County Roads.

County Commissioner George Ingle-
hart and Henry Meyer arrived in the
city on Wednesday evening and this
morning, in company with Commits
sioner smith and William Scherffius
they drove out to take steps for es-
tablishing two county roads. One of
them is on the line between Getty and
Raymond near the Morris Scherffius
places.
The other starts at Unity post Office
in Getty, thence east mile to point
in the road directly south of this city,
thence south two miles, one mile in
Getty and one in Lake George. This
is an extension of the south road to
connect with the direct road to Bel

Fight 'Ern.

This section of county is threatened
with a grave evil-a pest which must
be strenously fought and exhausted,
or they will do an enormous amount OF
damage. The caterpillar has been in
evidence in this vicinity for several
years, and thus far has been most de-
structive of foliage on the willow,
large groves having been denuded of
leaves for successive seasons until
many fine and vigorous trees have sue
cumbed. This spring another type of
the pest has appeared in large num-
bers, the wild fruit trees being, in
many locations, fairly covered with
their silky nests. The bass woods
and ash trees in the city are worst af-
fected, some of them having already
been stripped of their tender leaves.
Prof. Stanton sent specimen to the
state entermologist at the university,
and received the following letter, which
SHOULD be acted upon:
ST. ANTHONY PARK, MINI,
May, 10, 1897.
My Dear Professor:
The eggs you mailed are those of
the teat caterpillar cLisTo campa
americana. The worms will cause
very much trouble if you do not kill
them as soon as possible. To do SO
you have to spray your trees with
Paris green, 1lspoonful to a pail full
of water 10 which you should. add
little lime to neutraliz9 any free arsen-
iors acid. This will kill all the We rms.
You may expect trouble for at least
two years in the third year disease
will destroy the pest. But have thus
far failed to propagate this disease in
an artificial way but may yet have
success. If the trees are still small
you have to cut off the eggs during
autumn, winter or early spring, where
they are readily detected.
I am not practical horticulturist
but l know that box elder trees are
best trimmed when in dornout con-
dition, early in spring. Please adj
wise ne about the actions you take in
regard to these worms.
Yours Very Respectfully.

Quack Grass.

C. f. Bohall is enthusiastic over
his method of killing quack grass,
while he does not claim to be father OF
the scheme, as he got his ideas from
Summerville of the State Institute, he
nevertheless strongly vouches for its
efficacy in disposing of this trouble
some pest. He had five acres SO
thoroughly rooted with quack grass
as to be worthless. He plowed il in
June and after three or four days
plowed it again and kept up the plow-
ing process with a lapse of from three
to five days between, for three weeks.
The object of constant blowing is to
keep the sod SO stirred as to prevent it
from sprouting.
Bohall is now wiling to offer prem
ium for each spear of quack grass that
can be found on his place. Farmers
would do we'll to give this attention as
It may result ina good many valuable
pieces of land being redeemed by this
simple and inexpensive procedure.

At a mass meeting of the citizens
held at the assembly room on Wednes-

The citizens are taking hold of this
matter with a vim that means nothing
short of grand success. They feel
that the reputation of S.luk centre is
at stake and that they must rise to
meet the occasion.
Hustling committees have been APP
pointed, and no labor nor money will
be spared to make this a holiday
long to be remembered. Extra efforts
will be made to have grand pro-
cession and an unusual amount of
sports. Aside from the stereotyped
creased pole and pig, sack races etc,
there will be novelties in the line of
sports introduced.
Arrangements are being made to
have several brass bands here and
there will be music galore. space for
bids us mentioning all of the great
attractions, which will be fully ex-
planned on posters.
The country and surrounding towns
are extended cordial invitation to

The mass meeting appointed the
following executive committee who
will have full charge of the celebra-

probably falsely so. that this princely
sum of something like 10000, 900 francs
| has been squandered. At any rate it
| has always been hoped that q ray of
returning reason would permit the I'M
| fortunate woman to settle her own at
fairs. OF late, in fact within the past
| few months, Carlota's condition has
| been improving, and from this point
begins the interesting portion of the
story to MeXicans.
The physicians of the eX-Empress
are of the opinion that a sea voyage
would be of incalculable benefit to the
| patient, and more, that if she might be
permitted to return to the land about
which clustered some of the brightest
memories of her life, and revisit the
| scenes OF those days, the associations
| might gather together the broken
| threads of her clouded mind and the
darkness which has reigned for so many
years might be dispelled. Such things
have occurred. and it is not impossible
bic that they might occur again.
| This is the project which brought
Prince Kevenhuller on his recent visit
to Mexico. 1t is said that he has been
successful. 1t is understood that he
delicately sounded the Government as
to whether her proposed visit would in
convenience the Government in any
way and that the reply was that it
would not.
"Of course if the ex-Empress comes
she Will still be under the delusion that
she is Empress of Mexico 1t would
be necessary to indulge her in all these
fancies.
Perhaps the royal couch which lies
furnished and covered with dust in the
National Museum; the old familiar
scenes at Chapultepec, where many of
the imperial trappings are still to be
seen; the hills at Cuernavaca, which
never change, and where her royal hus-
band loved best to spend the mild win
ter days. may take the unhappy
woman back to the hour when she part
ed from the Emperor on the hopeless
mission to obtain the assistance OF
Louis Napoleon or the intercession of
the Pope of Rome OF course, these are
purely speculations, but the Mexican
people who bear Carlota no i'll will. and
who know that republicanism is toe
firmly planted in the hearts of the peo-
pie ever to be endangered by the CLAM
or of royalty from any source, will hope
that it all may be true.
The gentleman who gives out this
/ information Vouches for its absolute
correctness, but no confirmation could

LIGHTHOUSE IMP ROVEMENTS.
Changes That fave Been riade in
Lights and Lenses.

An article about lighthouses, entitled
The Lights that Guide in the Night, -
is contributed by Lieutenant John M
Ellicott to the st Nicholas" After
telling of the growth in the number of
lighthouses, Lieutenant Ellicott says:
Meantime the means of lighting was
being steadily improved The open fire
gave place to the oil lamp; then a
curved mirror, called a parabolic mir
ror. was placed behind the lamp to
bring the rays together; next, many
lamps with mirrors were grouped about
a central spindle and some such lights
are still in operation. The greatest
stride came when an arrangement of
lenses, known as thief resnel lens, in
front of a lamp replaced the mirror
behind it. This lens was RAPIDLY i'm
proved for lighthouse purposes, until
now a cylindrical glass house surrounds
the lamp flame This house has lens
shaped walls which bend all the rays
to form a horizontal zone of strong
light which pierces the darkness to a
great distance.
The rapid increase in the number of
lighthouses has made it necessary to
have some means of telling one from
another, or, as it is termed, of giving
to each light its characteristic" Col
oring the glass made the light DINNER,
but as red comes most nearly TO white
light in brightness, some lights have
red lenses. The latest and best plan,
however, is to set upright pcisms at
intervals in circular framework
around the lens, and to revolve this
frame by clockwork. Thus the light is
made to flash every time prism passes
between it and the observer. By chang
ing the number and places of the
prisms, or the speed of the clockwork.
the flashes for any one light can be
made to occur at intervals of so many
seconds for that light. Putting in red
prisms gives still othe rchanges. Thus
each light has it's characteristic" and
this is written down in signs on the
charts, and fully stated in the lights
lists carried by vessels. Thus, on q
chart you may note that the light you
want to sight is marked IF. W. V. w
FL, 10-sec.," which means that it is
fixed white varied by white flashes
every ten seconds" When a light is
sighted you see if those are it's char
acteristics; and, If so, you have found
the right one

BARNETT HELD FOR TRIAL.
THE RESULT OF A ROW OVER A
POKER GAME.
Ben Cobb Was Very Penitent In the
Police Court Yesterday and Was
Let OF With Fine of $40 and
Costs.

Charles Barnett. a negro aged %
years, was yesterday bound over by
Justice Wenger to the district court for
trial on a charge of assault with intent
to kill. The evidence before Justice
Wenger disclosed that on the night of
the 10th inst. the defendant and one
Fred Collins, a negro gambler, played
poker at Is Commercial street and
quarreled. The next night they met in
the saloon at the same number and
renewed the quarrel. Barnett was put
out of the house by the porter of the
saloon, but returned a few minutes
later, and as he entered the door he
threw stone Weighing five pounds at
Collins, which was lodged, and then
Barnett rushed at Collins with
pOcketknife and cut deep cash under
Collins left arm. A general fight en-
sued, in which no other serious dam
age was done. The amount of the
bond for Barnett was fixed at $500,
which he was unable to give. and in
default was committed to the county
Jail.
