IRRIGATION OF AN ORCHARD
Too Frequent Applications Of Water
Results In Great Evil Of
Surface Roofing.

One of the frequent evils resulting
from too frequent application of water
on heavy soil is surface roofing. Be
cause of the swamping of some val.
liable lands in northern Colorado from
heavy irrigation some orchardists
adopted the plan OF giving light, but
frequent irrigation. The result was
That when the water was applied dur.
ing the spring months. the ground was
by turns over wei and then baked and
the roots growing so neal the surface
were badly injured In the fall and
winter. Another result was that the
overstimulated growth and humid con-
dition of the air made an ideal condi-
ton for blight and many orchards
were nearly ruined. 1t Is evident that
II we are to successfully initiate the
best natural conditions the moisture
must be thoroughly diffused over a
great depth of soil and never be very
wet, or at least as seldom as possible.
and get the surface dried out and mel
lowed as quickly as possible after
such wetting.
To accomplish this the water must
be allowed to flow In deep burrows for
from SO to 4S hours. Care should be
taken to have the burrows close
enough to insure the whole width Of
sub-soil being wet. The less the sur
face Is wet the better. When there
are resets in an old orchard 1t will be
necessary for the irrigator to provide
short branch burrows to bring the wa,
ter much nearer the crowns of the
young trees, as their feeder roots are
SO much shorter. With good cultiya.
ton on deep soil two or three such
MEETINGS a year will be found sufl.
cient for apple and pear orchards and
from none to one or two for cherries,
plums and the peaches.
AS for the time for the wettings the
first for apples and pears should be
given in the spring unless we have
abundant rainfall, when it should be
omitted entirely. The second should
be given when the fruit is maturing;
the third should come after the wood
has ripened. These like the first may
be omitted II there is heavy rainfall
at these times sufficient to wet the
ground W or more feet deep. Again,
IL a fall irrigation Is required and a
cold winter follows, none Is required
In the spring. 1t can be safely said
that on good, deep soil, with good till.
age three good irrigations a year will
always be sufficient. On porous, grav.
ely soil, with the same tillage from
six to ten may be needed.

DESCRIBES DEATH
OF MARTINS WIFE
Nurse Testifies Fresno Physician
Did Not Kiss Dying
Mate Goodby
(Associated Press)

FRESNO, Nov. 2.-After occupying
the witness stand for two days in sue
cession in the trial of DIR. Jackson l..
Martin, charged with neglecting to
provide his wife with proper medical
attention while in a dying condition,
Mrs. Alice Britain, sister of the late
Mrs. Martin, testified again today for
the prosecution. She was excused
shortly before noon to permit the pros
ecution to call Mrs. Minette March, a
nurse who attended Mrs. Martin dur
ing her last illness, but was recalled
to the stand in the afternoon for re-
direct examination. The defense OBJ
jected strongly to some of her testi-
mony, but the court overruled most of
the objections.
The prosecution will close tomorrow
morning with several hypothetical
questions dealing with the customary
conduct of physicians in such cases.
Mrs. Alice Britain sister of the de-
ceased Mrs. Elizabeth Martin, occu-
pied the stand part of the afternoon.
She testified that on the lonely ride
back to Chillicothe, Mo-, with the re-
mains of her sister she urged DR.. Mar
tin that his failure to go all the way
might lead her father to go to Cali
fornia to investigate his daughters
death. DR.. Martin then replied, she
stated, that she had better keep the
old man at home II she did not want
him on her hands.
Mrs. NJ. Marss a trained nurse en-
ployed by Mrs Britain for her sister
was the next witness. She told Of
the last moments of the wife of the
| physician.
won't you kiss me goodby, Jack?"
| pleaded the dying woman in moment
J of consciousness, testified the nurse.
Either the physician did not hear or
refused the request.
AS Mrs Martin sank back on the
pillows her sister stepped quietly up
and printed a kiss on her forehead,
hoping she would think that kiss her
husbands.
DIR. w. w. Cross, a local physician,
testified that in such cases it was Gus
tomary to employ a trained nurse.
Assessor c. p. Cummings was called
and testified that DR.. Martin had valu-
able property here and was a man of
considerable wealth.

FORMER OFFICIALS OF

CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The prosecution
of Frank II. Hartman, Charles L. Ew-
ing and J. NJ. Taylor, former Illinois
Central officials charged with conspir-
aey, advanced 8 point here today when
Judge Bruggemeyer, who has been hear
ing the case in the municipal court. or
dered the defendants held TO the grand
jury.
Immediately attorneys for the defense
obtained a writ of habeas corpus from
the superior court. They claimed that
the action of Judge Bruggemeyer was
In defiance and contempt of previous
writ Of habeas corpus. The hearing on
both petitions is set for next Saturday.
The first petition had been granted on
the plea that Judge Bruggemeyer was
prejudiced and had refused change of
venue.
The specific charge on which the three
men are held to the grand jury is con-
spiracy to obtain money by false pre-
lenses.

New York Mayor Writes Letter
Announcing His Satisfaction
with Democratic Ticket
GOTHAM STRUGGLE is OPENED
Candidate for Governor Makes
First Speech in Metropolis
and Attacks T. R.
GOTHAM STRUGGLE is OPENED
ASSOCIATED Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.--John A Dix,
Democratic nominee for governor,
made his first public address in this
city tonight at a meeting in Carnegie
| hall, which also served as the occasion
| for Mayor Gaynor's announcement of
his support of the ticket. The mayors S
voice still being weak, his message
came in the form of a letter to Herman
Ridder, who presided.
Mr.. Dix devoted the greater part of
his speech to a denunciation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt He charged the former
president with willful falsehood in re-
peating accusations for which Mr.. Dix
in his Buffalo speech had demanded
apology. He declared that Roosevelt
was in political alliance with William
r. Hearst, whom four years ago he had
publicly branded as responsible for
the assassins bullet aimed at the pres
ident."
Speaking Of Col. Roosevelt's political
activities, Mr.. Dix said:
I'm the center of the stage there has
been hurled-by the inordinate vanity,
the dangerous ambition and the reck-
less conduct of a man who has become
the apostle of tumult and the protago-
mist of representation-the question
of whether your republican institutions
should survive, or under the assaults
of the agitator and the egotist should
go down to destruction, as have other
great countries under similar assaults.
SEES G. o. p. DEFEAT
Fortunately the battle-ground chos-
en- for this fight was that which COM
bined patriotism, intelligence and pub
u - hi, 1t . l,D
decisive defeat which lies before this
creature of unrest, this instigator of
panic and this destructive agent of
business depression will not alone re-
tire him to a sphere of we'll earned and
unenvied seclusion, but will serve as
signal warning to all other men who
may let their ambition blind their
judgment to the fact that this is and
must remain a government for the
people"
Mayor Gaynors letter follows in
part:
"Nlne-tenths of the voters Of each
party are honest and true. They want
honest and intelligent government.
When their party fails to give 1t, they
know that the time has arrived when
their duty and also their intellectual
self-respect require then to vote with
the opposite party
ITO keep government up to the mark,
one party should not be kept in power
continually. 1t were fortunate for us
if our political parties in state and ma
ton were more evenly divided, so that
one party could be put out and the
other brought in readily.
1.-The assertion that Mr.. Dix was Sc
lected and his nomination forced by a
political leader hereabouts I know Of
my own knowledge to be false. 1t is
easy to stand up a man Of straw and
then thump it over, and that is what
some distinguished Republican or new
nationalist campaigners seem to be
principally engaged in"

SMALLPOX PATIENT
 HAVING MANIAC
Tried to Brain His Own Son and An- other NegrO-Chained and

Agony.

After suffering for several days with smallpox on plantation near Fairfield, this county, Merdy Ridley, a negro, 37 years old, suddenly be- came raving maniac, tried to kill Wfll Atherton, another negro, and was prevented from murdering his little son, whom he had clubbed in- to ins sensibility. Ridley left his bed and chased many negroes about the plantation while armed with large club. He knocked Atherton in the head, but his injury is not considered serious. Ridley was finally captured and overpowered. He had to be chained and handcuffed and died Sunday night in agony. Ridley imag- ined the doctors were trying to vac- cinate him and appeared to be chok- ing the imaginary physician when he suddenly expired. The case was one of the most remarkable ever attend ed by local physicians, they say, and the negroes of the neighborhood were panic stricken when 1t was announc- ed that a smallpox patient was run ming at large in an efort to murder them.

My speech is like the suspenders which the auctioneer lauds so high ly. They are long enough for man and short enough for q boy. said Dr. Jenlin Lloyd Jones, the eminent editor-lecturer- preacher and man of general versatility from Chicago, who appeared at the Temple last night under the auspices of it's two chau- tauqua societies, dealing with the subject, Home Making, the first of two lectures with which he is to fav- or Pine Bluffians. "IIl speak as long as you behave yourselves The moment I see you getting restless, I'll quit. But when he added "Tm not quite through although he had already spoken an hour, clamor of applause urged him to continue
 Dr. Jones spoke to large and fashionable audience, numbering among the assemblage many of the most prominent men and women of the city. The manner in which Dr. Jones handled his subject showed him to be man of remarkable talents, scholarly attainments and masterly oratory. Beginning with the making of the home, as it is found in ltera- ture, indicating the loneliness of a Robinson Crusoe, the pathos of the Wandering Jew of the Legend; and the sadness of an Enoch Arden, come home to find his wife in possession of another, he advanced to the crude home of the savage in possession oe another, he advance dto the crude home of the savage and artistically led up to the perfect home of the present and the still more finished domestic hearth of the future
 Dr. Jones declared. that not until modern civilization did the father give his full share of parental care and devotion to the children, the mother alone shielding and loving the off- spring.
 The first step in home building is the wooing-the love making. In bar barrie society the man who could fight the best captured the woman, but in modern life the selection of a helpmate is a matter of wit and wis., dom. Not discountenancing the promptings of the heart, he said, the young man and woman must combine some prudence with love. Young man, in choosing your future wife take care to see her not so much in her parlor gown and manners as in her calico dress and on wash day.

VOLT METER STRONG

The City Council met last night allowed the monthly bills and sal aries of the various city depart ments and discussed many matters of great importance to the citizenship. Mayor Toney and all the aldermen, except Fred Fox, who is i'll, were present.
 Chairman Pat c. Chesnutt, of the First ward, tried to get motion through authorizing the ordinance committee, of which he is chairman to employ an attorney to draw up two ordinances, creating the posi- tions of building inspector and street commissioner. He declared that he had requested City Attorney Sorrells several times to do the work, but 1that it had never been done. Alder men Hollis and Jordan thought that the city attorney was being paid for such work and they did not favor the employment of an outside lawyer. The matter was finally disposed of when Alderman Chestnut was re- quested to inform the city attorney that the ordinances must be ready for the next meeting of the council and in the event Attorney Sorrells does not draw them by that time, an- other lawyer will be employed to do the work
 It developed at the meeting last night that the new volt meter, which was purchased by the Board of Pub lie Affairs, to be used in testing the arc and incandescent light voltage, was not what was wanted and it is believed that the machine will have to be sent back to the factory to be replaced with another of less power. It is claimed by electricians that the machine is too strong for incandes- cent tests and the arc light tests are not satisfactory.
 The billboard at Second avenue and Texas street was ordered moved back from the sidewalk, to the dis tance from the street, required by law, and the chief of police will serve the order on the owners to- day. N
