CATERPlLLARS ASTOUNDING.
A Suggestion How to Preserve Fruit
Trees From Them.

Caterpillars are making considera-
BILE raVages upon the foliage of fruit
and bass wood trees in the city and
surrounding country. A gentleman
who has tried it the past week with
success, suggests means for preserv-
ing the fruit trees. He first gets the
caterpillars out of the trees and then
smears axle grease around the trunk
near the ground, making slippery
place perhaps six inces wide. The
season for the tiys that lays the eggs
is over, and the only way that the
caterpillars have to reach the foliage
is to climb up the trunks. They can
not pass the greese. The gentleman
tried wrapping cloth saturated with
kerosene around the tree trunks, but
as soon as the kerosene evaporated
the worms began crawling up again.
The grease worked like charm, how
ever, and also keeps other insects
from crawling up. The remedy or
preventative is we'll worth a trial by
others whose trees are suffering.

Mapleton, May 31.-Decoration Day
was gala day for Mapleton. The
| business houses were decorated with
flags and bunting, and IN the after.

honor to our dead heroes. At ten
o'clock in the morning the old soldiers,
the Relief Corps and the Sons of Vet.
Grams marched to the school house
where they were joined by the school
children, and all went to the opera
house, where short program was
given. From there they went to the
cemetery and decorated the graves.
At noon all partook of bountiful
dinner served in Union hall. After
dinner short addresses were given in
the opera house. The address by Mr..
Bagley deserves special mention,
being both eloquent and entertaining.
Mrs. Hotaling gave an able address.
The music conducted by Mr.. s. G.
Brooks was very pleasant feature
OF the entertainment, also the music
furnished by the German band. Take
it all in all it was one of the most sue
cessful decoration days ever observed
in Mapleton.
Monday evening, June 9Th, the
graduating exercises will be held in
the opera house. Those to graduate
are, Luella Davis, Katie Libby, Chas
Spaulding, Edward Weston, Geo..
Ware and Andrew McCarty

Extensive preparations are being

to be held June Sd, 4th and 9Th.
About two hundred delegates are ex-
pected.
State examinations are being held
in the high school this week.
The junior class of the high school,
feeling that it was too irksome duty
to entertain the seniors, as is the GUS
tom in our school, decided to give up
the party for this year, but the sophie
mores, thinking due respect must be
paid the class so soon to leave them,
entertained most royalty last Friday
night in Union hall. About Is were
present and all report most enjoya.

From Which Dan
gerOuS Blood
Poison Re-
suits.

1t matters not how blood
poison is acquired, whether by
Inheritance or accident, it is
a stubborn, obstinate disease
and one which the doctors find
themselves unable to success
fully treat. Whenever there is
the slightest impurity in the
blood, any accident which pro-
duces even a trivial bruise or
confusion of the flesh, is likely
to result seriously. Chronic
sores and ulcers often result
from such causes, and in many
cases they are so obstinate that
it takes years to get rid of them.
The doctors are unable to cure
such cases because potash and
mercury (the only remedies
which they ever prescribe for the
blood tend to shut in the pois-
on and dry it up in the blood.
Here it lies dormant for a while,
only to break out in more ag-
gravated form than before.
This treatment is continued
and the same conditions exist
for years, the old sore or ulcer
becoming a constant compan-
ion to those whom it aflicts.
Capt. J. H. McBrayer, the
well-known distiller of fine Ken
lucky WHISTLES, had just such
an experience, and he is so de-
lighted to find a cure after
many years of suffering that he
wants everybody to know just
how to get rid of these horrible
chronic sores. He now resides
at Lawrenceburg, KY, and
writes:
"Some years ago I was shot in the
left leg, receiving what I considered
only slight wound. The place was
slow in healing and became much
swollen, increasing in size and be-
coming quite angry-looking and in
famed. Before long it had devel-
oped into a running sore, and gave
me great deal of pain and incon-
venience. I was treated by many
doctors, and took a number of blood
remedies but none did me any good,
and did not seem to check the prog
ress of the sore. had heard Swift's

anticipate by nearly two centuries
the words of Patrick Henry, "Give
me liberty, or give me death" This
principle was enunciated at again at
Valley Forge at Ticonderoga, and on
every field where death has reaped a
harvest of heroes,
Then the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, wonderful document, but as
l read it 1 am perplexed. for as
Thomas Jefferson and his co-adjutors
were drafting it there came through
the open window, the clang of the
anvil as the smith forged letters for
the slave, as he stands up to read sail
men are created free and equal"
there comes to the ears of all the
rhythmic cry Of the autioneer pleading
for higher bid for human being,
created in the image and likeness of
God. they atfix their names, but the
toiling slave has no joy in it. no ray
of light penetrate the gloom Of his
life because his skin is black.
More than century passes
away, agitations and compro-
misses and finally an appeal to arms,
then that giant Of the west seizes the
pen and with one stroke, a new de-
claration is proclaimed when every
man in America becomes free. I
wonder that angelic hands did not
take the old liberty bell from it's rest
ing place, and from every city and
hamlet in the country cause it to
peal forth from it's brazen throat an
other anthem of JOY, then crush it to
dust, because it's services shall never
again be required.
Whether the soldier sleeps in the
cemetery at home or beneath the
waters of the sea, or in some name
less grave, it matters not, a nation
holds them in grateful memory, and
never more than at the present when
tottering step and silvering hair re-
mind US that the final muster cannot
be long deferred.
The mutf1ed drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
| That brave and fallen few
| On fames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
But glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.

The music contest Monday at
the high school resulted in victory
for Miss Roblee's grade of the West
Mankato school. The prize of a pic

public schools are receiving.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. P. Young cele-

Ezekiel, 81 %.
These words a reference to the d.
vided people of Israel, who under the
stress of suffering entailed by their
captivity were to be welded together
again. This condition finds it's analogy
in the divisions between the North
and South, divided, and for many
years embittered now under the COM
mon cause of deliverance of Cuba
from the yoke of Spain, united as
never before. A new era dawning in
American history, no longer to be
isolated, but to enter upon glorious
career when her influence shall be felt
in the Eastern as we'll as Western
hemisphere. With this thought in
mind what shall be our genius?
l. Is it equality.
This is certainly one of the
characteristics of Americanism, ouI
people are the very incarnation Of the
principle that sail mem are created
equal" Here a man can rise from q
mud clerk" to become one of the
greatest railroad magnates of the
country; from the boy on the tow-path
to the presidential chair, or from a
tanner to conqueror, the highest of
fee in the gift of the people. Here
we have an aristocracy of brain, not
of blood or birth, The man who does
mental service for the proudest of oul
people may have son who, by the
power of a free education may rise to
any position by power OF mind; yet a
remarkable balance is preserved. The
French people caught the contagion
of the imperial majesty of man ano
hurled Bourbon from the throne, but
they soon find that excessive demo
cracy is as bad as monarchy, and soor
submit.
2. Is it breadth?
, People become like the land in
which they live-the very breadth Of
our land is suggestive of the breadth
of the people. 1t is the proud boast
of the Englishman that on the domin
ions of his queen the sun never sets
We can do no more, when the sun has
sunk in the waters of the Pacific
She has bathed New England in glory
and more, wherever she shines it i!
not upon oppression. Our Statesmen
have been men of breadth; they hav,
acquired empires without shedding /;
drop of blood, or firing a gun, excep
as the flag has been saluted as witness
Louisiana, Alaska and Gadsen pur
chase. When great statemen hav,
failed, then the people have settled
some of the most momentous ques
tions of centuries. as witness slavery
settled by people.
3. Is it magnanimity?

Certainly striking feature of oul
national life, hardly has the echo

hand was outstretched, and the states

again welcomed into it's sisterhood.
The Blue and the gray have mingled
together on many field where they
met before in death grapple. Brave
men can afford to be magnanimous,
and brave men are the first to forgive.
4. Is it generosity? Whatever
may be the opinion of European coun.
tries we care but little, yet one thing
they are willing to give us credit for
generosity. When Russia is starving
our corn ships 60 to her relief, Ar
menia is desolated, and relief is at
once forthcoming. Before the
wounds were healed or the mourning
had been discarded you were sending
relief to the sufferers from the scourge
of yellow fever. Nebraska is starv7
ing, and from the land of prosperous,
Dixie" comes loads of relief.
S. Is it progress? We glory in our
progressiveness. Cities spring Minerva
like from the fertile soil, and the end
is not yet.
6, Patriotism? When the nation
furnishes homes for the soldier, gives
deserving ones liberal pension, and
observes holidays in grateful remem-
brance Of her fallen heroes, this is
national, not generosity, but patriot
ism. When a city shall erect monu-
J ments to some favorite chieftian, or
to the soldiers who have fallen, this
is civic patriotism. When the mother
gives her son freely, as many have
done, because the country is imperiled,
this is individual patriotism. There
is often more real patriotism on part
of the neither than the son, even
though his deeds may be praised by a
nation, Many have been the bless
ings called down on the heads of the
Womans' Relief Corps, who have
shown their patriotism by minister.

cause of growing infirmness need
their aid. All honor to the wives
and mothers, who showed Their
patriotism as they remained in lonely
and often desolate home, yet served
their country by giving their choicest
treasures.
All of these characteristics that
have been mentioned are interesting
and characteristics of our national
life of which we may we'll be proud
but none of them are the real genius
Of our national life. From the his
tory of the past and from the present
we are justified in saying that the
genius of our nation is love OF
