The week vaudeville program given its It Int presentation nt the .Creighton Orpheum Sunday afternoon is made up principally of what aro generally termed "circus nets. Performing cnts, two acro bats and a contortionist furnish tin circus portion of the amusement, the James, O Harrows and John Lancaster company the legitimate part, nnd the Dlson City quartet tho musical end. Thore 'Is not a common place art In the program. The Harrows-Lancaster company offers an amusing llttlo sketch, "A Thorough bred." It is redolent with horse talk and sparkles like tho comedy gem it Is, with bright humor. Mr. Harrows and Mr. Lan caster are remembered for their capital work in this line at tho Orpheum last sea son, and to say that they are decidedly, clever comedians would only be to relter ato what Is well understood by alt regular patrons of this theater, who do not forget tho good things and clever people from year to year. Tcchow't. cats are cer'rlnly wonderfully well-trained animals. It is surprising to soo fromo of tho feats these felines perform, In which they exhibit almost human Intelli gence. There urn several well-trained doti UEed In the act, which is one sure to please the children nnd cause their elders to marvel. Tho Dlson City quartet mixes musk: and comedy In a way that makes it "plrasant to take." Tbo organization Is compesed of Cook, G Irani. Pike and 'Humphrey, all of whom have excellent volccj. Amtel, tho contortionist, Is a wonder. Ono might easily Imagine that ho was without a bono to look al the many shapes In and out of which he can twist And turn, In his body. The Macagnos offer an acrobatlo act tho novelty of which would make It Inter esting even If It possessed no other merit. The two men perform their feats, which are many and varied, In ordinary citizens' clothes. Allco Lewis, a dainty little child artist of raro ability, and the kinedrotnc, complete tho bill. Mlnco'a Trocudcrn. Tho Rose Hill English Folly company opened tho week at Mlaco's Trocodero with n highly amurlng skit entitled "All at Sea. Numerous specialties wcro introduced, con sisting of solos, concerted numbers, comedy and a modley of musical gems, The bur leaquo feature Is especially strong and the company a a whole Is one of the best that has held tbo boards of tho Trocodero this season.

DES MOINES, April 21. Next Friday, April 26, Is Arbor day and Hlrd day In the schools of Iowa. It Is not a day set apart by legal enactment tor this purpose, but custom has decreed that such n day shall be observed In the public schools of tho state. The superintendent of public Instruction has fixed tho day and It Is probable the governor will Issue a proclu. matlon or announcement, the better to call attention to the date. Dy combining a Hlrd day with Arbor day It Is possible to secure greater interest among tho children of the public schools. Bird lovers are numerous, especially among the children who attend tho rural tchools. Tho birds are disappearing from Iowa. The decrease In number of many of the species that 'vere once common Is no tlcenblo since th'j coming of the quarrel some sparrows. The small songbirds have been driven out, but there are yet blrdB In great variety to be found In the wooded fields along every Iowa stream. Arbor and Hlrd day, so tho reports show, Is pretty generally observed lu tho common schools. Tho pamphlet printed by the educational department for use on nil spcclnl days In the Hchools contnlns abundance of material for good programs on this day. In somo parts of the state, especially the older counties, where tho school grounds are already abundantly supplied with trees, the planting Is done by the farmers on their own land and It Is the custom to gather at the rural schoolhouso In tbo aftornoon and listen to songs and recita tions. The Arbor day Idea has been advanced And encouraged by Iowa educators, hor tlculturlsts and philanthropists for many years. Efforts have been made to secure legislation providing for the teaching of horticulture and forestry In the schools of the state. This has beon much discussed In the meetings of the State Horticultural society. Some years ago the society se cured the publication of a little book on "Nature Studies" for uso In the Iowa schools, relating chiefly to trees and plants. This was published nt the Stato Institution for the Feeble Minded at Olen- wood on the presses of that Institution The edition was far too small to meet the demand. An effort has been made to se cure lu the school books generally used In the state some Information along the same line and to a great extent this has succeeded. More recently there has been a revival of interest in horticulture nnd forestry as related to parking In the cities. In a number of cltlc3 the park movoment Is making substantial progress. Plans have been made for parking the grounds of the new insane hospital nt Cherokeo and for tree-planting that will be an object lesson to that part of the state. Interest In I'-on-ntry. The first organized effort to nrou.ie In terest In forestry and' tree-planting in Iowa was through the Horticultural society, which was early oiganized, nnd about the same time tho Patrons of Husbandry or ganlzod granges all over the stato and helped tho movement along. At one time nearly overy county In Iowa had a grange, The grangers were all-powerful In busi ness and politics. Tho entire ritual of tho Patrons of Husbandry Is founded on na- turo study. Tree-planting was taught and encouraged. It will surprise many to leara that there are still thirteen granges In Iown nnd that tho order hns been steadily maintained In many places nnd regularly holds stato meetings. Among the counties where (hero are granges are Jones, Mills Iowa, Pottawattamie, Cherokee, Jasper and Taylor, nut the tree-planting daysvof tho grango aro past in Iowa. Invra'N Xntlve Tree. Iowa has a great variety of native trees Not all are suitable tor transplanting. Tho nut-bearing trees are hard to transplant. It is almost Impossible to get results from planting the oaks, hickories and Mmllur trees. Hut the walnut Is cosily grown and Is popular. Tho first of the trees to com mand the attention of Iowa planters were the cottonwood and willow. They grew rapidly and anywhere. Then the soft ma pie became popular for the same reasons, and later the box elder became tho prime favorite with farmers. Now all these ire unpopular. Tho borers kill the box eldors and tbo cottonwoods and willows spring up overywhero und are a nuisance. The greatest objection to the black walnut Is that It Is a gross feeder and requires very rich ground. The butternut or white wal nut Is much better and makes a prettier tree. The hackberry Is Justly popular, but Is objectionable In cities, because Its roots lift the ground and destroy sidewalks. The Kentucky coffee tree Is becoming popular and Is found wild In many places In the state. The whlto elm Is by far the best tree for planting, although It Is not a fast grower. The catalpa was Introduced many years ago In Iown and highly recommended not only for shade, but for ,tho timber, But, grown out on the prairie, It Is of no use for timber, for It becomes, like all other trees grown on the prairies, wind shaken and straggling. The room In the state capltol occupied by the adjutant gtn eral tor an office IS finished with catalpa wood. Tho room was Intended for the uso of the Horticultural society and the wood was furnished by Quel Foster, a presi dent of the society for many years, from his groves of catalpa near Muscatine. Hut this wood was grown on rich bottom land. Commercial Forestry. As for commercial forestry by Individ uals, thcro Is no such thing In Iowa, Sec retnry George H. Van Houten of .ho Stato Department of Agriculture, who ha been secretary of the State Horticultural society and Its reporter for man years, Is perhaps as well In formed on this subject as any person in the state, "In all my experience, ho says "I have never known any man to make a profit by forestry in Iowa. Ono may go back Into the old reports of the Hortl cultural society of twenty-five years ago and read predictions which seem ridiculous to us now. You will find exhaustive papers there by tbo ablest of our horticulturist and farmers advising tho plnntlng of trees They had It figured out that In twenty years from that tlmo tho supply of timber would bo practically gone. They figured out 'lie profit per aero from land planted to trevs and It ns dazzling. Hut timber Is cheaper today than It was then. If you advertise a farm with timber land upon It you will not get purchasers. It you have a bedgo fence you will have- to take a reduced price for your land, I know of a grove plants in Taylor county to black walnuts befoi'i tho war. Even today there aro few treeH except along the outer edge, which aro fit for sawlogs. I know it has been told bow Judge Whiting of Mouona county made profit by tree planting, but I have visited bis forests and do not believe he made any thing In that way. There Is N. A. Reeves one of the finest fruit-growers in Iowa who planted his splendid farm In northern Iowa to fruit and timber many years ago, He lived to old age and gave his orchard and groves the best of care. When hi farm was cold by his heirs they had t take at least ?5 an acre less because of the treee on the farm. I know of a Und owner In southwest Iowa who, away back in the 'oOs, was onereu bo nn acre for uis splendid timbered land, but he held on, ex pecting that It would be worth f 100 an acre. He sold some years ago for $oo an acre. llenpfll Later (Ipprrntluit. "I do not like to make such a report," continued Mr. Van Houten, "for It Is con- rary to all the teachings of our society and ti.o hopes of many ii us, but It is a fact that no man can expect for himself any substantial result, from tree planting, nor for his children. His grandchildren nd theirs may reap some benefit, but he will not, nor will his children, There fore, tho forestry question Is not one for Individual enterprise, except as It Is taken up by philanthropists, but It Is a problem for the state and the nation. Hut tree planting for shade and ornament and In cidental to farming Is anothor thing. Wc cannot have too much of that." Early Scorn nf I'rnlrlrn. Whllo Iown is a prairie state, more Una half of the state was well wooded when the white people took possession. Every tream Is lined with trees. It Is noticeable that the earliest settlements were In tho woods, where the pioneers had to grub out tho stumps to make way for tho plow. The prairie land was not considered fit for anything but grazing. Now the whole stale Is occupied ami used. HYMENEAL Rcdnmn-Kleekner. WEST POINT. Neb.. April 21. (SDCClal.)

It Is New- bro's Herplcldc, a preparation thot cures baldness, prevents falling hair and speedily and permanently eradicates dandruff.

When this money Is paid into tho treasury on or about May 1, there will bo a call for warrants from the treasurer of the district and a lot of outstanding obligations will bo taken up. There will be a surplus on account of the number of licensee und with the levy and state apportionment tho district will be ln good shape financially. Some months ago a member of tho Hoard of Kducatlon compiled figures showing tho recelptB available In 1901. Tho liquor li censes wero figured at seventy-five snl'ious at $1,000 each, making n total of $71,000, tho Btote apportionment nt $10,000 mvl it tax levy of 16 mills at $35,000. making a total of $120,000. Under existing condi tions the salary roll for tho term of 1M1 and K'02, commencing with September, v. ill be $.0,000; coal will cost $3,000, repairs $5,000 and supplies $6,000, leaving not loss than JJj.OOO for building purposes. Tho lncrense of $5,000 In the license fund, whtch was not figured at the time, will make nt least $30,000 for building purposes, even with a 15-mlll levy. This sum will, It Is stated, erect a portion of tho -imposed High school building on Uio Hoctor site. In connection with the High school build ing It may be stated that a petition la be ing circulated among property owners re. questing the Hoard of Education to pur chase the two lot adjoining the slto on tho north and thus secure an entire half block for tho 'High' school building, which will when completed bo nn Imposing structure. Prices of the property under considera tion have beon secured and tho matter Is now In the hards of n committee of tho board. In speaking of this matter last evening one of tho members of the board said that It wan now up to tho people. It tho taxpayers wanted to seo a first-class High school building erected, with suita ble grounds surrounding, all that was to bo dono was to say so and tho board would do tho rest. In the absence of a definite opinion from tho pcoplo the board, this member said, would go very slowly. With tho revenue In'slght the building can be started nnd eight or ten rooms provided before tho opening of the schools In the fall, providing work Is commenced at once. This will relievo tho congestion nt tho Central school and assist materially In maintaining the standard of the schools here. When tho petition mentioned is pre sented to tho board It will bo carefully considered and as Bonn after reorganization as possiblo will bo taken up and some de cision reached. Lemil Holiday Today. Thin Is Arbor day, a legal holiday lu Nebraska, consequently tho banks will ro main clooid all day and the city offices will close at 10 a. m. There will bo only one delivery of mall. Whllo tho city coun cil Is billed for a meeting tonight, thcro is a possibility that an adjournment may bo taken until a later date on account of It being a holiday. City Attorney Lambert said yesterday that ho did not think that tho fnct that today was a legal holiday would Invalidate any of tho acts of the council should a meeting Le h"ld, but the chances aro that the city fathers will adjourn Just tho samo, as has been the custom in tho past. In case of on adjournment the agony of tho candidates for counclltnanlc positions will bo prolonged for a day or two longer and possibly then some. ('rndliiK Petition. Councilman Dvorak Is at the head of a movement to havo S street opened and graded from Thirteenth to Twenty-fourth streets. A petition asking the council to make provision for this work Is now being circulated and will soon bo presented to the city fathers. The land which is natur ally 8 streot between Thirteenth and Fif teenth streets haB never been dedicated for streot purposes and an attempt Is to be made to either secure tho dedication of tho street or commence condemnation pro ccedlngs.
