ILunatlC on a RampaAe.

Saturday night and Sunday morning
Herman Wobbermin, who lives about
three miles east OF the bridge on the
south side Of the river, caused consider.
able excitement in thtt neighborhood.
A week ago last Saturday his brother
Julius, who has been in the asylum,
started out on foot, announcing that he
was going to St. Louis. Nothing has
been heard from him, and IL it supposed
he has become demented and Is wan.
dering owe the the country.
1t is supposed that the absence Of his
brother unbalanced Herman's mind,
and all Saturday night Herman kept up
q continuous bombardment Of the atmos.
phere and made night hideous. Sun.
day morning he started out in starch
Of his brother, armed with two 3S.cali.
Der revolvers. lie had not proceeded
very far when he met "Col." A. y. Wig.
gins, whom he stopped and asked
where his brother Julius was, threat.
eniDg to Nil HIM IL he did not tell.
Virgins drove to the home of Bird
Johnson, where he delivered some
meat, and Wobbermin cut across the
field and met him there, where he again
threatened TO kill Virgins il he did not
tell where his brother was. Virgins
paciied Wobbermin by telling hun he
would 60 in search OF his brother as
soon as he had some breakfast, and
w Obbemin went bone.
Sheriff Macarthur was notified and in
company with Deputy Sam Foe and
Thad Saunders started out to round up
the denented man. When they we're
within about half q mile OF Wobbermin's
home they met him on the road. The
sheriff stopped and shook hands with
Wobb' rmiD, and ate mpted to retain
his grip on him. Wobbermin broke
loose and star ed to draw a revolver
which he was carrying on his left side
attached to a string. Saunders had
dismounted from the carriage. and
when WObbermin attempted to draw
bis revolver he grabbed him from
behind and disarmed him. Wobbermiu
had another revolver in his inside coat
pocket and attempted to draw that but
Saunders and Foe succeeded in captur. |
ing the gun.
10 add to the excitement the sheriff.
team ran away and did not stop until
they reached Wobbermin's place, where
they ran into a moving machine and
upset the carriage, slightly damaging
the top.
Wobbermin was landed 10 the county
Jail about noon on Sunday, and on
Monday morning at 8 o'clock he was
taken before the insanity board for
trial. After IA brief hearing he was al.
judged insane. and Sheriff Macarthur
and Deputy Foe took him to the asylum
at Lincoln on Monday.
Sunday evening Sheriff McArthnr
aud his two sons went out to Wobber
Minis place, and found a loaded double
barrel shotgun sitting beside his bed.
He evidently mean business.

Trade Report.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Interruptions Of industrial progress
by the holiday, labor conflicts and in
clement weather again produced a
somewhat unsatisfactory trade situa-
ton. Yet the money market is easy
and accommodation readily obtained
in legitimate business channels. Liza
bilities Of mercantile failures are COM
paratively small, indicating that most
concerns have prepared for a quiet
season and are able to withstand a
period of diminished sales and tardy
payments. This conservative attitude
is the fundamentally strong feature of
the situation, and when business re-
wives there will be no pressure to dis
pose of heavy stocks of undesirable
goods. More manufacturing plants
have reduced hours or wages, and sew
eral strikes have added to the army
of unemployed.
Commercial failures in the United
States were 230.

THE sUcCOTH CARPENTER.
An Odd Character of the Jewish Quar-
ter in Great Cities.

ter in Great Cities.
The oldest industry in the metropo-
lis is that of a succoth carpenter, who
finds employment one week of the year
In the Ghetto among the orthodox
Jews. His work is done in the fort
night which precedes the Feast of the
Tabernacles and consists in building
odd little booths known as succoths in
the back yards of the tenement-houses
The feast of the tabernacles. is sup
posed to commemorate the time during
which the children of Israel wandered
In the wilderness, and probably also
their sojourn in the land of Egypt
During this period they lived more or
less in the open. which fact is symbol
else a covering of evergreens and bull
rushes. According to another school,
the booths represent the time when
the Israelites came in such numbers
that they were unable to get into the
temple, and so built temporary shelters
around the sacred edifice.
The succoth should be boxlike in
shape, not less than six feet in height
six feet long, and four feet wide. II
should be made of the cheapest and
himsiest building material to indicate
what it represents. Some of the build
ers take pride in making the structures
as ramshackle as possible. Others use
the poorest materials. but saw and fiji
them with so much skill that the fin
ished succoth is neat and attractive
There is but little commercial element
in the industry. The employer sup
plies the wood or the builder sells il
to him at cost while for the work OF
setting it up his price is nearly always
90 cents. Charitable Hebrews viii

TEXAS SUITABLE FOR DATES
Opinion of Syrian on the Growth of
the Palm in America.

Opinion of a Syrian on the Growth of
the Palm in America.
According to views entertained by
Josef Hahmet, a Syrian who has set
tied near Waco, the northwestern
counties Of Texas are exactly suited In
all respects for the production of the
date palm and would afford settlers of
that portion of the Lone Star State an
unfailing source of revenue, writes the
Dallas News.
Mr.. Hahmet said: "The date palm
should be grown far enough from the
ocean to insure it from humid breezes
and give it hot, dry summers for the
ripening Of it's fruit. 1t wants plenty
of water, however, and no country is
better supplied with water underneath
and sunshine overhead than the west
ern and northwestern portion of Tex
as. 1t would not be new to the Uni
ted States, for Arizona and California
are producing dates successfully. In
New Mexico date palm offshoots were
planted this year extensively. So far
as l am able to learn no one, other
than florists, have introduced that val
liable plant into this State, so that he
who attempts it here will earn the
credit of adding another crop to the
productions of his State.
"Once established, a date palm or
chard lasts for centuries, and when
planted where nitrogen and phosphates
are abundant, provided there are
water and hot sun, an abundant yield
is certain. Water can be obtained in
any of the counties west and north
west of Cisco at depths varying from
thirty-five to fifty feet. The soil is re-
tentive and entertainments are all that
are needed for reservoirs, with Just
enough excavation to get the material
for the entertainments. One average
tree should yield 200 pounds of fruit
annually after attaining an age of
eight years. High grade trees will ex-
coed the average given perhaps JOG
per cent. The best palm orchards are
planted forty feet between the rows
and thirty-five feet apart; any other
fruit or any crop can be successfully
| grown between the palm trees. One
acre of date palms, together with other
crops that can be grown on the same
space at the same time, will support q
family. In Africa and in Asia date
palms occupy pasture lands and are
not hurt by the cattle, sheep or cam
els. After date palm orchard is es
tablished it is hard to injure it by any
process. Date palm trees are beauti
full, and they improve the health OF
those who reside near them"
