Women Conductor, Now.

The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company is experimenting with won
en- conductors on its new ''pay.as-you-
enter" cars. Two Of the ticket sellers
from the Market street Il" were de-
tailed to act as conductors on the new
cars. On the new cars. the conductor
is merely a cashier. He. or she. sits
within a cage-like enclosure and
merely receives the fare and makes
change and then records the receipts.
Electric switches have relieved the ne.
cessity Of aiding the motcrman and
there is no adjusting Of trolleys. Men
are not necessarily required for the
work. The chief aim OF the company.
however. is to do away with as many
of the causes Of labor difficulties as
possible.

DISEASE OF HONEY BEES

The United States Department OF
Agriculture calls attention to the fact
that American foul brood has been
found to exist in Bingham county.
The department has no means OF
knowing how long the disease has ex-
isted in the region, but desires to no.
tify keepers of the trouble and to sug-
gest that, if not already informed
concerning the disease, they inform
themselves at once. Very frequently
colonies of bees are destroyed by d.
sease and the loss is attributed by the
bee keeper to some other cause.
Farmers Bulletin No. 442, "The
Treatment of Bee Diseases" gives
description of the brood diseases and
methods of treatment. It will be
sent free on request to the secretary
of Agriculture, Washington, D. G.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the brood diseases do not at all
injure honey for human consumption,
so that there need be no fear on the
part of purchasers of honey.

HINTS FOR THE GARDENER

Begin to plan now on your springs
work Send for seed catalogue in
order to decide what you are going
to plant. ~
Send for your seeds early and test
them long before you plant them both
for purity and termination. Weak
seeds are dear at any price, for from
them spring weak plants.
If you are going to use any ma
nure purchased from the city, do not
fail to pile it up and allow it to rot
before it is hauled onto the land. Ma
nure coming from livery stables. or
other places where hay is likely to be
purchased from several sources, is
often fruitful source of weed infec-
ton. If such manure is allowed to
ferment well, the most, if not all, of
the weed seeds will lose their power
of termination. The pile should be
turned over from time TO time in or
der to prevent over heating and the
consequent loss in the value of the
manure.
Plan your garden in such a way
that there will be good division of
labor throughout the season.
Repair your hot-bed sashes. Re-
place broken panes and fasten the
loose ones in. Imbed the panes in
putty and nail them in but do not
putty them in for the rain and frost
will crack the putty off if you do. Do
not lap panes over one-forth of an
inch, the water and frost will get I'M
der and cause you trouble there, too.
Repair or make any crates or boxes
that may be needed and see that all
the garden tools ana machinery are
put in good repair for the spring and
summer.
When you send for your seeds
don't forget the Importance of a crop
rotation in your garden. Remember
that among the many advantages of
crop rotation are the avoidance of in
sect pests and fungus diseases, the
Kidding of weed pest by intensive Gull
tivation, the balancing of the soil ele-
ments by growing crops of different
food requirements, and the addition
of nitrogen to the soil by growing
leguminous crops.

the House to pass resolution de-
claring against third term for any
president on the ground that it would
be "unwise, unpatriotic, and fraught
with peril proved sort of boomer
ang for the Democrats, who were
forced into the position of acknowl-
edging that they are afraid of the
Roosevelt boom. The Republicans
had plenty of amendments ready, one
of which was to the effect that it
would be "unwise, unpatriotic. etc. I"
for William Jennings Bryan to run
more than three times for the presi-
dency. But the proposition was fin
ally smOthered by Mr.. Underwood,
Speaker Clark and few other
wise ones on the Democratic side
of the House.
A number of senators are persist
emily pushing plans to ratify the
peace treaties. Senator Burton, who
is the principal spokesman for the
administration, has declared that
these treaties will pave the way for
other agreements, strong and weak
alike While of course there is all
kinds of opposition, yet the growing
sentiment that this is a peace move
ment along logical lines has been a
great aid to President Taft in his
efforts to enforce his views. Mr..
Burton declared in a speech the 9TH
err day that the civilized nations of
the earth were spending more than
two billion dollars a year for their ar
mics and navies, which should. be ex-
pended in peace pursuits.

JACK DAVIS A SUICIDE
(Pocatello Tribune. .

(Pocatello Tribune.
The dead body of Jack Davis, one
OF the best known passenger brake
man on the Short Line, was found
in his room in the basement of the
Cruise residence on West Clark street
this morning by his roommate,
Brakeman P. Woodmansee. Mr.. Da-
Wis had committed suicide by drink
ing carbolic acid, as determined by
an investigation by DR.. O. B. Steely,
the county coroner. The dead man
left a note, addressed to his room
mate, ordering the disposition of his
property, and winding up with these
words:
Remember me to all, for everyone
is my friend. Living is all right for
some, but not for me. May God bless
and keep you ALL"
Among the dead mans effects was
a letter from his sister in New Ro-
chelle, N. T., TO whom DR.. Steely to-
day sent telegram, asking for in
structions as to the disposition of the
body.
The unfortunate man retired last
night after making careful prepara-
tions to shuttle off this mortal coil.
After undressing he carefully folded
his clothing and reclined on the bed,
after drinking the fatal potion, with
his face on his hand.
Jack Davis was q man of mingled
faults and virtues, but everyone ad-
mired and loved him on account of an
appealing personality.
Dependency was undoubtedly the
cause of his rash act.

Jennings Bryan in a telegram, told
the members of the caucus: IF our
party is afraid to offend the power of
the financial interests that have
fought us since 1895, we cannot ex-

cratic House leaders plainly threw off
the yoke of Nebraska's great Com

lance to the new Moses from Ala
bama, Mr.. Underwood, who on each
and every occasion, therein trouble is
threatened, leads the children of the
sacred donkey farther and farther out
of the wilderness-at least that is
the way the Democrats see it; and
whipping into line behind Manager
Underwood, Speaker Clark and few
others, it was decided that the whole
investigation, which has been a sub
ject of boisterous conversation and
much red type in the newspapers,
be referred in parts to the standing
committee of the House, where it is
expected by the Democratic leaders,
who won in the caucus, that they will

cratic party the support of Wall st.
