The Apple Crop.

The United States crop of apples this
year, accord ng to the final reports, will
approximate 4s,OOO,OOO barrels, after
deducting losses hy the September
gales. This yield compares wi h 81 800 :
600 barrels last year and G9,OOO.CGO, the
bumper crop, in 1876. Nes York, as a
whole, has a good crop, Michigan better
than farther west, Ohio uneven. New
England is securing good many win
ter apples, and the crop is considerably
larger than one year ago, except in Con
necticut. Nova Scotia apple growers
lost heavily by high winds, and ssti-
mates are for not over half full crop.
Ontario yield cons derabiy larger than
last year. The season opened with
medium to low prices, situation some
what mixed, growers genrally showing a
disposition to sell direct from the orch
ards. While the trade this fall is M
settled and markets over supplied. it is
not improbable that good fruit, well
packed, will command far prices later
in the season.

Forest City odd-Fellows.

Friday night November 10th, 1900,
will long be remembered as a notable
event in the history of Forest City
Lodge, 57S, l. o. o. F. This was the
time set for the formal opening OF their
new hall over the City Hall.
There were fourteen candidates for
initiation, besides candidates for other
degrees from this lodge and five from
Oregon lodge. The homs team was assist
ed by the degree teams from Oregon lode Q
aud from New Point Lodge. The work
was most creditably done, and all
present were delighted with the pleas
ant manner in which all things passed
off.
From 1l:3O to 1890 o'clock, lunch was
served in the lower story Of city hall,
and the wives. mothers and sisters of
the members Of the order contributed to
the pleasure OF the evening by prepar-
ing one of the most sumptuous banquets
ever spread in Forest City, of which
about one hundred Odd Fellows par
took. The noticeable thing Of the eve
ming was the fraternal feeling that per-
vaded the entire atmosphere and made
ell present feel the tie that binds, for a
more congenial and merrier assenblage
never collected in the county. About 3
o'clock m. the the lodge completed
its work and adjourned and all left, feel
ing tnat it was good to have been there.
and that in the practice of friendship,
love, and truth is found great enjoy
ment and blessings.
Forest City Lodge was organized
June 20, 1893. with five charter men,
bers, viz: L. P. Watson, A. j. Lyons, A.
j. Ulsh, E. NJ. Austin and c. G. Landon.
On the same date twenty three were ad-
ded and the growth has been steady un-
ill at present the membership has
reached nearly eighty.
The lodge met until the present in a
small room over Richardson & Robinson
store. but now the present commodious
hall is not surpassed for convenience and
comfort by any lodge hall in the county.
Long may Forest City Lodge enjoy
prosperity, and continue to advance, is
the wish Of all the visiting brethren who
expressed themselves as far as they
could find words adequate to the oc-
casion.

with the Old Masters.

What is more beautiful than the re-
fined in art! 1t is not only pleasure
giving, but it rs elevating and inspiring.
As we train the ear for a love Of good
music, so should we cultivate the eye to
keen sense of the beautiful. The
study of the Fine Art gives tone to ones
moral and mental character that moth
ing else can. No one is wholly bad
whose nature can be appealed to through
the ideal
What is more desirable than to be-
come familiar with the masters, and the
subjects made famous by them with
brush and palette. We should not only
become acquainted with the names Of
such artists and know something OF
their lives, but we should learn to fol-
low up the contrasts and conceptions OF
the different artists in their treatment
of the same same subject. To do this
we must come in contact with such
work There is vast field of study in
the different Nativities, Madonna and
Infants, Life of Christ, CrucifiXiOns,
Resurrections and others of Biblical
character.
You.will soon be given an opportunity
to stimulate your interest in such work.
You may study the artists of the diff
erent centuries, the diffe. ent nations,
and different schools. You may familiar
,ze yourself with Italian art after its
restoration by Guide and Cimabue of
18th century: you take up the workwith
the Gothic period: or refresh your men,
ory with Renaissance architecture: you
may s udy Leonardo da Viuce; The Last
Supper as whole or each figure in de-
tail, at your pleasure.
Copies of Michael Angeles and Ra-
phoel's cartoons OF Sistine Chapel ard
Hampton Court fame respectively may
be reviewed. Hoffmans pictures OF
Chris are numerous AID beautiful
There will be whole sets Of Madonnas ut

There will he portraits of famous men
and women, po t.. authors, artists, mus
ical composers. and pictures Of their
homes: pictures Of famous buildings,
scenery, sculpture and archi ecture: all
OF which are well adapted for school
work
In fact, there will be all kinds Of art
to suit all lovers of the same in what
ever branch of the work you may bc
most interested. IL. after furnishing

The Burllngton's ABSORPTION.

Inc meeting which was held in the
Office of Auditor C. NJ. NJ. Carter of the
Burlington in ST. Joseph. Saturday
morning, Of the officials Of the road, Coz
summated the deal which brought the
Missouri lines operated by the Burlinp
ton under the management of that road.
The deal has been under contemplation
Tor the past few years The roads were
practically under the management of
the burlington, and there was but little
Stock in these roads which was not
owned by that system. The roads which
became part of the general Burlington
system have been leased by that road,
and operated by it, so that the change
made in the management of them is
practically none at all. The deal was a
mere formality, necessary to he gone
through with, and had been ratified by
the stockholders of the entire system at
a meeting la,i "Wednesday in the east.
There were none of the head officials
present at the meeting, with the excep-
tion of those which operated the Bur
lington lines in Missouri. of which Mr.
s. +. Cranes is general superintendent,
and &. NJ Carter is auditor.
There has been much discussion con
cernIng the possible r. emoval of the ac-
counting department of the Burlington
from st. 10 cph on account of the con
solidati..n If thu many systems into one,
but the officials say there will be no
such move, at any rate MT in the near
future. The roads havI"g been under
the practical operation OF thu one sys-
TEN for the past two years or more. and
the acc uniting department h wing re-
manned in ST.. Joseph during that time,
goes to show that there has arisen no
cause for the removal at the present
At the eastern meeting of the stock
holders of the Burlington there were
twenty seven roads III Missouri taken
under the management of that road, and
the five roads which vera still without
the fold of the general system, and
which were taken in Saturday were:
Kansas City, st. Joseph Il Council
Bluffs; Grant Cty i Nebras ka; Hanni-
bal 4 ST Joseph; IT. Joseph Il Des-
Moines, and st. Joseph i Nebraska.
