darling. What do you ask that for?"
"Well then, why does Papa want to
make me Democrat?"

amount he took was only $40 and not
$40 as reported. He is now in Jail

Some malicious wretch has inflict-
ed great damage upon the lola Mar
BILE Company by dumping the chan
! heller and car and other heavy tools
into the quarry pit where they are
submerged in several feet of water.
The channeller alone cost $1,000 and
there is no telling until it is taken out
what damage has been done to it.
| 1t is hard to understand what motive
could inspire such an act.
| There is rumor about town this
week that Mrs. George Akeley has fall
| len heir to property valued at 1000
| through the death of awealthyrelative.
! The truth or falsity of the rumOr has

| body will hope it is true. George
saws if he should get the money the
first thing he would do with it would
be to buy the ground north of him so
that the boys could not play football
on it.
Mr.. C.. O. Austin has sold his farm

be glad if he concludes to return to it.
We are sorry to lose him from the
county.

Mrs. w. T. McElroy, of the Hum

Julia Gould Siebert, who will spend
the summer in Humboldt and teach

led music in New York, London and
Italy, and is a most accomplished sim

avail themselves of her instruction.
Inquiries may be addressed to Mrs.
MCElIOy.
They are working a new scheme on
the chinch bug extermiDator up at the
University this year. They have dis
covered that they can grow the de-
stroying fungus on vegetables as well
as on the bugs themselver. So they
have a great quantity of it already
prepared And now instead Of scat
tering diseased bngs in the field they
propose to poison water with the fun
gus and spray the places where the
live bugs are gathered, just as one
sprays fruit trees. The experiments
that have been tried thus far in this
line are very encouraging. When the
time comes we hope our farmers will
try it. 1t does not cost anything, and
il may save a lot of money.
