The planting ot a Tree

Wculdst thou upbuild home where sweet
wild lives are nestcd,
Glad with the sound of song. quick with
the flash of wing;
Where the soft broods may rock, warm
housed and unmolested
Deep in the leafy hooks. through all the
changeful springs?
Or wouldst thou rear an arch of noblest
grace and splendor,
Lifted in air and light. shaped by the
sun and storm.
Moved by the wandering wing. swayed by
each influence tender.
Yet by the hand Of life nodded to stead
fast form?
Wouldst thou make day more fair and
night more rich and holy,
Winter more keenly bright and sum-
mer's self more dear;
Grant the sweet earth a gift, deep rooted
ripening slowly,
Add to the sum of joys that bless the
rounded year?
Go. then, and plant tree. lovely In sun
and shadow,
Gracious In every kind-maple and oak
and pine.
Peace of the forest glade. wealth of the
fruitful meadow.
Blessings of dew and shade hereafter
shall be thine!
For. thcuyi. thou never sec the joy thy
hand hath granted.
Those who shall follow: thee thy gener.
GUS boon may share
Thou shalt be natures child, who her besi
fruit hath planted.
And each of many spring shaii INC
thy gift more fair.

SUIT AGAINST MILWAUKEE.
Government Wants Title to Lands
Cleared,

government wants tltle TO IdnOS
Cleared.
Dubuque. Ia, June 4.-Suit has been
commenced in the United States court
by Attorney General Knox against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
for the possession of 5000 acres of land
in the northwestern part of the state
which is along the line of the road. The
company received this land in 1854, ac-
cording to an act of congress The Pc
tition filed in the courts yesterday,
however, states that the grant was err
roneously made in that the proper
government officials did not sign the
deed. and therefore the land does not
properly belong to the company. This
happened years ago, and the company
since that time has sold the land or
disposed of it in various manners. so
that they now own little or none of it.
Assistant General States Attorney
Crane this morning when he filed the
suit said that the land was worth pro-
badly in the neighborhood of $4,000,
and that the company had long since
lost control of 1t. 1t is in various coun-
ties along the line, and large amount
of it was what was then known as
swamp land. The case will come up
for trial at the next term of the United
States court at Sioux City

first year that there has been Sunday
baseball in Clinton, and even games

would vote. Mr.. Way had the band play

the voters from the country were eat

CLAIMS $40 COWS.
Action Begun In Cedar Rapids Court
to Recover Mixers.

Action Begun In Cedar Rapids Court
to Recover Mixers.
Cedar Rapids, June "a big law
suit has been commenced In the Federal
court involving the title. of $40 cows
most Of which are said to be rented
by their owner to farmers in Johnson
county, who pay from six dollars to
seven dollars year rent for them.
Their owner is said to have traded them
flor 500 in cash and 81 acres of land
hin Missouri and the, party who bought
them says that the other man backed
out and refused to deliver the mixers
when the time came.
Francis Kane is plaintiff in the suit
and the defendant, from whom, he says,
| he bought the COWS, by oral contract,
| is Frank Luckman resident of lll-
nois. The plaintiff said that he bought
the cows on the terms named above:
that he gave his check for 500 and Of
| fered the 357 acres of land at $50 an
acre for the remainder. The cows We're
valued at $25 each. The plaintiff
states that the defendant said he did
not want to see the land in Missouri.
He simply wanted the plaintiff to tell
him truly what he had paid for the
lland. This was done. The petition was
first filed in the district court of john
son county and the petitioner asked
| that on the final hearing he be granted
a decree of specific performance con-
veying and quieting the title in him to
all the said COWS.
The defendant made no move in the
case until Judge Byington of Iowa city,
| had allowed two temporary Writs OF
| Injunction. The first restrained him
from longer withholding the names of
the farmers to whom he had rented the
COWS: in other words, compelled him
to give the plaintiff list OF farmers
who were leasing the cows. After this
had been done the defendant petltioned
that the case be transferred to the Uni
ted States district court, Northern DIS
trict of Iowa. The case VIII according
ly come up at the September term.

EXPERIMENT WITH COTTON.
Mr.. Smith also exhibited to the Board
of Agriculture samples of fine Egyptian
cotton and ordinary upland cotton which
he had raised at the experiment sta
ton. He stated that as far as he
could see the Egyptian cotton was as
good a staple as could be raised in
Egypt. He had sent samples of both
varieties to Washington, but no report
had been received upon them. The cot
ton had been planted in March and was
matured in the middle of August of the
same year Mr.. Smith thought that
the Egyptian cotton. which at pres
ent is raised only in Egypt, could be
successfully grown in Hawaii. He said
also that it was worth twice as much
as the ordinary cotton, bringing from
fifteen to thirty cents per pound. The
special value is due to the fact that
the Egyptian cotton is of twisted fibre
and can be mixed with silk. which
cannot be done with the ordinary cot
ton.
TALK OF FORESTRY.
There was some discussion also of
forest trees. Mr.. Thurston stated that
Mr.. Giffard had suggested that Florida
pine could be made to grow here and
would make good timber trees. Mr..
Smith favored the idea and said he
would send to Washington for seeds.
Mr.. Thurston also told of some of his
observations on Maui, saying that on
the Won Tempsky place Monterey
cypress trees were growing well at an
elevation of 1000 to 5000 feet. Mr..
Smith did not believe the cypress made
good timber as it grew only to height
of thirty-five feet or forty feet.
