It was strictly an Invitation atTair , the guests Ii 'ing the members , their families and their personal fuends. Ucv. T .1 Mackny delivered the opening adoress In a very happy manner , and pleas antly alluded to the mysterious happeiilngsof their council hull and the unrestrained enter prise of a certain paper in publishing them in advance. Kd Coitley sang "Little Annie Kooney" and was repeatedly encored , responding spending with a couple of parodies on Harbara ! ritchle and Casablanca. A recitation by Miss Sophie ( Jpi'iier and another in .signs by Airs. D. W. MeDerintd were warmly ap plauded. ' Tlio various musical members were very much enjoyed and the participants worn greeted with rounds of xvcll deserved ap plause.

Council UlulTs luis a detective- of the genuine "Hy cops" you read about. Thib man of dark , deep mysteries is as conversant with the duties of ills new position as it Is possible to become by diligently reading authentic ac counts of the wonderful doings of "The Silent Shadow , " "Old Sleuth , ' ' "Teddy , the News boy Djtoctive , " "Nipper Ned , the Night Hawk , " "Falcoubridge , thu Sphjuv , " and his other successful predecessors True , he can not tell a crook when ho sacs one , but that is not his fault as llio crooks have not yet made any friendly advances , and his natural reserve 1ms prevented the forming of now ac quaintances. However , ho hopns to get ac quainted and will bo very grateful to such of tlio criminals as will send in their cards dc- sctibing thcniaclvcs and their favorite lines of xx'oik. Tills , of course , xvill all come later , but at piesent the "Hy collar" Is perfecting his dis guises. Although ho hns hold his new posi tion but three da.v , ho has thus far appeared in thiiteen dlfl'eiont costumes , including all stages Irom iludo to cowboy and tramp. Whetherho bought out a second hand cloth ing store or has made some urrangcnients with a pawnbroker , is a matter not yet deter mined , tint ho has secured the costumes just the same and not only that , but ho has xx-orn them. A > hange every fexv hours soon used up the list , and he had to scuro up something new. Whatever else ho may bo ho is evi dently an individual of icsourciM , as he next appealed disguised behind a closed eye. It was not violently closed by feieign foice , but XXMS simply the result of a hoiiible squint. liven under the most liivorablo circumstances tlio embryo detective's beauty is not ot the prize-winning variety , lint when topped off by that paralj/lug squint , tlio effect is indeed startling. It is supposed that the dlffeicnt disguises were iilTeeled in eider to conceal the Identity of tlio wearer , but if so it was a sad blunder , as the effect was to draw atten tion to the much disguised individual. That squint , would dtnw nails out ot an oak hoard , and it must not bo imagin'-d that it could pass unnoticed even on llioadway. In lacl , the detective has become ono of the features ol the business portion of the city , and his comings and goings are cageily watched for. Sad lo relate , the aforesaid squint was as short-lived as the clothes and with them it was bung upon a rusty null in an obscure corner of the wardiobu. It was succeeded by another "disguise , " patterned of course after the wonderful heroes ol dime novel fame. The detective bought three pints of hair dye , and when lie began his nocturnal prowls Thursday night his thod , drooping , crushed tomato mustache was I airly bristling with deep , deadly blackness. Small wonder that ho did not knoxv himself In that tierce disguise , or that he xx'as ufaid to trust him self nlono with it. No more strange was it that his chief failed to rrcognlro him and gave orders to have him locked up as a vug. There xvas no tumble , however , in rccognU- Igg him on the street , and the street gamins " " him . His "gujed" unmercifully. colored mustache is all right , but if reporls are true bo ought to do away with the squint. His stated that with both ojes open he could not see a Hock of barns , and as tlieio Is apparently good foundation for this statement It is obviously poor Judgment to purposely close one of his optics. Ho evidences superlativegiccnncss icgarding Ids work , and llio prospect of effective de tective work ut his hands Is not flattering. The fait is that many of the police appoint ments liax'o been made without icgard to the apparent Illness orunlltness of the appointee , and with n few exceptions the force now con sists of us woithlcss a lot of sticks us is often giouped together They have more the up- IHMiiinco of a lot of dummies than of a police force , and tramp up and down their beats as if atlached by an invincible eablo to an engine drum. If the cable lijippens to pull them across the truck of a vug or drunk they man age to run him In , but they have not the slightest Idea how to deal willi genulnocrooks. Stores und lestdcnccs tire btirgliui/ed under their very noses , mid belated pedestrians are lield up in the heart of the city , but the i > er- petrators simply laugh at the helpless iiggro- mtlon that masquerades under the name of the Council Ulntis police force. There are none who understand the situation better than the crooks themselves , ami they are Hocking In from till parts of the countrv. Not only this , but outside towns aio'freelv idvertislng the Hliiffs as the haven of thug's mil blacklegs , and roundly condemning the police system that allows the presence of so many professional ci-ooks hero to run out mil prey upon the citizens of neighboring cities. It Is high time thai a stop was put to his state of ulTulrs. With the iidvcnt of the lew administration great things were prom- scd , und in some respects they hax o been ful- llled. Koform and retrenchment was the nottoof the citizens , adopted in convention uul carried through the campaign. The tw ice force was lncrcat > od from twelve to eighteen men as n measure of retrenchment , mil the reform part Is to bo found In the work of the burglars , who In the post two weeks uive torn the town wide open. Just for u hiinge , perhaps U would be atlvU.iblo to up- wlnt o fexv good men to places on the force , t would certainly produce more satisfactory ' , uud tlio uxyaiweut U worth trying , DUN'S REVIEW OF THE WEEK A Season of Extraordinary Speculation in Nearly Every Branch of Trade , ADVANCES ALL ALONG THE LINE Operations Seriously Ilc- tiirdud by ( lie IIlKlil-llotir .Striken Tlio Glass Market Affected Failures.

Thorn is no way holler than to dig the tree , leaving on the rooti all tlio earth Unit will adinvi ! , and then a ) once plant ing in good soil. Out this plan is not al ways practical and often liven must be shipped long distance.- . . Any good nurseryman who lno\vs his business l roporly can pack trce.s so that I hey will no safely for hundreds of miles. When trees are recoiscd which have boon shipped long distances they should bo nt meo unpacked and tlio roots entirely covered with moist earth. Should the mrk scorn shriveled the trees should bo entirely covered .with earth until it 1m- onies freshenedi ways the Nebraska i''armer.

Much trouble arisen with the sanitary 'omlltioiiH of Bwino bocauao of the suuruucu of their owners lu rotfurd to thoh' hnblff nnd nnttiro. Tlioro is too corn In the west for the good of the hop , nnd tno much pen in the east. The skill of man can circumvent both of these evil * , says u writer in tlio Now York Tribune. I want to see tlio hog nearer tlio front in American farming. 1 want to sco him moro generally the right-hand factor , or partner , of the eastern farmer , as lie Is of the western. The benollts of swlno an aids in increas ing fertilizing material are not appreci ated. A lot of hogs kept during the season in a clover Held and fed there , nnd lilted for market , will make that Hold fertile for years. They may bo employed as plow'mon and llllers of tlio poll In eradicating quick grass , thistles , livcforover. and other weeds , and also of grubs , in the orchards they are use ful friends , in moro ways than ono. 1'lgs will make good pork when running Tn orchards where there is n good blto of grass. When hogs can have all the pas ture they will cat they will become lilted for market with very little grain. Tlio least amount of grain given to hogs run ning in clover will make pork rap idly. All kinds of vegetables , coupled with grass and a llttlo bran , will make the best of 'pork. The man who roars hogs extensively should pro vide a supply of turnips or roots of some kind for a partof the winter food. When deprived of a meal or two hogs can bo induced to cat common Hold turnips by dusting thorn with u little meal of some kind. Turnips are an excellent and cheap food , their ratio of nutrition being 1 to 0.8. The pig-grower must learn to utill/.o cheap foods , as they will make just as good meat as tlio more costly foods , like corn. Silngo can bo turned to good account in wintering grown hogs or pigs , with a rich , nitrogenous ration. Jt should bo fed with bran or middlings mixed with it , but not corn. The Mlago is a carbonaceous food , espeially so when it abounds in cars , and it needs to bo balanced with nitrogenous elements , such as arc found in rye , wheat , bran and linseed meal , llyo ground entire is an excellent food when mixed with bran. Harley is good , and superior to corn for for sows or sows giving milk. Tlio fanner must not attempt lo get his hogs to an extreme weight , but should kill thorn before I hey cost too much. The meat will sell belter , and there will bo moro margin between the price received and the cosl of produe- lion. This margin can bo made larger usually willi less weight of carcass. Iti'ooni Corn. The first broom corn grown in the United Stales is thought to have been grown by Ucnjainin Kranklin. The plant was soon widely cultivated and 1ms Kept slep with Ihe weal ward march of empire till Hie center of cultivation is now in Ihe Mississippi valley and pass ing westward to 1 ho Missouri , says llio Western Stockman and Cultivator The returns from broom corn culture are about $ -10 per aero from good crops , but may be a good deal le-s than that , The requisite's for successful cultivation are a good soil , such as will produce a good crop ol corn or sorghum , a scraper for rubbing' the seed oil , a drying shed and a baling machine. The equipment is not expensive if broom corn growing is engaged iu as a permanent branch of funning , but too expensive for experi menting' . Tlio best varieties to grow are the Tonm.s-oe , Missouri and Kansas ev ergreens , and it requires about two quarts of seed per acre. The same s.\s- tcm of plantiugaiid cultivation required for sorghum will bo suitable for broom corn as the two plants are closely related and have the same habits , and clean , careful cultivation is as ncccssar.N with ono as with the other. Hven hand hoeing1 will pax if tlio weeds once gel a start. The broom corn must bo harvested as soon as the bloom begins to fall on" llio seed , for if loft to ripen it xvill not snil for over one-third as much sis grc'ii brush brings. The brush ib "tabled" before cutting , i. c. , two rows arc broken across each oilier so as lo form a sort of table about three feet high , the cull , r- thcn pass along the rows and cut each briiih till with a knife , leaving about eight inches of stalk lo ( ho brush. ! \ good cutter w ill table and cut about on.- half acre per day. The brush is laid on flic titbles to euro , "whence it is hauled lethe the scraper , seeded and placed on UK racks in 'dry house to dry thoroughly bf- forc baling. The CO-H of growing broom corn is cs- timalod at from > 112 to } " ( ) per acre , but where the fiirmer docs his owa work and has learned to handle the crop to llu best advantage the .MO lo 10 per ac > o realized from a crop compares favoro-bi with any other fanning operations. The C"o\v About lo CaUe. We must now bc In to think about the possibilities of milk fuvci' , sas , the Turin Journal. If the cow is fat there is more danger. In such a ca-o she -hould hi fed lightly for at least two weeks hi fort calving. If her udder becomes hard , and shows Mgns of inllammation , it i best to milk her before the calf is born and also lo care for th udder. Wo have found that washing the udder with soap suds , made as strong as po- ilile , will allay inllannnatiou. The alkali in the soap has a soothing and curative died 1 tubbing soft soap on the surface is good If the cow is thin 'die must lie fed nour ishing foods , and tit the same time th < \ \ should mil be heating or tending to in- ll-immalion. Starchy foods have these tendencies and should bo iiMiidcd. Mid dlings will be sustaining and not so beat ing as corn meal , rye or barleincut. % . A bran mash fed warm Is food for the cow to be fed a few days before and after calving. The water for drink should be wai'iiicil. Wo like a porlion of Ihu cow's food to bo oil meal before and after the calf is born. This has a loosening ollcct , and assists nature in all respect- , besides bi'Ing vorv nourishing. We must learn to appreciate the value of lin-ccd meal moro as a food ami as an Important elo- mcnl in ferlill/ing the soil. . ) . ( ! . Tipton , ical estate , fi.'T Broadway. 11 u ion s.xi.i : .
