SIZE.
The pupa is smooth and shining, of q
bright yellowish brown color and, as the
name implies, resembles a small seed.
The adult flies, which in turn emerge
from the faxseeds, loiter about until OPP
portunity offers for placing their eggs on
a suitable plant.
Two broods develop each year. Flies
which have passed the cold months as
flaxseeds appear early in spring and
place eggs in young wheat. Most Of
the grubs Matching from such eggs be-
come haxseeds about harvest time, and
many remain in this condition in stub
BILE after the wheat is cut. The flies
from this first brood emerge from stub
BILE in time to place their eggs ON fall
wheat for the second brood, which pass
the winter as faxseeds. The injury
done in fall consists in checking and
killing the plant. Infested wheat is
recognized by its unhealthy color. The
spring brood of grubs also destroys the
young plants, but more often the wheat
gets its growth and then breaks down
because Of the injury done to the lower
part of the stem.
In bulletin from the Kentucky ex-
pertinent station in connection with late
plantinS two other procedures are adj
vised during outbreaks. First is that Of
burning over stubble fields as soon as
possible after !he wheat is cut for the
purpose of destroying all faxseeds that
remain in the stems. The second prac-
tice is the planting of small plots Of
very early wheat as lures to the flies, SO
as to entice them into depositing their
eggs before the regular crop comes up.
The wheat Of the plots can then be de-
stroyed by deep plowing or otherwise.
These practices have the sanction Of
the most recent and thorough study Of
Hessian fly injury. 1t is believed that

He Feels Sure OF Republican Victor
and Gives His Reasons.


New YORK, Oct. 17.-Biaine arrived at
the Fifth Avenue hotel this afternoon.
His arrival interested politicians in the
corridor. The Republicans seemed de-
lighted, but the Democrats quite the re-
verse. When Blaine's attention was
called to the report that he would write
another letter, he said: ~ would not
want to answer directly. If / say no l
shall be besieged by people who will beg
me to do so, saying it is the thing for the
party; it l say yes | shall be requested to
go hither and yon and won't know which
way to turn. So you see the only thing
for me to do is to rest. l am obliged to
take good care of my health" Blaine
looks better than when he went to the
farm.
Regarding the campaign Blaine bases
confidence as to the result of the election on
what he himself has seen and from reports
made to him by Republican leaders. Tn
a campaign of argument and discussion,
such as this has BEEN" says the Maine
statesman, 'everything is in our favor.
for we have the better side of
the argument in the questions before the
people. Besides this, President Har-
rison has given the country an able
administration. All that is now
needed to insure Republican victory
and continuation of prosperity through
out the country IS for the Republican
voters to cast the ballots. With our full
strength out / regard success as almost
certain"

Dime Novel Reader Turns Outlaw.

LEApvILLE, Col, Oct 17.-Herman Tru-
man, IS years old. son of A. S. Truman,
with several companions secured 200
pounds of giant powder and placed it in a
small mine near his fathers residence, with
the intention to kill his father, mother,
little brother and sister. against whom he
had fancied grudge. The powder was
exploded by long fuse, and Truman's
residence. as well as that of Pc
ter Breene, next door, was almost
wrecked. Miraculously none of the
inmates were seriously injured. It was
found that the boy had stolen 5000 be-
longing to his father and taken refuge
with a partner in a cave twelve miles
from town. Officers have gone to
arrest them. AS Truman is a victim
of the dime novel habit and is
armed, it is probable he will resist. The
explosion caused hundreds of dollars
damage, and several houses must be en-
tirely rebuilt.

MICHIGAN ELECTION LAW VALID.
Decided by Supreme Court-This Gives
Electors to Cleveland,


Electors to Cleveland.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 1.-THE United
States supreme court, by Chief Justice
Fuller, today reaffirmed the judgment of
the Michigan supreme court, uphclding
the choice of presidential electors by con-
gressional districts instead of by the state
as whole. The court holds that the
fourteenth amendment to the United
States does not limit the right of state to
fix the mode of choosing electors. 1t is
conceded that the effect of the decision
is to give part, at least, of the Michigan
electoral vote to Cleveland. The opinion
is unanimous.
Chief Justice Fuller, in announcing the
conclusion of the court, said the announce
ment was made at this time because Of
the exigency suggested by counsel requir-
ing early action. Hereafter the court
would file an opinion setting forth more
fully the grounds of the decision. On the
question of jurisdiction, which point the
Democrats waived, the chief justice said
the court ruled that under section 700 of
the Revised Statutes it had jurisdiction.
The chief justice said further that the
court ruled that in view of the language of
the clause of the constitution giving to
state legislatures the right to determine
the method of choosing presidential elec-
tors, and contemparaneous construction,
it cannot be held invalid for want of the
state legislature to pass such alaw, adding
that the clause of the first section Of ar
ticle of the constitution is not changed
by the fourteenth amendment and the
law is not obnoxious to that amendment.
