Not content with nanerinor the In
side of the trolley cars with advertise
ments, tbe enterprising advertiser now
charters a car complete, and covers the
outside with posters and streamers il
lustrating any particular class of goods.
They carry no passengers, but a band
of music serves the purpose of attract
ing particular attention to the car and
its advertising legends. This practice
bas been popular in Philadelphia for
some time. .
In England tomato plants have been
grafted on potato plants, giving a crop
of tomatoes above ground and potatoes
below. Potatoes grafted on tomatoes
have produced flowers, tomatoes and a
few tubers. An experiment In this
direction waa made during the past
season in Wisconsin. Two tubers were
planted in separate pots in March, and
when about 5 inches high the plant
waa cut off half an inch from the level
ot tbe soil and a graft of a tomato In
troduced. The result was that the
potato, nourished by the tomato plant
above ground, produced a crop of po
tatoes in tbe pot, and also the tomato
plant above ground produced a fairly
good crop of tomatoes, nourished by
the potato roots in tbe pot.
The Surety Company and ita Spotters.
The following la taken from (he Ash
land Tldlngsi "The dismissal of Con
ductors W. H. Jamieson and Jack
Andrews from the service of the
S. P. Co. has been considerably
discussed in railroad cl roles the' past
week. The Kansas City surety com
pany, which furnishes bonds for all
tbe S. P. conductors, is said to be the
cause of the trouble, with which the
railroad company Itself is not interest
ed. The surety company' is an arbi
trary cold-blooded association, and one
of its 'spotters' checked up Jamleson's
train and reported two fares trom
Eoeeburg and one from Phoenix to
Ashland short. The surety company
Withdrew from bis bond and of course
the railroad company could not retain
according to, its rules a conductor who
coUjld no.t furnish bonds, although
Jamlssons numerous friends maintain
that if he were given a hearing he
could easily vindicate himself. Con
ductor Andrews was desirous of retir
ing from railroading, anyway, and the
loss of his position will, not Inconven
