Nicholasville Ky, is not alone in pos

lessness approaches so near to idiocy that
a writ de lunatico inquirendo might be
properly applied for, but it has furnished
an instance illustrative Of the crying Iced

Two days ago mother and father left
three children. the Oldest six years Of age
and the youngest a helpless infant, while
they went for a visit to a neighbor. They
locked their progeny in the house and
probably left the matches within easy
reach and plenty of fire in the stove.
When they returned, their home was a
blazing ruin, just collapsing, and the tiny
unfortunates had perished in the flames,
No doubt these parents were grief
stricken and are vet inconsolable. They
are probably of the opinion that either
providence or fate has dealt them a cruel
blow. in destroying not only their place
of habitation, but their innocent and help

Of the "didn t-know-it-was-loaded affair,
whose victims have ceased to be subjects
for public compassion. The individual who
cheerfuIIy skates on thin ice when he has

Trouble Brewing in NebrHskn.-
According TO F A. Harrison, Secretary Of
the Republican State Committee Of Ne
braska. the harmony existing between the
Democrats and Populists in Mr. Bryan's
State has been badly Jared by the ap-
pointment of William Vincent Allen TO fill
the vacancy. caused by the death of Senator
elect Hayward Mr.. Harrison, who was
circulating among Nebraskans in Wash
ingtOn yesterday, pointed out to Times
representative that fusion has been in ef
feet in Nebraska for five years, and dur
ing that time the Populists have demanded
and received the lions shares of the spOils.
In the election Of 1898 the Fusion State
ticket was ali Populist with the exception
of one man, In the same election the re-
election Of Senator Allen was made an is
sue, with the result that the Legislature
went Republican. Senator Allen then asked
for and received the appointment TO a va
cancy on the district bench In the cleo
tion this year he was elected to the judge
ship. In the mean time his law partner,
Mr. Robinson, had been elected 10 Con-
gress. There was much friction among
the Fusion forces over the nomination Of
a candidate for Supreme Court Judge last
summer, and again the Democrats had to
give way. This caused so much bad feel
ing that had 1t not been for the injection
OF the prohibition issue into the campaign
the Fusion candidate would not have been
elected, declares Mr. Harrison.
Under the circumstances, continued Mr.
Harrison the Democrats felt that they
were entitled 10 the senatorship and they
put forward the man who had been bearing
the bruIt Of the fight for fusion. This last
act was the proyerbal straw that has
broken the camels back, and I confidently
look for some lively scrapping in future

Senator Tiltman's HeSOlutiOu.-SeD-

batting one Of the most fiery speeches of
his tenpestuous career on his Philippine
resolution, which he viii deliver in the
Senate as soon after the holiday recess as
he can call up the question. Mr. Tillman
has no idea what the vote will be though
he feels convinced that it will be over
whelmingly averse to his resolution, which
demands the Immediate withdrawal of all
American claims 10 the islands He does
expect, however, to have a square align
ment on the issue in the Senate, but he
says he has not made any attempt to Sc
cure in advance OF the vote any poll of his
colleagues. The measure. he thinks, will
have some friends among the Republicans,
and he looks for majority of the Demo
Gratis to vote for it.

davs to the effect that man named Med
dins. who has just been adjudged insane
by the New York authorities, is the man
who made the first race against William
J. Bryan for Congress From Nebraskans
in the city it is learned that the New
York people have been imposed upon by
the yagaTies Of a Iunatic. 1t seems
that Meddins did reside in Nebraska at
one time. and was a typesetter in a print
ing office at Lincoln. He ran for the Leg
islature on the Populist ticket once, but
was never an opponent OF Bryan. In his

IT D HER TROUBLE.
SPRAY THE FRUIT TREES.
New Mexico College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, and Experiment Station
Press Bulletin No. 10.


Press Bulletin No. 10.
So ar as | know, there are no serious
fungous diseases of orchard fruits in
New Mexico, but the apple and pear are
badly damaged by the codling moth, al
so known as the apple worm. While the
testimony of experimenters differs
much as to the benefit to be derived
from spraying with paris green solu-
ton as a meal Of killing the codling
moth, the great majority of those who
have tried it recommend the practice.
Its success is largely proportional to
the thorouohness with which the work
is done.
To make paris green solution, use 2
pounds of lime and / pound of paris
green to 100 gallons Of water, or one
fourth of each to d barrel of water.
Take unslacked lime, and after weigh
ing slack strain it. Its purpose is to
prevent injury to the foliage. Weigh
the poison, then moisten thoroughly
with a very little water, making a
paste; add water gradually until a
complete solution Is made. If much va
ter is added to the dry poison, it will
form Jumps and not mix readily. Hav-
ing placed the lime and poison solutions
in the barrel, add enough water to fill
it. The solution is best applied to the
trees by means of a spraying pump at
tochad tn tha horrol This ic 20 rriod IN
a wagon, the work being better done
from above if possible. The nozzle
should be graduated to throw a spray
as fine as mist, and every part Of the
tree should be reached; but no more
need be applied than will cause drip
ping from the tree. Practice and care
are necessary to apply the poison even
ly and thoroughly, and every fruit
should be reached.
The time to spray Is after the bios
SONS fall and before the fruit stems
curve downward. 1t is best to make
two or three sprayings; first, just as
the last petals fall; then again at inter-
walls of about ten days. The codling
moth is most apt to lay it's eggs in the
blossom end Of the fruit, hence it is
especially important that the blossom
end be well covered with the poison;
this is why the spraying should be done
while the tiny fruits stand erect on
their stems. AS soon as the egg matches
the worm begins feeding, eating it's way
into the fruit. To be at all effective the
poison must be on the fruit When the
worm is Matched. In the southern parts
Of the territory the codling moth has
three or four broods a year, and is
much more difficult to combat than in
northern New Mexico and at high ele-
~vations, but spring spraying should
greatly reduce the number Of worms
even where there is more than one
brood a year. A bulletin has been is
sued by the agricultural experiment
station on the codling moth, which will
be sent free, postage prepaid, to any
address, on application to the president
