MOTHER GOES BACK WITH son
immigration officials Break Up Family Of
Bohemians at Baltimore.
foUR-YEAR.oLD IS HELD TO Be AN IDIOT
Father, Mother and seven Children
Were Coming TO south Omaha, hut
only Father aud SIX children
Arrive Here.

An incident which recently transpired
at Baltimore, affecting family at present
residents in South Omaha, indicates the
very stringent character of tho United
States laws governing immigration Anton
Machal, a Bohemian, had family Of seven
children, the oldest of whom, a boy, has
been in this country for some time, en-
ployed at South Omaha. Last month the
remaining members Of the family-father,
mother and seven children-arrived at
Baltimore on the steamer Brandenburg.
The Youngest child. Franz. aged I. was not
allowed to land on the ground that he is
idiot. Because Of his tender age Mrs.
MaChal was also denied admittance to this
country, it being held that she is the
guardian OF the child. With her child she
was ordered deported back to the port
from whence she came. The rest OF the
family was permitted to land and are now
with friends in South Omaha, having ar
rived on Thursday.
Through the friends Of the Machals in
this city Edward Rosewater was interested
in the case and took 1t up with the immi-
grafton officials He presented to the de-
partment the claim Of the family that the
! child Franz is not an idiot but is only
deaf and dumb as the result OF an acct
dent by which his head was hurt when he
| was a baby

The child labor committee of the General
Federation OF women's Clubs has issued
the following communication to club
women:
My Dear Madam President; The child
labor committee would remind you of the
resolutions adopted at St Louis in regard
to our efforts to ameliorate the working
conditions for children
ITO concentrate upon the passage of laws
covering these points: a. That children
under the age of l6 years should not work
60 That children should not work who can
not read and write in the English language.
80 In states in which these two points are
adoption of the standard child labor law
IS recommended, including the newsboys'
law"
Please note the word effective" A law
which Is not enforced is worse than none,
if it causes the friends of the children to
cease their observation of conditions and
work for their reform.
Besides procuring the actual passage Of
laws wherever needed and possible the
committee would urge the continuance and
increase of earnest quiet work in the
/ the subject of child labor.
| Those who wish to use the cheap labor of
! children do not scruple to affirm that such
work is beneficial in every way, but not
even they can hold out against solid
public opinion upon the right side. Except
when there is immediate opportunity for
seeing its results We find very great ignor-
ance upon this subject among people who
are otherwise we'll informed
III the backward states where there are
few or no laws protecting the children, this
informing the public of the true state OF ~
fairs is absolutely vital, and your commit
tee begs that It be done Systematically and
vigorously.
! The committee congratulates those states
in which there has been marked advance
this year and hopes that many more will
have such results to show at the st. Pau
1 biennial.

the difficult position forced on a promi-
nent young society woman, who braved the

rather than withdraw at the eleventh hour
from the bridal party of a friend who had
invited her to assist in the wedding cere-
monies. Sentiment is greatly divided be-
tween sympathy for the young woman and
endorsement of the pastoral against d.

Thanksgiving set the gauge for things
last week, socially, and excepting a very
few pretentious things among which the
Kennedy Pritchett wedding came first.
everything was informal A half dozen
little teas limited to intimates or at most.
CougCnals few luncheons and club meet
ings and dancing party or two were
all. Thanksgiving day was more than
usually quiet There were scores Of family
dinner parties, so many in fact that II
would have been difficult to have gotten
UP any other kind. The foot ball game
at Lincoln proved a big attraction espe-
cially for university people past and pres
ent, and was undoubtedly responsible for
tho lull at home. The Boat club dance
at the Grand in Council Bluffs drew a
goodly number Of the fashionables and the
theaters afforded entertainment for the
rcst-that is Of those who did not stay
at home all day.

Da;rvtnein the south.

One Of the most encouraging signs
Of the times throughout the entire
south is the awakened interest manl-
tested in the past few years in dairy
ing. The southern states are Ideally
adapted to this branch OF agriculture
and good many farmers have dlscov-
cred that there is good money IN the
milch COW. This is especially true
since the advent of the handpower
cream separator, which adds from 20
to 40 per cent. to the profit OF eacn
COW. It is a question which our read
ers should thoroughly Investigate, not
only on account of the ready money the
mich COW brings in every week, but
also. because of the good effect upon
the farm in general, which follows the
introduction of a dairy herd. Indeed,
if the cows did no. yield good proflt
directly, they would still be paying
investment on account Of their value to
the fertility of the land.-Dixie Far

In fact it is with swine that Mrs III.

13 years she has directed her attention
to pork culture she has never pur-

never had her drc res afflicted with

methods of success are simple. She
feeds a preventive Of cholera regular

different floors.
AS a side issue Mrs. Ulrich sells an
nually 600 pounds of butter and 400
chickens, besides a quantity of small
fruit with which her farm abounds.

The practice Of using curry

it should never be used on the skin

NEW FRUITS IN TEXAS.
A Texas Farmer Who Has DeveI-
Oped Two New Varieties
of Fruits.

TWenty-eight years ago, when came
here, berry grew on upland and low
land alike, but as the country became
settled it gradually became scarce, un-
til it is almost extinct Only a few
vines Or canes can now be found on
fenced but uncultivated bottom lands.
In its wild state its upright canes re-
semble the wild blackberry of the
northern states. Some years ago I
placed this berry in cultivation, dig
ging trenches six feet apart and one
foot deep l filled these trenches with
well-rotted manure mixed with surface
soil. The second year after planting
it took on the form and habits of the
dewberry, no longer growing in up
right canes, but running on the ground
sometimes 20 feet, and taking root
wherever covered. It was necessary,
I found, to set stakes and stretch the
necessary wires for it to tWine upon.
When the berries are ripe it would
be hard to find anything in the fruit
line more beautiful They are very
prolific, large and finely favored,
rirening two weeks ahead of the earli-
est time berry can get. I sell them
at 40 cents gallon at home, and have
found nothing in the fruit line that
equals them as a money maker. why
did these berries change from a black
berry to dewberry habit when placed
in cultivation?
Two years ago | drafted twigs from
the wild goose plum into the limbs OF
several large seeding peach trees.
Most of them grew nicely One among
the many that fruited this year prom
ises to be freak. The plums are twice
as large as those on the parent tree,
and of a different shape, color and
favor, and ripen ten days earlier Ana
now I wonder if this plum will repro
duce this character if grated into an
other tree.-WiIl Robertson, in Orange

BETTER THAN ALL COTTON.
Fruit and Truck Taking the Place
of Cotton On Some of the
Texas Farms.

On a farm near Jacksonville, Tex,
nine years ago, man who had found
out that peaches could be grown with
profit, began 70 experiment with vege-
tables and small fruits. His first in
vestigation was with tomatoes. He
realized that if that country was to
prosper in an agricultural way, there
must he some crop besides cotton.
The first yield proved that the profits
Of an acre could be made to reach 5000,
which is four times what can be re-
allied from cotton. Notwithstanding
the undispted success of the expert
ment, people were incredulous. The
next year he added potatoes to his line
of experimental crops in diversified
ton. That year. 1897, there were per-
haps not lore than fifty cars sent
from the entire state, but from the
experiments of Wesley Love and one
or two others at jacksonville, the fruit
and truck industry in east Texas has
grown until the shipments in 1904
amounted to nearly eight thousand
cars.
The immigration from the north and
east exceeds anything probably that
ever occurred in that remarkable
movement twenty years ago, when the
tide was to the northwest. Thousands
md thousands Of acres have been taken
from the cultivation of cotton and
turned to orchards and truck fields. Po-
tatoes yield about 100 to 1855 bushels
an acre on an average, and last year
sold at $1.O2 bushel on the cars at
Morrill,, Jacksonville, Lufkin and Ty-
Ter. Often the ground grows two
crops the same year.
Many fruit growers have come from
the north. Roland Morrill,, Michigan,
since the possibilities in fruit culture
have become known, has bought up 49,
500 acres on the Cotton Belt south OF
TYLER. Eleven hundred acres are al
ready in peaches. Mr.. Morrill, will In
crease this to $500 acres in peaches.
There are already several hundred
acres in apples, plums and straWber-
ries, and the acreage in trees Will pc
increased as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Morrill, says that in the twenty
months since he put out his first trees
he has grown five crops OF potatoes.
He probably will make his potatoes pay
for the land by the time his trees be-
gin to produce a proft.-The Apple
