Loses His Meat.

On last Thursday night, or rather
early Friday morning, between II and
o'clock the smoke house of Mr.. G. s.
Greenleaf was discovered to be on fire.
and owing to the lateness of the hour
it was DESTROYED before the department
could get the hose turned on it. Mr..
Greenleaf and MIR. H. C. Kaufman
had each provided large hog fo- their
meat supply, and these were almost a
total loss. The fire originated from
Mr.. Greenleaf following the old time
custom of smoking his meat" by
making fire in large kettle in the
middle of the smokehouse floor, this
fire was left over night and the kettle
became over heated and set the floor
afire The smokehouse was in fifteen
feet of the dwelling, and but for the fact
that heavy rain was falling and the
wind was from the north, the residence
also would have been destroyed.

Judge C. A. Arnold had before him
on last Thursday brother of Jesse
Dozier, both of whom were in company
with Russell Holman one night last
week, when the latter received what
was at first thought to be mortal
wound. 1t developed that Holman
received the wound at the hands of
Jesse Dozier and that the shooting was
purely accidental, and the investigation
In so far as this phase of the case is
concerned was dropped. However, 4
warrant was taken out for Dozier for
shooting on the public highway, and
this charge will prosecuted. Dozier is

wound, was not as seriously injured as
was announced, but is doing well and

-Four Feet And Still Coming.

The rain of last Friday put about
four feet of water in Lake Placid and
two streams are still feeding it, so this
added to the amount already on hands
makes pretty good start toward re-

supply. The water is above the point
where an old and very obdurate leak
was repaired in the dam, and it holds
nicely, so there is no danger of loss
from leakage in the future.

A Treat In Store For The Literary And
Music Loving People OF Lancaster.
Ridpath's Chautauqua Course
To Be Here This
Summer.

1t will indeed be a source of great
pleasure to the people of Lancaster and
Garrard county to know that we are to
have a Chautauqua Course in Lancas-
ter during the coming summar. The
dates have not been finally fixed, but it
will probably be during the last week
in June or the first week in july
Twenty progressive business men and
citizens of Lancaster have made this
possible by each guaranteeing to the
Chautauqua company the sum of twenty
dollars each, and they will depend upon
the sale of tickets to save them from
loss because of their progressiveness
in making it possible to have this splen
did attraction. The tickets will be
placed on sale in the near future and
everyone who purchases or binde them
selves to purchase, may rest assured
that it will be money we'll spent. Many
of our people go great distance each
year in order to attend these Chautau-
qua gatherings, and many of them have
seen the one which is to appear here,
which is Ridpath's, and is given up to
be the best on the road. The course
will Re a five day one, two attractions
each day, afternoon and evening, and
one can lily afford to miss a single one
of the attractions, for all are of the
very highest class obtainable.
We give below list of attractions,
which is subject to revision and addi
ton, but you may rest assured that no
revising will detract from the splendid
list of attractions.
Lecturers-Gov. Joseph w. Folk,
George l.. McNutt, DIR. J. c. Whiting,
one other to be supplied.
Entertainers-Ren Magician for
children night, Villa Watson CHM,
Reader and Impersonator from extern
sion department, University Wisconsin,
Miss Lacy, Interpreter of plays in
''EverywOman"
Music-Dante's band in two concerts
afternoon classical, evening popular.
% members, The Anitas, ladies sing
ing orchestra, The Bolandus, family
orchestra, the Collegian Male Quartette,
the Boyds, Novelty musical company.
The musical organizations will give a
80 minutes concert as prelude to each
lecture and entertainment.
All the attractions listed on the
above programme will positively make
their appearance.
This is an attraction such as Lancas-
ter has never had before and should
have the unstinted support of the en-
| tire community. These Chautauqua
companies carry their own large water
proof tent, and every convenience is
provided for the comfort of the audi
ence.
These Chautauqua courses have been
held in adjoining towns and in towns of
the size of Lancaster throughout the
state for number of years, and we
have often thought that Lancaster
would support one. There are as many
cultured, literary and music loving
people in Garrard as in ony of our ad-
joining counties. and they will now
have an opportunity to enjoy first
class attraction at home.

BEES ARE LITTLE TROUBLE
Honey Caterers Are Only Producers
to Industry Yielding Profit With
out Cost of Feed.

(By WESLEY FORSTER, Colorado State
Bee Inspector.)
If people knew what a great source
of profit is found in the keeping of
bees and how interesting the work
there wouldn't be an unused square
foot of ground on any farm in the
United States.
Bees are the only producers known
to husbandry that yield a profit with
out cost Of feed. They find their
own pasture. They multiply so rap
idly that they more than pay for
the small initial expense Of housing
them, and the first cost Of equipment
is almost trifling.
Bee culture may be made profit
able by the children of the farm, or
by the women members of the fam
fly. 1t may be carried on successfully
in conjunction with the keeping of
poultry or growing of fruit. In the
latter case, agriculture is found to be
a great help toward more fruit and
better fruit.
Bees are little trouble and require
only occasional attention. They are
easily handled and readily controlled.
Best Of all, they give a real service
in hard cash, and that counts most.

OUNCE Is MUCH NEGLECTED
Methods of Culture Have Not Been
Studied and Trees Suffer From
Continued lll-Treatment.

The ounce is a much-neglected
fruit. 1t seems to be less grown now
than a century ago. Varieties have
changed but little in a generation.
Methods OF culture have not been
studied, and such trees as exist usu-
ally suffer from ill-treatment in some
neglected corner of the orchard. But
few fruit growers have given the mar
keting of ounce attention, and the
fruit is therefore not we'll received in
the markets. The fact that the fruit
cannot be eaten raw, though delicious
when cooked, greatly impedes the
progress OF its culture. When the
plant breeder has given the ounce the
texture of the apple, decreased the
number Of seeds, and somewhat les
sened the very pronounced flavor, 1t
will become a dessert fruit second to
none.
