In Hopes.

Although Senator MoCumber did
not get an appropriation for the In
dian appropriation bill this session,
his opposition to the agreement to the
conference report on that measure
won for him a victory that will insure
anaappropriation of 100000. for it in
the next years bill. When the senate
and house eonferees found that Sena-
tor McCumber was in earnest in his
opposition to the approval Of the bill
there were several hurried confer
ences between them, and finally a
proposition was submitted to the
North Dakotan that if he would with
draw his opposition to this bill, the
school would be provided for next
year. ~ ~ 49,

A. Queer Move.ss.

A Ward county homesteader had a
peculiar experience a while back. !, Aft
ter he had retired for the night his
shack was lifted bodily, on sleighs and
hauled about IA miles, where it was
planted on some other body's home-
stead. The shock of setting the house
on the ground aroused the man and
he soon appeared at the door armed
with arevolver, where he met the sur
prised* thieves-and made them haul
him and his house back home. and
pay $25 for the fun they had had. p y

forced him to commit the murder,
but the evidence did not go to prove
his assertion. Ross was present and
gave evidence.

Young Montpelier Doctor Forged
Note Endorsements.

Montpelier, Dec. 90 DR. w. r.
Harkness, who pleaded guilty Decem-
Der % to the crime offorgery, received
his sentence in Washington county
court today his bondsman, Frank NJ.
Bryan. having surrendered him. w.
A. Lord spoke just few words in be-
half of the prisoner and Doctor Hsrk-
ness was sentenced to pay fine of 81
and the costs Of the prosecution and to
serve not less than five nor more than
six years at hard labor In state prison.
DR. Hardness was up to the time of
his arrest one of the leading young
physicians of Montpelier land was city

means and raised money at two local
banks by forging Endorsements to notes.
0Dr Marcello Hutchinson, superinten
dent Of the state hospital for the in
sane at Waterbury, has seLt notice to
Richard A. Hoar, of Barre, who was
assigned by the court to represent the
State in the murder trial OF State
against Bartholomew Croto. that Cro-
to is insane, and probably was in
that condition when he shot Peter Vor-
ron at East Montpelier September I.
The case against Croto was to have
been tried at the September term of
Washington county court but as the
defence was insanity the State wished
to take no chances in the matter,
and at the request of the states attor-
ney, Croto two months ago, was com
mitted to the asylum for observation
and last week the case was continued
until the March term.
1t is probable that the case will
never be tried and that Croto will be
kent in confinement in the criminal
ward at the state asylum at Water
bury.

Watering Plauts.

Watering Is an exacting labor. and
yet half of IL Is usually unnecessary.
The reasons why II Is unnecessary are
two-the soil Is 80 shallowly prepared
that the roots do not strike deep
enough: we waste the moisture by al
lowing the soil TO become hard. thereby
setting up capillary connection with
the atmosphere and letting the water
escape.
See how moist the soil is I'm spring.
Mulch IL so that the moisture will not
evaporate. Mulch II with a garden
rake. by keeping the soil loose and dry
on top. This loose. dry soil is the
mulch. There will be the moisture
underneath. Save water rather than
add it. Then when you do have to
water the plants 20 at II as IL you
meant II. Do not dribble. Wet the
soil clear through. Wet II Mt dusk or
In cloudy weather. Before the hot sun
strikes il renew your mulch or supply
a mulch of fine litter. More plants are
spoiled by sprinkling than by drought.
Bear in mind that watering is only a
special practice: the general practice Is
to so fit and maintain the ground that
the plants will not need watering
