A Costly Funeral.

The most costly state funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps that
of Alexander the Great. A round mil
lion was spent In laying Alexander to
his rest. The body was placed In a
coffin of gold, filed with costly aro-
mates, and diadem was placed on
the head. The funeral car was embel-
lished with ornaments of pure gold,
and its weight was so great that 1t
took "a mules more than year to con-
yey 1t from Babylon to Syria.

is near, well. let him come on, but until

TUESDAY MORNING SESSION.
Director Amos gave an interesting
talk Introductory to the important
days work.
Prof. Patterson gave a splendid
talk on the subject of Commercial
Fertilizers" He urged the farmers to
make the best use of stable manure.
AS far as practicable take the manure
from the stable and spread upon the
ground at once.
We are told that we can raise a
sufficient quantity of nitrogen upon
the farm by producing clover and
other legume crops. To make the
plant food already in the ground
available a well pulverized soil is
necessary, and in addition to this the
application of lime changes the chem
ical condition of the soil to a profit.
Bulletin No. 6G from the Expert
ment Station fully explains the value
of lime. Can be had by the asking.

Theatre goers differ largely in taste.
Some enjoy drama, some orchestral
music, some band music, some are ap-
pealed to more strongly by special
ties, songs, dances, etc. Others are
reached through the eye, beautiful
scenery, elaborate stage settings, ele-
CANT costumes, correct colorings and
artistic groupings please them above
all else. The attraction gathering to-
gether and presenting all these things
in a first-class manner is the one that
will please everybody. The Frank

very thing, and is reaping harvest.
They will be at the Opera House for
three nights beginning Thursday
evening, January II and the people
of this city will be with them.

TWO GREAT EVENTS

Two great events in the history OF
civilization have been recorded this
week. One is the sending of messages
across the Atlantic without the aid of
wires or cable. The other is the an
nouncement of the Pennsylvania Rail
road that it will build a tunnel under
the North River at New York City and
the East River to Long Island City,
connecting the railroads of New York,
New Jersey and Long Island.
This latter is an engineering feat of
such enormous expense and great diff
Guilty that it would have been deemed
impracticable but a few years ago. Now
the announcement of the undertaking
by a private corporation excites but
little stir in the world.
Marconi's feat in spanning the At
lantic. which is far more wonderful
than the first Atlantic cable. has caused
little excitement in the world, al
though it may mean more than any
other single invention has ever meant.
1t may right at this juncture have a
direct bearing on the destiny of ma
tons. It may save the cost of the Pa
cifc cable and may join the Philippines
and Hawaii more closely to the United
States.
This invention annihilates distance
and breaks down more barriers than the
telegraph or telephone It is impossible
to predict what the future development
Of electricity may bring us.
