and he was a sporty man. 4 relative

A Parasitic Growth Which Destroys
Thousands Of Strawberry Plants.
As TO conditions which affect blight
in the strawberry, the Kentucky state
college Of agriculture, by the director
OF experiments in the published bulle-
tin, goes into the subject in its minutia,
of which the following is a synopsis:
Young plants are not liable 70 blight
until their leaves are nearly grown,
and new beds, commonly, show but
few Of the spots until toward fall An
exception to this rule was noticed this
year which is worth recording. Some
rows Of young plants were put out
alongside old, badly blighted ones In
the fore part of August it was observed
that the young plants next the old
ones were becoming badly spotted, the
first row being especially affected,
while the plants farthest away were

earnings will be dispersed throughout
the community to increase the volume
of trade, and diffuse prosperity through
every avenue of enterprise.
Numerous handsome residences have
lately been built upon the G. & o. D.. Com
pany's property, and numerous Others
will be placed under contract, as occasion
demands. Negotiations are pending for
industries, other than those of the rail-
way company, and in all respects the
outlook is cheering and encouraging.
West Clifton Forge is naturally part
of Clifton Forge, and goes to make up
the center which will receive the tribute
of the surrounding country, as develop
ment progresses in the wonderful iron
district which hens it in.
Every dollar which has been invested
either in Clifton Forge, or in West Cliff
ton Forge, or indeed for that matter in
this entire district from Covington to
Clifton Forge, will be followed by re-
munerative returns and will grow in
value as the natural resources are
brought into active value by the appli
cation of brains and energy.
As Gen. Ingalls, remarked few days
ago, when the population of Clifton
Forge was named at 5000 people. that it
ought to be $4,000, and it will be
in the course of a brief time. The rail-
way management believes in the future
of this entire section, and will do all in
it's power, consistent with its legitimate
mission, to make Clifton Forge pro-
gressiye, populous, wealthy center,
where every branch of trade and every
line of industry will flourish and grow
into proportions commensurate with |
the marvellous natural advantages that
exist.

Encouragement of Smuggling.

Philadelphia Record.
While there has always been more or
less smuggling of opium under the in
ducement of high duties, the contraband
traffic in this drug has been enormously
stimuli ated by the Mckinley tariff. For
the allie ged purpose of diScouraging the
consum ption of opium the crude article
was rem owed from the free to the dutia-
Die list nd the duty on prepared opium
was raised from SO TO SIP pound. At
the same time an internal revenue tax
or $40 pound was imposed upon the
domestic manufacture of prepared
opium. As result, the importation of
opium through the custom house has
declined more than half since the new
duties went into operation, whilst there
has been no apparent diminution in the
supply.
The temptation to earn Sl2 upon every
pound of opium smuggled into the coun-
try, with the easy opportunities afforded
for the traffic. is difficult for the traders
on the Canadian and Mexican borders
TO resist. 1t is estimated that the loss
TO the public revenues from opium
smuggling is not less than $1,000, 900 4
year. The rapid decline in importatioaS
at the custom house indicates that the
legitimate import trade will soon be en-
tirely superseded by the contr aband
traffic. There are also many other
highly taxed articles that afford almost
equal temptation for defrduding the
public revenues and despOiling honest
dealers who pay duties. A prOhibitive
tariff is the life of the smuggler'S trade.

Rudolph Jasper. who has officiated as

last. has been removed from that posi-

great injustice has thereby been done
him. Jasper states that he was ap-
pointed upon recommendation of Henry
Oswald and TheOphile hastings. and
that his name was presented TO the
board by Mr.. Rolfe. He asserts that he
has performed his duties in careful
and conscientious manner; that he is a
man of strictly temperate habits, and
that no complaints or charges ever were
made against him and no reason given
for his discharge.
