Bracket secretary of tho Kansas State Horticultural society. was read before the Lyon County Horticultural society, in regard the Russian Apricot, in order to satisfy all that tho fruit is not Ctir-culio proof, as claimed by the agents selling the tree in this state: "I spent yesterday investigating the- Russian apricots at the Rnssian set tlement northwest of Peabody. I found the fruit scabby and wormy, mnch to my regret, as I bad hopei that we had a substitute in them for our apricot, plum, and to a certain; extent, peach.

Don't permit any vender to delude you into the belief that they are etirenlio proof. I found trees heavily laden with fruit of which, fully three-fourths were infested with the larva. I think the tree is hardy, and some years the-fruit is finer, but in my opinion tho-Rnssian apricot is doomed to tle- 6truction, and will be enrolled a worthless a fruit as the plum, in a very few years more. The Russians- told me that they were not wormy in Russia, and that only a few were- attacked last year, but most all wero- wormy this year. I need add noth- ng more.

This is as 1 feared it would be. I could perceive no qual ities in this frnit that I conld think would exempt it from curculio attacks. A prisoner in the Nevada peniten- tiarj- the other day rebelled against being discharged when he had serve! out his term. He reasoned that in three months more he would per fectly master the trade of boot and shoe making, and sorrowfully added- that if he bad known a trade he- never would have committed the crime which landed him in penitentiary. It strikes ns that the fore-go ing presents a the mo which father and teachers and editors should cob? sider deeply.

The man committed a crime because he had not been ed ucated in anyway to make him independent. That is all there i abont it. It required more monev to arrest, convict antf send him tt prison than it would have required; to have taught him a useful trade- The story illustrates anew the fact that too little money is- spent in starting the young in the right pathr. which necessitate the spending of much money to punish those ho go-astray.

W. B. Strong, president of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad company, has been in this city since Tuesday, on business that means much for Kansas. His stay among us ha been quiet, but few outside of the railroad circles knowing he was here. There have been important conferences, and enough has come to light to indicate an era of railroad building, that has not been witnessed for years.

It is known that the Gould system has been making overtures to the people of several counties in what is known as the Santa Fe territory. The present movements are aimed to protect this company, and to do so there will be a laying of steel rails, with or without bonds being sold, that will ndd many brW dred miles to tho system. Among the roads mtemplated is the branch running from Independence southwest, passing through Montgomery into Chautauqua, and thence west along the south tier. There will also be a cut off from the Southern Kansas, to intercept the Missouri Pacific from Leroy. This road will be a continuation of the Burlington branch, passing through Yates Center and Fredonia to Independence, thus making a direct river connection.

Another line has been definitely determined, the extension of the Kingman branch through Pratt and Edwards on this projected line. The engineers will begin work in less than ten days. Also west from Kiowa along the outhern border, which last line will ultimately reach Trinidad, but will at present go only to the west line of the state. Tho Santa Fe has obtained control of the Topeka, Salina Western. which has been hanging fire so.lon' under Patterson's control, with only seventeen miles built.

That gentle man has sold out all his interest and the Santa Fe, being the hitherto un known purchasers, will it for ward to completion, connecting Council Grove with Topeka and ex tending on from the present end to Salina, and possibly further. This considered an important line! By far the most important road con templated, and which will be pro bative of the greatest results, is the line decided upon starting at or near Garden City, and going in astram-ht CJ line to Denver. A glance at the map will show how this road will revolutionize Colorado bnsiness and thus give the Santa Fe almost dicta tonal powers. A branch is contem plated from this new line to Color ado Springs. These lines, extensions and cut-offs have been under discus sion since Tuesday, and Mr.

Strong coming here with the determination to build and occupy the territory mentioned, indicates that the agree ment not to invade other territory is off. Backed by the Santa Fe power, and under the active management of Mr. S.rong, this new departure, caused by the neglect of less terri tory a year ago, shows the coming struggle. All the lines alluded to have been practically determined upon so near as can be ascertained, and engineers will at once be placed the field. The Lawrence Brewery Csl.

Lawrence, 12. Some days since County Attorney French commenced suit in the court against John Walruff ct for oper ating the brewery in violation of the prohibitory law, and asked for temporary injunction. While the case was pending the defendant's attorneys filed a motion to have the case removed to the federal courts. Tho case was decided adversely by Judge Benson to-day on the ground that the case involved a question of conflict between the state law and the federal constitution, lie also- issued the order for the temporary injunction as asked for in the peti tion. Mr.

Walrnffs attorney wiUr it is understood, bring the case be fore the United States court in Octo ber. If it is held that it cannot be removed there, the case will bo tried in the district court.
