The Journal of Sunday, Dec. 7. will contain hf first installment of a hitherto cnprintea larrative of the conspiracy that culminated In be assassination of President Abraham Linln by J. Wilkes Booth. Samuel Bland Arnold, tne of the convicted conspirators, died recently n Maryland, leaving this history of the plot o kidnap Mr. Lincoln, which culminated in his leath. It deals with the formation of the plot. he arrest of the conspirators, the execution of cms and the Imprisonment of others at the Dry Tortugas. with statements of alleged cruellea to which they "were there subjected. The tarratlvt will begin in the Sunday Journal and vill be continued from day to day until competed, which will be Dec 20. If the Senate has regard for the national tonor, the public welfare or the popular vill. It will not vote to admit Arizona and s'fiw Mexico as States. The annual meeting of the New England Inti-Imperiallst League, held in Boston a ew days ago, was a sort of coeducational .flair, the attendance being about equal of nen and women. The latter have probably ien admitted to membership to give the novement dignity and force. The American fleet now assembling in he West Indies under Admiral Dewey is he largest and best ever brought together iy the United States, but it will not have . chance to do as effective work as was lone by a much less formidable one, also ommanded by Admiral Dewey. It is gratifying to know that the city lUthorities and the representatives of the ailroad companies are considering plans to nake the railroad crossings safe either by iaducts or changes in grades. By the Tagart administration this important matter ras used to promote Its political interests. Men who denounce the proposition of the ecretary of the treasury as favoring a ank assets currency cannot have read his eport. He distinctly declares against such . plan, but urges that banks be given auhority to issue a limited number of notes, rhich are to be secured by a general bank ax for the redemption of the notes of enks which fail. The idea of holding an annual live stock xpositlon at Chicago was an inspiration, rid the continued success of the expositon is not surprising. The live stock Inustry in the United States represents L50J.000.00O more than all the cereals, all " be cotton, all the minerals, all the tobacco nd all the lumber interests of the country, uch an industry deserves all the "boomlg" possible. President James J. Hill, of the Great lorthern Railroad Company, who is in Washington, cordially commends the Presient's recommendation regarding publicity t trust affairs. "No sound corporation an object to having Its financial standing nown," la the opinion of Mr. Hill, "and io public should know about those which re not sound." That Is an unanswerable rgument. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company will ot get from the New York Board of Jdermen tho privilege of reaching that Ity by tunneling the Hudson because its facers have refused to purchase the votes f aldermen, but later the company will et a franchise from the New York Legisiture. The refusal to bribe aldermen la an lample that should be followed by other orpo rations. People who are predicting that no antlust legislation will be given the force of iw during this session of Congress should nderstand that the House Judiciary com ilttee's subcommittee has already amendJ the Llttlefleld bill, requiring that all arporatlons engaged in interstate comierce shall make sworn reports of their nanclal condition to the Interstate-com-lerce Commission. The beet-sugar association of Michigan as requested Senator Alger "not to vote )r any treaty with Cuba which reduces te tariff on sugar." He has -replied to the Xect that he will vote for what he believes i be to the best Interests of Michigan he theory of our government is that on II questions involving national Interests senator should vote for what he believes be the best Interests of the entire counThone who are called the National Re ubllctns hold the balance of jMjwer in elaware, which now has no United States r.ator. The Addicks Republicans lack x votes of a majority and the Democrats rven. while th anti-Addicks Republicans ave Ight votes. Addlcks would take any tan the eight Republicans would name IX

they would vote for Addlcks for the other vacancy, but they refuse to have anything to do with the "gas man." On the other hand, it is said the eight Republicans opposed to Addlcks would bargain with the Democrats to elect one. Republican and one Democrat to the Senate. The Democrats, however, are divided into factions on the senatorial succession and cannot agree upon one candidate and thus make a combination against Addlcks. It is said that Addicks would not have had so many members in the Legislature had not the Democratic candidate for Governor been fright

ened Just before the election and made a bargain with the Addlcks men to give two Democratic votes for the Addicks ticket for tho Legislature for one vote for the Democratic candidate for Governor. Thus it appears that there is not much to choose between the party leaders in Delaware. CX-SPEAKEIl It II KD OX TIIE TARIFF. The improved condition of ex-Speaker Reed affords ground to hope that he maylive years to contribute his views on lead ing topics to the consideration of the coun try from time to time In articles like that which appears in the North American Re view, entitled "What Shall We Do with the Tariff?" A reader will look a long time be fore he will find such a philosophical and at the same time practical vindication of the protective policy. In a few sentences Mr. Reed disposes of the old-time statement that a protective tariff was needed to put Infant Industries on their feet. Such an Idea makes protection a medicine when it is a food, since time and experience have enlarged that Idea of protection. "The principle which underlies protection," says Mr. Reed, "is the securing at all times to the American people the markets of Amer ica." What protection means is stated by him as follows: It means that the work of this Nation shall be done by the people of this Nation. All wealth comes from the marrying of labor to the raw material. In a country like ours, extending over such vast regions. there can be no lack of materials. Any system which enables our people to do our own work is the system which can give, and has given, the best results. The enemy have all along sneered at the idea that taxes can make us rich. Rut this is simply to beguile by words. Would It be any less absurd to say that taxes gave us a good currency? And yet they did. We tax state currency. We do not raise one cent by the tax: it simply bars out the state currency. We use the tax as a way of accomplishing a result as means to an end. Tn like manner we use the taxing power to create a barrier behind which we could do our own work. All the theorists, the men who thought there was nothing in the world they could not think of;- declared that we would be ruined. We have not been ruined, but are to-day a very lively example of a people who do their own work. What would you say is the ideal industrial condition of a nation? Everybody at work. Just now we have everybody at work. So much of Mr. Reed's paper is quoted because within that space an unanswerable argument based upon experience has been made for the policy of protection by a tariff. Mr. Reed does not believe that the Dingley tariff is the end of wisdom. This admitted, he proceeds to say that many people demand a new tariff act. Doubtless a few men might frame a tariff bill that would be free from the errors of the Dingley bill and yet retain all- its virtues. "Where would you enact such a bill?" asks the man who sat in Congress twenty-two years. "In your own mind, of course; but a bill enacted in the mind, unfortunately, has no extraterritorial force," is Mr. Reed's answer. This veteran who has seen a half dozen attempts to enact tariff acts reminds Individuals that "a tariff bill enacted by Congress, like the progress of the world. Is the result of a fierce conflict of opposing human interests, and must be so." A portion of the closing paragraph in Mr. Reed's article is an allusion to Mr. Cleveland's experience in tariff making. It is as follows: There was once a President of the United States of great power and Influence. For four years he had no Congress behind him, and he dreamed of such a tariff-reform law as would suit him. By and by he had a Congress of his own party, and he started out to make such a tariff law as would suit both gods and men. There fire those of us who remember the dismal looks of the House when It yielded to the Senate, and the averted looks of the President as he let the bill pass by unsigned and friendless. To those men it became apparent, as it should be to the whole world, that the tariff enacted is always different from the act in your mind. It may be said that Mr. Reed was born a protectionist. Such is not the case; In fact, it was known to his early friends that he was quite the reverse. He imbibed very much of the academic theory so popular years ago with liberally educated young men without experience. Just before Mr. Reed's first election to Congress, in 1876, when Republican leaders saw that the tariff would soon be an issue, Mr. Blaine and others were not a little concerned as to the attitude Mr. Reed would assume toward protection. As soon as the tariff became an issue Mr. Reed began to investigate the whole subject in the light of experience and as an economic proposition. To-day he may be classed with the ultra protectionists and one of the ablest champions of the principle. THE IMTED STATES AXD CIRA. There is every reason to believe that the American people feel that Congress should do whatever is possible to bring the Cubans Into closer relations with the United States. Certainly a powerful nation should do all in its power to help the people to whom it has given popular government. From a business point of view such a line of action would be politic, but. In a larger sense, a strong nation should do whatever it can to enable a weak neighbor that has received nothing but outrageous treatment for scores of years to reach higher conditions. This government has done much, it is true; but that fact is the best possible reason that It should not drop a work which it has begun and carried so far. A year ago men in Congress and elsewhere declared that "we owe Cuba nothing." That is a literal fact If obligation Is based upon the basis of dollars, but when a weak and not an intelligent people Is struggling to establish a free government through which it can rise, to better conditions, the great Republic is under a moral obligation to assist in whatever way it can. It was a great blunder that the reciprocal bill before Congress did not pass in the form it came from the House committee. That error is one that cannot now be remedied. To a certain extent It has alienated the Cubans. The thing to be done now Is for Congress to pursue a course that will overcome whatever hostile feeling there may bo on the part of the Cubans. Even If those who are urging the annexation of Cuba are sincere in their professions they must see the Importance of winning the good will of the Cubans. If that shall be done, and Cubans learn, as they must, that it is to their Industrial advantage to become a part of the United States, annexation will come about easily. If, on the other hand, the Senate shall insist upon 4

treaty that may seem to enforce harsh conditions, the Cubans will drift away from us, and annexation or anything else will be difficult to accomplish. What would prove a great boon to Cub.; in the way of concessions would not harm an American Industry, yet it would prepare the Cubans to enter Into close relations with the United States. DKI'AHTMEXT OF AGRICULTURE. The annual report of the secretary of agriculture gives an Instructive summary of the recent operations of the department, which has grown very much in usefulness and Importance in recent years. The department wa3 originally created in 1SG2. Prior to that time it existed as an independent bureau attached to the Fatent Office in the "Interior Department. There was no propriety in attaching it to that office, and it had only a feeble sort of existence. Its head was styled the commissioner of agriculture, and for many years his principal duty was supplying members of Congress with garden seeds for distribution among their constituents. The seeds were of comparatively little worth, but many a congressman has made his calling and election sure by plastering his district with them. It is somewhat remarkable that so important an interest as agriculture remained so long with but slight recognition from Congress. The Republican party first gave it a dignified place In the organization of the government. In 1SG2 Congress made the Bureau of Agriculture a distinct department and passed the agricultural

college act giving to each State 30,000 acres of land at 11.23 per acre for each senator and representative it might have in Congress to constitute an endowment for an agricultural college. That was the beginning and foundation of the agricultural college and experimental station system, which has contributed immensely to the development of agriculture. It was not until February, 1SSD, that the Department of Agriculture was made an executive department and the head of it a member of the Cabinet. Since then its scope has been much enlarged, many new duties devolved upon it and its usefulness greatly Increased. Among the comparatively new duties Imposed on the secretary of agriculture Is that of inspecting and certifying meats Intended for export, when the laws of the country to which the meats are destined require an inspection, as all civilized countries now do. An Inspection of live animals is also provided for. Without these inspections our exports of meats and live animals would cease. The secretary says in his report that during the year the inspections of live animals aggregated nearly GO.000,000 and those of slaughtered animals nearly 30,000,000. This is rather more Importe nt business than distributing garden seeds. Another Important work attached to the Agricultural Department Is that of the Weather Bureau, which was transferred to the department in 1831. The value of this service to the people, and especially to the farmer and to the mariner, cannot be overestimated. Farmers in every part of the United States are guided by its forecasts, and the report says "ample testimony is afforded that the value of property thus saved from loss amounts to many times the cost of maintaining the bureau." The weather forecasts announced by means of bulletins, flags, moving trains and by rural free delivery routes reach millions of persons every day. The secretary shows that valuable re sults have been gained by the Introduction of foreign seeds and plants, some of which are proving very desirable additions to our native products. By the Introduction of new and hardy varieties of wheat our wheat-growing area has been materially extended and the yieid increased. Until within recent years no effort was made to obtain reports of the condition or prospects of the crops, analysis of soils and plants, or to ascertain the meteorology cr climatic peculiarities of different sections of the country, the adaptation of their soil or temperature to different classes, species or varieties of plants. Now all of these subjects are carefully investigated. The department has divisions of statistics, of botany, of entomology, of pomology, qf vegetable pathology, of chemistry, of forestry, of publications, of experimental stations, of agrostologythe science of grasses of soils, of fiber Investigation, and of road Inquiry. At the head of each of these divisions there Is a competent chief with trained subordinates, and they are all kept busy. The department has also authority to inspect and quarantine live animals imported and to slaughter such as are found to be diseased, and to prevent the transportation of diseased animals from one State to another or to foreign countries. The public has very recently had an exhibition of its alertness and energy in this regard. In short, under the progressive methods of successive Republican administrations the Department of Agriculture, with its head a member of the Cabinet, has become one of the most important and useful in the government. Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, is asking the President to remove S. H. Vlck, postmaster at Wilson, in that State, because he is a negro, and the patrons of the office want a white postmaster. The office is one of the largest in the State, paying about $2,000 a year. It is admitted that Vick has made a good postmaster, and nothing Is brought against him except his color. In view of the President's recent letter. It. is surprising that Senator Pritchard should make a request which is sure to be denied. While it is a measure that does not attract so much attention as some others, the immigration bill which the House passed the last session Is most important. Too many Ignorant and unskilled Immigrants are comlns to this country at the present time a fact which will be realized should the demand for common labor fall off. It is good news that Senator Penrose, who is in charge of the bill, will push It. and that he has already taken steps in that direction. The New York World is so bold as to say that Judge Parker, of New York, whom it is urging as a Presidential candidate, "seems to be acceptable to Mr. Cleveland, ex-Governor Hill, Mr. Bryan and Senator Gorman." The World, however, uses the doubtful word "seems." To be acceptable to so many men of different minds means that in the fights of the past six years he has been a neutral or noncombatant. SBBSBSBSBSBSBBSSSMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSBnBBBMSBBBBBBBBSBBBSSSSBS. Consternation has been caused among the French aristocracy by the Introduction in the Chamber of Deputies of a bill abolishing all French titles. The movement is said to

be due to some recent scandalous conduct of Count BonI de Castellane, who married an American woman. French titles under the republic are little more than ornamental.

but they are highly prized by their owners and their abolition would affect the social status of about twenty American women whose husbands have titles. The Journal sends congratulations to Hon. Martin L. Bundy, of New Castle, who, with his "wife, will celebrate their sixtythird wedding anniversary to-day. Judge Bundy is one of the pioneer lawyers of the State, having begun the practice in 1S12, and one of the founders of the Republican party, having been a delegate to the Philadelphia convention of 1S56 that nominated John C. Fremont. He became a resident of Indiana in lfel, five years after the admission of the State to the Union, and has been honorably identified with its progress in many ways. THE HUMORISTS.

Just as well get ready for it, for Griffith says he Is going to do it. Seymour Republican. There should not be very much legislation by the next General Assembly. As a rule there are too many laws passed that are worthless and unnecessary. This comes about from the fact that every member of the Legislature imagines that he will not be regarded as amounting to anything unless he succeeds in getting a bill enacted into a law. But the people are learning that that legislation is the most useful that prevents bills from being enacted into law. Columbus Republican. The Supreme Court of Rhode Island has recently handed down a most significant decision on the constitutionality of a tenhour law which will be farreachlng in its effect. The Legislature of Rhode Island passed a law restricting the working hours of employes of street-railway corporations to ten hours per day and making any contract to the contrary illegal. The Supreme Court has Just decided that this law is constitutional on the ground that It is for the public good, and in this opinion the court had only one dissenting vote. The majority declared that "the public safety cannot bo made dependent on private contracts." Evarsville Courier. JUVENILE COURT CASES. Boys Xot Flogged, bnt Lectured by Judge Stulibn. Judge Stubbs was confronted yesterday with several cases in Juvenile Court that brought out new phases in the education of children. Instead of having the boys flogged by their parents when found guilty the Judge yesterday gave each boy a severe lecture, pointing out the consequences of disobedience. He tried each case carefully, going into details as to the boy's home fcurroundlngs. Four boys from Bates street were arrested one day this week by Patrolman Fickle on complaint of Mr. Borlnstlne, a merchant on South Noble street. It was said that the place had been burglarized Thanksgiving night. The boys were suspected and later arrested. It was proved by their parents that on the night of the aileged robbery the four boys were at home. Suspicion was directed to them by the fact that they did not attend school. While they were found guiltless of the charge of burglary Judge Stubbs lectured the boys for not attending school. He also scored the parents for not keeping them In school. Cline Johnson. George Snead and James Warmack, three colored boys, were arraigned on the charge of disturbing the peace. The testimony against the boys was damaging. It was shown that they had been in the habit of insulting numerous girls and women In the vicinity of Thir teenth street and Senate avenue. Judge Stubbs fined each Doy jo and costs and al lowed them to go on suspended sentence because It was their first offense. MAYOR'S DECISION TO-DAY. He Hears the Final Testimony In the Cane of Anton Schmidt. Mayor Bookwalter heard the final testimony In the case of Anton Schmidt, a saloon keeper on Shelby street, whose license the mayor was asked to revoke by Superintendent Taffe because of an affray there last Sunday. Six policemen, who are now or havo been lately on the district in which the saloon is located, testified that it was a well-conducted place and never required ponce attention. When they were through Mayor Bookwaiter said that any affray taking place on Sunday in a saloon that was open in violation of law was a very serious violation of law. His finding, he said, would be filed with Controller Breunig to-day. It Is believed b will revoke tha license.

PROUD OF THEIR WORK

AX IMPETUS GIVEX TO CIiniSTIAX EXDEAVOIl EXTIIISIASM. Father Clark the Center of Interest lit All the Conferences of the Day. A DINNER IN THE EVENING HOW CHRISTIAX EXDEAVOIl WORK HAS SPREAD AI1HOAD. Speeches by Father Clark, William Shuvr, Rev. C. E. Eberman and Georjge D. Gruff. A fitting climax to a year of unusual ac tivity and progress In Christian Endeavor work was found last night in the world's union meeting at Memorial Presbyterian Church. Of the forty-five societies in Indianapolis all were represented and the church was filled. The world's union meeting had for its focal point thö Rev. Francis E. Clark. "Father Endeavor," who twentytwo years ago started the first Christian Endeavor society in the Willlston-street Church, Portland, Me. He is a robust man of fifty, virile and persuading and Just as full of enthusiasm as when he began to carry the organization like a great wave across the country. The burden of Father Clark and the oth ers in all their talks was the special effort during 1903 to increase ach society at least 10 per cent, and for financial assistance for the work abroad. This foreign work is not missionary work, but strictly, he said, within the lines of Christian Endeavor evangelism. The programme yesterday was a con stant one. Father Clark, accompanied by the Rev. C. E. Eberman, field secretary of the Christian Endeavor, William Shaw, treasurer, and George B. Graff, publication agent, reached Indianapolis at noon yesterday. A reception committee, headed by E. H. Clifford, met them and escorted them to the home of C. J. Buchanan, 1902 North Meridian street, where luncheon was served. An informal reception followed. At 2:30 the four officers of the national organization were taken to the Third Chris tian Church, where a series of conferences. presided over by Cary O. Lee, had been arranged. The conference of district secretaries, of whom there are nineteen in Indiana, found ten present to receive the Rev. Mr. Lberraans address. Father Clark talked to a conference of pastors, urging them to get into closer relationship with the young people and encourage their membership in local unions. Mr. Shaw talked to all on the subject of local union work and Mr. Graff on the literature that is needed to make the work -of the unions permanent, expansive and progressive. A DINNER SERVED. At 6:30 o'clock a dinner was served In honor of the visitors, the tables being arranged to represent the monogram "C. E.," which is the insignia of the order. Seventy guests were present, and after the dinner the four officials made short talks. Those participating were Rev. G. M. Anderson, Alphonso S. Beard, Rev. Albert J. Brown, Harold Brown, Mrs. J. E.

Mlnich, state secretary, was presented with a diamond C. E. pin, the gift of the state officers and district secretaries. An informal reception followed and the visitors met many of the leaders in the local field. MEMORIAL CHURCH FILLED. At 8 o'clock Memorial Church was filled with members of the society. The meeting was presided over by E. II. Clifford. The church was decorated with three large American flags back of the pulpit and four large streamers of red and white depend ing from the high chandelier in the middle of the church. The Rev. C. E. Eberman was the first speaker. He talked of "Christian Endeavor at Home. As American field secretary he had exceptional advantages to know the rapid growth of the work, which now numbers &I.U00 societies and over 4,000,000 members. The young people of the church were its strategic point in advancing its work. The growth of the endeavor -movement had made itself felt in all lines of church work and its expansion to foreign lands was testimony of its value. It was founded on the most satisfactory and conclusive biblical authority. He cited many texts. but found his most approved authority in the prophecy of Samuel: "God will take your godliest young men and put them to His work." He said he was an optimist and found no discouragement anywhere. Father Clark followed with a talk on the work abroad. He has Just returned from a nine months' tour of Europe. He said it needed neither eloquence nor rhetoric to tell the good news from abroad. In twenty countries of Europe which he visited there was the same ringing note of advance. In India, China and Japan It was the same "We are, ne cieciareu, on tne eve or a great advance. We are going to make this gain of one tenth in our membership during the next year, yes, more than onetenth. We arc to make an advance in mis sionary and evangelistic work and in Chris tian citizenship." THE DENVER CONVENTION. He spoke with enthusiasm of the Denver convention next July. He said he would procure forty-five banners from foreign countries and they would be presented to the local unions showing the greatest gains He expected Indiana to be high in this list. There is also to be a roll of honor that will be displayed on a banner in the convention hall and on this the names of all those societies which gain the 10 per cent. Increase will be named. There is also to be a state day at the convention, when each State may relate its achievements for God. Speaking of the work abroad he said Europe now had lO.OuO societies and more than 500,000 members. He epoke of the great meeting he attended in the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London (Spurgeon's church), where the representatives of the 7U0 Christian Endeavor societies of London assembled. While Chicago and Philadelphia, he said, were alternately wearing the laurel of the greatest number of societies, London had slipped in and outstripped them all. Over all Europe he found the pastors in terested in the work and the growth In the next year there promises to be phenomenal The particular work of the World's Union Is to provide secretaries to develop the work In conjunction with the missionary systems, to send out men who can teach the organization of these societies and tell how to make them capable of the greatest achievements. He reviewed In some detail the work abroad. When he organized his first so

ciety, he said, there- was a young Englishman In his society who wrote to his old

church, the High-street Church, in Crewe, England, and thus the first society In Lngand resulted. He thought the hand of God was In the work, because In no other way could it have spread over forty nations. Did God mean by it to build a barrier to war? Did He mean It to stand lor perpetual peace? He thought its character justified that reading. In conclusion, he said if it was ever found necessary to change the motto of the organization it should be made "Fidelity and Fellowship" fidelity to every element of Christian work and fellowship with all Christians. Father Clark was cheered when he ceased. TIIE TREASURER'S SIMILE. William Shaw, treasurer, said he came upon the programme like ice cream at a banquet. It seemed Inevitable that a treas urer always produced coldness. Yet. he said, no man had a right to pray "Thy kingdom come" who was willing to embezzle from God that portion that "should be given to aid the church. Mr. Shaw's whole talk was amusing and at the same time appealing. What . he wanted was pledges of financial assistance for the establishment of field secretaries abroad. He asked for testimonies. Responses did not come immediately, and he told a story of a preacher and a cow. The preacher conserved his supply of milk by taking only one quart a day. The cow went dry. Mr. Shaw said the way to do was to take all the milk you get. Thereupon a member of the Villa-avenue Church, established last June, pledged $5 for the society of that church. After that pledges of from $2 (from individuals) up to $15 were showered upon the treasurer, who turned into strawberry ice cream with enthusiasm. Several hundred dollars was raised. ' The national officers left for St. Louis last night. From there they will go to Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis to attend similar meetings. BAD OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT HESSIAN FLY, DREADED BY FARM ERS, HIRTIN; TIIE CHOP. State Entomologist Troop Receiving; Gloomy Reports from Many Connties The San Jose Scale. Indiana's wheat crop for next year will not be anything to brag about, according to Prof. James Troop, of Purdue University, state entomologist. The dreaded pest of the farm lands, the Hessian fly, is already getting In its work, and from reports received by Frofessor Troop from a majority of the counties the outlook is very gloomy. Professor Troop, with his assistant, J. Clyde Marquiss, a student of entomology in Purdue University, has made inspections of scale infected districts and says that twenty-four counties are troubled with the pest of San Jose scale. Of these .Marion, Switzerland, Washington and Vanderburg are seriously affected. The city of Indianapolis, he says, is the worst of all. The source of Infestation is unknown to the state entomologist except that some of the trees were bought from a traveling agent representing some foreign nursery. In Indianapolis alone 2,000 places were visited during the past year and more than 1.000 trees and wnrubs ordered burned. Many trees were sprayed with good effect. Bad conditions exist also near Evansvllle, where the situation became serious before the scale was discovered. Over fifty orchards and city lots were found to be infected. Professor Troop gives the startling bit of information that a single scale may become the progenitor of 3,000,000,000 individuals before the season is ended, which gives an Idea of the troubles of a farmer. The state entomologist devotes considerable space In his report to the seventeenyear cicada, popularly known as the seventeen-year locust. There was considerable excitement over the appearance of the insect. Professor Troop says, but the amc of real damage was comparatively large. One-fourth of 1 per cent, of trees in nurseries was all that was permanently Injured. The appropriation for the department of entomology for the year was $'J9S.75, and it was found necessary to use all the amount in prosecuting investigations. AT THE KATHERINE HOME.

She took an empty bottle from her home and went to a saloon on Virginia avenue, where she asked for chloroform.

Mrs. Jessie llartlett Davla Recovered Cash and Valuable Jewels. Mrs. Jessie Bartlett Davis, who sang at Fair Bank last summer, had an experience in Chicago the other day that has caused her to have a little better opinion of the world In general and to feel sure that .he word honesty has come meaning outside of the dictionary. With her sister, Mrs. Max Quackenboss, Mrs. Davis went driving last Thursday. She had her Jewels with her in a little chamois bag attached to her wrist by a spider-web chain. At Langley avenue and Oakenwald boulevard, probably because of the opening of the carriage door, the Jewel bag became detached from the slender chain and fell to the street. At almost exactly the same moment another carriage was passing which contained three womtn. One of them dropped a bouquet of Mowers. The driver of Mrs. Davis's carriage gallantly sprang off his seat, picked up the bouquet and handed it to one of the unknown women. He happened to turn his head afterward and he saw the women alight from their carriage and go into a near-by church. Then Mrs. Davis missed her 110,000 worth of Jewels and $O0 In cash. A fruitless search was made and then an advertisement was placed In a newspaper. It was read by the driver, who remembered the women who had gone into the church. Inquiry at the church developed the fact that the unknown women had handed the chamois bag to the pastor, telling him at the same time to make an announcement of the fact. Mrs. Davis had gone to Lafayette in the meantime, and a telegram Informing her of her good luck reached her there. NEW BANK AT ENGLISH. Crawford County State Dank Incorporated with f23,000 Capital.
