Over 1909 packages of diseased
chineh bugs have already been sent
out this spring from the Agricultural
Farm of Kansas. Last year so per
cent of the trials were successful the
20 per cent of failures having been
due to ignorance in handling. 1t is
said that the only drawback to the
complete eradication of the bugs in
Kansas is caused by the refusal of a
few farmers in each community to
try the remedy.

A Washington dispatch says that
"a well known Washington labor
leader has estimated that Coxey is
81, 900 or more ahead on his COM
monweal movement. He declares
that Coxey, from the day he left
home, had been constantly in re-
eeipt of checks, postal notes and
currency from sympathizers in his
movement, and that very little Of
this money has been expended or
his followers, who have lived of
the country, put has been put where
it would do Coxey individually the
most good. At first Coxey took
special pains to have published the
names of contributors to his cause
| with the amounts of their donations.
but this very soon ceased. No one
knows, except Coxey himself, how
much has been donated to the army
| of peace. 1t is asserted that these
contributions aggregate between
$4,000 and $12 900, of which moi
more than one-third is thought tc
have been expended on the army

The Kelly Mistake,
From the st. Louis Star Sayings.

FROM the st Louis Staf-Sayfngs
Commodore Kelly, or Seen"
Kelly, or ex-printer McDennis, or
whoever he is, is gone and has left
behind him a grave suspicion that
we have made fools of ourselves
while he honored us with his pres.
enee. st. Louis hospitality is re,
markable the world over, but in this
instance the less said about it the
better.
The amphibious Coxey leader
seems to have been an ADVENTURE
of the cheapest grade, a man who
was entitled to nj public attention
save that which the city ordinances
provide for those who have no visible
means of support. 1t is hard to
find any warrant for manning the
harbor boat to receive him or for
stripping now poorly police protect
ed districts of North st. Louis to
put a mounted squad at the head OF
his procession. Kelly stood for
nothing and is nothing. The march
of his alleged army is as purposeless
as would be the result of his very
improbable visit to Washington.
Congress knows now all hat the
"Commodores" could tell and more
too. Whatever effectiveness there
was in the Coxey movement ended
when Coxey was run off the grass
in the front of the Capitol.
Many real workingmenin and out
of occupation who have watched the
feasting and lionizing of the Ferry
street campers have drawn no good
moral from it. They have seen that
it is not necessary to labor in order
to eat, drink and be merry, and that
the iunketers who followed Kelly
are better off than the men who re
manned at home doing their best to
look after their families.
The "Star-Sayings," which has
also stood by the workingman when
he was right, is now in the ranks Of
nineteen twentieths of the working
men of st. Louis, whose sentiments
on the subject are fully set forth
above.

Prof. Yancey then took his seat
without having said a word about
the handsome Art medal offered by

of the benediction, still all knew
something was lacking. The audi

hurriedly whispered conversations
were INDUCED in.
w. l.. Boyer, of Marshall, Mo-,
arose from the audience and walked
upon the stage. Mr.. Boyer held in
his hand the Art medal, which he
presented to Miss Gay Yancey. In
presenting the medal Mr.. Boyer said:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: 1t is
with quite a degree of embarrass-
ment that | venture to intrude upon
the pronounced and apparent good
humor of our worthy president. Not
more than once, perhaps, in the life
time of such a character as that OF
the honorable president Of this noble
and worthy institution, does it be-
come necessary to publicly prefer
charges against such a character land
yet, however, such does sometimes
occur, as at this time. 1t therefore
devolves upon me, here and now, in
the presence of this large and intel.
ligent audience to charge President
Yancey with an omission of duty;
said omission being an omission to
present the "art medal" which has
been honorably won by, and justly
awarded to one of the fair daughters
Of this institution, said omission
being caused by his high sense and
appreciation of modesty. If, in at
tempting to voice the sentiment and
verdict of the three competent judges
who have been viewing with a critics
eye, the varied and beautiful works
of art, before which we stood enrap-
tured with their beauty (last even
ing) as they reflected honor and
credit upon the teacher and the
taught, I seem to be awkward, and
| trust it will be remembered that I
am more at home in asking for
gold than in presenting it. There is
a proverb coined on the most sacred
lips: "Render unto Cesar the
things that are Cesar's." Looking
upon this beautiful gold medal, with
its appropriate and beautiful en-
blem and inscription, lifting it far
above its intrinsic value in grains,
we are forced to recognize it as hav-
ing been set apart for a specific pur-
pose. In accordance Herewith /
now present this ''art medal" (of-
fered by Mr.. Charles Buekner to
her who should be most proficient in
art) to Miss Gay Yancey of Mexico,
No.
Miss Yancey, it now gives me
great pleasure to place the medal in
the hand whose skill has thrown up
on the canvass the lite-like picture
which has been pronounced the best.

The tsweet girl graduate" was the
center of interest at Hardin College
last Friday evening.
The programme was a little out OF
the usual order of such exercises, as
no essays were read. This was proba-
bly, due to the size of the class, which
numbered seventeen. This is the
largest class that has graduated at
Hardin College since Prof. Yancey
has had charge. Flowers were not
as plentiful as on former occasions,
although there were many of them.
The custom Of giving flowers has CIV
en- away to that of giving more use
