After FIVE years of litigation, Referee
b. F. Bonham, appointed by the su-

charged with wholesale murder and sc.

right man.
The man arrested was preaching the
gospel few miles out from Eagan-
Vile, at a secluded county settlement
Deputy sheriff Bomsn Cannon has
gone after the man with papers ready
for extraditiou.
Rev. Francis Icrmans Is wanted here
for atrocious crimes, whose details

newspaper readers. lie is charged
with the murder Of Henrietta Clauscn,

not the only oifense Of which the ex.
pastor is believed guilty. Circum.

appearance from this city In May, 1890,

state Board 81 Horticulture Urges ihat
spraying be Continued.
The Utah state board Of horticulture
has issued the following address to
fruit growers II contains some Valu-
able information.
II isofutmost Importance that spray
ing Of apple trees be continued during
the next five weeks In order to protect
the late apples from the ranges OF the
second crop Of Goblin moth worms.
The life history Of the Goblin moth
as given by cntomologists aud observed
by orchardists proves that there are
several broods Of worms each year
In northern and central Utah the first
brood for 1897 is just emerging from
the apple aud prepared to undergo the
transformation from worm TO moth.
This change will be complete In
about sixteen days from the time the
worm leaves the apple. Consequently
from July 18th to 2jth there will be a
second crop Of moth flying and depos'
iting eggs for the brood OF worms to
iufest the late apples. The ravagcs
Of this later brood ofworms are notice
able In the great number OF worm
holes in the sides Of winter apples
which, while not utterly ruined, are
nevertheless, rendered unstable and
untitled for long keeping. These linz
projections, II allowed, will always
initiate against fruit when placed
In competition with the fruit Of care
fully cultivated orchards that have
been properly sprayed.
Many people have received the enron
cous impression regarding the results
OF spraying through the statements
often published by commonly accepted
authorities 10 the effect that two OF
three sprayings In the spring are sun
Client This would bc correct were IL
a physical possibility to kill every
worm Matched In the first brood. Such
however is impossible and In the most
carefully sprayed orchards there will
be enough worms escape the first spray
ing TO produce a second brood In July
sufficient TO ruin the entire crop Of
winter apples.
The above suggestions are prompted
by the experience Of the members OF
the state board Of horticulture during
the past four years and are confirmed
by the most successful fruit growers
In Utah and elsewhere.
We therefore urge that all the late
apples be sprayed with paris green at
least three times between July Is aud
August IS.

Washington, July i3.-Thc admins
tration has taken steps TO keep It's
grip on Hawaii. Any aggressive inter
ference on the part OF Japan will re-
suit in the landing of marines and the
hoisting OF the American flag with or
without the ratification OF the pending
annexation treaty.
The administration, realizing that
some crisis might arise while the treaty
still hangs FIRE In the senate, has taken
steps TO be prepared for any cmer-
gency.
Rear Admiral Bcardslcc will have,
when the next steamer arrives In Hon
olulu, instructions giving him power
TO act at the first sign OF aggression on
the part Of Japan or trouble OF any
kind with which the local authorities
are not able to cope. Rear Admiral
Beardslee will be given sufficient force
TO carry out the programme that events
may force upon him.
1t is definitely settled that the bat
tlcship Oregon, now en- route TO San
Francisco from Seattle, will be dis
patched TO Hawaii as soon as she can
be prepared for the voyage. This will
give Admiral Beardslcc three vessels
the Oregon, Philadelphia and Marion.
Japan has at present but one vessel
In the harbor at Honolulu, the cruiser
Naniwa. She has another cruiser at
San Francisco awaiting orders which
may take her TO the Hawaiian islands.
