ated at the University of the City of New
York, took course in the Columbia law

rife practice of the First brigade, N. G.
S. N. j. In 1881 he was defeated in his
candidature for the assembly, New
York, but three years later was elected,
and has since occupied that position. In

strongly for electoral reform.

three half pints of oil will burn all
night with half-inch tube for wick.
My opinion that if only one farmer burns
lamps he will only have to use them lit
tie longer than if all used them in order
to fully protect his crop. l think our
people are fully determined to try the
experiment, as they have everything to
gain and nothing to lose. think one
lamp to four or five acres would be suffl-
eient, commencing the first of June and
continuing to the last of August, burning
two weeks in each month. This would
be fair test and would not cost exceed
ing thirty-fiVe or forty cents per acre.

Ed. Monitor Replying TO your recent
letter in which you ask for my experience
in the use of what is known as the cotton
lamp used for the destruction of the fly
or miller which produces the leaf and
boil worms so destructive to cotton,
have this to say: l am of the opinion
that If the lamps were used as they
should be the cotton crop would be fully
protected from the boil worm, as well as
from the leaf worm or caterpillar.
think the lamp ought to be put out about
June and continued at intervals as long
as the fly can be seen coming to the
lamp 1 think it necessary TO keep
it out only on dark nights, as
the fly does not seem TO notice the
light much when the moon is shining
brightly. l have heard farmers object
TO the plan upon the ground that it
would not prove effeotual for one farmer
unless all neighbors adopted ii also
That is a mistaken idea as has been
fully demonstrated in the last crop. Mr.
Martin Lehin, who has little farm adj
joining mine, Gust fence between ns)
had about five acres Of cotton on which
he burned lamp during the dark nights
IN July; he made two and half bales
of cotton on the five acres and | made
stalks, but he made the cotton The
stalks on my place were much larger
than his. Mr.. Lehin says that he is
satisfied, and so am I that if he had
commenced sooner and burned the
lamps later his cotton would have been
much better. A lamp that viii hold

MARIA HALPIN'S BROTHER
Mauls Han Charged with Debauching His
Wife-A Lively Court Scene.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July IA sensa-
tional suit had a sensational ending in
Police Judge Boland IS court late this af-
ternoon. Last Friday c. Paxson, a
prominent and wealthy stock broker of
this city, was arrested at the
instance Of J. j. Halpin, brother
of Maria Halpin. Halpin ac-
cused Paxson OF having been Grim
inally intimate with the formers wife
The case came to trial this afternoon
before Judge Boland, and no less than
four witnesses gave very eliminating tes-
timony. Judge Boland, however, an
nouuced that no case had been made and
discharged the suit,
''That' 8 your decision, - cried the en-
ragged Halpin, "'then this is mine, - and
with a heavy walking stick ne struck
Paxson blow on the head that rendered
him unconscious.
Before another blow could be inflicted
Halpin was arrested by an officer present
Paxson is IN critical condition, but his
injuries viii not prove fatal, so the
doctor says.

COTTON WORMS


A Rams county farmer had $50 acres
of sandy land in cotton last year. He
put oil lights IN his field at night and
made lao bales of cotton. A neighboI
with about the same acreage had no
lamps and made seven bales. | think
every paper in the state should publish
this fact and comment on it.. Lamps
cost about thirty-five cents and will burn
about two cents worth of oil night.
The following from the Paris News will
be of interest IN this connection: 'The
Becknell Prairie agricultural society, or
gained to protect our crops against the
ravages of the cotton worm and to dis
ouss all matters pertaining TO horticul-
ture and to the improvement of stock e,
now boasts of membership of about
fifty of our best farmers. All who have
put out lights report that they are de-
stroying the parsley worm millers by the
thousands Those that sting the young
squares are the most easily caught, and l
feel assured that l have caught the most
of those on my cotton land. We are
catching some boil worm millers, and q
peep INTO our pans would lead one to be-
lieve that the whole miller family had
given up the ghost and yielded to the
Beeknell prairie society. The present
indications are that we will be able to put
out lights on three-fo uPths of the prairie.
Observation convinces me that the miller
does not fly a great distance from where
it is Matched unless carried by wind and ,
when once destroyed on a certain field :,
the field is not much in danger form
neighboring lands. We are putting one
light to five.acres and regard the expert
ment, so far, as a success. ~ John
Martin in Dallas News

One Way in Which the scalper Operates.

One Way in Which the Scalper Operates.
A railroad manager, on the subject of
ticket scalpIng, is quoted by the Indian
apolis Journal as follows: "The trouble
now is, and always has been, that some
general passenger agents, in order to
work up their business and make a big
showing for themselves and their lines,
persist in havingtickets sold via round
about routes; they inform brokers of the
scheme that they may purchase the tick
cts, and thus help them out still further
by redeeming the unused portion of the
through tickets by whomsoever they are
presented. A broker consequently knows
when he goes to a ticket office and pur-
ehases through tickets by q line doing
business in this way, and resells to pas
senger with an order on his correspond
ent for rebate, that even if the ticket
is limited closely, and his correspondent
at the intermediate point does not succeed
in disposing of the unused coupons within
the limit, the arrangement is such that
the line selling the ticket will redeem it,
and he will make his margin out Of it. -

THE COTTON WORM .

We have elsewhere taken occasion to
mention the fact that moths have already
appeared to threaten the cotton crop of
our county. Specimens of the larva of
this insect were exhibited in the Gazette
News office yesterday by Mr.. j. A. Tip
petit of CAROLS Prairie. 1t goes through
a rapid metamorphosis from the egg to
the perfect butterfly. The little worm
that matches from the egg burrows in the
tender squares of the cotton, and after
making several mouths it is large worm
an inch and a half long and strong
enough to cut into the grown bolls. The
insects remain in the larva state about
sixteen days, and then go into the
purpa state, shortly bursting forth
as moth. These worms are
now found in the corn, and thousands of
the moths may be seen flying among the
young plants at night. When the cotton
has sufficient growth they will have in
creased and multiplied in the corn fields
until they VIII invade the cotton fields
with the strength of a devastating army.
Mr. Tippett urges the farmers to take
action at once. A tin lamp set in a pan.
the bottom of which is covered with mo-
lasses or soapsuds, viii catch hundreds of
the moths if left out over night. Each
moth is capable of laying 5000 or 5000
eggs, which will hatch as many worms.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Tippett that one
lamp is sufficient for four acres of cotton
land - Sulphur Springs Gazette-News.

FROM MR.. j. D. CROMWELL OF AMBIA
have been trying lamps; 1 have 100
acres and am using 100 lamps. 1 find
them TO be a success in catching the
"millers which deposit the egg pFoduc-
ing the web and boil worms. I have
been burning lamps now nearly four
weeks; they cost me I625 cents each. I
also bought siXty-five gallons of oil, at
Is cents per gallon. 1t takes one gill of
oil to burn all night, but one-balf gill
will burn till II O'Clock, and that is,
think, long enough. The lamps should
be lit by sun down; use about one table,
spoonful of oil in the pan, it will aid
greatly in holding the miller. 1 have
averaged 800 or 400 insects to each lamp,
not all however, millers.
If find that the lamps have not de-
stroyed all the ;nillers, and am bothered
by worms, shall use Paris green or
London purple on them. We are COM
PEELED to make crop, or our merchants
and ourselves will all be broke.
I have bought for our neighborhood
over 500 lamps.
Men who laughed at it at first, and
said they would not have them, are now
burning them right along.
Lamps which burn only till u seem to
catch as many as those which burn all
night.
Mr.. David Tucker lit his first lamp at
the house, and when he reached his cot
ton he had fifteen millers caught, and
got 600 that night
1 shall keep my lamps burning as long
as they catch the millers, cit it takes all
the summer
lost $4,000 last year on the worms and
propose to fight them this year.-[J. D.

Central traffic association addresses Com
missioner Cooley a letter of inquiry upon
number of matters, and, among others,
this one of thorough and local rates.
Mr.. Cooley s reply was as follows:
The commission has repeatedly held
that it is not necessary that the proper
ton railroad shall consent to receive of
a through rate should be the same as its
local rate for transportation over an
identical line. 1t is fully impressed that
the proper transaction of the business of
the country compels the acceptance in
great many eases, and perhaps generally,
of less sum, as the proportion of
through rate than is charged as a local
rate, and that any ruling that the two
must be identically the same would be as
unfortunate to the commercial interests
of the country as it would be to the rail-
roads themselves.
