The Horticulturists, Dis Morses, la., Jan, 90.—(Speeial to Tie Be.|—The horticulturists of Towa oceupicd a large part of the past week in this city with their annual meeting. The attendance was quite large, representing the leading nurs men and fruit of the state Horticultural society is doing an exc very smull capital. It has never been favored with large appropri- ations by the state as the Agricultural so clety was, and there is no chance for making money opencd o the members and directors, as there is in the state fair for the agricul- turists. Nevertheless the fruit growers come together every iwinter and discuss matters of mutual interest and provide places for improving their methods of fruit raising and increasing the productivencss of their orchards. At the recent mecting there was a great contrast between the style of papers and discussions, and those preseuted at the meetings of the Iarmers’ alliance the week befor The fruit growers read short papers on practical subjects, that wer brief, concise and right to_the pomt. They wausted no time on sentiment or literary adornment, but their papers were practi discussions by practical men who seemed to know what they were king ubonut. But in the meeting of the farmers' ailianees the pupers and speeches were nearly all so lengthy s to be todious, und many of them branchied off entirely away from practical agriculture into the domuin of politics and speeulation, with many side issues constantly rowers work for lowa on a diverting attention, 'or that reason thosce who attended both meetings concluded that the horticulturists made theirs much the more practical and useful. Before adjourn- ing the latter arranged for stimulating work at the twenty expe al stations in the state, aud moving t ach experimentist should be given some remuncration for his work, and be requested to prepare cach year a puper giving the result of his experiments to the ussociation, They arranged also for publishing a bulletin each year on practical topics considered by the society, and decided that 5,000 copies of it be sent out to the far- mers of the state. The society also appro- priated from its funds the sum of $200 1o be given Lo the state farmers institutes to help m their work. A Pontoon Bridge Company. s Morses, [a., Jan, 20.—[Spacial to Tue The business men of Lyons have de- iize a pontoon bridge company o ross the Mississippi at that There has beeun some difference of opinion as to whether a poutoon or a high bridge should be built. But the great difference m the expense bias given the accision in favor of tho pontoon. The river at Lyons is narrower than at any place below Dubuque, being but 1,000 feet wide. Colonel Stewart, who built the pontoon bridge at Ne- braska City, says one can be built at Lyons for §3,000. This amount has boen pledged and steps will be taken at once to socure per- mission from congress for the building of the bridge.

Before cold weather came on the jail stood ewpty for months, The Elkader authorities have decided to put the tramps to work on the streets aud other public im- provements, and-the tramp business in con- sequence has received a sudden check. An Avoca Fire. Avooa, Ta., Jan, 20.—(Special Telegram to Tug Bze.|—The two story wooden building owned by T. O. Meredith, of Marne, Iu., and occupied by Wilson & Clark, dealers in dressed poultry, burned to the ground at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Two hundred dollars worth of poultry were burned. The origin of the fire is unknown, LR The Packing House Rates. Des Moixes, ., Jan. 20.—[Special to Tur Beg. |--The railroads of Iowa are just now making a splendid fight for Iowa pork pack- ers and indirectly Iowa farmers against the Chicago packers and Chicago interests that want the whole earth to be tributury to Chi- cago. They wade a rate for pork products to Chicago that is avout 20 per cent less than the ratcon hogs. This enables the pork packing business to flourish in lowa cities and towns along the Missouri river, muking 8 very perceptablo decrease in the number of hogs shipped to Chicago. The lowa rail- road commissioners are standing by the vail- roads in their fight and will appear in their interest before the inter-state commerce com- mission when this matter comes before it. The commissioners, in order to secure proper information to aid them in the case, have sent out a circular to all the packers of the state, asking the following questions Please furnish this board with the follow- fog information: First. The capacity of your packing house for slaughtering hogs or cattle por day. Second. The nuwber cut during 1888. Third. The number of hogs or oattle brought to your house by trains during thoe year, Iourth, The number delivered by wagons or otherwise than by trains. Fifth, The average rate per hundred on hogs brought 1’ by trains. Sixth. The average rate per hundred on your product to Chicago, 180 to St. Louis and New York, Seventh. The amount in pounds of your product that is usually or can be carried in a thirty-four- car; also the amount of hogs and cattle sepa- rately i pounds that can be carried alive in same sized car, Eighth. Are there any other packing houses in your city orcounty ¢ If s0, Pplease give them copy of these questions and ask them 1o send suswer to this oftice, The commissioners propose to show that 8 low rate should be furnished for tne packed prodret rather than for the live hog. Commissioner Day says that he thinks 20 per cent fairly represcuts the difference in rate which should be given. As there is less risk in shipping the packed product, and more space can be utilized there'in the case of the live hogs. The lowa farmers who can tind & market near home for their hogs | @re better pleasod with this arrangement than with the old one, when overything had | to be shipped to Chicago, and they will stand by the lowa railroads and packers in Weir fight for lowa interests. —_— It Rivals the Calf Case. Dss Moixks, Ia., Jan, 20.—|Special to Tae | Buk.]—The famous Jones county calf cuse that has attracted so much attention for its long protracted and expensive litigation, is ikely to have a rival in Henry county. In ! the latter case, the question is over the pur chase of a few quarts of cream. The sole issue is whether it was sold to the defendant 88 an individual, or to him as the agent of & creamery which has since become insolvent. The amount involved was loss than $10. but defendant refused to pay it, and was sued i a justice court some twenty miles from the county seat. Lawyers went from there 0 try the case, aud when decided against the defendant it was appealed to the district court at Mount Pleasant. The hearing of the appeal began A fow days ago, with half a dozen lawyers in the suit. Over fifty wit nesses were sworn, whose average mileage was about twenty miles, so that the cost for witness foes alone, for the first day's attend ance was 8100, The judgment was again against the defendant, and for the sum of &3, but it carries with it court costs approximat ing #100. This does not include attorneys’ fees, which will amount to about half as much more. Whether the case will be ap. pealed to the suprome court or not, is not known, but it has alroady grown to very ex pensive proportions. The Railroad Con Drs Morses, Ta,, Jan, 20.—[S) Beg.|—~The railroad among the busiest men in Towa, During the present year they considered formally 17 complaints, and gave opinions in 156 of these cases, In seven of so complaints the hearing alone took more than week, In addition to this work the board has spent a great deal of timo in studying and planning new schedules of rates, or hearing argu ments why the old ones should or should not bo changed. Many complaints are referred 10 the commissioners that properly belong to fssioners, al to T enmmissioners the inter-state commerce commission. A case of this kind has recently came fron Fort Muadison. A chair company ther cluims that the rate on chairs from ort Madison to Muscatine is 50 cents per h dfed pounds, but from St. Louis to Mus tine it s only 20 cents, giving a discrimi tion 1 vor of St Louis. This case will be transferred to Judge Cooley’s commission. The Sioux City & Norther Storx Ciry, Ta., Jai |Special to T Bek]—The transuction has just been closed whereby the bonds of the Sioux City & Northern raileoad company are placed. L. C.Twombley,vice president of a Philadelphia trust company, hus been here two weeks in- vestigating the matter, and he has signed stipulations whereby £16,000 of first mort- gage 6 per cent thivty-year bonds per mile are sold.

A Brewer's Heavy Fine. ATLANTI G, In, Jan, 20.—[Special to Tir B |—The December torm of the district court adjourned yesterday, Judge Thornell presiding. William Buchanan, who was tried us one of the murderers of Lawrcne Dolan, was acquitted.

At the latter place, the advices to the state board of health say that it is on tho in- crease. One of the hotel kecpers was re- cently taken down with the disease, and overybody in his hotel at the time was quar- antined there. Wherever the state board of health has had its regulations promptly car- ried out there has been littie trouble with small pox. Mason City Court Matters.

Harsha gave a most inter- esting address to a large congregation last night at the First Presbyterian chureh. The subject chosen was *T'he House of Clement,? The speaker, who has very recontly ad- dressed his flock on ‘“Phe” House of St. Paul,” spoke of Clement as _ the associate and helper of St. Paul, as one of the young men at_that timo, who perhaps more than any other, asserted a paramount influence over the destines of the carly church. The preacher then described the hife of Clement, and his connection and associutions with the philosophers at that enrly page of the churchs’ bistory. Advice to Mothors.

Crreago, Jan. 20.—What was apparently a deliberate test by the anarchists of this city o how far they could go under Judge s decision, confirming their right of free assemblage, was made this afternoon The West Twelfth stract Turner hail was packed with people. A stato socialist named Garside was the first speaker, but ho was, as usual, quite mild in b utter ances, Paul sttkau, the wellknown anarchist editor, formerly of Milwaukee, followed him, He began by complimenting Garside on his eloquent spooch, and then a satled the peace policy with extraordinary vehemence. A handfal of men, declured Grottkau, could not hope to secure froedom by peacoable meaus. The oppressors would 1ot give up their privileges without fighting for them, ivery stop,” said he, “that has been mado in advance lius been paid for in blood and has loft the pathway ve hind wn with corpses.

Tremenduous cheers accompanied by the stamping of feet and clapping of s which lasted several minutes, grceted this peroration, and Grottlan resumed his seat with a_very congratulatory expression.

Another Use For Steam, The steam disinfection experiments le on Ividay last at Jacksonville, Fla., have proved perfoctly successfult The active germs transplanted by Dr. Gibier into @ gelatine-filled glass tube have germinated, and their work of disc tion of the substance is ble, proving their life and n plainly vi activity. According to the Jucksonville Times- Union the microbes which were taken from the handkerchiefs after they had been subjected to the steam disinfec- tion and planted in gelatinein the same manner of the unsteamed germ had been treated, and in the same material, have proved entively inert, though sub- jected to the steaming prceess for only ten minutes, and under very imperfect conditions. Lven the live germs which were pianted ina similarly prepared tube, which was lightly corked with cotton and subjected to the steam for a like time, have proved to be utterly dead. Thus it has been proven once again that the steaming process is thoroughly eflicacious, as being sure de- struction not only to microbes in gen- cral, but the yellow fever microbes as woll. The people, therefore, both north- ern and southern, may feel porfectly satisfied that all articles subjected to this process will thus be thoroughly disinfected. e Sent His Own Death Message. “Mrs. John_ Silk, Milwaukee, Wis.: John Silk died here to-night.” This was the copy of a dispateh Lauded the ope- rator at Normal, 11i., the other night. “When did the ‘death occur?” in- quired the operator. “It is going to occur in afew minutes, andIam John Silk myself,” said the fellow. The operator was somewhat puzzled at the actions of his patron, and before he could comprehend the situation, Sillc continued: **And here is some money, all I have in the world, anda gold ring my wife gave me.” THrowing down a few other trinkets, he said “zood-by,” and shot out of the door. A minuto later tho operator looked outand beheld the man lying flat on his back in the snow, with his arms crossed over his breast and his eyes closed as if dying. An officer was called and Silk was lodged in jail, He gave distinet evidences of suffering with de- lirium tremens., He insisted that death would soon_rclieve him of his agony and at bo'clock the next morning sure onough he expired. He had strangled himself with a silk handkerchiof, which he had tied tightly around his neck. Silk lived at No. 702 Center street, Milwaulkee. . How a Dog Met a Lgcomotive. Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer: A large :k dog of the mongrel order, which was ufilicted with a lume leg, limped over the railroad bridge at a_hop-skip- and-a-jump gait about 8:30 o’clock ves- torday afternoon. It attemoted to eross the track at the Sterling street eross- ing just as the 3:30 express going cast camé thundeving on. The dog had almost-crossed the track before it no- ticed the approaching train, when, like a frightened person placed in the same position, it attempted to turn bacl, although it could have cleared the raiks in time to avoid the train had it pro- cecded on its way. The train struck the dog and threw it a few feet ahead. Beforc the dog could get up and make off the cow-catcher struck it again and threw it a few feet more in advance. The dog was propelled in this manner for about 150 feet, when the cow-catcher threw it clear off the track. The dog turped several somersaults from the force of the last blow, but finally arose and limped up Crescent avenue at the same gait he had assumed previous to the adventure, The dog appeared to be uninjured, aithough if it had been valuable dog it probably would have been killed, - A Lucrative Business, Chieago Herald: The smuggling of Chinese mmen and women from British Ameriea into United States territory is a very lucrative business at various points along the border from Vancouver to Winnmipeg, 1f the venture fails at one place it is renewed at another, and sooner or later the pilgrims get in. A new trick, just discovered at Whatcom, W. has almost tuken away the breath of the federal oficials, for they know that it must have been very siccessful for a time. The large number of squaws coming into the country from British Columbia finully attracted the attention of an official, and he took a party of them to jail. On close inspection it was found that the creatures were not squaws at all, but able-bodied China- wen, who had painted and otherwise disguised themsclyes so as to resemble the typical Iudian squaw of the fronticr. In one instance two young and rather comely Chinese women came across in the garb of American women, but closely veiled. An ungallant official lifted their veils and found them out. These girls were billed through to San Francisco, and were worth ta their owner about $2,000 apicce.

Tho latest in the spirit of the boom is the purchase of land by the Missouri Pacific railroad on the north side of town, extending from their line towards a point at the Missouri river. The rumors in conncction with this move are as varied as numerous, That the purchase has been made is cortain. 1t is said the road wants it to build car shops, while others, who pretend to know, say it is wanted for a right-of-way to the river at a pomt a il above the city, and that another dge would ~ be built within the next year. A gentloman who has been e aine at road in somo legal work says the Missouri Pacific would most certamly cross the river at this place to connect with the Wabash at Shonaadoah, lowa, but whetlier the recent purchase of land had anything to do with i, he could not say.

Hastixas, Neb., Jan. 20.—[Special to Tur Ber.]—In a recent Rocky Mountain Nows it 18 positively stated that the Northwestern railroad will, in early spring, build from Hastings to Denver, and that Stockville, Frontier county, and Hayes Centre, Hayes county, will be in its route. Can this good news be true? For some time past the abov hus been rumored and caused great sati faction 1 the counties above mentioned The writer of this is a resident of west Hayes couuty, and here asserts, in all sin- cerity, that ti e is not a better agricultural county in the great and growing state of Ncbraska, 1ts soil cannot be surpassed in depth and richness, producing excellent wheat, corn, oats, ry ane and veg- ctables of ‘all rlicularly potatoes, onions, beans, peas, In 1587, while other portions of the state suffered from drouth, Hayes county had abundant and timely ' rains; the crop was excellent, only limited by the area under cultivation. But it was a new county. In 18558 the a under cultivation was doubled, yes trebled, and ugain the crop was llent, in many in stances corn going fifty, sixty, and even seventy bushels to the re’on sccond year ground! Now that it scems to be an assured fact that tho splendidly equipped and excently managed Northwestern will run srom cast to west through Hayes county, the farmers wiil go to work with renewcd cnergy, and the voice of the “grasshopper’’ and stirring plows will be heard in the lund, 50 10 speak. e True, there are’ some bad canons in this country, but these, like adversity, have their uses, they produce good hay, and provide a natuval shelter, There arc also a scries of fine valleys--not valleys, properly speakinis, but deprossions, smooth, every foot tillable, gently sloping, exceedingly rich and fertile, Thero is such a onc commencing in town 5, range 34 west, running in a northwesterly dircetion for forty miles rd Grant, Perking county. This depression is fronl fivo_ to seven mile with soil five and six feet deep, and nust prove exceed ingly productive. The proposed route would intersect this valloy about erght miles west of , the County seut. The southwestern part of the county has a finostream running through it for many —~the far-tamed Stinking Water. Yo what a misnomer! This strcam is fed wholly from springs, its water clear as crys- tal, pure and healthful, The myriad-minded Shakespearc: (s Coleridge termed him), said, e thou chasto ns ice, puro as saow, thou shalt not escape calummy. So tis with the classic, limpid Stinking Water, This odorous name was given with a purnose Iy selfish. Cattle kings longed to re n thiis rich valley for grazing purposcs, so concluded to give that opprobious title solely to frighten the homestender, and keep him away. ‘The scheme worked for a wiile, and the homesteader kept away in disgust and fear.
