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.

She Had Troubles.
Witten Independent : Miss Lena
Kositsky called at this olllce the first

able and she slipped from the wagon
and rode down the hill on the wagon
tongue. At another hill the wagon
got stuck and she had to walk a
half mile to got someone to help pull
the load out. To complete the trouble
coming to town Tuesday one of the
burs become loose on the wagon and I
went unnoticed for about three miles

course , had to be found. She is iiv
deed in more trouble than the pro
verbial cranberry merchant.
TOO MANY PREACHERS FLIRT.
Bishop Weekly of U. B. Church De
clares Ministers Need Watching.
York. Pa. , Oct. 19. While addressIng -
Ing the Pennsylvania United Brethern
conference at Dallas Town yesterday
Bishop W. M. Weekly of Kansas City
scored those ministers who are un
duly familiar with the women of their
churches.
The bishop's subject was "Little
Foxes Among Ministerial Vines. " 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. "
Plan New French Strike.
Paris , Oct. 19. A manifesto Issued
by the strike committee of the aa-

mally called off the strike , declares )
that unconditional surrender wan bet
ter than humiliating negotiations with
the government , whoso dictatorial at
titude was an unjust violation of ayn-
! dlcal and Individual liberty. The man-
; Ilivto goes on to say that It was bo-
Moved the demands of the railroad
i mpioyes would be granted because
they were backed by public sympathy.
It appeals to the wage earners to
unite for a new battle for their rights.
ANOTHER JOLT FOR DR. COOK.
New York , Oct. ! . Prof. Herachel
C. Parker of Columbia university , who

USES IRON BED FOR "WIRELESS. "
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. "
