More About the Australian Bugs.


EDITORS HERALD: In your issue OF
today you have published an account
OF an interview with A. s. Chapman
and letter from Albert Koebele, which
is an excellent illustration of how dis
torted q mans vision or intellect may
become.
The world may excuse some men OF
ignorance, as the foundation OF knowl-
edge in some cases require to be laid
some generations back, but it will never
excuse such insinuations as the article
In this morning paper conveys.
Mr.. Chapman says Professor Coquil-
lett informed him that he never re-
ceived any of the phigobius. | expect
Mr.. Chapman misunderstood or mis-
quoted what was said, as everyone knew,
and this paper, believe, published the
fact that they had been received, and
Mr.. Koebele's letter reveals in what
condition they came and why they were
returned. AS Mr.. Chapman may not
understand why they were put in alco-
hol, may inform him it was because
they were dead on arrival.
Ii Prof. Coquillett dosed these insects
as you insinuste, was it likely that he
would have sent them thus to A. Koe-
belle? Does the murderer preserve the
bodies OF his victims and send them to
the police station?
Now, as to that Shalpochares moth,
does Prof. Coquillett not tell truthfully
what he did with it? True, he does not
tell the reason why because he is writ
ing to an entomologist, who did not re-
auired to be- told, but as Mr.. Chapman
is not quite within the pale he shall be
enlightened.
You will observe, Mr.. Chapman, that
the professor found that Koebele's moth
belonged to two species and the best
thing to do was naturally to test the
larvae produced on testing, as he in
forms you, the Shalpochares Larvae were
were found to be of little use and 30
were destroyed, (at least presume eo).
This is what is done by every
thoughtful entomologist, as one might
in liberating unknown insects introduce
a pest which might rival the Gipsy
moth in liberated by an experimenting
naturalist about Is years ago, and now
the state of Massachusetts is devastated
in a manner that threatens to exter-
inmate many of it's shrubs and trees.
The state has passed law to compel
its destruction, and last year spent $685.
600 in fighting it.
That is one of many scores OF exam
ples which might have been adduced to
support Prof. Coouillet's action.
What proof is there in assuming that
thess moths would at that time have
bred, even if useful? Lelong himself
failed to breed them. DR.. Haywards of
Alameda reported that he never saw
troce of them in any stage. Mr.. Cooper
and DR.. Sidebottiom failed at Santa Bar
bars. and of the few bred and liberated
by Coquillett here, where are they and
what have they done?
| am sorry, dear editor, to occupy 30
much of your space, but when anyone
presuming to be man makes such
childish insinuations relating to the in
tegrity of such a conscientious servant
of the state one has to resort to primary
methods to enlighten him. Next!

POMONA, Oct. 30.-Rev. F. W. Adams

The ladies of the Baptist church, by
their taste and faithful handiwork, had
the pulpit and altar exquisitely deco

flowers and floral designs yesterday.
Noticeable among the latter were two
hsrps, two anchors and one Tyre, in the
makeup whicn various coiored chrys-
anthemums figured. The pastor, Rev.

attempted runaway from the special
injunction of the Master to 20 to and
warn Nineveh of her only 40 days' pro-
baton ere her final destruction, namely,
What Is Thy Occupation? Whence
CONTEST Thou?
AS previously announced, the subject
OF Rev. F. M. Bowling, in the pulpit of
the Christian church, at both morning
and evening service was, The Facts OF
Miracles, and the evening dissertation
was pronounced learned and excellent
expose OF the subject matter. There
wss very large attendance. A series
of protracted meetings was announced
to begin at the church on the evening
OF November let, in which the pastor
will be assisted by Prof. Hagerman of
San Diego. A cordial invitation to the
public was given.
A "hard times social" is announced
for this evening at the residence of G.
r. johnson on Holt avenue near Carey.

that Mrs. f. @. Chapman and her enter
tanning, fun-loving little sister, Miss Ora
Cargill, leave tomorrow for a two

The dedication of the first and only build

all public purposes occurred on Friday,
October 20.
Company G, Third Regiment, Michigan
National Guards, known as the Owosso
Light Infantry, is now the owner of one of
the finest armory buildings in the state of
Michigan. and it was turned over to the
company last Friday by the building COM
mittee completed structural monument
to the energy, enterprise and good business
ability of the young men belonging to it. No
city of 10000 inhabitants in this part of the
country has an armory to compare with it,
and but few cities would aid and encourage
military company in attempting, without
funds, to build one. 1t is another example
of the great things being done by the young
men of this age, and shows that those in
Owosso are on the highest level.
The formal exercises began in the fore
noon when Company G, in command of
Captain f. III. Gould, led by the city band,

Mr.. Parkill introduced the Governor, and
as he stepped forward he was greeted by
prolonged cheers, a worthy reception for
worthy man.
The Governor said in part: 1t was not
his first visit to Owosso. He hoped it would
not be the last. On the occasion of his visits
he had seen enterprise, business ability and
prosperity exhibited on all sides. The
factories had been running, were running
and he thought would continue to run SO
long as such a generation as were now here
lived. On many public occasions had large
numbers of people gathered in this city.
Factories had been started, churches had
been dedicated, soldiers had been enter
tanned, conferences had been held and in
each the city had done itself proud. On
this occasion only another example of the
public spirit and its results was displayed,
and he was glad to be able to take part in it.
The citizen soldier had his turn. Why have
the militia at all? For the same reason that
we all save-for time of need. America
followed different plan from that of foreign
nations. No large standing armies were
kept to intimidate the people. We do not
have to increase because the others do. The
burden of support is almost more than they
can maintain. Their soldiers give unwil-
ling service. Never has this country regretr
ted the dependence on volunteers and do
not believe it ever will. Those opposed to
the militia must acknowledge the wisdom of
being protected by it from foreign anarchists
and insurrectiOn within and dangers of a
sea coast and foreign neighbors. The men,
bers are not more soldiers-they are more
citizens. They are absent from their busi-
ness so little that it can scarcely be noted,
yet they are always ready and the fact of
the existence of the mere organization is
often able TO arrest disaster. Members and
! eX-members are ready in times of trouble
| May God forbid another bloody war-but
the millennium has not been reached, and we
must be reasonably prepared The intense
citizenship of our volunteer soldiery is such

that even when scores of opportunities were
offered for man to declare himself dictator
such a thing was scorned and their work
led to hOnOrs given by a free republic-the
best government the sun shines upon. -
What are the militia? Men whose inter-
ests are the same as yours; who have more
than the ordinary interest in law and order;
whose character Is a guarantee that the
might of the organization will never be used
except on the side of right. Citizens first
soldiers when duty calls. This grand build
ing is not only benefit to the city of
Owosso but protection to IL, to the state of
Michigan and to the United States govern
ment.
The officers in foreign armies are the ap-
pOlntees of the sOyereign-unsatisfac
generally TO their men. Here they are en-
rolled by their sense of honor and chosen by
their comrades. Discipline upon honor Is
best
OwOss0 had, in building the armory,
shown as in other things its intelligent good
sense and judgment, and that God helps
them who help themselves was evident.
The people had taken hold and unitedly, as
in other things, had secured the best results.
He thanked the citizens for the invitation
and believed that occasions of this kind
would continue to be celebrated where unity
and public spirit were so apparent
Preceding Judge s. b. Daboll's address
''Berglied" was sung by the quartette, G..
Luckeman, A. Setback, G. Reineke and A.

Judge Daboll was warmly greeted. He
said that on leaving home his daughter
had asked him what company was i'm Owos-
so. He replied Company G, and she was
much surprised that having been i'm the
state troops such a short time the company
should be "way up i'm G already" He
knew now, however, that the company was
up in q in tactics in sociablity and in busi-
ness ability. He was proud as neighbor
to be present at such a time.

Stanley 4. Parkill, presiding, called upon

English "The Star Spangled Banner" and
were applauded for their excellent effort.
First Lieut.. A. S. Bliss, one of the best
posted and most military loving men in the
state, read short history of the company.
His remarks were frequently applauded and
his manner of delivery was peculiarly inter-
esting. The history was as follows:

while my name appears on the program as
the one that Is to read the history of the
organization, am not the one originally
chosen. +. +. Bumps, of our company,
assisted by Fred Edwards, were the ones to
do this work, Mr.. Edwards to write 1t up,
and Mr.. Bumps 10 deliver it. Now you
may remember that President Cleveland
wrote the managers of the Worlds Fair that
he could not possibly come over to close the
Fair, so our Mr.. Bumps has gone over for
that purpose. Had he remained here as he
should, you would, no doubt, have been
amply repaid for your time in listening to It,
As to Mr.. Edwards, he belongs TO our fire
department, and rather than do any
work on this has hired someone to set three
or four fires which have occurred in the last

buildings, erected at an expense of four or
five million dollars, to show the BLASTED
Furiners" what progress this country has
made in the 400 years that had elapsed since
Christopher Columbus had discovered by
sailing west he could not arrive at India.
That their visit was a bowling success was
evident by the medals, souvenirs and sand
wiches with which they were laden OH their
return.
August 0, 1893, the Company made its
second trip to the regular annual encamp-
ment at Island Lake, and it was noted by
the more experienced members how quickly
the boys adjusted themselves to their sur
roundings, being settled in about an hour
after arriving while the previous year it
took day or so. 1t does not take the
average American soldier boy very long to
learn that the Lord helps those who help
themselves, and if they want am extra
board or two for their hunks they must get
right out and snare it. This encampment
like the previous one passed off very pleas
antly, and the Company still retained its
position at the head of the Regiment, at
volley firing, while one of its members was
one of four in the whole regiment to take

At this camp an election for Junior
Major was held at which our Captain Paul
M. Roth, was unanimously elected to the
position.
Upon our return from camp, the state of
our finance indicated that some tall hustling
must be done to complete the armory, and
so roller skating, ten cent dances and all
honorable means were used TO lessen the

result that this summer we have made

one played upon the stage, but the grand
finale was when the boys voted their second
years pay, amounting to $4S5, to the ar
mory fund, and it is hard to believe when
they look around this beautiful building and
realize and appreciate the fact, that they
own ali interest in it, that they can regret
it. We have eeen informed by those sup
posed to know that this is the finest armory

day or two, and between fires has done
nothing but get ready for the next, which
he knew would occur shortly.
Friday night, April oath, 1891, about
sixty young men met at the city hall of this
city, pursuant to notices circulated during
the week, for the organization of military
company. Paul M. Roth addressed the
meeting and Informed them that bill was
then pending in the legislature, relative to
the increasing of the state troops by four
companies, and that this city was situated
geographically for the location of one Of
them; that with proficiency in drill the In
spectOr General would be inclined to recon-
mend company in this portion of the state.
A great deal of enthusiasm was exhibited
and the required quota was speedily en-
rolled. The officers elected were: Captain,
Paul M. Roth; 1st Lieut., Fred. Ii. Could;
I'd Lieut., M. Roy Osburn. After his cleo
tion, Capt Roth commenced to give the
company their first lessons in military
tactics, being ably assisted by the other
officers.
No one can know, outside of the officers
and few kindred spirits in the company,
how many, many times the project of the
organization of company came near being
abandoned during the months which inter-
vened between its organization and admit
tance to the State Troops. A member here
would become discouraged by drilling so
long without fire arms, another member
would remove to some distant part of the
state, thereby causing vacancy. Another
would remain member but would not at
tend drills or show very much interest in
the company. But finally the eventful day
arrived when the matter was to be decided,
and it was found that OwOssO hal won,
with the aid of Col. Byerly, who was a
member of the State Military Board at the
time, e. A. Todd and other influential citi-
zens. October %, 1891, they were mus
tered in as State Troops and assigned to the
Third Regiment, Michigan National Guards.
On July %, 1892, they received their uni
forms and equipments and that evening
were invited to participate in a street parade,
which was highly gratifying to their friends
and relatives who lined the sidewalks.
August II, 1892, the company went into
camp with the Michigan State Troops at
Island Lake, being the first company to
arrive on the grounds. While it was their
