anoculated Chlnch RnL A

MADISON, Wis. Aug 1.-Experiments
have been made in Dane county with
the inoculated chinch bugs from Kan
sas. Reports have been received from
the operations on the farm of Frank
Sink in College Grove. A box of dead
bugs was brought to the city which
were picked up near single stock Of
wheat on Mr.. Sinks farm. The inocu-
lated bugs were placed in the field on
July s and the insects are dying by the
million, but SO late that although the
experiment has proved great success,
the wheat was SO far gone before the
inoculated bugs were put in that but
little of il can be saved. The infected
bugs were brought from Kansas and
the belief is held by those interested
in the experiment that 1t Is a sure sue
cess if tried early in the season. The
box of bugs was scooped up at the base
of a wheat stock, and although it is
but small sized capsule box, it con.
tains hundreds of these dead insects

committed suicide by shooting himself
in the head. Mrs. Saultry may re-

and he called at her fathers house TO
have her return home. She refused
and he opened fire. He was plumber
by trade, but has not been working
much OF late.
At the inquest held on the body of

How Cowboy Saved the Lie ~ q ven-
turesorne Eastern Miss.
CHAMBERLAIN, s. d., July 80 Among
the tales OF the roundup of cattle west
of the Missouri river Is one with a
flavor OF romance. When the cattle
men had cleaned up the reservation
and crossed the Cheyenne the camp
was visited ono evening by party
from neighboring ranch, one of
whom was charming young girl from
the east, Miss Lettie Barton. She was
delighted by the novelty OF the scenes
at camp, and readily accepted an invi-
tation from Alex Kenyon, one of the
men, to take canter over the bluffs
to the river. Suddenly black steer
rushed out from clump of bushes.
The horse which the young lady rode
took fright, became unmanageable and
bounded away toward the river Ken
yon tried To overtake the girl As the
two horses rushed up the blur, a sheer
precipice, fringed with tree tops, ap-
peared few rods ahead. II looked as
il horse and rider were doomed, but
Kenyon, who had anticipated the
danger, suddenly refined In his horse,
swung his rope lariat about his head
and sent it coiling in the air. The loop
fell about the shoulders OF the fright
ehed girl, the cowboys horse reared
back, the rope frightened and the girl
was lifted from the saddle and drawn
to the heavily tufted prairie sod. The
young woman, half conscious, was
borne back To camp by her cavalier,
who was prouder of his exploit than
the cowboy who beat the steer-roping
record last year.

End of a Long Peerare Contest.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The house of lords,
sitting as committee on privileges, has
decided the historic Berkeley peerage
case. 1t held that Randall Molbray
Thomas Berkeley had established his
claim as earl of Berkeley and Viscount
Dinsley. His claim was that the heir
of the fifth earl of Berkeley, who died
in 1910, bee anne extinct and that he,
being the eldest male heir Of the fourth
earl, was entitled to the peerage In
question. The opposing claim of Fran
els William Fitzhardinge Berkeley,
Baron Fitzhardinge, who asserted that
he was the son of the fifth earl of
Berkeley and Mary Cole, whom he
married in l7s5, was dismissed. This
upholds q decision rendered In 1871,
when it was decided that the marriage
TO Mary Cole in 1855 was void, and that
o child born prior to the remarriage In
1896 was illegitimate.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. IA well devel.
oped mad dog, mad horse and mad
chicken scare is having things all its
own way in the western part of the
city, Something like TWO weeks ago a
big brown dog belonging to James Bar
rett commenced acting strangely.
Among other things the dog went to
the top of hill and bit the heads off
a number Of spring chickens belonging
to Mrs. Faulkner. Several of the
neighbors suspected that the dog had
rabies, and spoke to Mr.. Barrett about
the matter, but he laughed at their
suspicious. A few days after this a
horse belonging To a butcher named
Vessel, fell i'll with strange malady
and died. The veterinary surgeon who
had the horse N charge, stated that it
was a case of hydrophobia. Subse-
quently a horse b. longing To Mr.. Shar-
wood and one belonging to Mr.. West
died. Since then some cows and at
least one dog have died with rabies,
and people in the 'sest end are thor.
oughly frightened.

"BUChU" HELMBOLD INSANE.
He is Again Confined I'm an Asylum Under
Strict Guard,

strict Guard.
New YORK, July 30.-Dr. Henry T..
Helmbold, the famous buchu man, who
was credited with having piled up a
fortune of 1000, 600 by the sale of his
patent medicines, is once more in a
madhouse. Chained at the wrists and
with shackles on his ankles, he was
taken from his home at Long branch
last Friday and conveyed to the insane
asylum at Trenton, n. j. lie Is now
In straightjacket, a raving maniac
1t Is the fourth time within the last
twenty years that the doctors family
has been compelled TO place him under
restraint. This will probably be the
last, for competent physicians have
pronounced his case hopeless. Ever
since his release from the Philadelphia
asylum the doctor has resided with his
family at his beautiful country home
on Chelsea avenue, Long Branch. He
never was entirely cured, and during
the last few months his old trouble de-
veloped to such an extent that il was
necessary TO keep him at home in
charge of professional attendants day
and night. Last week the doctor
made several attempts to injure his at
tendants and members of his family.
Fearing that some dreadful tragedy
might result from his insanity, the
family, acting upon the advice of the
physicians, caused his incarceration.

her. 1t was all the work of u moment,
but the lady had narrow escape. She
says she struck the boat twice in her
passage under it.

Passenger Train In Ohio Leaves the
Track and Several People Are Hurt.
BELLAIRE, o., Aug 1.AAnother hor.
tor has been added to the late list Of
accidents In Ohio. At about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning passenger train No.
on the Bellaire, GAINESVILLE and Gin
cinnati Narrow Guage road left the
track three miles south of Bellaire,
two ears being overturned and
dragged some distance by the engine.
There were seventy passengers on
the train and the two cars that turned
over in the ditch were crowded with
young people from this section. When
the train left the track somebody cried
out that everybody should cling to
their seats, but the shock was so awful
many were hurled from one side 10 tho
other, those not badly injured being
terribly shaken up. Assistance was
soon at hand from other passengers
and the trainmen, and when all were
finally taken out Of the wreck it was
found that fourteen people had been
Injured, four of them seriously and one
fatally.
The train was running at the least
nv thG IatC VI bnh -nNC
miles an hour and as it reached curve
the cars were noticed to sway violently,
and unheeded the cries of the passen-
gers rush was made for the doors.
Many of the frightened passengers had
reached the platform when the cars
jumped the rails and when they turned
over in another minute these were
hurled into the ditch. The list of in
jured are as follows:
John Morris, baggagemaster, hurt inter-
nally, badly bruised and will probably die
Charles McElroy, leg broken and other
wise bruised.
William McElroy, head hurt and inter-
ually injured.
John Irwin Of Bethel, O., head crushed
and scalp injured
@. p. Wilcox of York, Pa, head badly
injured.
In addition to these there were many
badly bruised, but they were able To
take care of themselves, and this af-
ternoon they went TO their several des-
tinations.
Physicians were telegraphed for
from this city and Pittsburg and were
soon on the ground doing everything
possible for the most seriously injured.

An Ex-Judge In Trouble.

CHPPAwA FALLS, Wis. Aug. LIT is
stated by parties in this city who are
apparently in a position to know, that
w. II. Hoyt, ex-municipal Judge and
formerly great sachem of the republi-
can party of this city, has come to
grief In far-of Alaska. Mr.. Hoyt had
his party zeal rewarded with the Office
of court commissioner of Alaska, but il
is alleged that he became dissatisfied
with the slowness of the returns and
that Uncle Sam became dissatisfied
with him. Just what occasioned the
trouble between Mr.. Hoyt and the gov
ernment cannot be learned. Its ma
ture is said to be such. however, as TO
induce him to leave Alaska's icy noun
tains never to return. Mr.. Hoyt was
appointed court commissioner during
tho early part of 1890.

and English Marines.

HALIFAX, N. S., July gs.--A number
of marines from the United States war
ship Philadelphia, now at this port,
had an encounter with several sailors
from the British war ship Emerald on
the street last night. All the Ameri-

Corporal Allen, of the Philadelphia,
striking q British sailor. The latter
made a return blow at Allen and gem
eral fight ensued. Allen drew his re-
volver and was knocked down by
chums of the Englishman. The police
arrested Allen and succeeded in quiet
ing the crowd. Allen was locked up
and was this morning handed over to
officers of his ship to be dealt with. al
though the United States sailors were
drunk. The trouble has created some
bad feeling between the marines and
the sailors of.the British and United
States ships and the police are prepar-
ing to deal with any trouble that may
occur during the stay Of the American
shiDs.

result Of bestirring police court officers
and magistrates to activity To secure

were twelve undeniable drunks on

eleven of them for disorderly conduct.

THE BARB-WIRE TRUST.
II Goes Into Effect Today aud the Price
Will lie Increased.

VIII He Increased.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The barb-wire
trust goes into effect today, and an
immediate increase in the prices of this
material may be expected. The only
licensed manufacturers who are out of
the deal are the Cleveland Barb Wire
company, of Cleveland; the Superior
Barb Wire company, of De Kalk, Ills,
and Jacob Hash, of DE Kalk. Under
the trust the manufacturers will sell
all their output TO the Columbia Patent
company, and this corporation will
have entire control of fully 90 per cent.
of the entire product. The manufac-
turers will also pay an increased roy-
atty OF SO per ton, the present ROYALTY
being 81, and 10 meet this prices must
necessarily be advanced 1t is thought
that the few licensed manufacturers
who are still holding out will come
into the fold before many weeks IL
the present trust is successul, the apri-
cultural classes will reap no advantage
from the fact that the patent expires
two years hence, from the simple
fact that the monopoly will be SO
strong that it will be ena bled, IL neces-
sary, to undersell, and consequently to
crush out any competitors that may be
inclined to try conclusions with it. No
manufactures, or com mbination of minor
manufacturers, 1t is boasted, will be
able TO hold its own against the Column
bia- An increase in the price of barb
wire from S2.75 to SO. so per 100
pounds may be expected within
week. The Washbourn-Moen COM
pany has, os course, the big end of th.
combination, having been given the
privilege of manufacturing 10000
tons of wire annually, free OF
royalty. When the advance goes into
effect, therefore, this company will in
crease its present profits be $780,
900 dollars annually, without any
increase of expenses
