He has been asked by the governor what actlon should bo taken in view of the court's decision. Mr. Prout, It s said, has been unable to fnd any law or any authority under which the governor may make the appointmente.

Superintendant Fowler has beem asked by schaol teacher on the Island of Guam to sond as a Nebraska donation any school books or supplies that may be used In tho nchools of that island. The request Is from H. H. Hiatt, formerly of Broken Bow, who oays: ince taking charge of the school work here 1 find many needs, which are not readily supplied. All our supplies are fur- nished by the insular treasury. So we have to use strict economy. Now to the point, Can you, out of your abundance, send us the needed things, free, as a Nebraska dapation? Second-hand material is all that we can expect.” Mr. Fowler has directed the following reply: “Regarding a donation of free text-books from Nebraska teachers, 1 fear the express, freight, etc., would ¢ost more than the books unless tranking priviloges be secured. Mr. J. F. Winters, agent for the American Book company, in the office yesterday and his attention was called to your letter. He thought perhaps his company might have some second-hand books, charts, etc., which would be of rervice to you.

FORGOTTEN BARTLEY HISTORY Governor's Defense of Pardon Dis- nected in Light of P Polities. NEBRASKA CITY, Jan. 13.—To the Editor of The Bee: Oun all public questions The Bee has been the watchman of the day. In 1894 Mr. Rosewater had detected the boodle practices of State Treasurer Bartley. He wanted someone to compete for the place, and had some conference with the writer. 1 went to Omaha and taw Mr. Rosewater. It was thought most too late to start an aggressive fight against Bartley's renomi- nation, but it was agreed that If the feeling was strong enough I should come out as a candidate. When the convention met at Omaha and the ofl room at the Millard was inspected by myself I had no more idea of contesting for the place than I had to go to the state priton, so complete was he organized for the renomination, and no money was spared to accomplish it, hence he went in without opposition. The same convention nominated Tom Majors for governor, and Mr. Rose- water resigned on the spot the membership of tha national committs The Bee was not favorable to either Majors or Bartley. The Bee was successtul in defeating Majors, but the state money was too powerful and Bartley was in at the helm distributing the boodle. The attempt to show how the state was benefited by its treasurer during the hard times 18 too filmsy and falls short of con- sideration. Was the treasurer elocted to see that private and stato banks were kept from ruin, as the governor tries to make out in his defense of his action. or was it his sworn duty to guard the state against loss or the possibility of loss? Bank Wrecker Mosher was only accountable for his crime to the bank directors and depos- itors and not to the whole state, and was therefore a less criminal against the sta and no comparison to the defaulter Bart- ley. The clearing house in New York, in the memorable panic, was not using state funds and is no comparison to Bartley' The sufferings of the ex: te trea: urer in jall and the penitentiary were not 80 terrible. He was given a sinecure in the penitentiary and had better times and better treatment than tens of thousands at Iberty. When the governor let Bartley out on pa- role he intimated that disclosures would be made as to the location of part of the money stolen and that the state would possibly re- cover a respectable sum. The disclosure never came, and the governor's defense of the commutement.never says a word about this important matter. When the state con- vention adopted a resolution for the {mme- diate return of Bartley to the penitentlary the governor obeyed the mandate of the convention and sent him back. Has the power of the executive been greater than that of the representatives of the republican party of the state? There is something mysterious in the action of Governor Sav- age. In 1896 I seconded the nomination of Judge Baker as chairman of the republican £tate convention, and in explanation of my action I sald I did it for the reason that he was not afraid to punish the rascals.

PEFSONAL EXPERIMENTING IS URGED Delegates Recomme vestigation by Farme to Triumphs of Fruit in the State, Individual In. and Attest Itare LINCOLN, Jan. 14. — (Special.) — The annual meeting of the Nebraska State Hor- tleultural society convened at Nebraska Hall of the State university at 2 o'clock this afternoon. George A. Marshall, the president, called the meeting to order, All the officers and most of the members were present. Ex-Governor R. W. Furnas, Hon. J. Sterling Morton, J. R. Buchanan, general passenger agent of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourl Valley raflroad, L. A. Goodman, for many years secretary of the Missour| State Horticultural soclety, were also present. The display of fruit was in advance of expectations. The exhibits made by L. A. Goodman of Missourl of thirty-one va- rieties brought up to compare with the products of Nebraska attracted marked attentlon. From Nebraska perhaps the largest num- bers of varietles were shown by G. A. Slorlain, Salem; Marshall Bros., Arlington; W. G. Swan, Tecumseh; Mr. Dunlap. Dwight; J. G. Neff, Lancaster county: P. A. Murphy, Exeter brought samples of his crop of about 1,000 bushels from ten acres of twelve to fourteen year-old orchard. H. P. Karnes had a fine exhibit of fruit grown at Falls City. The large size and brillfant coloring of the fruit made the display very attractive. The meeting opened with an address of welcome from Chancellor, Andrews. In response the president thanked the university for the accommodations furnished the society and gave a report of the yoar's work, President Reviews the Yea In the early portion of the season the drouth threatened and damaged small fruit, Later In the season timely rains developed better crops of fruit in certain classes than was expected. The strawberries gave yleld of 75 per cent; cherries 60 per cent, currants 60 per cent, gooseberries 75 per cent, grapes 90 per cent, American plums 90 per cent, European plums 100 per cent, the quality of the very best. The apple crop is estimated at 50 per cent, the quality falrly good. Apricots 80 per cent, with a full crop of 100 per cent of peaches of excellent quality, and apparently every tree old enough fruiting abundantly. He be- leved the prospects at this time was good for a fruit crop in 1902, He urged that we should not content our- selves with the support of our public ex- periment stations, but each and every plan- ter should make of his own orchard an experiment station, and closely watch the discovery of varletles and record and pre- serve experlences galned by all who are Interested in horticultural work, and sald that the soclety should send a delegate to each of the horticultural meetings in ad- jolning states, and suggested that other frult districts should do llkewlse. He sald a revision of the premium list should be made and presented the question of per- manent quarters for the secretary's office with such increased ry as would enable him to employ a clerk. Explaine Object of Horticulture, The object of horticulture in the Farm- ern institute was presented by L. D, Still- son. This gentleman is one of the regular lecturers of the farmers' institute. He recommended crisp, short talks, with vivid Illustrations. He reported that the in- stitutes were belng more widely attended than over before, and with an Increasing degree of interest. Following this discussion Chancellor An- drews urged the value of consulting hor- tlcultural experts, like the members of the soclety. That {ntending planters should, by attending inetitutes, and careful study of the reports and the daily reading of hor- ticultural literature, learn enough about the work to be competent to start right and to secure better success. C. 8. Harrison of York read a paper on “The Missions of Beauty." George A. Slayton of Salem gave an In- teresting address on “The Planting of For- est Trees on the Farm." . Why Fewer Trees Are Planted. He suggested one reason why fewer trees are now planted in groves and windbreaks on the farm was the change of many farms to nonresident ownership. The owner, whether a retired farmer moved to town or a capltalist, owning large tracts did not plant trees and the renter could mot be expected to plant and care for groves and shade trees. Mr. Slayton gave a list of most successful varietles and urged the planting of the largest groves as wind- 8 to tho south and west of the or- chard and around feed lots and stock yards. Mr. Slayton has planted freely of ca Ipa, walnut, ash and elm. Timber for Commercial Parpone In the dlscussion Prof, R. A. Emerson suggested that timber planted for com- merclal purposes should be closely planted to grow smooth trunks. Secretary Barnard stated they had just completed the erec- tion of one mile of telephone Jine. The poles were European larch, twenty-five years old, grown on thelr farm; top diam- eter of poles five inches and height twenty teet. J. L. Coppoc of Holt county gave an in- teresting description of the cotditions sur- rounding fruit growing in northern Ne- bras} After recounting experiences of carly years he gave illustrations of the declded success in growing fruit of excel- lent quality in Holt and Rock counties, Grows Fruit on Irrigated Land, Among other growers he named Captain Greely, a cripple, who in 1901 sold $2,000 In fruit’ and vegetables, mostly frutt, from fifteen acres of irrigated land, He sald that north of the river fs the clevated tablelands, with clay soll; south, sandy rell, with plenty and often an excess of soll moisture. He visited a grove of evergreens in west- ern Hall county, where Banksian pines had made average growths for nine years pine. Other evergreens secured a foot- hold. . In discussing the value of sandy land, Mr: Coppoc mentioned that the Ilargest crop of corn (265 bushels per acre) ever grown was in loose sandy land In South Carolina. Mr. Coppoc planted 500 apple trees and secured & vigorous growth, He advised to use stable litter freely as a mulch In the fall of the year, but not close to the trunk.

Goodman, he subject of commercial orcharding was presented by Harvey Marshall of Ma: shall Bros., Arlington. These gentlemen have large commercial orchards and plan- tations of small fruits, and prefer the ele- vated land on the northeast slope better than southeast, with windbreaks In the south and wect.

Pinkham’s Standing Invitation. In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience in treating woman’s diseases is greater than that of any living physician—male or female. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides a man does not understand—simply because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full jwell that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician. The following invitation is freely offered ; accept it in the same spirit. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very know- ledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will,and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer.
