 Rewards will be offered for the arrest and conviction of rustlers and thieves and posses will be available night and day to take the trail. The instant the theft of stock is reported the secretary will notify the executive com- mittee of each county, and cor don of hard riders and good shots will be thrown around all outlets from the raided territory, so that it will be impossible for the raid CTS to escape. The sheriff and other officers of the law will also be given all possible assistance.

As we walk along in the warm sunshine with the cool breeze playing upon our tepid foreheads, etcetera, there is something amusing in the mere thought of the blizzardy snow storm that rages and gnashes its teeth and switches its tail and howls and roars and kills and stops railway trains in the Missouri valley. We consider it a source of great su- periority, sir, that we have the good sense, sir, to live where the climate is done up in blue baby ribbon and scented silk paper, sir, where the morning bath is taken in imaginary water; a brisk walk is enjoyed down the imaginary boulevard; and by the aid of a pipe the mornings news can be imagined"

OHIO RIVER FLOODED

Dispatch from Cincinnati dated April 20, says: The peculiar weather conditions during the week culminated in a rain and snow storm almost unprecedented in its dimensions, and so distri- buted that tremendous floods in the Ohio are impending.
 It is too early to predict the extent of the damage from the coming floods, but all the symp- toms point to a stage of water that must bring devastation of the most serious nature all along the Ohio river and its tributaries in Ohio, Kentucky and West Vir- ginia.

Saturday, April ?, 1901.

MRS. ANNIE w. CLARK of Co., lumbus, Ohio, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, has addressed a formal note to the women of the Ohio society of California, protesting against the serving of wine at the banquet which the society is to give to Mrs. Mckinley and the ladies of the cabinet at the launching of the battle-ship Ohio next month. Mrs. Clark's note represents the senti ment of 12,O00 women, and concludes as follows: "The occasion and the the guests are representative, and the eyes of the entire nation are upon them! the press and the people will pass judgement. Ohio mothers, sisters, wives and daughters plead that your exam- pie shall be for righteousness in the nation with purity in the home. Yours for the honor of Ohio"

CALIFORNIA STOCKMEN ORGANIZE

The California Stockraisers' Protective Association, says the Southwestern Stockmau, is new organization that promises to te- come one of the strongest organ izations in the country. The association has seveuty-three charter members, including the wealthiest and most prominent stockmen in Central California.
 A constitution and bylaws have been adopted, and the organiza- tion is effective and in good working order. Its purposes are the protection of the stockmen's interests in every branch of the business, but particular stress is laid upon the enforcement of the quarantine laws, the protection of the herds from all contagious

Wherever there is soil enough to keep plants in place, a garden may be made and vegetables grown.

OF THE IMPERIAL StI-
 ELEMENT

The country being new and un- developed, of course no one can speak with any accuracy as to the crops best suited to this sec tion, but it is the universal be- lief of all who have examined the soil and conditions here that all most everything grown in South ern California can be produced here when these lands are brought in touch with water.
 While it is not believed that citrus fruits can be profitably grown here, it is thought that de- ciduous fruits will develop to perfection, and that eventually this will be one of the greatest, if not indeed the greatest, early fruit, vegetable and melon coun- tries on the globe.
 It is absolutely certain, how ever that alfalfa can be produced on these lands to the extent of from eight to twelve tous per acre, and also sorghum, wheat, barley and other similar farm productions can be successfully grown throughout this section of country, thus making it possible to build up a livestock industry unsurpassed in California, if in fact i'll the United States.
 The date palm, which the ag- ricultural department is intro ducing into this country is also certain to thrive throughout the desert. A number of these trees, loaded with fruit of a delicious flavor each year, can now be seen at Hanlan's, each bearing from four to six clusters a year, and each cluster weighing from thirty to sixty pounds, while about eighty trees may be planted to atl acre of ground.
 It is among the future possibil- ities that the culture of sugar beets will receive much attention, though the early settlers will likely turn their attention at first almost entirely to the pro- duction of early vegetables, as are such that all crops can be placed on the market from this section one to two months earlier than from any other part of Southern California.

 The furore over the Belgian hare has probably reached its climax. It has in- vaded Missouri and Arkansas,and as these states are about the last to be re- ached by fads good or bad, the crazs must be near the end of it's tether. How the hares are regarded in Missouri may be inferred from the fact that pre- sumably intelligent member of the legislature of that state, having par taken of one, declared that it was "just like rabbit"

 After all we must come back to the old truism; that men and women are like water; they always find their true level. And where you live happiest, that is your level. There's polluted water, and there's clear water. But one law is memorable; the closer you get to nature, the truest and simplest thing there is because it is closest to God, the clearer always will you find the water.

 Aguinaldo has taken the oath of all legiance to the United States. Let us us hope he did not commit perjury. Let the government rely on this oath while it is kept, but let a loyal and vigilant United States soldier, with a well-kept and loaded Mauser rifle, all ways be near enough to act promptly if the half cast Chinaman ever proves false.

Name of Road.
Employees Drop Pension Plan.

Employees of the Michigan Central, after
prolonged consideration, have voted down
the pension proposition. The proposition
did not come from the officers of the road
but was favored by several connected with
the line, and when the matter was brought
before a large committee they could not
agree and on it's recommendation the en-
tire question has been dropped Several
months ago employees OF the Chicago Mil
waukee u st. Paul received a PROPOSE
ton from the managers of the road for
the formation OF a pension department
The Milwaukee plan was put to vote of
the employees and defeated. The position
of the men of that system was that they
did not care to provide pension for them
selves out of their own pockets, and it
would appear from the actions of the en-
ployes of these two roads that the men
will not favor any pension plan for en-
ployes, even If il only involved partial
support by the employees. The pension
plans of the Pennsylvania, the Chicago *
entirely corporation affairs, the fund be-
of money set aside for the purpose, and
employees of these roads profess themselves
satisfied with the workings of their PEN
sion system. The charge that the pension
plan is only a scheme to get rid of men
after they have reached certain ages has
not been approved. The age at which men
will be retired is figured by the manager
at about the time employees have served
their usefulness in any capacity, and. In
stead of discharging them, they will be
pensioned.

RACING OVER THE SNOW
CONTINUOUS PROGRAMME on NORTH
CAPITOL AVENUE.
Members of the Driving Club and
Other Owners of Fast Horses
Out i'm SIeighs.

North Capitol avenue was converted into
a race course yesterday afternoon, and be-
tween Ohio and st. Clair streets there We're
many contests. There were hardly dozen
wheeled vehicles on the thoroughfare dur
ing the afternoon the sleighs having COM
plete ownership of the best racing street
in the city. While there was strong dis
elimination against anything with wheels
to it, there was but little against the vari-
Gus kinds of sleighs Anything that could
glide along the icy street was welcomed.
The horsemen with good speeders turned
up a frosty, ruby-colOred nose at the
'nags" that logged along. but there was
no i'll feeling toward the sleighs.
The racing began early in the afternoon.
1t was a little too cold for comfort, but
that did not hinder the lovers of the sport
from enjoying the first sleighing of the
winter. There were many fast horses on
the street, members of the Driving Club
and others that own animals that can go
better than three fiat being in the merry
panorama of flying, jingling sleighs. There
was a desire to slip past the sleigh just
ahead. These attempts to go to the front
were always accepted challenges for a
burst OF speed. Pedestrians were not mo-
Tested by the sleighs. as there were but
few persons on the avenue who cared to
cross the street.
All along the avenue families gathered at
the front windows and watched the sport.
Here and there could be seen men and
women and children at windows, who gave
evidence that they did not depend upon gas
to heat their houses, but at three ourths
of the windows women were bundled in
wraps, and they looked as chilly as the
outdoor atmosphere felt.
