The street car company's snow plow was called into requisition yesterday for the lirst tlmo this season. It was run over the lines on the paved streets during the afternoon to remove the accumulated slush. The snow fall was not heavy enough to require the use of the electric motor company's hugo plow purchased last winter , the old ono propelled by horse power being sufllclcnt for all that was needed. It is predicted , however , by local weather prophets that the bin plow will bo needed moro than once tno coming winter , although it was not run over the line at all last year. A "tariff reform" nicotine of the untorn- fled was held last evening In Peterson's hall , on Upper Broadway , nt which the purposes and principles of true democracy were ex plained and laid bare for the inspection nnd consideration of the uninitiated , without money nnd without price , by Hon. W. H. M. Pnsey , D. A. Farroll. G , W. Boultou nnd other local leaders of the party.

Police Looking For Jewelry ThlcYM Closing Up the Aueiiot ' 1'eriu of District Court Tlio Police Ball. A Unllroncl Ankinc FOP nn Injunction. Judge Aylcsworth , In the superior court , was engaged yesterday In hearing n Inw case that has some features of Interest to the pub- He. It Is a suit by the Milwaukee railroad company to restrain Contractor C. R. Mitch ell fruin that portion of his grading contract calling for the filling to grade of Seventh street from Twelfth to Sixteenth avenues , the points where the Milwaukee railroad main line and switches cross the street. Several years ago the city ordered the street graded and the fill ing was done up to Twelfth nvenuo by It C. Berger , the contractor , to whom the work was awarded. Ho was stopped by n temporary injunction sued out by the rail road company , whoso attorneys sot up the plea that the work was unnecessary and the time of year at which it was being done was unseasonable- mill put the company to a great deal of aunoynnconnd inconvenience. The work was stopped and Berger never completed his contract. Subsequently ho nmdo an assignment of Ills contract to Mitchell , who commenced to complete the work. To prevent him the company's attorneys brought out thu old injunction and nskctt that it be inatlo permanent upon about the same grounds. The matter is of eapculal interest to tnn public lor the reason that the company further sots ap the bro.id claim that it has absolute Jurisdiction over the 100- foot right of way , and "no order from the city will entitle a contractor to co upon It and do nny work.

The Omcg raoo rase was the grist upon which the mills of the district court wcro grinding yesterday , nnd It was uot com pleted when court adjourned last evening. The evidence was all submitted , and the case was partly nrgued. The ease will bo concluded and submitted to the Jury this morning. The case has been a most disgust- iuc one , much of the testimony being unfit for publication , but as is usual , in such cases , it kept the spectators' chairs well filled dur ing the entire progress of the trial. The prosecuting witness , a fifteen-year- old girl , was recalled yesteiday , in rebuttal , and tcstiilcd that nothing of an actually com pleted act of criminal intimacy had ever occurred between hrr and the defendant , young Omeg , although the boy testified that their criminal intimacy dated back to over a year prior to the tlmo of the alleged cotnmis slonoftho crime for which ho Is indicted. There has been some very remarkable swearing In this case , and the jury will un doubtedly have n week's work on their hands to sift but the truth. Judge Macy will close up the business of the term to-day , leaving but little tlmo to Intervene untUtbo opening of the November term , next Tuesday. Although the opening of next term is set for the 5th inst , , thcro will bo no business transacted until Wednes day , when Judge Carson will uresido over the last term of thu year in this county. .

Last evening was the occasion of the po licemen's annual bull , and a more unpropi- tlous one , so far as the weather was con cerned , could not well bo imagined. The streets were covered to the depth of several inches with the mud and slush incident upon several days of rainy weather and yesterday morning's fall of snow , and during the even ing , ns during the greater portion of the day , a steady but exceedingly monotonous and dlKugrccablo drizzle rendered the aspect out of doors anything but inviting , and undoubt edly kept at homo hundreds who would otherwise : have attended the ball. Notwithstanding the fact that there wcro less than a hundred couples on the iloor , the affair was u very successful ono , particularly In n financial way. Nearly four hundred tickets wcro sold , which will leave the boys a handsome sum after all expenses uro paid , to bo devoted to the purchase of regulation uniform overcoats for the cntiro forco. The net proceeds will bo more than sufllcient to 'lurnish every Jmcmbor of the police and marshal's forces witn a fine outer garment , a fact over which the citizens generally may well rejoice , as it will hereafter bo 'posblblo ' to distinguish the night patrolmen from the hack drivers or others who are similarly bundled up to withstand the wintry blasts. It is stated that the sale of tickets this year far exceeded that of a year ngo , there being a very liberal response when the citizens were requested to pat ron izo the ball. Dalboy's orchestra furnished music for the occasion. The committees were as follows : Invitation , Chief Lucas , Oflicors Mullen , Kemp and Hetidricks. Reception , Mayor Ilohrcr , Chief Lucas , Marshal Guanolla , Ofllcers Austin , Doyle , Beswlck and Fowler. Floor managers , Marshall Guauella , ofllccrs Martin , Thomas , Cusick and Josclyu.

Several members of the Omaha force were present and participated in the festlviti03and n largo delegation from the other sldo 01 the river would huvo boon present under moro fuvorabto circumstances.

The notice in the Now York Times of the of Karl Mnrr'a coming great pic ture , "The Flagellants , " has recalled to me an episode in my visit to the Azores last 'year which may interest your renders , says a communication to the New York Times. Flagellation , that "astounding phe nomenon of the Christianity of the mid dle ages , " was at that time found to ho practiced in the inland of St. Michael , though it was long ago forbidden and was apparently abandoned. However , an English journalist , who was writing an the subject of the islands for a magazine * and a young American who w.as with him in his ex peditions to till of the out-of-tho-wny places , heard rumors that the practice was still continued , and they made ti most persevering search lor the place where it was dono. After being sent from ono village to another they linully unearthed it at Fonacs d'Ajuda , a very retired spot among the high mounsains at the northeast end of the ismnd. There they found a small chapel , of which the Iloor and the walls to a height of six feet were spattered with blood , some of it still quito fresh , as the lost llagollation had been done only a shorttimo before. They succeeded with much difficulty in obtaining the instruments of torture , as they may well bo called. Ono , the usorgo , or scourge , is a cord with twelve rawhide ends , each about six inches long and a quarter of an inch in diameter , the number twelve represen ting the number of the apostles. The ilagellunt uses this till largo welts are raised and the flesh made very tender. The llagolla is then used till the blood Hews freely and the person is exhausted. That is a round ball of wax about two inch s in diumotcr , around the middle of which are three rows of glass spikes stuck in the wax , very sharp and nearly an inch in length. The ono which i saw was covered with blood. Painful as this is , there is always some ono to take the place of the person wlio goes out. At the time of which I speak there were eighteen waiting for the honor. It is considered a great privi lege to bo allowed to do it , ns the ignor ant and superstitions people regard it as an act of great pietj' , but as it is so frowned upon by the authorities the priests are obliged to allow it surrepti tiously. On the return of the two gentlemen to the city of Ponta , Dolgnda the asorgo and flngolla were shown at the club and caused great excitement. The daily papers ( which are a necessity to Azor- oans ) took up the affair with great .vc- homcnco and indignation. In the prin cipal one was a long article headed "Savages , " from which I take a few sentences. "Tho spectacle of which Bomo Englishmen saw the conclusion on > the occasion of the procession nt Fonnos is so edifying and conclusive that that alone would justly give us the epithet of s.avagoB. This affair was viewed by Englishmen , who bought sotno of the scourges , which will certainly figure in the museums of London with the in scription , 'Scourges with which the savages of the island of St. Michael martyrize themselves on the occasion of religious processions. ' Then wo re main sulky with the English for a month nnd n half , but the authorities continue to permit thcso publio specta cles and the reverend gentlemen pro mote thorn. The interior of their coffers is the perverted reason of the spectacle. " Such remarks nrouaed the authorities to so great a degree that the civil gov ernor assured the public that It should bo stopped atoncorand appealed to the bishop of the Islands ut Torcoira for as sistance in doing so. In the muantimo the people at Fonnos hoard what was being done and their indignation was intense against the intruding foreign ers. It was said that it would Imvo boon unsafe for nn English speaking person to appear there. All this was in the spring of 1888 , and I do not know whether anything has been done about it since , but I fancy that it still goes on , The enlightened men of the city still talk ugulnst it , and the civil authorities also talk , but do nothing in ore , while the priests eccrotly encourage what increases their power over the ignorant people.

TREE PLANTING ON THE PRAIRIES flow to Trcnta'flnrflO "With the Itcnvcs 1'ropnrliiK Bees for tlin Winter Calves' ' . Baiting Butter. In salting butter , It should always bo berne In mind that salt has no afllnity for fat. Fat rondilv absorbs odors , hut It docs not absorb salt. So salb absorbs odors , and should therefore bo kept en tirely away from thoin. It Is soon spoiled for dairy use bocanso It is nolso Icopt. But It does not penetrate fats. It readily unites with .tho water In the butler and becomes brlno , and the brlno. though oil and wntor will not mix , adheres to the butter granules In line drops , nnd fills the interstices , but never penetrates the solid , compact fat. The tryor always shows the brlno In small drops , llko dew , says an exchange. It Is not evenly spread over the polished stcol because ot the fat adhering to it. Washing nnd salting butter whllo It remains in small granules is the commonsense - mon-sonso way ot doing it. It the butter is "pntliorod" before salting it is hardly possible to salt as evenly , by any amount ot working , as it easily can bo it the salt is applied when the butter is la a gran ular condition. It the salt is all right , nnd at once dissolves Us it should , the but lor can bo inimodiatoly pressed into a solid was.4 and prepared for market. This packing butter directly from the churn is becoming n common practice. Tlio writer was recently cordially thanked by an old maker ot fancy butter tor for having told her that by the gran ular process there is no need ot a second working , and she could at once pack her butter for market. A trial had fully satisfied her. It saves work , avoids in juring the grain of the butter , and lessons ox DOS uro to the air and consequent quent loss of llavor. ICnrly Potatoes for Winter Use. This year's experience increases my faith in early varieties of potatoes planted carlv for the main crop , says a writer in the Now England Farmer. A great many persons believe that po tatoes for winter use must bo a Into va riety , or grown late In the season , and that early varieties dug early cannot bo safely put in the collar. No greater mistake could bo made , and yet when potatoes are harvested early a little care is required that/ they may bo handled with care and put in the collar in a cool condition. A load of bruised potatoes tumbled into a big bin or tight barrels when with a hot July sun may start fer mentation , heat Anfl decay before they have had a chance to cool off. I once lost several barrelp of early dug pota toes by such treatment. But ripe pota toes dug as early as the middle of Julv and put in the cellar attor being dried and cooled will keep dormant ( through the winter and bo equally good for the table us if dug a month or two later. I have re tained the seed of'several latish varie ties , because of sq'mo good quality in oa'ch , but with this year's experience I nm ready to lot them go and depend on but a single ynrititVj and that variety will bo Polaris. I would like a second later variety except for the risk of rot and the trouble of a longer fight with the booties. Of the potatoes dug July 8 scarcely any were diseased , and they have kept sound and are the most satis factory of any I shall have of this sea son's product. Of sotno of the later plantings not enough sound tubers were dug to equal the seed planted. Tree riuntiiiir mi the Prairies. Tn his report on forestry submitted to the Minnesota Horticultural socioty.Mr. C. L. Smith said : "Now. my idea is that in planting a tree plantation on the prairie the first necessity is a snow break , or protection of white willows , which I believe is the best or cheapest of anything that wo can got. They should bo planted especially to the north and west. I would rather put it clear around for a timber plantation , out certainly to the north and west , at least two rows of willows ; the rows to bo four fcot apart , and about a foot in the row. Then leave a space beyond that which should not be planted to tim ber nt least four rods wide , where the snow will gather and not break down the young trees. Again , in the mutter of mixing of timber. I do not believe that we can grow walnuts and evergreens as successfully as single specimens as wo can when wo mix them with other trees. If I wcro to start a timber plantation to-day on the prairie , I would start with my willows on the outside , cottonwoods , maples , then wal nuts , starting nt tlio sumo time a nursery of small evergreens and then transplanting after the third year and inixincr in the evergreens with the out side trees The best plantations I have scon throughout the northwest wore planted in that way. Pall Onro of Slirubi. It is a mistake to lot shrubs go with out attention during the summer and growing season , says the Lady's Homo Journal. Then it is that they should bo brought into good shape , for , by watching thorn us growth is made , ono can see where pruning and training is required , and the necessary work can bo done at just the time when it will do most good , for shrubs nro moro tracta ble while forming branches than they are afterward. If you allow a shrub to grow to suit itso\f \ 'jill summer , and at tempt to rectify .what you consider its mistake in the fall , you will find that a great deal of Upsummer growth may have to bo removed to secure anything like symmetrical shape , and of course thcso surplus branches indicate a good deal of growth wMch lias been wajtcd. So much of the 'vitality of the plant as was taken to produce them had boon expended uselessly1 , proper attention at the proper time would have thrown this energy into'thp shrub. But wo must take things as wo find thornnnd fall fin.d.s most shrubs in need of a judicious pruning , If wo would have them take on a shapely form. There fore , when gottjrig roauy to give thorn the winter protection , whioli most of thorn require to a greater or lessor ex tent , give them a good piuning and make them symmetrical. It Is well to do this before the coming of cold weather , so that the fresh cuts on the limbs will have a little chance to healer or at least dry ever before they are laid down and covered. Homes With II < ayes , A horse with a bad case of heave is of little value for business. But a diet largely ot oats aid | bran , wetted to the consistency of thick mush , with half the quantity ot bright hay sprinkled with water , usually fed to a sound horse , and but little water given at a tlmo for drink , will , in nine cases out of ton , lit the animal for daily labor , unless it bo a few exceptional days of close , muggy weather. The stable at all times is the best place for a horse with heaves , as thu groom has control of the quua- tity and quality of food , which Is not the case when the nnimal ia in pasture. If the liny bo Hglitly throshoil nnd well shaken to rid it of dust , it will bo far bettor not only for the animal nflhctod but for nil liorscw. In eomo cases straw may bo substituted for hay , but it is absurd to assort that straw is bolter than hay for horses generally. I once used n huavy horse for heavy service , hauling on the rend and the farm , that carelessly used would have boon worthless , says a writer In the Ne braska Farmer. Great care was taken in the preparation and quality of food , nnd Instead ot stinting in drink it was given in natural allowance , but nevermore moro than four or llvo quarts nfft tlmo. Only ono or two days during the sum * mar did ho show signs of distress , and but an hour or two a day nt that. Thou sands ot useless horses could render good service if well cared for. Some give a horse the utmost cnro during the day , giving but little drink , and after the day's work , during the summer sea son , turn the horse into a Hold with ac cess to n brook. In tlio morning his foot nro wldo apart and stomach distended - tended a pitiable object , worthless for the day , a result duo moro to careless ness than dlscnso. Preparing Been Kor tlio Winter. Successful wintering of bees douonds largely on preparations mndo before cold weather sots insuch ns uniting col onies , feeding , etc. , says tlio American Agriculturist. Unseated comb during the winter is not healthful food. What ever variety of food is given thorn , the moisture that arises from the bees dur ing cold weather enters the unsealed stores , and produces disease. It Is far bettor to look to this important matter during the honey season , and prepare frames of sealed honey to supply all col onies that need feed. But , in our greed for a heavy crop , wo are apt to" lese sight of this , and when feeding time comes , wo buy sugar , nt high yricos , to supply thcso wants. The fact has boon demonstrated time and again , that it is cheaper to depend upon the honey source nlono than to use sugar at any tlmo. Besides , wo are greatly injured by the popular idea that wo feed sugar for the production of surplus honey. Rut , though It is cheaper and bolter to depend upon the natural honey source alone , yet , if wo have colonies without honey enough to carry them through the winter , and no surplus honey at hand to give them , wo must feed them sugar or lese them. Uniting boos , and supplying all colonies witli good fertile queens , is of primary im portance. As wo have the advantage of movable frame hives , wo should thor oughly arrange the brood-nest In every colony so that the brood shall occupy the center of the hive or combs. If a frame of brood is carelessly sot on one side , the bees occupy the other side and tlio brood separates. After properly arranging the hive and providing a good queen , wo nro ready to food. The food will bo stored around the cluster of bees. Frames of comb tilled with pollen near the cluster of bees uro considered injurious to bees during winter. This has been our experience , and wo take particular pains to cither remove such frames from the hive or place them out side of.lho brood-nest. 13oes should not cluster on frames filled with pollen dur ing winter. They use too much pollen as food , and it has n tendency to pro duce dysentery. Blnck liOK- The season is now at hand when blackleg log may bo expected among calves , and especially those that have been weaned and put on high feed , says the Iowa Homestead. It will bo most likely to occur on bottom lands where the grass has boon eaten closely and has made n a very luxuriant growth after the recent rains. It will como on the animals sud denly , atondoncy to sluggishness to-day , lanienobs in ono of the legs tomorrow , and death tomorrow night. Examina tion will show the blood in the affected leg to bo very thick and black. There is but little hope for successful treat ment. Whenever ono is affectedchange the rest to a higher pasture and slow up on grain food. Give the calves plenty of oxerslso , and an ounce of hypo-sul- phito of soda eaih week in thrco doses , ono dose every other day. Burn the bodies of tlic dead calves at once , with out skinning , nnd by no means allow any of the blood to touch a sore or a plueo on the hand where the skin is broken. Farmers are not aware of the danger they incur by handling calves that have died of blackleg , neither are they aware that the practice of burying them , or , worse still , allowing them to become food for dogswolves , and crows , is almost guaranteeing an outbreak in future. Blackleg is not contagious , that is , ono calf cannot take it from another , but the soil can bo contaminated ; and oven if the animals are buried , earth worms will bring the contamination to the surface. There is need of careful handling of this disease , OLD TIME RELIGION. Quaint Scenes in a Vermont Church Sixty Yours Ac . As soon as the text was given out , Deacon Batchollorvlio was old and very deaf , rose from his pew , walked heavily down the aisle , and half as cended the pulpit steps. Then ho ad justed an enormous tin oar-trumpet , and sat there through the long sermon , a pious and attentive , but most gro tesque , figure. The singers' seats stretched entirely across the church in front of the pulpit two long rows , with a rack or desk for hyrnn books be tween them. The men singers sat with their backs to the pul pit , while the women' faced them. When the lender struck his tuning-fork and gave the key , all stood up and lit erally bawled and sang in each others' faces. All the old mournful minor tunes were great favorites , and the rhymed stories of hell tire , damnation , and lost souls gave the greatest satis faction to both singers and parson , says the Congregational Review. Questions of doctrine wcro Elder Whitoinch's greatest joy and most frequent discus sion , and several times a year ho preached on the "unpardonable sin , " but wo must remember that ho had none of the sins of great cities to form subjects of sermons to preach against not even that of intemperance , for the simple reason that it was then consid ered n sin in no ono to drink strong liquors , grovldcd a man stopped short of-grosa intoxication. Habitual drink- era were all these Now Eng land farmers. In nearly every household in the winter months little pewter flagon or tankard tilled with boiling water ( and with straw- covered handle to prevent burning the hand ) was brought in to the farmer nt 8 o'clock , the regular bedtime. Then a great pitcher of rum toddy or elder flip was brewed , andovoryonomen , women nnd children , drank of it , and thus wont warmed to their ico-cold cham bers , where the snow sifted into little drifts on the floor. No farm hand would work nt plowing and haying without three glasses of rum u day. Even the low worl.wjmon who took tlioir rounds among these farms a tailoress , wool weaver , an In dian "squawnurse" all demanded , received and drank their daily glass of rum. Bears were not Infrequent vistors in Ver mont in those days , and many a boar's tracks and depredations were reported at the Sunday "nooning , " and the hunt PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY.

The flro could bo Ill- fought with only the bucket from the old well-sweep and milk palls to carry water in. So the flames spread , and high winds blow them across the road to the old wooden church , and all were destroyed together , and only a collar wall and a low half-burned bricks mark the spot where so many dull but happy Sundays woio spent. PRINCES AND CIRCUS-RIDERS. An KitUodo In Which n Iiovo-SIok llntzt'olilt IMnys n I'nrt , Prlnco TIatzfoldt had a nart to play In a romantic episode , says n Berlin lot- tor. The lliroo Loissat sisters were till circus-riders , but they were all thrco strictly virtuous , well brought up. graceful , clever and pretty. The old est slstor married a Ivronuli gentlemnn and retired from the circus ring and two'of the most aristocratic and highly born ( one indeed , being of quasi-royal birth ) patricians oC Germany full in love with the two younger sUtors Prlnco Ilonry , of Kouss , and this very Ilntz- foldt. When old Kaiser Wilholm heard ofthese , projected misalliances ho was very angry. Von Kouss , openly ignor ing the expressed commands of his sov- crlgn , married the second .Mile. Lois- sot , sacrificing by so doing his princely rank and title , and taking up his resi dence in Belgium with his wife HB sim ple Count and Countess of Hcichcnfcls. But Non Rouss felt acutely the change in his social position , and , although the Countess of Koichcnfols was the most devoted of wives , the prince destroyed himself a few years ago. The youngest of these thrco circus- riding sisters , Mile. Emllio Loissct , was also by far the prettiest , the most grace ful and the most sought after. Prince Ilutzfoldt laid his heart and coronet in the srwdust at the fcot of the fair ccuyoro and she promised to become his wife. But Mllo. Loissut , while trying a dangerous horse in the arena of the winter circus , in Paris , one afternoon , was severely crushed bv the animal falling on nor. Tliron days later she succumbed to her terrible injuries. Hatzfoldt swore ho would never marry ; and , buying the horse which had caused all this mischief , he , in a very silly and melodramatic fashion , destroyed the poor brute which had crushed to death his allianced bride.
