wintcring Bees on summer stands.


A Massachusetts, bee man who has
wintered bees on the summer stands for
90 years, writes to The American Beo
Journal that he has not met with per
cent of loss. He says:
The great and only secret in my own
locality, where the temperature ranges
from 80 degrees Fahrenheit above TO 90
degrees below zero, is ventilation, with
ample stores, SO placed that the colony
can at all times have access to them.
Cold of itself doesn't kill bees. Lack of
stores and excess of moisture will kill
them every time. If these propositions
are true, and | believe them to be so, the
question of safe wintering is only u mat
ter of such preparation as will insure
plenty Of stores and lack Of moisture.

SMUT N corn.


~ SUMMARY Ok All inc iDFe6tfE3tOf6 Have
Discovered ON This Subject.
Corn smut has been shown to differ
in some important particulars from other
smuts, as those of wheat and oats. In
the smut of oats and the sinking smut
OF wheat the smut germs adhere to the
seed grains and are sown with them.
Both terminate at about the same time.
and the smut enters the young plant
and lives in it, but makes no external
appearance until the Towering time Of
the host plant, when those plants that
are affected show the smut in the heads.
The fungus terminates and natures its
seed simultaneously with the host plant
Therefore any treatment of the seed
which will destroy the adhering smut
spores without injuring the seed Of the
grain will be effectual in preventing tho
smut. This the Jensen treatment with
hot water does.
But experiment has shown that this
and similar treatments of seed corn are
not effectual in preventing corn smut.
Why not? The investigations and ex-
periments Of DR.. Brefeld have shown
that the corn plant may be infected in

Cases in Paris Ended.


PARIS, March 21.-Interest in the Panama
trials has waned considerably during the week
and the assize court, before which the defend
ants are being tried, has not been as crowded
during the latter days Of the trials as it was on
the opening days.
For three or four days pas. counsel for the
defendants have argued in defense Of their re-
spectlye clients, and today NJ. De Mango, who
appeared for Antonin Proust. presented his rea-
sons why Proust should not be convicted I'M
der the indictment for corruption in connec-
ton with the Panama affairs found against him.
He made an able presentation Of his case, en-
deavoring to show the jury that Proust's ac-
ton showed no guilt on his part.
Upon the conclusion Of NJ. De Manages ad-
dress the cases were given 10 the jury, who re-
tired to consider their verdict

AN EX-M. p. ON TRIAL.
Samuel Wesley De Cobain Pleads Not Guilty
to the Charges Against Him.


to the Charges Against Him.
BELFAST, March 21.-The trial of Samuel
Wesley De Cobain, formerly conservative mem
Der OF parliament for the east division Of Bel
fast, began today in this city. De Cobain is
charged with unnatural crimes. The ACCUSE.
tions against him are two in number and in
volve five persons besides himself. De Cobain
pleaded not guilty and appeared to be nom
chalant, il Iotindifferent, in regard to the pro-
ceedings
When first accused of these crimes De Cobain
fed to Spain and from Spain to the United
States, where he set forth as a revivalist in
BROOKLYN until his real character was discov-
cred Then he disappeared from public view
and was heard Of at Belfast, being arrested at
his own residence by detectives who
had reason to believe that he
was there, although the blinds we're
down and the dwelling had the appearance Of
being uninhsbited De Cobain was arraigned
before a magistrate and held for trial. The
case e1cites great interest in Ulster, De Cobain
having been prominent in the Orange frater-
nifty. He declares his innocence, and claims
that he is the victim Of plot, not on the part
of his political antagonists, but of what he calls
members Of the high old tory party in the
north of Ireland

WILL FINALLY REACH THEIR OvSKRs-
Arrangements are being made at the Navy
Department for the distribution Of the medals
presented by the government Of Sweden 10 the
officers and sailors Of the United States steam
ship Baltimore for services rendered in convey
ing the remains of the inventor Ericsson TO hn
native land These medals, which have trsv-
eled pretty nearly around the globe since they
were first taken on board the Baltimore by
Capt Schley, nearly two years ago, are still on
board that vessel A special act OF Congress
was necessary before they could be accepted by
the officers and men. This was passed nearly
a year ago, but the absence Of the baltimore
prevented their distribution before. A letter
has Just been written 10 the commanding Officer
Of the Baltimore directing that the medals be
distributed TO the men for whom they were in
tended. Nearly hundred of the men are still AZ
tached to the Baltimore. The remaining $50 are
pretty well scattered, though the majority sss
still in the service.

SHOCKED THE WHOLE rowN.
FIGURING Mill ut Litchfield, Ill, Wrecked
and . MilIwrf1ht Killed.

LIroHFIELD. ILL.,. March 21.-At $50 o'clock
this morning fire was discovered in the big
Keller Touring mill in this city and despite
the efforts Of the employees it quickly spread
throughout the building. In less than twenty
minutes the flames were beyond control.
While employees and fremen were fighting the
flames terrific explosion caused by flour dust
occurred and the immense structure was blown
to fragments. John Cowie. head millwright.
living at Waterloo. n. Y, was instantly killed
and several employees were seriously injured.
The explosion wrecked nearly every business
house in the village. Many persons were badly
hurt by flying bricks and falling timbers.
The damage to the mill alone will reach
S1,0OO.OOO and other property was damaged
over $50, 900 The shock was felt in the adj
Joining villages of Clyde. Butler, Gillespie and
Hillsboro. In many OF these places the con-
cussion was so great that plate glass windows
were broken.
When the fire started the citizens were
awakened by the ringing Of fire bells and before
many Of them could dress were stunned by the
shock Of the explosion. and the next moment
found the walls of their homes falling upon
them. 1t is not yet known how the fire origi-
mated.
THE INJURED.
Those already known to be badly injured by
flying glass and timbers are: Mrs. R. Eichoride,
Mrs. P. Lynch, John Donohus, Joseph Neuther
and John Kav eney.
Their injuries are severe, but will not prove
fatal. The fire discovered by the night
Waterman in the bran room Of the -four mill
He ran to a hyd-ant, but the water pipes did
not work properly, and in an instant the flames
spread to adjoining rooms.
In less than two minutes the flames reached
the -four rolling room and an explosion Of -four
dust followed. The night Waterman was hurled
through a window and badly injured. Millwright
John Cowie was stunned by the shock and
unable to escape. He was burned to death.
The immense building tottered for a second
and fell in a heap of blazing timbers
The flames leaped across small passageway
elevators were stored 10000 barrels of -four
and 200 600 bushels of wheat
The firemen were driven back by intense
heat, and in less than half an hour the ele-
vators and their contents were a total loss.
Several small buildings adjacent to the ele-
vators were burned.
The shock of explosion was heard twenty-five
miles away and window glass was broken and
chimneys blown down for many miles distant.
Nearly every house for radius Of two blocks from
the mill was badly wrecked. All the plate glass
in the stores on Main and State streets were
blown out.
kehlor Bros. of st. Louis and their loss is esti-
mated at 100000. This is partially COW
cred by insurance. About forty small
dwellings were wrecked and many
others slightly damaged. The Wabash
railway tracks run between the -four mill and
elevators and are covered with debris for dis
lance of 800 feet. The company will only suf =
fer slight Inconvenience. as they will use the
tracks Of other roads at this point
