Bean weevil.-There is no way to
prevent the bean weevil from deposit
ing its eggs in the young beans. What
can be done to lessen the evils is the
destroy the larvae in the beans after
harvesting, and thus prevent any great
increase Of the insects. Those making
a business of raising beans are careful
to destroy the larvae or grubs, and this
is done by placing the beans in tight
casks or compartments and there evap-
Grating, or volatilizinS. carbon bisul-
phide: another method is to subject the
beans for an hour to temperature OF
l45 degrees-this can be done without
impairing the vitality Of the seeds

DISCHARGED A REVOLVER
William Matthews, a Young Man Who
Lives on South Garfield Avenue,
Alarms the Neighborhood.

Yesterday morning between s and 8
O'Clock the residents in the vicinity of
120 South Garfield avenue, were star
tied by the report of a pistol shot heard
in the home of William Matthews at
that number. Mr.. Matthews, sr., had
gone to his work and there remained
in the house Mrs. Matthews and her
two sons, William, aged 21 years, and
n younger lad between IL and 13 years
of age.
For about six or seven weeks the
elder son has been out of work and at
times became very despondent over his
failure to secure employment. Yester-
day morning the mother had occasion
to reprimand the younger son and Will
liam evidently believed his mother
meant the Chastisement for him. With
out any word of warning he went into
an adjoining room and took from a
bureau drawer a 22-calibre revolver,
which contained one cartridge, and
discharged it. Whether the act was
done with suicidal intent is not known,
as the young man refused to make any
statement. The mother became alarm
ed and dispatched a messenger for DIR.
Comegys, who examined the young
man and found him suffering from ner-
VOus prostration. There was no evil
dencc that he had injured himself, al
though he fell in a fit after the re-
Volver was discharged. A thorough
investigation of the room failed to re-
veal any evidence of the shooting,
which strengthens the belief that the
revolver contained blank cartridge.
Young Matthews formerly worked
for John Reese, the South Main avenue
grocer, and came into possession of the
weapon while in his employ. George,
a son of Mr.. Reese, heard Matthews
say he would like to possess a revolver
when delivering goods in lonely places
and the revolver was given him by
young Reese at that time.
Matthews has been subject to hys-
terra for some time, and his parents
believe that he was suffering from a
temporary alteration, when he took the
revolver out and discharged it.

hands of a committee composed of the
following ladies: Mrs. A. G.. Mitchell,
Mrs. Dane Brink, Mrs NJ. Wilds, Mrs.
Francis Brink and Miss Eva Osterhout,
and 1t was due to their efforts that the
evening was socially successful. An
excellent programme, replete with pa
triotic music, recitations and speeches,
was most effectively rendered. The
speaker of the evening was Mrs. Name
Crabb, councillor of the society. She
spoke in glowing terms of the object of
the society and referred to America as
the next place to the shining shore.
Her remarks were full of true Ameri-
can patriotism and were well received.
Following the entertainment was a
