1t Has Been Set for April 18th.

Boise, Idaho.-April 18th is the date
decided upon for the beginning of the
trial of Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone at Caldwell. Before leaving Wal
lace, where the attorneys for both the
state and defense were engaged in the

appeal to the Supreme Court on the
ruling of the court on the motion to
dismiss, should the motion be over
ruled. although the appeal may be
taken.
Attorneys for the state telegraphed
to Washington for information as to
when the Supreme Court mandate will
arrive and were informed that it would
reach Boise early next week, if not
sooner.

motion for a change of venue will be
made next Monday.

Professor HACKERS Experiments.

Professor Hacker of Nebraska is do
doing some good work with herd OF
dairy cows, says Field and Farm. Last
year twenty-four cows, composed OF
ten Jerseys. ten Holsteins, one Short
horn and three grade Holsteins, pro
duced 9,11994 pounds of butter-an av-
erage of $50 pounds. The cost of keep
was S695.95, or an average of S29. But
all the cows were not fed alike, Bar
oness, large Holstein cow. ate s34
worth of food and produced Az pounds
of butter while Babe. a small Jersey,
ate s22 worth of food and produced
359 pounds of butter So it varied all
through the herd. There was no guess
work about 1t for exact records were
kept of the food eaten and the butter
produced, so the actual profit from
each COW was absolutely known. One
exceptional grade Holstein COW named
Spot made a great record. She has
been purchased for $40 and gave
1900 pounds of milk, making 475
pounds OF butter. The man who sold
her did not know her value, but Pro-
fessor Hacker soon found it out, and
now says she is worth from $500 to
S40O to any dairyman. Katy Gerben, a
three-year-old Holstein cow produced
723 pounds of butter from S71.43 worth
of food consumed. This COW was used
to explain the necessity of the feeder
determining the capacity of his cows
and feeding all the food they can pro-
fitably handle. Katy Gerben returned
a net profit of S157.76 for the year,
nearly three times as much as the
average of the herd, even though she
consumed over twice as much feed

"Prophet" Dowie Dead.

Chicago.-John Alexander Dowie
died on the 9th at Shiloh house, Zion
City. There were present with him
when he died only Judge d. N. Barnes
and two personal attendants.
1t had been his custom all summer
and winter to hold religious services
every Sunday afternoon in the parlor
of Shiloh house. About $50 Of his orig
inal followers remained faithful and
attended these services. Dowie al
ways wore his apostolic robes and
made a characteristic address. Five
weeks ago Dowie ceased to appear in
public, but the Sunday meetings were
still held by his adherents. Since that
time he has grown steadily weaker.

Advice As to Pruning.

The cutting of large branches
should be avoided if possible. 1t is
true that severe pruning of an orchard
in winter or early spring often results
in great increase in the size and quail
ity of the fruit the following season.
and consequently many growers think
they mus. prune their trees annually.
The result of cutting off large quantl-
ties of the branches at one time is to
greatly decrease the number of buds,
and consequently those remaining,
having the same amount of root force
the whole tree would have had, will
grow more rapidly. the foliage being
more vigorous and the fruit larger
and better, but If pruning is to be de-
pended upon fer an increase in the
size of the fruit, only a few annual
prunings could be given the tree be-
fore it would be destroyed. 1t is gen
orally better to put the labor expended
in pruning into thinning and spraying
the fruit when the trees are over
loaded, o. the cost of this work into
fertilizers. by which means a perma-
nently increased vigor of the trees
would result and much better fruit be
produced.--Field and Farm.

NEBRASKA RAILROAD LAW.
Railroads Preparing to Contest its
Validity.

Omaha-It is authoritatively an
nounced in private report of official
character from Chicago that the rail
roads of Nebraska will contest the
2-cent passenger fare law which the
Legislature enacted a week ago, and
the governor signed last Wednesday,
at midnight, placing it in effect at
once.
The railroads are now preparing to
carry the case to the courts and there
make a vigorous contest to determine
the validity of the new law.
When the law was enacted it
carried an emergency clause which
provided for its operation upon its be-
ing signed by the governor, or within
five days without his signature.
The governor, George L. Sheldon,
though elected by the Republicans
upon a socalled ant-railroad platform
last fall. on the stump during the cam
paign advocated a graduated scale of
fares, rather than a fiat 2-cent law, be-
lieving the latter would be confisca-
tory in many cases of small or branch
roads.
So when the Legislators passed the
bill providing for a fiat 2-cent rate
Governor Sheldon hesitated to sign the
bill, thinking to be consistent
with his prediction course. But
when he considered that without
his signature the law, which the peo-
pie demanded, might be unconstitul
tional, owing to the wording of the
emergency clause, he decided to sign
1t rather than place himself in the way
of what the majority of the Legislature
had deemed a wise measure.

There is certain to be a wide future
for the small college. 1t has place
to flll which can be taken by no other
educational force. The small college
is commonly located in small town
1t is quite sure to depend in large
measure upon the patronage and sup
port OF men to whom life has been a
hard and serious problem, says Cleve-
land Leader. To such colleges will
come students who find 1t difficult to
obtain means for any education be-
yond the limits of the public school,
The influence upon the civic life and
social ideals of the American repub-
lie which springs f-om such colleges
and universities-for some have a
wide range of usefulness and many
departments-has been exceedingly
valuable. 1t will not be less so in the

All the big gifts to education are
not made public. An anonymous
benefactor of Princeton university
has made the management of that in
stitution happy by donation which
will enable the university to be en-
larged along important lines. That is,
the benefactor is anonymous so far
as the world at large is concerned.
or course President Wilson knows,
and from what that gentleman says
1T is inferred that the sum represents
one Of the largest gifts ever made to
any university. Sooner or later the
name of the generous donor will come
out. Notwithstanding his modesty.
The prediction that 1907 is likely to
be a record breaker in the matter of
donations to education is in a fair way
toward fulfillment. February alone
has carried the figures to high
notch.

At present immigration is giving us
annually about one new citizen to
every 70 of our total population. Can
ada is getting new people in the pro-
portion of one to 80 of her present
number, says New York Sun. Her
arrivals last year are reported as
215.912. Many of our alien arrivals
are only temporary visitors. They
stay with us until work is slack or
until they have accumulated a com.
Portable little roll of money. Then
they go home again. Many stay with
us and add to our permanent popula-
ton. Practically all of Canada's ar
rivals are permanent settlers in the
dominion. Canadas gain in 1906 over
1905 was 1924, or about 40 per cent.

Crime in Ne1U York

Crime i'm Ve1O York.
New YORK CRY appears to be suffering from a
of crime that has completely bafled the police
department In fact, Mr.. Bingham admits that the
force must be greatly augmented in order to cope
successfully with the horde of criminals that infest
the city. It is safe to say that either an unusual
number of desperate characters have focked to New
York, or else the department is being hampered by
the Vaccinations of its own members.
It is we'll known that the police commissioner
has found it necessary to make sweeping
changes on the force. Those men, perhaps, are do
ing all they to discredt the head of the admins
tration It has been proved that they we're in cou-
sion with the powers that prey. No doubt these
feel their disgrace keeny by being reduced in rank
Therefore they have become derelic in the perform
ance of their duty and are welding hammer. Mr.
Bingham should have dismissed these men when he
discovered evidence of their oulpability. He might
have known that they would seek revenge by being
inefficient and disloyal.
Undoubtedly New York contains more vicious
characters than formerly, and the why crime
is prevalent at the present time is because of the
laxity Of it's officials.

who has not criminal record and who is arrested

where mans innocence proved it is no more
than just that his record should be destroyed The
governor recognized the merits of the bill by axing
his signature to the measure.

enlist, has made the interesting discovery of trans
muting metals The event is heralded as marking
new epoch in science For centuries scientists have
been endeavorng to transmute baser metals into the
higher-gold and silver-but their researches we're
in vain. Sir William does not claim to be able to
dissolve pig iron into gold. He does claim, however,
that he successfully degrade copper into its baser
constituents
In the past many charlatan alchemist has
humbugged persons into the belief that he could
transmue baser metals into gold but his system was
all pretence The only transmitting they ever did
to transfer gold from the pockets of the gulble

SOME time ago a meritorious movement was
started in Cleveland to eliminate the stage Jew, a
character which has become very offensive to the
thousands of good people of that nationality. Pre-
vious to this time the Hibernians started crusade
