:. c. Howe, Who is Caught at
the Lake, is Shot in
the Legs.

r. c. Howe, who lives at Fourteenth and
Locust streets, was shot in the thighs
about 9 o'clock last night with a load of
buckshot near Cut-Off lake while on his
way home from SEEMING In the lake.
The exact circumstances of the shooting
are not definitely known, but according to
the story which the police have received
II is thought that the shooting was done
by two game wardens who were trying to
arrest Howe and some companions.
The wardens were Frank Brown, keeper
at the Rod and Gun club, and Frank Will
liams, manager of the Williams messenger
service.
1t is alleged that the wardens knew that
the men were SEEMING in the lake and lay
in wait for them as they went horne.
When Howe and the men with him APP
preached they were halted. but started to
run. They were fired upon and Howe fell,
nut got up and ran again, escaping. He
went To his home and afterward to the
office Of Or Lynch. who took him 60 the
Omaha General hospital, where he was
operated on. Twelve buckshot were taken
from his thighs, but it is thought his
wounds will not prove fatal unless lnfec-
ton should appear.
Both wardens and the alleged seiners dis
charged their guns. according to informa-
tion secured by the police detectives, who
investigated the affair Friday morning,
The shooting was witnessed by the con.
ductor and motorman of a Courtlan6
Beach ear. It Is said that three sacks OF
fish, a net and q shotgun were secured
when the offenders ran away.

to their death, they cried out:
Vive rEmpereur! There is no.
thing more touching in history
than this death agony bursting
forth in acclamations.
The sky had been overcast all
day. All at once, at this very
moment--it was eight o'clock at
night-the clouds in the horizon
broke, and through the elms on
the Nivelles road, streamed the
sinister red light of the setting
sun. The rising sun shone up
on Austerlitz.
When the tall caps of the
Grenadiers of the Guard with
their large eagle plates appear
ed, symmetrical, drawn up in
line, calm, in the smoke of that
conflict, the enemy felt respect
for France; they thought they
saw twenty victories entering up
on the field of battle, with wings
extended, and those who were
conquerors, thinking themselves
conquered, recoiled; but Well
ington cried, up Guards, and at
them!" The red regiment of
English Guards, lying behind the
hedges, rose up, shower of
grape riddled the tri-colored flag
tluttering about our eagles, all
hurled themselves forward, and
the final carnage began. The i'm
perial Guard felt the army Slip
ping away around them in the
gloom, and the vast overthrow
of the rout; they heard the sauve
qui peut! which had replaced
the vive lEmpereur! and, with
flight behind them, they held on
their course, battered more and
more and dying faster and fast
er at every step. There were
no weak souls or towards there.
The privates of that band were
as heroic as their general.
Napoleon gallops along the fu-
gitives, harangues them, urges,
threatens, entreats. The mouths,
which in the morning were cry
ing vive lEmpereur, are now
agape; he is hardly recognized.
The Prussian cavalry, just come
up, spring forward, fling them
selves upon the enemy, sabre,
cut, hack, kill, exterminate.
Teams rush off, the guns are left
to the care of themselves; the
soldiers of the train unhitch the
caissons and take the horses to
escape; wagons upset, with their
four wheels in the air, block up
the road, and are accessories of

debouch from the forest above
Frischemont rather than below
Planchenoit, the shaping of the
nineteenth century would per-
haps have been different. Ma
poleon would have won the bat
tie of Waterloo. BY any other
road than below Planchenoit,
the Prussian army would have
brought up at a ravine impassi-
BILE for artillery, and Bulow
would not have arrived.
1t was time, we have seen, that
Bulow should arrive. He had
bivouacked- at Dion lie Mont,
and started on at dawn. But
the roads were impracticable,
and his division stuck in the
mire. The cannon sank to the
hubs in the ruts. Furthermore,
he had to cross the Doyle on the
narrow bridge of Wavre; the
street leading to the bridge had
been fired by the French; the
caissons and artillery wagons.
being unable to pass between
two rows of burning houses,
had to wait till the fire was eX-
tinguished. 1t was noon before
Bulow could reach Chapelle
Saint Lambert.
Had the action commenced
two hours earlier, it would have
been finished at four o'clock,
and Blucher would have fallen
upon field already won by
Napoleon. Such are these i'm
mense chances, proportioned to
an infinity, which we cannot
grasp.
AS early as midday, the EN-
peror, first of all, with his field
glass, perceived in the extreme
horizon something which fixed
his attention. He said: Il see
yonder a cloud which appears
to me to be troops" Then he
asked the Duke of Dalmatia:
"Soult, what do you see towards
Chapelle Saint LAMBERT" The
marshall, turning his glass that
way, answered: -Four or five
thousand men, Sire. Grouchy,
of course" Meanwhile it re-
mained motionless in the haze.
The glasses of the whole staff
studied "the cloud" pointed out
by the Emperor.
Bulow, in fact, had not moved.
His vanguard was very weak, and
could do nothing. He had to
wait for the bulk of his corps
d'armee, and he was ordered to
concentrate his force before en-
tering into line; but at five
O'Clock, seeing Wellington's
peril, Blucher ordered Bulow to
attack.
Soon after, (the divisions of
Losthin, Hitler, Hacke, and Rys-
sci deployed in front of Lobau's
corps), the cavalry of Prince
William Of Prussia, debouched
from the woods of Paris, Plan
chenoit was in flames, and the
Prussian balls began to rain

In the days when there was nothing

these mountains came up-a long Is

OF the other continents had pat in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting Of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
Of the Alleghenies which were next
in order. Later the Rockies started
up. The United States grew south

AID IMMIGRANT IN LOCATING

In his annual address before the Ma

kane. President George f. Barstow,
said among other things:
"The National government has
passed law providing for the estab-
lisAment OF a bureau Of immigration.
to aid the immigrants to locate upon
lands for home building. but should
not the National government go step
further? Shall be regarded AZ preach
Ing paternalism or socialism when
suggesting that the duty OF the Ma
tional government may be found In
providing under proper safeguard u
fund which may be used to make
loans to enable this frugal and thrifty
class OF people to locate homes under
government irrigation plants. The
great cities are the maelstrom Of our
nation. Their citizens would soon be.
come effeminate and decayed. save as
they can draw upon our country and
simple life.
"There is too much unwarranted
prejudice against many OF the nation
alities coming to our shores.
"There are no doubt some OF the
people of each nationality undesira.

II desire to impress on you the I'M

of the nation demand that the re-
clamation fund shall be forthwith sup
plemented by the creation and
snle from time to time Of colo
bonds to the total sum of $5.O0O,OG
in order that much more rapid worh
may be placed in reclaiming the ma
tion's arid lands. This same principle
finds its application as to the reclaim

all these arid lands shall have been

ROOTS OF THE SUGAR BEETs

Moro and esttsr Cultivation
Deep at First.

Last year we began to investigate
the root system of sugar beets, be.
iieVinG that by 30 doing we could
more nearly come to some conclusions
as to the methods of cultivation.
AS soon as the small beet appears
ABOVE the ground. the top root has
attained length OF three to four
inches: from this time on tho growth
is very rapid. plants one week old
nave side roots two inches In length
The top root grows downward con.
tinually unless 1t meets with some oh.
struction. In that case 1t will either
grow sideways or become very

DC Dorne In mind that the main root
or Deet cannot draw any nourIshment
from the soil; this must naturally be
done by the small or fibrous roots
tnat are found on both sides of the
beet.
As we pull the beets, we find the
horous roots very short on the main
root 1t was found. however, that
these small roots at the time the
beets are seven to eight weeks old
run az Tar as Is to IS inches into the
rows. Thus we found that by cult

OF the root system OF the plant.
The main root or beet itself appears
TO have attained nearly all of Its down.
ward growth by the eighth week. that
is. after that time the growth I'm
length Is very slow. whereas the ex.
pansion or widening out of the root
takes place.
In many instances where we cut the
main or top root OF small beet of
two and three weeks OF age the plant

cutting. or died entirely; where the
same operation was performed on old

ticed. This In manner proved that
during the early period OF the plant 8
life the top root Is the root that aids
largely In supplying the necessary
food. after certain period this func-
ton Is lost and the duties OF support.
Ing the plant falls upon the fibrous
roots.
To cultivate properly we should de-
stroy as few roots rs possible: this
then means deep cultivation in the
early stages OF the beet's growth for
purpose of loosening the soil, and n
gradual shallow cultivation toward
the later part OF the season.
We have often seen fields where
farmers irrigate in order to keep from
cultivating: there is great difference
between the two: cultivation Is not for
the sole purpose of destroying weeds.
but to loosen the soil so that the roots
may penetrate 1t more easily and to
get air into 1t. BY irrigating We OBJ
tain just the opposite Of that which is
desired: we pack the soil and shut the
air from the roots.
The one great lesson that we must
learn more thoroughly than all else In
beet culture Is more and better cult.
