WINTER PROTECTION OF YOUNG
APPLE TREES.
The Nebraska Farmer givusthe follow
ing directions for eariagfar yoang apala
trees from one who Jus had experience
in that line: . ? ' . . -
"While there are a great maay different
washes and soaps on the market to keep
pests from girdling fruit trees, a very
male aad eftcient method is as follows:
First clean away by palling all weeds
close around the trass, then wrap loosely
around she body of each tree pieeaof
tar paper,, that will completely cover it
from the groand up the tree a distance
of not less than two feet six inches high.
This fasten at both ends with a piece of
stove pipe wire. Never use binder twine
or a cord of any description, as it is apt
to rot or break, or be cut by mice, leav
ing the paper loose, which would destroy
the protection.
Proceed with the job of wrapping the
trees in the following manner: First,
find out how many trees you wish to
protect; then cut the desired number of
pieces of tar paper the right length, and
wide enough to go around each tree at
least once and a half times, and with a
pair of cutting pliers cut a sufficient
number of wires to fasten the papers,
then you are ready for badness.
By preparing all the material before
you start, you will find it but a small job
to put it on and no tools will be needed,
except the hand that shucks from seventy-five
to one hundred bushels of
corn per day."
Ok the Osage reservation, Indian Ter
ritory, September 24, occurred the most
elaborate wedding in the history of the
Osage Indians. This weddingis thought
by the other Indians to be about the last
of its kind that will ever be celebrated
by this tribe. This conclusion is due to
the inroads civilization is making upon
Indian customs, and is also largely due
to the fact that nearly all of the younger
members of the tribe areentering schools,
and the influence of these schools makes
them drop their native habits and cus
toms. This wedding even was not letter
perfect, according to all the rites of the
red man, and at one time it looked as
thoagfa the ceremony would be'declared
off because the groom refused to attire
himself in blanket and red paint. The
contracting parties were Arthur Bonnie
castle, a follblood Osage, and Angie
Penn.k The bride has a small strain of
white blood in her veins, her father being
a mixed blood, but her mother
f ullblood Osage squaw.

Monroe Republican.
The Richland correspondent of the
Schuyler Free Lance says: "Byron
Bitter, the night operator, walked to
Columbus in two hours on Monday,
returning on the train.... Mr. Samuel
Mueller, living on the William Busche
farm northwest of town four miles, has
purchased the Barnum farm near Co
lumbus for $20,000. Mr. Mueller has
been in various parts of the country
with a view of purchasing land. He has
been in Oklahoma, in Virginia and also
in the northern portion of this state as
well as in Dakota, but he found it
nowhere better than here.
Our readers will remember mention
of the tragic death of Mrs. Drapela at
Schuyler on September 4 last She was
killed by a fast passenger train while
standing on a crossing in that city await
ing the arrival of her daughter and son-in-law
coming on another train, who had
come to Columbus and been married
that day by Judge Batterman. The city
of Schuyler brought suit against the
engineer of the train, Matthew Decker,
and Monday of last week in police court,
he was fined $50 and costs for running a
train through the city at a greater speed
than eight miles an boat, contrary to the
dty ordinance. The Schuyler Quill says:
"Decker pleaded not guilty and the
defense moved to have the case dismissed
on the grounds that the ordinance was
defective, in that it prohibits a railroad
from tanning trains at a greater speed
than eight miles an hour and an indi
vidual was arrested for the crime. The
magistrate held that the ordinance was
good and overruled the motion. Engi
neer Decker waa the only witness for the
defense. He said he was working under
the immediate direction of the conductor
of the train; received his orders from the
conductor and looked to him for orders
only. Attorney Wertz summed up the
evidence in a few words and Attorney
Phelps attacked the prosecution for fail
ing to prove the ordinance, it not being
offered in evidence. He also claimed it
was the conductor and not the engineer
who 'should be tried, as he gave the
orders and the engineer was only carry
ing out the orders of a superior officer.
Wertz replied to the argument on the
grounds that all police magistrates
should take judicial notice of ordinances
in their cities or towns. Without hesi
tating Judge Sutherland found the de
fendant guilty as charged. The ease
was immediately appealed to the dis
trict court."
Thursday's Omaha Bee gave an
account of a Columbus man who found
trouble in that city. The First National
bank officials here, who are referred to in
the item, say that Mr. Brasch had de
posited, his money with them about one
year ago, and about one week ago got his
certificate of deposit The following is
the Bee's version of the affair: "Carl
Brasch, late of Columbus, awoke to the
fact that he had had $400 worth of ex
perience Wednesday afternoon, when the
effects of a plethora of bad liquor wore
off. Brasch immediately conceived that
he had been held up by a gang of confi
dence men and went to the poUee station,
where he 'related a hair-raising story of
thrilling adveataree with four men, who
beat him out. of all his avaikblecash and
a certificate of deposit on the First
National hank of Colnmbua. It required
just fifteen mutates for Sergeant Heavey

A Girl
Is announced for next Friday, Nor. 27, at
North opera house. Telling as it does a
story parely of the great Northwest, and
dealing with the life and affairs of a
young Swede girl, it should prove of
interest to those who are acquainted
with the Scandinavian types. It is a
love story, but with no mawkish senti
mentality. A clean story, and at the
same time an amusing one, having not
only a Swede girl, but a typical Swede
boy which fact has given Chas. W. Chase
the dramatist an opportunity to weave
around them a delightful love story
using the events in their homely lives
most effectively to form a play full of
all that is picturesque and attractive to
the lover of stage romance.

The pure-bred cattle and hog sale last
Tuesday of which The Jodrhal had but
a mention last week, was not so wdl
attended as it should have been, and had
the weather been more favorable there
would undoubtedly have been a huge
crowd out This was the first pure-bred
stock sale in this community and the
people have not yet. begun to appreciate
the importance, of such an occasion, or
there would have been more at the
Tuesday sale.
8tock men from out of town began to
arrive here Monday, and by Tuesday
there waa a number of men present who
were judges of fine animals.
The entire sales amounted to over one
thousand dollars, although a number of
the listed animals were not sold, as Mr.
Davies thought the bias offered too low
to be considered.
We mention a few of the buyers and
prices paid for the animals: Three-year-old
cow with calf, W. F. Dodds, $145.
A. W. Lamb, Monroe, two-year-old heifer
and calf, $85. Oscar Saadarman, Madi
son, two three-year-old cows, $85 and
$90. J. H. Blodgatt, Oconee, one cow,
$65. Walter Eastman, Colambas, two-year-old
heifer, $65.
The hogs sold at an average of $23
each,spnngpigsbringingashighss$46.
We give a mention of some of the buyers
of hogs:. J. B. Davis of Fairview, Kan
sas, purchased two; A.B. Fogie of Bald
win, Kansas, one; W.G. Page k Son of
Friend, Nebr, two; Robert Burt of
Lyons, Nebr., five. The remainder were
purchased by far mere in this community.
Although Mr. Davies thinks he got low
prices for his animals, he is satisfied that
be has made a good hryanisg for the
saw of good stock. Mr. Page of Friend,
a man of eaparieace, and eoaaidsrad aa
authority among stock man of the state,
rwarrsd that ho had never visited a

Corn husking is progressing in real
earnest since the recent cold snap, and
while some have finished, there will be

separate and fed out.
In the hurry with fall work don't for
get to keep an eye on your nock, and if
by chance, some hawk "in pants' should
attempt' a midnight raid, don shoes and
hat and demand who art thou? and
where are you at? aad we believe it
would be wisdom to take along with you
that-old rusty splint gun, for when they
know you have it near it serves better
than argument to persuade them to
enter into conversation with you; but
keep cool.
