Prof. w. G.. Latta Of Purdue uni.
versity sends out the following bul.
letin that is OF interest to wheat
grow RS. Owing to the prevalence
and destructiveness of the Hessian
fly this year, concerted efforts should
be put forth to prevent the recur-
renee of its ravages upon the next
wheat crop. In order to prevent O
serious attach Of "the fly" the fol.
lowing should be adopted
1. Thoroughly burn all hy-in'
tested wheat stubble in which there
is not a stand Of young clover OF
grass.
2. Prepare very early border
one or two rods wide, around each
field of wheat, and SOW the same to
wheat in August.
3. Turn this border very late,
using a jointer, following with roller
and harrow, and then SOW the en-
tire field.
By taking this course many OF
the insects which escape the fire will
be buried when the early-sown
border is turned under, and the late
sowing Of the general crop will
avoid the earlier attacks Of any
remaining "fy."
II these precautions are carefully
and generally observed by the far
mers the Hessian fly will not
seriously damage the next wheat
crop. United effort is necessary to
be effective.

No games allowed iu saloons
under the Nicholson law. Instead
of casting dice for drinks, an easiet
way has been found. Any number
of persons from two up, instead OF
throwing dice, have the barkeeper
to put on the counter square Jumps
of sugar about the size Of dice.
Each lump is represented by a
drinkcr. The first fly to light on a
lump of sugar puts the drinks on
the man representing that partic-
ular lump and if there is any gamb-
ling in that the fly is responsible.
A shrewd bar-keeper who goes into
the game, it is said, turpentines his
lump and flies refuse to go near it.
All sorts of tricks in all trades but
the sugar lump scheme is the latest,

Judge Wilson Of Cincinnati sai

Judge Wilson Of Cincinnati said
while passing on an alimony case,
"that any man who turned in all his
salary to his wife is a fool" The
Milwaukee Journal remarks: That
might be true Of men who were
unfortunate in marriage, but the
married man who acts on that die
tum will miss his figure nineteen
times out Of twenty. Women are,
as rule, more careful with money
than men. They are better traders
and more inclined to lay up some
thing than men. A large proper
ton Of deposits insavings banks are
made by women, many more than
by men. This tells the story.

Since the birth Of the Democratic
organization until the present day,
silver has been tenet Of the party,
and old-time democrats are still
proud Of the ring and jingle Of the
white metal.
For the past twenty years and
more, democratic newspapers, poll
,ticians and stump speakers have,
without exception, bitterly con-
demned the republican party for
the crime by which silver money
was demonetized in an unfair and
underhanded manner.
Democrats who desire to be honest
and consistent, and who have stood
upon and defended the party plat
forms in times past, utterly refuse
to change their opinions that few
designing politicians be kept in
power. Let us look back a few
years and see what our platforms
have said on the silver question.
INDIANA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM '7S.
"That we demand the restoration
of the silver dollar Of 412 1-2 grains,
to the country and with full legal
tender quality, in payment Of all
debts, both public and private, and
that the coinage thereof shall be un-
limited, and upon the same terms
as may be provided for the coinag
of gold"
INDIANA DEMOCRATS 80, '92, "a.
Here is what we said in 1890:
demands the free and unre-
stricted coinage Of silver on the
basis existing prior'to 1873"
And here is what we believed in
'92.
ave believe there should be a
full and sufficient volume Of money,
consisting Of gold, silver and legal
tender paper currency at par with
each other"
And only last August, the Demo-
cratic State convention passed the
following resolutions by unanimous
vote:
"We affirm our belief that both
gold and silver should be used as
the standard Of money Of the coun-
try, and that both should be coined
without discrimination betwe n
either metal, and without charge for
mintage.
Going back as far as 1884, here
is the plank in the National Demo-
cratic platform concerning silver,
and Cleveland was first elected on
the platform.
"We believe in honest money,
the gold and silver coinage Of the
constitution, and a circulating medi-
um convertible into such money
without loss.
NATIONAL PLATFORM OF '92.
"We hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money Of
the country, and to the coinage Of
both gold and silver without
discriminating against either metal
or charge for mintage."
In 1873 the Pennsylvania Democ-
racy declared:
"That the Democratic party as of
old favors a constitutional currency
of gold and silver"
In 1881 in State convention Penn
sylvania democrats said:
"Favors a constitutional currency
Of both gold and silver"
Ohio Democrats in 1878 said:
Demanding the full restoration|
Of silver to its original place as al
money metal the same as gold"
1t is difficult to imagine how any|
true democrat can be wheedled into|
supporting the doctrine Of a single|
gold standard, when the history oil
the party has opposed that policy
from the time ~ tho foundation III

The board is considering an equal
ization OF the assessment Of real
estate throughout the state exclu-
sive Of improvements. The board
believes that a restoration of the
values, since the recent panic, has
taken place, and feels that an ap-
'praisment on the basis of 1891 will
be fair. About half the counties
have reported the appraisements
made this year, and compared with
those of 1891, they are as follows:

THE MILITARY RESERVATION LANDS
NO Orders Issued Yet to Drive OFF the
Suuatters.

washington, D. c., Sept. st is said
at the war department that up to this
time no orders have been issued to
dlspossess the settlers on the military
reservation at the upper end Of Vashon
island and other islands on the Puget
Sound. Some time ago the secretary Of
war visited that county, as did also
General Ruggles. While there, both
discussed the matter Of what is known
as intruders on the military reserva-
tons. Of which there are about so in the
department Of the Columbia.
General Otis, in command Of this de-
partment, has taken a special interest
In these matters. and Is now investi-
eating them with view to turning
over such Of these reservations as will
not be needed for Notifications, to the
interior department, for disposal to set
tiers, and clearing the others and main
tanning them as military reservations
until such time as they may be needed
for the purpose for which they were re-
served. Until the generals report has
been received 1t is said no action will be
taken looking toward driving settlers
from Vashon island. Neither will Gen
eral Otis take any action himself until
he has advised the department of
what he proposes to do and his action
receives the sanction Of the secretary
of war.
General Otis report Of the affairs in
the department Of the Columbia is ex-
pected soon by the secretary OF war.
It will be turned over at once to the for
tifications board, who will have the
power to decide what reservations on
Puget Sound made for military, pur-
poses will be needed. All others will
then be declared unnecessary, and the
secretary Of war will issue an order
transferring them to the department of
the interior. At some subsequent time
these abandoned reserves will be
thrown open to settlement, either by
act of congress or by presidential proc
| lamatiOn.

Two Children Of J. H. Lavender
Perish in a Fire.
THE LITTLE GIRL CREMATED
Residence ON Crab Creek Wrapped In
Flames Before the Parents
Could Reach 1t.

Ritzville. Sept. 10.-Last night about
10 o'clock Gus Holimquist came to
town for doctor. The residence Of
J. H. Lavender, on Crab creek, was
burned, with two Of the children. The
folks were sitting near the house and
heard the roar of the flames. but sup
posed it to be a train passing on the
railroad, and when they learned the
truth the fire had gained too much
Roadway to be controlled. A little girl
aged about years was incinerated,
only portions Of her body being found
today in the embers.
Jacob Lavender, aged 10, was badly
burned while trying to escape through
the flames and died shortly after noon
today.
Another boy jumped from the second
story and was caught uninjured by
Mr.. Lavender.
J. H. Lavender has been resident
of this section for 10 years, and is a
widely known citizen in both Adams
and Lincoln counties. His Crab creek
place is in Lincoln county. He is prom
inently identified with the church and
Salvation Army matters, and Laven-
der's grove is a frequent resort for
camp meetings and various religious
gatherings.
