Decsyed Wood Breeds Ants.

An amateur gardener has had great
deal of trouble, year after year, with a
certain bed i'll her flower garden. TWAS
so infested by ants that nothing could
grow there, but was invariably devoured
by the insects. She tried every vermin
destroyer known, with boiling water and
other preventives, all without success
At length she found that a portion of the
outer boarding of the shed which stood
near this bed was decayed and needed
renewal When these boards We're taken
away, they were found to be alive with
ants, which, being destroyed, disappear
ed from her flowers, and she has had no
more annoyance from them. Often ants
will get into the house closets and into
the food in the same way from some de-
cayed wood near at hand, in which they
nest If their source is looked up when
they come they usually may be unearth-
ed and killed.

be possible to imprison a man for debt

said to be possible, too, for creditor to
intercept the salary Of a man with a

THIRTY years ago, says the Quincy
Wing, Sid Landcraft, the popular H.
Il st. Joe conductor, was given a
silver half dollar by his father. He
scratched his name on the coin and
then spent it. The other day the
same coin was given to him with
some change. How many people had
handled the coin in the 80 years and
where it had travelled, no one can
know, but the case is certainly all
unusual one.

This is certainly good report. The
100 represents an ideal crop. practi-
cally perfection. The only state
that will have such crop this year,
provided all conditions continue up
to the perfection mark, is Oregon.
Next to Oregon come Texas and CAL
ifornia. with a percentage Of 95. and
then Missouri, Arkansas and Ten
nessee, with 90. Kentucky. Wash
ington and West Virginia are cred
tied each with an average Of 80, and
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Ne
braska have s. or more. Ohio and
Iowa are only little behind, and a
dozen other states will have fair
crop Of apples.
The outlook for peaches is not SO
near perfection, but it is better than
it has been near the end of June in
many years. Washington leads. the
condition of her peach crop being
within five points of perfection. Ten
nessee has a percentage of 80, while
Texas and Oregon are but two points
behind. Missouri comes next with
California, each being credited with
an average percentage Of So. and
then follows Arkansas with 81.
Every one of these states will have
an enormous peach crop.
Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska have
excellent prospects also. and as much
may be said for several other states.
The average for Illinois is only 60,
but that is because of DAMAGE to the
crop in the northern portion of the
state. Southern Illinois will have a
fine crop. and fair average will also
be made in the central portion of the
state.

The divorce suit of Amanda ". An
derson against Andrew P Anderson
was dismissed yesterday on motion of
the plaintiff. The suit was filed in
August, 1894. and the plaintiff alleged
that the defendant had deserted her
and gone off with another woman af-
ter declaring that he had no love for
the plaintiff and that she was burden
TO him. She asked that certain real
estate, the household furniture and
the goods in defendants store be set
apart for her and conveyed to her alb
.solutely and also that she be awarded
the custody Of their infant child.
The case came on for hearing before
Judge Merritt some months ago, but
the testimony did L Z sufficiently sus-
tain the allegations to entitle the
plaintiff to a decree. She now had the
case dismissed with the intention of
starting a new action.

certain copy of the summons to a per
son over the age of fourteen years at

defendant released on 5000 bonds in the
meantime

POLICE COURT.
Offenders of Various Types Dealt
with by Judge Smith.

Rose Brown was in the Jail yard on
Tuesday signalling to her captive lover
and yesterday was brought into the 20
lice court for trespass. j. NJ. Wood.
who stabbed Ed Sanburg on Friday
night, was the lover in the case. and
Rose was trying to draw the attention
OF her trusty sweetheart by throwing

smiths"
L. Wolf and Mr.. Des,ly were given
a trial in the police court yesterday.
Mr.. Woolf was charged with having
engaged in scrfmmage on the night
OF the late parade, and Desky with
having interfered when Officer Giles
pie attempted to arrest him. Woolf
told the court he had called out "Hel-
10, Roberts, as the parade was pass
ing the Walker corner. Some risky
celebrator who was just passing did
not seem to like this form of greeting.
and jabbed Woolf in the face with his
lighted torch Woolf graspad the man
and asked for an explanation. when
the officer appeared to stop the dis
tuTbance. and at the same time the
man with the torchlight disappeared.
Officer Gillespie claimed that W0olf ad-
dressed him in some highly ford Eng
lish for interfering. The defendant
denied this, and the case was dis
missed.
The case against A. McEwan and c..
Rance, who fought a one bout at Wal
ker's corner on Tuesday. came up in
the afternoon. Rance was discharged,
hut as McEWan did not appear the SO
left by him the day before was de-
clared forfeited.
C. w. Van Horne and J. A. Conroy,
two saloon freQuenters with a decided
bent towards pugilism, pleaded not
guilty yesterday to the charge of
fighting. The scrap occurred in Ri
ley's saloon, where both of the defend
ants had been imbibing freely all even
ing. The only injury sustained was to
Van Horne's nose, which bed copious-
~ as the result of love tap from
Conroy. Both were given ten days.
Sallie Davis, who got out Of Jail long
enough to get on a big drunk on Tues
day, was returned to her domicile in
the jail kitchen for twenty-five days.

Use 1t In Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages.
affecting eyes, ears throat. and is in
fact the great enemy of the mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the
head almost invariably precede ca
tarrh, causing an excessive flow of
mucus, and if the mucous Discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreeable
results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes. a roaring and
buzzing sound in the ears. and often
times very offensive discharge. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure
for these troubles.
