Prof. Nagel's first years work in
our music department has met with
the approval OF the most intelligent
and critical people and the praise he
has received from both the press and
public has been well deserved He is
a refined and skillful pianist, his rend-
itions are always artistic, aud to a
surprising degree he has impaired
these most valuable qualities TO his
pupils. Prof. Nagel is to be congrat-
ulated upon the success with which he

suing year.

IN The HOUSE,
richardson Attacks Secretary Gage
over the Sale Of the New
York Custom House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE urgent
deficiency appropriation bill was taken up
in the house today under an agreement
which limited the general debate to to-
day. 1t was the general expectation that
it would open stormy debate upon the
question of expansion, in view of the large
army and navy items it contains, but the
members early became very much en-
crossed in discussion of an item Of $780,
600 for rural free delivery, in which all are
personally interested. and the subject Of
expansion was barely touched upon.
The last hour of the debate was enliv-.
ened with an attack by Richardson, the
minority leader, upon the secretary of the
treasury for his course in connection with
the sale of the New York custom house.
He rehearsed the charges that Secretary
Gage has been guilty technically of en-
bezzlement In connection with the sale of
the custom house, in depositing the pro-
ceeds in a national bank which was
government depository. instead of the
treasury of the United States, but said
that this charge would not hold.
His purpose he said, was to show that
the City National bank had been favored
on account of the contributions of its d.
rectors to the Republican campaign fund
OF 1896. and to show that the course of
the secretary in allowing the purchase
price to remain in the bank, while at the
same time paying rent for the property
and keeping 1t exempt from taxation, was
not dealing fairly with the trust funds Of
the government.
Hopkins championed the course of the
secretary. declaring that his reply to the
house resolution answered every charge
brought against him, and displayed BUSH
ness ability that must meet the approval
of all fair minded people He insisted fur
thermore, that the title to the custom
house passed 10 the bank when it pur-
chased and took possession Of the prop

Boer dead of the hill and handed the
bodies over to their comrades at the bot
tom. Over ninety were thus carried on
Wagon hill alone.

The Democratic Contest.

Edwin f. Peters, of Lehman, was
in town Wednesday looking after
his fences. There seems to be little
life, so far, manifested in the Con-
gressional matter the representative
contest being decidedly to the front.
However, the aspirants for Congress
are said to be active in their respec-
tive interests and have a good
ground swell started which will give
some one q bath at the outcome.
Peters is sanguine that if he secures
the conferees he can land the nomi-
nation. He was to a certain extent
unknown by the people in the county
but his recent contact with them
has made an extremely favorable
impression and this coupled with the
some what prevalent belief that in
the event of his success Pike may
again be honored by the selection of
one worthy and well qualified for
the position gives his candidacy a
prestige in the face of the fact that
his'competitor has held the position
and is well known throughout the
county.

Natures Rare Gift.

No country possesses SC many beau
tiful woody plants as the United
States. They are generally found
growing where they thrive best, and
any desirable XII ds found growing by
the roadside that can be made to pro-
duce q proper form of growth should
be preserved and improved. The
law passed by some states for the pro-
lection of shade trees, where town or
city authorities may mark such trees
and shrubs as it is desirable to have
preserved, and making it a criminal
ofIense to destroy these thus marked,
are steps in the right direction and
should be adopted In every state.
There is nothing which adds 50
much to the comfort of the travelling
public as well shaded trees, and a
comparatively short time is required
for our most rapid-growing trees to
reach the size to afford considerable
shade. Whether we live to enjoy or
see others enjoy their beauty or not,
i'm suitable soil more than one gener-
alton will be benefited by them. If
every land owner would trim up and
care for a few trees found growing by
his roadside, or plant few each year
where noneare now growing, it would
be but short time before our coun-
try would be noted for the beauty of
its. roadways, as well as for the gen
eral comfort and beauty of the homes
of its common people.
Along almost every country road
may be found young trees that have
sprung up from seed planted by ma
ture i'm the shelter of the stone wall
or fence and hedgerows. These trees
are generally well rooted and if allow
ed to grow and are given proper care
as to pruning and protection while
young they will make better formed,
more hardy and long lived trees than
those grown in nurseries.
