the International League of Press
clubs in Denver, the following reso-
IL tions were adopted:
Whereas, There are stage produc-

ORCHARD CULTIVATION.

In general, the soil needs each year
a thorough turning up In the spring
with a plow, and a shaking out now
and then through the growing season
with the cultivator. The aim Of such
tillage is to let in sunshine and air,
thereby furnishing life-giving oxygen
to the roots and enabling the myriads
of bacteria to live and work; to con-
serve moisture; to unlock the store
room of potash and phosphoric acid
and to kill weeds. The last purpose,
killing weeds, is in reality the least
in Importance, though many think of
It az the sole aim Of the operation.
A few more practical suggestions
are: Begin plowing as soon as the soil
can be worked In the spring, cultivate
at intervals OF week or 10 days until
midsummer; stop when the trees
have made sufficient growth, other.
wise the wood may be unrlpe and soft
for winter; cultivate In such way
that the soil for the most part is lef
! level. The implements should b.
adapted to the soil and work.
There are now innumerable goot
tools, and one can take his choice be
tween various clod crushers, harrows

Thousands of American women, how

suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator known to

which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods Of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton

"Lydia e. Pinkham'sv Vegetable Compound
IA a true friend to woman. It has been OF
great benefit to me, curing me OF irregular
and painful periods when everything else had

BIG BUCKETsHOP FAILURE.

The bucketshop people of New York
have given pyrotechnic show with
the failure of M. J. Sage & Co., who
were the kingpins of the business.
This firm kept 80 telegraph operators
busy in their Jersey City establish
ment, and had four trunk lines of
telegraphs to the south alone, with
agents in many cities, to the number
of 1856. They handled about $4,000
shares daily, and got caught by the
bulls to the tune of s2,000,000, which
Is quite tidy sum to lose even for a
bucketshop. 1t is estimated that the
notorious CAP Adams who served a
term for policy playing on a gigantic
scale, and who is said to have backed
the bucketshop, is out about a million
and refused to put up any more cash,
letting them drop with dull thud.
The passion for bucketshop dealings
is widespread, and has its hold upon
the entire country, the disease finding
its victims throughout the entire coun-
try, no matter whether there has been
recent exposure or not. Wall
street firms say this failure will lead
tn the dminution If not the extinc-
tion of many others in the same line
of business. The swindle is palpable,
as in many cases there is no transac-
ton in the stock market to base the
business upon, as the proprietors
simply mark stock up or down. and
charge or credit customers according
ly, selling them out at the last chance.
The collapse in the case of Sage &
Co. came so suddenly, so surely and
irretrievably, that even the arch-con-
spirator could not get out in time.
There appears to be in this case, at
least, so the managers say, about
$4,000 of assets to meet the obli-
cations of 100000, as they put It.
But those assets will soon be wiped
out, and the office furniture will be
the main reliance, as is usually the
case.

money Chicago has been swindled
out of by Marshall Field and other
hypocritclal, pious members of the
Chicago Good Government league. 1t
has bee nproven since his death that
Field, who was the personification Of
pious good citizenship, falsified his
personal property returns and cheat
ed Me city out of many thousands of
dollars of legitimate tax money.
As a member of the Good Govern
ment league, Field always showed a
special ant!pathy to street corner
orators who are won't to pop up in
Chicago when they have no money
to hire halls, and declaim against the
existing tax system because of the
splendid opportunities It affords dis
honest tax dodgers to evade paying
for their share of the expenses of
government. This antipathy OF Field
is matter of record; he had no pa
tience with anyone who expressed
dissatisfaction with the status quo IN
government, and was always in
state Of chronic alarm about the
danger to vested interests" in allow
ing agitators to use either the streets
or halls for preaching revolutionary
doctric doctrines. In his eyes 1t was
an offense that almost came within
the category of actual crime, to
preach the single tax. but tax lodging
by evasion and Justification Of re-
turns was not in his list of offenses
against good government.
And Marshall Field stood for a
class a great and Influential and
growing class. Therein consists the
danger to American institutions-not
especially in the fact that he himself
was an old hypocrite with apparently
no conscience outside Of pious plati-
tudes.

ed among other things that F. T.
Mays who is on trial and his associ-
ates prior to the creation of the Blue
mountain reserve, applied to the state
land board to purchase all the unsur-

ed limits of the reserve, and by the
use of Mays political pull took steps
To compel the state TO select for them
under the indemnity provision of the
lieu land act of 1897, about 10000
acres of the most valuable timber
lands then remaining open to entry
in Oregon. These lands. which Mr..
Heney asserted to have been worth at
least $40 an acre at that time, princi-
pally lie within the limits of what is
now the Maury mountain forest re-
serve. At that date this reserve had
not been established. This 100000
fraud. Mr.. Heney bluntly asserted
was nipped in the bud by Secretary Of
the Interior Hitchcock who held, when
the filings reached Washington, that
the Blue mountain reserve, not hav-
ing been established at the time the
applications to purchase were made,
there was yet no base for the making
Of the indemnity selections by the
state under the act of 1897. Had the

The northwest may expect a revival
OF the wheat and flour trade with
China and Japan. Rennie's big mill
at Hongkong has just bought in Port
land 5000 tons of wheat for October
shipment. The mill consumes from
5000 to 5000 tons a month. 1t may
go forward in a tramp steamer at a
S5.40 rate. In the Hongkong flour
market the decent tocks were: Oregon
and Washington 10000 bags. Califor-
MIA 10000 bags, Australia 100000
bags. The boycott is evidently dying
cut as this flour is chiefly for the
mainland of China.

There is good deal Of tax lodging
in Chicago despite all the schemes to
eQualize the levy. For instance there
are $6OO,0O0.O0O on deposit in the
banks and yet the entire personal
property in the county on the assess
ment rolls is only about 100000
900. The valuations Of the banks
have been increased $4,000, ,000,, not
because of former tax lodging, but
on account Of the increase In busi-
ness. Apart from this assessment the
real estate held by the Chicago banks
IL valued at between $11.oo0,000 and

Scheme of Decorations.
All the business houses have slgni-
fled their intention of decorating and
many of the buildings are already or
ramented. The First National bank
building, the Capital State bank and
the Boise National bank are most at
tractive in appearance with their fes-
prettlest buildings is the Overland
block, with its myriads of tiny green
and white banners and the floating
folds of bunting above.
The electrical effect which is being
arranged by a number of the busi-
ness houses is most beautiful. The
Electric Power company on Main
street and the Electric Supply COM
pany on Tenth street, both have
unique decorations of green and white
lights. Brands has an arch over the
entrance In the center of which hangs
a handsome wrought iron lantern with
green and white lights, with festoons
OF lights around the two sides. The
3oston has a new art lantern In green
Snd white hung over the entrance and
the drapery of bunting and lights COM
| bined make a very pleasing effect.
The entrance to the Natatorium Is
handsomely draped with green and
white bunting lighted with the color
ed lights and inside the balcony of
the plumage is hung with green and
white flags. The city hall and the
engine house on Sixth street will be
appropriately decorated.
An effort is being made to encour-
age the private residences to decorate
also and thus make the work uniform

| the w. c. Il. T.. are endeavoring to
work up a sentiment in favor of a
general decoration and to this end
have each offered prizes OF IS to the
most appropriately decorated home;
the prize offered by the w. C. I. L.
is to be awarded to house which
cost $4,000 or less. This will give
every home maker in the city an OPP
portunity to compete for the prize and

FINE PASSENGER
LAUNCH IN
PORT
The PineIand, in Command of
Capt. Young, Puts in for
GasoIene and Supplies.

One of the prettiest, and probably
the fastest boat of her size ever in
this port, is the launch Pineland,
which came up the bay late yesterday
afternoon and moored alongside OF
Palafox wharf The Pineland is in
command of Captain l.. F. Young,
who is quite well known in Pensacola,
as he has put in here upon numerous
occasions in command of yachts owned
by millionaires en- route to the east
coast.
The Pineland was much admired
by those who had the opportunity OF
seeing her late yesterday afternoon.
She is a passenger launch, over one
hundred feet in length and with gaso-
line engines of 800 horsepower, which
drive her through the water at the
rate of nearly twenty miles an hour.
She can accommodate nearly two hun
dred passengers.
The launch is just from the builders
and is now on her way around to
Covington, La. She is owned by a
stock company, of which Captain
Young is one. and will ply on Lake
Ponchartrain She was built in Mar
blehead, Mass, and has had fairly
good weather on the passage around.
On board are two passengers, c. P.
Richardson, of New Orleans, who is
interested in the boat, and H. Hop
kins. of Vicksburg, Miss. The Pine
land put in for gasoline and supplies
and will sail for New Orleans this
morning.

DEVELOPMENTS
IN HARTJE
CASE.
Testimony Adduced Yesterday In
dictates Line of Defense that
Will Be Followed.
BY Associated Press.

Plttsburg, July 17.--Not the. least
important development in the Hartje
divorce case was the outline of de-
Tense disclosed by the testimony of
Ida Scott, the fifteen-year-old sister
of Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, who was
on the stand to-day. She testified that
she had written to or three envelopes
addressed to Tom Nadine, the coach
man respondent, at the request of
Annie Lutz, one of the maids and had
also given Annie sheets of her paper.
Thus the presence of the single en-
velope among all the love letters pre-
sented by counsel for libellant Is to be
explained. The charge of forgery by
respondent will be reinforced by ac-
counting for the presence, in the batch
of letters, of paper used by the Scott
girl which was given her by Ida.

TRIAL Of DAW
WILL OCCUR
THURSDAY
Board of Public Works will Hear
the Long Standing Charges
Against Street Foreman.

The trial of j. A. Daw, who was
suspended some months ago by Chair
man Zelius. of the. Board of Public
Works for INSTRUMENTATION, will occur
tomorrow afternoon, commencing at
5 O'Clock. The charge is insubordina-
ton, Daw at the time being employed
in the street department as foreman.
The case originated during the mud
die in the Board of Public Works over
the street superintendent. Former
Superintendent Gingles had been sus-
pended and Acting Superintendent
Spottswood placed in charge, and all
the employees were instructed to take
orders from the latter. Daw. it IS
charged, refused to receive orders
from the acting street superintendent,
but obeyed the orders given him by
Gingles and took out a gang Of labor
ers to work upon the street, contrary
othe orders of Spottswood.
The result was that he was suspend
ed. Gingles was afterwards tried and
discharged and Daw was TO have been
tried at the same meeting, but it was
decided to postpone action until a
later date.
Recently Daw sent in a claim to the
council for salary for all the time lost,
and that body upon learning that he
had never been given trial, ordered
that he be tried at once, so the board
will convene in special session to-mor-
row for this purpose.

ANXIOUS
Over the Law Making it a Misdl.
meanor to Catch Fish at
This Season.

The beach fishermen in and around
Pensacola are somewhat anxious over
the game law. which was published in
The Journal Sunday morning, and
which declares It misdemeanor to
take certain fish during this season
of the year. The fish referred to are
al beach fish, and of course this class
of fishermen are affected.
A number Of them have ceased .al-
together, and consequently the re-
ceipts at the fish houses are very light.
Some of the fish men think they res
member when this law was tested and
DECLARED unconstitutional and attor.
neys are now looking into the matter
for them. Another law was passed by
the last legislature making 1t unlaw-
full to catch mullet during a certain
period of the year, but this law Is not
effective until January.
1t will probably be two or three
days before it Is known whether or
rot the first named law was tested
and declared unconstitutional. and if
it was not there will in all probability
be a scarcity of beach fish in Pensa-
cola
