COURT CONVENED TUESDAY.
The November Term of the District
Court Regan the Regular
Fall Grind Tuesday

There is long grist of cases to be
tried at the term of district court twhich
convened here on Tuesday They
run the gamut from simple action to
quiet title to trial for selling liquor
and committing base crimes. Among
the cases are the following groups: 7
appeals, prosecutions of liquorcases
on information, | case of contempt.
: receivorships-the Moran bank and
the lola Manufacturing company, /
suits for partition, IL cases of fore
closure of continuation, 5at5achments,
replevin suits, 20 divorce cases, A
suits to quiet title, % cases where
damages are asked, 3 suits for statu-
tory liability against the directors of
the defunct Moran bank.
It is interesting to note the way the
gas leases have come into prom
inence, H. +. Bmtiss, Frank Cruise,
NJ. a. Fish and J..P. Rose are suing
the Lanyon Zinc Company to have
he leases on their land set aside and
H. A. Ewing has enjoined them from
drilling on his land. J. w. Edwards
brings a similar suit against the lola
gas company.
On the criminal docket there is the
case of burglary committed by b. b.
McClelland, larceny by William Tate
and Elmer Reeves, assault by George
Cornell, bastardy by William Wixon,
Other cases haye been filed since the
docket was made up and may be tried.
The most important of these is the
tramp arrested at Humboldt.
The twenty-four divorce cases show
that the life of the ancient maid and
the bald headed bachelor have some
advantages-there is no danger of
suits for separation.
The docket is adorned with the usual
ingenious quotations by :the hand of
II. NJ. Miller The bench, the bar nd
the jury each are given some classic
and significant rhymes to ponder. In
addition to these he has dded a new
one: "To My Successor. " The quo
tatiOns are as follows:
Already am | worn with cares and age
And just abandoning the unRrateful stage;
But you, whom every muse ana grace adorn
Whom foresee 10 better fortune born,
BE kind TO my remains; ana oh, defend
Against your judgment your depart ed friend
Let not the insulting foe my fame pursue
Bnt guard those laures whichdesc end to you"
Dryden.
And further on he puts in:
ITO those who go not out with me-
When shall have departed;
But who abideth for a time
Within the courts of this temple.
Thou shalt have chariots easier than air
Which will have invented; and thyselyes
Who art the messengers shall ride before him
On steeds cut out of entire diamonds,
Thou shall be made to go with golden wheels
know not how yet,"-Auou

Will Amputate His Leg.

A very unusual and very distress
ing story comes from west of the river.
Mr.. Peter Carol, who is past sew
enty years old, will be operated on
soon by DR.. Cox in the desperate hope
of saving his life. Some time ago the
old gentleman was trimming his toe
nails and his knife cut his flesh
slightly. Nothing was thought of it
at the time but the toe became sore
and the wound refused to heal. Grad
ually it became worse and now well
developed case of gangrene threatens
to end his life. The only hope, the
doctors think, lies in amputation and
so the leg will be cut off between the
hip and the knee. Certain death is
imminent if the gangrene is allowed to
extend and it seems more than likely
that the severe shock of so extensive
an operation cannot be survived 10y
one of Mr.. Carrolls's age. The OPP
Grafton will be performed Saturday
morning.

WILL GO RIGHT TO WORK.
The Missouri Pacific Railroad Will I'M
mediately Commence Work on Its
Cement Switch.

If, as the REGISTER has been given
certainly to suppose. the Santa Fe
will build a line out to LaHarpe as
soon as the Missouri Pacific builds Il
switch to the cement plant, the gage
has been thrown down and it is up to
the Santa Fe.
The Pacific has quietly gone ahead
and surveyed the proposed switch and
has also secured from all the property
owners along the route right of way
through their land. The estimates
and the figuring have been done at the
head offices and nothing remains but
to begin work.
a resident representative of the COM
pauy, in conversation with a REGISTER
reporter last evening stated that he ex-
pected force here to-day possibly,
but at any rate within few days TO
begin the work. The Pacific people
think they have perfect right to go
after business wherever they see it and
rather incline to the belief that the
talk of building to LaHarpe is but a
bluff. When work is really done the
public will be able to make better es-
innate of the intentions of the Santa

in the animal. kim gdom that the larg-

suits, while to'use poor stock and seed
Tor propagation the progeny will soon
degenerate and become worthless.
Next 1 cut to one eye in each piece
and drop one piece in each hill, thus
we get one stem with healthy, strong
roots capable of producing large pota-

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
Seeding Down to Glover II q Practice
That VIII Pay n Profit on the
Expense Incurred.

When the character and lay of the
land will admit, very good plan OF
management is to keep in cultivation
during the first four or five years aft
er setting out and then, after the trees
begin to bear well and are reasonably
well established, to seed down to
clover. On account of the benefit to
the soil in various ways, it will pay to
use clover in seeding down in prefer
ence to grass.
But before seeding down good
drainage should be provided, as trees
cannot be kept healthy if water is al
lowed to stand around the roots.
A very good plan is to throw the
dirt to the trees, making the burrows
in the middle between the trees. Care
should be taken in running out the
burrows to avoid washing. Then the
soil can be prepared in good filth, har-
rowing and dragging in order to Sc
cure a smooth surface, before sowing
the seed. "A little care in properly
preparing the ground before seeding
will aid materially in securing better
results.
Unless heavy applications of manure
are given the average farm soil cannot
grow other crops and crop of fruit
at the same time, and while cultiva-
ton is beneficial while the trees are
growing, whenever they commence to
bear they should have the soil to them
selves. The growing of clover can be
made beneficial to the soil rather than
detrimental, hence it is good plan to
sow clover and either use hog ras-
ture or allow it to grow, mature and
fall down and rot on the land. A good
growth of clover will keep down the
weeds and add to the fertility of the
soil.
Early in the spring is good time to
sew clover, and if the orchard is to be
seeded down it will pay TO arrange so
as to do the work in good season.-N.
j. Shepherd, in Farmers Voice.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Mulch the asparagus and rhubarb
plants.
Now is good time to manure rasp-
berries. 4
A difference in soil makes a differ.
ence in the fruit.
Fine, rich compost makes the best
fertilizer for flowers. =.
If mildew appears on the rose bushes
dust them with sulphur.
All root trees transplant much Det-
ter when small than large.
Trim and clean up the orchard, gath
er up the brush and burn it.
Poultry for the plum trees and swine
for the apple orchard is good COM
bination. .
Plant life cannot be sustained with.
out proper food any more than ami
NAL life can.
One of the best why's Of getting rid
of ants is to dust their hills freely and
frequently with lime or wood ashes.
In pruning avoid the extremes Of
too compact or too open heads. Let
the top shade the trunk, yet EeT in air
ond Fight.
In setting out trees or plants, II is
rarely BEST to shorten the roots. Sa1fil
ply cut OFF any that may in any way
be injured.
Walnut, hickory, pecan and other
nutbearing trees make excellent
shade trees along the roadsides and in
the pastures.
