Use. They are taken away by the
disease which causes over one-siN h
OF all the deaths in the worId-the
disease which doctors call consump-

in the world why consumption should
be fatal-why it should be even SER
ious. Il is a disease of the blood
and can be cured absolutely and
always by purifying aud enrichiup
the blood. The only exception to
this is the case where the disease

The Secretary of Agriculture Says He
saved $500 900 n Year.
WASHINGTON. Nov. lo.-Secretary
Morton, in his annual report, which
will shortly be made public, will re-
view the economical features of his adj
ministration and cite figures to show
that he has covered back into the
treasury 81, 900, 600 of the appropriation
for the agricultural department during
the four years, or $500, 900 each year.
This is in the neighborhood Of 20 per
cent of the appropriations for the year.
One of the principal features will be q
lengthy refutation of the claims OF
what he calls the calamity howlers. -
He will contend that the agricultural
interests are not declining that p per
cent of the farms in the country are
without any encumbrance while the en-
crmbrance on the remaining rs per cent
was incurred in the purchase of in,
provement of the land. The report Will
state that the greatest ratio of mort.
gage is found in the North .At!antIc
States, and that New Jersey shows espe.
c:ally heavy encumbrances.

A full house greeted Major Clifford
chief division officer OF the Salvation
Army in Minnesota, northern Michigan
and South Dakota, at the opera house
last evening. On the platform with him
we're Ensign Berriman and the Salvation
lassies, Rev. W. A. Taylor, who made the
opening prayer and Rev. DR.. Wolff who
introduced the speaker OF the evening,
paying a high tribute to Major Clifford
as an officer and to the work and worth
Of the salvation Army in general. Major
| Clifford and Ensign BerrimaE entertain
cd the audience with singing and con.
~certina playing for q time and then the
chief officer made his address on the
history and work of the Army. 1t was
an earnest, glowing description, appeal
ing to the admiration OF the audience
and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone
present. The Army was started as a
Christian Mission among the poor and
fallen of London 81 years g by Gen.
Booth who severed his relation as a min
lister with the M. E. church TO take up
this kind of work. 1t grew rapidly on
his hands and twenty years ago with 80
missions or posts Of work it was organ
lied into the Salvation Army with Gen.
Booth at the head where he still re-
mains. 1t now has 4,633 posts, in As
countries Of the world, not including
Madison, Yankton and another recently
organized. 1t has 1885 commissioned
officers who are moved from place to
place at will OF the superior officers and
$4,000 meetings are held every week. In
to these meetings 100000 people gather
every week and 100000 conversions are
made IN the same time. The Army has
go night shelters in which 10000 un-
fortunates are sheltered nightly. 1t, has
AZ rescue homes; through which 10000
fallen women have passed in five years,
80 per cent Of them having Deen reclaim
ed and are now leading respectable
Christian lives. Besides these institu-
tions the Army has 63 "slum" pos is, do
ing an invaluable work., IL homes for
criminals, So food depots where $4,000
people are fed every day, at a cost of
about 5 cents q meal. These tramps are
given work to earn the meal and Of the
annual cost, S6l5,OOO of running these
food depots, 100000 has been paid back
by the tramps working and paying for
what they get. The Army has 4S maya.
zines, one OF which the "War Cry" has
the largest weekly circulation Of any re,
ligious paper in the world, 100000. II
is printed 10 five languages. The object
OF the Army is to reach the ignorant, the
poor, the fallen and degraded, hence Its
peculiar methods to attract them. They
reach q large class THAT will not go to
churches and preach to them the plain
simple gospel Of salvation in Jesus
Christ.

AN EXCITING BLAZE.
Electric Light Plant Burned to the Ground
and a Narrow Escape for Adjoin-
ing Property.

Just after THE DAILY LEADER had
gone on the streets last evening, fire was
discovered bursting from the walls Of the
electric light plant building situated at
lower end Of Egan avenue and it was but
q few minutes more until the alarm was
rung and the fire department was On the
seemed There was need for the utmost
despatch, for in an instant the whole
building was enveloped in flame, a strong
wind blowing from the South and in
the froht of the fire was a small dwell
ing, twenty feet Of space and the great
piles of the John Paul Co.'S lumber yard.
Should the fire communicate to this and
the high wind continue from the south,
tho end OF the conffagration would have
been measured by hundreds Of thou
sonds Of dollars worth Of loss.
The fire laddies however worked brave
ly and we'll and though the electric
light build ing was totally consumed the
department had the fire under control
in twenty minutes. The small building

Der yard made a good fire break for the
operations of the tiremen. About the
time the FIRE was got under control the
wind changed to the west and all lmme
diate danger was past. Madison got

that half hour last evening.
The electric light plant with the Oh.

through the fire, is q total loss and

ance1How the fire started lie not known
Mr.. Stuart, the engineer had his fires
under way for the evenings work and
had gone up to the hotel for his supper
at the time the fire broke out.
The plant belonged to the assets OF
the Citizens National bank and as Re-
ceiver Thompson will not likely have
the authority to rebuild and replace the
plant the future Of our city electric
lighting Is problematic. The prevailing
sentiment throughout town Is that the
city ought to take hold Of the matter at
once and establish q new plant in con-
nection with the water works engine
house, but how the council will feel
about this is not known. 1t is perhaps
the most favorable onportunityIthe city
will ever have Of getting possession OF
the light system Of our city and that is
where it really ought to be.

NOW THE ARMY WORM.
How to Kill 1t and Prevent Its Spread
Parasitic and Other Remedies-Va
liable Hints to Farmers.

Prof. Dice McClaren, entomologist,
sends u press bulletin No. ID, as
follows:
The army worm has invaded the oat,
millet and corr fields in Bon Homme,
Brookings, Kingsbury, Lincoln. Turner
and other counties in South Dakota.
Tine Experiment Station was notified Of
the outbreaks ia the first two counties
and the entomologist promptly inspected
the fields and placed the worms under
control. kilograms, written instructions
and parasitic disease cultures we're sent
to the other counties. Upon receipt Of
specimens Of army worms the expert
ment station will forward the parasites
and directions. The full grown army
worm is about one and one.half inches
Ion z, On the back is a broad, dingy
black stripe with a white line in the
middle, plain at the head, indistinct
behind. Along each side are two white
lines with q reddish stripe between.
Further dewn is a black stripe, and be-
low it a reddish stripe margined with
white. From its greenish belly extend
sixteen legs, the middle one marked
with a black band on each. The large
head has two black lines extending up
from the mouth. The army worm feeds
mostly at night and during bright sun
shine, burrows or shelters itself. When
touched, it curls up and drops to the
ground.
Burrows shouldi be Immediately
plowed around fields infested with army
worms. II they are marching, having
eaten all tho food within reach, they will
be buried in the burrows and by harrow
ing and rolling the blowing, the army
worm will be packed in so deep as to
allow few to escape. The army worm
may be crushed with rollers. They do
not like to cross bare ground or dusty
roads,. They cannot readily crawl up
the steep landsides OF a deep furrow or
ditch, and whom collected there Lay be
burned with hay or straw, trampled,
crushed by a log hauled by horse, or
trapped in deep holes. Corn and other
green grass plants ahead Of them should
be sprayed with Paris green, one.fourth
Of a pound to a forty-gallon barrel Of
water. II there are only q few worms
and the corr is needed for fodder, use Q
poison salt Of bran-mash, colored with
Paris greco, dropping tablespoonfuls on
the ground, three feet apart, in the
afternoon.
All the stubble, old straw stacks and
grass land should be burned az soon a.
possible. The army worm when full
grown, burrows in the ground and
changes to brown pupa, which in from
two to three weeks changes to a reddish
brown moth. The female moth lays
from 500 to $50 eggs on young grass
plants, which soon hatch into young
army worms. Hence infested fields
should have strips OF plowed land planted
10 rye, oats, and millet that all the
moths may be kept on the infested
farms, and fought there where their
enemies will usually keep them from do
ing serious damage the next season, il
the other precautions are taken.
Notify the Experiment Station at
Brookings, 8. D., OF any farm pests or
