THE DISEASE OPERATING,

Prof. Otto Lugger was in the city
Thursday looking after his infection
boxes. He states that the disease is
operating upon the bugs in the corn
fields much better that in the wheat
fields, as the conditions for the
spread Of the disease are much better.
The bugs congregate upon the corn
stalks in large number, close together
and moisture forms about them. He
has received many reports of the bugs
being entirely destroyed in the corn
fields, and sometimes there were so
many dead bugs that they could be
scooped up by the handful. The
weather has been too dry for the dis
ease to spread in the wheat fields, as
moisture is absolutely necessary.
Prof. Lugger states that the north
ern part of the state is suffering from
California grasshoppers, which are
sweeping everything. They are
working south, and he thinks that
next year they will do greater damage
to the farmers, but does not think
that they will get this far south, at
least not for two years. He is MAX
ing a study of them in the hope that
something may be discovered which
will check them, as not much is
known concerning them
The county board appropriated 800
at it's recent meeting to aid in con-
tinuing the experiments against
chinch bugs. Many other counties
have appropriated similar amounts.
and the money is we'll invested

A GOOD CONTRACT.

Alderman Widell has returned from
successful business trip to Mime
apolis. While there he secured the
contract for furnishing a hundred car
loads of stone for the Peavy Elevator
20. This company will erect new
elevator in Minneapolis, and Manka-
to stone will be used wherever stone
is needed. The contract amounts to
$4,000 to $4,000.
Mr.. Widell has done very well to
keep the quarries operating to the ex-
tent that they have this year. and
if he can do so well in dull wear
there is no predicting the extent of
the work that he might secure dur
ing prosperous season. AS it is.
Mr.. Widell is doing good thing for
the city.

1T WORKS WELL.

MankatO has become center of dis
tribution for the chinch bug disease
spores, and applications are coming in
thick and fast. Diseased bugs have
only been sent where live and healthy
bugs have been forwarded, and the
following are among the places thus
supplied: Hutchinson, LIE Sueur, Lee
Sueur Center, Annendale, Monticello,
Kingston, Buffalo, Eden Valley Carver,
Litchfield, Brownton, Grove City,
Blue Earth City, Jordan, Amboy,
Vernon Center, Madelia, Mapleton,
Good Thunder, New Prague, Litch-
field, East Union, Kilkenny, Belle
Plaine, Watkins, Forest City, Bel
grade, Castle Rock, Glencoe, Randolph,
Northfield, Waterville, Maple Lake,
Mannanah.
In all, including the farmers Of this
county, about 500 packages of disease
spores have been sent out. 1t is only
intended that the contents of each
package shall be used to start an in
lection box. The disease never leaves
bug which has once contracted it,
and when the proper weather condi-
tions come it will develop at once.
Whenever few damp days and nights
come, the disease will spread rapidly
in all the fields where it has been
tried and is now working slowly.
The most conspicuous success that
has been attained with the disease
was that of Daniel Edwards, of Jud-
son. He was one of the first to get a
supply of disease spores, and there
were two or three showers inn
mediately afterwards. He got three
of the small packages, and divided
two with a couple of his neighbors tC
start infection boxes. The third he
emptied in one corner of six acre
field of barley which was alive with
bugs. Four days later he came in and
reported the field covered with skel
etons of the dead bugs, and the few
that were still alive had the disease
He has since met with good success in
other fields.
Mr.. MarstOn, who has farm neal
Lake Crystal, was in the city Thurs.
day and brought can of bugs taken
from corn field, to exchange fol-
spores. 1t was found on examination
by w. S. Howe, who has personal
charge of the two infection boxes at
the big mill, that many of the bugs in
the can had the disease, and many
were dead.
The Cooper brothers and Walter
Henry, who live on the Little Cobt
river, report having killed off large
part of the bugs on their farms with
the diseased bugs.
Mr.. Howe states that twO-thirds OF
the farmers using the disease report
more or less success. He considers
that there is no longer any doubt
about the success of the disease in
cleaning out the bugs.

Last June Dick Crawford brought
his twelve-mOnth-old child, suffering
from infantile diarrhoea, to me. 1t
had been weaned at four months old
and had always been sickly. l gave it
the usual treatment in such cases but
without benefit. The child kept
growing thinner until it weighed but
little more than when born, or per-
hapS ten pounds. l then started the
father to giving Chamberlain's Collie.

fore one bottle of the % cent size had
been used amarked improvement was
seen and it's continued use cured the
child. Its weakness and puny consti-
tuition disappeared and its father and

saved by this remedy. j. Il. MARROW.

THE CROPS.
Good Thunder Herald.

Good Thunder Herald
Rye and barley have been about
harvested and in several instances
oats are being cut, while the harvest
ing OF wheat is matter of but a few
days. The extremely hot and dry
weather of the past two weeks has
tended to ripen all grains quite rapidly
and the result will be a lighter crop
than would otherwise been the result.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather conditions, the drouth and
chinch bug pest, we are free to say
that Blue Earth county will raise her
quota Of the worlds cereals and of a
quality, the best. Although some
pieces of wheat, on high, sandy soil,
that have been infested with the
bugs, may not yield over 10 or Il
bushels per acre, there are adjoining
fields that will readily yield % to 30
bushels per acre. The heads are I'M
usually long and the berry plump and
well filled. With oats, flax, rye and
barley the yield will be at least an
average. Corn and potatoes are at
present hard to tell, as it may even
tassle out with small stalk and yet the
ears be quite as heavy and well formed
as in the case of larger and more Wig
OrOuS stalks.

SOMETHING WONDERFUL.

The new process of preserving fruit
in cold water, that has been ex-
planned, free to all, for the past week,
at True & cCadden's corner of Front
and Jackson Sts., is certainly the
most wonderful thing of the kind ever
seen in Mankato and well worth the
time OF anyone, especially the house

process.
Many of our citizens who attended
the worlds fair will remember with
pleasure the fine exhibition of fruits

The Merchant Accused of Betrayirg
Very Young Girl.

for many years of the late Thomas Bell,
the California-street millionaire, and at
present executor of his estate, is made the
defendant in sensational suit, the papers
of which were fled in the Superior Court
yesterday.

younger sister named Lulu is also SAID TO
have accepted the same hospitality.
1t is alleged that Alma Josselyn lived
with sle Staacke family from 1886 TO De-
cember, 1891, with the exception of two
years absence, dating from August, 1882
o August, 1891. During the year 1887 it Is
charged that Staacke deliberately took ad
vantage of the confding innocence of his
young ward. and accomplished her ruin.

year on January 81. 1894. so that the suit

mands 500, 600 damages. Dennis Spencer,

VETERANS HOME BILLS.
The Claims of Contractors Badly
Tangled Up.

Op.
The directors of the Veterans Home
were kept busy for nearly four hours last
night with discussions over bills of con-
tractors against the institution, Every
separate bill brought up new tangle in
one place or another and frequently caused
ID uch acrimonious debate
The first bin considered was Contractor
Wards claim of 1892, which the inyes-
tigating committee had reduced S1O3. and
recommended that only S1219 50 be paid.
Accordingly motion was made to paw the
lesser amount, provided Ward would sign
a receipt IN full. This Ward refused to
do, and after prolonged debate, and no
end of elOQueDce from one or two taikative
mem brrS. 1t was agreed to pay the amount
less S103, for which the contractor will still
hold a claim.
The same contractor was awarded S341
as 70 per cent of second payment on his
contract. j. w. Ruddock was awarded
S43S as 75 per cent of second payment on
mbiug contract A warrant for $500
was drawn in favor OF William Il. Wharf,
the architect. which is one-thrd of what
he claims. SuDdry bills aggregating 1867 02
were passed.
Contractor Jones protested against bill
for art glass IN the medical directors house
which cost S118. He claims that there
was nothing about art glass in the specif-
cation signed by him, but Architect Wharf,
ordered the glass and became responsible
Tor ii. AS to this there is a dispute which
the courts will have to settle, and mean
while Jones will get $685. 81, the amount
of his contract, less Sis and a margin for
