The Eucalyptus Tree and Malaria

Some years ago claims were made that
the Eucalyptus globulus would Danish
malaria from the land if only planted
in abundance in malarious regions. Ex-
tensive plantations were accordingly
made, but SO far as known the result
was q total failure. DR.. Brandes. of
Hanover, now advocates. with a similar
object in view, the growth of the
Anacharis alsinastrum, q water-plant
which is exceedingly common in some
sections OF the country. He bases his
proposition upon the fact that in the
district where he lives feyers of a
malarial type were very prevalent until
this water-plant was introduced. and
that they diminished from year to wear
until four years ago when they entirely
disappeared and have not since returned
AZ the Anacharis is easily obtained and
grows spontaneously, requiring no at
tention, the experiment can be easilv
tried IN marshy districts where malaria

used to keep apples fresh and crisp until
June. Their mode was to put the fruit
ap in banks just as many now a ' sweet
potatoes at the South. AT time of har-
rest . spot Of high, well drained land
was selected upon which to bank the
apples. Here was scooped out d sort Of
sau~cer-shaped bottom, upon which, after
covering with an inch or SO of straw. was
piled the apples, covering the same with
some six or eight inches Of straw, and
then with enough earth to keep out the
frost not unfrequentIy. however, cover
ing the whole with o layer of sods to
protect the same from washing. IA hole
was opened on the south side of the bank
during the winter when apples were re-
qaired, as much fruit taken out as was
needed and the hole closed up secure as

THE STATE FAIR.
Bright Prospects for Great Display and
Large Attendance-Dr of Knights.

The Office of the Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture was moved to the fair grounds
yesterday morning and all the officers of the
fair will now be found there Applications for
space are still coming in from all parts OF this
and adjoining States, and before noon yesterday
forty applicants had been turned away, because
the space is every inch taken. The managers
state that in every department the entries are a
third more in number than ever before Yester-
day many of the exhibitors were busily en-
gagged in arranging their displays in the EXPOSE
ton Building The stock also began to arrive,
and several herds of cattle from other States
came in during the day. To-day there will be
much activity on the grounds, for it Is the de-
sire to get as many of the exhibits in position
before next week as possible. All the officers
are greatly elated at the encouraging outlook,
and if they are blessed with favorable weather
next week. they see nothing to hinder remark
ably successful fair.
Uniform Rank No 2, Knights of Pythias, of
this city, victors at the Newport, KY. drill pro-
pose to drill at the fair grounds some day next
week. They are anxious to compete with the
Kokomo division, which carried off the prize at
Toronto but the Kokomo Knights express dis
inclination to enter for anything more than an
exhibition drill. It's officers, it is claimed, want
the State fair authorities to offer prize for
this and not for competitive drill.

IN THEIR NEW HOME.
Opening Yesterday of the Quarters for Home
less NeWsbOys and BOotblaeks.

The Newsboys and Bootb!acks' Home in its
new quarters, No. % West Ohio street, opened
yesterday. No. % West Ohio street is the old
Tomlinson property, until recently owned by the
city, now belonging to Christian Hilgenberg.
The ladies having the house in charge have
not got things arranged yet but are far enough
along to say that the home is admirably adapted
to the purpose. Last evening twenty boys were
at supper, and beds were furnished to fifteen or
sixteen-all who desired them. The bed ticks
were filed with fresh straw, and there were
sheets and coverings, so that the boys will have
no occasion to trust to hay-mow lodgings. In q
short time there will be sleeping acCommo dations
for thirty boys
The sleeping rooms are in the second story,
the building having two stories and half base
ment, and all open into each other, and into hall.
The ceilings are high and the ventilation good
In the basement are the dining room and kitchen.
In a separate building is bathroom, which will
be in order in few days. Jungclaus & Schu-
macher, the contractors, have donated the home
two bath tubs from the Y. M. G. A. building,
and the officers of the Reform School at Plain
field have loaned large kitchen range upon
which to prepare the meals
On the main floor is the room occupied by the
matron, Miss leila Rossetter and the assistant
matron, Mrs. Lizzie Reed; the Office. the chapel
and the reading-room. The last-named room
was the parlor, and in this the boys will meet to
talk, read or engage in quiet games It is the
intention to fit up one of the basement rooms for
a gymnasium.
The home must, to large extent, be supplied
by voluntary contributions. The running
pense will be about 1925 month. which includes
the pay of the matron and assistant. the SER
wants, gas, water fuel rent etc. This is exclus-
i've of the money received from the boys for
meals and lodging, which is expected to pay for
the food they eat. and perhaps little over. The
meals cost according to what a boy orders, and
range in price from 3 centssto 20 cents. A nights
loding will cost cents. There are CRATES in
every room, and when the cold winter nights
come on the beauty and comfort of this very
practical institution will be fully appreciated
by the youngsters. The reading
is good place for those inclined to
donate literature that will entertain and instruct
these boys. Not alone books, but illustrated
newspapers magazines and other periodicals
will be thankfully received by the ladies having
the home in charge It was sight we'll worth
seeing, to observe the boys last evening at sup
per in their new home. 1t is safe to say that
the same number of Sunday school boys, picked
from first families" could not have behaved
handsomer.

Trouble Between Democratic Co-workers.


The law firm of Bernhamer & Walls has sued
S. L. Perkins for $50 legal services. When the
remonstrants against George Zapf's application
for liquor license had their case before the
County Commissioners, who, after thorough
examination, of several days duration, granted
the license, lawyer Walls represented them.
Perkins said he and others wanted to engage
Henry Span, but Walls, being one of the re-
monstrants, asked to take charge of it, saying:
II want to manage it so / can introduce myself,
and, as am one Of the remonstrants, think it
is my due" No mention was made Perkins
claims about pay for the service. and they let
Walls conduct their side. Shortly after the de-
cision Walls sent in his bill, which Perkins re-
fused to pay. This caused cessation of friendly
feeling between the two, who heretofore have
worked together in the Thirteenth ward in the
interest of the late Mr.. Baiey's candidacy for
Congress. They also assisted in nominating the
Democratic legislative ticket

Discovery of Old War Supplies.

The old brick building Pearl street in the
rear of the State Offices was used during the war
as storehouse for war supplies. For several
years it has been used by different firms as
etorehouse, and lately has been rented by firm
handling poultry. Yesterday Acknowledgement
Koontz was notified by Morris e Co., who have
the renting Of the building, that there were some
old military supplies stored there, and upon in
yestigation the Adgutant- general found fifteen
boxes and barrels filed with cartridge belts,
caps, bayonets. gun sings. etc. The goods are
AI dirty and rusty, and the discovery is not val
ned very highly. The goods have remained in
the building twenty-five years without being dis
turbed

SILK DEPARTMENT

While we have always carried a
large and elegant line Of Silk
Goods, yet this season is an eclipse
on all others in the extent and va
Tiety which our present stock shows.
We have every desirable shade in
Colored Silks in several qualities,
and in Black Silks we are showing
the most extensive line we ever
had, and in best values. Silks are
fast assuming their place, which has
for.the past few years been held by
wool goods, and the demand has
been, and is still, increasing. The
manufacturers are aware of this
fact, and have produced some ex-
cellent effects in silks which will
be appreciated by the public and
cause a great demand. We have
some beautiful novelties in Silk
Goods which are very pleasing, and
having quick sale.

actual settlers in one hundred and
sixty acre farms. There ought to
be no delay about this, for there
are no Indian titles to be extin-
guished; no consent of Indians is
required, and the leases now ex-
listing to cattlemen are void and
fraudulent.
On these eleven and a half mil
lion acres of government lands
over seventy-three thousand fami-
lies of industrious farmers could
be and would very soon be settled
on one hundred and sixty acre
farms. That would relieve the
labor market, revive business in
many branches and do a great deal
to end the present labor troubles.
By the way, what has Chief
Bushyhead to say about his leas-
ing to cattle men the public land
strip? He is silent about the trans
action. But he ought to under
stand that, to all appearances, this
is as impudent a fraud as though
he should undertake to lease TO
somebody any empty house he
might find on a New York street.
We should like to hear from Mr..
Bushyhead on that subject.-New
York Herald.

oHIEF RusHYHEAp.

We print elsewhere letter from
Mr.. Bushyhead, the pricipal chief
of the Cherokees, in which he takes
exception to some statements con-
cerning the condition of the six
million acre tract known as the
Cherokee land strip made on Tues
day by our Washington cores
pondent.
Unluckily for Mr.. Bushyhead,
our Washington correspon dent
now produces what seem to us en-
tirely conclusive proofs that the
principal chief of the Cherokees is
extremely i'll informed or has
chosen TO ignore the vital facts in
the case. 1t is shown in our cor
respondents dispatch, by citations
from official documents, first, that
the interior department holds that
the payments made on the Chero-
kee strip cover the whole strip
not a part only, as Mr..
Bushyhead asserts; second, that
the Cherokees themselves base a
demand for final payment on this
same ground, that the previous
payments covered the whole tract
and that they are entitled TO
the delayed payment for the whole,
with five per cent. interest; third,
it is shown that the Cherokees
themselves have accepted the val
uation, made in accordance with the
act of congress, Of forty-seven and
half cents per acre for the whole
tract; fourth, II is shown conclu-
sively that even if this great tract
belonged TO the Cherokees they
have no right TO lease it without
the permission of congress.
II seems to US clear that congress
ought to at once make the final
payment TO the Cherokees still due
on this large tract Of land, of the
delay in which they have Justly
complained, and then throw the
adjoining public land strip and
Oklahoma open 10 settlement,
