The Outlook is for an Abund-

Next Year.

( An examination Of the trees and
bushes in this locality will show that
there are ABUNDANT grounds for be-
lieying that the caterpillar plague
will lie IN evidence here again next
year. 5. A. Siverts brought down
from his home ON Third street num-
her Of tree branches Monday MORN
Ing, upon which there were numer-
Gus collections Of caterpillar eggs.
Weeds and bushes In Ill parts Ut the
city are loaded the same.
The state authorities ON such pests
claim that II some manner they will
he destroyed in the thir' year, but
they advise THAI the eggs be removed
from trees III much as possible. Tie
eggs are gathered IN clusters around
the small branches, and extend over
the branch for about half IN inch.
Now that the lea ves are of the trees,
the collections III eggs IRE easily seen.
The dest ructiOn of the eggs ON the
premises will greatly decrease the
visits of pests next season. a@ 1t IL

for the Democratic and Populist par

BORASH PLEADED GUILTY.
He Was Fined SIS and Costs
for Burglarlzing Geissel's
Store Monday Night.

John Borash. Jr., one Of the young
men arrested for. the burglary ut
Geissel's store in North Prairie Mon
day night, pleaded guilty to u charge
Of petit larceny before Justice ORA
goo, Mt RoyaltOn. Thursday. and
was fined SIS and costs, with the
alternative of eighty DAYS in jail,
.Borash, when arrested, implicate
Theodore Sobiak in the burglary,
and he was also arrested. Before
the trial the authorities investigated
the evidence against Sobiak and it
was found that he could prove con-
clusivcly that he was not u party to
the crime, and he was discharged. - =.
Borash then implicated Stanley
Lempka, another resident of that
locality, and he was also arrested,
hut he too could prove II complete
alibi, and was discharged.
Borash finally admitted that h.
was alone in the deal, and as it was
pretty certain that it. was not his
first offence the justiceimposed fine
very near the limit. Under the charge
to which he pleaded guilty. o.,
Constable A. A. Morrill, brought
Borash to this city last night and
he was lodged in the county jail.
where he will have to serve a SEN
tence of eighty days, unless the fine
and costs are paid.
The prisoner. it is said, has no
money to pay the fine. but his rela-
tives will probably pay it for him
and secure his release.

MENDlNG ST. CLOUDS DAM.
Benson Has Force Employed
Atthe Dam.-$5.OOO Appro-
priated is Inadequate.

st. Cloud Journal Press: Receiver
Benson of the Water, Power & Mill
company has force Of about twen-
ty men with numerous teams en-
ployed in the repairs to the dam. for
which authority has been secured
from the United States court. The
heaviest repairs are being made to
the west end of the dam which was
so seriously injured by the pounding
Of the logs over 1t last and the pre-
ceding springs. 1t is the intention
Of Mr.. Benson 10 make an I'M i)Ortc ut
change in the pitch" ut this end OF
the dam so that the logs will in
future slide down the, incline rather
than fan directly upon the apron.
The east end of the dam will also
receive considerable attention and it
may be found necessary to carry the
repairs entirely across 1t. Quanti-
ties of timber and stone are being
used in the Improvement and Mr..
Benson is Of the opinion that the
$1,000 ordered appropriated by the
court for the improvements will be
but q starter. ON the work. He does
not think that the repairs will be
finally completed before January l.
