Eieotroouting the Graes and Weeds.


A scientific electrical device has been
invented by which the weeds and grass
along railroad bed, for example, can
be electrocuted, 80 to speak; and prac-
tical test has been nade which war
rants an assertion by Professor Dolbear
in the Cosmopolitan for August that the
thing is success. 1t ia interesting not
only to railroad people, but to farmers,
for, II machine can be passed over
weeds and grass to their utter destruo-
ton and humiliation. what a labor.
saving that will be.
Ii Is we'll known that electricity has
q direct effect upon vegetation. An
electric light. for instance, aids the
growth OF plants, If not excessive,
while, II there be too much OF It, 1t
retards the growth. It is we'll known
that lightning will kill tree when 1t
strikes Is. The scientific explanation
of that Is that the sudden heating OF the
sap to boiling point utterly destroys
the vitality OF the tree and It dies. APP
plying this principle. the inventor has
made machine which carries an cleo
trio battery of great strength, with an
arrangement by which the electric cur
rent is conveyed so near the surface of
the ground IS to touch every weed and
blade OF grass over which it passes.
The electric current passes through
the vegetation, which is itself a con-
ductor while green, and instant death
Is the result. 1t can easily be seen how
farmer could destroy by such q method
every obnoxious weed in his field, 80
that there would be no reproduction Of
the injurious vegetation, and he would
be literally free from this annoyance
and Injury after one or two years ap-
pllcation. Farmers wait the develop
mert OF this invention with great Gu
riosity, and will be surprised to see
1t applied throughout the country By
the railroads. the country roads and the
fields.

Garbage Inspector to Be En-

Garbage Inspector to Be I'm
pIoyed From Month to Month.
The meeting of the joint committee
on garbage yesterday settled one
question. The garbage inspector,
whose employment from month to
month at a salary not exceeding $50
per month from the general fund, is
an employee of the council and will
receive his pay every month. The
garbage committee, when it appointed
Mr.. Tankersley, as a garbage in
spector, cid not define his duties in de-
tail. He was simply ordered to report
at the health office and receive his
orders from DR.. Stone. In order to
define his position beyond question, the
garbage committee adopted a resolu-
ton requiring the garbage inspector to
make duplicate reports of his inves-
LEGATIONS of all complaints. one for
the garbage committee and one for
the health department. This practi-
cally makes the garbage inspector an
employe of the garbage committee.
DR.. Stone attended the meeting and
submitted the report of the garbage
complaints for the past month.

given opportunity to ask all the ques-
tions he may DESIRE"
MORGAN Is EMPHATIC.

MORGAN Is EN- PHATlC.
Senator Morgan did not hesitate to
say he is a believer in the efficacy of
free coinage of silver. He would con-
fine the proposed convention to Re
publicans only if he had his way.
When the reporter left him it was with
the expectation that the Hennepin lead
er would commit his views to writing
for publication, but as the senate was
in session all day, Mr.. Morgan could
not find the time to do SO. There is
no mistake about his position, however.
The reference to Harveys coming
visit by Lieut.. Gov. Day is significant
because only a select few as yet know
of his intention to make a lecturing
tour through the Northwest.
Of the congressman, Fletcher and
Heatwole are pronounced against free
coinage; Tawney is against 1t, too,
unless by an international agreement,
with Kiefer in the same boat: still both
of these are counted for free coinage
if the Republican party declares Tor IL.
McC1eary, who delivered hundreds OF
SpeecheS-or one speech hundreds Oh
times-for the gold standard in the last
campaign in Minnesota, is reported as
inclined to hedge now. His utterances
for the next few months will be anal
yzed with interest, Towne and Eddy
are both regarded as ready, If not will
ing, to step into the free silver camp,
especially Eddy.
Phil Winston of Minneapolis, is per-
haps the most prominent silver Dem
ocrat Ia the state. Behind him are
several very effective workers of less
prominence. 1t is not apparent at this
stage, however, that Democracy's rep
resentation is likely to be very strong
if the proposed joining of forces occurs.
From the foregoing it will be sesn
that Minnesota free silver Republicans
are extremely likely to lead their more
timid brethren an extremely Lively
dance before the next regular conven-
lions of the party are called-and pos
sibly afterward.
