MONNETT HOTEL AT EVANSTON A BEEHIVE

‘Reporter Makes Good Story Out of Small Incident—Hotel Built by Fletcher Monnett. •- « ■ i i * The Monnett Hotel at Evanston, a subert) of Chicago, was erected by Fletcher Monnett, a former Benssela v er citizen, now deceased, but the-bostlery still bears his name. A swarm of bees took refuge in a room at the hotel Sunday and a reporter for The Record-Herald mokes the following story out of the incident: Patrons of the Monnett Hotel, 1834 Chicago avenue, Evanston, passed a sleepless night in sting proof beds, beseiged by an army of bees, which not only had taken possession of the rooms of the hotel, but had taken up a habitation in the walls and between the floors as well. On Sunday the scouts of the besieging army were seen reconnoitering about the place. Shortly before noon the queen bee led a cloud of her buzzing followers in the attack. N They poured through the . open window of a room occupied by David Hanson, a traveling man. Hanson, to his sorrow, tried to fight them off with a fly swatter. He was stung in a score of places. After their successful attack upon Ifcanson, the bees continued their Invasion. They found a hole in an uppojr floor where a heater pipe «onruw?ted, passed between tht flooring find spread throughout the walls. Failing to' lure them out by the usual methods, the hotel owners last night obtained several bee hives and filled them with honey combs. A hole was cut in the floor and the entrance to the hives was placed over it. It was hoped that the honey would lure the bees into the traps.

Grape Insects and How To Cope With the Pests.

"Of the species pf insects which infect grapes," sgys Piss. Troop, of the Entomological departrtfbnt of Purdue University, “ope Qf the most destructive to the foliage is the rose-beetle or rosechafer, but fortunately, this insect does not make its appearance in large numbers only occasionally, but when it does come, it usually strips the vines of their leaves in short order. No ordinary insecticide has any effect upon them, consequently the only successful method of holding them in check is to spread sheets or blankets under the trees and jar them off, then gather them up and empty them into a dish of kerosene. The grape leaf-folder and the grape-berry jnoth are the next most important species, the first feeding upon the leaves and the second causing wormy grapes, often destroying the whole bunch. These species are easily managed, however, as both pass the winter in the rubbish around the vines, and may be gathered up and burned. The grape phylixera which is so destructive to the European vineyards, does not injure our native varieties to any great extent, as they are more hardy and better able to overcome the attacks of these insects."

Council Has Busy Session Monday Night and Dismisses Petition for Btreot Improvement. • The city council at its regular session Monday evening had considerable business to transact and it was a’late hour when they adjourned. J. W. Horton presented a remonstrance against the improvement of Washington, Cullen andL Forest streets. It was signed by thirty resident freeholders and the petition was dismissed by the council. It is probable that the matter of the improvement of Washington street will be taken up again, as this street is in bad condition and badly in need of improvement. Clarence Fate was before the council asking for a lower rate for electric current. As his bill for the month of June for current was S4O, he seemed to have some ground for his request. The city attorney was instructed to prepare a new ordinance to regulate the .charges for light and water and it is probable there will be a readjustment of water and light rates. ' The city engineer was instructed to prepare specifications for a sewer petitioned for by M. J. Burr and the mayor was instructed to sign contract with Mr. Burr for its construction. Sam Stevens was awarded the contract for the College Ave. sewer at 31 y 2 cents per foot and $5.50 each for catch basins. The sewer is to be 6 inch. a There were two other bidders—C. Kellner and B. J. Moore. The three bids were within less than a dollar of each other. Preliminary assessments of benefits and damages were adopted for the opening pf an alley in Block 22 and the clerk was directed to give notice to the property owners affected. An ordinance was passed for the vacation of Forest street. The Jasper County Telephone Co. presented a written surrender of their franchise and will now be under the jurisdiction largely of the public utility commission, which will have power to fix the rates to be charged for The city attorney was instructed to prepare resolutions for sidewalks on Angelica street and on the south side of Rutsen street from Cullen to Division and on the south side of Harrison street from Cullen to Division street. A petition of C. W. Hanley and others asking the eity to purchase grounds for park purposes was referred to the park committee. The superintendent of the light plant was instructed to install a Tungsten street light at the junction of Webster and Dayton streets on the west side of the street. The city treasurer presented his renfftp, for the month of June. It shows the following funds on hand: Special Add. School, $683.89; Public Park, $547.09: Road, $3,832.35; Corporation, $3,343.60: Library, $803.17; Water, $5,088.79; Electric Light, $3,041,34, The following claims were at lowed: Electric Light Fund.

COMPANY M WILL NOT ATTEND SUMMER CAMP

Inability to dot Minimum Number Makes It Impossible for Local Militiamen to Attend. A ruling of the war department requires that national guard companies to be entitled to attend the summer camps must have »t least 38 enlisted men and two officers n camp. Company M could not procure that number and advices received from the Adjutnit-/eneral are that the company can not attend the camp, which will begin next Monday, July 21st, and continue for ten days. It had been suggested by Col. Aubrey L. Kuhhnan, of the third regiment, that other companies would be in the same predicament and that a consolidation might be arranged, but this is contradictory to war department orders. During the past several months there have been a number of discharges from the local organization for removal from the county, business interference, and expjrationsof enlistment. While the military law contemplates that all members attend this camp it has not been the policy of the local company commander to enforce attendance where the interests of the militiamen or his employer were jeopardized. The camp comes at a bad time of the year for the local company, owing to the fact that members of the company are employed on farms and are busy with the harvest.

We have a limited number ol fancy wash Dresses, Ladies’ Spring Suits, Dress Skirts, upon which we are offering prices which are bound to move them. Our advice—come early. „ ’ - * - FENDIG’S FAIR.

Dr. H. L. Brown and Little Daughter Return From Trip.

Dr. H. L. Brown and little daughter, Mary Jane, returned Monday morning from their vacation trip to the northwest and report a most delightful visit, including stops at Billings, Butte and Three Forks, Mont.; Nampa and Boise, Idaho; Spokane, Wash.; Sait Lake City, Utah, and the San Luis Valley, in Colorado. At Three Forks they saw the Malnes boys, who have a fine farm consisting of a section of good land. They were just getting ready to harvest 200 acres of which was a fine growth. They had out some oats and some other grain but did not get a very early start this year, owing to the fact—that they just moved there. Their proposition looks good to Dr. Brown. At Billings they saw*. Franln Wood and wife, also former Renfeselaer people. / At Spokane they visitedx Dr. Brown’s cousin and did not get to see any of the former Rensselaer people. They spent two days at Salt Lake City and the doctor and his little daughter took a trip to the lake and enjoyed a bath in the salt water. They spent two days In the San Luis valley of Colorado and report the Section they were in as being In fine shape and having splendid crops. The trip proved a very pleasant one.
