BUTCuERING BUGS.
Commissioners Appropriate $500 fol
War on Chinches.
From Tuesdays Daily.l

From Tuesdays Daily.l
The county commissioners after
considering the chinch bug question
have decided 10 make war on the pests
in a systematic manner and adopted
this resolution;
WHEREAS, 1t appears that the grow
ing crops of this county are being
destroyed to an alarming extent by
chinch bugs, and
WHEREAS, The experiments of
Chancellor Snow have proved suili-
GENTLY successful to wo--opt th,s
board in t"t. tall. some action in order
to destroy this pest and save the
crops OF this county, it is therefore
Resolved, VnGn motion of j. A.
tat tehSon seconded by c.. II. Kocpke
that f. G. Hickey, Of Chapman, he
employed for period of three months
at salary of 500 por month, aud
that hp establish distributing
stations at as many points as may
seem necessary in the estimation Of
this board.
Prof, Hickey has resigned his
place as Il teacher in the county high
school Cor the remainder Of the year
and will immediately begin operations,
His directions as outlined in Satur-
days address are Us follows:
Insecure small tin box partly full
OF bugs put in a small piece of corn
stalk, seal the box tight, don't be
afraid Of getting II too tight When
you have the package properly en-
raped send to Chancellor Snow, at
Lawrence. He will at once return to
you packed in cotton and you must
not be discouraged at its contents; as
it will only contain s, 10 or IL bugs.
You have sent live bugs, in return
you get dead ones. Now make n box
Of convenient size. / don't care
how large or small. Moisten inside
of box, not enough to permit drops Of
water to gather ON side of box. A
damp cloth will do. Put in wheat,
oats or green corn stalk leaves and
and now put in a few dead bugs and
cotton in box thus arranged. Catch
quart if you can, of live bugs, and
put in box with dead ones. Do not
put box in sun. Always keep out Of
sun. Put it in cellar where there il
considerable dampness and yet not
too much. Put in a shady place.
Two days later go aud take one hall
of the hugs out of box. Now go to
the field. Take few bugs in your
fingers at time and drop down in
corn sheath oramong roots OF wheat
and oats, although think too late to
be of benefit to wheat or oats now,
Go Systematically all through the in
Tested parts Of field, following each
eighth row of corn across field.
Having used your bugs catch another
quart of bugs and put in your box
again, Two days later repeat the
operation, repeat four or five times,
each time replenishing your stock OF
bugs"
As soon as Prof. Hickey has a
station ready it willnot be necessary to
send to Lawrence; instead the diseased
bugs can be obtained OF him.

There was believed to be liquidation
yesterday In d. c. r.. gus, sugar. with
some hRmmering in the railroad stooks.
Il was considered certain that unfavor-
able news on sugar started selling and
uncovered stop orders. Interests which
have been builing sugar appeared to
lack for lower prices. Some surprise
was expressed that ID. C. II. did not
decline more In view OF the large trans
actions, while gas had fully as much
strcngth as was expected In view OF
the size OF the vote by which the new
ordinance was passed.
1t was called a hard market to read.
and sentiment last night was rather
divided. Commission houses leaned
TO a preference for buying on weak
spots while the room rather favored
selling on rallies. II was thought de-
