Strawberries Varieties to Plant. (Purdue Unlvereity Agricultural Experiment; Station, Newspaper Bulletin No. 44, Match ; ^ 11, IHC As the publication of our regular small fruit bulletin has been unavoidably delayed, this newspaper bulletin is sent out in respohse to many calls concerning the varieties of strawberries which our experience; scorns to indicate are the most profitable for general planting. From the list of seventy-five varieties which were fruited last season on the experimental grounds, I have selected ten vari- ■ itio winch have been tested long enough to warrant us in recommending them for general cultivation. Those marked B are bi-sexual, having a perfect blossom, while those marked P have a pistillate blossom, and require a mate in order to insure proper fertilization and the consequent production of fruit. They are placed in alphabetical order, and not in the order of merit. Bcder Wood (B) is one of the earliest, and has be<yrquite productive on our grounds: especially during the early part of the season. It is recommended for the home garden mainly on account of its earliness and good quality. The fruit is not so large as many others.

Brandywine <«) a a comparatively m-w variety,but a very luxuriant grower,healthy and quite productive. Fruit bright ml, good form and quality. Medium to late in ripening. , Brunett (B) is not generally grown by | commercial growers, but it is unquestionably one of the very last table berries on the list. It is not quite so productive with us as the Haverland, but its quality is unsurpassed. Bubach (P) is now a comparatively' old variety, and one of the largest and moat profitable home market berries that we have grown. It does not yield as many berries as some others, but the bushels an* | there, and it will bring one-thinl more] money than such varieties as Van l>eman, i or Green Prolific as generally grown. Clyde (B) has shown itself to be one of the most productive varieties, ou our grounds. Fruit large and handsome, and holds up well throughout the season. Greenville (B) will give good satisfaction ' almost anywhere, with good care. It a a rigorous grower, requiring plenty of room.

Absolutely Mire. Celebrated for It* great leavening strength ftiai healthfulness. Assures the Amd against alum and all form-* of adulteration common to the cheap brands, royal baking rowt>«* s* sw»YofcK

The fruit is large ami handsome and brings the top price. Haverland (P> is becoming so well and favorably known as to scarcely need more than a passing word of commendation. It is a very desirable home market berry. Lovett (B) was first sent out as an early variety, but ^ ripens about mid-season, and is a good pollenizer for Bubaeh. Parker Earle (B) will give excellent returns if planted on a rich, moist soil, but under ordinary treatment it is very likely to set' more fruit than it can ripen to j>erf«ctk>n. The crop will be harvested along with Gaudy. Warfield (P) is our very best berry for canning purjaxses. It retains its color and flavor better than any other berry we have ever grown. If grown in hills, the fruit will lie of good size, among the earliest to ripen, and lasting throughout the season? James Troop, Horticulturist.

Obituary, John H. Arnold, whose death at Walton, Kansas, was made mention of in the Democrat of March 5th, was bom in the state of Virginia, June 17, 1816. At the a^reof 18, he went to Ohio and served a three years’ apprenticeship at the black - smith trade. After finishing his appren-' ticeship he started a shop of his own at New Plymouth, Ohio. It was here that he met Sarah Ann Griffin and made her his wife, May 10,18-11. They lived in several places in Ohio, but finally located at Wilksville, Ohio. There he followed his trade for several years. When the gold excitement in California was at its height he left bis family at Wilksvilie and went to Cali-fornia-to seek his fortune. After remaining there for several years, he made enough money to buy a farm in Pike county, Indiana, U> which place he moved in the fall of 1858. The farm is located in Jefferson township, and is near the town of OtweiL He resided on this farm until 1883, when he Sold his fahu and moved to Walton, Kansas, where he resided until the time of his death. He; had always been a stout,, rugged man until last spring, when he took dropsy and Bright’s disease. He gradually went down from that time until death relieved him from his troubles on the night of February 34th. He had always been strictly honest, kind aud obliging. He belonged to n<t» church uor creed, but he ied a blameless life before the world. lie was a subscriber to the Democrat for many years. F. H. A. The List of ( undulate*.

Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent,} Washington. March 15,1897. Representative Bailey of Texas, had the honor of receiving the democratic nomination for speaker of the house, and every democrat who was present at the meeting i of the house today, voted for him. Mr. | Reed was, of course, elected, but the present house has a republican majority of about 100 less than the last house. There was more or less talk about an attempt being made at the republican caucus to curtail the power of the speaker, but when the time came for action, the nerve was lacking, and Mr. Reed will dictate the business of this house just as he did that of the last. The democratic nomination for speaker was equivalent to an election of the democratic leader iu the house, and Mr. Bailey will be I so recognized during the fifty-fifth congress. He is a comparatively young man for so responsible a position, but during his service in the house his natural ability has forced him to the front and no doubts are I entertained of his making a good leader and adding to the reputation he already has. There is much disappointment among the republicans over the appointments McKinley has made, and no end of growling because he hasn't made more, but he has! shifted meet o! the responsibility upon the j state delegations in congress by requiring them to unite upon every applicant fors office from their states before he will even I promise to consider them. This may be j merely a bluff to save time, if so, it is a i good one,-as aiaiiy of the republican sena- ! tors and representatives are known to have endorsed as many as five or six men for the j same position, and it will require time forj them to settle upon one man and to fix up things so as to save themselves at home, j Many of the delegations are also split up | among themselves and it will require time j for them to unite upon men for the offices j allotted to their state. Meanwhile Mr. j McKinley gains time to devote to some of his other troubles, including the extra ses- j

sion or congress wmcn eouveneu touay. Representative McMillan of Tennessee, has been made chairman of the executive committee of the national association of democratic clubs, and will direct the arrangements for the general celebration by all the clubs in the association, of Jefferson’s birthday, April 13th. 'iQie event is to be celebrated in Washington by a dinner at the same hotel in whic^the first celebration of Jefferson's birthday was held in 1830, which was attended by President Andrew Jackson, Vice-President John C. Calhoun, the entire cabinet and a large number of senators and representatives. Hon. William Jennings Bryan has accepted an invitation to be present and to respond to the toast “Thomas Jefferson.” The credentials of all three of the gentle, uieii appointed to the senate by the governors of Kentucky. Oregon and Florida, "arc now in Washington, but that is about as near a seat in the senate as any of these presenting them will get. The reasons for not seating the republicans from Kentucky and Oregon, are so weighty that no serious attempt will be made to upset them. The democratic appointee of the governor of Florida is thought to have a valid claim to a seat, but before it could be established the Florida legislature will probably have elected a senator; consequently it is not probable that the attempt will be made. All of the nice things said about McKinley’s aecessability to callers during his first few days in the White house, were rather too premature. He has since adopted rules which excepting that they do not shut everybody out one day in every week, are practically the same as those made by Mr. Cleveland, and it is now just a? hard for a private individual to get an interview with Mr. McKinley as it was with Mr. Cleveland. If the new tariff bill is what its framers call a “conservative” measure, it would be decidedly interesting to know what they would call radical. Although the country denounced aud drove from power the republican party because of the high duties imposed by the McKinley tariff law, the average rates of duty to be imposed by the | new tariff bill have been madejiiglier than the McKinley‘■bill. And about the heaviest taxation carried by the new bill is that imposed upon such necessities as sugar and clothing. There may not be such plain I sailing ahead of this measure as Mr. ! McKinley and his personal worshippers ex- ! pect. It will, of course, be railroaded ! through the house all right, but that it will | be materially amended before it gets | through the Senate is probable.

Spurgeon Items. Spring moving began here last Monday. Ed Ferguson moved on Elijah Keys' farm Monday. W. B. Cox will build a new barn in a short time. Professor J. R. Arnold will teach a spring term of school here. John Shepard, J. W. Scales and John L. Davis will attend school at Oakland City. Trustee Nelson of Marion, was here last Saturday and gave us a pleasant call. Downey Beatty, a prominent democrat and a strong Bryan man, came to town Monday morning smiling and informed us that he was sure the cause of free silver was bound to win, as a bright and welcome son came to his house on last Saturday and is now shining brightly. We are very thankful that our commissioners granted the telephone company the right of way in our county and hope soon to have a telephone line extended® here connecting our place with Winslow and Petersburg. Our people here will lend all their influence to have one built. On last Monday morning Grandma Arnold died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Royalty, in Lockhart township. She was born in 1810 in the state of Kentucky. Her maiden name being Margaret Ross. Her parents moved to Spencer county when she was a child. She married the Hon. Janes Arnold, who died a few years ago. She was the mother of our honored citizen, Isaac Arnold; she also has another son living, Joseph Arnold, two daughters. Mrs. George Royalty and Mrs. Samuel Fettinger. and several grandchildren, one of which is Prof. J. R. Arnold. She had many acquaintances and friends in Pike and Warrick counties. She was a devoted Christian, having joined the church in her youth, always' taking an active part in religion. At the time of her death she was a member of the Regular Baptist church at this place, being the oldest member of the church. She was buried on last Tuesday at South Fork cemetery in Lockhart township, bv the side of her husband, who had spent his life in the ministry. Would that we could all lay down the cares of this life with as1 bright hopes as this aged father and mother.

From Cripple Creek. After the big fire in Cripple Creek, I took a very severe cold and tried many remedies without help, the cold only becoming more settled. After using three small bottles of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, both the cough and cold left me, and in this high altitude it takes a meritorious cough" remedy to do any good. —G. B. Henderson, editor Daily Advertiser. For sale by J. R . Adams & Son. m Grand Secretary’s Visit to Petersburg. As announced in the last number of the Talisman the grand secretary spent a part of^the week in^Southeru Indiana. On account of the continued pressing duties in the office he sought to cancel all dates made. This wits done at Roekport and Evansville, very much to his regret, but the members at Petersburg insisted that the date should be filled, and so it was, he reaching there in the afternoon of the 15th and at once proceeded to work. At 3 o'clock he met with the faithful members of Evening Star Rebekah lodge No. 202, and gave the mem- J bers such instruction, exhortation and encouragement as he felt they were most in need. In the evening he attended the regular meeting of Pacific lodge No. ITS. There were more than one hundred members preseu t, including representatives from Augusta, Winslow, Algiers, Wheatland, Oakland City, aitd all the lodges in Pike county. The lodge staff gave a very excellent exemplification of the initiatory degree. The grand secretary followed this with instruction and an address. A recess was then declared and coffee and lunch were served, in that lavish and hospitable way that distinguishes the members of Pacific lodge. It was an enjoyable and highly profitable meeting. Dr. T. R. Rice is the N. G. and an excellent one. Bro. O. C. Shandy, I). D. G. >1. (a better one could not be had), Bro. Smith, Selby, Read, Frank and many others of the members never relaxed in their efforts to entertain visiting members.—Odd Fellows* Talisman.
