Barrows and Jobn Lancaster company the legitimate part, and the Bison City quartet the musical end. There 'ls not a common- place act in the program. The Barrows-Lancaster company offers an amusing little sketch, ‘A Thorough- bred.”” It is redolent with horse talk and sparkles like the comedy gem it Is, with bright humor. Mr. Barrows and Mr. Lan- caster are remembered for their capiial work in this line at the Orpheum last sea- son, and to say that they are decidedly clever comedians would only be to reiter- ate what is well understocd by all regular patrons of this theater, who do not forget the good things and clever people from year to vear. s Techow's cats are cer'zinly wondergully well-trained animals. 1t !s surprising to see some of the feats these felines perform, in which they exhibit almost human intelli- gence. There are several well-trained dozs used in the act, which is one sure to please the children and cause thelr elders to marvel. The Blson City quartet mixes music and comedy in a way that makes It “pleasant to take.” The organization Is compcsed of Cook, Girard, Pike and Humphrey, all of whom have excellent volces. Amlel, the contortionist, is a wonder. One might easily imagine that he was without a bone to look at the many shapes In and out of which he can twist and turn, in his body. The Macagnos offer an acrobatic act, the novelty of which would make it inter- esting even If it possessed no other merit. The two men perform their feats, which are many and varled, in ordinary citizen clothes. Allce Lewis, a dainty little child artist of rare ability, and the kinedrome, complete the bill Miaco's Trocadcro. The Rose Hill English Folly company opened the week at Miaco's Trocodero wit o highly amusing skit entitled “All at Ses Numerous specialties wero introduced, con- sisting of solos, concerted numbers, comedy and a medley of musical gems. The bur- lesque feattre is espécially strong and the company as a whole is one of the best that has held the boards of the Trocodero V. B.

FEATURE ESPECIALLY WINS THE CHILDRE! Common Schools Observe the Oceasion and Citizens Awake 1o the Value of Foreatry Work—lowa's Native Trees. DES MOINES, April I1.—Next Friday, April 26, is Arbor day and Bird day in the schools of lowa. It is not a day set apart by legal enactment for this purpose, but custom has decreed that such a day shall be observed in the public schools of the state. The superintendent of public instruction has fixed the day and it is probable the governor will issue a procla. | mation or aunouncement, the better to call attention to the date. By combining & Bird day with Arbor day it is possible to secure greater interest among the children of the public schools. Bird lovers are numerous, especially among the children who attend the rural tchools. The birds are disappearing from Towa. The decrease in number of many of the species that were once common is no- ticeable since th: coming of the quarrel- some sparrows. ‘The small songbirds have been driven out, but there are yet birds in great variety to be found in the wooded flelds mlong every lowa stream. Arbor and Bird day, so the reports show, is pretty generally observed [u the common schools, The pamphlet printed by the educational department for use on all special days in the schools contains abundance of material for good programs on this day. In some parts of the state, especially the older counties, where the school grounds are already abundautly supplied with trees, the planting is done by the farmers on their own land and it Is the custom to gather at the rural schoolhouse in the afternoon and listen to songs and recita- tions. The Arbor day idea has bheen advanced and encouraged by lowa educators, hor- ticulturists and philantbropists for many years. Efforts have been made to secure legislation providing for the teaching of horticulture and forestry in the schools of the stete. This has been much discussed in tkhe meetings of the State Horticultural soclety. Some years ago the society se- cured the publication of a little book on “Nature Studles” for use in the lowa schools, relating chiefly to trees and plants. This was published at the State Institution for the Feeble Minded at Glen- wood on the presses of that Institution. The edition was far too small to meet the demand. An effort has been made to se. In the state some finformation along the same line and to a great extent ihis has succeeded. More recently there has been a revival of interest in horticulture and | forestry as related to parking in the cities. {In a number of cities the park movement 18 making substantial progress. Plans have been made for parking the grounds of the new insane hospital at Cherokec and for tree-planting that will be an object lesson to that part of the state. (erent In Foreatry. The first organized effort to arouse in- terest In forestry and tree-planting in lowa was through the Horticultural society, which was early organized, and about the same time the Patrons of Husbandry or- ganized granges all over the state and helped the movement along. At ome time nearly every county in lowa had a grange. The grangers were all-powerful In bus!- ness and politics. The entire ritual of the Patrons of Husbandry is founded on na- ture study. Tree-planting was taught and encouraged. It will surprise many to leara that there are still thirteen granges in lowa and that the order has been steadily maintained in many places and regularly holds state meetings. Among the counties where there are granges are Jones, Mills Towa, Pottawattamle, Cherokee, Jasper and Taylor. But the tree-planting days. of the grange are past in Iowa. Towa's Native Trees. lowa has a great variety of native trees Not all are sultable for transplanting. The nut-bearing trees are hard to transplant. It is almost impossible to get results from planting the oaks, hickorfes and similar trees. But the walnut Is easily grown and is popular. The first of the trees to com- mand the attention of lowa planters were the cottonwood and willow. They grew rapidly and anywhere. Then the soft ma ple bgcame popular for the same reasors, and later the box elder became the prime favorite with farmers. Now all these are unpopular. The borers kill the box elders and the cottonwoods and willows spring up everywhere and are a nuisance, The greatest objection to the black walnut is that it Is a gross feeder and requires very rich ground. The butternut or white wal- nut is much better and makes a prettier tree. The hackberry is justly popular, but is objectionable in citles, because its roots 11ft the ground and destroy sidewalks. The Kentucky coffee tree is becoming popular and is found wild in many pl in the state. The white elm is by far the best tree for planting, although it is not a fast wer. The catalpa was Introduced many years ago in Iowa and highly recommended not only for shade, but for .the timber. But, grown out on the prairle, it is of no use for timber, for it becomes, llke all other trees grown on the pralries, wind- shaken and straggling. The room in (he state capitol occupied by the adjutant gen- eral for an office 18 finished with catalpa wood. The room was Intended for the use of the Horticultural society and the wood was furnished by Suel [Foster, a presi- dent of the soclety for many years, from his groves of catalpa near Muscatine. But this wood was grown on rich bottom land, i Commercial Forestry. As for commercial forestry by individ- uals, there is no such thing in lowa. Sec- retary George H. Van Houten of ‘he State Department of Agriculture, who has been secretary of the State Horticultural soclety and its reporter for many ¥ is perhaps as well In- formed on this subject as any person in the state. “In all my experience,” he says, “I have never known any man to make a profit by forestry in lowa, One may go back into the old reports of the Hortl- cultural soclety of twenty-five years ago and read predictions which seem ridiculous to us now. You will find exhaustive papers there by the ablest of our horticulturists and farmers advising the planting of trees, They had it figured out that in t from that time the supply of timber would be practically gone. They figured out the profit per acre from land planted to tre: and it was dazzling. But timber is cheaper today than it was then. If you advertise a farm with timber land upon it you will not get purchasers. It you have a hedge fence you will have to take a reduced price for your land. I know of a grove planted in Taylor county to black louts before the war. Even today there are few (rees, except along the outer edge, which are fit for sawloj 1 know it has been told how Judge Whiting of Mounona county made a profit by tree planting, but I have visited bis forests and do not believe he made any- thing in that way. There is N. A. Reeves, one of the finest fruit-growers in lowa, who planted his splendid farm in northern lowa to fruit and timber many years He lived to old age and e his orchard and groves the best of care. When his arm W sold by his heirs they had to | the white people took possession. cure in the school hooks generally used |- take at least 85 an acre less because of the trees on farm. 1 know of a la APRIL 22, 1901, owner in southwest Towa who, away h;]_“ "‘HDRA“S REWARD OI'FER in the '30¢, was offered $60 an acre for his splendid timbered land, but he held on, ox pecting that it would be worth $100 an acre. He sold some years ago for $55 an acre. Benefits Later Geperations, “1 do mot like to make such a report,” continued Mr. Van Houten, “for it is con- trary to all the teachings of our socioty and tha hopes of many of us, but it Is a fact that mo man can oxpect for himselt any substantial results from tree planting, nor for his children. His grandchildren and thelrs may reap some benefit, but he will net, mor will his children. There- fore, the forestry question is not ome for individual enterprise, except as it is taken up by philanthropists, but it is a problem for the state and the nation. But tree planting for shade and ornament and in- cldental to farming is another thing. We cannot have too much of that.'' Early Scorn of Prairies. While Towa is a prairie state, more thin half of the state was well wooded when Every stream {s lined with trees. It is noticeable that the earliest settlements were in the woods, where the ploneers had to grub out the stumps to make way for the plow. The prairie land was not considered fit for anything but grazing. Now the whole state s occupied and used HYMENEAL.

IMPORTANT SUIENTIFIC DISCOVERY, nfeal Preparation that Positievly Kills the drafl Germ. A most important discovery has been made atter a year's patient laboratory work almed In a certaln direction. It is New- bro's Herpicide, a preparation that cures baldness, prevents falling bair and speedily and permanently eradicates dandruff. Theso evils are caused by a germ or parasite that burrows into the scalp, throwiug up dand- ruft, as it seeks to sap the life of the hair at the root. There's no baldness without falling or thin bair, no thin hair without dandruff, and no dandruft if the germ |s destroyed. ew bro's Herpicide is the only preparation that will do the work. “Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.” e PENSIONS FOR WESTERN VETERANS, War Survivors Remembered General Government.

Father Mullen of the Church of the Sacred Heart, High Bridge, for the return of the lost Willie McCor- mick to his parents and the arrest of his kidnapers, was withdrawn by the priest | today. Father Mullen sald be had been compelled to take this action to escape a horde of mountebanks, clairvoyants, fakirs of every sort and cranks of all degrees, who have besieged him since he posted the money “I have had no time performance of my sacred duties [ offered the reward,” said Father Mullen “I have had letters from all over the coun try and there iave awaited me daily scores of persous pretending to know something of the lost lad. 1 have withdrawn the re- ward temporarily, as 1 have work that must be attended to.

At the present date the school district 1s assured of a revenue of $80,000 from liquor licenses and this sum will go a long way toward providing suitable rovms for the rapidly increasing number of pu- pils. Last year under a $500 license ibe Aistrict received $43,500 from saloous, but this year, with the amount of the license doubled, the revenue is almost twice as much as it was under the old system. When this money is pald into the treasary on or about May 1, there will be a call for warrants from the treasurer of the district and a lot of outstanding obligationy will be taken up, There will be a surplus on account of the number of licenses and with the levy and state apportionment the district will be in good shape financially. Some months ago & member of the Board of Education complled figures showing tie recelpts avallable In 1901 The liquor li- censes were figured at seventy-five saloons at $1,000 each, making a total of $75,000, the state apportionment at $10,000 anl a tax levy of 16 mills at muking A | total of $120,000, Under existing condi- tions the salary roll for the term of 1501 and 1302, commencing with September, will be $70,000; coal will cost $5,000, repairs $5,000 and supplies $6,000, leaving not less than $25,000 for bullding purposes. The increase of $5,000 in the license fund, which was not figured at the time, will make at least $20.000 for bullding purposes, even with a 15-mill levy. This sum will, it Is stated, erect a portion of the oroposed High gehool building on the Hoctor site. In connecticn with the High school bulld- ing it may be stated that a petition Is be- Ing circulated among property owners re. questing the Board of Education to pur- chase the two lots adfoining the site on the north and thug secure an entire halt block for the High school bullding, which will wher completed be an imposing structure. Prices of the property under considera- tlon have bean secured and the matter is now In the hards of a committee of the board. In speaking of this matter last eveniug one of the members of the board said that it was sow up to the people. it the taxpayers wanted to see a first-class High school building erected, with suita- ble grounds surrounding, all that was to be done was to say so and the board would do the rest. In the absence of a definite opinion from the people the board, this nember sald, would go very slowly. With the revenue in'sight the bullding can be started and elght or ten rooms provided before the opening of the schools in the fall, providing work i commenced at once, This will relleve the congestion at the Central school and assist materially in maintaining the standard of the schools here. When the petition mentioned is pre- sented to the board it will be carefully considered and as soon after reorganization as possible will be taken up and some de- clsion reached.
