inc Cottonwood Tree.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The indiscriminate condemnation of
the cottonwood tree is to be depre-
Gated. Now is the time to sort your
cottonwood trees. They do not all
shed cotton and are a fine and useful
shade tree. The sexes are on differ
ent trees. The staminate bear pollen
only in its flowers and the blooms are
now out in plain sight. These should
be marked now and saved if possible.
The female, or pistilate tree, bears
seed and cotton; they are now out as
forward as the male, or staminate,
and if you must destroy any cotton
wood trees mark these for destruction
Look today at any row or clump of
cottonwood trees and you will see the
advanced condition of the buds and
bloom on the male or staminate; pull
a twig and pick the buds apart and
you will find nothing that looks like
cotton. Now notice the other trees,
they seem backward, they have a
harder and slower task to perform /;
they az the female, or pistiiate varie-
ties. Cut twigs and examine the buds
and you viii find rudimentary seeds
and cotton. Now don't try to remem-
Der which is which, but mark them
and keep the axe away from the root
Of the staminate cottonwood unless it
is in an Objectionable place. Cotton
wood trees give excellent shade and
are beautiful if they have room. If
do not risk any except they are grown
from cuttings of a known staminate
tree Here is a lesson in botany for
our youth Apply it today.

Secretary of Horticulture.

CAPTURED AT DE SOTO.
Men Suspected of Robbing Holiday
Depot.

Word was received at the Santa Fe
general offices today that two men
answering TO the description of the
men who robbed the Santa Fe depot
at Holiday Tuesday night. have been
captured near De Soto. Kas. The
night operator and yardmaster who
were in the depot at the time of the
robbery and the latter of whom had
his watch stolen. saw the men dis
tinctly and were able to furnish very
clear statements regarding their ap
pearance. The detection of the men
was therefore not very difficult. The
authorities think that there is no
doubt but what they have the right
men. They have not yet been iden-
titled by the operator and yardmast-
er. however.
According to the statements of the
night operator and yardmaster, both
of whom were in the operating room
when the men entered the depot, one
of the men was about feet and z
inches tall. weighed about $50 pounds
and had dark eyes. dark hair and a
weeks growth of beard. He wore a
dark coat light pants and a SLOUGH
hat. The other was about 5 feet and
II inches tan, weighed 175 pounds
and wore a broad brimmed hat.

The display is an attractive one as
whole. A good deal of artistic skill
was used in arranging the articles
that constitute the prizes. There is n
medley OF them, varying from syrup to
socks and from candy to umbrellas but
the arrangement is such that the COM
b1nation does not seem homogeneous.
The window presents a bright appear
ance. And it is one which will bear
closer inspection. When the articles
are looked at separately it is found
that they are each and all first class
goods. There are necktieS which any
body, no matter how fastidious he
might be, would be glad to wear. There
are ladies' belts which would become
the most fashionable waist There are
umbrellas which are the envy of near
~ everybody who sees them. In fact
there is something suited to erybOdy.
This is probably the reason the win
dow attracts so much attention. There
are articles in it for man, woman and
child. There are edibles and wearablcs.
There are flour and oranges and health
foods for the housewife and fancy
gloves and dress decorations for the
women who are interested more III
these things. All of these articles

she saw TAYLOR holding the door leading

GOV. CUMRlNS HINTS.
Intimates That the Side With tho
Sinew and Selfish Purpose Usually
Wins in Politics.

Chicago, May 26.-Rcpubl!can national
politics took on a scmbancc of life today,
when a group of politicians of national
fame appeared at the Auditorium Annex.
Chief among the visitors was Governor a.
b. Cummins of Iowa, whose name is asso-
ciated with the Iowa Idea" OF tariff re-
vision and reciprocity.
Governor CumninS was aVcrse to talk
ing about tariff revision, but he did not
hesitate to speak Of other items.
There is one thing that must not be
lost sight of in a fight Of this kind" he
said, land that is, there Is always one
side which manages to stay on top. That
is the side which has some direct object at
stake. This faction in politics works first
through one side and then the other in
each party and then through the parties
themselves. While at times 1t may seem
to be badly defeated, 1t Is not long before
1t is dining at the table of the victors.'
Governor Cummins did not express him
self more clearly on this point, but the
Inference was plain that he referred to the
interests which play politics for selfish
purposes only.
Speaking of the national ticket Governor
Cummins said:
ut may be news to know that Theodore
Roosevelt will be nominated for the pres
idency without opposition. AS to the vice
presidency, Iowa entertains a very high
opinion of Illinois candidate, Representa-
tive Robert r. Hit. as 1t does also Of
Senator Fairbanks Of Indiana. No active
work has been done in Mr.. Hits behalf,
but we like him immensely. Our real
choice for the place was Speaker Cannon.
but he put a damper on the proposal to
make him vice president. We expect to
carry Iowa for Roosevelt by fully 100000
| majority In off years carried the state
| twice by about $4,000. and the larger the
vote the heavier the republican majority
| In Iowa. We also expect to carry the one
| democratic district in congress now repre-
| sented by Judge Wade"
What is the significance Of the tariff
| plank In the Iowa platform as you see
| it?" was asked.
"The other fellows had majority of
| the convention replied the governor Il
| am a loyal party man and am bound by
| that platform. I do not care to discuss
| that question further"

MR.. BRYAN FOR SENATOR
Lincoln Man and Congressman
Burkett, Republican,.

Lincoln, Ncb., May 25-The candidacy
of William Jennings Bryan for the United
States senate has been announced In the
higher councils of the Nebraska dem
ocracy, and the leaders responsible for the
movement assert he has approved the sug-
gestion. Chairman Hall Of the state COM
mittce and T. S. Allen and James Mama
han are the principals In the Bryan sena-
torial propaganda.
The republicans took the lead last week
by nominating Congressman Elmer j..
Burkett of the First Nebraska district for
the upper house: but the nomination of
Bryan cannot take place until the demo-
cratic convention, which dominates a state
ticket, assemblies in August.
Bryan, 1t is expected, will make a thor
ough canvass of the state and his interest
in the result in Nebraska will probably
make him much less of a figure in the ma
tional campaign than has been generally
expected.
