PSECIOUS BUGS.

Grange growers In the San Gabriel
and San Bernardino valley tell an in
teresting story of how they destroyed
q pest which threatened the destruc-
ton Of the industry in this country.
A few years ago the trees were attacked
by an insect known as scale So rap
idly did the pest propagate that within
few weeks the bark Of the trees was
white with them Drastic remedies
were applied, but without avail So
serious was the outlook that many OF
the growers were on the point OF cut
ting down their immense groves One
day e young man suggested a novel
plan for the speedy determination Of
the pest He said that there existed in
Australia species Of lady bug which
existed on insects that cling 70 trees
He received consignment Of thirty
eight OF these bugs by the next steam

trees and probably one hundred thos-
sand million scale on al OF them

a COSTLY OBJECT LESSON.

The farmer also has been the victim
Of the victory of 1892. A writer and
statistician, in the New York Press, not
only undertakes, but conclusively shows
that in addition to all the shrinkage of
stock values and of realities and personal
properties of every conceivable descrip-
ton, that the present Democratic poll
cy and administration has cost the far
mers of America in shrinkage in the
prices of wheat and live stock alone the
sum of five hundred and sixty million of
dollars. $500, ,000,00O Cleveland's own
secretary of agriculture estimates the
loss on farm stock in 1894 as compared
with the prices of 1892 at $500, ,93S, 944 !,
or more than half of all the amount
shown by the writer referred to.
As the New York Herald, forgetting
its Democracy and loyalty to Cleveland,
cried out in its distress last week to con-
gress: "Let the Mckinley law alone,

KILL TIE WILSON BILL.

The hard times of the past year will
be greatly increased by the passage of
the Infamous Wilson bill Every posi-
BILE effort should be made to defeat the
measure-to delay it in any event. We
can better afford a few months of un-
certainty than four years of general
adversely, suffering and distress. Under
the most favorable circumstances, the
Wilson bill, if it become law, cannot
be changed until the summer of 1897.
We earnestly recommend that
United States senators, irrespective
of party, defeat or by every parlia-
mentary method delay, the passage of
this measure.
On Nov. 6, the people will have an op-
portunity to speak-their verdict must
be awaited.

down in his attempt to manage one lone
Kansas woman. Speaking of women
and females, however, the governor
comes back saying that he will reor-

THAT LITTLE PICTURED FACE.
by MRS. j. n. KNAPP

o, the charm. the witching grace,
OF that little pictured face.
That smiles on one from out the frame.
Above her forehead srnoo tn and fair,
Are little rings of golden hair;
Like yellow silk of ripe ming grain.
Her laughing face seems to caress,
The dimpled arr. her cheek doth press,
Those perfect arms like snow flakes gleam
Twin stars, her eyes, so soft and bright.
No lovlier stars Hume the night.
Than those dark eyes that softly beam.
AS gaze upon her face so sweet,
Seem to hear her dancing feet;
And press her cheeks. where roses bloom
While softly falls upon my ear
The sound of laughter sweet and clear
AS warblirg birds in leafy June.
o, may life's path be smooth and bright;
May shadows flee before the light.
That brightly shines along thy way;
May friendship ever faithful be,
May love be always trae TO thee;
As stars that shine through endless day.

NEW CANp1pATEs FOR GOVERNOR.

E. w. Hoch of Marion, in letter to
the editor of the Topeka Mail announces
his willingness to be considered candi-
date for governor. The letter is nearly a
column in length in which, after refer
ing TO the MANY letters received by him
!. from all parts of the state urging him to
consent, he writes at length touching his
conceptions of the duties and response
bilities of the exalted position, viewing
it as sacred trust rather than a party
emolument and deprecating the rule
which renders it necessary for man to
seek the Office. He in very emphatic
words enters his protest against this rule
of self seeking and pre-arrangement
whereby rich men hold an ad-
vantage over poor ones and
which puts premium on
impudence and mediocrity that throws
modesty to the winds, squanders time
and money and character in wild wire
pulling policy for a position Of such
dignity. Friend Hoch might remember
that a candidate of two years ago in op-
position to just that kind of thing got
beautifully left. and that he himself
nominated the man who had set up his
own candidacy by nursing the f4ers OF
almost every municipality throughout
the state. He further says that lie had
hoped that there would be no "candi-
dates" for governor this year, closing
with the declaration that if the party
should call him to the front, untram-
meled by pledges or promises, that he
would try to bear the banner unsullied
to the victory which awaits the party in
November.
Colonel D. n. Heizer Of Great Bend,
who was present at Topeka, in an inter
view in the Capital, confirmed the re-
port that he was being urged to become
a gubernatorial candidate for nomlna-
ton before tie Republican state conven-
tion. He had considered the express
sions in the light of neighborly prefer
ence, but the solicitations had widened
until his section of the state seemed so
united that he had made up his mind to
let his name go before the convention.
Colonel Heller stands, as he claims, the
candidate of the Big Seventh. He said,
and very truthfully, that the western
portion of the state was the most af-
fected by Populism. But all this was in
casual way, and no doubt Colonel
Heizer will be out in more formal
way.

dates for the Republican nomination for
