FROM the days of Flick's first insti-
tuition of the bakery on Main street to
the present time, because of the filing
up OF sinks and other means to avoid
the waste salt water, there has been
complaint from where it merged into
Commerce street on down to East. and
1t might be said, from there on down
to "WhOppin" by the waste water from
Mrs. Baileys fountain. The latter was
remedied by tapping and running the
water into the sewer two or three
weeks ago, and last week latter some
unpleasantness from a threatened OBJ
stFucliOn) Mrs. E. X. BehmIer & Bro.
as they had intended, made connection
with the sewer on Main street, and thus
there will be no more complaint about
saline water used in ice cream making
by the residents along Main street. It
could not be remedied until the sewer
system was placed in the streets: now
everybody from the occupants of the
bakery on down the line are pleased
with the satisfactory way of remedying
the difficulty.

WE find that during these hot sum.
mer days that only a few of our dogs
are muzzled, when they all should be.
Our town authorities were very par
ticular to pass this law and each wear
as the season rolls around notices are
ordered to be posted notifying the cit
liens of this fact. That is as far as it
goes. Some few will comply with
the request. Others do not regard the
notices whatever and their dogs are
allowed to run unmuzzled about the
streets. This is very loose proceed
ure ON the part of our Town Council
and the matter should be attended to.
A law worth making is worth enforc.
ing. True there has been no cases of
hydroPhObia to prompt an immediate
action, but nevertheless the risk should
not be run. Last year Policeman
Grant enforced the law to the letter,
and no less than thirty dogs were shot,
found running at large. This year the
law has been so far ignored.

was very poor. Many farmers did not
get more than eighteen bushels to the

twenty-five to the acre and this seems

Seventh Day Adventist Minister
Wants to Sacrifice a CisId.

PORTLAND, Ne, May 2, 1s95-The
residents CT the town of Brownfield are
greatly excited over the case OF the Rev.
Sidney Linscott of West Brownfield, a
well known minister Of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church, who has become
insane from overwork.
Yesterday he said :-"I shall take my
two little ones to the top Of q high hill,
stand at one end Of a linesdrawn in the
ground, and let God decide which one
must be sacrificed =
He is strong in the belief that he must
offer up one of his children.
William Kennard was engaged to watch
him, and had a sensational experience
He was sitting in q chair. leaning back
with his eyes half closed. I1inScott sup
posed that he was asleep and stole soft
ly from the sofa where he was lying
and crossed the room ia the cabinet, in
which he has kept his razor.
Lord, do you wish me to cut his
throat, sad the preacher, then adding
says No"
Lord. do you wish me to jump upon
him and crush lim2'' Again TO his dis
ordered mind he received an answer in
the negative.
He then asked if he should run away,
and was in the act of leaving when Ken
Azard stopped him.
He is apparently brooding all the time
on the sacrifice that he believes he has
been called upon to perform, and has
been placed under stricter restraint.

which to file his answer to the com

A notice Of the acton and a copy of
the declaration of the complaint were
served on Mr. Gould yesterday in New

Peter Bently, clerk in Lawyer

first went to the Office Of Mr.. Gould, in

1t is thought that Zella took up her
residence in this State in order that she

really be tried A little over year ago
Zella Nicolaus threatened to bring the
Howe & Hummel to look out for her in

the suit was not tried.
There was considerable talk that the

CARING FOR MELON CROPS.
Beetles Not Doing Eaarns-A New
Dtneaae Fsatected.

WASHINGTON, May 2, 1S95.--Mr. Co
quillett, an entomologist of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, has recently re-
turned to Washington and reported upon
his examination of the watermelon fields
in Southern Georgia. The black bug
which was thought to be damaging the
plants proves to be pIain ordinary
beetle. It had evidently been attracted
to the plants by the fertilizer used, and
was doing no damage. The principal in
sect damage to the melons appears to
have been by wire worms and cut
worms. 1t is not likely that this dam
age will continue to any serious extent
Any field broken up from SOIL or land
upon which grass has been allowed to
grow to any degree during the past sea-
son is liable to contain numbers of wire
worms and cut worms.
In preparing land for melons in the
future, the department says, growers
win find it of great advantage to plough
in the fall (earIy rather than late) and
leave the land bare during the winter.
Then, in the early spring, as soon as
grass begins to come up in adjoining
fields, sprinkle here and there through
melons punches of grass or any other
green vegetation which have previously
been poisoned by sprinkling with Paris
green in solution. Such OF the cut worms
upon. this vegetation and will be Killed.
1t will also have the effect of destroying
many of the wire worms.
Mr.. CoCuillett saw evidences of dis
sects, and information concerning this
matter has been transmitted to Prof
Galloway, Chief of the Division of Vege-
table Pathology, who will investigate it.

WASHINGTON. May Q 1895 THE
North Atlantic Pilot Chart for May is-
lsued by the photographic Office today,
indicates that notwithstanding the re-
fusal of Great Britain to cooperate
with the United States in destroying
menaces to navigation at sea, American
naval officers will not be deferred from
warning marines of dangerous derelicts
wherever reported. even though they
have to invade foreign waters to do So
One of the most interesting features
of the chart is the plotting of the aban-
doned bark Birkette which was first
sighted southwest of Ireland, directly
in the transatlantic steamer lane ON
February 49,, and has since been reported
twenty-four times by passing steamers.
1t is shown to have crossed the steam
ship lines no les than even times, and
to be now tending towards the entrance
of the English Channel. the last report
being dated April 23. Another derelict
has been noted eleven times within one
hundred miles OF the Birkette. drifting
in the same direction
The wide reaching influence of the
American photographic Organization is

stroyed the Spanish armor-clad Reina

first of March through its course off
the Portuguese and Spanish Peninsulas

dissipated two weeks later. The entire
course. of this cyclone is graphically In
dioated, particular attention being given
to its center of March 10. when it was
at its height, that being the day on
which it is believed the Reina Regente
foundered on her voyage between Ira
falgar to Tarifa
The forecast for May indicates fair
weather generally with occasional gales

trans-oceanic steamship routes north of
