A SURE CURE
Bi-Sulphide of Carbon Promptly Kills
Tree Borers

SAN JOSE. Cal, Nov 13.-At the meet
ing of the San Jose Grange today there
was an animated discussion of the use
Of b-sulphide of carbon for destroying
worms or borers on fruit trees. Reports
showed that the Orchardists of the
county are making extensive use of the
remedy. In some few instances reports
of injury were made. This, it was
shown, was where too much of the solu-
tion was applied directly to the body of
the tree.
1t evaporates very rapidly and seems
to burn the trees by something similar
to freezing.
The remedy was heartily endorsed by
the Grange as the best ever found, even
a perfect one.
horticultural Commissioner Ehrhorn
recommends that the bi-suphide be not
put directly on the tree. He says: dig
a little circular ditch around the tree at
the base about an inch away from the
wood. Put the bi-sulphide of carbon in
the trench and cover ever. In forty
eight hours every worm or borer in the
tree will be dead. If there are any ap-
pearances of injury to the trees, uncover,
and all of the stuff will evaporate and
be gone. I recommend about one ounce
to the tree. and If so used, no harm can
result
The Grange is taking steps to organize
a Farmers Club and may open club
rooms here. This will not be a secret
organization but free to all members
A reading room will be maintained if
this is done.
A large delegation of the fruit growers
are expected to go to Sacramento to at
tend the State convention of growers
there four days next week, commencing
on the 10th.

BROKEN BANKS
Indiana and Wisconsin Depositors
Are the Sufferers

ENGLISH, Ind, Nov. 13.-The Eng
lish Bank has failed to open it's doors
today. Coupled with this came the re-
port that President Willett, of the
Leavenworth branch. had not been seen
for three days and that his mind was
temporarily unbalanced over the death
of his mother. AS soon as the failure be-
came known, the banks branches at
I.eavenworth. Cannelton and MarengO,
also closed. Nearly every farmer and
business man in Crawford and Perry
counties Is said to be concerned in the
failure for amounts ranging from $20c
to $4,000 County Treasurer Brown had
placed more than $4,000 with the sus-
pended bank. No schedule of assets
and liabilities can be given, but both
are large.
AMIGO, Wis, Nov. 13.-The Bank of
Amigo closed its doors today by order
of the Board of Directors ON account
of Irregularities in the books as found
by the bank examiner. An application
was made for receiver. Deposits will
be paid in full. The extent of the ir-
regularities Is not known.
LEAVEN Nov. 13-Three
banks. respectively located in this city
posits estimated to aggregate $780, OOO,
have closed their doors. r. H. Willett,
cashier of the parent bank in this city,
and principal stockholder in the other
two concerns. has left for parts un-
known. His wife has received letter
from him stating that he has almost
lost his mind and that he will not re-
turn to the scene of financial disaster.
County officials and educational
trustees are sufferers from the crash,
and one death may be the direct result.
Treasurer T.. p. Brown of Crawford
county, had upwards Of 100000 county
funds deposited in the bank in this city.
When told today of the failure he faint
ed and tonight he is in a critical condi-
tion.
The revenue collected for school pur-
poses was all on deposit in the banks
schools in Crawford and Perry counties
will have to be closed as the trustees
have lost all their money.
POKANE-Postmaste Mallon today
caused the arrest of Mayor Olmstead,
A. A. Newberry. u. B. Hyde and D. F.
Wetzel, all prominent citizens. They
were officers and directors of the de-
funct Citizens National bank, which
failed with deposit Of $8,110 of post
Office money. AS the bank was not a
United States depository the loss fell
upon Postmaster Mallon's bondsmen He
charges the defendants with taking his

QUIT IN DISGUST
There Will Be No Southwestern Pas
senger Association

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-It is definitely
settled that there will be no Southwest
ern Traffic association. The executive
officers of the Chicago roads interested
in the business have refused to sign the
agreement and unless they do SO it Is
out of the question for the other roads
to think of forming an association that
will be sufficiently powerful to main
tain rates.
This action of the executive officers Is
taken on account of the refusal of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas to agree to
the articles covering the redemption of
tickets.
The joint agent of the western lines on
Colorado business has submitted his
report Of the tourist business during the
summer of 1897. The traffic shows a
large falling or as compared with the
preceding summer, the decrease being
close to 30 per cent. The agent shows,
however, that the decrease is due in the
most part to the low rates made for the
Christian EndeavOr in San Francisco.
The actual number of tourists increased,
he says, over the preceding year, save
that larger percentage of them went
through to the coast instead of stopping
off in Colorado.

FEARS OF RASHNESS
LONDON, Nov. 13.-The Daily Tele-
graph in an editorial on the '1nham-
mable Condition of the Dispute Between
he United States and Spain" says:
"A rash act might at any moment
bring a war which could mean only ruin
for Spain"
The paper foresees that "the United
States will be bound to interfere to
stop the conflict in Cuba" but it refuses
to believe that the American people will
prefer "sanguinary and bare victory
over gallant and exhausted nation"
to 1.-The unfading laurels of a humane
mediator and Christian peacemaker."
A DUBIOUS OFFER.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-It is announced

secured on the lines of the old quick
silver loan, which is now nearly wiped
out. The Spanish cabinet. 1t is stated,
will consider the matter next Thursday.
The project is not regarded favorably
in this city and doubts are expressed
as to Hooley's ability to float it even If
Spain accepts, which is doubtful.

NEW YORK, Nov 13.-At the Polo

the Omaha Kid. bested Jack O'Brien in
a 15-round bout. They had previously
spared two draws. The attendance
was 1900. Both men worked hard and
fast from the moment they shook hands.
Gardner was the quicker, his work be-
ing clean cut in every way. He landed
some very hard uppercuts on the chest
and neck with his left, any one of which
would have been sufficient to undo any
ordinary man, but O'Brien was in ex-
cellent condition. He received the bulk
Of the punishment in the first ten rounds
but kept on gamely, although he was
bleeding from the mouth and nose and
his eyes were badly injured from the
frequent visitations of the Kids left
hand.
Gardner never lost one opportunity
of getting in his left hand blows and
had O'Brien very weak when the gong
ended the bout. Gardner clearly out
pointed his adversary, and the referee
declared the Omaha man the winner.

BERLIN, Nov. 13.--It is semi officially
announced today that the German
squadron in Chinese waters has been
ordered to the Coast of Shan Tong to
anchor in the vicinity of the scene of the
recent murder of German missionaries

a mission house at Yen Chu Flu in the
Chinese province Of Shan Tong, and
killed two missionaries named Mes and
Hennle, two others, Zeigler and Stens,
being reported missing.

found that the percentage of dis
charges of patients by reason of recov-
cry and restoration to reason to be very
large; that the patients are humanely
and skillfully treated, and that the con-

such institutions are supported by the

The board also called attention to the
fact that the danger from fire is In

report OF George Fl. Orr, President, who
mas Just returned from visit to the
Pacific Coast in the interest of the asso-
citation. After lengthy review Of the
situation In the Coast cities, Mr.. Orr
recommended that the c. W. A. recog-
nize the California Association of Cy-
cling Clubs. Mr.. Orr claims that this
step was absolutely necessary to en-
able the Pacific Coast clubs affiliated
with the c. w. A. to promote good rae
ing meets. The association decided to
accept Mr.. Orr's report. This will likely
lead to rupture in the relations between
the l.. A. w. and the c. A. w. Before
