BOTHERED BY BATS.

1t is intensely Irritating to the editor
of the Omaha World Herald that
Georgia democrat should persist in
the suggestion of Theodore Roosevelt
as the next democratic candidate for
the presidency. With eyes full of salt
water and smoke he strikes tearfully
and madly at everything in reach. In
his agitated opinion it would be '.the
surrender of f-government to inn
perialism the death knell of organized
opposition to national bank favor
itism the abject surrender OF the
champions of local government to
those who, following the monarchical
Alexander Hamilton would rob the
states of their reserved sovereignty
and center all power and authority in
the administration at Washington

the legislature or contemplated by the
governor or the railroad commission.
If these letters are written promptly
and the work Of the legislature can
be undone in some way, it may cost
several millions of dollars to the people
of the state every year, but the Omaha
Printing company, Rees and Klopp Il
Bartlett can continue to print circulars
for the railroads, the Omaha hardware
men can sell some bolts and nuts and
the Kilpatricks can get few more
miles of grading to do before winter
sets in. Instead of asking for letter
for only ten per cent of the voters,
why not have everybody write in order
to insure the blessings of prosperity
for these seven firms?

An unpleasant reminder of the Thaw
trial has been manufactured by the
moving picture people and will be
shown in nearly every vaudeville and
novelty theater in the country during
the next six months. Actors bearing a
slight resemblance tC the principals
have been put through some of the
scenes of the tragedy, amid crudely
painted scenes that are supposed to
represent the Madison Square tower.
the prison and the court room. Where
the pictures are not Extensively frank
in their meaning they are false to the
real history of the case, for they repre-
sent the jurymen as rendering YER
dict of acquittal without leaving their
seats and ThaW receiving the congrat-
ulations of the court and departing
with the air of q nero. Without doubt a
number of homicides will result in this
country in the next year from the wide
display of these pictures. They are
many times more dangerous than the
newspaper reports of the same af-
fair tor the print has at least been
truthful. 1t has told the crack k-brained
youths OF the country that Thaw did
not escape. that the jury stood seven
to five against him, and that he must

The cherries are dead. These sad
tidings the. people of Nebraska have
been slow to accept, but the doubter
who will take the pains to go care
fully over tho trees in Lincoln will
find little prospect of a cherry crop.
A very thorough examination Oh a
garden cherry orchard upon high
ground in southeast Lincoln disclosed
dead pistils in nine-tenths of the
cases. This examination covered
six different varieties both early and
late. Most of the trees have not yet
hlossomed, the buds being half closed
and In many eases tightly shut. But
the blackened pistl and oyary m
each bud tell the story. Tho buds will
open and the trees put Oh their white
garments In one or two sunny Gays
but the whiteness of tho cherry tree
gown will be the whiteness OF n
Chinese funeral this spring. for the
cherry child is slain in embryo.

KILLS DANDELIONS.

An eastern agricultural
authority claims to have found
weapon that will kill off the
pestiferous dandelion. His for
mula is stated to be not only
effective, but quite simple and
inexpensive. Here it is.
Dissolve two pounds Of sui
phate of iron in a gallon of
water, and add about two and
one-half ounces of sulphuric
acid. Place the liquid in an
ordinary sprinkling can and get
busy. This potion will serve

finance with all my thoughts on rich

down to royal feast with a stomach
like John DIS To romp and frolic
with my kids around our cheerful
hearth, with their mother for the au-
dience to help enjoy their mirth, is
better than to move about in high So
ciety. where dress and jewels false

NEW FARMING SECRET.
Young Texas Farmer Brings About
Startling Results.

A young Texas farmer has discov-
cred a new principle of nature in the
growth OF plants and has been exper-
imenting with agricultural products
along the lines which his newly dis
covered secret reveals. A Texas cor
Democrat says that he conducts his
work upon a line that has never been
touched upon by the soil and crop
experts OF the United States depart
ment of agriculture or of any of the
other scientific farmers of the country
so far as he knows"
The young farmer, whose name is
James d. Greer has been making a
special study of corn. On very poor
land which ordinarily produced less
than twenty bushels of corn to the
acre, he, by application of his meth
cd of planting and cultivating, has
been able to get an average yield OF
sixty bushels per acre. This corn
does not consist of nubbins, but the
ears are of enormous size measuring
more than fourteen inches in length.
The grains are finely developed,
and are exceedingly nutricious. No
fertilizers whatever are used, and the
method of cultivation does not entail
any extra amount of work. While
corn is his specially, or has been mp
TO this time, Mr.. Greer has produced
a new watermelon and a new peanut,
the latter bearing four kernels to the
pod He is engaged now in the de-
velopment OF cotton seed which will
not only increase the yield, but add
value to the staple.
What the hitherto unknown secret
OF natures mysteries in which this
new agricultural wizerd has caught,
what his methods of planting and
cultivating are, the Texas correspond
emf does not tell. There are more
MYSTERIES saws the discoverer, an
the growth and development of agri-
cultural products that can be dreamed
OF by the wisest theorSt. Only a
peep has been obtained. he declares,
into the great possibilities that plant
life holds, and he hopes to accomplish
even greater wonders yet through
the insight which he has gained into
natures ways.

the greatest service which can be
rendered to any country is to add to

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medicine SCENT
lists are unanimous in the conclusion
that the generally accepted limitation
of human lift is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanc-
ed knowledge of which the race is
now possessed. The critical period
that determines its duration, seems
to be between so and 60; the proper
care of the body during this decade
can not be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to lonlivity.
