A Sunday Train Law Test.

The law passed by the last legisla-
ture requiring railroad companies to
run one passenger train each way
over their road each Sunday will be
tested in the courts in Cole county.
The Missouri Pacific railroad owns
and operates a branch line from JET
ferson City to Bagnell, 20 miles Of
which is in that county. The new law
became effective June IA, but the COM
pany has failed to put on a Sunday
train. When the Cole county grand
jury met recently. J.. G. Slate, the
prosecuting attorney, asked II to in
vestigate the matter. and the jury re-
turned seven indictments against the
company for failing to comply with
the law. Seven Sundays have passed
since the law went into effect, hence
the seven indictments. The penalty
is a fine from $500 to $500 for each
o~ffense.

WILL TEST Two-cENT FARE BILL
Pennsylvania Railroad Attacks Consti-
tutionality of New Law.

Pennsylvania Railroad Attacks Consti-
tutionaIity of New Law.
Philadelphia, May 23.-Steps were
taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad
company to test the constitutionality
of the two-cent fare bill recently pass
ed by the Pennsylvania legislature.
Counsel for the railroad company filed
a bill in equity in the common pleas
court against the county of Philadel-
phia, enjOining the defendant from de-
manding any penalties for violation
Of the bill. The measure was passed
on April 5, and goes into effect on
October l.
It is set forth that if the two-cent
fare bill is enforced that the charters
Of several railroads will be substan-
TALLY altered by the curtailing and re-
strictiOn of their corporate rights in
respect to charges for transportation
of passengers; that it will reduce their
revenue from that class of traffic to
such an extent as to render the pas
senger business non-cOmpensative and
will work a hardship and injustice to
the stockholders.
The bill concludes that the measure
is unconstitutional and in violation OF
the interstate commerce laws.

Scranton, Pa, May 25.-The ma

out. This was in compliance with a
telegram from National President

the order went all along the line of

At DUnmOre 120 machinists and help

The strike is against piece work.
The men in most of the shops we're
working by the day. Recently the
company issued an order putting all
shops on piece work. Conferences were
held last week in New York between
the representatives of the men and
the officials of the company, and the
ultimatum of the company was that
the piece work order must stand. The

A UNIQUE CRITICISM.
The Shout That Made Remington's In
dian Open His Mouth.

Frederic Remingtons studio was
quiet. A stiffness that betOkens work
pervaded the atmosphere, and the art
ist, working away at his canvas, "The
Spirit of War;" silently laid on his
colors of the scorching sun. and an In
dian chief, raised in his stirrups. shout
ing to his braves, inspiring them with
courage for the fight.
Remington had not heard a knock
at the studio door or the entrance of
an unannOunced guest. Nor did he
realize that two sharp eyes were scan
ming his work with that critical exam
inatiOn characteristic of the man who
knows art
Suddenly there burst from the visitor
such a shout as any Indian chief
would have been proud of.
Another and another shout echoed
through the studio Remington, start
ing back, dropped his brushes and pal
cite and turned in the direction of the
laundering voice.
"Ah, bah! My boy, open his mouth.
Make him shout. Make him look it.
Open his mouth. $685." And the
stranger gave vent to two more shouts
fit for the plains.
1t was Gerome, and this was his
method of expression in this special
case. Remington, in accordance with
his advice, "opened his mouth" and
as a result, instead of the slightly
parted lips, there is a face so full Of
enthusiasm, so expressive of a great
heartfelt thrOb giving vent to a cheer,
that when one sees the picture he is
prompted to the action of Gerome,
who made probably the most unique
criticism ever given on one of Rem
ington's best pictures.-Scrap Book.

those years [ was careful of it, and
faithfully administered to it's apparent
need. Yet, never bud or blossom

Of small bulbs, all thrifty and fine.
Now am hesitating whether to let
them alone tor another season, Or to
divide them and plant each one in

(Ans:-The clump should be divided
and the bulbs potted separately, using
strong, loamy soil, well drained
and a liberal amount Of pot room.
In potting place the bulb just so the

stantly moist while growing. In winter

Another Florida Industry.

The Gainesville Sun reports new
industry for Florida, that is the grow
ing of sweet potato plants Or draws,
as the growers in this part of the
state call them In the north, where
the season is short, all sweet potatoes
are grown rom plants grown from
sweet potatoes bedded in hot BEDS
In this section the growers prefer
vines, saying that they make better
crops than draws. The Sun says:
There seems to be no end to the
advantages afforded by Florida, espe-
cially this section, in either COM
mercial, agricultural or horticultural
nature. Men have made fortunes in
the vast forests and fields and COM
mercial pursuits, and one of the most
successful in the agricultural line seems
to be T. K. Cooley, of Waldo, who
makes a business of raising sweet po-
tato slips for the market
This industry seems a peculiar one,
in that it seems that farmers every
where should raise their own slips,
but they don't. A great many of them,
not only in Florida, but throughout
the Southern States, have been de-
pending upon Mr.. Cooley for their
supply of plants for years, and they
have not been disappointed.
Mr.. Godbey's fame as potato grow
er began about six years ago, when he
began to ship a few plants, or slips,
to customers in limited territory.
But his product gradually grew in pop

stimulant, whose action resembles
digitalis, except that it is less uniform.
Others among Doctor Kunze's large
collection which might be mentioned
are varieties Of opuntia, the common
prickly pear of Mexico, and second
variety of the hedgehog cactus. Every
variety which Doctor Kunze has
studied possesses some valuable quail
ity, and it is probable that further
study of this peculiar plant of the
desert will result in many new dis
coveries of it's uses. This farm has
attracted a great deal of attention
from botanists all over the country,
and is frequently visited by students,
who can here find collection of plants
which would require months to study
in their uncultivated state.
At Tucson, Arizona, the Carnegie
Institution has established a Desert
Botanical Garden, in which the cactus
family will be given quite prominent
place. The location of this garden
is also in the desert region, and the
various plants will be subject to the
same conditions as when growing
wild.
