COUNTY MOVES PLANT.
Store House for Distribution Of Sup

The county distributing plant, In
charge of Overseer of the Poor Penn

present quarters in the Masonic block

formerly occupied by the Marshalitown
Cornice Works. Mr.. Pemberton Will
have his office located here, and all
supplies for the poor will be distributed
from this point. The county's plan OF
furnishing the supplies itself is prov
ing very satisfactory, and during the
past two months saving of $46 has
been recorded. Most OF the charges of
the county are able to report in per.
son for their supplies, and by furnish
ing them itself the county can save the
retailers profit. There is no objection
on the part of the merchant, either,
for the county contract is necessarily
taken at such low figure that there
is scarcely any profit. The emergency
hospital which the county has been
maintaining in the Masonic block un-
til the new public hospital IS ready. will
also be located In the South First
street building,

ADJUSTMENTS.
FLoRoDoRA

The pretty maidens, gentle strangers,
perfume proprietors. sham scientist,
PHILIPPINE beauty, plebes and lords of
"Floro dora, +" will romp over the boards
OF the Grand tonight for the first time
in this city, and ito the enjoyment of
probalY one of the largest audiences
the seasons engagements Will bring
together. Of course, with such de-
lightful music as "Florodora" possesses,
its success is not to be wondered at.
The first scene is laid in an island in the
PHILIPPINES. The name of the island is
"Floredora,' and it is here the plot be-
gins and is carried in the second act to
castle exterior and ball room in Wales.
It's lines are witty, but its incidents
contain enough interest to be enjoyed
by everybody. Among the tuneful airs
that will be heard, and which are very
catchy, are "Under the Shade of the
Palms," "Tact,'' ''Tell Me, Pretty
Maiden" tive an Inkling,' IT want to
be Military Man, :" "Queen of the Philip
pines, When / Leave Town. etc. A
special orchestra of nine pieces is car
rried by the company.
"DICE OF DEATH"
The attraction, "Dice of Death
at the Grand Friday night is one of
those thoroughly entertaining comedy
dramas commanding the interests of
the people of all social grades. The
story of the play is founded on certain
phases of everyday life that touch the
heart strings and call largely on the
pathos of our natures. The play
througOut abounds in strong and telling
situations, which are heightened by
realistic scenery and thrilling clImaxes.
The language is excellent aud construct
ed considerably above the regular order
of melo-dramas.
''THE HEART OF MARYLAND"
David Belasco's military love
drama. 1.-The Heart of Maryland" the
most effective and brilliant of the many
successful plays he has brought forward,
will be presented at the Grand on next
Monday, March 80.
The engagement of this attraction
will it is safe to predict, be greeted by
equally as large audiences as those
which witnessed with enthusiastic ap-
plause its first production in this city.
No more finished and Accordingly in
teresting play. nor one more thoroughly
AmeTicansin its story, characters, senti-
ment and action has been presented for
many seasons 1t is a play that appeals
to all the nobler qualities of the heart,
in its portrayal or the heroism of Mary
land Calvert in her struggle to save her
lovers life, even at the risk of her own.
The character of the love-inspired
Southern girl. Mqrylsnd Calvert, is said
to have an e. i've representative in
Miss Alma KlG,-r who was the origi-
nal successor o: Mrs. Leslie Garter in

Crops on Arid Lands.

A letter from Washington, D. c.,
says that arid-land crop conditions in
Montana, heretofore unknown to the
department of agriculture, were dis
covered in a tour of inspection which
Elwood Mead, in charge of the irriga-
ton work of the department, has just
completed. Mr.. Mead found much
larger areas of arid land there with
crops in successful growth on them
than he had ever supposed were pos
sible. In a majority of seasons, crops
can grow on these tracts without any
irrigation and with very little water,
much less than is usually required for
growing crops. The area involved is
along the mountain slopes south and
west of Great Falls, Mont. The de-
nartment thinks this discovery i'm
portant, and cooperative work will be
begun. 1t is purposed to study the
means of saving and making available

Texas Loses Cotton.

Entomologist Malley of the Texas
agricultural college estimates a loss
of 100000 bales of cotton this season
as a result of ravages of boil weevils,
boil worms and other insect pests.
This is a straight loss to the farmers
of Texas of S21,250,000, based on Gal
weston prices for middlings, SAc., and
500 lbs. to the bale Prof. Malley
says that if the cotton planters of
Texas could be induced to apply all
that is known Of ways and means of
protecting the cotton crop from boil
worms, bell weevils, and several other
important insects rot yet given usual
attention, the same acreage culti-
waited would give Texas anywhere
from 100000 to 100000 bales an
nually, E. S. Peters, president Of
the Texal Cotton Growers Associa-
ton confirms Melley's estimate and
says that the damage will not be less
than from 100000 to 100000 bales.

Binder-TWine Outlook,

A letter from Topeka, Kan, quotes
Warden Jewett of the state peniten-
tiary, where binding-tw:ne is manu-
factu1ed, as saying that he docs not
look fer the price of Irvine to come
next year:
"Sisal was higher in July and August
than it has been heretofore in those
months for twenty years. Cash sisal
is now quoted in New York at about
91a cents, while last year we sold the
manufactured Irvine for 10 cents, and
the year before it was furnished to the
farmer foI 71a cents. Yucatan has re-
Gently put on export duty of half
cent pound gold, and this means an
advance in price. Then the produce
ton of sisal is not great enough for
the demand. Only a small part of
Yucatan can be utilized for growing
sisal owing to lack Of labor. 1t was
the general supposition when the
United States acquired the Philippines
that this country would be well sup
piled with Manila hemp, but that has
not come about"

There was once a scene painter in

Russian Thistle Liked.

A Laramie (Wyo.) letter says that
Whitehouse & Palmer of the oxford
horse ranch at Red Buttes have men
blowing a field on the ranch which
they will SOW to the despised and out
lawed Russian thistle, with a view of
determining its availability as a for
age plant. Mr. Whitehouse says
small tract Of the ranch became acct
dentally seeded with the thistle, and
last July he turned on so cattle to the
acre, the cattle eating the weed to the
very roots and refusing to leave it for
grass. They will prepare the ground
and then seed it by threshing the seed
from the spreading bush by beating it
with stick, the man walking across
the field carrying the bush. 1t is
thought the thistle will grow in ground
too barren to produce grass, and that
it will produce good fodder.

The Ontario chronological Society
held its annual meeting at London re-
Gently. The chief subject of discussion
was the lavages of the pea weevil,
which DR.. Fletcher, dominion entomol-
ogist, said was causing a loss of four
to six millions Of dollars to Ontario
farmers. From this cause the
acreage of peas in the province had
decreased 10000 acres, or one-third of
the total. An effective method of
treating the weevil was to apply car
bon bisulphide to the seed peas. A
resolution was adopted urging that
the subject be taken up at farmers
institute meetings. Another congrat-
ulated the minister of agriculture, on
the measures adopted to exterminate
the San Jose scale.
