BIG TARANTULA IN PRISON.
Interesting Pet Prisoner In Ohio State
Penitentiary.


Besides the big yellow rat catcher
Tabby and the Maltese Dan. which
will do all the tricks commonly done
by dogs, such as jumping through the
hands, sitting up to say his prayers,
etc, the Ohio penitentiary boasts an
other interesting pet. He arrived re-
Gently from the sunny south in
bunch of bananas and is great tar
antula. which looked so ferocious they
put him in solitary confinement on
sight, although no misdemeanors can
be proved against him. When stand
ing with his legs spread out he Just
fills the bottom of the pint milk bottle
in which he slept last night. A hole
was cut in the cover for air and Mex
leo Pete, as the guards have named
him, did very well last night, but Will
require larger quarters when he de-
sires to exercise.
His chief amusement was tying into
bundles the numerous flies which by
some odd song or perfume were at
tracted into his bottle. Those he
couldn't eat he spun a chain around
and laid by for future provisions. Pete
is dark red and very hairy-for his
covering is too long and coarse to be
simply "fuzzy"-and although he has
ten legs, like any tarantula, his BODY
is larger, and he has head some
thing like a turtles. He is also blessed
with ravenous appetite and his
mouth could be plainly seen opening
and closing last night, already In an
ticipation of his morning breakfast OF
bananas.

Any county in this broad land

Rcd Turkey Wheat

This is a bearded wheat that has
been grown in the west with greater
success than any other winter wheat
that has yet been tested. This wheat
originally came from one of the very
best wheat regions of Russia. Some
years ago the Kansas experiment
station tested nearly fifty varieties OF
winte, wheat. 1t was found that
Turkey Red wheat was one of the
best yielding and most hardy varie-
ties in this experiment. The millers
of Kansas and Secretary Coburn of
the state board of agriculture i'm
ported considerable quantity of this
wheat for seed purposes. 1t was

Colorado 0 AgricuIture.

Il is IA poor time of the year to
study the agriculture of any part of
the United States. For that pur-
pose one should select the season of
growing crops, when everything is
green aud fourishing. This is the
time of harvest, and matured crops
are like statistics, valuable, but to
many persons both dry and uninte
resting.
People who will take the trouble
to look into such matters will find
that under our system of irrigation
Colorado's agriculture is more profit
able than that of almost any ouher
state in the union. 1t is intensive,
requiring close attention and great
deal of work in proportion to the
area cultivated. But the returns are
large, and on few acres good
Colorado farmer can make as much
money as a Kansas or Missouri farm
er on large tract of land.
Lurge yields are secured here be-
cause of several different factors at
work in the farmers favor. The eli
mate is on his .ide, because of the
larger percentage of sunshine. This
favorable condition causes plants to
grow rapidly aud improves the quail :
ity of much that is produced. There
seems also to be something in the
soil which promotes vigorous crop
growth. But what is of chief i'm
portsnce is the direct and timely ap-
plication of water in irrigation
When growing crop needs rain,
the Colorado farmer irrigates it,
whereas the Kansas or Missouri farm
er must let it suffer, aud thus in
MANY seasons the Kansas and Mis-
souri harvests show shor age.
Water being the mot important Of
all factors in crop growth, ability to
apply it when needed Is Of almost

desirable milling wheat, and the
State of Kansas is today regarded as
the greatest winter wheat state in the
Union.
Some Of the best and purest of
this Turkey Red wheat in Kansas
was brought into Nebraska by Mr..
s. g. Bassett, secretary of the state
board Of agriculture. This WAS
grown near Gibbons, Nebraska, this
last year. The Agronomy depart
ment of the State Agricultural Col
lege has been able to secure one
hundred bushels Of this pure strain
of the original stock of Turkey Red
imported from Russia by Secretary
Coburn and the millers of Kansas.

the adjacent wheat region of North

Our Ability to Do.

Mr.. Rockefeller e1pounds our duty to
the Deity by saying that "our re-
quirements are only as He hath Civ
en- us ability to do" OF course our
abilities vary. Some of us are able
to do the whole United States, and
some must be content with doing
small fraction of the community,
while others regard themselves sue
cessful if they can do their immed-
late nelghbor. We think Mr.. Rock
efeller, who seems to speak for the
Deity, will grant the assurance of
Lords favor if we "do" the best we
can according to our cramped oppor-
tunities, for opportunities as we'll as
abilities must be taken into account.

value to the farmer.

To one who appreciates consider
atoms of this kind il is not surpris-
ing that Colorado farmers secure
enormous yields and that the quality
of what they produce is as rule of
very high grade, Colorado cante
loupes are famous throughout the
United States. Greeley potatoes are
counted amoug the best produced in
this country. Grand junction and
Delta peaches are not surpassed in
flavor by the fruit of any other
part of the union. Colorado alfalfa
has no superior as stock feeding
hay, and lambs fattened on it com
maud the top price in the large mar
kets of the East. The rapid de-
velopment of the beet sugar industry
in recent years testifies to the ad-
vantages of Colorado in both soil and
climate for the production Of beets
containing high percentage of
sngar and yielding large tonnage
per acre.
The story of Colorado's agricult-
ure is too long to be told in the
space of short newspaper article,
but every one who understands it
recognizes the highly important part
which crop production plays in the
growth and prosperity of this state.

OMAHA A COMMERCIAL CENTER
Commercial schools of Our City Bring
Each Year n Large Amount of
Money TO Our Merchants.

No city can ever boast of its greatness
or power when II fails to foster or on
courage education Of every sort liberal
and indulgent support must he extended
first to our common schools, and then to
such secular and religious institutions that
may wish TO throw open their doors to
students who are seeking a higher educa-
ton or desire to fit themselves for some
special calling In life. Such support and
encouragement will necessarily contribute
TO the growth and welfare of the CITY, be-
sides giving II a name and an influence
known and felt everywhere.
Omaha has literally supported all schools
and as a result is coming to be known as
an educational center of considerable i'm
portance. It's public schools rank among
the best. and the people of Omaha are
Justly proud of them, but they are none
the less proud or deserving than a large
number of private schools and colleges
which have sprung into being, because of
the liberal encouragement and support of
a class of people which recognizes the
value of education DESTROYS to discipline
and train the mental faculties.
The private schools to which reference
has been made and which are doing so
much for the city or state consist Of
Creighton university. Brownen Hall,
Creighton Medical college, Omaha Medical
college, Creighton Dental college, Omaha
Dental college, Creighton Law school,
Omaha Law school, Presbyterian Theo-
logical seminary, Omaha Conservatory Of
Music, Omaha Commercial college and
Boyles Commercial college.
The combined annual enrolment Of these
two schools in round numbers is 1000
Fully 60 per cent Of this number is made
up of nonresident pupils. at a low esti-
mate OF $4,000 a year. II the other private
schools of the city attract nonresident
students In anything like the same proper
ton II will be safe to say that the private
schools of Omaha are the direct means
OF bringing to the city an annual sum OF
over $2.5OOOOO. This amount of money dis
tributed among the schools, hotels and
merchants cuts an important figure in the
material interests of the city.
The lesson 10 be learned from the benefits
to be derived by the city as a whole from
| its private schools IL that the people SHOULD
encourage every laudable effort upon tn,
| part of those behind these educational en-
| terprises TO enlarge their facilities and ex
tend the circle Of their influence.

Few People Know How Useful IL L.
I'm Preserving Health andsBeauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfeotant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human system
Tor the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is g remedy that the more you
take OF It the better; It is not a drug at
ali. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach and
iatestines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal ,sweetsns the breath after smok-
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
Dther odOrous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
The, complexion, It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
n absorbs the injurious gases which col
Ieet in the stomach and bowels; It disin-
racts the mouth and throat from the poison
OF eatarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form OF
another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money Is in Stuart 1
charcoal LOsenges. They are composed OF
the fnest powdered willow charcoal ane
otner harmless antiseptics in tablet form
or rather, in the form OF large, pleasant

with honey.
