taxes Elac0 sunday.
One Of the saddest and most terrible
accidents that has occurred on the
South Side took place yesterday morn
ing about nine o'clock, at Boggs' run
mines at Forty-eighth street August
Teller, who had been employer for a
number of years as a coal digger at the
Boggs mines, was killed and his body
horribly mutilated.
Teller had gone to work at o'clock
with the other diggers, and when 60
ing in the mine complained of feeling
sick. He worked. however, for several
hours, but grew worse and decided to
quit work. He started to walk out and
had gone some distance when a coal
train of half a dozen cars of loaded
coal caught up to him going out He
jumped on board the third car from
the rear and stood on the coupling
between the cars. The coal train con-
tinued on it's way, drawn by the long
cable.
The train had run for some distance
further when the men in charge of the
coal train saw Fellers fall from where
he was standing on the coupling and
drop under the cars.
1t is presumed that he became dizzy
from sickness and lost his hold. His
fall was so sudden and unexpected
that it was absolutely impossible to
help him. The cable still moved re-
lentlessly on and three or four loaded
cars passed over his body. Nearly
every bone in his body was broken,
and with the exception of the right
arm, both arms and legs were crushed
and cut. The body was otherwise bad
ly mutilated. A horrible cut of over a
foot in length extended across the
back and half foot deep. There were
several other bad cuts, any of which
were sufficient to cause death, and
numerous bruises. The train of cars
had passed over his body before the
engine could be signalled to stop the
cable. The mangled body Of Fellers
was picked up and carried to his home
near the mouth of the mine, immedi-
ately adjoining the residence of Supt.
Kuntz. Life was not entirely extinct,
and Fellers lived until nearly eleven
the only words he uttered were: Hold
my arm" murmured once.
The deceased was we'll known and
possessed many friends in the lower
end Of the city. He was of an indus
trious, thrifty character, and these
qualities helped him to provide well
for his family and accumulate some
property. He was about As years of
age and of German descent. He
leaves wife and three small children.
He was member of several secret or
CARNATIONS, including Welcome Lodge
A. 0. U. W.. Odd Fellows, Druids and
Red Men. He was also member Of
the Mozart Singing Society, who
missed his genial presence at their reg
ular meeting last night. The funeral
of the deceased will occur Sunday
afternoon and doubtless will be very
largely attended.

INSECTS INJURING APPLES.
A Cheap and Effective Method of Combat
ing Insects on Apple Trees.

A Cheap and Effective Method of Combat
ing Insects on Apple Trees.
Bulletin No. SO of the Missouri Agri-
cultural experiment station, Columbia,
by Prof. j. NJ. Stedman, reports the re-
suits of elaborate experiments with
means of preventing two insects very
injurious to apple trees, and describes
cheap and efficient methods of combat
ting them.
The insect known as the apple leaf
folder may. be readily killed by thor
oughly spraying infested trees or
nursery stock just as soon as the young
insects begin to hatch. and before they
have had time to fold the leaves to any
considerable extent. The spraying
should be done just as the apple tree
leaves are unfolding.
The spraying mixture should be made
as follows: One pound of Paris Green.
three pounds of fresh lime. $50 gallons
of water.
Since there are three broods of this
insect each year, there are three periods
during which spraying Ear be most
successfully done.

very injurious to apple trees. may be
readily killed by thoroughly spraying
the infested trees while the leaves are
unfolding and before the blossoms
open, with the same mixtures as rec
commended above.
If Unnecessary, the trees may be sprayed
again Immediately after all the bios
SONS have fallen, but in this case the
amount of water in the mixture should
be increased to IT'S gallons.
Never spray a fruit tree while it is in
blossom; serious injury to the blossom
and imperfect po~llination may result,
and in many instances honey bees will
be killed.
Never omit the fresh lime, and al
ways use two or three times as much
lime by weight as paris green. This
will lessen the chances of burning the
leaves and injuring the trees. Spray
with a mixture of the strength Just
given. To make it weaker is to render
it less effective in killing insects; to
make it stronger is to injure the
foliage of the trees. Always see that
the mixture is kept constantly stirred
while spraying. Apply with much
force as possible, and use as fine a spray
as can be made. Spray thoroughly.
Hold the spray on the tree long enough
to ~saturate it and to reach all parts.

MISSOURI A NEWS.
Those University Acres.

The secretary of the interior has held
up an order issued by the authority of
his predecessor comforting $4,000 acres
of land upon the State University of
Missouri as an addition to its endow-
ment fund.
Under an old act Of congress Missouri was
entitled to something like 4s. 900 acres OF land
for the establishment of an agricultural college.
and was authorized to take alternate sections
along the lines Of land grant railroads at
double the maximum price for public lands, or
ESQ per acre. BY taking such alternate sec
tions the state only got half as many acres as it
would have been entitled to out Of the ordinary
domain.
1t so happened that IS, 0C0 acres along 4 branch
line Of the San Francisco road in Missouri was
taken for this college, and that this branch was
never completed. whereupon a demand for 49,
900 additional acres was made upon Secretary
Francis and allowed by him. A similar demand
previously made by Kansas under almost
exactly similar circumstances had been
refused. whereupon the kansanS entered
a protest against the contamination OF the Mis-
souri, deal. holding that il Missouri was entitled
to any such additional acreage for educational
purposes. Kansas must be treated the same way.
Secretary Bliss takes this view Of the matter.

No More Breaks. But Former Crevasses
Widening.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 1S.-No more
breaks are reported in the Louisiana
levee district tonight, although the
entertainments at Hancock and Ferri-
day, i'll the northern part of Concordia
parish, are reported to be very weak
and a break may occur at any hour.
The crevasse at Biggs is now a seeth-
ing torrent and the waters are spread
ing rapidly throughout Madison par
ish.
At Cowpen the levee is seeping badly,
and although a superhuman effort is
being made to hold it, many expert
enced river men are of the opinion that
a break will occur sooner or later.
The town of Vidalia is in a very crit
ical condition and many of the inhab-
itants are hastily packing their most
valuable effects and are fleeing to
Natchez. The waters from the Bipps
crevasse are expected to inundate the
town by Wednesday.
At Natchez refugees continue to ar
rive in large numbers. while live stock
of every description is coming into the
city in large droves. Thousands of
men line the lower levees tonight.

TEXAS FEVER.
Results of the Elaborate Experiments on
texas Fever at the Missouri Experiment.
~station-The Dipping Process.

Results of the Elaborate Experiments on
Texas Fever at the Missouri Experiment
Station-The Dipping Process.
Elaborate experiments on Texas
fever have been conducted at Columbia
during the past year by the Missouri
experiment station and the state board
of agriculture, cooperating with the
Texas experiment station. Bulletin
No. 81 by DR.. J. W. Connaway, just is
sued, reports the results of these tests.
1t was clearly demonstrated that the
Texas tick is the natural means of COM
municating the disease from one ami
NAL to another. Ticks Matched in the
laboratory when puton Missouri Short
horn cows in lots free from any posi-
BILE infection, produced fatal cases of
Texas fever in every instance within
from IL to 1Sdays after the young ticks
were placed on the animal.
The Texas station dipped a car load
of Texan cattle, all of which were COW
cred with the Texas fever tick, and
shipped the dipped cattle to the Mis-
souri, authorities.
LOOK LIKE A SUCCESS.
These cattle were dipped in a West
Virginia mineral oil at a cost of less
than five cents per head. The Missouri
station confined these dipped Texan
cattle in a small lot with a number of
Shorthorn cows from the 18th of Au-
gust until the LIST of November, and
made careful daily observations and
temperature records, with the result
that no Texas fever was communicated.
If subsequent experiments confirm
these results, the dipping process
will be entirely practicable and
feasible, and a be easily and
cheaply done on a commercial scale,
and would enable the farmers of the
Mississippi valley to purchase and
bring to their farms with perfect safe
ty at any season of the year cheap
range cattle to eat their surplus corn
and grass.
An attempt was made to inoculate
cattle so that they would be proof
against this disease, with very promis-
ing results. These results are also in
a measure confirmed by experiments
that DIR. Connaway has just concluded
in Mississippi. on a car load of dairy
cattle shipped there from Kansas.
Twelve of these cattle had died of
Texas fever before the animals were
injected; none died ~afterward.
THE METHOD NOT EXPENSIVE.
The method is neither expensive nor
difficult, and if it proves to be success
full as it now promises, the entire Texas
fever district comprising a dozen states
will be opened as a market for thor
oughbred stock of the north and west,
inasmuch as these animals may then be
shipped to these states with entire
safety from loss. Extensive studies
and observations on the habits and
movements of the tick were made
which led to a number of important
practical conclusions in regard to the
best methods of disinfecting pastures,
etc.

ers and stockmen of Missouri and of

He has been our leader, counselor and friend for

nectional causes, and all our needy churches
have found in him their advocate and
friend: while in the homes Of rich and poor

have chosen to remain here. where his name
has been a household word for 4 quarter of a
