Valuable Publication.

1.-THE Periodical Cicada in West
Virginia" is the title of a forty-fve
page bulletin just issued by the West
Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station, which gives a summary OF
previously recorded facts, with refer
ence TO the life history, habits, races,
varieties, numbers of broods, and dis
tribution of the so-called Seventeen
Year Locust. Much additional infor-
nation obtained by the author
through investigation and inquiry, is
also given regarding the number of
broods in West Virginia and the diff
ferent sections occupied by each. as
we'll as to the years in which periodi-
cal swarms will appear. The bulle-
tin is illustrated with some thirty fig
ures from original drawings, three
photo engraving plates, and map of
the state The map shows the area
occupied by the 1897 swarm, and in
dicates the counties in which one or
more of seven other swarms will APP
pear within the next sixteen years,
one in 1898 and another in 1900 in
the Northern Panhandle; one in 1901
in the southern counties; 1902 in the
Eastern Panhandle; 1905 in Putnam
county; 1906 in the southwestern
counties; 1910 in Pendieton and adj
joining counties; and one in 1914 in
thirty-fo counties west and three
counties east of the mountains. At
tention is also called to the discovery
that common and serious damage
to old apple trees is caused by a tree
cricket, and that slight injuries to
apple trees, both by the cicada and
the tree cricket, is often seriously ag-
gravated by the wholly louise of the
apple. In addition to the many in
teresting features of the bulletin, it is
of especial practical value to fruit
growers and others, in showing, by
means of the map, when and where
the cicada may be expected in de-
structive numbers. Thus, by con-
sulting the map, the fruit growers
and farmers will be enabled to pre-
vent serious losses by planting young
orchards two or three years before, or
the year after a cicada year in their
respective localities.

Have you ever read a newspaper
article, a glowing account of some
incident told in exclusive words to
/ lead you on, and found it wound up
with a proprietary medicine adver-
tisement9 Made you mad, didn't it?
And were you convinced of the merit
of the article2 We think not, because
| it told the experiences of some
stranger in a far away town. To
take his word for it was like going
it blind" It's very different thing
when a statement is prescribed from
a citizen, from people we know, and
that's the case here.
Mr.. r. S. Gregory, of East Race

says: During the two years that
was troubled with my kidneys there
were many days when / worked in
the greatest misery, and l believe
many men would have given up had
they suffered as / did. In cold
weather the pain was more intense
aud there were annoyances from the
kidney secretions, distressing at
times. / used many piasters on my
back, took internal medicines, some
of which gave ME relief for the time
being, but when | caught cold or did
any lifting / soon was as bad as ever.
l was induced to try Doan's Kidney
Pills and got a box at Matthael's
drug store. They were more suitable
for my complaint than anything l
ever used. l can now stoop or lift
anything without feeling those severe
pains. have full confidence in

SCHOOL DISTRICT
FIGHT In NEVADA
Rival Teachers Seek Possession Of the
Clear Creek House Of
LEARNING

CARSON CITY, Oct. AIT Clear Creek
q feud is imminent on account of the ac-
ton of rival school boards. The district
of Clear Creek is so situated that a por-
ton of the pupils attending come from
Douglas County and the remainder from
Ormsby County. Years ago the commits
sioners of both counties held a meeting
and, ascertaining that most of the chill
dren attending school resided in Ormsby
County. allowed two of the trustees to be
appointed therefrom. Last May. there
being no election. Ormsby's superin-
tendent appointed two members of the
old board. and Miss Maggie SchulZe was
engaged to teach school. Shortly after
ward Superintendent Nagle of Douglas
appointed two members, also claiming
that now the number of children from
his county was in excess of those from
Ormsby, and this board appointed Miss
Virgin as teacher.
Meanwhile Miss SchulZe is in possession
of the school, while Miss Virgins sym
pathizers will not attend. In order to end
the difficulty the case was brought before
the Supreme Court to-day by the Douglas
board The defense claims, If as alleged
the change in attendance gives Douglas
the better of it. that the board that Gre
ated the present arrangement is the only
power to dissolve it, and therefore Mr..
Nagle had no right to act on his own au-

Employees of the Michigan State Of
fee at Lansing Leave
Their Cases

LANSING. Mich, Oct 3-Au of the
employees Of the Robert Smith Printing
Company, State printers, walked out
again to-day.
On July they struck because of the re-
fusal OF the firm TO grant a nine-hour
work day, which they claimed was con-
sidered in the new bids for the two-year
State contract, and also an increase of
wages in the bindery. An agreement was
reached whereby the differences were left
TO board of arbitration.
Last Saturday the strikers notified the
firm that they would insist on an in
creased wage scale in the bindery This
the firm claimed was not included in the
arbitration.
The strikers say the bindery scale was
included in the former agreement, and,
with three or four exceptions, the entire
force of $50 refused to work this morn
ing.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 3-November
1 is the date set by the focal Topographic
cal union for the. concerted movement
looking to a nine-hour day in book and
job offices. 1t is hardy thought that a
general strike will result, but an assess
ment OF l per cent is being levied on
printers earnings as a defense fund.
