Taking the state as a whole there
is promise of at least 75 per cent of
a fun crop of peaches, and at least
"a 80 per cent crop of apples. If
these promises are fulfilled it will
mean the largest fruit crop by far
that the state has yet produced and
one which will tax the growers, as
well as the railroads, to the utmost
TO take care of.
Some valuable lessons have been
learned, all of which tend more and
more to put the growing of fruit up
on a stable basis. We now know
that no locality in the state is en-
tirely Immune to damage from frost.
Orchards which heretofore have es-
capped suffered some injury. while
those in more exposed locations in
the same locality We're not damaged
in the least
The value of orchard heaters was
again demonstrated and the superior
ity of oil over coal as a fuel for this
purpose has been clearly shown. A
satisfactory coal pot may perhaps be
constructed; but the experience with
the present forms tend to show that
coal fires are too slow to start and
that the pots require too much at
tention to keep an even fire burning.
The season also demonstrates that
there are no apple and peach-grow-
ing sections in the United States that
are immune to frosts. The writer has
received reports from number OF
states both east and west. and, so far,
Michigan and New York seem to have
escaped injury Most of the states
have not fared so well as Colorado.
Our fruit growers have much rea-
son to congratulate themselves, not
alone on the prospects of big crop,
but that there is no place in the
union better adapted to the growing
of annual crops of fine fruit.-W.

There is not a man of them bur
who is on the best, friendly terms
with Mr. Taylor and his men. They
respect them as gentlemen, person.
ally We know MIR. Taylor and his
foremen to be gentlemen of the high
est class.
These sheep were in the sheep ter

wanted them to be; where they had
"A perfect right to be. and where it
has long been agreed should be

A little over year ago Mr.. ClarlS's

manner and in daylight. Since that
time Mr. Clark has never encroached
on the "cattle territory"
Mr. Taylor and the cattlemen CEN

has asked that when his sheep got

but went about a mile and killed Mr..

1t is a we'll known fact that the
sheepmen of Utah and Montrose have
been on very unfriendly terms for the
past year. and there has been eonsid-
erable friction between the two inter
ests relative to pasture. If cattle
men killed Mr.. Taylors sheep, they
were irresponsible cowmen hired by
other sheep men to do the work.

RICE IS KING AT STUTTGART.
Ladies Given Credit for Promotion
 of Successful Carnival.

Stuttgart.-The floral and trades parades at the rice carnival in this place were far better than had been anticipated and were repeated for the benefit of the thousands of wis itors present.
 That rice is king at Stuttgart was easily discerned; the valuable cereal was to be seen everywhere in the decorations and displays for the oc- casion.
 The good ladies of this city are given credit for arranging the successful rice carnival which has at tracted the attention Of thousands of people throughout the country to the wonderful growth of the rice in- dustry to this section of the state.
 The flower parade was headed by the carnival queen and escort; and a well crowded baby show attrac- ted the attention of the crowd. The progressive merchants and business men of Stuttgart presented very creditable trades parade, the floats being arranged to best represent the business engaged in, and at the same time emphasis was added to the importance of the great and grow ing rice industry.
 The combined parade was about three-quarters of a mile long, and was headed by the Second Regiment band.
 The culinary department, where it was possible to obtain a sample of rice cooked in almost every conceiv- able form, and all quite palatable, was the center of attraction.
 The big event closed with a mask ed parade and confetti battle, which afforded plenty of amusement for all who remained to witness the close of the carnival.

Arkansas City-The big canal of the Desha county drainage district is open, and millions upon millions of gallons of water flows from a sec tion which will rival the famous Mis- sissippi delta country for fertility when placed under cultivation.
 The canal is nine miles long. sixty five feet wide and fourteen feet deep. A territory of 120,000 will be drain ed. A large portion of the area is covered with virgin oak timber of a magnificent quality, and the soil Is the peer of any that is now avail able for agricultural purposes in the southeastern part of the state.
 The draining of Boggy Lake and the possibilities of projects of this kind, has developed scheme in Chi cot county for the drainage of Ba- you Macon, into which the Desha dis trist empties, and the construction of laterals in the surrounding country to drain all the territory now inun. dated

 Before the dam was blown out the property owners in Chicot county be- low it, fearing that the rise of water might damage them, prepared mo- tice to the Board of Commissioners of the drainage district that they would be held responsible if any damage resulted. The notice dld not reach the commissioners, however. until after the dam was blown. It is declared that no damage has been done property below The dam.
 The action of the Desha drain age district is being wacthed with interest, not only by the people in the territory affected, but by others.
 If the Bayou Macon section in Chi cot county is drained it will be one of the richest areas in the whole country.

BIG BONUS REQUIRED
BOARDS GOVERNING AGRICUL.
 TURAL SCHOOLS MEET.
Officers Chosen for the Ensuing Year and Prominent Educators De-
 livered Addresses.
Little Rock, Ark.

An enthusiastic meeting of the di rectors of the four schools of agri- culture to be established in Arkansas was presided over by Governor Don aghey. In addition to the members of the boards, there were present a number of persons interested in hay the schools located in towns which are offering a bonus.
 Dr. D. J. Crosby, of Washington, D. C., special representative of the department of agriculture, Dr. c. F. Adams, dean of the college of agri- culture at Fayetteville, State Super intendent G. B. Cook, of the depart ment of education, and many other prominent educators were present.
 Dr. Crosby gave a timely address before the boards, laying stress on the matter of beginning right in the matter of agricultural schools, prop erly correlating the schools with the other educational institutions, secur. ing coherence among the several az. ricultural schools, and acting under a general head with uniformity of purpose.
 Following an informal conference in the office of the governor, the various boards met and organized.
 It developed that a bonus of no small proportion will be considered, in view of the importance of the institutions themselves and in view of the fact that a strong competitor has already developed.
 The officers elected to serve the several districts for the first year were as follows:
 First District-J. J. Bellamy, Law renee county, President; J. B. Lew- is, Craighead county, vice president; Dr. o. N. Hammitt, Greene county. secretary.
 Second Distriet-W. U. Balkman, Logan county, president; J. R. Will ians, Franklin county, vice pres ident; H. s. Mobley, Washington county, secretary.
 Third District-J. T. M. Holt, of Hampstead county president; J. E. Rogers, Columbia county, vice pres ident; Samuel NJ. Samson, Pike coun- ty, secretary.
 Fourth District-James Gould, lief ferson county, president; 1. A. Byrd, Drew county, vice president; H. w. Bowers, Lonoke county, secretary.

FINE GRADE OF COTTON.
Arkansas Produces Best Staple Found
 on the Market.

It is matter of considerable pride of such high grade as to excite the admiration of the most discrimina- ting buyers.
 T do not believe there is a state in the South which produces any bet ter cotton than Arkansas said a buyer for export. Tt is also true that some of the Arkansas cotton is as poor as the poorest. You can find anything in Arkansas cotton from the short lint with a poor body to a long lint of fine grade"
 Sales of cotton at 20 cents a pound have been reported, a lot of POI bales sold for s20,100, an average of S100 per bale
 The best cotton grown in Arkan- sas is of the long staple variety, and grows along the river bottoms. The Mississippi, Arkansas, White and Red river bottoms produce the greater number of bales which bring fancy prices. A fancy staple must possess a long lint and a silky but strong fiber, and such cotton can only be grown in the heavy black lands near the larger streams.
 The Arkansas river in Pulaski county meanders over about sixty miles of territory. Counting both sides of the stream the Arkansas has water front of practically 120 miles and is very productive as a cotton area. In this section some of the finest cotton grown is picked each year, comparing favorably with the delta product, and that particularly fine staple from the Sea Island sec tion in Florida.
 Nearly every bale of cotton raised in Pulaski county is sold in Little Rock, and when the bales of fancy staple come in there are plenty of buyers ready to pay the fancy price.
 Dealers at Hope, Pine Bluff and Helena buy more fancy bales than are purchased in Little Rock, and this season cotton has sold at Hope as high as 23 cents per pound.

WRECK ON FRISCO LINE.
Nineteen Persons Injured When Cars
 Leave the Track.

Rogers.-Nineteen persons were in- jured in the wreck of Frisco pas senger train No. II, which left the track about two miles north of thihs place.
 Spreading rails caused the wreck of the train, nd the engine turned completely over after blowing along for distance of fifty feet, which gave the engineer and fireman time to jump and save their lives.
 The baggage car, mali car and one coach turned over on their sides. The track was torn up and traffic delayed for 12 hours.
 The persons injured received med ical attention from the physicians of Rogers, and most of them were able to continue their journey.

The first sermon in the county was
preached in the summer Of 1872 by Rev.
Mr.. Penny of the Presbyterian church.

When the first court was held in Nelson,

Next to Thayer county, Nuckolls suf-
fered more from Indian raids and depreda-
lions than any county in southern Ne
braska. In the great Indian raid Of August

Mr.. Comstock, was the only place in
Nuckolls that held out against the Indians.
Superior pays about one-fourth the en-
tire tax that goes into the county treasury,
and is the first city of the county.
A few short years ago nothing but
wooden buildings could be seen and they
were small and inadequate. Today we Find
a city of business houses substantially
builded of brick and stone and occupied
by enterprising business men. Superior has
made a phenomenal growth in the last fif-
teen years. The brick used in the con-
struction of these blocks was produced by
its own brick plants and is as good as
can be produced anywhere. It's sidewalks
are largely brick and cement and as fast
as possible old board walks are being re-
placed by new brick ones. The boom days
are now past and Superior has come out
smiling and prosperous and it's citizens are
sill as firm as ever in their determination
to push the town. The growth now is
steady and substantial. The onward march
Of Superior is backed up by the country
that surrounds it. Every year sees more
good farmers filling good farms, more cat
tie grazing and being fed for market and
more fat hogs going to market to fill the
golfers of hustling stockmen. To visit
Superior and the valley tributary is to at
once desire to make a home with this peo-
pie.
The experience of nearly all business men
teaches that well graded and improved
wagon roads for a distance of five to
twenty-five miles from a trading point like
Superior add more to its business inter-
ests and permanent growth than any other
one thing hat can be done. The Com
mercisl club is a live body of business
