enough pecan trees to plant 200
acres of land on the company's prop
erty in the vicinity of Chaplin. The
trees were ordered from Florida and
will be set out this spring. The or
der is for 1000 trees and they will
be planted twenty to the acre. The
property of the company is located on
the new railroad in the artesian belt
near Chaplin and is well adapted to
pecan growing. Judge Noah Allen
of this city, who is president of the
company, states that the trees are
the finest varieties grown and the
company expects to devote a great
deal of attention to this branch of
industry, as well as to citrus fruits.
Pecans are successfully raised all
along the gulf coast and it is not to
be doubted, he thinks, that they can
be raised here very profitably
A Gun Toter and Vag.-In the
recorders court yesterday morning
Pedro Rodriguez, a Mexican youth
who has on a previous occasion
graced the city's temple of justice
with his presence, was given a fine Of
SO and trimmings for drawing an
un-deadly weapon upon an officer the
night before. Pedro had made the
mistake of taking his stomach for a
barrel house and consequently laid
in a greater supply of extract of Ken
lucky lemonade than he could con-
veniently carry. AS result some of it
went to his head and, when in the
neighborhood of the market house,
he became boisterous. When ap-
preached by officer Leal, Pedro drew
revolver upon him. The officer, de-
spite the formidable appearance of
the gun, ran the t'toter" in. The re-
volver, however, when examined in
the police court, was found to be as
safe a weapon as one would want to
have pulled on him, as upon being
shaken the trigger fell out and the
hammer ratified like two pennies in a
small boys first pocket The vag,
who gave his name as John Baer, was
arrested the same night by Officer
Dougherty and is the same one who
was arrested by this officer Monday
night and a pal" of the one arrest
ed the day before on charge of theft
from the person. The mayor orderd
the chief of police to give the gentle
man of leisure an escort of one po-
liceman to the city limits, with the
warning of woe be unto him" if ever
caught within the gates of the city
again and after giving him -four bits
Mex for meal sent the wanderer
to seek other climes. This makes
about the Sth or 10th vag that has
been arrested here in the past few
days, and the chief of police las de-
termind to make it so warm and I'M
pleasant for these dregs of humanity
that they will give Brownsville a wide
berth.

\ Grove on Every Farm.

The time is rapidly coming when
every farm in Iowa will have its
grove just as was done in early days,
when the people came from the heav-
lily wooded countries farther east
planted some trees to keep from get
ting lonesome. The reason for
planting the new groves will not be
the same as those for planting the
old ones, but be the reason what 1t
may, the trees will be set. 1t is be-
ing seen that in them lies the greater
profit than can be realized even
from corn, and that will no doubt
be the first reason for their culture.
While they are growing they are
sources of profit as shelter for the
stock in the summer time and for
yourself in the winter; and when a
, few years have elapsed they can be
harvested with a good balance in the
profit side of the account. Wood is
becoming scarce. The immense ma
tive forests with which this contin-
ent has been blessed have almost
disappeared. The old time lumber
man is almost forgotten. Plant a
/ few acres of trees and you will find
no surer crop and no surer profit
Every soil in Iowa will raise trees
so need not fear. Take the piece
of worthless pillow land. cut it out
of the pasture and put in trees. II
matters little what kind you select
Even willow will be source Of
profit, for it sells when brought tC
town. Cottonwood makes good
lumber for your future buildings
and slabs make fine summer fuel
Walnut is slower of growth but sells
for greater prices, and you can, l
you will, gather and market the nut
while the lumber is growing. Th'
tree industry is growing to be al
important one in America.-Charte

THE PRODUCTS OF IOWA.
Mammoth Productions of Hawkeye
State Would Fill Cars Reach
ing Eight Times Around
the State.

That Iowa is one of the most
productive states in the union can
not be disputed with authenticity,
and it is not until statistics of the
state have been thoroughly studied
that one is fully able to grasp the
enormity of it's farming industry.
The amount of winter wheat rails
ed in Iowa last year totaled 1875
$40 bushels; spring wheat, A., $685.
$50, making a total of 6,646,79O
bushels which would more than fill
6,647 cars. The total quantity of
corn raised in the state amounted
to 3O1,S73,150 bushels, enough to
fill 2S4,124 cars; oats, 112,S30,-
400 bushels, which amount will fill
60,336 cars; rye, S69,072 bushels,
enough to load S12 cars; barley,
10,629,290 bushels, sufficient to load
S,5O4 cars; flax seed, 461,5S0 bush
els, filling All cars; potatoes, TO-
65S,290 bushels, amounting to TO-
65S car loads. The state produced
1885, $40 tons or 5S3,S64 car loads
of tame hay, and 1,445,980 tons of
wild hay, which amount would load
144,59S cars. This makes the total
estimate of car loads 1,097,974,
which if placed in a single train
would reach for a distance of S,31S
miles, or practically eight times
around the entire state. Such train
would more than reach across the
ocean to London and back; from
New York City would reach beyond
Buenos Ayres, as we'll as Honolu-
lu, and would cover the distance
between New York and Yokohama,
Japan, by way of San Francisco.
If this vast number of cars were di-
vided into trains of fifty cars each
they would number 21,960.
Statistics have proven that Iowa
furnished about one-eighth of the
entire oat crop of the United States,
which would make this crop for
the entire country figure about
902, 64S,920, bushels, and if loaded
into cars and made into one train
would extend for a distance of
1866 miles. or entirely across the
United States. This being the case,
one would imagine that cereal COM
panies would experience no diff
ficulty in securing enough for human
consumption, nor that animals
would need TO live poorly for lack
of proper nourishment. If last
years crop of oats were to be divid-
ed among the SO,O0O,OO0 people in
the United States it would supply
them with about eleven bushels per
head, or nearly one pound per day
for each individual.

Fear of the Lord.

A group of aeronauts were tell

room of a Chicago hotel. Capt. H.
E. Honeywell, who, with the Field

THE great Elyot made balloon

storm came up. Elyot, amid buck
cts of rain, the roar of thunder and
the flash of lightning, was blown
about like a thistledown. On to-
ward midnight he found himself
over a plantation and threw out his
anchor-a grapnel at the end of
long rope.
1T happened that a negro had
died in one of the huts of this plan

place in the morning. A dozen

had the ill-luck to be seized by the
