HOW TO PRUNE TREES

The following directions are given
by Professor w. S. Thornber of the
state college at Pullman, for the
pruning of apple trees:
First Year.-Prune the one-year-
old tree to a straight whip, and cut
off just above bud which is Is to
"a inches from the ground. The
spreading variety, like Jonathan,
Northern Spy, etc., should be cut Off
a little lower than the upright grow
ing varieties, like Wagner, Rome
Beauty, etc. If the lower buds start
TO grow, rub them off early IN July,
otherwise the tree will need no fun
Their pruning until the next spring.
Slender stems may be thickenei b.
Ierr itting the lower bud to grow
until August.
Second Year. Select from lhree to
fire of the be5. placed limbs; cut off
the others close to the stem and
prune the selected ones back to from
one-third to one-half of their original
length, leaving the most central one
as leader, which should be pruned
from four to six inches longer than
the other. This will leave a proper
ly shaped frame upon which the
crown is to be grown.
Third Year.-Select from two to
three limbs for each branch of the
frame; remove the superfuous, brok-
en- or crossed limbs, and cut the Sc
lected ones back to one-half or one
third of their length. The leader
should still be maintained, and the
top carefully formed in order to pre-
vent heavy growth in undesirable
places.
Fourth and Following Years.-Re-
move all crossing, diseased or super
iuous limbs, allowing two or three
for each branch that was Left the pre-
ceding year. Thin the center as much
as possible, in order to permit the
sun and air to enter. In case OF very
long growths head in little, bnt
avoid heading back as much as pos
sible from now on. Summer prun-
ing may advantageously be employed
after the fourth pruning.

HILLS STEER THE CHAMPION.

w. s. Hill, of Alexandria, has a
number of his Red Polled cattle in
Chicago on exhibition at the Inter-
national Stock Show which is now
being held there. He writes home
to Alexandria friends that one of his
Red Polled steers has been awarded
first premium and the championship
of the breed of cattle in the show.
That is something of a big boost
for Mr.. Hills cattle, and he is a very
careful and conscientious breeder of
the Red Polled animals. Nor does all
the glory 60 to Mr.. Hill for it brings
South Dakota into much prominence
for Its stock interest when a single
breeder "a go to the great livestock
show and carry on the highest hon
ors in the show for his breed.
Mr.. Hill has been in the business of
raising cattle for a great many years
and he has developed his herd to. a
high state Of proficiency.

present on madden when he was call
ed in the case. He said that the / ss
mortem examination revealed the
presence Of some strong irritant in
his stomach. which was probably the
disinfectant. Deputy sheriRs Cook
and Bard, officers Spence and New
man. testified as to the immediate
facts about Madden's movements for
the past few days prior to his death.
The evidence all pointed to the fact
that he had used an excessive amount
Of the liquid, saturating his clothes
completely. and that probably it
had a depressing effect upon his heart
and other organs.
The jury rendered the following
verdict: I'VE, the coroner's jury in
the case of VIM. Madden, find that
he came to his death through poison
administered by his own hands,"

MARRIED At WHITE LAKE
John ]. Stevens and Res Palmsx
Married 1t White Lake and WIN
1.-Two in Mitchell for Present.

Out at White Lake Wednesday a
marriage was consummated which
had its inception in this city when
the interested parties were attending
Dakota Wesleyan University as stu
dents some two or three years ago.
The contracting parties were Miss
Rees Palmer, daughter of Editor and
Mrs. G. j. Palmer, Of White Lake,
and John J.. Stevens, of Mansfield.
The wedding took place at 1880
O'Clock in the Methodist church,
for the occasion. Preceding the en-
trance to the church of the bridal
couple the wedding march was play
ed by Miss Nina Hager, of Huron, a
cousin Of the bride. Arriving at the
altar they were met by Rev. DR.. G..
p. Hager, uncle of the bride, district
superintendent, of Huron, who per-
formed the ceremony. The wedding
Was attended by a number of the
young friends of the couple.
They arrived in Mitchell this morn
ing on the west passenger and then
Went south to Sioux City on the de-
layed north train. They will be
gone about two weeks on an eastern
trii, and will come back to Mitchell
to remain for about three months,
while Mr.. Stevens pursues a course
in vocal music at Dakota Wesleyan.
The bride attended Dakota Wesley
an for several years and was very
popular with the University girls as
we'll as those down town. A year
or reore ago she filed on a claim in
the Belle Fourche country and during
ser residence there she conducted
newspapers in that section, do
ing al her own work on the paper.
1t was quite an undertaking for her
but she completed her task and when
she proved up she disposed Of her
papers and came back to civilization.
Mr.. Stevens while attending the
University was in high favor with
the student body. He was among the
principal athletes of the institution
and was counted upon to help bring
in the victories.
After Mr.. Stevens completes his
study at the University in vocal mus
ic he expects to find a location at
point in the state.

WHOLESALE ENTERPRISE
Manhattan Oil & Linseed 90. Leased
Ground and Will Erect Build
ings for It's Business.

For a matter of some three or four
months the Commercial Club has
been in correspondence with w. M.
Jacobson, the secretary and %treasur-
er of the Manhattan Oil & Linseed
Co. relative to locating in Mitchell
with IN extensive branch Office to
handle the business of the company
in the central and southern part OF
the state. Mr.. jacobson has been
here several times looking owe the
ground to secure a location for the
plant, and comparing the conditions
and trade territory with other points
in the state. The Commercial Club
has used every possible effort to
bring the company's branch to Mitch
ell, and this morning Commissioner
Ness was gratlfied to receive a letter
from Mr.. jacobson stating that the
| company had decided to put it's big
distributing plant in Mitchell.
While here on different occasions
Mr.. jacobson had a conference with
Robert Lyle with reference to secur-
ing ground for the plant in the Home
Park addition. These gentlemen
have finally reached a definite con
clusion and sufficient ground was
granted by Mr.. Lyle to the company
for their plant, which lies directly
north Of the Lytle company's bailaing
Locating there the new company viii
have excellent trackage facilities for,
handling its outside business. which
in the time to come will doubtless
reach quite q magnitude.
A building will be erected and al
SO storage tanks, which will require
the presence Of several men to oper-
ate. while two travelling representa-
tives will be placed on the road to
sell the products of the company. It
is the intention of the company to
put an oil wagon on the streets of
the city to sell oil and gasoline to
local consumers.
1t is the intention of the company
to start constructive work on the site
before the first of the year to have
things ready for operation just as
soon as possible.
The headquarters of the Manhat-
tan company are located at Mime
apolis, and it is regarded as one of
the strongest independent Oil com
panies in the country. The coming
of the branch of this institution to
| Mitchell will doubtless have a good
effect on other companies which are
looking for headquarter points. The
representative of the company stat
ed that Mitchell was selected as the
headquarters for the reason that it
offered peculiarly good advantages
for distributing the products, in that
it had good railroad facilities and
that it was located in such a pros
porous portion of the state. The field
of business west of the river appealed
strongly to Mr.. jacobson just as it
will to any person who is looking to
the future building up of the state.
The location of a company of the
importance of the Manhattan cannot
help but have a strong influence in
the bringing of other companies.
The Commercial Club is entitled
to congratulations for the success that
it has attained in landing this bust
ness enterprise for Mitchell. and. the
members feel confident that in the
near future there will be others add
ed to the wholesale district of the
city.

ELks' MEMORIAL SERVICE
Elks Gathered in Their Annual Mem.
orial Service Sunday Afternoon
to Pay Tribute.
to Pay Tribute

1t was a fine tribute Of respect
which was paid by the Elks Sunday
afternoon to their departed brothers,
who have passed to their home be-
yond.
A large number OF the brethren
assembled at the hall and marched
in a body to the Gale theatre, where
the memorial exercises were held.
They occupied the seats reserved in
the front of the auditorium, and
many visitors occupied the seats in
the rear. The officials of the lodge
were seated on the stage, where Ex-
allied Ruler Milne presided owe the
exercises. The lodge was opened un-
der the ritual of the memorial ex-
ercises, and a quartet number was
rendered by Misses Florence Morris,
Nina Hager, NJ. R. T%ournier and w.
B. Gormley, with Mrs. Maude Silsby-
Nichols at the piano. They sang one
other number, and Mr.. Tournier rem
dered a very appropriate solo. The
invocation was given by Rev. F. B.
Barnett.
During the reading of the ritual
the exalted ruler asked for the roll
call, and the names of the following
were read: Brothers Flemmer, Bar,
nett. Mckinley, Schmidt, and Woods,
the three latter having passed away
within the year.
:, The address Of the afternoon wa
given by o. L. Branson. and Il wa
an effort that was greatly appreciate
ed by the members and those outside
of the lodge. In the tribute to the
memory Of the deceased brothers he
praised them highly for emulatinE
the principles Of the lodge. Nj. Bran
son spoke with great earnestness
concerning the part that each Is to
perform in this life, and that it was
one of the greatest problems Of the
day. In referring to what is con-
sidered among the greatest things
of the world, MI. Branson enumerat-
ed many Of the inventions which had
come to pass, but he considered that
a new life brought into the world
was the paramount thing.
"It is our great duty" he said, "to
guide that life from childhood, to
mould its character so that 1t will
be charitable in its dealings with
men, that its judgment and criticisms
of men will be leient. The trouble
with most men is that they are quit
tiers. We will never learn to win
until we learn to lose. A man may
start out with a brass band to give
him the start. and when he gets his
first bump he drops. I have a great
sympathy for the man who loses, but
with him down and making no effort
to get back on his feet changes ones
opinion quite %perceptibly. The world
hates a gutter and the gutter usual
ly hates the world. The demand to-
day is for men of upright and honest
character, men of patriotic impulses
to lead in peace, and not in the bat
tie of bullets. With combined wealth
on the one hand and the people on
the other is the spectacle which con-
fronts the people of today. There are
men with all the necessary charact-
e%ristics who are coming forward to
lead in this battle, which I believe
will end on the side of right"
In closing MI. Branson spoke in
deep earnestness of the men who are
on the other side of the meridian of
life, who are approaching the time
when they will be numbered with
those that are gone.
