Il you were Mr.. Van Horne. have
known Mr.. Van Horne for many

fathers house, and when father dis

quented by vulgar detectives, and
they have driven me nearly frantic.
One would think, from the questions
they ask, and the things they do,
that I was suspected of being
party to my fathers disappearance.
And our well-meaning friends are
almost as bad. They smother me
with their sympathy. I am not look
ing for sympathy. I wish to find my
dear father, and I have not the
slightest confidence in the detectives,
or in the methods which they have
adopted"
She paused for moment as If to
consider how she should frame the
request she had to make. Mr.. Chal-
mers was deeply attentive.
II am great believer in the pos
sibilities of such newspaper as the
New York Record" she said. II think
that one good newspaper man is
worth a dozen detectives. I do not
believe the detectives will ever To-
cate the men who have abducted my
father-for it certainly is a case of
abduction. I wish to place sum of
money in the keeping of the New
York Record, a part of it to be Of
fered by it as public reward for
the return ot the men who have been
kidnapped, and the other portion to
be used under your personal direc-

Minnesota has long been known
ct the Bread and Butter State, F"
and the products of her fields, her

at nearly S11 100000. The indus
try supports $4,000 families. The
value is moro than that of the total
OF the barley and corn crops, double
that OF the potato crop, and the in.
dustry affords employment to more
than any other in the state.
According to the census, increase
in the dairy products Of Minnesota
from 1890 to 1900 was more than
300 per cent. From 1895 to 1901
the increase in the product Of the
dairy was l25 per cent, q notable
advance in Eve years.

New creameries are being establish

week, and if this rate continues
during the year, il is estimated that
that the total revenues will be in

year.

ERNMMNT ENCOURAGING
 CULTURE OF FLOWERS

CULTURE OF FLOWERS.
 The Washington Times of Sunday has q long article bearing on how the Govern ment is encouraging the culture of flow CTS. Professor Galloway of the United States Department of Agriculture" says The Times, "has given considerable at- tention as to how best promote the study of horticulture in the public schools throughout the country. This Is no brain fantasy or desire for something new. but the outgrowth of a healthy public senti- ment asking that something in this line be done. How to undertake the work on large scale is a problem that presents some serious aspects, as there are few orecedents to follow in laying out a plan f work
 Professor Galloway, however, realized hat an experiment was necessary to as- ertain what could be done, and in order o get definite information on the matter le has accordingly placed facilities for he studying of the elementary principles f how plants are propagated and grown before the young women of the Washing. ton Normal School. In the short time that has elapsed the results are very en- couraging and the success of the plan is assured"
 The rest of the article is very interest ing. It tells of the fact that studies in horticulture for women have lately, be- come prominent features in some of the centers of the United States, brought about by the demand for teachers possess ing 6 knowledge of horticulture.
 Leading educators are endorsing this move, seeing the advantage of such e course of study. Through Professor Gal loway. continues the article, a plot of of ground l50 feet square and green house have been secured for the use of the young ladies of the Normal School. During the winter they are to be in- structed in the common operations of plant propagation. such as making cut tings and placing them in sand to root; then potting them and taking general care of the young plants in the way oi watering. ventilating. and regulating the temperature. Very little time is neces- sary. and one of the young ladies is dele gated each day to give them the little attention they may require.
 Attention is called to the fact that fl has only been during the present genera ton that popular interest in nature study so-called, has been evinced by the pa- irons of the public school, and to the fact that one scarcely picks up a magazine nowadays but that some article on a hor- ticuitural topic is met with. Country residences are growing more popular than ever before, and the American people are just waking up to the beauty and en- chantment which country life affords The garden in~EngIanu-ia the pride oi the people, from the richest landlord to the humblest cottager.
 This is good move on the part of our Government.

City of Mobile Went Down River
 Last Night.
 . The steamer City of Mobile reached Montgomery Sunday night and left last night.
 For the frst time In many months smiles are playing about the counte- nanoea of steamboat men. The recent rains have caused more water to be in the Alabama River than has been the case for some time. In fact the river Is just about flush with its banks, and the old cry of three feet of water IS now a thing of the past. The packet City of Mobile touched as tha local wharf about ' o'clock Sunday night, tied up that night and yesterday and left for Selma, Mobile and way landings last night
 This puts the packet on her regular achadule again and her owners hope that she will reach Montgomery as usual every Tuesday hereafter.
