Was Fired Upon From Ambush.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, March 26.-John
j. Rifle, restaurant keeper of Nc
Clellandtown, was fired at from am
bush last night by unknown parties,
who emptied their weapons and
then disappeared in the darkness.
Mr.. Rifle escaped without injury.
He is puzzled to know who his as
sailants are and is searching for the
motive for the strange attack. AT
ter the ambushing men had ceased
firing, they uttered some ugly
threats, which leads to the belief
that they were looking for some one
else.

FREER'S LETTER.
Telling why he Has Withdrawn
From the Contest.

No Hint ut Real Reason--Letter From
Morgantown Leaders Impelled Him
to Take Steps-Fast Mentioned as a
Possible Candidate What he Says of
it-0thers Refuse TO Allow use of
Their Names.
Freer's telegram Of Withdrawal has
been followed by letter which ex-
plains his action and tells ia detail
why he has withdrawn without saying
anything. The withdrawal is said to
be a result of letter which was writ
ten by Morgantown friends when they
found out why he had not been to
Preston county toattend the meetings
over there that had been arranged for
him. immediately on getting this
letter he withdrew from the contest
What will be done by the opponents
of White remains to be seen. They
don't want to support White and they
will not do so if they can help it,.
Most of their candidates however de-
cline to enter the list. The Iutelli-
gencer to-day has replies from all who
have been mentioned in that eonnee-
ton. They all refuse to allow the
use of their names except Senator
Fast of this place.
He states that If his candidacy
would unite the scattered factions of
the party that he would allow his
name to be used but not otherwise.
The members OF the party here want
some one to cross White but they do
not know yet what they will! do.
Freer's letter Is as follows;
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Washington, d. G.
To the Republicans of West Virginia.:
As a Republican, | desire, first of
all things, party harmony and success
and after mature deiiberation, | have
decided to withdraw from the race for
the Goyernorship, believing that my
continued candidacy would lead to
party strife and dissension. Further
more, | find that have not the phys
zeal strength to endure campaign
for the nomination, with the great
! bulk of the labor of the contest de-
volying on me alone.
Ny Congressional duties demand a
large share Of nay attention, and nee
essarily | would have to neglect them
| If | continue in the race for Governor
and this / cannot afford to do, and,
without resentment and without any
| feeling Of unkindness toward anyone.
| hereby formally withdraw from the
race for the nomination.
No man has truer friends than my
self. Through good report aud evil
report they have been loyal to me in
success and defeat. / can only hope
that at some future day, time or place
| may be able to recompense them for
their devotion.
This declination does not take me
out Of West Virginia politics, but, on
the contrary, it gives me an opportun-
| ity to do better and truer work for
the cause / love so much, freed from
the suspicion of any personal ambi-
tion.
AS Republicans, let US go forward
together.

FEBRUARY's GREAT TRADE.

The month Of February, 1909. has made
The most remarkable record of any Feb
ruary in the history of our foreign com
merce. The exports during that month have
averaged 5000 eco for every business day
in the month. and the total exports were
Sli9 7o5. 20 OF more than % per cent
greater than that Of any preceding. Febru-
ary. Not only are The exports larger than
those Of any preceding February. but the
excess Of exports over imports is also much
larger than I'm any preceding February. sur
passing those Of 1895 by nearly % per cent
and being more than 20 per cent in excess
of thai OF any earlier year
February is a month Of heavy imporJa-
lions. and il frequently happens that the
imports exceed the exports. so that an eX-
cess Of S5o.y@l6l2 in exports over imports
IN February makes he record OF the month
a remarkable one. despite the fact thai the

Mr.. Brackett said that thorough and oft.
repeated stirring OF the soil is absolutely
essential TO successful orchards. He said
IN no case should grass or small grain be
grown in the orchard.
Mr.. Bracket scientifically explains the
pruning Of an apple tree, and in a summary
says:
A gentle eastern or northeastern slope
as rule, is the most desirable for an or
chard site, but this may vary in different
apple sections
Soils such as are found in timber re-
gions afford the best results. but outside
of such districts clayey loan having free
surface and subsoil drainage are best.
'Well-rotted barnyard manure is the
most valuable for apple orchards The
next best fertilizer is crops of red clover
grown among trees and allowed TO fail
and rot on the ground or frequently turn
ed under and reseeded.
Thorough surface tilth is required to
obtain best results in the orchard and
when needing fertility the land should be
properly manured before plowing.
Trees are more safely set in early
spring. They should be strong vigorous,
one or TWO years old having well-de-
their tops should be cut back to the
height al which the main branches for The
future top is TO be formed. All broken
and mutilated roots should be cut back TO
sound wood. For easy planting open out
a deep furrow with a two horse plow along
the line where the rows are to be made
and cross check at the distance apart at
which the trees are to stand. At the
crosses level of the ground at the bot

Thorough tillage with cultivator dur
ing the growing season is recommended
and blowing the land each spring turning

'Prune each year in early spring before
growth starts. removing all cross branches,
and thinning out where too densely grown.
so as TO balance the tops and afford free
air circulation and admit sunlight TO all
parts OF the Tree.
"All classes Summer. autumn. and win
ter apples, must be carefully picked with
out loosening the stems from the fruit;
handled carefully TO avoid bruises or
breakage Of skin and placed under pro-
lection from sun and wind until final dis
position is made OF them. Apples for home
use should be STORED in some place where
the temperature should be kept as low as
possible without danger or frost.
Summer and autumn sorts if for mar
ket. require an immediate disposition, as
hey are quickly perishable. Winter va
rieties may be held FOR while during a
glut in the market and in seasons of a
shortage generally. At other times il is
a quest ion OF good business policy for the
producer to consider well the best way OF
