A Plum for Delaware County.

have been thinking did the
farmers realize the benefit to be de.
rived from the Short Course School
of instruction talked of being or.
ganized here at the late Farmers
Institute.
Ii ! have the right understanding
OF it, it is thus: The Ames College
has offered to send us all their in.
structors on agriculture and man.
agement Of stock for week at some
date next winter free of cost to us,
we to pay their expenses, who will
give us instruction on how to Judge
a good animal and what is better
still how to produce and care for
them, and my friends, let me state
right here how to give them the
proper care and feed that will pro-
duce profit is what our farmers
need instruction in more than any
other point. We have large lot Of
fine stock in our county and vicinity
that is we'll bred and all that is
wanted to make prime marketable
animals and at a profit is proper
knowledge and care and this school
is established for that purpose, and
once established here will be worth
thousands of dollars to the commu-
nifty, in fact no telling the amount of
worth TO us.
The establishment of this school
will give US an advantage over other
parts of the state not having this
school in their community that will
be of untold value to our farmers,
their sons and daughters as an
educator at nominal sum. my
self believe that the establishing Of
this school will be worth an untold
amount in the increase of crops and
instruction as to how to feed SO as to
derive the biggest return to the
farmor that will attend this school.
Now don't think when the solicitor
calls on YOU for your guarantee to
establish this school, that this is a
contribution, as it certainly is not as
the returns will be far in excess of
the outlay, and l doubt very much
whether you will be called on to pay
more than a small percentage Of
what you guarantee, especially if
you will only put your shoulder to
the wheel and try to get your neigh
Dor to attend and have him get his
neighbor and SO on down the line
till every man, woman and child
has had special invitation to Join
the school.
1t is also my belief that this will
draw very largely from the north
east part of the state if it is only adj
vertised as it should be. This ad.
vertising need not cost any money
outlay as every county paper is only
too glad to bring before its patrons
the whereabouts of these schools Of
instruction, as a matter of news
which their patrons are interested
in.
Now let US do our best to estab.
lish this school in Delaware county
We have the land, stock and the peo
pie and all that is required is push
and small amount of outlay thai
will fetch US ten fold in return.

Bull Holds Up Royal Auto.

Madrid, Spain, Sept. 10.-An auto
mobile from the royal stables in
which Queen Victoria was driving
yesterday from San Sebastian to Bill
boa was suddenly confronted by a
large bull which planted himself in
the roadway in front of the Queens
car and compelled the chauffeur to
put on the brakes hurriedly and stop
the machine.
No collision appears to have oo-
Cured but her majesty is said to have
been greatly affected by the meeting
with the bull.
AS the sudden stepping of the royal
automobile threw the machinery into
disorder, the queen was compelled to
resume her journey to Bilbao in an
other carriage

figured in the prosecution it is ex-
tremely doubtful if Mr.. Bechtell will
be tried again. "-.

were accessible.

MAKE GOOD HAUL.
Tho Post Office Is Robbed and Money

Fargo, N. d., Sept. 1O.-In what

In North Dakota this season, a gang
Of yeggmen made a big cleanup at

jewelry and other valuables which
will net them close to $4,000.
In the Jackson general store, in
which the postoface is located, it was
necessary to blow the safe in order
to secure the money. Four reports
were heard by the residents, but no
Significance was attached to the

NO FALL BASEBALL
 PRACTICE THIS YEAR Many Candidates for Nine Are Out for the Football
 Eleven. I. A. D. JONES TIED UP Months Hard Work at the Field Will be Lost
 This Year.

Because of the fact that so many of she men who would be candidates for the baseball team are busily prac- ticing now for the football eleven there will probably be no fall baseball practice this year, Billie Lush and Captain T. A. D. Jones of the baseball nine have had several conferences in regard to the matter and final one will be held Tomorrow.
 Captain Jones, since he is quarter back on the football team, would be unable to give any of his time to the fall baseball work and among the oth- re candidates for both the nine and the eleven are Fred Murphy, Coy Howard Jones, Philbin, Wheaton, Coy and Bomar,
 Generally the baseball practice com mences as soon as college opens an6 the squad goes to the field, picks teaml and has nearly month of good stiff practice out of doors during the fall The practice does not cease until tht ground freezes up and it becomes SC cold that it is impossible to continue it any longer.

Louis Felsburg, Esq;
 My Dear Louis. I have received your letter and knew that this was coming; but you might have saved two cent stamp by simply sending me tele- phone message about the promise you claim l made the boys.
 AS time is money, and as you say, the leaves are about to fall; I thought it would be the best and easiest way to give this outing as soon as I can. so as to be discharged from that peculiar state of bankruptcy and therefore would say that ! shall be delighted to see the members of the orchestra and Dorscht lodge at my place, Pinehurst, Whitney avenue. on Sunday morning, Sept. 29, at il o'clock
 Of course my dear comrades and nu- sicians must not forget to bring their darling Instruments, but In addition I desire that they win be accompanied by their beloved wives.
 Knowing your genius as a master of ceremonies l must see you and inform you what we are going to have.
 Yours very truly,

WILL NOT BUY DAN1EnsoN LINE.
New Haven Road Does Not Regard It
 As Competitor.

Inquiry in railroad circles here shows that while the Providence and Danielson Street Railway company has been number of times offered for purchase or control to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, the latter company has no present in tention of securing the property which is one of the few independent lines in Rhode Island, and which did not come under the control of the United Gas Improvement company of PhiIadel- phla.
 The ground of refusal to purchase, 1t Is stated, was the fact that the road does not touch in its main layout any centers of population and while a long cross country line it does not own any important entrance into either Provl- dence or Daniclson, and is lateral to the New Haven Street railway system in Rhode Island and not a parallel or competitor
