TO LIVE AGAIN IN ROSES
Mortal Dust of Chicago Saloonkeeper
Planted With Bush. Roses
Are in Great Demand.

A Chicago dispatch to the Cleve-
land Leader says: Poetic sentiment
and loyal friendship, in a setting of
foaming "schooners' and a white
sanded barroom floor, marked the
preparation for the final rest of Geo.
Fleck, saloonkeeper. Twenty
trades unionists gathered in front
of the bar at 55 North Clark street,
behind which Fleck presided a week
ago, and, gazing solemnly at a tin
box upon the bar, drank to the toast:
Peace to his ashes"
Today the ashes were mixed with
the loan in which a tiny rose bush
has been planted. The blossoms and
flowers were handed over the same
bar to his former comrades while
they repeated the toast:
Peace to his ashes
Fleck for several years was bust
ness agent for the bakers union, and
leader in labor organizations. A
year ago he became a partner in the
saloon with William Vorsatz, former
ly business agent of the brewery
workers, and the place became head
quarters for trades unionists. The
friendship between the Cwo men had
existed many years.
When Fleck became i'll his partner
was unceasing in his attention to the
invalid until his death. Fleck s
body was cremated two days ago.

claim his ashes they may have them,

they will. He loved flowers, and he

BIGGEST IRRIGATION SCHEME.
A Canal One Hundred and Twenty
Five Miles Long in California.

A Canal One Hundred and Twenty
Five Miles Long in California.
The greatest irrigation scheme yet
conceived is that outlined by E. H.
Hartman to reclaim 100000 acres
of desert land in the Imperial Valley
of California. Between 100000
and $1O,OG2,00O will be expended in
the work. The plans call for an i'm
mense high line canal from a point
on the Alamo river 125 miles long,
and to cover approximately $500
square miles. With water this land
may become the most fertile on the
American continent.
Mr.. Hartman figures that sales of
railroad lands, redeemed by this irri-
cation project, will return to the
Southern Pacific the entire cost of
the canal and appurtenant works,
and will add 100000 to the popuIa-
ton.

FARMERS ESTIMATE OF CROP.
Shows a Decided Reduction in Cotton
Acreage This Year.


At the meeting of the state presi-
dents of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union in Memphis,
Tenn, few days ago the total acre
age of cotton planted May 80 was es-
timated at 28,S32,OOO acres as COM
pared with 31,311,OOO acres in 1907
government estimates). This esti-
mate is computed from reports from
all parts of the cotton growing states.
The reports showed the growing
crop generally to be in an unsatis-
factory condition. Lands suffering
from overflow, it is shown, are among
the most productive, and it is con-
sidered that hundreds of thousands
of bales have been lost to the plant
ers.
According to the reports the sea-
son is on an average of fifteen days
late, less of the area is chopped and
worked today than was the case in
1907, and weather conditions have
retarded the growth of the plant.

The senator attended the first

was late. Accordingly he slept late
next morning, Before he was out

sistently. 1t continued to ring at

UNIVERSITY FOR FARMERS
CREATING AN ARISTOCRACY OF
THE SOIL Is NEW WORK.
Wealthy Men Lend Estates to Chicago

Be the Worlds Greatest.
An aristocracy of the soil is to be
created by the University of Chicago
under new program adopted in pur-
suance of a suggestion from John D.
Rockefeller, its founder and chief
benefactor.
This is to be achieved through the
establishment of the University of
Chicago of an agricultural guild. This
is not a mere agricultural college at
gached to or affiliated with the uni
yersity. The guild is unique. The
course it provides is as different from
that in the ordinary agricultural ad-
junct to other universities as the
name guild is different from "col-
lege."
This guild" says Professor Will
Ham Hill, its director, aims to sup
plement, without duplicating, the
work of agricultural colleges by Civ
ing the practical training which their
limited equipment and different pur-
pose prevent them from providing
It offers graduates of agricultural
colleges and others desiring some
knowledge of scientific agriculture an
opportunity to perform on real farms
all of the operations involved in mod
8rn farming"
As training grounds for Professor
Hills young men ten wealthy Chi
tagoans have placed at his disposal
ten specialized farms" varying in
acreage from 200 to 1900, the total
embracing 5000 acres. Other large
farms are waiting to be added to the
list as the needs of the guild grow.
Requirements for naturalization in
the guild are rigid, but the trustees
announce that any college graduate
ought to pass them if he exhibits the
proper spirit with regard to work.
Once enrolled a three year course
awaits him. Part of the time he will
be engaged in field laboratory work
and practical farming on special
ized" farms.
Training on the Farm.
The apprentices course on the
farms, being transferred from one to
another as fast as he becomes prof.
cient in one or another branch, is out
lined by Prof. Hill as follows; in all
the various fields of specialized agri-
culture, as we'll as of general farm

Of farm machinery, in keeping farm

WAS HUNTING HIS CLOTHES.
'Wild Man" Who Was Taking Bath

A Evan, n. J., dispatch says: The
wild man of the woods" who has
been running about the woods sans

captured by Clarence and Raymond
Huff, who saw a nude man wander

They gave chase and had no

proved to be a well known citizen

off to take a bath in the creek, but
wandering down the stream for
deeper water darkness came on and
he was unable to locate his clothes.
The farmers helped him find them.

General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senpa, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That Is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

GOVT. CLERKS
REFUSE TO VOTE
Recent Ruling of Civil Serv-
ice Commission Fright
ems Them.
URGED TO RETURN HOME.
POLITICAL RALLIES BEING HELD
IN CAPITAL CITY FOR PURPOSE
OF ARousING THOSE WHO
VOTE AT HOME.
URGED TO RETURN HOME.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The mandate
of the civil service commission against
the political activity of government
employees in the classified service is
bearing fruit not counted on. The
clerks were given such a scare that
now they are afraid even to go home
to vote. At least those who are disin-
clined to journey from Washington to
their respective homes are offering
the civil service ruling as an excuse.
1t goes without saying the commits
sion had no thought of forbidding any
government employees who has vot-
ing residence elsewhere from exercis-
ing his right of franchise, but its man
date against "pernicious political &C
tivity" is causing lot of bother to
those committees of both parties
whose duty it is to see that merely
because a man holds a government
job he doesn't ignore his obligation
as a citizen and partisan.
Both parties maintain in Washing
ton elaborate organizations, under the
auspices of which political rallies are
held for the purpose of arousing the
enthusiasm of residents who are vot-
ers elsewhere, but the primary object
| of which is to see that the voters GO
home for election day. The railroads
give reduced rates for voters and in
a number of close states the expen-
| ses of those who cannot be prevailed
upon to return otherwise are paid by
the state committees. A recent esti
mate placed the number of democrats
| in Washington who have voting resi-
dences elsewhere at 5000. The mum
Der of qualified republican voters resi-.
| dent here must be considerably larg
| er.
| AS these voters are drawn from ev
cry state of the union, the number
from any one state, except Maryland
and Virginia, is not large, but in a
close contest every vote counts; sc
the doctrine is industriously preach
ed that it is the duty of every man
who has voting residence anywhere
east Of the Missouri river to return
and cast his ballot Voters from the
far West are not asked to take the
| journey except in drastic cases.
| That party managers are perturbed
over the reluctance this year of gov
eminent employees to go home to vote
is evidenced by the number of prom
inent speakers who have addressed
the residents of Washington on the
subject. Virginia has been sending
some of her most notable speaker rs
here to urge that Virginia expects
every man to do his duty" and Other
states have not been slow to follow
Virginia's example.
