ARE YOUR BULBS PLANTED ? Put Them In the Ground Now Before the First Hard Freeze. Plant your bulbs now. October is the month , before the first hard freeze. The soil should bo rich and mellow. See that your bed has a good drainage and that the bulbs can be protected during the winter. Fall planting Is much bettor than spring planting. Care should bo taken In planting bulbs. A well drained bed on the south side of the house , and well protected - tected , is an Ideal ono. Plant tulips four inches apart and seven Inches deep , Hyacinths grow bettor when placed seven Inches apart and four Inches deep. Narcissi also should bo four Inches deep. Plant crocus and all smaller bulbs , such as sclllas and snowdrops , throe Inches deep. A good way Is to plant a bed with tulips In the center and crocus for a border. The crocus will blossom first , but still will be In bloom when the tulips flower. Hyacinths and narcissi ohould be planted In separate hods. Sclllas blend nicely In any bed. When the bulbs are In and as soon as the first freeze conibs , cover the bed with fertilizer , leu .en or branch es. This will prevent the freeze and thaw of the bulbs with every change of temperature. When spring comes the protection can be removed gradu ally. ally.Bulbs Bulbs require little attention other than this. But especial care should be taken so that In the thaw following a snow the water will drain off , and the outside protection be at least six Inches thick and evenly distributed. Then In the spring you may look for good results. THE DALLAS EXTENSION. Grading Outfits Working West , Rails Are Being Laid Fast. Colome Times : Under Roadmaster Spcllnmn a force of thirty-four men are now engaged laying ties and rails on the Northwestern line out of Dal las toward Colomt1. The number of men will be Increased as fast as men can be hired until a hundred men are employed. The scarcity of workmen Is all that prevents much faster work. The rails arc dropping In at the rate of half a mile a day. An engine and supply cars are fol lowing the men , who are running ahead with small trucks , laying the steel. At the- present rate the line should be completed within twenty days to Colome. but It will probably require less time if men can be secured. Colome will have the railroad , ties , rails , locomotives and cars , the real thing , within the month. The station to be erected here will probably be brought lu by train and put up In short order , as every part will be ready to throw together when It arrives. The above is the railroad situation in a nutshell , and it's a shell that breaks to a mighty fine kernel for Co lome and all Trlpp county. Winner Journal : The work of lay ing rails on the Northwestern exten sion from Dallas to Winner was com ' menced Monday. A gang of about 100 men are at work laying ties and rails and ballasting the road bed. Over three miles have been finished. As was stated In the Journal last week , the grading contractors have been ordered to rush their work , and they certainly are doing It. The work ut this place will be completed In about two weeks and with favorable weather the grading will bo completed between Colome and this place by No vember 1st. It Is expected that Winner will have regular train service by Decem ber 1st. Trlpp County Journal : Several more grading outfits have been moved lecently from the other side or Co lon e. and are now bard at work be tween Colome and this pity. Several of the contractors have been in Winner during the past week , and each and everyone of them has stated that they had received ordtrs to rush the work as fast as possible , as the railroad company wished to lay the rails in to Winner thU fall. They have also stated that it would be necessary to complete the road to Winner this fall , If It starte.l out from Dallas , as there had been no provision made for even a temporary terminus at Colome. Mr. Chamberlain , one or the con tractors who are doing the grading at this place , states that It will take about thirty days to finish the work liere. The grading for the round house Is nearly finished and consider able work has been done one the "Y. " The Lamoureaux camps are workIng - Ing on Sand Creek near Brandon Springs. This Is the heaviest piece of work between here and Colome , but It is expected that this will be finished within six weeks with favor able weather. The grading across Miss Bailee's claim east of Colome was resumed on Monday. Sometime ago Miss Sallce secured an injunction prohibiting the road from building across her claim. It Is not known just how the matter was settled between Miss Sallee and tailroad company , but we are inform ed that a largo outfit began grading there the first of the week and that the work will be finished In short or der. Another order was received by the contractors that the grading work would have to be finished In time to lay Jie rails to Winner by December 1st. as they wish to begin train ser vice on that date. A STEEL TRADE WAR IS ON. Jobbers Split With United States Steel Corporation. Cleveland , O. , Oct. 19. Discussing a reported movement among jobbers to break with the United States Steel corporation and handle the products of an Independent steel company , the Dally Iron Trade Review gives the following story of the Jobbers' com < ph.lnt : For a number of years after Its for matlon the steel corporation sold a largo part of Its product through Job hers and seemed content to do so , making liberal concessions to thorn , paying what practically amounted to commissions for handling the bust- ness. Gradually , however , the steel corporation manifested a disposition to establish warehouses and handle Its own products In n retail way. The building of the warehouse at Waverly , near New York City , wns au Impor- taut step in this direction. A few weeks ago , however , the most radical U'tlon was taken In the withdrawing of price concessions made to jobbers by the steel corporation. Following this action the Carnegie Steel company , a few days ago sent out twenty salesmen to represent Its Plttsburg warehouse and scour the ontral west for warehouse orders. Plttsburg , , Oct. 19. It Is reported icro that not only has the steel cor poration established a warehouse. In New York and nearly completed ono n Plttaburg , but that similar struc tures will bo erected In St. Louis , De troit , Chicago , Now Orleans , and San ranclsco to handle steel products for the territories which those ' 'Itles feed. The despatch of twenty salesmen fiom the Carnegie Steel company hero to secure orders In the central west waa made without public announcement several daya ago , It la said , In vlow of the alleged excessive demands for prlco concessions made by the job bers. Gossip In steel circles hero went so far as to say It Is understood the jobbers may establish an Independent steel plant In Cleveland and supply their own warehouses. New Bassett Band , IJassett.

" Ho said In part : "I do not regard It a Mattering com pliment for a preacher to be called 'a ladles' man. ' I know of some minis ters who make It a point to be always In the company of the women mem bers of their congregation. They sit with them In church , flirt with them on the street and stroll with them In the parks. They Joke and romp with other men's wives , daughters and sis ters when you could not induce them to treat their own wives in the same manner. "This devlllshness , which grows with years , needs watching with nn eagle's eye. It is born of hell and you can trace it wherever it goes by wrecked lives and families and church es which It leaves In its deadly wake. "I like to see a man gallant and ready to protect womanhood , but when the exhibition of a false gallantry Is made an excuse simply for gratifying a man's love for womnn'p society and his real motives become apparent It Is time steps wore taken to relegate him to the shelf.

" Harvard Student Makes Messages Come to Novel "Aerial. " Cambridge , Mass. , Oct. 19. Robert \ . Morton of Brooklyn , a senior at larvnrd college and a student of vireless telegraphy , has used a com- neil iron bedstead an the "aerial" 'or transmission and reception of wire- ess messages. The bedstead Is not on the roof , an ) iie might believe , but reposes In Its Ightful place In the bedroom of the 'xperimentcr. ' With windows and doors and all other openings to the outer world closed , the messages come and go by ncdliim only of the bedstead , prov- ng Morton's contention that an aerial on a roof Is not a necessity , and that wireless messages will pierce any- hing but steel. She for Feed. Alnsworth Democrat : So far as < nown Charles Harr , who resides near Johnstown , Is the only man who rn- sides in Brown county who has test ed the silo its a feed proposition. His experiment on a small scale has ; iroven so satisfactory that he has indertaken to put up an Immense unoiint of feed In this manner this vear. Mr. Harr's silo Is twenty feet wide and thirty feet deep , and capa ble of holding at least 200 tons of feed. Mr. Harr expects to place the corn rom thirty-five acres of ground in. . this particular silo , so It can be seen that the capacity of the latter Is not very small. Mr. Harr has purchased a consid erable amount of machinery to assist n the work of preparing the corn for the silo , and among this is a 20-horso power portable gasoline engine , two corn binders and a large sized cut ter. By the use of the silo the corn stalks are kept as gre n as when they were put up , and ns a conao- quenco are a great feed for cattle. Mr. Harr follows the dairy business t quite extensvcly | , and the silo has proven Its worth as n feed for milk cows. Many other Brown county farmers have watched Mr. Harr's ex periments and as a result the silo will become a familiar object on our farma within the next few years. Dahlman's Record. Valentino Searchlight : While sher iff of Dawes county from October 18 , 1890 , to September 18 , 1893 , Mr. Dahl- man charged $5,387.96 for making thir ty trips , taking people to state Insti tutions , and as stated in the Nebraska State Capital , charged the state with 1,016 miles every time he brought a prisoner down , and charged ton cents a mile as mileage while riding on n pass. "Possibly the climax of humor was reached when on Juno 1 , 1893 , the sheriff desired to take his wife down to Kearney on a shopping excursion. So , on the voucher for transporting Ada M. Murray to the Industrial school , ( voucher 77105) ) ho charged up 1.010 miles for himself and 1,016 for Mrs. Dahlmati , and Jolted the state for a total fee of 194.414. The state board failed to catch the humor of the situation and trimmed the bill to $137.84. The hoard probably had no objection to wasting the money of the state , but objected to the extreme honor shown Ada M. Murray in the furnishing of such a distinguished retinue. "All this rake-off of $5.387.90 waa no doubt commendable when Jim wns 'such a good sheriff of Dawos county' hut the inference Is plain that under the enlarged opportunities which must como to a governor with all the state institutions under his control , nn en larged burst of humor might actually bankrupt the state.
