FRUIT DOES VERY WELL HERE Last Year Was a Good Fruit Season , and Each Succeeding Year Promises to be Better Orchards Come Into Bearing In a Few Years. X Although Arhor day Is two weeks In the future the tree planters of the Tree Planters' state are Rotting busy and the men with the trees to Hell arc doing more business than a ward heel- cr during a municipal campaign. In addition to the big orders being han dled by the local nurserymen , this Is a big distributing point for foreign com panies and agents arc here with car loads of trees to bo distributed throughout the towns and country and arc malting deliveries to numerous fanners who are starting orchards , groves and windbreaks. The country Is running stronger to fruit than ever before. It has been proven that fnilt of all kinds will do well In this section of the state , and that orchards will hear moio quickly here than In eastern states. Orchnrna that were planted three to live years ago , bore abundantb last season and It will be but a few years when many farmers will have a steady source of Income from their fruit trees , vhlch require a. minimum of care and pro duce a maximum of enjoyment in the possession of an abundance of good fruit. Trees that do well In this latitude In any- part of the country have been found to do well here. Considerable care Is required to give them a right start , but after the start is made there Is very little care required to maintain productive orchards that will grow ap ples of all kinds , plums and cherries In abundancci Last year was an exceedingly good cherry season and hundreds of bush els of , this fruit was raised and mar keted with profit to the orchardlsts. It was a good apple year also , but the mistake seems to have been made of planting apples of early varieties , only , the market being swamped with this perishable fruit , while of the winter varieties the shipments continue to be made from the east. More of the later varieties are being planted , how ever , and In a few years there will be an abundance of these as well. The advice of those who have made a success of orcharding in this sec tion of the country , both regarding viirietles and methods of planting is well worth considering by the Inexpe rienced , and with this advice it should be easy to advance this portion of Ne braska in the fruit production line.

Detec tive Chandler , accompanied by two other employes of the Thlel agency In St. Paul , arrived In Now Ulra yester day afternoon. He Is retained by the defense In the Koch murder cane- and has made frequent trips to this city , necurlng additional evidence for I ho trial In Mankato. Chandler and his assistants wcr driven ever the road between this city and Mankato to Investigate as to the coat and trousers picked up by a farmer n few miles south of this city the morning after the murder. Tlio fanner who found the articles nay * * they were lying by the roadside and had the appearance of having been thrown away by Homo ono traveling along the highway. The theory advanced Is that the murderer escaped from the nut hurl ties the evening of tlio crlmo and boarded a freight train at some of the smaller stations between this city mill Mankato. In fact , a stranger was seen the following morning after the murdu in the ralltoad yards at Maukato. and It Is known that ho rode a freight train from this city.
