Arbor Day in the Schools.

Arbor Day in the Schools.
Arbor Day will be celebrated tomor-
row by the children of the public schools,
especially in the country districts. The
Superintendent of Public Instruction
wants to promote the celebration in the
city as we'll, urging the children to plant
ivies where there is no room for plant
ing trees. A great number of trees are
being planted every year under the
stimulus of the occasion. The Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, through
the liberality of William A. Wadsworth
of Geneseo, is enabled to offer cash
prizes of $l00 for the best and $50 for
the second-best kept school-grounds in
the state. Competition is open to all
the district schools of the state. A
photograph or photographs Of the school
grounds must be taken sufficiently large
to afford fair opportunity of judging.
Accompanying must be statement as
to when the photograph was taken, and
diagram, with full explanation, con-
cerning the location and character of
walks, the kind and condition of fences,
the location and kinds of trees and
shrubs. The statement and diagrams
are to be made by trustees of school dis
tricts competing, endorsed by the School
Commissioner having jurisdiction, and,
together with photograph or photo
graphs, forwarded to the state superin-
tendent of Public Instruction before
October 1, 1901. - New York Evening

Elm Adapted to Grand Island Vicinity.
Today is Arbor Day, which was in
augurated by J. Sterling Morton, of
Nebraska City. Although this day,
which has been set apart for the partic-
ular purpose Of planting trees, is of re-
cent origin; tree planting is, in itself,
primitive industry.
Grand Island would have been today
veritable grove, had all of the trees
planted here, grown. But the greater
per cent of them were Box Elders, that
have, naturally, short life, and the
Black Locust, which is so infested by
insects, peculiar to it, that it soon dies.
With this experience, the impression
has been left that Grand Island and
vicinity is not adapted to any tree. The
The Conservative, 1901-05-09

idea is erroneous. The Elm and Honey
Locust have proven themselves adapt
able to the climate and soil of this re-
gion. Then, too, they are hardy and
long-lived trees.
Most people understand the matter
now, and are putting out mostly Elms.
This is easily seen by observing some of
the best trees in our city, among which
may be mentioned those about the
homes of Messrs. Abbott, Reimers and
Wolbach. These trees were planted
about ten or twelve years ago, and at
the present time are very large, many
of them being a foot in diameter.
Messrs. j. D. Martin, A. M. Hargis, w.
R. King and DR.. Boyden, are the more
recent planters Of large Elms, all of
which are making excellent growth.
It has been frequently the case that
eastern nurseries have sent shrewd
statesmen here, who secured orders for
trees and shrubs, bearing new-fangled
nursery names, which were not adapted
to our climate or soil, and consequently,
blasted many hopes of ever having
trees.
There are several nurseries in Hall
county but the trees thus far mentioned,
and, practically, all the largest Elms
in Grand Island, were furnished by
William Stolley, from his nursery just
south of town. Mr.. Stolley is not only
one of the pioneers of Hall county, but
he is also pioneer of the pioneer tree
men. A very large proportion of the
trees in the city have been secured from
his nursery, and although thousands
have been taken out, they are not
missed from his grove, which has now
grown to be almost forest. Every
thing may be seen there, from sprout
to saw log, three feet in diameter.
Yesterday, while the more elderly
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Stolley were
celebrating the Gath birthday anniver-
sary of Mrs. Stolley, W. A. Stolley
kindly showed the reporter the great
Cottonwoods, planted in the early days,
and the dense groves of Maple, Walnut,
Elm, etc. The grey squirrels frisked
about, and the scene reminded one of
the Michigan forests. Among the Ever
green's that form the hedgerow, about
the orchard in the interior of the grove,
the native Cedars are quite prominent
in number, but for beauty the Norway
Spruce, Scotch Pine and Rocky Noun
tain Silver Spruce cannot be excelled.
The pretty bull-rushes brought
thoughts of Moses and the swamp, but
we find they grow on high ground.
The Stolley home is perfect para
disc in summer, with the rich fragrance
of the flowers, singing birds and hum
ming bees, as one of the largest apiaries
in the state is situated within the beau

A Living Monument in Every Dooryard.
The attention of the enemies of j.
Sterling Morton is called to the fact that
he has monument erected to his
memory in almost every dooryard and
on almost every farm in the country.
And these monuments are living monu-
ments that afford fruit, shelter and COM

ments in the world. The name of

OF undue sentimentality in the trial
of female murderers. When a wo-
man smarting under some real or
fancied wrong violates the law by be-
coming the slayer of human being,
she deserves nothing more at the

man who commits murder. Ofcourse
a lady, rs long as she is such, is en-
titled to and should be accorded

In discussing the supreme court
race the politicians at Jefferson City
and those who congregate around
democratic headquarters in st. Louis,
invariably mention the name of
Judge Graves, and usually express
the opinion that he would make q
formidable candidate and a most ex-
cellent supreme Judge. The supreme
court is away behind with its work,
with the prospects of catching up in
the near future not very bright.
Aside from the other qualifications
essential III a supreme Judge, he
should be young imam Ofenergy and
physique to stand hard and persist

learning, the ability and experience
to II him for that high office, and
besides he is the most indefatigab bic
