STATE AFFAIRS
And Capital City News of State
Interest.
The HON at snkvIlle.


Topeka delegates who have Just re-
turned from the session of the sovereign
grand lodge Of Odd Fellows at Chat
tanooga, report that the controversy be-
tween the Kansas lodges relative to tho
Orphans home at Silkville was def
ntely disposed of in a written decision
by Chairman Wright, Of tho national
judiciary committee, and approved by
the sovereign body.
The grand lodge Of Kansas at its last
session made an assessment OF $3.50 per
capita to finish the Orphans home IN
Franklin county and to sustain that
home until its next session. Several
lodges thought that the assessment was
too high and claimed that the title to
the homo was not in the grand lodge at
all.
The grand master found il necessary
to interfere and enforce discipline, to
suspend a number OF lodges because
they refused to pay this assessment.
The action Of the sovereign grand lodge
sustains the grand lodge Of Kansas and
the grand master, and refuses to enter
tain the appeal made by these lodges to
the grand sire. This sets forever at
rest any possibility of subordinate lodge
refusing to obey the mandates of the
grand lodge OF state SO far as paying
assessments for an orphans home is
concerned.
Another important point made by the
sovereign grand lodge is that the title of
the Orphans homo Of Kansas is in the
grand lodge OF the state and that tho
trustees cannot under any circumstances
misuse this trust by attempting to di-
vert this property in any direction save
for the purpose stated in the deed.

show any symptoms Of the disease.
The penalty Of opposing the work
ranges fro M $50 to 800 fine, with on

white Glover for Pasture.

White clover is to short and small
to be available for hay making, but
we know of no plant that makes va
better or more enduring pasture
Land that is once well seeded with
white clover is never afterward en-
tirely clear from it. Seeds form in
the heads all through the season, and
they have the faculty of lying in the
ground without injury and growing
whenever favorable chance offers
The plant also spreads by trailing on
the & ound and roofing from the
joints, as a strawberry will do, when
ever there is a soft and moist place to
strike its roots into. --EX.

The frequency with which barns
are struck by lightning has set some
long-headed person to thinking, and
he has figured out that the buildings,
being filled with newly.cut hay and
grain, become generators of heat, the
heat rises in a column several feet
above the barn and attracts the
lightning, which readily follows a
column of moist or hot air. When
the building is reached by the electric
fluid, slivers follow. The remedy
suggested is to throw open the doors
as much as possible and let the
winds blow through, carrying off the
unnatural heat and distributing it.
This will not give perfect protection,
Nothing yet discovered can do that
But it will prevent the iatense heat
ing, the accumulation Of heat and
vapOr, and will consequently break
up the danger column to a great eX-
tent, and probably reduce the liabil-
ity by one-half.

Hale says, he secs men on the street
who formerly relied solely on the coUn-
ty for food. Rather than 60 to the
poor farm, they made an effort to keep
themselves, and they seem to have been
successful.

Potato Bugs Love Sunshine.

The potato beetle and larya have
made their appearance in England.
The London Agricultural Gazette
prints a complaint Of farmers that
they cannot effectively spray with
pOisons TO destroy the slugs, because
the spraying only reaches the upper
surface Of the leaf, while the slug is
great part of the time under The
leaf out of reach Of any application.
This may be the fact in English eli
mate, where on many summer days
the under side of the leaf IS often
the dryest and most comfortable
place the bug can find, In our Amer
lean climate the bug finds plenty of
sunshine and when feeding is always
in it. If the larva rGtires to the I'M
dcrside of the leaf at night it does
not then need to eat anything before
morning sunshine tempts him to the
surface again. In England, being so
much on the under side of the leaf,
necessity may force the larva to the
habit of eating there. But in a eli
mate thus damp and cool the potato
bug will not rapidly increase if his
insect enemies are encouraged, or at
least not destroyed by polsons.
