Itonnd to Have Their Bfornlnc Kiss.
It is not often that a fond young
couple will repeatedly expose them
selves to the ridicule of hundreds of
people for the pleasure of a kiss, but
such is the case with a young man and
a young woman who part a few mo
ments before 7 o'clock each morning
at a prominent Philadelphia corner,
according to a local account. The
young man is a tall, handsome fellow,
who seems to think there is no prize
in the world half so fine as the little
woman who clings affectionately to his
side. They invariably step at the cor
ner for a few moments' chat before
parting, and the sad look on both their
faces is almost enough to break the
iceman's heart. When it is nearly time
for the whistle to blow the young man
takes his darling tenderly in his arms
and plants on her pretty lips a long,
lingering kiss. Numerous remarks, such
as "Oh, baby!" and "Does you lub your
honey?" are cast at the couple from
the mill windows, but does not seem to
affect the j-oung man's nerve in tha
least.
Ross Made the Discovery.
Major Donald Ross, a medical offi

to discover that the transmission of
malaria from one human being to an
other was largely due to mosquitoes.
His discovery resulted from thorough
investigation of a widespread epidemic
of the disease named among troops in
India. Major Ross is now on his way
to Sierre Leone, Africa, a region of
deadly climate, where he and his party
will try to exterminate mosquitoes
with petroleum.

SECRETARY LONG IS TO RESIGN
Other Members Will Probably Finish
Their Tersss Senators Fay Kesnects
to Mr. Keoserelt Secretary Cortolyoa
Besaalas ff Ith Booaerelt.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Alter a
suspense cf three days as a mark of
respect to tho dead president the busi
ness of the government at Washing
ton was resumed yesterday. The train
bearing President Roosevelt and his
cabinet arrived at the Pennsylvania
station at 9:20 o'clock and fifteen min
utes lates the president entered the
white house and going to the elevator
proceeded at once sto the cabinet
room, where President McKinley was
wont to do most of his work. When
the new chief executive reached the
white house he walked briskly to the
big front door, which swung wide
open to receive him.
Secretary Long, who soon joined
him, informed the president as to the
condition of affairs in his office and
was asked as to the work of the
Schley court of inquiry. With Senator
Cullom, President Roosevelt exchang
ed pleasant greetings and received the
assurance of the hearty support of the
Illinois senator. With Senator Proc
tor there was a similar exchange of
expressions of good will.
The president's former secretary,
Mr. Lofcb, jr., will remain with him
prcbahly as assistant secretary. Mr.
Cortelyou, at the president's earnest
request, will retain his position as his
secretary.
At 11 o'clock all the members of the
cabinet had arrived at the white house
and soon were seated around the fa
miliar table. President Roosevelt oc
cupied a seat at the head and in the
chair long occupied by his predecessor.
It all seemed strange to these devoted
advisers of the dead president, to sit
at the table without him at its head,
and the gloom and solemnity which
characterized the meeting was not
unbefitting the occasion. Nearly all
the members of the present cabinet
are quite sure to remain during Mr.
Roosevelt's term, but it is very prob
able that Secretary Long will retire
within the next few months. He feels
that he can resign without embarrass
ment to Mr. Roosevelt and therefore it
Is thought that within the next few
months he will ask the' president to
permit him to retire to private life.
The cabinet was in session about an
hour and a half, all of the time be--ing
spent in a general review of the'
more important questions which will
require the attention of the new pres-;
ident.
All the members were present ex
cept Attorney General Knox, who
stopped for a few days in Pittsburg.
Each member explained to the presi
dent the policy which had been fol
lowed in dealing with the matters
under consideration and their present
status. No new business was taken
up.
Members subsequently expressed
themselves as having full confidence
In Mr. Roosevelt's ability to give the
country a strong, able and conserva
tive administration, and he will have
their loyal support to the same de
gree as they gave It to the late pres
ident. It is thought that Tuesdays
and Fridays will be selected by the
new chief executive as cabinet days,
following in this the preference of Mr.
McKinley.
DIETRICH HOMEWARD BOUND
Senator Reaches San Francisco and at
Once Starts for Nebraska.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21. United
States Senator Charles H. Dietrich of
Nebraska, who has been on a visit to
the Philippines, returned on the Nip
pon Maru and immediately started for
his .home. He left there June 20 on
the transport Hancock for Manila, in
company with Adjutant General Cor
bin. General Weston and Congressman
Julius Kahn. Soon after reaching the
Philippines these officials, with Sur
geon General Sternberg, made a cir
cuit of the archipelago on the trans
port Lawton. All were highly pleased
with the progress, made under Amer
ican administration, no dissatisfaction
among the Filipinos being apparent.
The more southerly ports of the
island, of which comparatively little
could be heard, were found to be pros
perous, with American and Filipincs
fraternizing. The future of the Phil
ippines, in the opinion of Senator
Dietrich, is very promising.
Seeklac Roosevelt's Sister.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 21. The
police are looking for a man who ap
proached several pedestrians today and
asked the address of President Roose
velt's sister, the wife of Commodore
Cowles of the navy. Several officers
were detailed to guard the Cowles res
idence. The man is described as about
40 years old, speaks with a foreign
accent, has a light moustache, wears
dark clothes and carried a box about
eight inches long and three wide.
Bishop Whipple's Fnneral.
FARIBAULT, Minn., Sept 21. Far

day the earthly remains of Bishop
Whipple were consigned to their last
resting place. The services were sol
emn and impressive and were witness
ed by thousands of people. The serv
ices began with the celebration of holy
communion in the bishop's chapel in
his late residence for the members of
his family only. Bishop Edsall and
Dean Slattery officiated.

McKinley. The applications are by
telegraph, telephone and malL The
first application was received one hour
after the president's 'demise. Every

QROCERS OCT TOGETHER
Kebraska Orgaalsatlea Cessnietea aaa
Osseees for Kngsnlns; Tear Chosen.
OMAHA, Neb., Sept 23. The Ne
braska Retail Grocers' association has
completed its organization and the 150
members who have subscribed to the
constitution and by-laws have joined
hands for the purpose of mutual pro
tection and the advancement of their
interests. A campaign will be inaug
urated until all of the grocers of the
state are induced to become members.
The organization was perfected at the
session yesterday afternoon, when the
following officers were elected:
President, J. B. Coningham, Lin
coln; vice president O. C. Thompson,
Blair; secretary, H. Fischer, Omaha;
treasurer, F. A. Mifler, Beatrice.
The next meeting place will be at.
Lincoln, during September, 1902, the
exact date to be fixed by the executive
committee that will be named by the
president at a later date.
Exemptions were handled in an ex
haustive manner, and the position
was taken that the deadbeat should be
helped to become honest by the pass
age of laws making it possible to col
lect pay for goods sold. Hundreds of
men, aided by the present collection
laws, the grocers claimed, are enabled
to cheat and defrand their grocers,
and there is no recourse.
The speaker held that the present
exemption laws are unfair to the
single man, as they permit the taking
of even his clothing if it can be found
off his back, while his more fortunate
associate who is married can run bills,
and there is no way of reaching him.

HASTINGS. Neb., Sept. 23. While
the grand entry of Pawnee Bill's show
was in progress one of the cowboys
was accidentlly thrown with his horse

if he will survive. The accident was
caused by one of the horses catching
a shoe of the horse in front of it. Both
rider and horse were thrown to the
ground.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cay., Sept 19.
The Call prints a story to the effect

occasion of the G. A. R. encampment,
and that he called for letters, giving
the name of Fred Neiman.

put the ground in excellent condition.
As the fall wheat was the winning
crop here this year a very large acre

tle fall wheat has been sown in this
county until the last few years, but
the farmers are finding it the surest
crop of this section, and will govern
themselves accordingly.

she and children are much prostrated
over the sad event.

late Blight of Potatoes.
The Vermont station sends out a
circular warning farmers of tho ap
pearance of late blight In part the
circular says: Potato blight Is threat
ening Vermont fields. Unless proper
measures are promptly taken to meet
this disease there will be serious dam
at) to the crop. Professor Jones, bot
anist of the Vermont Experiment Sta
tion, has been visiting potato fields
and stands back of this information.
Tire professor reports that he has very
recently found the first symptoms of
the late blight In no case was it very
far advanced. A few leaves on each
affected hill showed the brownish
black spots and when examined care
fully on the under side each spot re
vealed the delicate white mildew
which is the cause of the disease,
prompt application of Bordeaux mix
ture in such fields Is the only thing
that can prevent serious loss from
blight and rot The best remedy for
late blight is the Bordeaux mixture,
which is made as follows: Take 1
pounds of blue vitriol (copper sul
phate) and 1 pound of quick lime (not
air slaked) to ten gallons of water.
Dissolve the vitriol in one-half the
water, slake the lime in another ves
sel and add it to the rest of the water,
thus making a thin whitewash. Then
mix the two and stir thoroughly. Add
parts green if desired for bugs. This
may be applied in whatever way is
most convenient, the aim being to
cover the upper surface of every leaf
as completely as possible. This can
be done best and most economically
of both time and mixture by means of
a spray pump. But a sprinkling can
or, even a pail and a wisp of hay may
serve the purpose in the absence of
the pump. Be sure to apply liberally,
using at least three barrels to the;
acre. Bordeaux mixture will not in
jure the plants if used in any amount
Do the work promptly and thoroughly
or it will be of little use.
Loos a Dairying.
A California correspondent of
Hoard's Dairyman, writing to that pa
per, says:
I am an eastern man, New Hamp
shire birth, and find things are very
different here from east of the Rockies.
I have lived in Iowa and spent one
year at the Ames Dairy School. Here
i man, if he has some land, puts a wire
fence around it, and makes a wire cor
ral In one corner of the lot, cuts out
some cows from his bunch of stock,
hires a few Swiss. Dagoes, or Mexi
cans; gets a rope, or one to each man.
perhaps, a bucket each, and, lo! he is
in the dairy business. I know of
ranches here where the manager will
not go near the milk corral for days
at a time, trusting everything to the
milkers. I know of one herd of cows
that had 25 cows out of 125 that had
only three teats each, and another herd
had 15 out of 75. One born and three
teats, they say, la a sign of a Swiss
milker. Milkers here are required to
milk 30 cows each, twice a day; they
receive $30 to $35 per month, with
board. I wonder how an eastern man
would like to be sent into a corral with
175 to 200 cows all loose, and be told
to find and milk his thirty twice a day;
possibly he might have to lasso and
rope ten of the number before he could
milk, and yet this Is done from one
year's end to another. The smaller
farmers, some of them with 30 to 40
cows, have stanchions to tie in while
they milk, but on the large ones it is
out of doors, In the mud in the rainy
season, and hot sun in summer. Of
course the men spill plenty of milk to
pay interest on a good stanchion, and
some of them are not particular to
chase after a cow when she runs from
them before they get her finished.
This helps account for three teals
sometimes.

and the young turkeys mature earlier
than most breeds, and that appears to
be the thing desired; for what feed it
takes to keep a turkey will almost
fatten a pig. So the earliest maturing
bird is what we want. Some complain
that White Holland turkeys are not
large enough. The largest turkey Is
not always the most desirable for mar
ket People living in cities do not al
ways want an extra large turkey, un
less for hotel or boarding-house. The
White Holland turkey also makes a
better appearance dressed for the mar
ket, for they are naturally plump and
do not have unsightly black pin feath
er marks on them, and when you once
sell them, people want them again.
The meat is juicy and not coarse, and
being small-boned these turkeys carve
to good advantage.
The White Holland turkey Is docile
by nature and lacks the roving dispo
sition we find in some birds. That is
a very good trait docility; for what
is worse than to be constantly running
after the turkeys, knowing they are
an annoyance to neighbors?
Last week the New Jersey crop re
port said: "The horned worm is doing
considerable damage to tomatoes, whole
fields having been destroyed in some
places." This is the same insect that
we illustrated on our Agricultural page
last week. Usually these worms do not
appear in sufficient numbers to -be a
menace to the crop. Hand picking is
about the only method that is recom
mended and is generally effective. The
use of poisons on tomato vines or to
bacco plants can hardly be encouraged,
as tomato plants are already bearing
fruit and tobacco is used entire. When
the worms first appear they should be
all picked off, thus leaving none as a
foundation for future broods. The
worm is familiar to most of our read
ers, being the big green horned worm
frequently seen on tomato plants.
"One thing is true both south and
north, late chicks are not very valua
ble. In the former locality excessive
heat reduces activity and size; and
in the latter early frosts and cold
weather check growth at the other cna
of the season." So says a contem
porary. But we would suggest that by
feeding beef meal or meat in some
form, with green cut bone, even late
chicks can be given a start that will
give them a good size by the time
frosts become frequent. Only those
that have tried it know the effect of
such feeding.
L. A. Goodman, secretary of the Mis
souri State Horticultural Society, re
ports that the drouth of more than 9C
days' duration has inflicted great in
ury on apple and peach orchards. Some
of the orchardists to save their trees
are thinning the fruit one-half. Well
cultivated orchards are holding their
fruit best This is good testimony of
the value of cultivation. The thinning
of the fruit is an excellent idea, espe
cially in a dry year.

Stories of extreme longevity in fam

Vermont, but one will look far even in
that state of nbnogenarians without
finding another group as remarkable as
the Brown family of five generations in

counties. From mother down to great-great-grandmother
they are the picture
of health. Mrs. H. N. Brown was born
in Norage, Conn., June 14. 1812. and

For the Woman He Loves.
Just as rapidly as Rabbi Mayer New
man can accomplish the work, George
Horney of New York is being trans
ferred from a Gentile to a Hebrew.
For a long time Horney has loved
Sarah Kleinman and Sarah has loved
George, who was a member of the
Methodist church. For three years
they debated as to which one of them
should change religion, Horney also
urging that they be married and let
the matter of religion go. But Miss
Kleinman would not consent, and, of
course, the man- was finally forced to
give in. So the other day he applied
to Rabbi Newman to make him a He
brew. It will be necessary for him
to change part of his name, and in fu
ture he will be known as Abraham
Tyson Horney.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Bath. N. Y., Sept. 16th There is

Four physicians of that city once
told Mr. Ayers that he could not live
four days. He had Brights' disease.
As a last resort he tried Dodd's Kid

He says: "I was in the very presence

Sandals May Become Popular.
The fashion of sandal-wearing is
said to be growing popular in Eng
land. The chief objection urged
against the fashion is that it enlarges
the feet permits them to spread
but this, it is claimed, is an error;
the wearing of sandals merely allows
the feet their proper development It
will in variably be found that the per
son with neat, well-shaped hands has
feet to correspond. In allowing the
feet to have the free play that nature
intended them to have is apt to make
them large and ungainly, then sailors,
who spend most of their time and
do most of their work on bare feet,
and who hitherto have always been fa
mous for their neat and well-shaped
ones, will have to abandon their claim
to this coveted possession. Every one
will allow that sandals are the cool
est foot covering for summer, but
doubtless most people will be surprised
to hear that it is claimed that they
are the warmest wear in winter. If
persons suffering from cold feet or
chilblains would wear sandals over
good thick woolen socks, it is said they
would soon find themselves cured of
these afflictions.

states would have been prevented and
some plan would have been discovered
by which a large part of the people
of African descent could have been
returned to Africa. And for the fu

party nominate in 1901 ex-Speaker

To My Many Friends I am pleased
to make a report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and I had in Western
Canada.
We visited the tcrritortie3 or Al
berta, Assiniboia, and Saskatchewan,
and found them far surpassing our im
agination, but little did I expect to
find such rich, loamy soil, so much
of it, and so uniform in its level prai
rie lay. I do think the soil of Canada
as a rule equals if not excels the fin
est prairie farm lauds of Indiana.
These lands ate immense in their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulverized, it is .is pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil.
Western Canada, from my point of
view, offers as line opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge. The long, sunshiny days,
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and
other cereal products. There is scarce
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. The sea
son is too short to depend upon ma
turing field corn. From the stand
point of getting this land read for
the plow, I must say that I never saw
such a vast extent, practically nil
ready so all that one has to do Is to
hitch up the plow and go to work.
This i3 not the case with all the
Canadian land, however; some of it
has quite a bit of timber, much of it
may be called brush land, and some of
it has lovely forest groves, dotted here

CANADA
1 and there, thereby covering a hundred
and sixty acres.
I have no doubt but that this coun
try excels as a grazing or ranching
country, because they havo such rich
grass, having an abundance of rain to
keep it fresh. They also havo plenty
of water streams, and as a rule water
may be reached at a depth of from 2l
to 10 feet. From tills you can s;:e
there can be plenty of hay mown for
winter feeding, and I have had re
liable farmers to tell me that their
stock will feed on hay alone, and be
ready for market in the .spring. Upon
inquiring about the expense of raising
a steer, a farmer replied that he did
not consider it would cost any more
than $4 or ?6 to develop a three-year-old
steer.
I truly think Canada offers a Huo
opening for a young man or a man
who is renting land in Indiana. One
hundred and sixty acres of Rood black
land will cost you on.y 510 at the time
you enter it, and by plowing and cul
tivating five acres each year Tor thrco
years, gives you one hundred and sixty
acres of good land for $10. This land
can be bought from tiie railroad com
panies, private corporations or the gov
ernment for 53 to $4 per acre.
From a financial standpoint. I be
lieve that for a series of years (live)
a young man can make ?10 in Canada,
whereas he would only make ?l here,
and I feel sure that I sjjent more
money to get my eighty acre farm in
White county, Indiana, cultivated than
it would cost me to cultivate eight
hundred acres in Canada. This may
seem a strong view to take o the
matter, but when you take into con
sideration the clearing, ditching, fenc
ing and the expensive breaking in of
the stumps, and then compare the ex
pense to that of land needing only the
breaking, you will conclude that it 13
not such a wild or exaggerated state
ment as you might at first think.
I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos
phere, which was bracing and refresh
ing, and the cool nights which made It
so pleasant for sleep.
On making Inquiries regarding tho
winters in this country, I learned that
the people never suffer from th- cold,
as the weather is dry and invigorat
ing, and in a great many places farm
ers and herders allow their stork to
run outside the year round.
One great advantage to the settlers
In Western Canada is the free cream
eries established by the government
and run exclusively ' in the interest
of the farmer.
I visited Thomas Daley, a farmer
near Edmonton, Alberta, who showed
r..e oats he had raised, some of which
took the first prize at the Paris Ex

110 bushels to the acre in IS'J'J.
