Weiii-ir LEADEES ' OF LOW PRICES. SAMPLES. Iff ID i We heart.ilv Recnnd tho KAntimnnr nf I the Omaha Bepublican when speaking of the Edmunds bill for the protection of U. S. officers from assault and murder while in the discharge of their duties; it says: "A short time ago United States Mar shal Saunders, of Florida, was murdered while in tho discharge of his duty. He was engaged in tho task of arresting democratic ballot box 6tuffers. The proof against a number of them was so overwhelming that something desperate had to be done. Saunders was invited to taka a ride out into tho country with a couplo of democratic politicians. A few hours later one of his companions, Miller by name, drove back into town with the dead body of Saunders, who had been shot behind the ear. No ex planation of the killing was offered, none asked, so far as reports go. Miller simply unloaded the body of the dead marshal and drove away. Another mar shal was told that it wasn't healthy for him there, and he very discreetly left the place. Up to date the local authorities have not made an effort to apprehend the murderer. Indeed, so far as out ward appearances go, thoy are not aware that a crime has been committed. In such a contingency isn't it alout time the United States govern meat made an effort to protect its own representatives? It is to cover just such cases that the Edmunds law is intended, and its pas sage will bo an act of justice long de layed. The murderer of Marshal Saun ders should be arrested, tried and pun ished if it takes the whole machinery of tho United States government to bring it about. The trouble is that the sovereignty of the nation is not sufficiently asserted in some parts of the country to make itself felt and respected. Times are changing somewhat, and we may confidently hope that before many years, the country will be divided by other issues than those which were fought over, a quarter of a century ago. The Stipply of Feeder. If there is any one thing in tho cattle business that can be laid down as a cer tainty, it is that feeders are scarce in the country. The marketing of young cat tle and cows, which has been carried on to such an extent for the past two years had tho natural result to diminish the supply of young cattle. The number has decreased until in some sections of Nebarska and Iowa, where formerly feeders could be bought in almost any number, there is now none to be had. Dealers in that class of cattle who have made it a business to buy feeders on the breeding grounds and sell them out to farmers, report that they have had hard work to fill orders, and some of them have had to come to the yards here to get what they wanted. The number of feeders sold here is really surprising for this time of year. Most everything good sells, and it does not make much difference whether it is a bunch of choice yearlings or a bunch of half fat steers. With the decrease in the supply, prices are strengthening up, as a glance at the sales, given in the Stockman every day will-show. S. O. Stockman. The papers of Western Texas seem to place considerable dependence upon the coming meeting at 4 Fort Worth. They claim that something will bo done at that meeting to help out the cattle business. The Stock Grower can tell in advance just what will bo done at the convention. Resolutions will be adopted condemning the methods of the big four. The resolutions will have pretty much the same effect upon the big four as nothing. Such resolutions remind one of Phil. Armour's scheme for saving his soul from eternal hell fire. In connec tion with his side partners he legally rols the cattlemen of America out of fifty or sixty millions a year and then builds a church or two. thinking to cheat the devil out of his due. This paper would like to see the stockmen of Texas do something, but considers the conven tion plan a poor. one. (New Mexico Stock Grower.

Jerry Dee, who in company with Mott went with Neal to the Finney farm to drive the stock into South Omaha, re lates an incident indicating knowledge on the part of Neal that old Mrs. Jones' body was hid iu the hay stack where it was found. At the farm Dee suggested to Neal the advisability of placing sosie hay in the wagon bed for the calf to lie on while being hauled into the city. Dee accompanied the suggestion with pointing to about the spot where the old lady was found, and saying that there was some good hay for the purpose. "No, no," Neal said quickly, "that hay is too good for that purpose. On the other side of the stack the hay is poorer and we will use some of it." He suited his actions to his words and hurriedly brought Dee to the opposite side of the stack, where a handful of hay was gathered up and placed on the wagon bed. Bee. Chris Jensen of Eaton township came to Nebraska from Chicago in 1877. He is one of those that believe immensely in Nebraska and Nebraska soil.

GOODS WE HAVE JUST OPENED AT PRICES FROM v BEE KEEPING. I it Practicable or Desirable for the Av erage Farmer? Following is a paper read before the Farmers' Institute of Platte and adjoin ing counties at Columbus, by Mrs. J. N. Heater, Feb. 21, 1890: Upon receiving a request from your committee for a paper on this subject, I was somewhat surprised that it should lie considered a question, as to whether the keeping of bees is practicable or desirable for the average farmer, since bee - keeping is strictly an agricultural pursuit, and of the utmost importance to the farmer, if the honey consideration were not taken into account at all. Man in his selfish ness fosters those imrsnits which irive promise of profit or pleasure to himself, and according to samanthn Allen must be reasoned with by way of his stomach, so, with visions of quantities of honey, he makes his investment in bees, not knowing he is to receive another and perhaps greater reward. To be a bee keeper it does not follow that one must be a master or specialist, any more than he must le a fancier in order to raise his own fowls. In our opinion there is no more fitting place on earth for tho keeping of bees, than on the farm; providing, of course, that the farmer or his wife has the time and inclination to give them prop er attention. One gentleman living near town bought a single swarm and in one year's time found himself the pos sessor of four colonies of bees and fort pounds of surplus honey. Another farmer bought one colony, and at the end of three years, had eleven colonies of bees, and an abundant supply of honey during the whole time, for a large family. These are not cited as extraor dinary cases by any means, but simply to show what ordinary farmers in your midst are doing, who make no preten tions to giving their bees special care. I might refer you to others, present with us today, who are giving more time and attention to this branch of their work, and making a grand success of it. Let no one suppose, however, that bee-keeping is a pleasant pastime which lazy and incompetent people can take up with success. The man who always drives poor horses and finds winter storage for his farm machinery in the open field, has no business with bees. But any man or woman wno wiu learn tne business and begin wisely, can find in bee-keeping with farming, a healthful pursuit; and supply their own tables at least, with a pure, delicious article of food to take the place of the adulterated sweets which they are forced to take at the stores. This, however, is only an indi vidual benefit, except as the possessor may choose to share the spoil with his fellow man, but there is another benefit which the neighbor shares equally with the owner: for our little pets, thoutrh seldom accorded the compliment, are direct benefactors. to the florist, horti culturist and farmer in fact to any one who wishes to produce fruit, grain or vegetables, by their constant visits from blossom to blossom, carrying the pollen from the anthers of one to the stigmas of another of the same kind; and any one with the most meagre knowledge of botany will understand that this is the plan of the Creator, for tho reproduction of the vegetable kingdom; else, why would flowers depending on insect fertil ization be so cunningly constructed that in order to reach the honey, the insect must forcibly brush against the pollen, .thus dusting itself in one flower and carrying it to another, where the pro cess is repeated? In this connection we nlainlv see wisdom in the instinct with which the honey bee is endowed, to visit the same species of plant or flower until a full load of honey is ob tained. Other insects do, indeed, play some part in this important work, but no other honey and pollen gathering in sect increases with such rapidity in the spring, before fruit trees and small fruits blossom. An excellent authority places the number of colonies of bees in the United States, in 1881, at 3,000,000. During the working season the average number of bees per colony is from 35,000 to 40,000. Who then can estimate the benefit to" the crops of fruit and grain, derived through the agencies of such myriads of little marriage-priests among the flowers? This alone would warrant the keeping of bees in many localities, as indeed, is often done. A fruit grower of Madison county. Neb., bought a colony of bees 6olely for the purpose of having them fer tilize the blossoms of a half acre of strawberries of a certain variety, and was repaid with a fine setting of fruit, while in previous years he bad only ob tained a partial crop. Charles .Darwin. that eminent English naturalist whose careful experiments have added so much to our knowledge of plants and insect life, states in his work on Cross and Self Fertilization, that out of 125 species that he covered with netting, excluding in sects when in bloom, more than half were entirely sterile, or produced less than half the number of seeds of the un protected plants. I will cite only two of the many so treated by him, namely, white and red clover, I quote: "Several plants were protected from insects and the seeds from ten flower heads of these plants, and from ten heads on other plants grown outside the net (which I saw visited by bees) were counted, and the seeds from the latter plants were very nearly ten times as numerous as those from the protected plants. The experiment was repeated the following year, and twenty protected heads now yielded only a single aborted seed, whilst twenty heads on plants outside the net (which I saw visited by bees) yielded 290 seeds. Of red clover 100 covered heads gave nothing, and 100 heads uncovered produced 2,720 seeds." Our fruits are fully as dependent upon insect life as are tne clover, for in stance, take the apple. Call to mind the five beautiful pinkish white leaves, with a cluster of yellow, pollen bearing WHITE SIX CENTS A YARD stamens in the center. Then that each blossom carries five stigmas, and each stigma is is connected with the core fruit. At the proper time the tiny nec taries are filled with nectar, when the flower is prepared to receive the pollen grains from the dusty bees as they are flitting among them, intent only upon their own crazy greed for honey, wholly unconscious of the wonderful part they are playing in a still more wonderful nature, for the nectar is never secreted until the pollen grains are ripe and ready for use, when it slowly oozes forth each day, a constant bait for the bees until the pollen is ripe and gone. But as we have observed, there are five of these stigmas, and without a distinct fertiliz ation of each one separately an imperfect fruit is formed which in most cases con stitutes the windfalls. Opposite the hollow cheek on an apple will lie found miniature seeds, showing that an im perfect fertilization had taken place if any at all, in that particular pistil. The apple being one of a large class of blos soms in which the anthers and pistils do not mature at the same time, self-fertil ization is impossible, and a cross must be obtained from another blossom of the same species of plant. Gooseberries, currants and raspberries are also largely indebted to insects for the fruit they bear and, in the last two, undeveloped parts are often found due to imperfect fertilization, as in the apple and clover. It has lieen stated that unless we have a few hours of sunshine when early cherries are in bloom, we shall have no cherries at all, and we frequently have a season when cold nun storms so pre vent the bees from getting out, that not a cherry is produced. Our prairie grasses are rapidly disap pearing under the advancing cultivation of all available land, and in many locali ties hay and pasturage is already be coming a subject for serious considera tion. Tame grasses must supply the want, but the question is, from which kind may the greater benefit be derived? I need not mention the superiority of the clovers over Hungarian, timothy, millet and red-top in .regard to richness of hay, building up exhausted land, etc., but I do wish to call your attention to the fact that with any of the clovers, still another crop may be obtained, of delicious nectar. Do not misunder stand me; this is not intended as an ad vertisement of bees, but the fact is in disputable that in order, to secure fertil ization of the clover blossoms, we must depend upon insect agencies. Not all strains of bees are able to work on the red clover heads, owing to the depth of the floweret cup, but the bumble bee and the Italian hive bees 'having longer tongues will work on it, and especially on the second growth, which you all know is your seed crop, though it may not have occurred to you that the very reason the second growth yislds the crop of seed is because the tjpwer neads are smaller and the cups shorter making it possible for the insects to accomplish their -work. A few years ago our common red clover was introduced to Australia, and it made a most rapid growth in that warm, rich soil, but they were unable to raise one bit of seed. After trying for some time in vain, it was suggested that bumble bees were required to fertilize the bloom. Some nests were according ly shipped from the New England states and the result was considered wonder ful, for seed was then raised without trouble. But the clover spread faster than tho bumble bees increased, when the same difficulty was again experienc ed; and in 1888 a Mr. McDonald of Lex ington, achieved prominence by bis en deavor to secure $10,000 worth of Kentucky bumble bees to be shipped to Australia. Having shown the utility of the honey bee in producing surer, larger and bet ter crops, may it not safely be consider ed an advantage to have bees at work on every farm in our eastern states one is almost as certain of finding a number of colonies of bees on every farm as the indispensable pig sty. Certain it is, that the long row of white painted, old style box hives, and the proverbial biscuit that "mother made" furnish some of the sweet memories of our own childhood days. WafthiRgtoa letter. From oar regular correspondent. Senator Dolph, from the committee on coast defenses, has reported a bill to the senate which appropriates 9123,000,000 to be spent in installments on coast de fenses between the first of next July and the 30th of Jnne, 1903. There are four contested election cases three seating republican con testants and one confirming a sitting democrat ready to be disposed of by the house, and notice has been given that they will be called up as soon as the house disposes of the world's fair. It is stated at the capital today that the senate committee on finance has de cided to report favorably the bill to in crease the coinage of silver to $4,000,000 a month. Secretary Windom opened the sealed bids which had been received in answer to his advertisement for proposals for the exclusive rights to take seals in Alaskan waters for twenty years, last Friday.

The city of Washington is an object of perennial interest to all patriotic Ameri cans. Not alone because it is the great throbbing heart of the mightiest and grandest republic the world has ever known, but also on account of its ma terial magnificence. All Americans take pride in its beautiful avenues, majestic architecture, stately homes, and well stored galleries and museums as things of grandeur and beauty in themselves, apart from the historic interest with which it is invested. It is a hope and aspiration of all "young America," at least, to some time or other visit the cap ital of his country. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad offers unequaled facilities in aid of this desire. All its through trains between New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore on the east, and Pittsburg, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago on the west, pass through Wash ington. Its fast express trains are vesti buled from end to end and heated with steam. Pullman's latest and best pro ductions in the way of sumptuous draw ing room sleeping cars are attached to all its through trains.
