OBITUARY

DIED:-At her home in lola at
eight O'Clock a. IN. on Sunday, July,
IA, 1895, Miss Lulu Smith, in the
30th year of her age.
Miss Lulu Smith, probably better
known in this city as Miss Lulu
Minor, has lived in Kansas about
twelve years, the greater part
of which time she has made her home
with Mr.. and Mrs. f. p. Minor, who,
taking her in a homeless orphan,
have been to her all that mother
and father could be, and she in return
was always faithful and true and
met their expectations in every re-
spect. The deceased was q member
of the NJ. f. church and has long
been a consistent and faithful Chris
tian and carried TO the grave the
love and esteem of all who knew her.
Her death came after 10 weeks of ter
rible suffering, caused by a cancer in
the stomach.
The funeral services were held at the
house, Rev. Jas. Hunter Officiating.

a Willy Prophet.

In the days when Brigham Young
was directing the theoretic government
of Utah Mormon missionaries in Eng
land converted one-leggcd man near
Dulwich. This man, now strong in
faith, conceived the idea that the
prophet in Salt Lake City might effect
miraculous restoration Of the leg
which he had lost in an accident. So
a month later he presented himself,
weary and travel-stained but full of
cheerful hope, before the head of the
Mormon church and told his desires.
Strange as it may seem, the prophet
said he would willingly get him a new
leg, but begged him first to consider
the matter fully. This life, he told
him, is but a vale of tears and as moth
ing compared to eternity. lie was
making the choice Of going through
life with one leg and having two after
the resurrection, or having two legs
through life and three after The man
found the prospect of being a human
tripod through all eternity so uncon-
genial that he accepted with resigna-
ton his present lot and excused the
prophet from performing the miracle.

INJECTING NEW FIELDS

1t was thought wise by our county
commissioners to appoint no county
agents for the distribution of infected
chin ch bugs because so few farmers
had reported successes in the trials
ma de, but We are almost daily meet
| ing men and some of them come a
long distance to learn either where
they can get it or to bring samples of
what seems to be and has proved so
far always to be this disease that is
prevalent in their localities. Mr.. j..
b. Fergus of Deer Creek made an ex-
animation and finding dead bugs
talked it over with his neighbors and
he and Mr.. Nancoyne came to Mr..
PaDcoast and to us with a specimen
of well developed white fungus and
returned feeling well paid for their
time. The special inducement for
Mr.. Fergus was that in his Kaflir
corn there was no sign ofany ill health
or lack of appetite and he is going to
make an effort to transfer the disease
he has found in one field into another
one where he wants it to do its deadly
work.
That is just the idea, and all. that
Prof. Snow claims for this discovery.
That it gives the farmer and not the
bugs the power to do the bossing.
Mr.. Vanscoyne and his neighbor r.
o. Ferneaux live in Marmaton and
are studying out this problem in con-
nection with Mr.. Fergus.
Capt. Dewitt writes us that the
bugs are IN his corn, he owes them
grudge and wants US to send him
some that are good and sick.
q. w. Ingram of Elm township
finds the nemy are too many for him
and is after them with the infection
and says he will save his patch if he
has to spray them with kerosene en-
ulsion, that is said to be the sure CUE
but it is a great big job TO apply it to
a II acre field. j. w. J.

TUEY CAN BE KILLED.

Taking about Prof. Shows chinch
bug infection, here are some extracts
from couple of letters which were
written him last week and which we
happened to have chance to see.
The first is from g. M. Anderson, Ed
gertOn, Kansas. IL says:
On last Monday, July sth forenoon l was
looking around my cornfield TO ascertain the
results of the infection that had already put
out and came away delighted with the way the
disease was getting away with the bugs |
brought three stalks of corn away with me that
were Just literally covered with the dead bugs,
slain by the disease. After dinner was over
went over to shock oats in my brothers field
and took the stalks of corn TO show him how the
disease was getting away with them. After he
had looked at it dropped the corn down at my
feet in the oats field on Thursday the 18th,
being at work near the same field walked over
to see what was becoming of the bugs III
found them massed together by the countless
millions on the side of field of milet that adj
Joined the oats field, and found great numbers
of them dead and covered with fungus. The
next day went there again, and such a sight
to behold Ii was worth going miles to see
The ground is so thickly strewn with the
dead bugs you can't place your finger on the
ground without touching some. The dead bugs
are piled up for several rods along the millet
If any oIe has any doubt about the infection
being any good, let them look at this millet
field There are enough fungus bugs there to
supply the United States.
Mr.. A nderson closes his letter by
saying that Chancellor Snow ought to
be the next United States Senator
fir ON Kansas, no matter what party
he belongs to.
The other letter was written by j.
II. Mexican, Grant, Kans., and we
copy it in full for the benefit of those
who may be experimenting. Mr.. Nc
Kean says:
There is not one person in ten thousand that
distributes the diseased bugs right The right
way is To put two or three of the infected bugs
down in between the corn stalk and the blade,
where there is always moisture and plenty of
bugs. l 20 from one end of the field to the
other putting diseased bugs in every coTnstalk.
Ignorant and lazy people in this beautiful
world of ours will have the gall to stand up in
the face of intelligent peop,e and swear that
Prof. Shows wonderful discovery is no good
We have man in this neighborhoOd that will
guarantee TO rid any field of bugs for s. 90 u.s.
ing your in lection. The disease is working like
killed al the bugs in ~ acres OF corn in five
days
1t looks to us as if men who were
able to write as clearly and intelli-
gently as these men do must know
what they are talking about.
