4 New Field for Electric Lights.


 Dr. James Bryson, one of the largest planters in the State, says 2 Little Rock dispatch, is enthusiastic over what he thinks to be the most practicable and effective method for destroying the fly that deposits tho boll-worm egg. He says that soal-oil lamps are too much trouble, and it takes too much labor ti1 give them the proper s:stt.net.....sou. It is his opinion that extensive planters would find 1t to their advantage to put in an electric motor, and use electric lights, scattered atproper distances over the cotton field. The doctor calculates that he loses from S1,oo0 to S2, 900 every year from worms. It will cost about si, 900 to put in an electric motor on his plantation, with lines, lamps and full equipments for destroying every moth, miller and insect which may hatch out during season, and he proposes to be a pioneer and bring the electric motor into general use by putting in one him self. After the plant is once put into working order one man can operate it and attend to LOGO acres of cotton.
 Cotton Destroyed by Worms.
 special from Little Rock published n St. Louis paper few days ago, says:
 Boil worms have made their appearance in some of the big cotton fields of Pulaski County, and the high hopes entertained by the planters have fallen somewhat. Two overseers spent almost an entire afternoon among the plants, gathering bolls that had been perforated by the little living gimtets whose borlngs are worse than cyclone One of these gentlemen brought to this city at least pint of bolls, every one or which had a circular hole in 1t punctured by ono of these little pests. In some the worms had only partially effected au entrance, half their bodies hanging down the sides of the bolls. This gentleman announced that his fields swarm not only with the worms, but with the flies that lay eggs from which the worms are matched. The specimens brought to this city were taken to the Ger man National Bank and placed on exhibi- ton, where they were sorrowfully examined by number of plantation owners who live in Little Rock. This same planter purchased barrel of coal oil, and will immediately put out 1000 torches. The object of the light Is to attract the mo ths that lay the eggs. They fly into the flame and are killed. Quite a number of the big planters have left the city to examine their fields.

To c. I. Lobdell as Representative From
lane County, Kan.
TOPEKA, KAN. Dec. 6.-The supreme
court this morning refused to grant q
writ of mandamus applied for by c. E.
Lobdell, who demanded a certificate OF
election as representative from Lane
county. Lobdell based his claims on a
provision of the state constitution which
gives each organized county in the state
casting $50 votes a representative in the
the legislature. His first application
was 10 the state board of canvassers,
and was refused. The case was then
taken up TO the supreme court, and was
argued yesterday afternoon. The case
was one of great importance, for il Lob
dell had been admitted seventeen other
Republicans elected as delegates would
have been entitled to the same privilege.
Most of them were Ingalls, men, and
would have given the senator a majority
of two on joint ballot.
