The county road grader was put to
work on Central avenue Wednesday
and the ground thrown toward the
center of the street as much as possible,
it being too hard and stony to get the
machine Into the grouiid to any great
depth. 1t is the plan of Mr.. Trimble,
chairman Of the street, bridge and al
ley committee, to raise the streets in
the center that they may drain and
keep hard, and team and workmen
were put to haiiling in ground yester-
day morning.

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

Every hog yard should contain bog
of charcoal. This may be secured by
digging pit in the ground, starting
the fire at the bottom and as 1t progress
ses throwing in cobs and wood until 1t
Is full. When the fire is well started,
cover the whole with q piece Of sheet
iron. This mass will be thoroughly
charred in day or two and can be
taken out and used. Some feeders
make solution of twelve pounds of
salt and two pounds of copperas in a
pail of water and sprinkle over the
charcoal until it is pretty well saturat-
ed. Hogs will remain healthy and in
good condition with run on good
alfalfa and plenty of charcoal.

Camphor will not stop the rayages ol
moths in carpets after the insects have
commenced eating; nor will they
then pay any regard to the presence OF
cedar or tobacco. A good way in
which to kill them is to take coarse
crash towel and wiring 1t out of clean
water, spread 1t smoothly on the car
pet and then iron 1t dry with good
hot iron, repeating the operation on all
suspected places and those least used.
The process does not injure the pile or
the color of the carpet in the least, and
1t is not necessary to press hard, heat
and steam being the agents, and they
do the work effectually on worms and

teacher will be assigned to a high

But not in formal way. He is to
be sort of living example of Ger
many or English speech as the
case may be, aud this method OF
instruction will be that Of informal

thing. The seed will thus be hardened
off aud in condition to resist disease,
the shoots will make more rapid growth
and will be stronger, and in many
ways make better stand and greater
Yield of potatoes. In dry season like
this we would like to speak a good
word for the planting of the whole
seed by using u small tuber from four
to eight ounces in weight. This uncut
spud should be dropped singly in

placed fourteen inches apart with the

The cherry is one of the easiest trees
we have to transplant and grow If given
the proper treatment. Spring is the
proper time always to plant the cherry
and 2-year-old trees, four to six feet
high, are the proper size. We do not
believe in pruning the cherry at all.
If it Is given good cultivation and
plenty of room 1t will naturally make
a nice, open-headed tree and should be
left alone. There are few sweet cherries
that are half hardy-in fact we know
of but two that we can recommend.
One Is the Saylor cherry, which has
proven quite hardy and productive
throughout iowa. It is large white
cherry, very productive and hardy.
The other is the Windsor, which is d
dark-colored sweet cherry, originating
in Canada. Denver Field and Farm.

JUSTICE NOT TO BE SACRIFICED FOR SENTI-
MENTALISM.

Much maudlin sentiment has been called forth by the
couded and tragic ending of the life of udson c. Bruse
All who knew the deceased deeply regretted the untoward
circumstances of his exit from fes stage. And while IS
proper that the commendab traits of the deceased should be
extoed and his weaknesses buried in the grave there is
excuse pressing this the of casting unjust
Elections upon the living 1t is perhaps true that the humll-
iaon incident his charge of embezzng funds
Of the surety company that into his hands agent
preyed upon his sensitive nature and in fact bounded him
his death But to abuse those who evidently on
what deemed sufficient grounds accused him of wrong
doing and the judge for issuing the warrant of arrest is
indensbe from any standpoint This is the stopping
of sympathy and accomplshes good At all times and
under all circumstances moving within their legal
rights in the line of their duty with the exercise
of reasonable discretion not only entitled to, but will

ANTI-1NJUNCTION SNAG.

Party platforms sometimes shaped from motives of
pedency Iraher than principles The democrats in their
late state convention furnished striking example Of this
by inserting antinjuncton plank sop to draw the
vote of organized labor. This unseemy Irritation
that in labor disputes the writ Of injunction to be modified
in behalf of organized labor is than probable that
the national convention in Denver shortly will for
mulae in the direction. The party is sadly in need
of votes and will stumble coquettng with labor to the
debasement of the courts if such hold out the
promise of bringing the support Of their standard
It likely that they would dare to carry such
policy of class avorsm though they given the
power do So neither is it likely that vicious course
attempted be put in practice would be upheld
sttutional.
At Chicago the proposition to incorporate antin juno
ton plank in the republican national PLATFORM meeting
with determined opposition Such action, the
claim, would amount to reflection upon the sound judg
ent of the courts 1t would certainly be taken diver
gence from the broad and straight path satisfy particular
class and Offset the effect Of any similar plank the
element expect have inserted in the Denver PLATFORM
Courts occasionally but rule they be depended
upon do the right thing muzzling plank would not
improve matters.

laws Against Benaars.

Begging was a capital offense in
England in the days of Henry VIII,
when the laws were very severe
against beggars, and under n statute
passed in that reign any one caught
begging for the first time, being nei-
Their aged nor infirm, was whipped at
the carts tail. If caught a second
time his ear was slit or bored through
with hot iron. If caught q third time
he suffered death as a felon unless
some honest person having G10 in
goods or 40 shillings in land or some
householder approved by the justices
would take the offender into his serv-
ice for two years, entering into bond
OF E10. So the law of England remain
ed for sixty years. First enacted by
Henry VIII, it continued unrepealed
through the reigns of Edward and
Mary. Reconsidered under Elizabeth,
the same law was again formally pass
ed, the two legislative houses thereby
expressing their conviction that it was
better for man not to live at all than
to live the life of beggar.
