PROPOGAT|NG GRAPE VINES.
Cuttings Should Be Made After Leaves
Drop i'm Fall.

| The best way to increase grape vines
| for home vineyard is to make simple
cuttings in the fall after the leaves
have dropped. This may be done when
the parent vine is pruned for the win
ter, the pruning of weIl-developed
wood being cut in lengths so as to in
clude two buds, one at the base of the
cutting, the other just below the top.
The cuttings are then to be bundled
with their butts together and buried
erect below the reach of frost, in
we'll drained, sandy or loamy soil.
When spring opens they are to be set
in drills six or eight inches apart in
the drill and cultivated like such crops
as beets and peas.-Farm Progress.

obtained for the brides and grooms
from the county clerks Office, and the
wedding ceremonies were performed
by Justice Ara Weldon. Most OF the
couples had been engaged for some
time, but had been baked by rule
that weddings were not permissible.
A few days ago matters came 10 a
climax and the couples decided ii was
time TO act There was conference
among the leaders, and IL was de-

sanctioned. In the first bunch - cou-

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-TOhe ma
jority OF the committee on privileges
and elections are unwilling To declare
that the election OF Senator Lorimer
was without corrupt practices, says
John Callan O'Loughlin,' III y dispatch
TO the Chicago Tribune. Lorimer can
rely upon 4 majority vote to validate
his claim TO the seat ne occupies. how
ever.
In other words, there probably will
be placed by the entire committee II
black stain upon the validity OF Mr..
Lorimers election. 1t is a stain which
only a unanimous vote by the entire
senate could eradicate. II is stain
which a man with proper sense OF
honor would regard as SO serious IA
to call for immediate resignation and
perhaps appeal to the people OF his
state for vindication
The committee on privileges and
elections did not meet yesterday, but

II has been an anxious day for Sen

OF the appearance of a fly in the

caused their hopes TO sink TO a lower
