WeeVil in Peas.

Question. the Journal give me rem
edy for the weevi that infests dry peas? Two
years ago we raised Carter's and black-eves,
but they were so filed with the bugs that
they were perfectly worthless for the table
Last year we procured some nice fresh
Champion seed and planted them. There
appeared to be just few bugs in those
raised. picked the peas over and got out
every one with hole in it. then put them
to soak in good quantity Of water. and let
them stand a few hours. after which found
the surface was covered with good, fair look.
ing peas. | cut some of them open and
found every one that had risen, contained a
bug. / skinned off every one that would
rise, and put them on to cook slowly Soon
the water was covered with peas. which, on
being cut open, were found to contain many
more bugs. took the peas and threw them
out TO the hens, saying Good bye, peas. good
bye, buss, you are too many for me. II.
Answer.-To destroy the weevils. place
the peas in bulk in very tight bin and
set in the same bin six saucers of bisul-
phide of carbon, which. volatilizing, will
penetrate every crack and Granny, and ef-
iectually kill the bugs. At the same time
no harm is done TO the peas. and after
being aired they can be used without
fear. An ounce of the bisulphide will suf-
flee for ton. Buggy peas should on no
account be planted. for the product will
almost invariably be infested.

RIGHTS OF SHIPPERS,

We publish this morning an elaborate de-
cision of Gen. James 81. Baker, railroad COM
missioner relative to the shipment of wheat.
The point in nutshell is whether railroads
can be compelled to accept grain for shipment
from any one who may choose to deliver it to
them and in any quantities, regardless of
whether 1t comes from wagon or elevator.
The railroad company sought to determine
the capacity of elevators from which they
would accept shipments, and the Commits
sioner decides that, as common carriers, they
cannot make such distinction, but must take
it from small warehousemen, or even from
the farmers wagon. Gen. Baker fortifes his
position with numerous authorities, showing
careful research, and makes clear case.
There can be no doubt of the soundness of
the decision. Gen. Baker strikes the key
note when he says that very few will desire
to exercise the privilege. The fact that the
small dealer or even the farmer can ship
his crop to market is regulator and
tends to prevent the buyers from arbitrarily
reducing prices.
There is little doubt that the railroad COM
pany will recognize the soundness OF the
opinion, and comply with it. 1t is evident
that no further legislation is needed to
remedy matters, and it would not be coed
policy for the railroads to have another
granger controversy. This will probably be
the opinion held in railroad circles aud we az
prehend no further attempts to limit ship
ment after this decision reaches the public.

Two Inquests.

Yesterday morning Coroner Davenport held
two inquests. The first one was on the re-
mains of W. S. Taylor of Cleveland, Ohio,
an account of whose death on Sunday morn
ing at the European hotel, was published sew
eral days ago in the GLOBE. The doctors
who analysed the stomach could find no
poison. They testified that there was blood
and water in the lungs and brain with some
indications OF congestion. Other witnesses
were examined but nothing new was brought
out, and the verdict of the jury was that the
deceased came to his death from natural
causes. The remains were sent east last night
to the relatives of the man.
The second inquest was held on the body of
the woman found in the river Tuesday, the
particulars of which have already been given.
The remains proved to be those of Miss Ida
Gustafson, of Minneapolis. Her brother came
here and identified her as his sister. She was
twentyfou years of age, and came to America
at the request of Emil, her brother, who sent
her money to come with. So far az is known
she was of cheerful disposition, and had no
trouble calculated to cause her to commit sui
eide. She left her place in Minneapolis last
Thursday evening, and has not been seen alive
since. The next morning handkerchief and
a quantity of matches were found on the river
bank that were known to have been placed
there by her. The verdict was that she came
to her death by drinking solution of sulphur
and water and jumping into the river.

THE Pioneer Press comes to Washburn's
rescue with an interview, in which he en-
deavors to relieve himself of the odium Of
supporting Knute Nelson. Editorially the
paper assumes that William denies that
he has Senatorial aspirations, but when we
come to read the interview we find this:
"He said the silly statement that he was a
candidate for the Senate did not need contra
dction."
That is lodging the issue. Those who
imagine that Washburn is not aiding Knute
Nelson with view of reciprocity upon the
Senatorial question will find themselves very
much mistaken.

Biographical.
REV. DAVID BROOKS.


Rev. David Brooks, commonly called
"Uncle Davy," is probably the very Oldest
member of the Minnesota conference, having
attained his eightieth year of age. He was
born in England in 1902, and in early man.
hood united with the Wesleyan Methodist
church. At thirty years of age he commenced
preaching, and in 1912, immigratlng to the
United States, was admitted into the Rock
River conference. When, in 1913, the Wis
consin conference was formed, Mr.. Brooks fell
within its bounds. During the past forty
years he has rendered effective service in many
important positions: He had charge OF the
Minnesota district thirty years ago,
which embraced part of Wisconsin
and all the territory. He also
had charge of Superior district, vast AID
bowling wilderness, and in later years was ap-
pointed to Sank Centre and Minneapolis dis
tricts. Mr.. Brooks now sustains a superan-
uated relation to the conference and enjoys
the respect and love of all who know him.
Mr.. Brooks has been preacher of more than
ordinary ability and at times remarkable re-
suits attended his preaching. He resides in
the city of Minneapolis.
