Strawberries to Go Up in tie
Next Few Days.
LEMONS ALSO GET BOOSTED
Florida Pineapple Season Opens Up;
Cherries Will Be Quite Scarce
and Somewhat Higher.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
A sharp advance in Strawberries will
take place in the next few days, accord
ING to local fruit commission merchants
The price has been advanced at whole
sale from $l.75 to 1925 crate, which
means that straight ten cents a box
will have to be demanded at retail, in
stead of three boxes for quarter
which has been the price the past week
time of the year as they have been in
the past few days, and never before
has so nice crop been offered on the
market at this season. Whereas one
of the local commission houses had not
gotten in any carload lots of strawber-
ries year ago, it has already had in
three up to the present time this spring
The berries are now coming from Mis-
souri,. The crop is light in that state.
and this accounts for the advance.
A sharp advance in lemons is also
taking place, due to the arrival of warm
weather. California lemons are the
only ones being received now, and there
is scarcity of these.
The naval orange season is through
any only Mediterranean sweets are now
being received. They are nice goods, and
the prices are about the same as last
year.
The Florida pineapple season is just
starting. This is very nice stock and
the next week or ten days will be the
time for housewives to get some fine
pineapples to put up. The Cuban stock
has been coming up to now, but the
Florida crop is better. Prices are rea-
sonable.
Cherries will be On the market in an
other week. They will arrive from Cal
ifornia. The crop of black cherries is
light and higher prices will prevail than
last year.
As to the summer fruit crop, such as
apples, peaches and pears, nothing can
~et be said as it is so early that no
pinion can be formed.

out of the question to keep the captured herd to-

doned. The cold was intense, masses of snow and
ice freezing on beard and mustache, and the snow
clogged the eyes. The high wind penetrated to the
marrow What was rather serious the

and were debating the ACCESSIBILITY of deserving

A wild night put in there. We had to sleep in

some out in the open. 1t rough soldering.

The operator, usually girl, sits with her left
side to the machine and with the left hand places
one end of strip of paper in of the notches,
and with the pressure of the foot brings the grooved
wheel into contact with the belt. In less time than
it takes to tell it the paper is rolled into the form
required and is held in this condition by bit of

paraffin kept hot by steam pipes in the bottom A
vertical shaft passes through the tank, and it is
provided with platforms upon which wire baskets
may be placed. When these baskets have been
filled with the paper tubes they immersed in
the hot paraffin for a minute and then raised into
the upper part of the tank This time has been
sufficient to coat the outside and to fill the tubes
completely with the paraffin. That which has been
retained within the straws must be removed, and
to accomplish this the baskets whirled around
in the upper part of the tank for few moments,

the superfuous material is thrown out and what
remains is dried to form the coating.
Up to this point in the process the tubes must
be handled with great care, and even then
have been crushed and spoiled but now they

turned from the baskets the table they still

into proper lengths, and pack them for shipment.
Six rubber bands are placed around bunch of
the long straws at such places that when the bundle
is sawed into three lengths each short bundle will
have band at each end. The used for this pur-
pose is thin the teeth fine and they have
As the operators paid by the piece, it is
necessary to count the straws and credit the num-
Der to the proper person For this reason the work
of each girl must be kept separate until it has been
packed into boxes, and as each box holds five hun
dred straws the proper credits can be made. The
usual output of the factory six hundred thousand
straws day, and this is accomplished with force
of twenty girls In the busiest part of the season
many a million straws turned out in day.
Shipments begin in February or March, and later
orders sent in as further supply is needed.

THESE are the ones commonly seen at soda
fountains, and are made of paper. Though
simple affair." each straw has to go through
several different operations before it comes from
the factory complete The paper used is fine
and tough kind of manila, made especially for the
purpose, and is different from the coarse variety
used for wrapping.
The paper reaches the factory in packages con-
tanning a each, and must first be cut into
strips. Four reams, or nearly two thousand Sheets
are cut at one time and each descent of the knife
makes that number of strips about thirty inches
long, an inch wide at one end and inch and
quarter at the other. AS the paper is wound round
the spindle the coils get closer together, and for
this reason it is necessary to have the paper taper
ing in order that the completed straw may be of
the same thickness from end to end
The machine for rolling the paper consists of
long steel spindle held horizontally by single
bearing at one end and provided with grooved
wheel to engage with the belt which rotates it. and

world. To intense disgust found ourselves
little more than half-mile from Monument Station.
Wasn't it tough, having to sleep out in that howl
ing, freezing blizzard within hailing distance of
warmth and shelter? However, the low black
building still held promise of hot breakfast and
warm bodies, and preparations made to get
there in short order.
Scouts were sent out first thing to look for the
abandoned herd, which was found few miles back
But at roll-call two men missing, and it was
presumed that they had fallen from their horses out
the prairie in the night. Lieutenant Henely
decided not to start back to Wallace without making
thorough search for the missing men. While the
matter was being discussed the scouts came tearing
in with the herd, and the pounding of hundreds of
horses on the frozen ground stirred up mighty
commotion. As the half-wild animals stampeded
in among amazed to see two heads pop
out of big drift alongside the railroad en-
bank1nent, and the sheepish, sleepy, foolish ex-
preston of their owners faces entirely ridi-
cuous that burst into gales of uproarious laugh

voices nad 1a1leQ TO penetrate their
white coverlet, and we would have
surely ridden away and left them
asleep, tired and cuddled down together,
but for the awakening thunder of the
galloping herd. They never heard the
last of that experience.
There being no train to take us back
to Wallace, we were forced to make a
march of it, following the line of the rail-
road. The sun reflected dazzlingly from
the snow, and it was not long before
almost the entire outfit was stricken
with snow blindness. The little column
CROPPED along under the guidance of those
not affected, until finally train came
along, and the "owls" were put aboard.
The rest of us brought in the horses
and wagons, arriving at Fort Wallace
late in the afternoon. Headquarters
held us there for more than a week
in readiness for further campaigning,
if necessary; but the death of Chief
Spotted Horse ended that raid for good
and all.
Our return to Fort Lyons was in the
nature of triumphal entry The Nine
tenth Infantry band welcomed us as
conquering heroes; and there was a big
dinner, followed by dance in the mess
hall. The report of the expedition was
read with the entire garrison on parade,
and the way Lieutenant Hene1y praised
his men did our hearts good-he spread
it on good and thick. And he kept his
promise about not forgetting us six.
When his report was ended the whole
line let out one great ripping shout, and
the c. o. never let on that he even
noticed the breach of discipline. Soldiers
have to be humored like children, and
the "Old Man was wise enough to allow
for circumstances.
Sometime later Lieutenant Henely
was summoned to Washington to show
the Indian sentimentalists in Congress
just cause for the slaughter of the
Cheyennes on Sappa Creek. Nothing
more was heard on that score. While
there he gained the ear of the Secretary
of War, and presented such strong
case that the secretary awarded each and
everyone of us six a Medal of Honor

hop | came face to face with old spotted
Horse himself, and that wicked old villain
went to the happy hunting grounds with
bullet through the buckskln breast
plate with his spotted horse-and-creS-
cent device painted on it. How the
bullets did fly! 1t was miracle, but
not one of the six got scratch, though
on taking inventory after it was all over
l found eight bullet holes in my over
coat and the cloth all powder burned.
And aside from a few minor wounds
there were no casualties in the entire
command.
That rush settled the whole business
then and there. We counted twenty
dead bucks in the trenches, ten were
ported from the bluff while trying to
make run for it, and the detachment
coming in with the captured herd ac-
counted for five more. Several had
been wiped out in the first rush on the
tepees, and there is no telling how many
more were badly wounded and crawled
off into the willows to die. And every
black-hearted buck had a scalp or two
some even more-dangling from his belt.
The scalps we buried.

anything out of the ordinary line of duty
until Lieutenant Henely shook each of
us six men by the hand and publicly
thanked us for the daring and dash "
which had routed the Indians and pulled
the command out of mighty tight place.
He promised not to forget us, and he
didn't. The men gave a rousing cheer
for Henely, and three and tiger for us.

The tepees were full of trappings and

his head dress and the buckskin breast
plate We all secured souvenirs of the

had drawn their teeth by killing old
Spotted Horse and capturing their entire
herd of horses.

double as. much work is being done in
the United States in 1906 as was done
in 1896. The rewards for doing the
work are greater now than they were
then.
These are some of the things which
are working for republican success in
the present canvass. Chairman
Sherman would be justified in direct
ing his spell binders to claim that the
country's prosperity is republican
asset. 1t is upon republican courage,
conservatism and sanity that the
countr;s,'s prosperity rests. This con-
sideration will add hundreds of
thousands of votes to the republican
total in the congressional elections of
1906.

A VITAL PROBLEM.

Throughout the southland the fires
of race hatred are burning. From a
dozen states come the reports Of kill
ings and shootings and outrages. We
do not think that the whites are alone
responsible. We have no word of
clemency for the black ravisher any
more than we would have for the
white ravisher.
1t would appear however that the
South. having been left alone as Sen
ator Tillman asks, has notably failed.
The policy Of oppression and inforc-
ed ignorance has not paid. Brutality
is the only instinct the South has
tried to foster on the negro.
The natural outcome of ignorance
and brutality is lust and outrage.
1t is time that the North disregard
ed the advice of the hell-bent Sena-
tor from South Carolina. We have
been shutting our eyes and premitt-
ing the South to do as it pleased for
too long a time.
The South has failed and the North
has contributed to the failure by it's
neglect to assume its responsibility.
1t is time that we interviewed in the
South just as we have in Cuba. 1t is
time that the Thirteenth and Four
teenth amendments were enforced. 1t
is time that the North awoke to the
enormity of the situation.
No two races can live long at peace
when they have hatred in their hearts.
Something must be done in the
Southland before anarchy and blood
shed reign supreme. The North must
refuse to follow Senator Tillman' S
advise. Order must be restored and
the constitution must be upheld even
if it is necessary to place the south
ern states under martha! law.

one of the Oldest and best known
local papers in Crawford county, by
which subscribers to the two papers
may renew their subscriptions by the
payment of $3.50 and receive the
Farmers Tribune One Year Free-for
good measure. This is direct saw
ing of so cents to every subscriber to
the two papers and will enable any
one taking The Review now. to get
the Enterprise and the Tribune for
One Dollar additional. This clubbing
proposition is an experiment for both
papers. They believe they occupy
different fields and that there is nc
rivalry between them. 1t is now up
to the west-end readers of the Review
and to the Enterprise subscribers tc
show whether they appreciate the
offer or not. If they do not the Offer
will be withdrawn. This offer is
open to old and new subscribers alike
and is direct saving to the many
now taking both papers. Payments
may be made either at Denison or a
Dow City. We trust that this liber
al offer will meet with a general re
Spouse such as shall warrant it
continuance.
