Death Of Michael Krelg.

The passing out of Michael
Kreig on Thursday of last week
moves another prominent land
mark from our midst. For many
years Mr.. Kreig was an active
furniture manufactures of our
city, but there came time when
old age crept upon him, "the
sound of the grinding was low and
the pitcher broken at the cis-
tern" The old gentleman re-
tired from business, turning affairs
over to his sons, waiting himself
for the summons to call him home.
In the death of Michael Kreig,
Logan loses a good citizen and a
man who has done much for our
town. He was the father of a
large and highly esteemed family.
MICHAEL KRIEG-Michael Krieg
was born Feb. 25th, 1925, in the
village of Kasselbourg, County
Lomanx, France. Emigrated with
his fathers family to America and
settled in Wayne Co., Ohio in 1880.
In 1889 they moved to Perry Co.,
Ohio. Father commenced his
trade that Of carpenter with Tunis
Butin in 1S46. Later on he learn
ed the cabinet trade. In 1857 he
with A. B. Butin, d. White, A.
Huston and K. G. Collins originat-
ed what is now the Logan Mfg.
Co., and was with this firm until
the year 1884. He also carried on
planning mill business in Nelson
vile until 1892, when he retired
from active business.
He was married to Leah Friesner
Feb. A, 1855, and with the excep-
tion of one year they have always
resided in the present homestead.
To them were born eleven children
two of whom have preceded him.

Resolutions Of the Farmers Institute.

The Committee on Resolutions
reported as follows:
Resolved, That we declare
against any change being made in
our present game laws by the COM
ing Legislature.
That we favor the passage OF a
law by congress, providing that
all goods woven from wool, cotton,
silk, and the like, and the manu-
facturers of them, be requested to
be labeled with a tag stating in
plain terms the per cent of each
material used, and the name of the
manufacturer.
That we favor the passage by
Congress of the Grout Bill, look
ing to the taxation Of all goods
made in the imitation of butter.
That we insist that the County
Commissioner take up the matter
Of the speedy and permanent i'm
provement of our highways, and
recommend to the people Of our
county the best and most feasible
plan for the accomplishment of
that object.
That the County Auditor be re-
quested to bring to the attention
of the assessors, the duty and
necessity of looking more carefully
to the listing of dogs for taxation.
That inasmuch as it has been
deemed wise by Almighty God to
remove from our midst the follow
ing earnest and efficient friends to
the cause of Agriculture, viz: W.
N. England, j. A. Shaw, Wilford
Stiers, H. S. Adcock, Abel Carpen-
ter, Ed. S. Matthias, Carl Wolfe,
and G. w. Glove. The first three
of whom served us in the capacity
of President, and all being impor-
tant promoters OF our early Insti-
tutes; That we hereby express
our deep sense of our loss, and in
token of our reverence to their
memory that we each and all rise
to our feet in devotion to the Su-
preme Ruler of our Land.
That copy of these Resolutions
be sent to the representatives of
our state and national Legislators !;
to the County Commissioners !;

EXPENSIVE PROSPERITY.
How the Trusts Profit mt the Cost OF
the Wage Farmers.

How the Trusts Profit mt the Cost OF
the Wage Farmers.
Census bulletins for the manufac-
lures OF twenty-four territories, agri-
cultural states and four small manu-
featuring states - Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New Hampshire and Delaware
show in ten years an increase of 62
per cent in capital invested and 81 per
cent In the value of output, of 81 per
cent In the number of wage earners
and 33 per cent In the amount OF
wages. =.
According to the census reports, then,
actual or nominal wages have declined
about 8 per. cent during the last ten
years and this In spite of the fact that
we are now supposed to be In the midst
Of great prosperity. Undoubtedly 1t Is
true that there is great prosperity for
certain tariff protected trusts or for
trusts buttressed by other special priv
ileges.
The billion dollar steel trust is said
to have made sufficient net profits DUR
ing the tirst nine months of Its exist
eIce to pay its ixed charges and divi-
dends for the year 1902. Over $73,O0O,-
OOC Is required for this purpose. At
least half Of this amount is tariff taxes
filched from Americans pockets and
turned into the treasury Of this great
and greedy giant. This and many 9th
er trusts have put up the prices of
many Of the most important articles OF
consumption so that 1t probably costs
20 per cent more to live now than 1t
did ten years ago. Add this to the
loss in nominal wages. and we get an
idea Of the great cost to ordinary wage
earners OF tariff trust prosperity. How
much longer can they stand this sort
OF prosperity. or rather, how much
longer will they stand it2

The advocates of subsidies to Amer
lean shipping urge as their strongest
claim ON the bounty Of government
that the cost of building ship IL
much greater in America than In Eng
land or Germany. The United States
commissioner of navigation, Mr.. Cham

B. N. Baker. president Of the Atlantic
Transport company, on this point. Mr..
Baker claims that his company has a
contract at present for two ships with
Messrs. Harland & Wolff of Belfast
of exactly the same size. dimensions
and all particulars as two ships they
have contracted for with the New York
Shipbuilding company. Mr., Baker says
that the English built ships will cost
about $1,419,120 each; the American
built ships will cost little over ST.

Mr.. Chamberlain takes Mr.. Bakers
statement on faith and thinks to prove

If these figures were true, it would not
follow that the government should pay

mere statement by Mr.. Baker to con-

can. Our yards have already turned
out several warships for foreign ma

SUGAR GIANTS AT WAR.
When Trusts Fall Ont, the People
Have a Chance.

When Trusts Fall Ont, the People
Have n Chance.
Cuba is indeed an unfortunate is
land. 1t has survived its forty years
of warfare with Spanish tax tyrants
only to fall into the clutches of two
great trusts-the beet sugar and the
sugar refining trusts. With one of
these pulling for free trade and the
other for higher tariff duties on sugar
brought to the United States the island
is likely to be further elongated even
if it's tax wars are not renewed.
Although H. o. Havemeyer, the head
of the sugar refining trust has hereto
fore stood firmly for high tariff duties
and dear sugar and has pocketed tens
of millions of tariff trust dollars, yet,
now that he fears that continued pro-
lection will turn more dollars into the
pockets of the beet sugar people than
into his own, If indeed it will not soon
drive him out of business, he turns
traitor on his tariff protected class and
begins to talk of the tariff as the moth
er of trusts and to sing the blessings of
free and cheap sugar. Sugar, he tells
us, is most excellent food and should
be made as cheap as possible. Under
free trade great quantities Of it would
be used in the canning, preserving and
other industries which would soon
grow up. The people with cheaper
and more wholesome food would soon
become healthier. He paints q fine
picture for us. But why didn he paint
it sooner?
The beet sugar barons who have been
nursed on protection pap for ten years
may now be too strong for Mr.. Have
meyer, who is trying to pull the bottle
from their capacious mouths. II am
confident" says Mr. 0xnard, president
of the Beet Sugar association, that
congress, backed up by the sentiment
of the American people, will never al
low Mr.. Havemeyer to say what shall
be done regarding the tariff on sugar" !"
Although Mr.. Oxnard asserted in an
official statement in 1899 that the beet
sugar industry had nothing to fear
from free trade in sugar with Cuba
and the rest of the world and present
ed statistics to show that they could
i make a profit of So ton under free
sugar, yet he now heads a big delega-
ton of well dressed beggars who are
asking the president and congress to
continue the present high duties on
sugar that the beet sugar infant may
live and flourish even If the whole
Cuban nation should perish and our
American people should starve when
good, wholesome food is at our door.
Let the fight between the sugar
| giant infants go on. "When thieves
fall out, honest men may have q

Planting Fruit Trees.

IA Paper by Mr.. Hall at the Farmers
Instituted
When we desire to plant fruit
trees, the first thing to be done is
to select suitable site for our
orchard. We know that many
farms do not have the best site for
an orchard, and we might say
right here, that it is not worth our
while to plant peach orchard,
unless we have considerably
elevated site. 1t is a noticeable
fact that a peach orchard in low
ground fails year after year to
have crop; if it does have crop
it is mostly inferior in quality,
being destitute of the blush that
characterizes the peach grown on
the hilltop, and often being scabby
on one side.
1t is not so particular about an
apple orchard, as it will do fairly
well at any elevation. Well, the
site being chosen, we will proceed
to prepare the ground by manure
ing-if it needs it-and deep
plowing, subsoiling, if possible
Next we will pulverize the ground
with the best harrows we can af-
ford.
If we have selected the orchard
site in a sod field, the disc har-
row should be used first, if we
have one; after this the tooth har-
row may be used.
Now we will proceed to mark of
or lay out the ground. This may
be done with horse and single
shovel plow, by setting stakes
where we want the first row, run.
ming the furrow with the stakes,
and again setting our steaks where
we want the second row. If We
are planting an apple orchard, We
would set the second row of stake,
about 32 feet from first row, ant
then cross-mark in same manner
We will now dig the holes for the
trees at the crossings of the fur,
rows. If the ground is compact
clay soil, it wonld be well to dig
large holes, say p to 8 feet square
and nearly as deep. Fill the holes
up to about the depth we desire tC
