DEATH OF PHILANDER JUDSON.

A copy of the Globe of June Sd, pub
lished at Omaha, Iowa, contains an ex
tended obituary notice of Philandel
Judson, one of the early residents of the
town Of Bristol, in this county. During
a residence of about thirty-seven years
In this county he was as generally known
as any other citizen and highly respected
We copy so much Of the notice of his
death from the Globe as will be of es-
peclal interest to his many friends in
this county
MIR. Philander Judson, one of the old
est and most respected citizens of Coun-
Cal Bluffs, died on Saturday night at his
home on Sixth avenue. Mr.. Judson
was born at Brookfeld, Connecticut, in
IoO2, and consequently, was about
eighty-three years of age at the time of
his death. He removed to Wisconsin in
1888, long before it became state, and
was, therefore, one of the early pioneers
or that young commonwealth. His
home was in Wisconsin, where he OBJ
tanned competence, until eleven years
ago, when he came to Council Bluffs,
then the home of his only son, L. P.
u udson, for many years city engineer.
The old gentleman made comfortable
nome for himself on Sixth Avenue, half
a block from the residence of his son
and family, where he and his estimable
consort were spending their declining
years IL ease and quietness. The aged
widow survives him.

A new and yery destructive enemy

Anew and very destructive enemy of
the corn crop has made its appearance
in Illinois. 1t destroys the plant at the
root. Professor Forbes, the state ento-
mologist, says he has lately examined a
field of one hundred acres of corn COM
pletely destroyed by it, SO that it is now
being replanted. Col. Mills, Secretary
of the State Board OF Agriculture, states
that the farmers throughout the Illinois
corn belt have experienced much trou-
BILE this year in obtaining growth of
the seed, and that many have been
obliged to replant their whole area, in
some instances twice and even three
times. This has been attributed to the
backward season and the lack of grow
ing weather. but he fears that this worm
has been more exclusively the cause, and
sees great reason for apprehension on
the part of the corn growers of serious
danger to their crops. Professor Forbes
says in his circular concerning this new
insect
"Much additional information is silt
to be desired, and I report here the facts
already made out, in the hope that
other observers may be induced to assist
in the completion of the life-history OF
| the species, and may help to a fuller
knowledge of It's origin and its injury to
vegetation. Although working some
what like the cutworms, it belongs to
another family of moths, and may easily
be distinguished from these pests by its
habits, and the character of its injuries

be found just beneath the surface of the

AN IMPROVED MANGER OR
RACK.

Mr.. r. F. Roberts, of Woodwork, has
invented an improved manger or feed
rack for horse stables. The plan was
engraved and published in the Prairie
Farmer, Chicago, of February IA, 1886,
and was again published in its issue of
May %, for the benefit of later subscrib-
ers. The peculiar feature of the manger
is, it is outside ofthe stall. The front end
of the stall is perpendicular wall or par
tition. The lower three to four feet is
formed of upright pickets, with sufficient
spaces, so that the horse can get bite
of hay between them. The rack or
Manager may be any desired width, with
sloping bottom, SO that the hay may in
cline to the pickets. 1t may be built of
the hight of an ordinary manager or any
hight desired, to be easily filled with hay
from the feeding alley or loft above. The
best plan for feeding oats is a shallow
trough on the floor close to the rack.
The horse then feeds in the same natural
position as when grazing, and the trough
being close to the end wall is entirely
out of the way of the horses feet. A
convenient way is to have a very narrow
door, just sufficient for man to pass
through, in the front wall of stall, so that
one can easily pass from the stall into
the feeding alley In front. In practice,
a narrow opening is sufficient witheat
a door, as horse, evenif losse, will never
attempt to pass through. The advan-
tages Of this improved manger are The
horse cannot throw the hay out or nose
it about. He does not breathe on it ex-
cept when eating. In the old style of
manager the horse stands over it while
feeding, and to lie down must back up
and lie on his droppings. With this
manager the horse stands farther back in
the stall when eating, and always has a
clean bed to lie on. The horses head
is never in the way when putting hay in
the manger, and it is impossible to get
: hay seeds In the foretop or name when
the manager is filed or the horse is feed
ing. This method is equally practical
and convenient where the rack is filled
from loft above the horses. The issue
ofthe Prairis Farmer, May %, containing
an engraving of the horse stall ard man
ger, can be had of any newsdealer. This
invention is not patented, and is free fol
the use of the public.

SAD ACCIDENT.

A very sad accident occurred here on
Wednesday morning, by which Mrs. John
Surges and her daughter Susan lost their
lives. From what can be learned, it ap-
pears the daughter, who was about thir-
teen years of age, went to Pike creek,
which is near her home, to gather drift
wood and got into boat which was in
the creek. The current was very strong
at the time and carried the boat towards
the mouth of the creek. The child, see
ing that she was being carried towards
the lake, screamed and begged her
mother to save her. The mother waded
out, caught the boat, pulled the end of
it, and grasped her child, but the current
was SO strong it carried both into the
lake. Two men who were approaching
the creek saw the accident, but they
were unable to render the unfortunate
woman and child any assistance. The
bodies were recovered few hours aftel
by the life-saving crew. Mr.. Surges ant
his family have the sympathy of all ou
citizens in their sad bereavement.

THE COURT HOUSE QUESTION

| Mr.. Simmons proposition is to build q
city hall and court house combined
! The city hall would embrace council
room, city treasurer's Office, city clerks
ONCE, safe vault, and a private or con-
sultlng room. These rooms would be
IN constant use. A courtroom would be
used q few days not more than three
umes year. Racine has just complet-
ed city hall at a cost of S43, 600.
henosha cannot build a city hall that
would be credit to her for less than
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. Now
suppose that Kenosha should 60 on and
build her city hall, she can construct
building Of much finer ARCHITECTURAL an
pearance by adding to it a court room,
as a second or superior story. The
building will gain in hight, and will bear
more ornamentation. The county could
pay yearly rental 70 the city for the
use of the court room. The CITY would
then have sole ownership and control of
the building, and could rent the court
room for lectures and other public pur-
poses. The county has but little use for
a court room, and the need is growing
less. Itwould be economy for the corn,
ty to rent now instead of building. But
there is Immediate need for a substan-
tial jail, with sheriff's quarters. To re-
ciprocate the courtesy of the city in pro-
vlding court room for the county, the
county, in constructing their jail, can
add a city lookup, and the city pay a |
yearly rental fol. its use. There is a GOOD |
deal of ill-will and jealousy between the
country towns and the city, and not with
out reasons in past time. Let the city
see that in the building of CITY hail
and court room nothing be done to add
to the i'll feeling. The city is well able
to do its full share. A generous policy
on the part of the city might do some.
thing to remove the i'll feeling that, I'm
fortunately, at present does exist. The
best of feeling ought to exist between
city and country, and perhaps there are |
no present reasons for any i'll feeling.
But it would only be the part of wisdom
70 remove what does exist ifgood oppor-
tunity offers.

OBITUARY.
KEHLoR.

Died, in this city, on Monday, June 1
Mr.. j. G. M. Kehlor, of the firm of Mil.
ton H. Petit & Company, aged 46
years. Mr.. Kehlor was born in Glas.
Cow, Scotland, and came to this country
when he was II years old. He came to
Kenosha to reside in 1874. He leaves a
wife, one daughter and four sons. Mr..
Kehlor sustained the reputation of being
a good business man, and highly success
full in his operations. Besides his bust
ness matters in this city, he has large
interests in st. Louis. He leaves a prop
erty variously estimated at from $150, 900
to 100000.
The funeral on W ednesday at St. Mat
thew's church was very largely attended,
the church being filled to overlooking.
The floral display was exceedingly beau
tiful and most tastefully arranged, es-
peciallv about the altar, and the wreath
which surmounted the coffin was very
elegant. The church was filled with
sympathetic friends. The music was ap-
propriate, the beautiful church shed its
dim religious light upon the audience,
and all the air seemed "a solemn still
ness to hold" The pyramid of flowers
with the white dove in the position of
flying from the apex was beautiful in ar
rangement and design. The services
were very impressive, and few there
were who did not shed the silent tear.
The appreciation of Mr.. Kehlor's worth
In his lifetime was very forcibly expert
enced on the occasion of his funeral
TRUEsDELL.
Mr.. Amos Truesdell, who moved from
the town of Benton, ILL.,, to Fremont,
Neb., last fall, died there last week.
His remains were inferred in Ridge
cemetery, and were followed to the
grave by large number of friends, who
extended their sympathy to the family
in its grief.
Amos Truesdell was born in Warsaw,
New York, on November 80, 1918. He
was the fourth in family of six chill
dren. He lived at Warsaw until IS
years Of age, when he went to Portage,
New York, and engaged in business.
Here he met Rhoda Mills, who on the
18th day of October, 1885, became his
wife, and who has been his faithful
companion up to the day of his death,
and had he lived until the 18th of next
October they would have celebrated
fifty years of welded life. After about
twenty-three years residence at Portage
he moved his family to Kenosha, Wis,
where he lived for several years, and
went to Lake Co., ILL.,, from which place
they moved to Fremont in the fall Of 81.
Their union was blessed with three sons
and two daughters, four of which sur
vive him. There were present the two
sons, Arthur and Fayette, of Rogers
Park, ILL.,, and one daughter, Mrs. Nellie
Sherwood, of Chicago, accompanied by
her son Fred, and Augustus Truesdell,
nephew of the deceased, from Keno.
sha, Wis. Mrs. Truesdell is 6S years OF
age, and very hearty and strong.
The deceased was not @ member OF
any church organization, but was con-
sistent christian and believer in the
religion of Jesus Christ, and thoroughly
lived it in his life. He was man Of
strong, positive character, who never
compromised with evil. His life was
one of straightforward integrity, full Of
christian example, and he died triumph
ant in the religion he believed in.

gnawed irregularly beneath the earth
sometimes wholly severed, as by cut
worm, but more commonly scarified Oh
bored lengthwise, either specifically Oh
through the center Of the stalk. From
one to eight or ten larvae may be found
IN a single hill. The species was seen by
US last year from various localities in
Henry, Mclean, Macon and Livingston
counties, and doubtless occurs every.
where throughout Illinois. There was
no evidence that the previous history of
the land had anything to do with the
prevalence of the insect. Whether a
second brood occurs or not is wholly I'M
certain, and to this point special atten-
ton is asked of those that work in the
oorn-field throughout the summer. In
formation tending to show that the larva
feeds on any other plant than corn will
also be especially useful and welcome.
The injuries inflicted occur so early as co
permit replanting in most seasons, in
case they should be of serious import,
and this species is consequently to be
classed with cut-worms, so far as the
effect of its injuries to corn is concerned.
Minute mites, which attacked the pupe
in our breeding cages, and were apparent
ly responsible for the loss ofnearly all the
Larvae We attempted to rear, probably
also attack the worm in the field. Be
sides this, l determined by dissection that
certain predaceous beetles, especially
abundant in fields infected by the web
worms, had also been feeding l1nnn them
Futher than this, we have no knowledge
Of natural checks on the increase of the
species"
Professor Forbes gives also a scientific
description of the pest in the various
stages of development, and gives it the
echnical name CransbLs Zechts femald. |
The worm is pronounced new to corn
armers of Illinois, who uniformly &C
knowledge lack of previous informa-
ion concerning it, and are as eager for |
more knowledge of its habits as they are
earful of the result of its depredati0ns.

DON'T SPILL THE MILK.

"There is no use crying over spilled
milk" says the old saw. If you are not
only bald, but have no life in the roots
Of your hair, there is no use crying over
that, either. Take both time and your
self by the forelock while there is fore
lock left. Apply Parker's Hair Balsam
to your hair before matters get worse.
1t will arrest the falling off of your hair
and restore its original color, gloss and
softness. 1t is a perfect dressing withal,
clean, richly perfumed, cools and heals
the scalp.

superstitions is dislike to have cat
approach a dead person. If such an
accident happens the corpse will rise
upright, and the body has to be knocked
down with broom. In eating rice,
which is always eaten with a spoon, if
the first spoonful is dropped, it is con-
sidered a sign of bad luck. Unlike
Europeans, they believe the number
thirteen to be lucky, but they agree
with them in considering a horseshoe
over the door as bringing good luck
with it. They also, as people do here.
get over bad dreams by saying that
dreams go by contrary. In occupying
new house the first thing they do is
to have woman carry in bunch of
matches. This insures prosperity. If
the ear itches it is sign that some one
is talking about you; if it is the chin,
that cake will be received. If Corean
dreams of a Buddhist priest, he con-
siders himself in danger of being
poisoned. The hooting of an owl is
thought to announce the death of the
master of the house. Money found is
considered bad luck, as it is gained
without labor, and every evenly
balanced Corean will spend it before he
enters house. This, he thinks, will
avert any calamity.-ChriStian AdUo-
