~SPRrNGFIELD, Ill, May 30.-The State Ento-
mologist, Prof. S. A. Forbes, has written to
Secretary Mills. of the Agricultural Board. that
he finds cut-worms of various species more
numerous this year throughout central and
southern Illino dis than he has ever known them
before. The fact is due, doubtless. to the dry
weather of the last three years. The root web
worm il also especially abundant, and likely to
join with the cut-worm in doing serious mis-
chief when the corn is planted after grass The
same circumstances which have promoted tho
developments of the cut-worm are likewise
favorable to the increase of tho army-worm.

A Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many OF his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated DR.. Farnsworfh, OF
Norwich, Conn, recommends Ayers
Pills as the best of all remedies for
"Intermittent Fevers."
DR.. /. E. Fowler, Of Bridgeport,
Conn, says: ayers Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. 1 make daily use of them
in my practice"
DR.. Mayhem, of New Bedford, Mass.
says: "Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice, I
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts, State Assayer, DIR.
A. A. Hayes, certifies 81 have made q
careful analysis Of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles of we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking.
OF great importance to their usefulness.
1t insures activity, certainty, N uni
formity of effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues Of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination"

Wants to Uoise R.formers.

Mr.. e. Evans, of TonawAnda. N. Y, who
claims to be the original national reformer, 10 IN
attendance 1t the convention, not as . delegate,
but by invitation. Mr.. Evans says that sincs
1884 he has advocated the organization of oil the
reform elements Of the Nation in one party. to
be called the National Reform party" He
caused two conferences to be held last year. one
at Buffalo and the other at Syracuse, N. Y. At
Syracuse . platform Of principles was adopted
which took strong grounds in favor of the abo-
lition Of the liquor traffic. hence iS embraces the
whole Prohibition party in one plank.
The reformers hold that Prohibition - . party
cognomen il too narrow for . great national
party, and that one under that name ought not
to take up any other questions, for the reason
that all other questions, such as the tariff, labor
finance and other Q orrelative questions, are re-
form questions. and not prohibition. Mr..
Evans thinks that il the reformers viii support
him they will eventually destroy the Prohibi-
tion party, which. he says. had better begin to
look to its laurels or il will DO swamped just as
the Liberty and Fres-soil movement WAS do
stroyed by the Republican party in 90 and go.

George Christian. of Chicago. . delegate from
Illinois, says that the msn who are In charge Of
the convention SO far this year are new hands
and that those who were prominent in its man.
afement four years ago. with the exception Of
few leaders, are standing back. On the matter
of making . platform he thinks no issue il Of any
consequence in the eyes Of the Prohibitionists,
except the saloon question-that the tariff,
which the Republican and Democratic parties
were. making so much over, was . matter
Of comparatively no Importance He
characterized it as monetary issue
which time would settle. The Prohibitionist of
Of the West, be said. do not agree with their
brethren Of the East ON the money question.
The West. he thought, was almost in favor of
fiat money, though they yielded four years ago
1t Pittsbure in the making of a platform. Mr..
Christian is also . womans suffragiss, and he
characterized Sam Small as a Prohibitionist
who had hardly gotten out OF his swaddling
clothes. yet who wanted to dictate to old time
advocates what they ought to do.

their rayages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
