WENDELL EAsToN's LECTURE.

and Beet Sugar Making.
tomorrow evening, at the Grand opera

and its resources, with special referen ce
to the beet sugar MISUNDERSTANDING

Chino. The lecture will be illustrated
by means of fine steriopticon views, and
will be we'll worth seeing.
The beet sugar industry has become
one of the most valuable in Southern
California. But few people outside of
those directly interested have much
knowledge OF the details. This lecture
will be, therefore, of an economic as

The Profaaaor Bug.

Santa Blade: The alarming and
vociferous presence in quantity of q
new form Of horticultural parasite gener-
ally known as the Professor Bug (Pro-
fessor Vociferans) suggests danger not
wholly counted in the bill when we
initiated the policy of importing tender
foot bugs to devour our own predatory
insect tribes. Already there is pro-
fessor to every bug, and while their
Australian petB are devouring our own
wicked insects the professors are living
off the country in larger and more
costly sense.
Call the roll:
Professor Riley.
Professor Coquiliet.
Professor Koebsle.
Professor Cooper.
Professor Lelong.
Professor Pierce.
Professor Craw.
Professor Scott.
Every county in the State is more or
less infested, and to print the list would
make the taxpayer sick, sore and sorry.
Naturalists delight to tell us that in ac-
cordance with the benefcent design OF
an All-wise Providence everything in
nature is provided with something on
which to prey, and in turn is the object
of pursuit for something else-an ar.
rangement which meets with their gen.
erous applause. In the present instance
the chain of destruction appears ) run
like this:
The scale bug preys on the orange
tree; the Australians eat the scales and
the professor bug lives off the tender
feet from Australia. The manifest
remedy for the professor bug would be
to discover come parasite greedy for
his meat, but there 10 some hope that
perhaps this will be unnecessary, for
from appearances they are ready to de-
vour each other on the immemorial plan
OF dog eat dog. They are arrayed in
hostile camps and are conducting Jaw
fight with all the volubility of modern
champion fisticuffer. The public would
look on with amusement and quiet
mind if there were reasonable prospect
that they might destroy each other, but
40 far as heard from the only thing that
has suffered is the treasury.
The great discovery on which their
claim that the county owes them a liy-
ing is based consists of the application
of the parasite theory, but it is more
than $50 years since the bitter dean of
st. Patrick's told the world that:
Big fieas have little feas
Upon their bac ks to bite 'em
And small feas have smaller feas
And so ad adhnitum.
The trouble is that the chain-ga OF
parasites is getting too long, and in the
last resort the support of one and all
comes out of the farmer. He, poor in

DUPED A BOY.
A Confidence Man Beats a Lad
Out Of $25.
GIVES HIN A WORTHLESS CHECK.

Martin vondixon Meets . Man on q Train
and ss Takce In by Him-The Only Rea-
son He pid..'t Get More Wa. Because
he Dtdn't Ask.
Martin Vondixon, a lad about, IL
or ls years old, while coming in on q
train from Cedar Rapids yesterday,
became acquainted with a fellow
passenger of winning appearance, to
say nothing of his powers as ling
uist. The boys journey ended in
Davenport and the mans in Rock
Island, but it seems that before they
parted in Davenport the boy said he
was in search of work. and the good
% man told him to call upon him at
the Rock Island house. and he would
give him position. This morning.
bri ght and early, the boy called at
the Rock Island house, and finding
the man. the two proceeded up
toward the Harper house. When on
the steps of the hotel the man turned
to the boy. and in a very socia bic
manner said:
Say, have vou any money!"
Yes, sir; l have S25," said the
boy.
We'll give it to me, and take this
check back TO the Rock Island house
and have it cashed.''
The boy promptly gave him the
money. and took the check to the lat
ter place to cash it. When he opened
it and found il was for s.. and was
drawn on Cummings 4 Co.. Des
Moines, and endorsed by John Brown
X Co. The check. of course, was
worthless, and upon being informed
of this. the lad went to the Harper
house. but the bird had flown, and
with him the SIS.
Tells His Troubles to the Police.
The boy then proceeded to the po-
lice station, and told Chief Sexton
and Officer Etzel. of the manner in
which he had been duped. and search
for the man was at once made. but
he could not be found. Officer EtZel
questioned the boy closely. and was
made acquainted with the facts.
One question was asked. upon the
officer seeing the boys watch still in
his possession. rs follows:
How does it happen you didn't
give HIM Your watch?'
why. he didn't ask me for that"
..wonld you have given it to him
il he had asked you?"
YES, guess l would"
So from all appearances it seems
that the boy was SO soft that had the
man asked him for his clothes he
would have in all probability given
them to him.
The confidence man is described as
being of medium height and build.
black full beard. black stiff hat. blue
eyes. blue pants with black stripe.
and gray oyercOat. So far no trace
Of him can be found. The police of
Davenport have been notified. how
