To KILL CHISCH BUGS.
Illinois Board of Agriculture Makes
an Appropriations.

SPRINGFIELD, I'LL. June PROF.
S. A. Forbes, the State Entomolo-
gist, reports to the State Depart
ment of Agriculture the receipt this
spring OF large number of requests
for advice and assistance on account
of injury by chinch bugs, to small
grain and a prospect of much
greater injury to corn throughout
southern and south central Illinois,
"a counties in that region being at
present more or less involved.
Most of these correspondents wish
material for the introduction of the
contagious diseases of the chinch
bugs into their fields; and the State
Agricultural Experiment Station
has consequently made an appro-
priation sufficient to enable Prof.
Forbes to supply this demand.
Prof.. Forbes says that those wish
ing to avail themselves of the op-
portunity thus afforded TO expert
ment with this method should send
to him at Champaign, Ill. 1 900 to
5, 900 live chinch bugs, inclosed in
a tight tin box from a pint to a
quart in capacity. This box should
be about half filed with green vege-
tation, preferably wheat or corn,
and sent by mail or express, ac-
companied by note of advice. In
return, the Professor will send, with
the least possible delay, a stock oi
infected chinch bugs with full di-
Irections for their use.
/ a circular of information concern
ing this and other better known
methods of defense against the
chinch bugs recommended for use
this season may be had on applica'
ton to the Agricultural Experiment
Station at Champaign, Ill.

makes my blood hot it is to see the
honest man who gets his bread by
the sweat Of his brow looked upon
with contempt, and absolutely ig.
nored by the wealthy class, simply
because he cannot wear gay clothing
and make grand appearance,
while men are looked up to who
happen to have little money and
put on gay apparel, at the same
time it is known that they get their
money by unfair means, even if they
get it by making widows and or
phans and crushing the hearts of
thousands. May change soon
come is to be hoped. 1t seems to me
that all the legislation we have had
in The last thirty years has been
against the toiling millions and in
the interest of wealth, and now we
see the result-all the wealth in the
hands of a few men. Millions of
dollars hid away in the vaults doing
no one any good, at the same time
hundreds OF thousands of men and
women out of work, out of money,
without home, no place TO lay their
heads. This is a sad picture; but
the worst has not been told.

More rioting and destruction of prop.
erty is yesterdays record of the coal
miners strike.
One engagement between miners and
militia took place. Near Farmersburg,
Ind, strikers attacked the pickets OF
the military encamped there and a
sharp tussle ensued, the rioters even
tually taking to the woods. No one
was hurt beyond soldier getting hit
with a brick.
Four of the men implicated in the
murder of Engineer Barr near Brazil
on Wednesday were arrested.
The miners in Tazewell County, Iii.
nois, dispersed after the bloody work
at Little's mines. Governor Altgeld
sent three detachments of troops to
assist the sheriff and nine of the rioters
were arrested.
Ten of the rioters at Gainesville
were placed under arrest.
The troops ordered to Belmont and
Guernsey counties by Governor Me-
Kinley, were obstructed in reaching
there by the miners tearing up the
railway tracks and burning bridges.
In the Cumberland district In Mary
land strikers and pickets of the militia
collided, but the miners fled to avoid
arrest.
Mines at Monown, Pa, were started
with non-union men. All was quiet

From tine Montgomery STANDARD.
!. c. Ringo, of Mexico, who travels
over the Ninth Congressional District
and Boone and Galloway counties,
driving through the country selling
machines TO the farmers, spent Fri
day afternoon in Montgomery. He
reports the wheat looking pretty well,
but the acreage small compared TO the
usual number of acres grown. But
the corn acreage is much larger than
usual, and for a wonder at this season
of the year it is all clean. The season
has been excellent for working the
corn, and the farmers have taken adj
vantage of it, so that weedy piece of
corn is seldom seen anywhere in his
territory. Mr.. Ringo spent several
days in the vicinity Of Prices Branch
and noticed the farmers working the
roads in many places, a iuost unusual
sight at this time of year, as they are
generally hustling just now to get
their corn clean before entering the
harvest of small grain. such a season
is perhaps unknown to the oldest in
haiJftant.

relatives to witness the marriage of

this good man made the two parties
one for time and eternity. The at
tendants were Mr.. Thomas Wright
and Miss Cordie Azdell. After the
usua! congratulations the rewly
married couple with about 10
guests spent few happy moments
partakipg of the many luxuriant
refreshments, tastefully prepared by
Mrs. Wright. The hours there
after till eleven o'clock were spent
in friendly chats in which all pres
ent enjoyed themselves, when the
crowd began to disperse and the
rice and old slippers began to fly.
Among those outside OF the city
who attended were Mrs. Spinney

Their faith in natures God avow.

Wooing the universe to sleep.

about the efforts of the South to
destroy the wool industry of the
North and West, that there was
not a single sheep in the South.
Only one State in the Union has as
many sheep as Texas, and that
State is Ohio, while Kentucky has
more than either Indiana, Illinois OF
Wisconsin. The South is as much
interested in the protection of the
sheep as any other section, but
would rather have a good dog. law

C. &. D.vis' coai Miners Are Sainffr
and Rrfns. ia Quit work-->heriT
stephens Called Upon to pra-
teet Them-He Will Act
Promptly,

Thursday a m. when c. G. Davis
went to his coal shaft to begin work
he found a delegation of fifteen
miners from Vandalia, Welisvile
and Martipsburg, who endeavored
to keep Davis miners from going
down TO work. Mr.. Davis asked
his miners it they had any grievance
and il they wanted to quit Work
They said that their wages were
entirely satisfactory ana all they
wanted was to be let alone and pro-
teeted. The visiting miners tried
to persuade them to stop, but failed
The delegation returned home for
reinforcements, and said they would
be back again shortly.
MIR. Davis informed his force that
he would see the Sheriff and have
deputies appointed, so that they
would be protected from any attempt
to drive them from the shaft. This
is something new, for Mexico to have
people who won't work themselves
try to keep others from working,
and we don't think they will suc'
ceed. Mr.. Davis is preparing to
put eighssor ten more men in the
shalt, and proposes to see if the
men can be driven from work when
prices are satisfactory and all ar
rangements are agreeable. There
is no question but that the Sheriff
and other officers of the law will do
all in their power TO protect the
property and laborers of Mr.. Davis,
and all other citizens of our city and
county.
The leader of the gang who visit
ed the mine was Jack Howard who,
some three or four years ago, was
COW catcher in Mexico, a drunken,
trifling loafer. In pleading with the
men not to go to work he said that
his wife and family had been out of
bread and butter for seven months.
Mr.. Davis suggested that if that was
the case it was time he was going
to work himself, instead oftryiug to
keep others from working.
Sheriff Stephens has chosen force
of deputies and has them all ready
to be sworn in. In company with
Constable Bunton be visited the
mine that afternoon and found every
thing quiet.
