Both labels are chef-d'oeuvres of the lithographers' art, and reflect great credit upon the artistic taste of the designer, Mr. Hantnorn.

TE8TIMONY , WAS CONFLICTING The Chief Witness for the Govern ment Showed Considerable Animas on the Stand In the district court . of the United States the entire day was yesterday, con sumed in hearing the case of the United States vs. Henry Schwerlng, the charge In the Indictment being tnat Bchwer.ng has maintained a fish trap obstructive to navigation in violation of section 10 of the act of September 19, 1SW, says yes. leraay's Bun. .... The testimony In the case was very conil.cting, and at one point somewhat sensational. Oa the part of the defence the witnesses were Schwerlng'e neigh, bors", the chief witness being Mr. Wil ier, who testified that hellved-ln full view of the premises of Schwering, and yei although it was pretty well established that Bchwerlng was on or near his fish boat and trap most of the time, Miller could not be Induced to say that he had seen Schwerlng there at all. The chief witnesses for the government were the captain and officers of the steamer La Camas. Captain Dubec's testlmoy was very srong and positive, but there were two difficulties in the way. of his making a good witness for the prosecution. First, he had had a quarrel with Schwerlng, and Judge Bel linger himself was evidently inclined to regard Dubec's ill-feeling toward the ac cused as the animus of his version ot the story. The Judge even went so far as to say to the Jury that Jurors should be slow to convict where there is man! test animosity. The other obstacle In the pathway of Captain Dubec toward success as a witness was his bearing, tone and manner on the stand. He may not have intended to be insolent, but to all appearance he was so, and that to such a marked extent that Judge Bellin ger, who Is usually mild and gentle, at length said with unmistakable severity. Young man, if you don t conduct your. self properly, I'll take you In hand and deal with you. Mr. Charles J. Schnabel, -who had charge of the case for the government, made the best of a weak cause, both In his opening statement and In his clos ing speech; but he had to make an uphill fight, ami he himself had little or no hope of winning. The defence was repre sented by Judge Caples and Mr. G. W, Allen, who was yesterday admitted to practice. The whole argument of the case lasted only an hour and ten minutes, and about 4:30 the jury died out of the room to make up their verdict. Meanwhile the Jury Itself had furnished one element of a dramatic situation. One of the Jurors who sat In the front row was taken suddenly 111 while Judge Bel linger was delivering his charge. Those who were watching him saw him grow paler and paler until he was about to faint, when he was helped out through the door, and the case proceeded with eleven Jurors. Just before the judge had concluded his charge the sick Juror re turned and' Joined his fellow Jurymen In their march-to the Juryroom. After a very short deliberation the unl. versally expected verdict of not guilty was brought In. RULES FOR SETTLEii.S. Oregon City Land Office Has Received Instructions. Oregon City, ' June 3.

Almost everybody now agrees that level culture produces the largest and best crops of potatoes. But it is Impossible to have level culture unless the seed po tatoes are planted deep enough for the tubers to form under the soli. The con stant tendency of the tubers Is to rise as they grow. This, if the seed has been planted only one or two inches deep, makes it necessary to draw dirt around the hill, making a mound which sheds the waer on either side. This also cuts the potato roots In the middle of the row. It requires dry and rich ground to make successful deep planting and level cul ture potable. But soil without stagnant water near the surface is always neces sary for the potato crop. If the subsoil is filled with water through winter and spring it is Impossible to grow good po tato crops on such land the following season by any method. Dr. Price' Cream Biking Powder World's Fair Kightat A war i. THE GRAVE OF BLAINE. (Mlnat Halstead.) The Blaine house was a place of un happy traditions and memories b:fore Blaine was attached to It, and In his time It was a social and political centre second to none the scene of pleasant re ceptions and charming hospitality the home of a lovng family, serene though there were storms abroad. The old bouse admirably appointed was unique, am. pie. Who shall ever forget the glow ing firesides, the mellow lamps, the glittering, generouc table, the gracious company, the gentle daughters, the de voted wife; the white . head, so rever enced, that was the centre of the circle the dark and glowing eyes whose steady and yet ' flashing brilliance denied the story of the pale cheek to the last? The walls were luminous with engravings, ex quisite in art and rich In history. There were tomptlng books on the tables th simple beautiful testimony on all sid e of refinement, enlightenment and hu man interest of the presence of -a heart mat wab full of charity, the brain of a statesman, the hand that was worthy the sword of chivalry and that wrote magnanimous history. The attraction was confessed even by enmity, and anl moBlty resented the fascination it could not deny, anil assailed the magnetic quality that was the expression of a masterful genius of leadership. Justify ing an ambition for whose failure there ds compensation in the public affection that place and power could not win, that calumny could not abate, nor mis fortune cloud or the grave obscure. I drove out on Sunday Easter to Oak Hill cemetery, thinking of a talk with Blaine in his carriage on the road. It was wonderful to see how far advancea the season Is on, the Potomac, how the young leaves were glistening, how vivid and velvety the gross was, all spottea with dandelions, shining like golden but. tons. In the trees of the cemetery, an, Irregular tract of steep, wooded hills and terraces, there flashed white and reo blossoms, masses and sprays of bloom. There Is a multitude of tombs, many ol them elegant and old, and walks that ore smooth but steep. It Is rare, lndied, that there is a more benign and lovely resting place of the dead. The grave of Blaine Is ji,ft(W paces from a sharp descent to a deep, narrow valley, the fortiher side of which ehows the red soli so characteristic of Mary. land and Virginia, and the outVok is ap propriately the, northeast. The most caneplcuous object on the Blaine lot. which is level and green and fenceless, Is the memorial cross erected fc. Col. Copplnger to his wife, the eldest daugh. ter of the Bla,Ines. Next her grave Is that of Walker Blaine, whose great abll ity would have had more conspicuous recognition If his father s distinction, had been less remarkable. Then comes a hickory tree a foot In diameter with the. hickory tree a foot in diameter with e broken top. It was marred, I should think, by a tempest possibly by a stroke of lightening and upon a rounded foot- stone, six Inches above the turf, a stone white as newly fallen snow, are the In. ltlals that all men knew, that million shouted the Initial letters that the fam. ous name that was a battle cry that rang across the sontlnent with a passion none oter inspire the (jleMers that, rlslrrr from the snowy marbre, seem yet strangely endowed1 with life, ihave a, Keen signmcance in tneir severe sim pllclty, "J. G. B." On the thre grives were strewn radlent lilies of Bermuda, and touching the low footstone, their sprays shading the initials carved in en during snow, were, exquisite ferns. On the opposing slope of the valley- almost a ravine to the north, were dog woods, from whose boughs a pearly radlence seemed Just to have burst and to linger. On the hither side were droop Ing cherry trees, along whose slender limbs, trailing like weeping willows, wer lines of delicate red flowers. On the side, under the dogwoods, the sun shone bright and warm on a marvelous steep bank ot violets, thousands ot blue eyes, and the hum of the honey bees swarming there was low and drowsy, but distinct like the murmur of waters. The 'buis of the hickory tree that marks the grave were just opening, the bursting pods showing their pale puple and dull gold In the sunlight. Mrs. Blaine had been there, and with the fair lilies and the ferns ot maiden's hair had beautified on Easter mornnlg the graves of her hu&'oand and children In one of the rare but profound pas sages of pathos In the writings of Hor ace Greely, he relates that he, when Henry Clay was defeated for the presl diney for the last time, took up ana drank a cup of water, saying: "Here it to thee, Harry of the West!" Why that came into my mind as I moved away from the grave of Blaine one greater and brighter ar.l mors maligned1 ana cheated andw ronged Uhan Clay walkin; through the sunny air under the young leaves, listening to the bees in the violets, on the day of all days of Im mortality, I shall not try to tell, for there are a few who know, and for those who do not, I do not care.

At nearer Inspection he found three enemies de vouring the aphis the lady bug, a kind of a fly and a longer Insect, supposed to be the praying mantis. He stopped spraying at once. A day or two later he found the aphis cleaned off and the trees In perfect condition. The Insects that are man's friend may be known by the place they feed. When they are found about a curled leaf they are doing good, and it is safe to discontinue spraying. Hills boro Independent. $10,000 TO LOAN !
