As fly time is approaching here is a prescription for getting rid of the pests, which may be of interest to some of our readers. A half tcaspoonful of brown pepper, finely ground, mixed with double the quantity of brown sugar, the mixture to be moistened with cream. The flies will generally eat greedily if where they can easily reach it, but it will be their last meal, for the least bit of it to a fly is rank poison. If watched they will often be seen to drop dead within a foot of the place they have just left, and some of the heartiest eaters do not leave the place. Ex.

The onion fields of northern Indiana never looked in better condition than they do now. Many thousands of bushels will be harvested this fall in Kosciusko county alone and the adjoining counties will contribute record crops, more sets and seeds having been planted during the spring than ever before. The plants are growing rapidly. There are more than 1,000 acres under cultivation in one patch in the northwest part of Kosciusko county and the sc uthwest part of Elkhart countv. Hundreds of men, women and children are now engaged in cultivating. . A moderate estimate of the average yield would be 400 bushels to the acre. This would mean 400,000 from the 1,000 acres alone. There are several hundred acres, how ever which give promise of running not less than 600 bushels to the acre.

COUNTY GAINS IN PAST YEAR BOARD OF REVIEW COMPLETES WORK CITIES AND TOWNS GAIN WHILE TOWNSHIPS SHOW LOSS. The work of the County Board of Review, which has been in session during the month of June, equalizing the assessments made by tax assessors, has finally been completed. As a whole Marshall county shows a net gain of $25,jOOO in personal property, over last year. In every township except Center and Green there was a loss over last year. In spite of the fact that the appraisements of Walnut township were raised 20 per cent, Bourbon rabed 16 2-3. per cent., Polk raised 1G 2-3 per cent. Tippecanoe raised 10 per cent, and North raised 10 per cent.these townships still showed a loss as follows: Walnut loss $12000, Bourbon township loss $2000, Polk loss) $3000, ffippecanoe loss $9000, and North a loss of $12000. The comparison of all townships present valuation with that of last year is as follows : Union loss $2000, Center gain $5000, Green-remained about same, Bourbon loss $2000, Tippecanoe loss $9000, German loss $14,000, North loss $12,000, Polk loss $3000, West loss $5000, Walnut loss $12000. Total loss in townships $54,000. In the city and towns however, a great gain is noted, which ex ceeds the losses in the townships and puts the county on the gain. The list is as follows : Plymouth city gain $G,000, Bourbon town gain $39,000, Argos town gain $30,000, Culver town gain $10,000, Lapaz loss $8,000. Total gain in city and towns $79,000. Total net gain in Marshall county $25,000. The most phenominal growth in the list of personal properties is Bourbon first, with Argos a close second. The growth in both of the above towns beats the county seat over G to 1. The whole story is told in the roninlete table which appears in this paper, it being the only complete table published in the county. HICKS PREDICTS JULY DROUGHT St. Louis Weather Prophet Thinks Grain Will Suffer from Lack of Rain. Hicks, the St. Louis weather prophet, predicts that a, drought will prevail over the land during July; but he hangs on a proviso ami says that the infernally hot wave will not come until the last week in the month. By that time wheat and hay will be cut and corn and oats will be so far advanced that the heat will not seriously affect the crop, even if Hick's no-rain proposition works out. He says : "July's first week will be a period of great magnetic and electrical unrest, with a 'reactionary storm period,' central between the 4 tli and Gth of the month. The storm period will be near the 5th or 6th of the month, and the crisis of electric citation will fall on the 6th. Then will come a period of coolness, followed by a regular storm period from the 9th to the 13th of the month. "A reactionary storm period will become central on the 16th and 17th of the month, with much warmer weather and scattering, light rains. The regular storm period will be between the 19th and 21th, with threatening storm clouds and windstorms between the 21st and 24th. The grain belts, while they may have ugly storm clouds, thunder and high winds, will most likely suffer a shortage in rainfall. "From the 24th to the 27th the weather is to become cooler and more pleasant, but a reactionary storm period is to set in by the 27th, becoming central within 3 days thereafter. "One of the most intense hot waves of the summer will occur, culminating about the' 28th, if the change to cooler does not p pear generally between the 24th and 27th." Fishing Trip Ended in Death. . Newton Jacobs, livincr north of Warsaw, while on his way to J ippecanoe lake on a fishing expedition, stopped at Lecsburg and purchased cheese, crackers, bologna and coco'anuts, which he ate. Shortly after returning home he was seized with ptomaine poison, and died, three physicians being unable to save his life.

Ihe police raided his room and found a quantity of whisky and beer in bottles. The court ruled that the rmrchasinc of intoxicating liquors for the purpose of bridging" over a "dry" period, the purchasers themselves consuming the liquor, is not a violation of the Indiana liquor laws. Mitchell's defense was that the liquor was purchased on a Saturday night for the use of himself and friends on Sunday. The state was unable to present evidence showing the liquor was sold.

Review.

MORE MONEY FOR TEACHERS ALTHOUGH ENUMERATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN SHOWS DECREASE APPORTIONMENT HAS INCREASED TO $1,624,099.80 School teachers of Indiana will be interested in knowing that $1,624,099.80 is coming their way soon, this being the semi-annual or June opportionment of common school revenue for tuition purposes, iust made bv Fassett A. Cotton, State Superintendent ot rublic Instruction. It will be of interest, also, to know that this is considerably more than was' sent out from the State treasury last June for such purposes, the amount a year ago being $1,339,568.68. The increase is due to the new educational laws, also to the increase in the value of taxable property. Ine last Legislature passed laws designed to increase the salaries, of teachers. It was necessary therefore, to pass laws to get the money to pay the teachers, so the state tax levy for school purposes was raised from 11 1-2 cents on the $100 to 13 1-2 cents. The distribution this rear is based on an enumeration of 65,790 school children. The distribution last year was based on an enumeration of 778,819. Although the difference between the two enumerations is only slight the increase in the tax levy and value of taxables raises the per capita distribution from $1.72 last June to $2.12 for the present apportionment. : - The apportionment sheets just issued by Mr. Cotton show the enumeration of school children, the school revenue collected in the Ndifferent counties,the sources from which it was derived, the amount ready for distribution and the sum which will jjo to each county. Most of the revenue was derived as usual from the State tax, the remainder coming fron: Interest on the common school fund. The total amount collected fro::i the counties was $1,592,955.VI. The amount remaining in the State treasury from the list distribution was $36,939.01, which added to the amount collected gives $1,629,894.88, the total amount on hand and ready for distribution. The total amount apportioned is $1,624,099.80, leaving $5,795.08 in the State treasury, which may be applied to the next distribution Usually there is a small sum left in the State treasury. If the per capita apportionment were raised one cent there would not be sufficient funds on hand to make the distribution. With' the apportionment at $2.12. however. the balance of $5,795.08 remains. Fractions f one cent are never allowed to figure in the apportionment. There will be a slight difference in most of the counties between the amourrt apportioned as based on the actual enumeration and the amount which the counties will get. This is due to the transfer of children. If more children are transferred to the schools of a county than are transferred from its schools, it will have a corresponding increase in its apapportionment and vice versa. The increase or decrease from this cause is not heavy though in any county. The amount on hand and apportioned will be distributed to the counties at once. The table of this and a few nearby counties is as follows: Number of children between 6 and 21 years of age, Marshall 7,1G2, Kosciusko 8,054, LaPorte 1G.002, St. Joseph 20,G32, Fulton 5,051, Starke 3,544. Total collect, ed and ready for apportionment Marshall $15,101.58, Kosciusko $19,693.87, LaPorte $25,782.29, St Joseph $40,977.49, Fulton $11,009.85, Starke $6,508.02. Total amount to be distributed Marshall $15,993.15, Kosciusko $16,820.21, LaPorte $34,087.01, St. Joseph $13,9G0,12, Fulton $10,911.39, Starke $7,502.46. , How's This?

AUER U. S. CAVALRY RUSHED TO MEXICAN BORDER. Federal Government Determined that no Aid Shall be Given to Revolutionists. Two troops of cavalry were rushed Tuesday . by Brigadier Gerk iA. L. Myers, commanding the department of Texas ' with headquarters at San Antonio, to Del Rio, Texas, to preserve the neutrality laws between this country and Mexico and to prevent aid or assistance being furnished by citizens of the United States to the Mexican revolutionists. The troops were dispatched from Fort Clarke. Two other troops will be sent to Del Rio from the maneuver camp at Leon Springs, Texas. Gen. Myers' promptness in acting pleases the war department. Del Rio is a general center from which troops may be able to render the greatest amount of assistance. The information of the official at Washington is that the main operations of ' the revolutionists are centered in the state of Coahuila, which borders Texas at; Del Rio. Gen. Myers has been given a icasouablv free hand in the matter and will consult freely with the civil authorities of the national-government as to the requirements at various places along the border in the way of troops, and at any place where there is an apparent necessity for them he will dispatch them at once. Mexico and the United States have an agreement whereby the troojs of either country may cross the boundry in pursuit of hostile Indians which may serve as ,a basis for any steps that might be taken in assisting Mexico to capture the revolutionists. With troops in readiness on boh sides of the international border the developments in the insurrectionary situation in northern Mexico are watched with the closest interest from Washington. The official machinery of this government is cooperating to the fullest extent with the Diaz government. The state de partment, the war department and the department of justice arc working together In a com mon movement for the preserva tion of neutrality within the United States domain. Why Guest was Embarrassed. A North Side man, who was invited out to dinner the other day, was not able to figure out for a while whether he was welcome or not after he arrived at the house.
