An Insect Within Causes 1t to Move
About Mysteriousiy.

A remarkable curiosity is a nut
which grows At Hermosillo. Sonoro.
Old Mexico. says the Pioneer Press.
II is called the nuez del diablo, which
means the nut OF the devil. Saturday
afternoon Major Davis, who is just
now holding down Colonel Barbcr's
chair as adjutant general in the de-
partment of Dakota, was sitting in
his easy chair contemplating a half
dozen of the meats of these nuts,
which had just been sent North by an
officer of the regular army who is
now in Mexico.
The meats were dancing about in "A
very mysterious way, and the report
er and several others who were
watching the strange performance
were completely mystified.
I'm tell you what is the matter
with those meats" said the major.
I'm not going to give away my trick
When man learns good sleight-of-
hand performance is he going to give
it away for nothing? guess not.
The nuts continued TO dance and
Lieutenant Sturgis, who was as much
in the dark as the reporter, began a
critical examination of the crazy OBJ
iects supposed to be inanimate.
"Oh, yes, l think have the trick, "
said the lieutenant. There is some
thing alive in these meats There Is
u strange throbbing in them.n
The reporter picked up one OF the
meats, and, surely enough, there was
a very peculiar throbbing sensation
in il.
The major was so thoroughly
amused by this time that he could
not longer withhold the secret. II
seems that a worm is born on the in
side Of the meat Of this nut and that
it lives there for some weeks and
dies without seeing the light Of day.
The worm eats out the inside OF the
meat, then becomes restive and moves
about a great deal. Ii is in this
period that the nuts become appar-
emily animate. The moving Of the
worm causes the nut to turn about.

NEW COMMISSIONERS.

AS some uncertainty prevailed re-
garding the time when the new COM
missioners of the various counties were
to begin there terms, Attorney General
Haskell has rendered a decision fixing
November 4th, 1898, as the date.
The matter is determined by section
1 of the state constitution, which says:
''In each county there shall be elected
three county commissioners whose
term of office shall be four years."
The state constitution provided for the
election of n complete set of county
and township officers whose terms
were to commence with the admission
of the state into the union, and except
in the case of county commissioners. a
given date was named on which such
terms we're to end. 1t is concluded,
therefore, that section 4 governs the
matter. and that the terms Of the pres
ent commissioners will expire foul
from the date of the admission
of the state, which occurred on Novem-
Der Sth, 1889.
The terms of the commissioners who
take office on November Sth, 1888, will
expire on the first Monday in January,
1890. At the general election to be
held next year, three county commits
sions will again be voted for-one to be
elected for a term of two years and
two for a term of four years. The COM
missioners who will take office on No
vember next were elected q year ago,
and the question was voted upon at
that time because no general election

According to the eastern press times
are gradually improving throughout

A month or three weeks ago, when a man
ran his eye along the columns of a morning
paper it was greeted by a m~onotonous ar
ray of notes of disaster. Bank after bank
WAS closing it's doors. However carefully
the news was conveyed it was sufficient in
itself to create and continue alarm. No
one could feel confidence in the assertion
that times were really improving while he
continued to observe the melancholy and
increasing procession of assignments and
receiverships. 1t was not remarkable that
with "A steady mortality among banks, de-
posts were withdrawn and money became
IL commodity. to be secured in exchange
for equivalent values only by the payment
of "A large premium, All this has been
