A New Millet Disease.
PROF. e.. r WuFFrEp

Prof. A. A. Crozier of the farm
department lately brought to the
Botanical Laboratory some stalks
OF Hungarion Grass attacked by
some unknown fungus disease.
A careful examination has led to
the discovery of parasitic fungus
new to the College fields.
The name of the fungus which
causes the disease is Sclerosper-
mdgramanicola--h aving spores
with a hard covering which live in
grass leaves.
These spores are formed in the
grass leaves, which are DESTROYED
except the veins; these are left a
mass OF dried threads presenting
such a peculiar appearance that
when once seen the disease can be
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1896-10-03
readily recognized.

readily recognized.
Another peculiar appearance is
the number Of dwarfed, misshap-
ened axillary clusters of short
branches which are seen on the
diseased stalks.
No account Of this trouble has
been found in any American work
on plant diseases.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
the abundant winter spores may
carry the disease over to infect the
crop next year. However, our
knowledge of this pest is SO limited
that predictions as to its-future
behavior are useless.
1t has been found in both
patches of millet on the College
farm in widely separated fields.

Of course, it depends altogether

HAkDCART EXPERIENCE.
Continued.

Continued.
After resting and refreshing our
selves with the small amount of food
we had, we again started on our
journey. We crossed the stream
and assembled to the bench, when 10,
but few miles distant we're the
handcarts and we met them at the
Big Sandy. When the handcart
people arrived at Big Sandy, they
were in starving condition, and
here scene transpired which l
never shall forget. AT this place
was a Mail Station. There were
three or four mountaineers and
traders, Stage driver and Mail
agent at the Station, being or 8
men in all, with more whiskey in
them than good sound sense, and
when the handcart people
came to the stream and stopped to
get water, two of those men stepped
out Of the house and yelled, 1--WE
want to get wife; who wants to
marry"
To our great surprise two of our
young women stepped out and said
they would marry them. One of
those young women had a lover in
our company and they had always
appeared affectionate and kind to
each other, but alas! their starving
condition seemed to drive all nat
ural feelings away from them, and
all the persuation we could bring to
bear on the subject could not change
their minds and go on with us to
the Valleys, SO there were two we'd
dings celebrated that day :in their
mountaineer style. Before we leave
these girls, we will follow them for a
few years, as we know the reader will
be anxious to know some of their flu
ture career.
One of the girls persuaded her
husband to go to Salt Lake City,
and | saw her there often, for num-
Der of years, although her husband
did not join the Church. They
seemed to get along together nicely,
for all that.
The other girl, after she had
stayed with her husband a few
months, he sent her to Salt Lake
City, but whether she ever saw him
any more after that, l do not know.
But one thing do know, that be-
tween two and three years after the
lovers parted on the plains, almost
frantic and wild, they were again
reconciled, and he in his mercy and
love forgave her all, and they were
married. The first 6 or 7 years of
their married life'was spent in peace
and love, as far as | could see, and
they lived in the 10th ward in Salt
Lake City, and when I was called to
come to the Dixie Mission they were
the parents of 3 smiling children.
The twain were striving to do all
the good they could, and l for one
could only-say "Peace be with you, .
for although | saw her fall, l also
saw the circumstances which caused
it, and knew that God is merciful.

John G. Wooley expresses himself
as entirely satisfied over the division
in the Prohibition party. He says re-
garding it: "The church now has q
chance to stand squarely by her reso-
lutions." This is in reference to those
who have professed themselves siren
uously opposed to the liquor traffic
but who felt that they could not vote
with the Prohibition party on other
issues.
"W,hat, if anything, can be done to
safeguard the morals of the youth of
this city," was question discussed
in a business mems club, recently. A
prominent daily takes up the question
in q vigorous editorial, and says the
first thing to be done is strike out the
words eff anything" Something can
be done. The editorial goes on to
say:
"One thing to do is to elect officials
who will enforce the law respecting
the sale of liquor to minors. This is
a small part of the work, but it would
be a great beginning, and the fact
that it is perfectly feasible makes it
the best of the entering wedges for
reform. There is no more urgent
duty resting upon society to-day, than
that of taking care of the thousands
of children who either haye no parents
or have parents whose influence is
vicious. The present plan of leaving
children to the tender mercies of the
streets and then rebuking them by
hustling them into iails, is barbarous.
The care and education of poor child
dren is one of the first duties. It is
nonsense to attempt to reform grown
men of fixed habits and allow fresh
crop of Juvenile miscreants to develop
in the meantime"
The General Conference of the M.
E. church, and the General Assembly

and his tiny feet are always encased
in high heel boots. His feet are very
comfortable in a No. 5 boot, and he
can wear a lady's glove. Although
but forty years of age his hospitality
has an antique flavor. It is a cock
fight or horse race with him, from
the welcoming of the coming guest to
the speeding of the parting one. He
is as modest as blushing maiden, as
brave as a knight, and as poetic as
lover of the time of the troubadours.
For natural eloquence he has few
equals in the West and no superiors,
and as scholar be is finished His
courtesy to the fair sex is proverbial,
and he has a passionate fondness for
all that is beautiful especially child
rem. He has some of his own and
romps with them like the smaller bro
Their. He is rare child of nature.
He will live nowhere but on the from
tier of civilization, and would rather
live in a cottage on a bleak prairie
within sight of the Indians tepee than
abide in the ALEXANDRIA and enjoy the
society of the proud dons and ladies
of Spain.
In the practice of law he is also &C.
centric. He never prosecutes, but al
ways defends. And a fee is the last
thing he thinks Of. 1t does not make
any difference whether a man in trou-
BILE has money or not, he can always
get Temple Houston to defend him.
He was chosen to deliver the Grafton
at the dedication of the New Capitol
of Texas, and was also chosen to de-
liver an Grafton at the Tennessee Gen.
tennial. His father was one of the
early Governors of that State.
Although a remarkably fine-look-
ing man, he is so free from vanity that
he has never had a photograph of
himself taken, and probably never
extraordinarily.

perate attempt to escape our deadly
fire they tried to break through our
lines and retreat, or perhaps it was to
save the centre of the column that
they allowed some of their soldiers to
be sacrificed. Be it this or the other,
the fact is that they advanced with
tremendous impulse, and it was with
difficulty that l could prevent them
reaching the road by which they
could make their retreat. Each side
then recovered their former positions,
and the engagement continued with
out remarkable incident, except that
the Spanish we're compelled to contin-
ue to expose their centre to a fire
which they couldn't return. The fir
ing was kept up all that day and
night, our position being always the
most favorable, both for inficting
damage to the enemy and escaping
the force of their volleys.
On the 18th at 9 o'clock in the
morning, the Spanish column, which
had been reinforced during the night
by a detachment of 700 men, resolved
at any cost to break through our lines,
and they finally succeeded in doing
so, thanks to their superior numbers,
also to the fresh condition of their re-
endorsements, and especially to the
fatigue of my small column, which
consisted of only 600 men, who had
been fighting forty hours against a
larger and better equipped force.
AS soon as the Spanish column be-
gan it's retreat I detached two troops
of cavalry to follow it, and so the col
umn was harassed almost until the
outskirts of the city of Puerto Prin-
cipe we're reached.
According to trustworthy sources
the Spanish loss was more than 200
men. We had eleven killed and thir-
ty-one wounded. Thus has the sum-
mer campaign been inaugurated in a
province which the Spanish Govern
ment believed to be reduced to sub
jugation. From this and from the
important engagements which have
taken place lately in Pinar. del
Rio you may judge of the strength of
the revolution.
If receive from abroad the resour-
ces that we need, the success of our
next winters campaign will be de-
cisive. NJ. GOMEZ.
