How to Get Rid of StunpS.

great many stumps on 1t, III
every field were thousands of
them, and never having seen
stump-puller that we thought
successful, we were in a dilemma
TO know what was best to do.
We could not use improved farm
machinery to get our crops in,
and when in we could not use
machinery to harvest it, while to
get labor to cultivate the fields
without breaking tools was out
of the question.
CHEAPER TO PULL sTUMPs THAN
BREAK TOOLS.
One day when We were hoeing
with a force of hands an agent
for improved tools came along
who said he had been in New
York where farmers considered
it cheaper TO take up their
stumps than to work around
them and break up their tools.
This put me to thinking and
figuring. We had over one hun
dred acres of land that had not
been cleared long. We began
to figure first as to cost of brok.
en- tools, the jerking about of
our mules, the dread of laborers
blowing in those fields, how
much more it cost to work stump
fields than those that had none,
how much nicer it was to work
them with stumps out, how many
tools it would save, and how
much better our help would like
TO cultivate them, and how much
more grain we could make and
save by having the stumps out.
We figured it out that the saw
ing of our tools and stock, the
cheapness OF cultivation by i'm
proved tools, and the larger
crops we could make aud gather
would soon make up for the cost
of taking out our stumps Hence
we made up our mind to face
the task of taking up the stumps
from one hundred acres of fields
that had only few years ago
stood in heavy timber
SOME EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENTS
1 determined that all should
come. Not one was to be left
no matter if as little as a man g
leg or a blue white oak four feet
across the stump. AS | have
said, | had never seen stump
puller that [ had faith in, so it
was up 10 me as to how | was 10
get the work done. | hired soLIe
good hands, giving them twenty
five cents on an average for the
stumps they would raise after
we went over with sixteen
pound hammer and knocked
down all we could. We found
this unsatisfactory, as the hands
would take out the easy ones
leaving the worst, saying they
would 90 back alter them. They
would get their pay for what
they had done, and then 60.
Hence we abandoned that meth
od of lifting them We then 90
several good mattocks and show
els, and began with hired hands
by the day to lift them, This
we found expensive from the
.act that the work was burden
some and dirty. Too much hard
work too long at one place, aud
not making show, was the cry
ION them.
PRIZES AND DYNAMITE.
Finally we made a play job
out of it, and we lifted stumps
TO beat the band, and never will
we regret what we have done
from the fact that not stump
can now be seen in our fields.

BUILDING TRADE NOTES.

The bad weather during the past weeI
caused a drop in applications for per-
mits at the City Hall. Had the weather
been as good as it was the first part OF
the week there is no question but what
the number of applications for the week
for during the entire month of April.
The number of applications approved
and given on Monday and Tuesday last
exceeded the number given for the pre-
vious ten days.
Much activity is expected in the build
ing line during the coming week.
During the past week practically no
new work was started, owing to the
poor weather.
There is a large demand for one, two
and three family houses on the out
skirts of the city and in the suburbs.
Builders with capital will reap a har-
vest by looking into and supplying such
demands.
A permit recently granted to Charles
McHugh to erect a grand stand on the
Lincoln baseball grounds was rushed
through on record time, and the club is
now ready to accommodate its numer-
Gus patrons with comfortable seats to
witness their Sunday games.
The tenement house commissioners
are now occupying their new quarters
in the Union Building, IL Clinton street,
907 to 915. Captain Allen states
he is well pleased and now ready for
any business to be brought up before
the commission.

BUILDINGS WRAPPED IN PAPER.

Holiday packages not only but big
buildings are being wrapped up in
paper In the course of experiments
on protecting iron and steel structures
against moisture and atmospheric ero-
sion, when coats of various kinds of
paint were found to be ineffective,
trials were made to determine the pro-
tective power of paper impregnated
with parafiin wax. The iron was first
thoroughly cleansed from rust by
near of wire brushes, and q coat of
sticky paint applied. The paper then
"a pressed tightly on to the surface
of the fresh paint with the edges made
to overlap somewhat, and coats of
paint at once applied to the surface
of the paper. 1t was found tina iron
and steel thus protected remained in
the same condition as at first, after
constant exposure for twenty-seven
months to the action Of smoke, while
the sticky layer of paint on the metal
also was intact, and in some places
still not dry. 1t also was proved that
steel treated in this way could remain
in contact with moist air and
gases without it's surface being in any
way attacked.

NEW USE FOR CONCRETE.

The steamer George w. Elder, which
lay at the bottom of the Columbia
River for sixteen months, having
struck on a Jagged rock n stove sew
eral holes in her iron hull, has been
raised and repaired. Bulkheads were
built around the break by divers and
heavy canvas was placed over the rock.

heavy coating of concrete was placed
on the canvas, thus sealing the leak.
The water was then pumped out, and
the steamer noated. The wreck was
purchased for $40, 400 while on the bot
tom of the river. The successful wreck
raisers received $50, 900 and after repairs
had been completed an offer of $160,O0O

Held Up.

Friday night as j. B. and Frank
Anderson and Mr.. Ridgeway were
returning from the country and
leasurely pulling up Sees hill
they met (who afterwards proved
to be Walter Glascock of Philadel-
phia) a man standing at the head
of gray horse which was hitched to
buggy. When opposite the man,
he flashed a gun and cried halt.
The command had the effect of in
creasing the speed OF the auto.
Upon arriving in the city they
made a hunt for a man driving a
gray horse and found that Mr..
Glascock had left the barn shortly
before and after disputine a feed
bill.
Next day Anderson and Ridge
way took the hunt for their man
and finally located him in the pool
room. And then there was words
between Anderson and Glascock
and the words turned into blows
and Glascock was knocked back
wards and on to one Of the pool
tables.
To make a long story short, Mr..
Glascock admitted that he did not
realize the enormity Of pulling a
gun on a man at night and crying
halt on a country road. He begged
of and Mr.. Anderson let it 90 al
that.
Autos have rights on the rosd
and the law to back the rights and
unless one can prove criminal
carelessness upon the part Of the
occupants, one had better &

THE MIGHTY POWER OF MI-O-NA.

Mi-o-na, that extraordinary. and
perfect stomach tonic, will relieve
dyspepsia in. twenty-four hours,
1t will cure, and is guaranteed by
L. M. Wood to the readers of Mon
roe City Democrat to cure the most
pitiful cases of dyspepsia, if taken
according to directions.
Mi7o-na tablets not only cure
dyspepsia, but all stomach disturb
ances, such as vomiting of pregnan-
cy, sea or car sickness, and the
stomach sickness after excessive in
diligence.
Mi-o-na cures by Strengthening
and invigoratinG the flabby stomach
walls and after a course of Mona
treatment, constipation, if there is
any, will entirely disappear.
Read this from the president of a
New York corporation:
Il have been a terrible sufferer
from dyspepsia ard gastritis for
two years. The most eminent ply
sicians prescribed for me with no
effect. have been absolutely cur
ed by your Mona tablets. The
first one gave me a relief almost
incredible. Herbert H. Taylor,
sol West 143 Street, New York

week before last about a probable

Part of their speech you can't tell
one from the other, they are SO
much alike Hadley is bidding for
a certain Democratic vote and Folk
is bidding for a certain Republican
vote. Watch the mugwump press.

Save Us From Reiormera

Atchison Globe: The country is
full Of people who complain of i'm
asinary wrongs. We are always
hearing that the people are being
outraged. yet the people seem to
get along; it is safe to say the aver
age prosperity is greater in this
country than in any other on the
face Of the earth. One of the great
est wrongs the people suffer is the
whining Of "reformers" who want to
save the people from ruin that does
not threaten The wise men differ
as to our needs; the reformers do
do not seem to agree on anything,
except that the people do not know
very much, and need advice. AS a
matter of fact, however. the people
know very much more than the
wise men who give advice. A man
who has intimate knowledge of the
people must respect them"

Sis Hopkins Sayings.
BY Rose Mylville.

Tall men sometimes get short.
Some are mist and some get wet.
Jumping the bars is cheaper than
frequenting them.
A man can have a close shave
and not visit the barber.
American wives are help-mates;
French wives help farm.
A man can get served with a
writ without being able to write.
There is a difference between be-
ing cordial and drinking them.
Some men don't have to powder
their faces to look like clowns.
A good many who are in the
peerage really belong in the steer
age.
because a man hangs onto the
words of his sweetheart is no sign
that he shutters.
Ma says one of the advantages
of a low neck dress is that it makes
back-scratching easy.
Pa says it's easy to spend money
like a drunken sailor if you are
using somebody else'S money.
