AND YELLOW JACK.
A Suggestion That the Tree May Ex-
cIude the Pest.

From the Toledo Blade.
Nelson G. Trefry has a plan of encour-
aging nature by the propagation of trees
that will relieve the country OF malaria
and fever The plan, to the casual OBJ
server, may seem somewhat unusual, and
may even appear to be visionary, but an
investigation into its merits, as established
by scientific men, win show what IL may
be worth to our people in the fever-strlck-
en- districts.
The plan, in simple, Is 10 plant the Gu
calyptus globuus, or Tasmanian blue gum
tree, IN the fever districts, and the tree
will do the rest This tree has the reputa-
ton OF possessing the property of drying
up the earth and absorbing malaria.
MIR Trefry, who has been gardner In
Toledo for six years, has a number of rare
exotics that he has picked up in his travels
about the world.
Mr.. Trefry has a specimen of the Aus
tralian blue gum tree which he proposes
to plant in Cuba and Porto.
"They grow to be 200 feet In hight" said
Mr.. Trefry. ''Their growth is rapid, and
| this Is perhaps one of the reasons for their
| peculiar merit The eucalyptus has these
| slender, leathery leaves, and you notice
the quantity Of aromatic oil which they
contain. In some of the eucalyptus each
side Of the leaves Is equally exposed 10
the hgnI. Inc ttGt when BIOWHf tlHs ~
great commercial value. When green, the
wood Is soft, but when 1t gets dry IL is
hard and very tough II Is better than
hickory as a frewood. 1t may be used for
shipbuilding and for cabinet work, as well
The tree also produces kino, a substitute
for qulnine, while the bark is more valua-
BILE than other trees in the production Of
tannin."
These words Of Mr.. Trefry are backed
up by late encyclopedias and medical au-
thorities. II Is stated that the use OF the
tree in fever districts In Algeria, Roman
Campagna and the Cape of Good Hope
has been attended with the best results.
Mr.. Trefry himself knows the worth of
these trees in Fresno valley, california,
where their use made habitable what is
now one Of the best districts in that great
state.
Mr. Trefry speaks OF this in a letter to
j. II. Brigham OF the department of agri-
culture. lie also gives a few facts in re-
gard to his experience. For the last TWEEN
ty-ive years he has devoted his entire
time to Horticulture and horticulture He
has worked for the Chicago Horticulture
Company, the private place Of J. c. Flood
at Menlo Park, Cal; w II. Kelsey nurse
ryman, Oakland, and was gardner for
the Panama Canal Company, with head
quarters In Colebra, for several years.
HIS proposition 10 the government for
the propagation OF the trees is most rea-
sonable The plan is fair as Mr. Trefry
does not ask the government for a con-
tract for planting the trees, but merely
wants the supervision Of the work, the gov
eminent itself to handle the trees. MIR
'rrefry expects to make Toledo his home
for the rest OF his life and would merely
20 to Porto Rico temporarily and would
not think Of giving up his business here.

inst, as foreshadowed in a former dis
patch in the Morning News, has resulted

submitted 10 the consolidators were very
irregular in many particulars. Erasions
appeared on the returns in which 1t APP
peared that each candidate had received
a large number of votes. Under the

to have received all the votes cast, which
was necessary to elect by a scant major
ity Of less than a dozen votes.
Afldavits have been made by parties
living near the precinct that their votes
were counted for the candidates against
whom their ballots were cast. Other affi-
davits have been made, that during the
election at Gin House precinct, a drunken
man seized the ballot box and fired off his
pistol, scattering the managers of the
election, and then proceeded 10 scatter the
ballots over the house.

Jacksonville, Fla, August 3l.-The
parade of the Seventh army corps to-
cay was the most magnificent military
pageant ever seen in Jacksonville.
Nearly 10000 men were in line and
every regiment presented a fine ap-
pearance. Fortunately good weather
favored the soldiers and not a drop
of rain fell during the day. The pro-
ceSSion started past the reviewing
stand occupied by General Lee and
staff at $40 o'clock and it was 80
O'Clock before the last regiment march
ed by. The streets along the line of
march were lined with thousands of
people who Cheered and applauded the
soldiers, each regiment seemingly get
ting its full share of applause. Colo
mel William Jennings Bryan. in COM
mand of the Third Nebraska regiment,
received a continuous ovation all along
the line of march. The march was a
very tedious one for some of the regi-
mentS that are encamped outside Of
the city limits and the ambulance car
ried a good many men back to camp.
So far as reported, however, there
were no serious effects as the result OF
the parade.
The soldiers made a splendid ap-
pearance in their khaki trousers and
blue shirt All carried their ponchos
as we'll, but for the first time in a
great parade in the city had no use
for them.
