PORTLAND , Ore. , March 20 , ( Special. )
The capabilities of Oregon In the way of
producing fiber plants bid fair to bo thor
oughly tested , and there oin bo but little
doubt au to tlio outcome In most cases. The
women storied the movomeut by Introducing
the cultivation of flax for fiber , end have
practically proven that tbo belt of flax fiber
can be rucci'sifully grown hero and that
a sale can bo found for all the ( lax pro
duced. Next , the Oregon Hallway and Navi
gation company has undertaken to test the
o/Japtablllty of a number of plants to the
cell und cllmato ot Oregon , among them
cotton , which ranks as king among fiber
plants. Now Samuel M , Mears , manager of
the Portland Cordage company , who Is nat-
umlly Interested In the production of fiber
plants In this state , aided und abetted by
Charles R. Ladd , who on general principles
la Interested tn anything which will pro
mote the growth and prosperity of this
Rtale , has decided to make a thorough , prac
tical test of three other fiber plants , viz. ,
lit nip. obutllon and hamlc.
They have bad this matter under conslil.
oiutlon for omo time , have fully Inyus
tlgatcd It and have engaged tlio services ot
a thoroughly competent man , who lias had
largo experience In Kuropo and In this
country In the cultivation of fiber plants
And the preparation of fiber , to attend to
tln > distribution of seed , and to give all nee
esrury Information In regard to the soil ,
methods of cultivation , preparing and han-l-
llng the fiber , etc. The plants they have
selected to experiment with are those they
believe best adapted to this climate , and
such as produce a fiber which will be of
most value and will find ei ready market In
many places. The fiber of all of them will
bo found remunerative to producers as a
commercial product and should their culti
vation prove as successful as Is expected
manufactories for utilizing them will In the
near future bo established In this state ,
THE NEW PLANTS.
Thirty ncrca of hemp will bo sown this sea-1
son , part of It on farms belonging to Mr.
Ladd. The remainder of the sued will he
distributed among enterprising anil energetic
farmers , who nil ) give the necessary care
and attention to thu crop. They have also
a quantity of ramie and abutllen seed , which
will be distributed among such as arc likely
to eecuro the best results.
The principal textile fibers In iuc are wool
nnd silk , of animal | reduction , and cotton ,
flax and hemp of vegetable origin. There
art ; , however , plants yielding fibers which
are or may become Important , about a dozen
of ulilch are Indigenous to North America ,
but concerning which but little Id known by
the general public.
Abutllon , or American jute. Is ono of the
incut Important of these. It Is an annual
growing to the height of about nix feet , Its
fiber mining the whole length ot the bark ,
and being far superior to Indian jute In
strength omd dyeing qualities. It Is used for
fine cordage , carpet filling , matting , etc.
Hemp , which has been cultivated In many
countries from early ages , has of late years
become a valuable agricultural product of a
number of states , especially Kentucky. It
Is aldo cultivated to some extent In Wiscon
sin , and chiefly for Its seed ; In several other
northern states the seed being used for food
for cage birds and for making oil. The
principal commercial product of hemp Is the
liber of the Inner bark , which Is used to
make * cordage. The plant Is an annual ,
growing from four to twelve feet In height.
A rich alluvial sot ) , not too dry , Is bc.U
adapted to Its cultivation. Cultivated for'
fiber , It Is but moderately exhaustive , and
grows with such strength as to keep down
weeds , so that It may bo grown for many
seasons on the same land. In the Willamette
valley It may possibly sevve to kill out wild
oats. It U generally cut , Instead of being
pulled , like flax , and Its after treatment Is
very similar to that of flax , the stalks being
retted , broken and scutched.
The ramie , or China grass , la a native of
the orient , and of growing value as a fiber
plant. The stalks grow to the height of four
to flvo feet , and yield a fiber as fine end
glossy , and almost as tensile as silk. It Is
well suited to the climate of this country
from Now Jersey south , and should , do well
In Oregon , It Is the mcst prolific of fiber
plants , as once rooted lu fairly sandy cell
Its shoots Increase at the rate of 100 an
nually for each eno planted. Three crops a
year may bo reckoned on , and 250 pounds
of marketable fiber per acre may be yielded
by each crop. The extraction of the fiber
has been dlfllcult , owing to the amount of
adhesive matter In which it Is embodied , at
but the value of the fiber baa led at last
to the removal of thhe difficulties.

DOISE , Idaho , March EO , ( Special. ) At the
time of the recent sliver rc-publlcau eonfer-
between ex-Senator Uubols and e
man Sweet had become much strained. Mr.
Sweet declared the political partnership waa
off. This action Is supplemented by a four-
column editorial appearing In the last
edition of his paper. In this Mr. Sweet ac
cuses Mr. tlubols of a tendency to steer the
silver republican party Into the democratic
fold , and he takes occasion to criticise the
ex-senator very sharply. He saya In part :
We thliilc It would bo better for Mr. Du-
bols If ho could stop nilvortlsln through
Clmlnnan Jones or any other source , no
matter Jiow tempting the publicity of tbe
scheme may bo. He needs no Indorsement
at tlio bands of silver republic-ails every
time they meet , or at all , bccausa they
regard him as faithful , but a little too
much Inclined to the democratic party.
His Interviews nnd assumption of the right
to practically dictate who shall be who ,
and what shall be what , have become
laughable , while the advertising part of It
makes the managers of tbe baking powder
nnd Hlp.in Tabulo schemes nshntncd of
themselves.
Ono thing more Fred must understand ,
that wliile he U giving Ills voluntary lec
tures to all sliver republicans to the ef
fect that they must not expect nor nHk
for anything , nnd that to aspire to otllco
Is unpatriotic In the present aspect ot at-
falrs , each utterance la a part of Ills own
plan to bo elected to ottlcc as the successor
of Senator Shoup. This makes these lec
tures absurd , as every voter In the state
fully understands the scheme.
The silver republicans of the north are
friendly to Sir. Uubols , and will continue
to be on the lines stated. Nothing herein
written Is Inspired either by personal dis
like or by mallpe , but comes from nn un
doubted Knowledge of the facts stated , und
Is submitted "more In sorrow than In
anser. " But this peacock business must

tnomorated Frances B. Wlllard by special
services Sunday afternoon , MUs V.'lllarJ's
picture , draped In the pure white ot the
Woman's Christian Temperance union , oc
cupied a prominent place on the pulpit , and
the meeting was under the supervision of
members ot thli organization.
Dr. Wheeler of tSouth Omaha delivered the
address. Ho contrasted the lives of Neal
Dow and Miss \Vlllard , the two famous
apcstlcs of temperance. "That sturdy old
man , " he said , "faced alone the opposition
In Maine and won the state to his cause.
J > ? o stronger
, ruggeder character ever supported -
ported a cause. Neither was there ever any
sweeter or gentler character than Miss Wll
lard. Each of these workers took up the
cause In a different way , mid made the world
listen to the voice of Christian temperance. "
The Woman's Christian Temperance union ,
said Dr. Wheeler , had Its origin around the
family altar , and It remained for Miss Wll
lard to come forward and organize these
earnest women Into an order which has made
Its Influence felt In every part of the world.
Enemies of temperance say that the cause
died with JIIss Wlllard , but it will be scan
that the ccjnn of Frances E. Wlllard has
won more people to thu caueo which was
so dear to her than any of her powerful
speeches.
The dead are not gone from us ; they arc
merely taken from our physical sight. Un
seen Influences constantly shape our lives
and the memory of their faithful leader will
spur the Woman's Christian Temperance
union on to greater efforts.
This organization Is not like secret orders I ,
which depend on mystery nnd rituals for
heir poncr. It Is made up of fearless Chris-
.Ion woman w'iio ' have no four of proclaiming
: o the world their purpose , and who have
courage to stand up for what they bollevo
to bo right In spite of the Jeers of public
opinion. These women sjy that drunken I-
ness Is wrong and must not be tolerated
under any consideration. If all Christian
) coplo were to take this stand how much
purer our politics \\ould become , nnd how >
much easier our consciences would bo.
The United States could not continue under
a condition of slavery In the south and antislavery -
slavery In the north. Garrison and Phillips
revolted against this state of affairs and
Kookci the current of popular opinion. Our
present condition U similar. Half of our
lopulatlon la drunk , and the other half
sober. We cannot continue Uils way.
Miss Wlllard faced the storm of public dls-
npprovol and began a great work for the
amelioration of this strained condition. "She
gave up her life for temperance and her de-
roted followers will nqver lot It die.

cration of everything to His eorvlce ,
Hev. Turkic also commented on the lack
of brotherly love that was distasteful to the
Master. There was no quarrel among tfio
various Christian denominations. They were
nearer together today than over before. It
w a not church union that wan wanted , but
Christian union. There was not enough kin.
ship In any of the churches.
The speaker also contended that Christians
too frequently dishonored God by their tueltl
anetioly. Though It had been truly said that
man was born to sorrow , we should be happy
to know that we are chlldmi of God. That
Ho is aware of all our burdens and oltteth
as a refiner of silver to see that no trials
come to us that we are not able to bear.

The Woodward company put up "The
Charity Ball" yesterday at the Crelghton
for a week's run. The play la wc.ll known ,
and Is generally acknowledged to be one of
the best ot modern society dramas. The
afternoon presentation went with commend
able smoothness for a first performance , and
it Is certain that the admirable pleco will
teen become ono of this company's most
worthy offerings. Mr. Fullcn as the clergy
man , Mr. Enos as tbe erring brother , Mi- .
Blake-more once more In a comedy part ,
Miss Earnest aa Ann Crugcr , Mrs. Wood
ward , who reappeared after a long absence ,
as Phyllis , Miss Montgomery , Miss Montrovjo
and Mies Carlton all distinguished them
selves. The play and the manner of Its pres
entation will bo further considered during
the week. .
The audience In the afternoon was ono of
the moat disgustingly noisy which ever at
tended a high-class performance in Omaha.
Certain boorish and unseemly disturbances ,
whlcu occurred several times during the
play , were not confined to any one part of
the bouse. It Is ehameful that eo good a
play cannot be presented In so excellent a
wanner without being disturbed by the
sound of Inopportune laughter and the
elmulatlon of kisses from the audience.
Doubtless It Is dlfllcult to locate Individual
offenders , scattered as they were on tnis
occasion , but a few arrests for such " oe-
Uavlor would go far to discourage further
exhibitions of It.
The specialties this week are of a. PM-
tlcularly high order , and Include Harcy
Edison , with a remarkable trained dog : Bert
Cooto and Julia Klngsley In on exceedingly
diverting farce , and the Nawns , who do their
familiar but always welcome turn , wnicii
la ono of the funniest things on the vaude
ville stage. Any ono ot these features In
Itself will well repay a visit to the Crelghton.
' the "Kna.
List evening at Doyd's theater
ben-Kapella. " or Hungarian Boya' Military
band , made HB first appearance in this city
and scored a decided success. The organiza
tion consists of thirty-two performers , only
two of whom look to bo over a dozen years
old. They are said to have be n trained by
their conductor , Herr Nlklas Schlltzonyl ,
and if so ho deserves great credit for tno
thoroughness of his work. It would bo un
fair to compare this band with Sousa'a or
Herbert's. Sousa has an aggregation of men
whom years of experience has made artists.
These ore but boys and must bo Judged from
that point of view. They play with great
precision and force almost too much force
indeed , especially the two youngsters who
play the bass drum and the cymbals. This
latter lad must have heard about band cus
toms In the tlmo of King Solomon. In Solo
mon's time the cymbal player was the con
ductor. If Herr Schlltzonyl will tone down
these two youthful enthusiasts he will Im
prove his music greatly. In the last number
on the regular program "Going to Klon
dike" a touch of comedy was Introduced
that was very amusing. The conductor di
rected facing the audience , and as the piece
proceeded one by one his players slipped
out until only the little tenor drummer was
left. When bo too bad disappeared of course
there was no response to the conductors
beating and ho turned about to find his band
had vanished. In response to a persistent
double encore two marches were played. As

The rendition of Dudley '

"The Story of tho.Cross , " by the cathedral
choir , draw a crowd to Trinity cathedral
last night that filled the largo auditorium
and overflowed Into the street. Before 8
o clock every Inch of standing room was
filled and the
tightly packed mass of people
extended out thirty feet from the church
door. At least
200 people
were unable to
go-
cure admittance and wont away after

would glvo

Aside from the tremendous crush that In
terfered materially with the enjoyment of
the music the
entertainment was most de
lightful. The composition has been previ
ously rendered by the same choir and last

little to bo desired. The solos were most
acceptably sung by Mrs. Cotton , Miss Bowen
and Messrs. Lumbard , Wllklns , McCune and

with exceptional success.

day wandering about the country , and the
matter was reported to tlio police by J. Jlin-

Anderson contemplated suicide.
Anderson had been an Inmntc of the poor
farm until n fc\v weeks ago , whoa ho sud
denly left , and his whereabouts have since
bcn unknown to the alllclaM of that Institu
tion. Most of the time since Anderson 1ms
lived with J. Hanson and Ills Orothor , at
Forty-ninth and heaveuworth strecti , wlioni
he know In Denmark.
Andcrsoi.'a friends say that he has been
despondent during his visit with them over
the death ot hla wife , nhlch occurred sev
eral years ago , and which partially unbal
anced his reason , Several days ago ho left

Ho was found near her grave about mid
