The Corn Stalk Disease.

A. E. S. Banner, prominent Harvey
county farmer, has made special study
of what has come to be known as the
'Corn Stalk Disease" and gives the
results Of his experiments and observa-
tons in an article in the Newton Repub-
lican.
He finds, in brief, that the death of so
many cattle that have been grazed on
stalk fields is due to the presence of salt
peter in the cornstalkS, which deleterious
element is present in unusual quantities
this season. The saltpeter can be de.
tected, he says, by very simple test

VIENNA's COUNCIL
Has Trouble In Securing Services of n
Mayor.

Mayor.
An exciting and unusually interesting
meeting of the corporation council of
Vienna, Va, was held last night. The
special occasion was the organization of
the new council, and the outcome was
entirely different from what most of the
citizens of the place expected and for
that matter the councilmen themselves.
Those who were elected members at the
election in May were Messrs E. L. S. Bou-
ton A. c. Stotts E. A. Burk. Robert W.
Cox, A. NJ. Lewis, H. A. Money L. L.
Freeman, DR.. R. D. Leith and Lieutenant
John S. Brkey. At the hour of meeting
last night it vas found that Mr.. Money
was not present. The outgoing. mayor.
would hold on until his successor was
elected and qualified. sent a messenger
after Mr.. Money, but the latter sent back
word that he did not intend to accept the
place to which he had been elected.
Mr.. William Bowman was then nomi-

to flll all vacancies that may occur in their
tCdy, the result was a tie, one of the men,
bers not voting. Mayor Hine then cast his
vote for Mr.. Bowman, and the hitter was
declared elected. Mr.. Bowman declined,
however, to serve. and then Major Hine
was elected to succeed him. This made
Mayor Hine eligible for reelection to the
mayoralty, and to this he was next chosen
by the votes of all present and voting, one
member declining. as in the previous in
stance, to cast his ballot. The other old
officers were reelected, as follows: w. II.
Bowman, sergeant and treasurer; H A
Bowman, clerk. and H. a. Money, overseer
of streets. The committees of the last
council we1e then practically reelected.

Three Surplus Naval Cadets.

In the assignment of the naval cadets to
duty it is found that there were three
graduates for whom there were no va
cancies in the line.
Under the statute of 1894 surplus grad
yates of the Naval Academy in the line
can be assigned by tho Secretary of the
Navy to the engineer corps Of the navy,
although they are in the line division, pro-
vided they are reported by the academic
board at the Naval Academy as proficient
and are recommended for such assignment
But the academic board refused to recon-
mend these graduates because they had
not passed a satisfactory examination in
engineering, and therefore, under the law,
they could not be assigned to the engineer
corps. Secretary Herbert was willing that
the three cadets should have a re-examina-
ton, and SO telegraphed the academic
beard, but the board refused to allow the

One OF the curious things about the
new Quay County is that it will be
Democratic. The Wilkes Barre Re-
publican leaders concede that the
Democrats will control it. This is
one of the things that the Republicans
elsewhere were not banking upon.
Last fall the towns and townships in
the new county gave William M.
Singerly, for Governor, about 1900
majority. There is now proposition
to call it Coke County, after the late
ex-senator Eckley B. Coke, the great
coal operator, of Drifton. He was a
staunch Democrat, and, as the people
will decide upon name, they will
probably vote in favor of one borne
by leading Democrat, rather than
the astute head of the Republican
forces.
