AFTER CALHOUN JURY.
Examination of TaIesmen Is to Be
Most Searching.

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-Seven men
sat in the box when the examination
was resumed this morning in the trial
of Patrick Calhoun for bribery. The
attorneys for Mr.. Calhoun indicated
today that the attitude of business men
toward the United Railroads, before
and since the strike of the corpora
tons employees. would be closely in
vestigated before any talesmen would
be accepted.
The prosecution did not object to
this line of testimony, but emphatical-
~ protested when an attempt was
made to connect the name of Rudolph
Spreckels with an offer of immunity
and again when A A. Moore asked a
talesman if he knew that the defend
ant had been clamoring for trial
ever since his Indictment. The tilt
between Assistant District Attorney
O'Gara and A. A. Moore that ensued

quantities from Chicago, paying the To-

II IS true that the company which
represent purchased for the local COM
mission merchants last summer Every
car OF fruit which was purchased was
divided among five of the local commits

company. the S. E. Lux company. and
Whltteker Bros, each took a fourth of
each car local while the other fourth
was divided between Frank Cope and

BY this arrangement the local dea-

AT the present time we are buying

Several of the local commission men

Bondsmen of L. S. Guarantee & Fidel-

The appeal papers in the case of the
state of Kansas VS.. the First National
bank of Topeka and the L. S. Guarantee
and Fidelity company of Maryland have
been filed in the supreme court This
the Shawnee district court last April and
the state got a verdict against the bank S
bondsmen for $139. 600 of the states money
remaining yet unpaid as result of the
failure of the Devlin bank
The banks bondsmen in this case took
the ground that they were not liable 10
the banks depositors for the reason that
ex-State Treasurer T. T. Kelly had V1o-
lated the state law by keeping a deposit
account in the defunct bank instead of an
account for collections only as the law
provided.
In appealing the case the attorneys for
the bonding company allege ten points OF
error on the part of the Shawnee court,
the most important of which were, re-

Manager of Topeka Fruit & Produce
Company Becomes Owner.

Burrel Collins, who is manager of the
Topeka Fruit and Produce Brokerage
company, denies the report that his
company has gone out of business. In
stead he announces he has bought the
entire company from the remainder of
the stockholders, and will hereafter run
the business entirely independent of the
local commission men.
THE Topeka Fruit and Brokerage
company, of which I am now the sole
proprietor is not trust in any sense
of the word said Mr. Collins this
morning. THE company was formed
last spring to help the local commission
men. At that time there were many
deciduous fruits and vegetables which
could not be handled in Topeka in car
load lots, because no one cared TO take
that much stock Previous to that time.

Grape vines are not entirely hardy
here In the arid west and must there
fore be given winter protection. They
should be trimmed severely when
taken from the supports. Do not leave
more than three or four buds of the
new wood on each branch of the vine
saved for next years fruiting. Heroic
and frequent pruning is one secret of
success IN the vineyard. Cover the
vines with earth aud sometime during
the early part Of the winter with barn
yard litter which insures protection
and vigorous, fruitful plants for the
coming year. Blackberries and the
raspberries. with few exceptions, will
make better crop of fruit with quality
much improved when the bushes are
treated as suggested for the grape vine.
Heavy leather mittens with gauntlets
should be used to protect the hands,
with fork to hold the brush to the
ground while covering with earth. If
a small quantity Of soil is removed
from one side Of the bush 1t may be
turned down without breaking by
placing n fork In ground close to the
root on the other side and pushing
both the fork and the brush to the
earth. The plant Is thus turned in the
roots rather than by bending the
stalks which are inclined to break
when large and brittle. Rose bushes
and other ornamental shrubs may be
handled to good advantage by this
method. Field and Farm.
