apparent. The farmer would learn, to
market his product, to receive double
the amount he now gets and the con-
samers would find what he is always
looking to find, the big red ones, and
for which he is always willing to pay
a good price.

February horticultural Meeting.

The Allen county horticultural So
ciety meeting in the G. A. r.. hall Feb.
IA passed off very pleasantly with a
bountiful dinner followed by interest
ing discussions along horticultural
lines. Mr.. b. f. Fancoast read q
paper on the Ben Davis apple. In the
discussion of the effect of the cold on
fruit buds Mr.. Pancoast said, that
owing to the severe drouth of last
summer large portion of the buds
failed to sufficiently mature to make
fruit buds, but what did are all right
now. Mr.. L. ID. Buck said there are
enough live peach buds to make
good crop of peaches if nothing hap
pens to them later on. Mr.. A. L.
Harmon had on exhibition two seed
ling geraniumns that, he requested the
society to name. The variety marked
No. 6, a very large single scarlet with
white leye, was named Superba.
The one marked No. 10, dark pink
with a white blotch on the two upper
petals was given the name of lola.
The last named variety is almost iden-
tical to Queen Olgo in color. The
blooms on lola are one-half larger
than Queen Olga. A great many grape
vines are reported killed to the ground.
At the next meeting in the G. A. II
hall March Ii the society will be
favored with papers from d. b. d.
Smeltzer, j. b. Fergus and a. L.
Harmon on the following subjects

The Kansas City Journal had
clever cartoon recently from the
pen of Albert T. Reid. 1t showed
Uncle Sam looking through his art
gallery. On the the left OF the wall
was picture of Washington, facing
to the left. At the right of this picture
was picture of the world, showing
an American flag on everyone of our

Washington would look around and

G. w. Townsend was up from Horse

be cleared of underbrush and seats
put in, making it an attractive place
for picnics. A base ball park bowl

will be arranged and Mr.. Crouch be-
lieves he will have a place that will
prove very popular this summer. The
river runs along the west side of the
track, and as it is navigable for five
or six miles, boating will probably
become one of the chief amusements
of lola people.

the District of Columbia Spanish War

testing against the apparently non

in any war in which the United States was
engaged should nave the preference in the
matter of employment in the permanent bu-
reau.
The resolution of protest was worded as
follows: I'VE, the members of j. f. Willard

by protest against such action, and we ask
for an immediate investigation by the Dis
trict Corps Spanish War Veterans toward

to said law

SUIT TO ANNUL DEEDS
Proceedings Involving Real Estate
Valued at S22 900.

Proceedings in equity have been instituted
by Mary c. Weinberg and Adam Weinberg.
through their solicitors Strasburger &
Dammann, against Annie B. Port and 9TH
ers for the purpose of setting aside certain
deeds of conveyance of real estate in this
city of the value of So, 600
1t is claimed that one John Port, the
father of Mrs. Weinberg, shortly before his
death executed deed of the property in
question to a trustee for the benefit of his
wife, and that he was induced to do so
through the undue influence of Annie B.
Port. 1t is alleged that at the time of the
execution of the deed Mr.. Port was seventy
six years of age, and for a number of years
had been so feeble and infirm that he was
unable to understand and appreciate the
character of the deed presented to him by
Mrs. Port, who his third wife. The
compliments claim that by the will exc
cuted by Mr.. Port they We're literally pro-
vlded for, but that by virtue of the deed
there remained a balance of but $24 to the
credit of the estate after all expenses had
been paid.
The court is asked to pass a decree de-
claring the deed null and void, and that
pending the hearing of the cause the de-
PENDANTS be restrained from disposing of
the property.

Suggestion Approved.

A complaint was recently referred to the
inspector of plumbing in relation to alleged
insanitary plumbing at premises 11O2 New
Hampshire avenue. As the owner Of the
property could not be located. a notice
was sent to the agents to make necessary
repairs The agents requested that the
notice be withdrawn or the time be ex-
tended until the heirs of the property could
be reached. The Engineer Commissioner
has approved a suggestion of the inspector
of plumbing that in view of the fact that
there is no law to compel the agents to
take action in the matter. their attention
be called to the great urgency for action
and advised that il is not deemed advisa-
bic to withdraw the notice, but that the
time will be extended sufficiently long to
permit the agents to communicate with
the heirs for the purpose of receiving nee
essary instructions.
