Cole’s house, here Saturday night, five men jumped onto Frank Fuller and nearly beat him to death. He finally got away from them and took refuge in Tom Lattic’d house. They gave chase and when told by Mrs. Lattie that Fuller was not in There they drew a large butcher knife and threatened to kill her. In the meantime Geo. Cole had cut tbe screen in the window, and had got Fuller out, and was taking him home, when he was again set upon. He then drew a gun and shot Frank- Lattie in the right arm, and Walter Lattie in the right eye only causing a flesh wound. Frank Lattie will have to have his arm taken off. It is the result of an old grudge, caused by boxing halt sometime ago. Walter and Frank Fuller drove to Crown Point that <3s night.

The sheriff came down early Sunday morning and took the Latties and Preston to Crown Point where they were lodged in Jail. Young Fuller was released .

TREATMENT OF CORN SMUT. Purdue University Agricultural Ex- , periment Station. Newspaper Bulletin, No. 16, N0v,22 1895. b , The smut in corn differs in several important particulars from the common smut of the smaller cereals, wheat, oats, rye and barley. In no respect is the difference more marked than in its mode of attacking the plant, and in this fact lie valuable hints to the cultivator. It has been assumed that because the smut of wheat and oats can be prevented by immersing-the seed in hot water or a solution of some fungicide, the same method is applicable to corn. But it is not true, and for the reason that the method by which the corn smut attacks the plant is very unlike that of most of the other cereal smuts.

Two things can be done to decrease smut in corn. The growing crop can be sprayed with n suitable fungicide and the entrance of the smut into the plant prevented. That this can be made effective is shown by experiments at the Indiana station. But it is an expensive and troublesome method. The other, more convenient but less thorough, TSielhod, is to gather and destroy the smut, and thus eventually rid tlife | liieldß of it. ! It is evident from this that neither the time of planting nor the previous condition or treatment of the seed will have any effecj, upon the amount of smut in the crop; and experiments already carried out substantiate this deduction. It is equally evident that meteorological conditions will have decided influence. But the farmer cannot control the weather. It has been found out at the Indiana Experimental Station that, the smut does not attack the plant through the seed, but like wheat rust it starts in the leaves and stems, wherever the spores are carried by the wind and find lodgment and suf ficient moisture to enable them to germinate. The spores will grow as soon as ripe, that is as soon as the masd containing them turns back, and they will al#o retain their vitality for a year or two in caae conditions for growth are not favorable. 7 "The best time to gather the smut is just before the ears silk, ,*Yhen the fieldfShoald Y>e gone through and every signs of smut removed, being careful not to scatter it upotf' the ground, or in any way }et the spores get fiee. The. ust be burned or deeply buried, to certainly

destroy the smut.. One ©i more later gathering should be made. This may be called clean culture, and if persisted in for s few years would reduce the annual production of smut to an inconspicuous and harmless amount. J. C. ARTHUR, , Botanist.

E. B. Baldwin, the Arctic explorer, delivered Ins lecture, -The Search for the North Pole,” al the opera bouse Monday evening, under the auspices of the Ron-seiner Igse'iire Club. He had a very Irv-ge audience, considering the unfavorable?weather, for heirtdertrtiWßdYTpmpleie ai'end-tm p of regular ti ke -4*u>!<lo s, nearly 100 Othe s wore o • -cm'. -nchurrng about SO pupils f out the town schools. Mr, Baldwin was n memos one of Lieutenant: Peary ’s .famous a peditions, and wiiat fie lias to to lis his actual expenenee, and not what he has joa nod " «»tu o'nW-s. —This, together with his large collection of relics and specimens, makes his lecture of absorbing 'interestas well as of great educational value. And what a region it is that he deserdies, for civilized men to venture into arid remain for months and years! If during the 9 or Hi. months of winter the thermometer i ises to zero, it is a very plessant day. Forty to sixty below is a common figure, and these low tempera;u cs are often accompanied for dais together by a wind of 40 or 50 mlh san hour. Making weather that no human being could TTve TiV for”gTTbninuUlp FT clothed

The months of sunless nighl; the agOßi/.iog -Vacrt ic'erampi;** which can only lie relieved by pounding the victim black and blue, all these and more are some of the conditions ever present in these regions. But more intolerable than anything else, is the plague of verm in. The next time the explorers will have all their fur garments made in this country, and by keeping as much as possible away from the natives, try to avoid this torment. Mr. Baldwin firmly believes that with his present knowledge of what is required; and of the “lay of the land” that he can lead an expedition clear to the pole; arid the object of his lectures is to raise the means to equip such an expedition, to leave in 1897.
