AN EFFECTIVE FLY.
1t Slaughters the Rose Bug in
Murderous Style.

For about a week now Pref. a. k0e-
belle, the Government entomolog,st has
been watching the breeding Of a fly
that has a peculiar affection for the
japanese beetle, sometimes called the
rose bug. This fly hunts out the beetle
and deposits upon ii a living maggot
A female fly during its lifetime of
three to five months produces in the
neighborhOod Of 100000 of these tiny
white worms The maggOt develops
into a fly. In the laboratory of Pro-
fessOr Koebele may be seen the young
fly issuing from the cave of the dead
beetle. On grounds here selected for
experiment the fys were noticed TO
hunt into crevices for the beetle. Pro-
fessor Koebele used this fly against
the grasshopper in California with
signal success. The fly disappeared
soon after the grasshOpper pest was
driven away. 1t is moderately certain
that the fly will die here when it ceases
to find the rose bug or some other
destructive insect. The new enemy Of
the beetle resembles very much a house
fly, being of about the same size, but
a trife lighter in color. Professor
is now using for the purpose
Of breeding the fly a consignment oil
beetles sent from Kauai, but unac-
by a letter Of advice.

James Macpherson, hotel-keeper in
the village of Lancaster, GIengarry
/ County, has done business for a number
OF years in Lancaster, and having sue

some of his ailments and how he was
cured. About two years ago ne said.

to become disordered. Some DAYS I
could move around, than again would
be obliged to go to bed. tried several
things but with Indifferent success.
Occasionally I felt relieved, but in a
day or two the old symptoms would
return with a more depressing effect.
This kind of thing went on until I
became troubled with my kidneys.

the fame of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
My wife beMved in them and urged me
to try them. 1 am glad I did so, for
after taking one box [ felt better. and
1 continued taking the pills until I was
completely cured. This summer I had
an attack of the same complaints and
l found DR.. Williams Pink Pills as
effective as before. I had this advan-
tage, my knowledge and belief in the
pills saved me from costly and tedious
experimenting such as [ had undergone
previously. [ may further add that
both myself and Mrs Macpherson have
derived much benefit from the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and I can
cordially recommend them to those

The excitement In Chicago over the at

HES prlsents the spsctsele OF an outraged
community reaching tho limit OF forbear-
ance With corrupt miunicl:l polttics.
The great trouble with the American
people is that they bottle their political
virtue too long and are only aroused to
the necessity for vigorous protest against
officiel misconduct and government abuses
at the eleventh hour. They indifferently
suffer ward politicians to control NOM
mating conventions and place boodlers or
self-seeking adventurers in office, and
then lily into q spasm OF Indignation be-

CHANGING AGRICULTURAL CON-
nIrlONs.

Wholesale merchants in this and other
cities In Texas have noted the fact this
fall, according to reports in commercial
circles. that the Texas farmers are pur-
chasing less meat aud sraia and other
usual plantation or farm supplies than
during any preceding season.
The fact is attributed partly to the low
price for cotton. but chiefly to the greater
amtirt OF home s,tpplias IAiSad GA tae

freely forced upon the farmer, coupled with
his salutary experiences during the past
two or three years. is beginning TO bear
