The North and south Road.

The Republican is informed by E. Newman that when he was east he called on F.. Nj. Dickey, administra- tor of the estate of Joe Reynolds, at his office in Chicago relative to the proposition of the near inaugura- ton of active work on the North and South railroad. Mir. Dickey inform ed Mir. Heyman that the people in Phenix need not have the least fear that the road would be built and that very shortly. and when Mir. Heyman imparted the information that It was on the above result whether he invested several thou sands of dollars in his business or not he was unhesitatingly advised to go right ahead with his investment.
 Mir. Dickey then showed MT. Hey man bundle of correspondence which had been collected to injure the enterprise. but had utterly failed in its mission. and also that Mrs. Reynolds has seen fit to place the whole matter in his hands, and gave not the least consideration to opp posing parties.
 Mir Heyman has every confidence in Mir Dickey and as consequence Is enthusiastic over the future pros perity that will shortly begin to dawn on our valley and Territory. Phenix Republican,.

G. k. Woods, of Oswego, N. \
 met with frightful death at the Oswego county fair grounds. One of the attractions was . balloon as cension and parachute jump by Pro lessor ]. J. Frisby. Woods was one of number of volunteers engaged in holding the big gas bag on the ground while it was being inflated with hot air. When everything was in readiness and Professor Frisby was getting his parachute ready, smoke was seen issuing from the balloon. The cry was started that the balloon was burning and the volunteers let go, except Woods. In an instant he was whirling in the air and the terrified spectators say that he was entangled in the ropes. When about twenty five feet from the earth he partially disengaged himself and let go the ropes. The ropes, how ever, were entangled around his legs and he was soon shooting rapidly upwards, feet first. He kicked furi- ously for a minute or two and then his body shot downward, head first. He was picked up dead.
 William Allen, the negro, who shot and fatally wounded F. Meyers, mar shal at Guy;on, Ga, was taken from the officers who had him in charge, and carried to the woods, chained to a tree and shot to death.

The fruit is hollow, consisting only
of the spongy distendcd skin, contain
ing but tic shriveled remains of what
would have been the pit and pulp of
the plum.
The disease does not appear to be
more abundant the second or third year
on trees that have previously been sub
ject to it than on others, though from
analogy we would suppose such to be
the case.
Probably gathering the swollen fruit
and destroying it before the spores ripen
which is in central Iowa during the
first two weeks of Junc-would be as
effective method as any that could be
suggested. Where the trees are low
this could be easily done, as the enor-
nous puffy plums are very conspicuous.
The Taphrini pruai of Europe is said
to attack the foliage as well as the
fruit. This is not the case, however,
with the fungus in question, only the
fruit being affected. Prairie Farmer.

To neStrnY OnaCk Grass

Although this grass has a running
root from which numerous shoots
branch out and make new plants yet it
may be destroyed If the right means
are taken with it. In gardens and mar
row places the ground should be spaded
and completely inverted, leaving the
roots uppermost In fields the land
should be plowed with the same result.
Exposure of the uptuned soil and roots
to the sun for few days will kill the
grass without any more being done.
Then thorough narrowing with a
slopiug tooth or a Coulter harrow,
which does not tear out the roots. will
prevent the growth of any escaping
fragments, 1t Is desirable to SOW the
land with millet or buckwheat and
plow it again in the fall when sharp
frosts occur. To depend upon picking
out the roots will be futile, as a large
proportion will be left in the soil and
restocl1 the land The special kind of
blowing by which the plants are com
ple%ly reversed is the key to success in
thi= yorll.-N. Y. Times,

A Woodland Cur,oaltv.

While surveying Ave or six miles
north OF Monteville, Mo-, County Sur
veyer Wood found quite curiosity re-
Gently. His field notes made by Deputy
United States Surveyor Jesse Apple
gate, in November 1887, called for a
quarter section at u certain hickory
tree ten inches in diameter. Mr.. Wood
found a hickory tree at the point desig.
mated, but it was fully sixteen inches in
diameter. He cut into the tree and
found the mark made in 1887. The chip
he brought away with him, about eigh.
teen inches in length, shows on its
inner face 4 black surface like bark
and the raised figures "a and the
raised letter rs" meaning quarter sec.
ton. The wood fibre of the tree grew
into the indented marks in such way
as to make the raised letters perfectly
outlined upon the chip.-Chicago Jour
