KILL THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.


reached q number Of Kansas counties
and is rapidly spreading to others. 1t
has grown to such an extent that the
last legislature saw fit to pass law pro-
Viding for it's sxterminstion. To those
who are unacq with the "so-
called" thistle brief description OF the
plant might be interesting.
It Ia not really q thistle but 10 more OF
q tumbls.Wsed, beginning, however, to
roll about month later. 1t germinstes
in MBy and June from the seed, sending
up slender red stem bearing two mar
row green leaves about an inch long,
These young shoots and leaves are
tender and are eagerly eaten by CATTLE
horses and sheep. In the dry season In
July and August the tender shoots dis
sppear and are replaced by new short
shoots bearing pointed leaves half an
inch long. The seed is a small, pulpy,
green, collsd body, resembling q snail
which, Rs it ripens, becomes 3 dull gray
and ct maturity about half the weight
of fax or clover seed.
Late In August and the early part OF
SSptsmbsr the plant grows rapidly
reaching fifteen to thirty'six inches in
height, and three to six feet in diameter,
forming q very dense, bushy growth
The color usually changes from dark
green to crimson or rose red, and when
the ground freezes the entire plant, ex-
ospt the seed, dies, the plant breaks OF
close to the ground and begins to roll
The seed is Of such weight that it will
not blow through the sir but shells out
as it rolls. An ordinary plant natures
90 high 90 $4,000 seeds. At any time
the plant may be killed by outtiDg it OF
or blowing under. This is the best time
Of the year to do effective work. More
can now be done to root out the pest
than at any other time Of the year. No
one should experiment with it but
should wipe it out wherever and when
ever it appears.
It grows 10 almost any soil and is not
materially damaged by dry weather and
hot winds. II does best in waste lands,

ways and railroad riRht-oH.wsys. ANY
properly oonduotsd farm can be kept
clear Of the plant easily, bat unless the
roads and neighboring fields are kept
clear the work will need to be done
over and over every year. The law
passed by the last legislature provides
that county commissioners shall set
date for and order the destruction OF
such weeds; that it shall be the duty Of

LITTLE GIRLS MURDERED
A Series of Shocking Crimes
in the English
Country.
Bodies Of Victims Usually Hidden In
Fields by the Fiendish
Miscreant.

LONDON, ENG, July GA series of out
RACES and murders of little girls of the
ages ranging from four to seven years has
created great excitement among the work
ing classes in the district of Walthamstow
seven miles northeast of London. Within
two months FIVE little ones have been de-
coyed from near their homes and vanished
completely.
Searching parties have found their
bodies stripped of all their clothing and
giving evidence of the most outrageous
treatment. In every case the victims have
been OF the same type of children. who
have been playing along the roadside or
on the way OF errands. The immediate
cause OF death IN every instance has been
strangulation.
The police inquiry points to we'll

After being subjected to the most horribIa
treatment she was found lying in a field

Niagara, soon after starting. grounded
on a sand bank. and assistance was

an hour, after which she was fioated

perpendicularly. and has been the scene
OF many disasters.
The lightest OF airs prevailed and the
yachts were almost drifting. britannia
passed Ventnor ahead. followed by the
three orty-raters. and then came Ailsa
and Hester. with Corsair miles astern.
Isolde, the American twenty-rater. was
well within her time allowance at that
stage OF the race.
Later, II was discovered that Corsnir.
owned by Mr.. T. w. l.. Popham. had
run ashore on the rocks Off Nentnor.
The other yachts were becalmed.
The race eventually turned out to be
a nusco. owing to the adverse tide and
lack OF wind. Britannia abandoned the
attempt to round the Isle Of Wight
and pvt back for Ryde.
Corsair remained fast ashore In spite
OF the efforts to float her, and the coast
guardsmen were compelled to put out
to her assistance.
Tho other yachts not being able to
make headway. anchored In disgust.

where HAS SHE GOMEZ
No Trace Of the Missing Miss Lucre-
tia Clark from Plainneld.

The disappearance Of Miss Lucretia
Clark, Of Syracuse. q well-connected and
accomplished woman, who after making
arrangements to open a fashionable
school for girls in Plainfield, n. j.. left
that place Friday morning ostensibly to
come to this city. is still a mystery.
Miss Clark was known to have five
$50 bills in her purse on the morning
Of her departure. The object Of her trip
to New York was. so she said, to buy
furniture for the new school. Two
weeks ago Miss Clark went to Plainfield
with niece, Miss Irene NJ. Yanne. who
was to act as a companion until the
| proposed school was in operation. Miss
Clark is a sister-!n-law Of Prof. John
Edison Sweet. of Syracuse.
When Miss Clark left Miss Yanne ear
ly Friday morning, she gave her $3.50 in
| change. saying she would leave her
more. but she had no small bills.
A peculiar circumstance is. that up TO
the present time no active measures
| have been taken by her relatives to find
her. Inquiries have been made by Mr..
| MARITIME Prof Sweet and Garrett o.
Packer, a Plainfeld furniture dealer.
| but the police of this city have not been
appealed to.
| one of the queer features of the case
is that yesterday "A lot of circulars
| from the West, including passenger
rates by rail through the Rocky Noun
tains and California. were received at
the Plainfiel1 post office directed to Miss
| Clark. They were so elaborate and
