bill as one that forfeited all lands where
railways have not been completed at this
time. Stone of Missouri held that forfeit

Too Much "Spoiis' in the Bill.
WASHINGTON CITY, July S.-Bage, from
the committee on agriculture and forest
~, reported to the senate yesterday the
views of the minority on the bill to pre-
vent the adulteration of food and drugs.
The minority holds that the proposed bill
embodies an evil as great as adul1eration
in the host of officers which it creates, and
declares that it is a bill for the inc rease of
patronage and will be more succ, ssful as
party measure than as u public benefit.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June ga drunken
fellow named West Darlington shot and
MORALLY wounded Robert Oder, q well-to-
do farmer, living at Cover, short dis
lance from this city. The shooting was
unprovoked and Darlington managed to
make his escape. Early next morning he
reached this city on horseback. Officers
were on the lookout and attempted to ar
arrest him, but he rode at full speed to
the ferry landing to cross to the Kansas
shore. AS the ferry was on the opposite
side and arrest seemed certain, CARING
ton drove his horse into the river and
started for Kansas. The stream is q
quarter of a mile wide at this point and
the water high and the current swift. The
horse sunk several times with the weight
of his rider until finally Darlington
slipped from the animals back and held
to its tail, landing in the willows half a
mile below the starting point. Officers
are now in pursuit. Oder can not possibly
recover.

He Will Probably be Nominated by the

ATLANTA, Ga, June 49, -"Longstree
for governor" 1t is phrase that has
been whispered quietly by Republicans for
some time. 1t is settled that when the
subcommittee of the state Republican
committee assemblies in Atlanta July 2, il
a vote be taken for Republican nominee
for governor, 1t will be Longstreet That
a meeting of the committee is called for
the purpose of putting out state ticket,
and If it is decided to hold state conven-
ton the names of the candidates for nomi
nation will be talked over at the meeting
of the committee and virtually determined
upon.
Opposed to the Scheme.
At the last meeting Of the Republican
state executive committee in Atlanta,
about two months ago, several names were
talked about. A great deal of interest
conferred in the name of Gen. Longstreet
as Republican candidate for governor, as
it was doubtless thought that he would
stand better chance than any other
Georgia Republican to split the vote of
the people, owing to the great devotion for
him so widely manifested by the old SOL
diers who fought under him. Gen. Long
street has already expressed himself as
decidedly opposed to having his name
mentioned in this connection. Those
who know him well entertain no idea
that he would enter the race just now.

Wild Winds Infiict Great Damages In a
Section of Michigan.
DETROIT, Mich, June 30.--Reports from
various parts of the state indicate that
the storm Saturday was unusually severe
in the country. A large section of the
farming property of Portland and Orange,
Ionia county, was literally wiped out. A
ten-acre tract of hardwood timber owned
by William Sayers was demolished, the
trees being torn up by the roots and
twisted into various shapes. Edward
Hardwood's barn was set on fire by light
ming and three valuable horses killed, but
before it had a chance to burn the wind
tore it apart and carried it away.
Stephen Drums residence was RACED to
the ground, and Mr.. Drum and his family
of five buried in the ruins. All were more
or less bruised, but none killed. Farm
lines are entirely obliterated and crops
ruined. Reports of serious damage come
from Quincy and elewhere, but they can
not be verified, as the wires are down. In
this city much property was destroyed.

ABOUT THE SUN-OEW.
How Queer Plant Catches and De-
YOURS Small Insects.

The sun-dew is an insect catcher.
Some have long, narrow leaves; others
round ones These sparkle in the sun
shine as though covered with raindrops
or dew. 1t is sweet, sticky substance.
by which insects are caught. Through
a magnify glass the leaf will be seen to
be fringed around the edge, and covered
on the upper surface with what has been
called tentacles because they seem like
the arms of certain sea animals, with
which they capture their prey. The
leaf says a little in the middle, and
when an Insects glued fast by the sticky
drop, every tentacle begins to curve over
and fasten him more strongly, The
movement is very slow, so slow that it
takes frequently several hours for it TO
be complete. What is very remarkable
about it, if fly alights on the
side of the leaf, or anywhere away
from the center, the tentacle it
touches bends over, carrying its prey
with it to the center of the leaf, and
then all Of the tentacles move toward
the middle and clasp it, The leaf then
pours over it liquid acid, which dis
solves what is good for food, thus acting
as does the gastric juice in our stom-
achs. One full meal will last the plant
nearly a week. 1t must have the right
kind of food, however. DR.. Darwin fed
a sun-dew on cheese, which made it
turn yellow and sickly, and it finally
died with dyspepsia, When a few
drops of milk were poured on leaf, it
curved up around the edges, making the
form more cup-ike, while the tentacles
bent over to absorb it Another re-
markable thing has been noted; If a
bit of meat is divided, half of it placed
on the leaf and the other on some moss
beside it, the piece on the leaf will re-
main fresh until digested, while that
on the moss becomes spoiled.
