THE GOLDEN RULE.
FARMERS ALARMED.
Scale in Indiana Whe»t-Tl»ere is No Known Remedy at Present.
jJ. 0. Arthur, botanist of Purdue University, at Lafayette, has the following to say concerning the scab in
headB
of wheat: The season, which has been so favorable to many kinds of crops, has also developed to more than usual prominence a number of funguous diseases. Many fields of wheat, that ju.it bufore ripening promised a good yield, have suddenly been struck with a kind of blight that kills the heaiin or psrts of them, and renders the grain worthless. The part of the head affected is easily detected at this time, as it turns prematurely white, while the healthy part remains green. The kernels become shriveled, and soon look moldy.
This injury is so considerable in different parts of the state that farmers are alarmed, and have accused the wheat midge aud green fly of causing the damage. 1c is not du^, however, to any insect, but to a minute fungus that attacks the wheat heads at tbe time of fljwering. The spores of the fungus blow through tho air, lodgo on the delicate parts inside the llower and soon penetrate the kernel and envelope it with a mash of moldy filaments which sap the life of the kernel, and forming new spores spread the disease to other flowers and throughout the field. Looked at carefully the heads appear pinkish from the abundance of the slightly colored spores. Tne disease is very appropriately called "wheat scab."
Although there is no known remedy for this malady, in fact it has not yet received as much study as its importance warrants, yet one or two precautionary measures have come to light and should be borne in mind. It is observed that some varieties are
le3s
sub
ject to scab than others, and that fortunately these include soma of the old substantial varieties. Oa the experiment station grounds at Lafayette, the varieties Velvet Chaff, Early
Rip9,
New Hybrid Prolific, Harvest King and Michigan Amber showed no scab this season, while other varieties were much injured, for example, Oakto Chief had 25 per cent of the heads affected Diamond Grit, 40 per cent Pidigree Giant, 60 pjr cent White Golden Cross, 75 per cent, and others in intermediate amounts. By taking into accouut the date of ripening, however, it is seen that all varieties that ripened with us before the 1st of July are almost or quite free from scab, while those which ripened later are all more or less affected Th:s agrees with the observations of previous seasons.
At present the beet measures against scab are selection of early varieties, and hastening maturity by early seeding, good culture ana similar methods. Nothing can be done to mitigate tbe irjury after the scab shows in the field.
Alumni Trnsteo,
Monday evening the librarian of Wabash College, counted the votes cast for nominations for alumni trustee. Of the 10S votes recorded, 71 were for Judge A. D. Thomas, who alone received the number requisite to make him eligible to be voted on. The names of twenty-four other alumni were represented in the voting but no one of them received enough votes to nominate him.
Mortgage Kxeiuptlon Claims.
There were over 1,000 mortgage claims filed with the auditor before May 1st. These will take 8500,000 or one fortieth of our taxable property, off the tax duplicate. However they will put nearly that much on in the form of money that had not been listed for taxation. The filing of these exemptions resulted in the unearthing of many loans not before known to the assessor.

TO BE WIPED OUT.
The County Debt, the Legacy or John L. Goben.to He Paid oft-Next WeekOther Matters.
The county commissioners Tuesday afternoon instructed the auditor and treasurer to pay off the remaining 830,000 of the county bonds when they become due on May 11. These bonds will accordingly be paid off and Montgomery county will have no debt either bonded or floating. There will still remain in tho county cash box over 850,000, enough to pay our way uutil the next settlement is made. We are on the high road of prosperity and too much credit cannot be given the administration at the court house. When the present board of commissioners, auditor and treasurer took charge the county was nearly 8100,000 in debt and the tax levy was being yeurly increased. Affairs were going to the bow-wows. In less than four years time, with a constantly decreasing tax levy and more public improvements going on than over before, this debt— the legacy of the John Ooben gang —has been wiped out There is every promise that taxes will keep on growing beautifully less and it is hoped that our new county council will be as provident, honest, and wise, as tho present administration has proved itself to be.
The commissioners Tuesday ordered that the profiles aud surveys for the following proposed bridges be tiled preliminary to contracting for the work:
The Needham bridge in Franklin township three bridges in Sugar Creek township, one over Wythe creelc, one over Lye creek and one over Potato creek one bridge in Union township on the Greencastle road: one in Walnut townshiptover Walnut Pork near Center school house one in Scott township on the highway between Brown's Valley and Ladoga.

Telephone privileges on the highways of the county were granted M. E. Clouser and others of Sugar Creek township, to W. J. Miles and others of New Market, and to Robert Campbell and others of Newtown.

Governor Mount Tuesday reci-ived a letter from General Wilder from Knoxville, in which he stated that he would attend the Torre Haute encampment. O.ie of the most prominent events of the encampment will be a reunion of Wilder's Brigade, but the arrangements for it have been deferred until it could be learned whether or not General Wilder would be able to be present. Arrangements will be completed at this meeting of the brigade for tbe dedication of the Wilder Brigade monument at Chickatnautra. The letter to the governor was as follows: "On returning from the east I find your letter of the 24th Yes, I will be at Terre Haute at the meeting on the 23d to the 25th, and hope to see many of the dear old comrades there. I hope that General Miller, General Atkins and Major Connolly and all the officers of the old command can meet with us and as many of the file as possible. I go to Chattanooga on tbe 3d to see how the work on the monument is progressing and to see how we can take care of the boys next fall when we meet to dedicate the substantial memorial to the grandest and sturdiest command I ever SBW."

Last Tureday Rbout half past two o'clock a Vandalia box car and ilat car were peacefully standing on the crossing of the Big Four and Vandalia roads. They had been left there for a few moments oniy, but these few moments were a few moments too many, for a Big Four engine backed up by a long loaded train of cars came joshing along at a clip of forty-three miles an hour and struck tho Vandalia ears full and fair. Both of them were lifted off the track and dumped into the ditch, the Big Four engine' suffering no greater damage tiutn a demolished cow catcher. Tho llat car was a total wreck and tho sad thing was that it bore the new iron bridge to be put in over Walnut Fork. Mr. Bridge was battered into a mass of twisted iron and it will take some tail work at the factory to get it into shape. The repairs at Walnut Fork will be delayed some timo in contequence.
