KILLING MOSQUITOS.

A Good Plan for Getting Rid of These Nulsancaa—Causes of Malarial Sickness.

The practice is becoming quite general now of putting a little kerosene oil on stagnant pools of water where mosquitos are hatched. The oil not only kills the larva, but it kills the old mosquitos when they alight to lay their eggs. Whole districts are now being rid of these pests in the summer, greatly to the benefit of the health and comfort of the inhabitants.

It requires about one ounce of kerosene to fifteen square feet of water surface It is found that mosquitos rarely fly over a half mile from their hatch ing place, and it is therefore not di Hicult or expensive to rid the most localities of them. They are now kno*n to be the chief, if not the sole cause of malarial sickness, and it is usually mueli cheaper to destroy them than to pay doctor bills.

Are Making Their Requisitions. The different county officials are now preparing their requisitions for supplies to be used in their offices duriog next year. The board of county commissioners are also figuring on what they will need for the year. The estimates will be submitted to the county council, which meets the first week in September, for their consideration. All the requisitions must be tiled with the auditor by the 8th of August.

Good Rural Route Showing. Frank Clements and W. P. Daggett, the first two men appointed from this city on the rural routes, have just completed the first three years of service. During that time they have delivered 180,000 pieces of mail and have traveled a total of 2S,500 miles. The first year they carried an average of from 300 to 500 pieces of mail per week, which has increased to the present year to tUO to 700 pieces. The routes are now selfsupporting, the present salary being $500 per annum.

An Earnest Pica For Assistance. A heartrendering and agonizing cry for bread rises from the parched lips of China's millions of starving men, women and children. Owing to the scanty rainfall for several years and no rain at all this year, no crop was harvested in the provinces of Shansi and Shensi, and now a section of one hundred thousand square miles in extent, with a population ooe-third as large as that of the United States, is sorely afflicted and millions are starving, many of them actually already at death's door. The Christian people throughout America are riiaking an effort to rescue these poor people. The different youuer people's societies of this city have decided to make an effort to get the good people of Crawfordsville to help feed the starving. We have decided to bold a union meeting next Sunday evening at the First Methodist church and will at that time take a public collection for- this fund AH that you give will be sent free of charge to the missionary board in China. Dr.

West has kindly consented to give us a short talk on the condition of China be sure to come and hear him. In these stricken provinces the men have become like birds of prey—long, lank, cadaverous, and they snatch from the hands of the few fortunate ones any morsel of food that they see Women and children are being sold. Infanticide is frightfully frequent. It costs bat 3 cents a day to save a life from starvation. For the saving of how many lives will you be responsible.

CHAIRMAN.

Rev. Snyder's Success.

Danville (LI.) JV'eies: Rev. Snyder, for the past three years pastor of the United Brethren church of this city, has resigned his place and will become financial manager of the WestGeld college. Mr. Snyder made his resignation known to his congregation at the regular services Sunday morning and that his work here would close Sept. 8.

The announcement is a matter of much regret to the members of his church and to the citizens of Danville in general. Three years ago he came to this city from Crawfordsville and organized the U. B. church. It now has a handsome new structure and a membership of nearly 100. It has a membership in its Sunday school of nearly 150. Last winter the members of the church held a most successful revival service and during the meetings many professed religion. In his new work Rev. Snyder will have charge of the financial interests of the institution to which he goes. For the present he will make this city his headquarters and his family will remain here.

In Mcmorlam.

Louis Dorsey Beecher, who died Sunday and was buried Monday evening, was nearly four years old and was a child of singularly happy disposition and lovable manners. His life, though short, was beautiful for its purity and gentleness, the command of the Saviour, "Suffer little children to come unto me," has again been obeyed and we submit to Fli* will.

Town Clerks Barred.

Attorney-General Taylor has instructed the superintendents of all insane hospitals in the state not to receive at their iu&tiiutioDS persons whose insanity has been determined by town clerks. Under a law of the last legislature town clerks have justice of the peace powers, but not in insanity cases.

Burglary

Tunneling1 Tn( the Vault- of tlio Selhy SiiU'lting Company Roguos (let §280,00(1.

A California Clime Which Was Comnulicd Without Leaving Clue Behind.

Sau Ft Ki co Aug. 7.—The Selby Smelting and Load company has boon robbed of $280,000 worth of gold bullion. The thieves tunneled from outside the building under the vault at the Selby works, which are located on the bay shore about 30 miles from San Fraueisco. They got away with nearly 1,200 pounds of line gold, worth an ounce, without leaving a trace of their Identity.

The robbery is the most successful and remarkably ever accomplished and was evidently the work of skilled mechanics. It is supposed that when the robbers secured their loot they loaded it into a boat that was waiting and disappeareu in the tog that had come over Sau Francisco bay. In their haste to get away they left two gold burs worth nearly $50,000 lying on the bank at the water's edge. The police at all the uay cities were immediately notilicd of the crime, but all they could discover was a few of the tools that tlie robbers had used.

The Selby Smelting and Lead com pany is the largest concern of its kind on the Pacific coast. Ores are sent from all over the Western country to be smelted and reflced, anil the gold is then turned over to the mint. The steamer makes special trips between the smelter and San Francisco, carry ing ores and bringing back refined gold. Yesterday when the workers en te-ed the vault to prepare the gold for loading on the steamer, the rob bery was discovered. The thieves had taken the precaution of fastening the door of the vault from the inside, so that it would be difficult to open from the outside In case they were Interrupted in their work.

Preparatory engineering extending over several weeks was done before tne robbery could be accomplished. Close to the wall of the building In which the vault Is located a shaft was sunk below the foundation. Then tunnel was run to the vault and holes were bored in the iron floor until an aperture sufficiently large to admit a man was made. It was then easy work to pass down the treasure into the tunnel and load it into a boat. The robbers even took the precaution to sprinkle red pepper in the tunnel in order to make things as uncomfortable as possible for anyone who might attempt to pursue them. 7
