The result is keen interest on the part
of the public in every new system or
city government that offers some way
of administering tho city money for
the city's upbuilding, instead of alb
sorbing 1t all in the process of adj
ministration. The Galveston plan is

ing 1t is developed. II Des Moines

ties, the people of Salt Lake are al

of Des Moines. If the graft game is
finding it's Spreckles in San Francisco,
the hunt finds its keen interest in Salt

working hand in hand for better

Another matter of public thought Is
that concerning candidates. Tho name

not politician. What party he be-

porters. His interest in national poll
tics or in national candidates is Il mat
ter in which they concern themselves
but little. But he wants good roads.
The people who want good roads have
been watching him. and they now want

Without a doubt the apple which
caused Rhode Island to be the hest
known in genealogical circles is the
Rhode Island Greening This is a very
old variety and was early disseminate
co. as we find it given several names
IN the first works upon American fruit
culture, thus showing that at that time
It was a popular kind, for it is a rule
that the more widely disseminated and
popular variety the greater the number
OF synonyms attached to 1t. Downing
In his Fruits and Fruit Trees of
america gives five synonyms for this
variety.
ORIGIN is IN DOUBT.
As to the origin of the apple there
Is much doubt. several theories having
been advanced as to the place of IFS
nativity That 1t Is a Rhode Island
variety there seems to be no doubt.
The exact locality OF its origin how
ever, IS I'm question
Both of the orchards mentioned
above must have been producing fruit
when this variety commenced to at
tract attention, out there Is no evidence
that the origin of this variety was I'm
any way connected with either of
these orchards.

NEW YORK.

Buyers are more in evidence and as a
result business has expanded measurably
at leading western and Pacific coast
points and at a few southern centers.
Some western cities note evidence of new
life in buying by southern and southwest
ern merchants of fall and winter goods.
Incidentally some new stocks are reported
being bought at Chicago, which is rather
in contrast with a year ago, when COM
ing depression had already, begun TO make
for precaution in embarking in new en-
terprises.
Despite the improvement, however, the
volume of business doing does not equal
that of last season and conservatism and
caution still are visible. Retail trade is
dull the country over. Industry tends TO
increase in activity, though slowly. but
current production is still below anticipa-
tons in many instances.

MYSTERY IN PASTORS DEATH.
Suicide, Say Neighbors, but Coroner
Thinks Killing Accidental.

Rev. o. b. Milligan, who has been pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church of
Canton, Ohio, for thirteen years, met
death the other day shortly before noon.
from a gunshot wound in the heart. At
the time he was in his study without
coat, vest or shoes. His hammerless
double-barreled gun was found resting
with the butt on his child's rocking chair
and the muzzle beside him in the leather
chair in which his body reclined in death.
The coroner gave a verdict of accidental
death, while it is the prevailing opinion
of neighbors that the act was suicidal.
1t is known that Rev. Mr.. Milligan had
been suffering from insomnia for several
months. Mrs. Milligan has been at the
bedside of her sick mother in Waterford.
Conn. Rev. Mr.. Milligan was we'll known
as a pastor and as an ardent lover Of ath-
letics. Some think he may have been
preparing his gun for a hunting trip when
he was accidentally killed.
