To DESTROY THE CABBAGE WORM.A
The complaint still continues of the ravat
ges of the cabbage worm and a demand
fora remedy for it. In an agricultural
journal, a few weeks ago, "a correspondents
told of his troubles last year, and that they
were already beginning this season, and
asked for some way to dislodge the worm.
Several knowing persons responded, and in
looking over their remedies, we did not re-
gard one of them as furnishing what was
needed. But we can tell the enquirer and
all others what is remedy for the cabbage
worm, which is within every ones reach,
if it is properly applied. 1t is simply to
sprinkle over the parts of the cabbage
plant. where the worm usually operates;
pinch of cayenne or red pepper. Nothing
more or less. Keep few ounces on hand
and use it when needed, but use it careful
ly SO as to reach the insect, and it will
promptly dislodge it. @

Destructive Fire.

At one o'clock Thursday morning
tho residence of Mr.. james Marvin
was entirely consumed, together
with the furniture. Mr.. Marvin
was ut Garden City, and Mrs. Marvin
had packed I'LL the furniture prepara'
tory TO going to Chicago, and had
rented the house TO Mr.. \. l.. Rouse.
Workman had been vanishing the
house and making it ready for the
now occupants, and had built II fire
in the plrlor stove to burn up ~ few
old papers, and the superstition is
that tho fire caught from II crack in
the chimney, which had not been
used since the heavy gale last June.
Mrs. Marvin stayed ut Mrs. Mead S
last evening, or in I'LL probability she
would have been burned.
The insurance on the furniture is
$500, and on the house $500. Mr..
Marvin came home this morning
from Garden City and looked nj the
smoking ruins.

Meeting at the Garfield and Arthur Club,

Last Friday evening, the regular
meeting of the Garfield and Arthur clul
of this city, met nj their rooms over
McConncll's store. The room was
crowded with interested spectators who
anticipated the great speech Of Capt
Burger, and the maiden effort of Mr.
Inn. Hall .Ir.
The meeting was called 10 order by
the president, DIR. Davis, who introduced
Capt, Burger.
The Capt. said he had been so pressed
with business that he found it impossi-
bile 10 prepare himself, hut would make
few OIL hand remarks. lie allayed
the fears of any democrats who might
have been stored behind the doors or
pccping through the windows, by pre-,
facing his remarks with the wise injunc,
ton that lac didn't intend 10 shake the
"bloody Shirt" if the democrats of the
south would dcsist from their efforts of
trying 10 prohibit the free expression OF
speech.
The Capt. knew Garfield personally,
and was convcrsant with all his well
known personal, exemplary traits, and
commended him To the consideration of
the free thinking and intelligent voters
of the country. lie dcrided the idea of
giving Hancock any great praise outside
his record ~ IA brave and true soldier
ana thought the success OF the army
was due Ia the management and bravery
of Others Us well as Hancock.
The Capt. intimatcd that the demo
cratic club at their meetings, secured
the services of such eminent orators It's
Wiswcll, Buck and Severance to howl
about credit moblicr and fraud, but
that is about all il amounted 10.
If the Capt. had not been sort of
handicapped 10y having his aspirations
of being II member OF the next legisla-
tnrc from tins county looming before
him, lac would have felt more free in
throwing hot shot against the fortiiica-
tions of the enemy, but he said enough
Ia permanently establish the fact that
lac was true Republican.
Jno. y. Hall, Jr., was next called for
10 make his maiden, political speech.
Mr.. Hall is representative of the
young men who are growing up to day,
and who are beginning TO assume the
rcins of all branches of industry, in
Guiding politics. He is ready, witty
and pleasing speaker, and by his hum
orOus comparisons Of the democratic
party TO all that is absolctc, dead and
forgotten, kept the audience in con-
slant roar of laughter. Mr.. Hall
produced a good impression, ana evil
IDENTITY created considerable enthusiasm
among the younger men Ia emulate his
example. The club cndeavOrcd To offer
resolution prohibiting the using of
its money toward deiraying the expenses
