NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Bees can endure dry cold, but not
dampness.
When honey is overhcatcd it's color
is injured.
Spring is usually the best time to in
vest in bees
Lack of ventilation is a cause of
dampness III many hives.
More bees are lost by wintcring than
by disease o. any other cause.
Bees Matched in the fall will live
through the winter until spring.
Extracted honey is much easier kept
than comb honey. as the latter is liza
bic to get soiled.
NO droncs are reared in a colony I'M
til the colony becomes strong with
plenty of worker brood.
Combine Bookkeeping with fruit
growing and you can more easily pro-
cure two crops from the same land.
Honey that remains in the comb for
some time after being stored is al
ways the best article when extracted.
In very cold weather bees often die,
and, falling, will clog the entrance.
Incy must be removed or the bees will
smother.
During the winter care must be
taken in removing dead bees, so as not
TO disturb the hive and arouse them
into activity.
Stirring honey unnecessarily causes
it to candy sooner than it otherwise
would. Usually there is no reason for
disturbing it.
All work that is to be done with
bees in winter time must be done on
warm days while the bees are flying,
and at no other time.
If there is too much drone comb in
the hive remove it and replace it with
worker comb. In this way the supply
of drones is easily regulated.
1t is not so much in understanding
the theory of Bookkeeping that brings
success as i'll the capacity for looking
after the Gctails.-St Louis Republic,
The entrances to the hives should be
contracted during the winter. The
bees do not require the full-sized en-
trance for ventilation in winter, even
though the colony be strong one.

The Nests and Roost..

Most persons have the roosts over
a board and the nests underneath,
which economics the space. If the
house is not crowded. then the nests
should be in a separate location and
the board roost pat lower to the floor.
If the floor is hard, then a droppings-
board is unnecessary. provided that
fresh dry earth, plaster or kanit be
used as ahsorbents; in fact, ksinit
shon!d be used at all times with dirt
or any other material The only OBJ
Ject of the droppings-board is to pro
tect the nests shc'lld they be located

politics. That an exceedingly bad

so clear and apparent to every one thai
all the efforts of those who attempted
to introduce machine politics as well
as some Of the evening papers to deny
the fact VIII have little or no weight.
The machine was so clearly seen by
all that it is useless to try and hide the
fact by trying TO denounce such men
as George Carter and McCants Stewart.
The public must judge people by their
acts, and certainly George Carter. Nc
Giants Stewart and Mr.. Andrews stand
today before the public as opponents
OF fair, clean politics, which is an en-
viable position when compared with
that taken by others who made them
selves prominent on Wednesday night.

BOWMAN AGAIN ARRESTED.
Acquitted of Murder, He Is Charged
with Aggravated Assault and
Battery on John Kneirem.

William Bowman, of Petersburg, who
was tried before Judge Archibald dur
ing the early part of the week, on the
charge of the murder of John Kneirem,
of Paul street, Petersburg, and who
was acquitted, was rearrested yester-
day by Constable NJ Feirstein, on "A
warrant Issued by Alderman Myrou
Kasson, at the instnace of Mrs. Mary
Knerem, widow of John Kneirern,
charging him with aggravated as
sault and battery on her late hus-
band.
He waived a hearing and entered
bail in the sum of $500. Michael Nc
Loughlin, of Petersburg, became his
bondsman.
As will be remembered, on January
6. 1900, Kneirem and Bowman had a
quarrel, in which Bowman, who was
intoxicated, stabbed Kneirem eight
times with his knife. He was arrested
at the time on the charge of felon-
ious wounding, and six weeks later
Kneirem dided. The result of the in
quest conducted by Coroner j. j. Rob-
erts indicated that the wounds had
nothing to do with the death, which
was due to dilitation Of the heart.
The grand jury, however, indicted
Bowman for murder. At the trial,
Bowman was acquitted on the evidence

ing that counsel be engaged to Join
with the Wholesale Grocers' associa-

law, the following Harrisburg dispatch
will be of interest:
Harrisburg, April 17.-Judge Simonton today
handed down an opinion in case Of much I'm.
portai,cc regarding the revenues of the common
wealth. The legislature OF 1899 imposed a mer'
camille license tax on yenders and dealers in
goods wares and merchandis, requiring an an
nual license tax of 500 and one mill additional
OH each dollar Of business transacted, whole
salers to pay $500 and oEo.half mill additional
on each dollar OF business; dealers at any ex-
change or board of trade to pay 25 cents On
each $1,000 worth Of e eds sold.
David W. Cotterel, a real estate vcnder in
the city Of Harrisburg, contested the tax. His
counsel, eN.Dcputy Attorney General Lyman ID.
Gilbert, CoItcnded that the act unconsti.u-
tional. Judge Simonton, in his opinion, holds
that the legislature has the power to separately
classify wholesalers and retailers and exchanges
and boards of trade. Tie suit may be taken to
the supreme court.

Cheaper Fares on the Lackawanna.

1t is the intention of the Lackawan-
ma railroad, as soon as the tariffs can
be prepared and distributed, to sell
round trip tickets between all stations
except between Buffalo and New York
and intermediate stations affected.
These round trip fares will be a ma
terial reduction from, double the one
way fare and will be limited, lgoing,
to one day from date of sale, and. re-
turning to thirty days from date of
sale, and will be good for continuous
passage only in each direction. Agents
first will be supplied with round trip
fares between stations on their divi-
sion and these will be followed by
inter-division fares, thereby enabling
them in a short time to sell round trip
tickets between all stations.
Information concerning these rates
may be secured from all ticket agents.
and as soon as tariffs can be printed
they will he posted in stations for in
spection by the public. ~

A coroner's jury decided last night
that James Nolan killed his father,
John Nolan, in Carbondale on the
night of April II.
Young Nolan, it will be remembered,
is now in the county Jail awaiting
the action of the next grand jury on
his case.
The inquest last night was conducted
In the office of Alderman S. S. Jones
by Coroner J. j. Roberts, Drs. Kelly
and ellis testified as to the mans in
juries and how they had caused his
death. Patrick Nolan, brother of
the accused man, took the stand and
said that he had conversed with his
brother in the county Jail on Tues
day and that the latter said he had
struck his father in self-defense. He
said that his brother would not say
how the quarrel started or anything
further about the incident.
Alexander Mcdonald, a son-in-law
of the deceased man, testified as to
hearing the quarrel in the, yard and
finding Mr.. Nolan a few minutes af-
'terwards some twenty PAGES from the
house. He saw young James Nolan
running away III Ine OlreCtlOn OF Ine
railroad tracks at the same time.
Witness further testified that he
found gun in the yard with the
stock broken and had heard it said
that the old man had run upstairs
after this. The gun, he said, was al
ways kept under Mr. Nolan's bed.
1t will be remembered that young
Nolan contended on the night of the
murder that his father had struck
him with a gun.
Martin Casey, who also arrived on
the scene a few moments after the
incident, was sworn, but he knew
nothing further than Mr.. Mcdonald.
The jury finally decided upon the fol-
lowing verdict:
From the evidence, we the jury
in this inquest, are convinced that the
fatal blow received by John Nolan
was inflicted by his son, James Nolan,
with some blunt instrument and that
his death was due to the said blow.
tSigned j. f. McAndrew, E. ]. Neary,
NJ. +. Norton, w. d. Evans, +. j. Nc
Hale and F. L. Jenkins"
There having been no witnesses to
the affair it would seem that young
Nolan has a hard fight ahead of him
to prove that he acted in self-defense.
1t has not yet been discovered with
what kind of weapon the blow was
inflicted.
