MANAGER EVANS RETURNS HOME He Hcports tJio IlrldRC Enterprise ns Moving Smoothly A Urlilo Sur prised Ky Her Sinter Ilrldc Brpndwny 1'nvliiK. Methodist , Mnltcra. Ilov. W. T. Smith , the presiding elder of the Council BlulTs district of the Methodist Episcopal church , Is now in the fourth year of his labor in this position , which according to the itinerant system is the limit. During this period Methodism seems to have been putting its best foot forward. The showing of the amount of money raised among the churches of the district for missionary pur poses shows a wonderful Increase. This year the total given for this cause reaches $5,20i t which is f 1,003 , more than was raised the preceding - ceding year. It averages nearly $1 n mem ber throughout the United States during last year , when a special effort was made , and successfully , to raise $1,000,000 for missions. The Increase over last year is most noticea ble in view of the fact that four years ago the total receipts of this district for mission ary parposcs was only about $1,400 , whereas now It over reaches $5,000. The increase is particularly noticeable In the Council Bluffs church , which last year gave J2S5 , and this year $500. Shcnancloah Increased 5104 , Its total being $235 , and Blanchard came next with a total of t''CS , nn Increase of 5115. Last year there wcro six or seven new churches nnd one or two new parsonages. This year there will bo at least five now par sonages , in all probability , and perhaps more. Ono is to bo built at Glenwood cost ing $1,200. Ono Is already under way at Logan costing $1,000. The membership in creased about 800 in this district the last year. There ore thirty-two charges , and no vacant pulpits. The Easter service prepared by Elder Smith and printed hero and sent out for use in the various Sunday schools has proved a success. Easter collection cards were also sent out , and fully M > ,000 have been used on this occasion. The church book concerns have also been printing and distributing them. Cntch On to This.

Evans , manager of the Broad way Bridge company , has returned from his southern trip. Ho expressed surprise at the statement made that he had resigned his ofllcial position in the bridge company on ac count of some misunderstanding with other members of the company. Ho said the news papers knew more about it apparently than lie did , for ho never had a plcasanter meet ing than the last ono previous to his starting on his trip. The only reason for resigning was that ho was getting worn out , nnd lie found it almost impossible to attend to the numerous details of the bridge enterprise without allowing his own private bus iness to suffer. He went on this trip to got rest and recreation. He wants the company to relieve him of the management , and to employ some ono who has had more experience in such enterprises , and who can give his whole time to it. Mr. Evans has certainly had great demands u'poi his time and strength , nnd has succeeded wonderfully considering the numerous nut serious obstacles which he has had to en counter , and it is not to bo wondered at thai the others in the company insist on his re taining the management. Ho hns had so great a strain upon him for months that ho began to find his nerves giving way , and deeming a short period of rest absolutely necessary ho took this short trip , enjoy inn it greatly , and returning refreshed and invig orated. His associates will probably insist on his holding his position. It would bo difllcult to secure another who would show so much energy and wisdom. New City Directory.

In accord ance with arrangements made , her daughter , Miss Jennie Volrath , was given in marriage to Mr. Charles Douglas , of Columbus , O. , the ceremony being performed by Uov.

County Recorder Thomas has discovered that some evil disposed person has mutilated record book 1C , In which are recorded a large number of the plats of additions to this city , by cutting and tearing out the two leaves , forming pages 0 , 7 , 18 and 19. The nrst leal was evidently torn out with a Jerk , nnd the other cut with u kalfe , as the marks of the point are plainly distinguishable on the patfo beneath. The missing records are very impoitant , and particularly Just now when the Manaww Motor company is seeking legal means tc compel the Hock Island and Milwaukee rail way companies to consent to grade crossing ! on Ninth t > treet. Pages 18 and 1'J contain the platof lilddlo's subdivision , which shows the Hock Island's and Milwaukee's track ! ) or South Ninth streetnud the plat of Williams1 first shows the location of the Chicago , Bur lington & Oulnoy tracks cast of Main street to Hieh street. On the barks of each of these leaves are recorded the original dedicatory certificates. The objecl for which the mutilation tt.is inado is s mystery , but ono that will bo promptlj inquired into with the almost certair probability that the follow who committee Ihoctlino and the men who advised it wil bo brought to Justice and given the tcra in the penitentiary provided by statute foi such cf lines. The bo a I'd of supervisors are ctJeavorin ; to Bupply the missing records. Kx'CHyEn ? lncer Brodbcck has the original plat of Kiddies'sub nnd has offered to soil it to the county for n proper eoiulderntlon. C H. Allen has n copy of the plat of Williams' first , which ho prepared when gcttlnp out Ills last cltv mflp , nnd which he compared with the original one day last week , and Is wilting to ninkc mi aftldavit that is correct , A now abstract firm hnvo compared copies of the oripnal dedication certificates nnd they nlsg will certify under path that they artS correct. It Is proposed to have these copies inserted with affidavits attached nnd then pet the legislature to pass an act legalizing the transaction. This can easily bo done and its effects will be to case the minds of property owners In Hlddlo's sub-division , and render futile any scheme tliat may bo on foot to take advantage of these records to work harm to the city. The wanton act will not benefit its instigators in the slightest degree. Lots on montillv payments by Frank Cook , number 5 Pearl street. The Cntliollu linznr.

To the Editor of the BKH : In looking over n paper the other day I noticed an item regarding the ago of very old horses. Being in Canada twenty-five years ago I had the pleasure of driving two horses owned by Menzics Brothers , of Perth county , Out. Their numo was Polly and Star. Being again there this last winter , 1888,1 had the same pleasure of driving the same horses , and with the excep tion of Polly being blind , they nro sound in wind and limb and owned by the same Mcnzies Brothers ; Adam , Robert and James. Their ages are : Star , thirty-four years , and Polly thirty-three , and they work when there is work for them to do. Now if any ono can beat that for a horbo story lot them come on , as lean vouch for Star and old Polly. I. S. nrcnlcliiK Bronchos. Denver Range Journal : If you have any horses that should bo broken for next season's work , don't put it olt until the rojnd-np , for you have no right to impose such animals upon your coworkers ers , but break them this winter , so that they will bo ready for n&o when needed , M"y method may not bo the best , but It Is the best I know , and has the merit of turning out well-broken horbos , so I will give it for what it is worth. As most men are obliged to handle all horses in open corrals , wo will absumo that they understand how to catch nnd throw the victim , After ho is down tie a strong hobble on the right fore and left hind foot. Then lot him up. Now take a blanket and go all ever him. If you have done the hobbling well ho can't kick , strick or buck , though ho may try hard to do all three. After ho has become accustomed to the blanket , throw your saddle on nnd drag It off ever his head , histallor anywhere else. Don't hurt him , but lot him feel the cinches under him , or ever him or anywhere else.Vhon ho gets bo ho btands quietly for you to do anything you attempt with himloose , the hobbles , lead him outsido. throw on the saddle and c-limb on. Unless you abuto himor "tired and sulky , " he won't attempt to buckancl although ho Is not bridlo-wlso and has everything to learn , yet has this first lesson done more for him in the future , for it has given him confidence in his trainer. Spoiled horses may bo helped , but never cured that is , the spoiled horse may have In time perfect confidence I'.j his trainer nnd never malso breaks with him , but ho can never be trusted not to play pranks on Btrangors. Horses that blto can bo taught best by daubltj tallow and Cay- anno"p'oimeYou the object to bo bitten. - Strikers can best be taught \ylth a hand. squirt. KiekeVfi , if done fdr nervous ness , may bo cured by tying a shcop- skin to the kflottcr's tail nnd turning him loose on the range. Kicking from wickedness may bo cured by passing a cord from a plaiW bit in the kicker's month to his heels and lot him practice opening his mouth with his jilml fcot a very exciting Uamo when iirst tried. J in < lP\2ir ! \ ; Indjvkhial horses have in dividual eharadteristlc" § the same as people , nnd as no two horses are ex actly alike , so yon moat use all the common sense and judgment you have in handling them. JIow to Make Poultry Pny. American Agriculturist : That season of the year lias arrived when , on the good judgment of the honwifo , depends the commercial success of the poultry yard. Volumes have been written and sdcechcs without limit have boon ut tered on the care and production of poultry , still there seem to bo room for more admonition , so that poultry rais ing should reach a standard of such ex cellence and no valueless product bo on sale. As matters now stand , the great cities of our land , while abundantly provided nro badly off in regard to quality. A steady supply of seasonable poultry is not ollcred. It seems to bo the nlm of superabundant stock , heed less of Its Illness or a demand. The honwifo is generally overworked ; rho duties arc all manifold nnd all of a pressing nature , so none receive the at tention needed. Young women of mod erate education are to bo found by the thousands who work six days a week for $5 or $0 a week , who , if they would bp- como poultry breeders , could in a short time quadruple their earnings. And wo regard it as mo t desirable that women should have a lively personal interest in the working of oar farms. The first thing to insure success Is to know the market ; what kind of poultry is most in request , and at what seasons of the year it in most profitable to boll. No product of the poultry yards pays better than early chickens. From January to April chickens of light weights , being plumu withal , sell from 18c to 2sc per pound , and when very scarce from 30c to 35o ' per pound has'boon reached , as fashion able hotels and restaurants must have chicken to broil. Early ducks also fetch high prices ; fao do medium weight tur keys. A consideration of importance is what breeds of poultry are the best. For early chickens , the Dominiclcs and their near cousinstho Plylnotith Rocks , because of their hardiness of constitu tion. When more care can be bc&towcd than the general poultry breeder { jives , then borne of the French varieties would bo better. The Houdans , the Grove Occurs and tho. La Flccho are un surpassed as table poultry.Vhon late chickens are sought for and very Into pay jubt as well as early and also find less competition the Asiatic breeds should bo preferred. Those best / suited nro the Partridge Cochin-Chinas , and the Light Brahmas.v The excellence of thcbo varieties , consibts in their quietude , and also they nro shorter on the leg than arc Other Asiatic fowls. I f the poultry range bo larger , then the Dorkings and the game fowls are un doubtedly buporjor to all other breeds ; but thcbd essentially British families do not love clo o quarters and droop and pine in confinement. For table clucks , lotb early and late , the Roen and the Alesbury'are sufiicient. Both are fond of home , lay early , and readily acquire weight. The great essential of neat ness has dibappcfarcd from the poultry Dusincbs. Now. York and other largo cities of the union derive their supply of both live nnd drcbsed poultry fro'm distant points ; no proper care is taken to place the shipments on sale in good order , the living part of the contribu tions arrive bcrioubly depleted by death , the dressed carcases are in such a berry plight as to be revolting to look upon. The neighborhood of New York sup plies a very small portion of what the metropolis'needs. With some enter prise on the part of women this trade could bo revolutionized , and New York city bo abundantly supplied from a ra dius of 100 miles. Most of the live poultry now sold in New York is taken by Long Island and Now Jersey feeders at wholesale prices and afterwards a pleasing profit is realized. Now , why docs not Long Island produce as well as compete ? Bucaubo of the indolence of her people. A small capital is only needed to commence. Twelve pullets and a cockered , two ducks nnd a drake will start a poultry business that , with sound judgment , will compass a largo Income. None need hesitate to to raise eggs and poultry , for the Now York markets. Several millions of ocrgs are annually brought into the country from Canada and Kuropo , which the homo product should 1)0 able profitably to displace. For several weeks of every year New York state contributes no eggs to the public demand. The olTcrings at the bamo time from Now Jersey are very small. Last February New Yorkers ate eggs from Virginia , North Carolina and Tennebsee. Potato Improvement. B. F. Jolinson says in the New York Tribune : "Tho Late Rose potato grown in the neighborhood of Pombina and Vincent in Upper Dakota , near the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude , are remarkable for size , beauty of form and color , and more remarkable still for high quality. When grown in mid dle latitudes in Illinois nnd Iowa , the title ' 'rose , " so far as inside or out&ido color is concerned , is a misnomer , the skin bning a dull red and the llcsh In- bide bhowing occasionally a reddish tint. The Dakota Late Rose is smooth , round and largo , the color , if not rose , is very near it , while the ilosh inside is marked and cinbclishcd with a blush robe as delicate as it is beautiful. If the Dakota Late Rose has a fault it Is being so charged with starch that the outside falls oil and goes to pieces befor the Inside is done. I should like to know how the climate and soil of the valley of the Red River of the north atloct the Early Rose. The Early Rose has degenerated in Illinois bo ns to become inform and si/oof tu ber like the Ladytingor ol forty years ago , though it fatill retains its good quality for the table nnd measurably its early habit. It is generally thought that the Irish potato , like other plants propagated from cuttings and from becd , gradually deteriorates and dies out in the course of a whole or a half of a life time , And such appears to have been the fate of the popular varieties of the last twenty-five years , the Peach- blow for late and the Early nnd Late Ro o for early. But it seems the fcoil and cllmato of Dakota have a certain power for regeneration in the case of the Irifah potato , and it may bo good policy to obtain beod there , and also to send out our old favorites there to bo cultivated and cared for to they may obtain a now loa&oof life. " Growing Ueclb lor Stock. F. 1) . Pierce , in writing In the Ohio Farmer on the cultivation of beets for block , sayb : "Unless tjio ground is very rich , it should bo well covered with manure in the fall , and plowed as deep as po-isiblo , covered again in the winter with manu.ro , nnd aa boon in the spring as it will work nicely plowed again and harrowed down lino. Then thrpw it into ridgcu about two feet apart , drill the seed three Inches apart j In the ridges , au.d whoa the beets are two or trco inches high thin out to UtcuU inches apart. Should there bo ny spot wlioro the seed failed to grow , t can bo filled by transplanting. This honld bo avoided as much as possible , s these transplanted do not do nearly .swell. In thinning and weeding out rent cnro should bo taken not to OUCh the rOOl9 yitli the hoe , as the cut vlll grow with thd root. I think the Golden Tankard yellow fleshed mangel .ho very best variety 1 have tried. The main requisites for n good crop nro to have the ground rich , with plenty of good mould , and attention when small , s when you once got them to growlntr ilcely tlio trouble Is comparatively vor. I think anyone who raises a crop , nd sees the results of feeding it to cat- lo will feel well repaid for his trouble. Past nnd Pokey. Chicago Journal : Throe young girls an away from the industrial school for rirls at South Evaneton recently , bo- iauso they thought that reformatory nil educational institution "too slow ml pokey" to suit their Ideas. This nly shows that when these girls wore icnt to the South Evnnston institution , iO mistake A\as made. Young girls who on't like "slow and pokey" ways and , icoplo are In a bad way. Their pro pensities are "fast and pokey , " and they iced to bo restrained and reformed. At he same llmo it is in order to inquire low it comes that refractory girls where ro consigned to the South Evanston ro- ormatory are , as wo learn , sometimes .rented inhumanly. It should bo the luty of somebody to look into our re- > orinator.v institutions occasionally , and : p that they are conducted on Christian i nciplcs. For sale cheap.
