Little MAUREE HARRISON.

Leakesville was shocked Sunday
Evening just after dark when the
news spread that Little Mauree
Harrison, the beautiful and win
some little tWo-year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. P. HARRISON,
had just expired. 1t WAS hardly
known that she was sick, as she had
but been seized the Evening before
Her father, the Hon. Pat. had just
got in that day from fatiguelng
fortnight of court work at Scranton.
When ne arrived she was live and
hearty, but before the sun set had
sickened with the disease, that with
the elapse Of twenty-four hours laid
h7r in a premature grave. She was
the darling of their home, having
gotten up big enough to have thor
oughly wrapped her charms round
her doting parents and grandpar-
ents, and numbers in town who
had gotten Intimately acquainted
with TIE playful and sweet little
maid. The disease was pulling;
being as one Of the physicians sta
TED it, of thai malignant type as
to cause death before its distinctive
character had developed. 1t resem-
bled membraneous Group most, but
had some features to suggest Dip
liberia, though there has been no
outbreak Of that disease in these
parts and no real probable expos
ure. The beautiful child was laid
to rest Monday evening in the Nc
Innis family Battle-Ground ada
cent to the NJ. E. Church South, yard.
The grief-strichen family have the
uns inted sympathy of the people
in all this country.

An G'PoS> um PerSimmon Hungry.

An O'Possum is a mighty big
fool about persimmons. A short
time ago j E. Miller purchased
some Of the large Perslmmons
known as the Japan variety, for
retailing. This was too much for
our slick tailed four legged friend
of the forest to resist. The odour
evidently reached his nostrils with
persuasion. not to be denied,
and which yielding cost him his
life. Brudder Postum sneaked
upon 1.-The front gallery of that
store boxing for dem great big
simmons and was chased under
the tore and caught and put in
the pot by Sport Green. Poor Pos
sum, victim ID his appetite.

TOMATOES IN WINTER.

The Best Way to Keep Them Safely
In Winter.
The most important conditions for
forcing tomatoes are: A warm light
house-one having a two-thirds span
facing the south being preferable
strong bottom heat, rich soil, careful
training, uniform temperature, care in
watering and pollinating and, as be-
fore suggested, good judgment and
constant watchfulness on the part of
the grower. Bottom heat is not abso-
lutely essential to success, but the crop
natures more quickly if given this
condition.
To make the best use Of the house
two crops should be grown during the

to congregate they can easily be ex-
terminated. The insects seem to be
attracted by the mixture as If it were
sugar Even the emanations of the
mixture are deadly to them. In one
large room in which the doctor tried
this method the number of flies killed
averaged 1000 a day.

Every ear of corn intended for next
years seed should be gathered and
hung in a well ventilated place to dry
by Oct 10. If you are dilatory in this
matter and wait until Nov. 20 before
attending to this most important bust
ness, you needn't lay it off on the Lord
next spring if the seed you have saved
doesn't terminate. Good horse sense
and Providence go hand in hand in q
good many instances, but in none more
than in the matter of a selecting and
saving of seed corn.

The notion is pretty well outgrown
that a frost works any real good to a
field of immature corn in the matter
of helping to ripen it. A heavy or
killing frost means death to the leaves
and hence death to the stalks Fol
lowing this, the juices in the stalk
turn sour and thus render little or no
sion of the starch which they contain.

A number of town boys we know
have this year spent the major part Of
their summer vacation working on
nearby farms and have as result of
their industry earned from $40 to $40
apiece. In addition to this financial
gain they have acquired a knowledge
of different kinds of farm work which
is both practical and useful and will
come in handy at some future time.
When these same boys attended the
county or state fair they had the sat
isfaction of knowing that they had
earned q vacation as well as that the
money they spent was their own.
Having spent the summer thus, these
boys are in a mood to take up their
school work with interest and zest and
will get much more good out of it.

utah FRUIT INSPECTION
State Board of Horticulture Seeks
High Standard for Pro-
ducts,

The state board of horticulture COM
pleted the work of it's annual meeting
yesterday. The rules and regulations
governing the planting and culture OF
fruit trees for the coming season will
be the same as last year and the same
policy with reference to these matters
will be continued. Several new formu-
las for the treating of fruit tree pests
were recommended for use to the grow
ers.
1t was decided that the board would
pursue a vigorous campaign of educa-
ton among the growers as TO the most
scientific methods of raising and mar
keting fruit. The institutes of last year
were productive of many beneficial re-
suits. and there will be more of them
the coming year.
The inspection of fruit trees in the
nurseries and in the orchards by off,
Gals in the employ of the state board
will be more effective than ever. The
growers realizing the importance of an
efficient fruit tree inspection, have
urged that the inspections for the COM
ing year be more stringent than ever.
The growers reported that there would
be more fruit tree planting this spring
than ever before in the history of Utah.
Greater care will be taken in the Sc
lecting and packing of the fruit, and an
organized effort will be made TO put
Utah fruit on the best markets in the
country

TO Be DECIDED
BY Referendum
Union Shopmen to Consider Rio
Grande Open Shop Pro-
position.

A referendum vote of the machinists
of the Denver & Rio Grande system will
be taken within a few days on the ac-
ton of that railroad in abrogating the
agreement with the employees of the
shops on the system after March IA. A
committee of the machinists' union
called on General Manager Ridgway
in Denver yesterday and in a short con-
ference learned that the intention OF the
company was to cease to recognize the
machinists', the blacksmiths' and the
boilermakers' unions after March IA,
and that following that date the shops
of the company would be open to union
and nOn-union labor alike.
The committee in charge of the mat
ter for the machinists decided to sub
NIT the matter to a referendum vote of
the local unions TO decide what action
the unions will take. There are $50
machinists on the Rio Grande system
Prominent members of the machinists
union declared yesterday that the men
would not submit to the plan of the rail-
road company and that general strike
on all of the Gould lines excepting the
International & Great Northern was
imminent.
1t was announced yesterday by the
management of the Denver & Rio
Grande railway that the wages of the
telegraph operators would be reduced
soon.
