Prof. Spillmsn assured his hearers
that the department of agriculture
would be glad to give the farmers
any information desired upon any
subject with in it's work, and even in
vited the cooperation of the farmers
in carrying on the great work which
it has undertaken in improving the
mode of cultivation of plant life indi-

We would that more of our people
could have been present on this oc'

The promoters of the electric rail-
way project left for Columbia yes
terday morning with a $4,000
bond duly executed by a Northern
security company, but we learn that
on arriving there and consulting with
the. city friends of the project it was
concluded to be to the best interest
of the road to withhold the fling Of
the bond with the city clerk for the
present. It is thought that the re-
quirement forcing the company to
build free bridge to be onerous and
unfair to the company, in that such
a bridge would come in direct COM
petition with the traffic interest of
the line and would materially affect
it's revenues. Again the condition of
the franchise in this respect was
vague and indefinite, because the city
had given no clear idea as to the kind
of structure that would be acceptable
to it, therefore the company has here
,tofore been unable to make an esti-
mate of the cost of the bridge. The
failure to file the bond within the al
lo,ed time does not mean the death of
the project and we feel confident that
when council fully comprehends the
vast benefits accruing to the business
interest of the city, it will recede
from it's burdensome requirements
and remove the obstacle which is now
hampering the construction of IL g
road.

To the Editor OF TIE Dispatch:

Its with teart full of gratitude

paper to express our thanks to the
many little folks who 30 kindly re-
membered US on Monday after
Easter. The rabbits made their nest
in the United States boxes and our
hearts run over with joy just like
they did when We made the famous
rabbit nests with our own little
hands. There were eggs here and
eggs there and eggs everywhere, in
fact there were more eggs than there
are coons in the "White House.

It was our good pleasure last Sun

lor, one of Gods sweetest servants.
There is at least one statement in
the Bible that is not hard to believe
these days: "He sendeth his rain
on the just and unjust" Honesty is

heart and confess that he don't

Wednesday, April 10, 1903.

Prof. W. j. Spi Imam, agrostsiogiss
of the department. of agriculture at
Washington, and Prof j. S. New
man, Of Clemson College, made capi-
tai addressesto to about 100representa-
tive farmers in the court house last
Monday. The day was very unfavor-
able, coupled with the fact that the
farmers are very busy at this season
of the year, made the meeting much
smaller in point Of numbers than it
would have been had it been held
later in the season and under more
favorable conditions As it was, how
ever, they had good and attentive
audience.
Prof. Spillman's remarks can
properly be termed plain practical
talk to farmers with all technical
scientific terms omitted. The morn.
ing hours he spent in examining our
native grasses, noticeing particularly
their growth, their development and
the nature of the soil in which they
are growing. His talk wss illnstrat-
ed by maps, showing the different
regions in which the different grasses
would thrive and produce paying
crop.
He was of the opinion that more
attention should be given to poultry
raising and recommended that the
farmers de1ote more time to this
industry. It would be paying in
vestment. He siso recommended
that more attention. should be given
to the cultivation of garden truck,
such as lettuce, parsnips and like
vegetables, all of which were healthy
food for the body and very remunera-
tive as money crops.
His theme, however, was grasses
asd beef cattle. He recommended
three grades of cattle for beef, but
his choice was "the short horn and
butt-headed. These he said, were
the best beef cattle known They
distributed their fat at the places
where most needed-among the lean
thus making the choicest and most
desirable beef. He then touched
upon the grass and recommended the
Burmuds as the one best adapted to
cur climatic and soil conditions. He
then give an interesting and instruc-
tive lesson on it's growth and culture.
The seed, be said did not give salts
faction, as no stand from some cause
unknown to him, could be obtained
from them. He recommend that in
order to secure satisfactory results to
plant pieces of sod in rows like corn
and cover with very thin coating of
earth. THE Burmuda being child
of the South" loved sunshine and
when it was desired to get rid of it
to use the pasture for other purposes,
all that is necessary was to SOW the
land to some plant that would shut
out the sunshine and completely
shade it, such as grain, etc. The
Kentucky blue grass would not thrive
in this section as it was out CT it's
region. He had no use for the
Means or Johnstone grass on account
of the inability to get rid of it when
once it secured growth upon the
land, but admitted that it made a
number one hay.
He exto,led the virtues of the
COW pea, and advised their culture on
o more extensive system. He told of
the soils more adapted to their
growth, the best modes of culti7a-
tion, their harvesting and curing, all
of which was very instructive to
many of his hearers while there were
others who seemed to know more

IGNATIUS LOOKING FORWARD
Crusader of the DOnneIly Name Re-
verses the style in Complaint
Against sherman.

Ignatius Jehovah Dunn, modern crusader,
has taken a new tack In his effort to bring
the South omaha tiger trainers to time.
Formerly he has made complaint against
alleged offenses that we're past. Now he
is looking ahead or looking backward like
that other Ignatius. Or looking sideways.
For he has filed complaint in county court
charging tina Myron Sherman of South
Omaha set up and kept for gain certain
gambling fixtures on or about 'the gath
day OF April, 1907 which date Is, accord
ing TO most folks calendars, about two
weeks ahead.
sherifi Power will wonder II this is a re-
Election upon him. When Dunn was dep
uty county attorney in and for Douglas
county" he used to have the sheriff steal
ing forth with padded shoes and a false
beard every little bit to make a raid
Dunn would enjoin such mighty secrecy
that Power was afraid to blink In a dust
storm lest It be taken for a wink to the
gamblers. When he reached the rooms
specified he discovered almost invariably
that there was nothing doing and upon so
reporting Dunn would smile discreditine
smiles and ask why he didn't push open
oak doors two inches thick and perform
other remarkable feats.
The fact that the crusader now files a
paper dating the offense two weeks ahead
would seem to indicate a determination 10
be early enough. But the county Judge has
sent him word that that court doesn't feel
