acnr,e Into the Garden"

Weeds are sly about eonfessing their ancestry. In youth they have the charm of freshness and promise de nied many fragrant flowers. and It is only when gripped to the earth with roots of iron and ready to set their progeny In delectahle grounds that they show their true colors.
 It is a puzzle how to tell friends from enemies. flowers from weeds. An observing eye. long about the business. may be gifted with an instinct and power to detect at once.what promises to be candytuft. what grass, what mas turtium. what rue. or piantain. or pop. pv. ar dandeiion. and far into the spe eics losing themselves in the disguise of similarity.
 By taking the garden seriously there Is variety enough to enliven the days \ package of lawn grass seed on well prepared lawn will in time arouse all the emotions latent In the human character. According to well laid plans and promises. il should be clover and lawn grass. An English friend persuaded the introduction of a pinch of daisy seed. and at the hour of the first weedlng tender heart suggested that no lawn was perfect without dandelion gold.
 One who would write book with many pictures on the distinguishing traits of first sprouts should be re war(Ied with the privilege of making many editions to follow the first sweeping sales. Plants have curious ways of beginning life. Those that start out rosettes become tall and spindliHs later: those that send forth threads develop woody stems

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The question Of opening more
streets involves the future growth of
this town almost as seriously as the
question of erecting more buildings;
but by all means there should be some
more buildings erected.
There is complaint about the quail
ity of the electric light that Is being
furnished in Yorkville at this time, and
inquiry Of Supt. Barnwell, develops
that the same trouble is noticeable ev-
cry year at about this time. He ex-
plains, however, that the trouble is
most noticeable from the time the
lights are first turned on in the even
ing until about o'clock, and thinks
that the trouble is due to overlooking
along the lines. The power company
can and does furnish all the voltage
that is desired; but the town being on
the same line with the mills, requires
to have lights of an even brilliancy, a
regulation apparatus that will cost
about $1.50O and he has not yet seen
his way clear to make such an invest
ment out Of the revenues that are
available.

THE object of the presidential trip
attention of the country, and inciden-
tally congress, to the great waterway
scheme that has been in the minds of
the residents of the valley from Chicago
The mighty Mississippi is navigable
from New Orleans to st. Louis. That is
boats may go up and down it; but it
is not at all satisfactory as a naviga-
BILE river. There are many places
where the bed of the river is higher
than the land on either side, and the
water has to be kept in bounds by
means of dykes. The dyke system has
been constructed by piece meal and il
is not at all satisfactory. The river
breaks over at different places with
every freShet, and is constantly chang
ing its course. At some points the
boat channel is not more than seven
or eight feet deep, and the general
demand is for channel of fourteen
feet. Ten feet would help things
nightly, but fourteen feet is the pop
ular cry. The work of controlling the
river will cost hundreds of millions OF
dollars There is no doubt about that;
but the people who are interested and
who are giving their attention to the
matter. insist that no internal i'm
provement that this country has ever
dreamed of could develop such incom-
prehensible practical value. 1t is pro-

Eu1IIRE COTTON DEALS.

TIL practice of selling cotton in the
summer for fall delivery has been
growing during number Of years, un-
til last spring and summers dealings
were probably the most extensive that
have ever been known in this state,
and the name of farmers who have
been stuck not only in York county, but
throughout the state is legion.
1t is hardly fair to say that there Is
anything morally wrong about trans
action of this kind. The farmer who
desires to sell his crop before it Is
made, certainly ought to have right
to do so. He has such right and it's
nobody's business, so far, as we can
see; but experience has proved that it
is not a very wise thing to do, for in
four cases out of five, if not in a larger
proportion Of cases, the seller is the

THE FLOWER SHOW.

The annual exhibition under the aus
pices of the Floral Society of the First
Presbyterian church of Yorkville, is in
progress in the court house today, the
doors having been opened at II O'Clock
this morning, after the arranging of the
exhibits and the awarding of the prizes
The floral productions now on exht-
bition show wonderfully creditable de-
velopment as the result of some ten
years steady and persistent effort on
the part of the members Of the society
and although there have been some
unusually successful and interesting
shows in the past, 1t is freely conceded
that in several Of it's features, this sea-
sons display excels all previous un-
dertakings.
The exhibits are more numerous, in
greater variety and include some finer
specimens, giving undoubted evidence
of the splendid educational value of
the long sustained campaign in behalf
of higher perfection in floral develop
ment. The names of the exhibitors to-
gether with the exhibits, are as fol-

PRINCE Hirobumi Ito, who was as
sassinated the other day, was probably
the greatest statesman Of Japan, anc
more responsible than any Of his con-
temporaries for his country's greatness
Up to the time Commodore Perry open.
ed the country, Japan was sealed tc
foreigners, and no Japanese was al.
lowed to leave the country under pair
of death. Ito managed to conceal him
self on a British vessel, and when the
captain threatened to put him or
shore, he said he would kill himself
unless allowed to remain where he was
He had been provided with money by
powerful prince and making his way
to London, spent year or more study
ing western government and western
ways of doing things. Finally return
ing to Japan he devoted himself to the
overthrow Of the party in power, anC
at length succeeded in attaining po.
sition from which he could exercise
great influence on the future of his
country. He had more to do with the
westernization of Japan than any Other
one man, and was greatly beloved by
the Japanese people.
