FOR BRANCH LIBRARIES
The City Must Furnish Sites
and Maintenance.
MAGNIFICENT PROPOSITION.
The steel King Es willing TO Donate
$4,000 10 Each One of 65 Libraries
An lnterestin. Letter To the DIrec-
tor of the City,s Libraries.

New York. March 16.-Andrew Car
negie, who, since retiring as an active
figure from the steel world, has been
able to devote his time exclusively to
his other passion. the founding of
libraries, has made his departure for
Europe memorable by the largest of
fer of that kind ever advanced. IL
New York will provide the sites and
the maintenance he has promised to
give 5000, 900 to establish 6j branch
libraries in this city.
The offer was made in letter to
DIR. John 5. Billings, director of the
New York public library, last Tues
day. The correspondence in cOnnec-
ton with the offer was made public
last night, as follows:
New York, March 12.-Dr. John S.
Billings: Our conference upon the
needs of Greater New York for
branch libraries to reach the masses
of the people in every district has
convinced me of the wisdom of your
plans.
"SiXty-five branches strike one at
first as very large order, but as
other cities have found one necessary
for over 10000 or 10000 of population,
the number is not excessive.
"You estimate the average cost of
these libraries at $4,000 each, being
S5.2OO.OO0 for all. If New York will
furnish sites for these branches for
the special benefit of the masses of
the people as it has done for the Gem
tral library, and also agrees in salts
factory form to provide for their
maintenance when built, | should
esteem it IA rare privilege to be per-
mitted to furnish Il 4Ibney as need
ed for the building say S5,2OO,OOO.
SiXty-five libraries at one stroke
probably breaks the record, but this
is the day of big operations and New
York is soon to be the biggest of
cities. ANDREW CARNEG +.
DR.. Billings said yesterdays: Mr..
Carnegie's offer to provide library
buildings for Greater New York at Il
cost of over $5,OOO.OO0 is made with
dis usual conditions.
"If accepted it will result in the
greatest free public library system in
the world. We may fairly infer that
Mr.. Carnegie's idea is that the whole
should be under one management,
that of the trustees of the New York
public library. but this is not made
one Of the conditions.
''As to the question of sites, it is
not improbable that a considerable
number could be obtained without
cost to the municipality. through
gifts of public spirited citizens.
at is of the greatest Importance
that the system of public schools in
the city should be supplemented by a
system of libraries as is proposed,
and the sooner that work can be
commenced the better it will be for
the people and for the municipality.
MY estimate that it will take five
years to prepare and equip all the
buildings necessary is probably a
reasonable one, but if the matter is
taken up promptly by the municipal
authorities it would seem that this
time could be shortened. No doubt
there are number of difficult de-
tails to be settled, but there are a
number of competent men to settle
them"

PROPAGATING ROSES.
System of Budding by which Early
and Late Varieties Are Grown
on the Same Rush.

One of the easiest and best ways to
propagate roses is by budding. The
process is the same as with the peach,
pear, apple, etc, but will give short
description with an illustration to
make it little palmer. Select bud
from the rose you wish to propagate
and cut about one-fourth above and be-
low the bud taking out an elliptical
piece with little wood beneath it, as
shown in Fig. 1.
For the stalk take any hardy or wild

HIGH-PRICED BUTTER.
Before 1t Reached the Consumer on
the Continent of Europe 1t Was
Worth $3 Pound.

Not many people would be willing
to pay three or four dollars a pound
for butter if they lived where fairly
good butter was plenty at much
lower price. The editor of the Elgin
Dairy Report tells of gentleman
visiting the Darlington creamery,
which has or had reputation of sell
ing its product at one dollar pound
While there he saw a 20-pound pack
age put into large refrigerator case
and packed around with ice and
shipped to New York city. There it
would be re-iced and sent by the
steamer to an agent in London, who
would again repack it in ice and send
it to another party on the continent,
who would see that it was sent to the
consumer who had ordered it, The
expense of freight and packing would
scarcely be less than two or three
dollars per pound, besides the cost of
one dollar a pound at the creamery.
Such butter is only produced by good
cows, given good food and care, and
with also good care in regard to alb
solute cleanliness in stables, dairy
room and utensils and purity of the
air and water which comes in con-
tact with it. Not every one can make
butter that will sell for so cents or
one dollar a ponud, but many could
improve greatly on their product and
on the price they obtain for it if
they would take a little more pains
in these respects. And when they do
so we may see dairy butter regular
ly quoted as high or higher than that
from the. creamery.

when it has made a new shoot tie it to
this old stump to make it grow
straight. Buds of different roses,
crimson, white, red, etc. may be insert
ed in a single stalk, threby producing a
rose tree of many colors. 1t is not nee
essary to oud on the wild rose only, but
if you have some other single rose you
wish to improve, insert a bud or buds of
some nice variety, and think you will
be pleased with the result.
1 hope every lady reader of this pa
per will try this method of propagat-
ing, for it is very simple and easily
done, and you can have rose ready
for bloom in the same length of time it
would take a cutting to form roots.
And by using early and late varieties
on the same bush one can have sue

A Card To The Public.

AS my name has been supplied by
more practical and efficient men / wish
to take this means to publicly thank
the people of Winnesheik county for
the hearty response they gave mel in re-
turn for my labors in working up this
years fair. We promised them a pro-
gram not surpassed in previous years,
which we gave them and by the way
the attendance held up even to the last
day we have reason to believe they
were appreciated. We have demon
strated beyond doubt that fair associ-
alton can be conducted without max
ing it a professional horse trot. We
probably gave the smallest purses this
year for horse racing that has been
given in the history of the Society.
And when 1 realize that my efforts
were made squarely against the best eff.
forts of the entire list of horsemen OF
owners of race horses of DEBORAH, and
some of the prominent business men,
the results are all the more gratifying
to me for which we again thank the
people of Winnesheik county for theil
support and cooperation in making the
fair of 1901 q success. Yours truly,
r. F. TYLER, Sec'y.

W. R. c. CONVENTION.
A Large and Enthusiastic Convention
at the Post Rooms last Thursday.

The district convention of the Wo-
mans Relief Corps, held in this city
last Thursday, was one of the best at
attended and most pleasant similar
events ever held in the district. Mrs.
Georgia Worker, of Davenport, the
Department President, was present,
and lent much valuable advice and
enthusiasm to the convention. There
were upwards of twenty Corps repre-
sented, and the different sessions were
largely attended by the members of
the local organization. The principal
business session was held in the after
noon, when business of secret nature
was transacted, looking toward the
betterment of the organization in
many ways. Dinner and supper were
served by the local ladies, to the
visitors and comrades of the Grand
Army, and Sons of Veterans, and in
the evening rousing camp fire was
held, with stirring patriotic addresses
by several of our best speakers. 1t was
voted to hold the next convention at
Nashua The visitors departed the
next day, leaving behind them many
kindly expressions complimenting the
local ladies upon their entertainment
and their splendid home Corps.

Four Fine Entertainments.

1t is seldom that an entertainment
of the character of the moving picture
show that was at the Grand opera
house Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Monday evenings draws such crowds
in DEBORAH, for it takes an entertain
ment of high merit and reputation to
fill our popular play house. We do
not wish to infer that this show does
not belong to this class of entertain
ments, but that a company's reputa-
ton must precede it to draw crowds.
1t was not the case with this company,
however. The first evenings enter
tainment demonstrated its excellence,
and each evening afterward the house
was filled. The pictures were distinct
and pleasing, and all were highly
pleased with them.

anime them for pearls, as is the custom
with all clam fishers. She found a
dozen or fifteen pretty little pearls, but
was amazed while searching to find q
pearl larger than halle nut and well
shaped. 1t is beautiful turtle back
pearl, perfectly shaped on one side, and
weighs forty-two grains. Mr.. Burdick
was offered fifty dollars for it just as he
left by the pearl buyers who were there
but believes that it is worth much
more money, and will keep it until hi
