FRUIT GROWING IN TANEY

chard II person can he benefited by the
experience Of others.
The bOrcrs do not bother pear or
peach trees and these trees are very
hardy and grow rapidly. In Christian
county, where the soil and conditions
for fruit raising are the same n here,
more fruit il grown by far than here.
u few years ago two men bought II
thousand dollars worth Of trees on time
and mortgagcd their farm TO my for
them. Their neighbors, who had ncv.
cr seen fruit raised on large scale,
thought they would lose their farm, or
have some other bad luck. They worked
away, made II living and took care Of
their trees. Aftcra few years the trees
bore fruit They took care of the trees,
and now the trees take care Of them.
Some years they have as much as two
thousand bushels Of peaches TO sell.
They haul them Ia Springfield, dis
,ancc Of thirty miles, and then make il
pay. In one season they sent Ia Mime
sofa over two hundred bushels Of pear,

SECOND
VICTIM OF THE WRECK AT HAIR.
PER CLAIMED BY DEATH AT
HOSPITAL TODAY.
Brakeman II. r. Weick Succumbs to
His Injuries After Nearly a Week
of Suffering-Eody to Be Taken to
Former Home at Falls City Neb.
Railroad Notes.

Brakeman II. +. Weick, who was in
early Sunday morning, when the west
bound train on the engine of which he
was riding crashed into the engine of
an e%ast-bound train, in which a fire
man was killed and the engineer had
his foot crushed, died at 2:45 this
morning, at the Home hospital, where
he had been under the care of ply
sicians since the accident. The body
was at once turned over to Undertaken
Stryfer, who prepared it for shipment
to his former home at Falls City, Neb.,
on the rain tonight.
When the accident first occurred it
was thought that Mr.. Weick, aside
from some EVE bruises and a ter
rible shaking up and strain on his ner-
vous system, had not been seriously in
jured, and it was believed he would
soon recover from the shock and re-
gain his health. This belief was shnr-
ed partially by DR.. Stevens, in whose
care the young man was, but the long
er he remained in the hospital the
alarming became his symptoms.
Yesterday afternoon the physician *
pressed the fear that Mr.. Weick was
quite badly injured internally and that
he would have trouble IN pulling
through. From that hour until the
time of his death the young man grad.
ually grew weaker, death coming at
the hour stated.
Mr.. Weick was born neal Fall City,
Neb., and was 81 years II months old
at the time of his death. He has two
brothers here today. one of them. Max
Weick, being a fireman on the eastern
district of the Union Pacific, the other,
Albert being an engine inspector at
Cheyenne. They were with their
brother when he died and will accom-
pany the remains to Nebraska tonight.
Their mother lives there. Mr.. Weick
came to the Union Pacific about ten
months ago and secured a position as
head brakeman for Conductor James
Cook. He vas riding in the engine of
his train at teh time Of the accident.

WHEAfLAND WILL TRY
CENTRAL SCHOOL PLAN.


Wheatland is preparing to become
the wyoming, if not western. pioneer
in the consolidation of school districts
and concentration at a given central
point, says George R. Caldwell in the
Denver Times.
The Wheatland school district con
tains twenty-five schools of which eight
are within a radius of six miles. and it
is proposed to concentrate all the pu-
pills of these eight districts at Wheat
land, thus giving the Wheatland school
ar enrolment of 200 or more.
A big modern school building is to
be erected. well graded. and will carry
an advanced high school course.
The outlying pupils will be trans
ferred to and from the school in cov
cred light wagons; would De comfort
ably housed durins school hours. and
would be provided with advantages
alike of educational scope, training and
discipline impossible to the country
district school house.
A careful calculation of the credit
and debit sides of the matter results
in the estimate that the proposed
Wheatland school consolidation would
mean a saving of at least 5000 per
month in school running expenses as
represented by the district school sys
tom now in use Or In other words
school consolidation means immeasur
ably better schooling at a less expen
diture alike of money, time and trou
