COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

Kally l)nv Several .sehools —I*rogrammes ot' Tlirrr Township.. Conventions.

Center Grove Suuday school, near Darlington, observed rally day last Sunday and report a very interesting and profitable time. Ilev. Trotti r, the pastor, preached a Sunday nchool sei mon, giving facts and statistics., and telling of the needs ol the school and tne necessity of more aggressive work on the part of all. He a'.so urged all to be loyal to the township, county and State associations. The usual rally day collection was taken, aud, as has been the case in every other school that lias observed the day, it was the largest collection for State work in its history.

Bethel Sunday school. Shannondale, will observe rally day, Sunday, October 21 )n next Suuday afternoon at 3 o'clock Oakland Sunday school, in Madison township, will observe rally day. This is the bauner school of the county. In the evening Mt. Pleasant school will observe. The county ollicers will be present at both places and will assist in the exercises. These schools deserve much credit for the push that they manifest in their work. Oakland Sunday sctiool is held in a school house, and during the State convention held here in June of last year it will be remembered that the entire enrollment of this school was in line in tiie grand Sunday school parade. It will be surprising to many if a church is not built near the site of this school house, and, as a result of this Sunday school many will be won to church membership and to Christ.

The church question is being agitated quite a good deal and preaching services are frequently held in Oakland Sunday school.

Mt. Pleasant Sunday school also deserves much credit, as it kept open all last winter, a thing it had not done for years, and is succeeding splendidly.

Three township conventions will be held during the next few weeks and more will soon follow. Union township will start the ball rolling with an enthusiastic convention at Smartsburg on Thursday, Oct. 21 then comes Madison township at Mt. Pleasant on Saturday, Oct. 23: then Franklin township on Thursday, Oct. 2S, at Kingsley's Chapel. Excellent programmes have been arranged for all of these places, and dinner will be provided for all who attend. Below will be found the programmes of the aboye conventions:

l-.tlu- Culver's liciiu.

The Supreme Court overruled tlie petition for a rehearing in the casein which it recently ailirmed the judgment of the Criminal Court of Marion

county, sentencing Colin Campbell to

four years' imprisonment in the penitentiary for mebezzling S52 from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, by which he was employed as agent and collector. Campbell claimed that the money was due him for commissions, and that the jury convicted him solely because the fact was brought out in the evidence, that he took with him, when he left the city, the lifteen-year-old daughter of Dr. Culver, with whom he had become acquainted while singing in the choir of a neighboring church.

Campbell had a wife living in West Indianapolis when he eloped with the girl and went to St. Louis, where he lived under an assumed name until arrested and brought back for trial on the charge of embezzlement.

The Huptist church of lirown's Valley held a business meeting the other day and that notorious blatherskite, E. L. Prather', came before the session and asked to be reinstated. He was refused, and very properly so. Whereupon he left the church followed by about thirty sympathizers. What people can be thinkiug of when they follow in the stinking wake of such a social hyena as Prather it is hard to imagine.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

It*

The San Jose Scale, about which so much has been said of late, is pre-emi-nently a fruit insect, as it feeds upon all kinds of fruit trees, and as such it is moro to be feared than any other fruit pest yet introduced. It has only been about eleven years since it was brought from California on nursery stock to New Jersey, and yet within that time it has spread to more than twenty different States, it has probably been in some sections of Indiana since, about IS',10 I have been unable to find it on trees which were planted previous to that time. My attention was lirst called to it last winter by Mr. J. 10 Keiiuan, of Salem, Washington county, who sent me some infested plum branches. This tree was dug up and destroyed, but, on visiting his place last June, I found that it had spread to ad-joining trees. Since that time 1 have found it near Itorden, Hartle and Lienryville, Clark county

Madison, JefFerson county, Indianapolis, Marion county and Peru, Miami county. In many places the orchards w.'re found to be very badly infested some have already been cut down and burned and others will doubtless soon follow, causing much disappointment aud loss to the owners.

Messrs. Veasey & Winch, of the local board of trade, are enjoying a little personal warfare list at present. It appears that Mr. Winch retired from the business October 1 and each gentleman claimed a balance due him. To secure what Mr. Veasey claimed was his due a constable swooped down on tbe Sherman House and seizing Mr. Winch's Suuday clothes bore them in triumph to the board of trade rooms in the Fisher block where Mr. Veasey fondly ga/.?d on them, his countenance shining in the refulgent light of victory. It didn't shine long though for Mr. Winch got another constable who boldly rushed up to the board of trade rooms and seized all the furniture to satisfy Mr. Winch's claim. At last accounts the battle was still on.

HOW IT MAY UK HKClXi.N'IZKI).

In looking for this insect most persons will pass it by unnoticed on account of its very small size. The female scale is only about 1-25tli of an inch iu diameter, while the the ma is only about one-half that size. Ti

a

js nearly circular

while the male is more elongated. The female is sharply convex or conical in the centre. This last character will I help to distinguish it from many of the other more common species Its I color is nearly like the bark on which 1 it is found Another distinguishing

character is found in the reddish dis

coloration of the bark, immediately surrounding the scale, extending through both the outer an inner bark These characters will enable one with an ordinary pocket magnifying iglass to readily detect the presence ol the insect.

TI1KATMKNT

There are two principal remedies which are in use. (1) The hydro cyanic acid gas remedy, aud (2) spray ing with certain solutions or washes The first method is not in use to any extent except in California, and in fu migating nursery stock. The most practical remedy in the orchard spraying the trees with a strong solu tion of whale oil soap, (two pounds dissolved in one gallon of wat«sr,) or with strong kerosene emulsion, or even pure kerosene oil when the leaves are oil'. The spraying should be don at two or three different times during the year. Quite recently Professor Rolf of the Florida Experiment Sta tion, has discovered a fungus disease similar to the chinch bug disease working on this scale in Florida, mav be that this is Nature's remedy if so it will doubtless come to] our re lief in time.

Should any person suspect the currence of this pest on trees in neighborhood, the Station would preciate receiving samples of the fected wood. JA.MKS

For Shooling Dan George.

The trial of John Ellis for shooting Dan George was set for trial yesterday, but was not tried because the leading witness for the defense, Jimmie Riley, was not present. An attachment was issued for him and he will be brought in from the wilds of Parke county as soon as captured. Danny (Jeorge, the prosecuting witness, was on hand and looked decidedly worse for wear. The greater portion of his lower jaw was shot away and what remained is held in place by an antiquated rag which is tied about his head. The shooting occurred on July 3 and Ellis has been in jail ever since that time.

Ilorse Found

Bruce We6t received word yesterday from Jamestown that his horse and buggy, which were stolen iast week, had been found seven miles south of that place. The thieves had driven the horse that far and then abandoned the rig. It i6 more that likely that the horse and buggy were stolen by tramps who did not intend to attempt to sell them but to merely utilize them in getting over territory without exertion. This practice has gotten to be

The ladies of the M. 10. Aid Society and of the vicinity of Yountsvillo at a regular meeting held Oct. ],'! passed, the following resolutions:

Jicsnlvctl, That iu their presence hero on such business our community has b.-en insulted and the moral inlluenciv lowered licNtilrcil, That the mothers and boys have been degraded by the knowledge that lnir, been thus thrust upon them. And that such training is antagonistic to everything honest, true and pure, ami encourages all the brutal instincts of boys.

Ht'solrul, That their presence hero has brought, and will continue to bring, persons here who are neither an honor or a help.

Ilcnilvcil, That so far as possible we will use our inlhience against this intrusion, and will try by every honest moans to create a public sentiment which shall banish them.

N W Postal

is announced that two new sizes of postal card will be issued by the goverment, both smaller than the one in use at present. One of them will be about a quarter of an inch narrower than the present size, to be used by merchants and others who desire to send the card to customers or friends inside of envelopes. The other card will be. an inch smaller one way and three quarters of an inch another than the oues to be had now. They will be most convenient for indexing purposes for librarians and others. The card wiil havodifl'erent lettering from those now in use. The larger one will have the head of Jefferson, the same as now, and the smaller one will have a vignette of the head of John Quincy

Adams, whose face has never been put upon paper issued by the department before, '.--"v"

A Itimr Fruiii Now ltlcllilioml.

New Richmond liccord: The Montgomery county grand jury seems to have found some small ground for an indictment against our butcher, J. M. Ward. A bill appeared in the way of a warrant to which Jere generously came to time and appearing in Crawfordsville on Fruay last, delivered himself to the authorities. His trial will not coine off until the regular January court grind, aud until then Jere confidently rests under a very small bond for his appearance. Then it will appear whether our townsman is really guilty of butchering diseased meats or whether the matter is all stolid prejudice by a few jealous patrons aud tradesmen.

Notes.

P. M. Huck, of No. 8, is on the sick list, but lii6 school will again open Monday.

Walter N. VanScoyoc is the new teacher at No. 3i). School 15 is closed down by the county health ollicer on account of some of the pupils having diphtheria. It might be a good thing to find out where the sick children got the diphtheria microbes, so as to prevent a repetition of the plague.

The county health ollicer closed the lilack Creek school on Tuesday, on account of two mild casus of diphtheria the district. The school will re-open on Monday.

(toiuu'iil Wallace's

When Gen. Wallace arrived at the Kankakee Monday evening he met with quite a serious little mishap. Iu stepping from the track to the platform of the elevated club house he missed his footing and fell several feet to the ground bslow. coming down with a terrible thump. No bones were broken but he was sadly jarred and was quite sick all night. He rapidly improved on Tuesday, however.

not Iior School Closed.

On account of diphtheria in the neighborhood the Stout school house, on lilack Creek, has been closed by County Health Otlicer Keegan. The houses containing diphtheria are all quarantined and the law provides very strictly that during the quarantine no one shall leave the house or go into it except the physician.

A (ioo«l Prospect.

J. A. Dilks, of Indianapolis, general superintendent of the Deitrich gas syndicate, 6tates that Crawfordsvill's prospect for a good gas supply this winter are better than those of any other Indiana town. All the wellB in the Crawfordsville field are gushers and if there is a lack it will be tho pipe line's adequacy.

Notice.

In justice to Mr. James Wainscott, deputy collector of delinquent tax iu Coal Creek township, I wish to say he I has made full return of all money collected. Wu
