Millions Given Away.

1t is certainly gratifying to the public
to know OF one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and suffering. The proprietors
OF DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds, have CIV
en- away over ten million bottles of this
great medicine !; and have the satisfac-
tion OF knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands OF hopeless cases. Asthma,
Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all other
diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs
are surely cured by it. Call on H. A.

Tennessee squire short time ago:
"Wilt thou take her for thy pard, for

An Unauthorized Act.

There was time in the early history
OF Brookville when her citizens were
incensed over the fact that n niger had
been skinned" within the town limits.
Later they were up in arms because the
old graveyard had been skinned" :" and
to-day they mourn because gross
outrage has been committed in the
'skinning" OF the public school grounds.
For years the stately shade trees in the
school grounds have been the source of
great admiration on the part of our
people, and when they learn las many
have already learned) that they have
been slaughtered like the trees OF the
forest there will be grief-great big
drops OF grief. Workmen have been
employed for some time past in grading
and paving about the new building.
Acting on some imaq mary authority
they commenced general slaughter of
the shade trees Monday afternoon, and
1t was Tuesday evening before the men,
bers Of the school board learned what
was going on, so that the vandalizing
act was committed not only without the
authority but without the knowledge
Of the board or any Of its members. As
u matter of course the directors will en-
deavor TO ascertain who took upon him
self, or themselves, TO direct that this
insane net be committed, but that will
not repair the damage. To hang the
murderer will not restore tho life of the
person murdered, and while the writer,
as member Of the school board, feels
like drawing a lfe-sized picture of those
who presumed to act for his fellow di-
rectors and himself. he realizes that
the better course To pursue is to leave
the matter rest for the present at what
has already been said.-Brookville Re

THE HESSIAN FLY
And Other Insects that are Injurious to
Wheat.

State Zoologist II. T. Fernald, Ph. d.,
in bulletin which has been received
at THE STAR Office. makes startling
statements with reference TO insects
that are injurious to wheat. He asserts
that the farmers OF the state lose at
least 81 ,0O0, 900 yearly from the devas-
tation of these insects alone. Mr.. Fer
nald says:
| Wheat Is one OF the most important
crops raised in Pennsylvania. Accord
ing to the United States agricultural
report for 1897, the wheat crop in Penn
sylvania that year was 2S,259,6ll BUSH
els, valued at s25, 7l5. 2I6. an amount ex-
ceeded by but five states in the union.
"A crop of this Importance TO state
deserves much attention, and particu-
larly when it is subject to serious devas-
tation by insects As was the case In
Pennsylvania in 1898. How serious the
loss from this cause WIS, is shown by
reports from different counties, which
estimate the loss by the Hessian fly at
from ten to seventy per cent, the av-
erage for the state being thirty-one per
cent II this be regarded Ms the true
loss To the state 1t represents over sew
en- millions Of dollars taken directly from
the pockets Of the farmers Of the COM
monwealth by this insect alone, and H.
as is probable. a portion Of the loss was
caused by other insects, it nevertheless
represents that much loss, which
should. so far rs possible. be prevented.
Over fifty different kinds OF insects
are known to feed upon wheat, but OF
these. only about ten or a dozen are
often sufficiently abundant to cause
serious injury. The largest loss in
Pennsylvania is usually caused by the
Hessian hy, wheat stem saw fly. wheat
stem maggot, the joint worms, wire
worms and wheat midge. The Bessian
fly is one of the chief offenders.
This insect was particularly destruc-
tive in Pennsylvania in 1898. 1t is a
small fly, somewhat resembling "a mo-
squito, about an eighth Of an inch long,
with dark wings. 1t is seldom noticed
in this form, however, as the injury is
caused by the maggot, which later
changes into fly. 1t works on wheat
both in the fall and spring, there being
two main broods each year. II prefers
wheat but will live on barley and rye.
"The Hessian fly is generally sup
posed to have been imported from
Europe in straw brought over with the
Hessian troops during the revolution,
and the common name 1t bears was Civ
en- to 1t on this account. II has been
claimed, however, that it was present in
this country before that time, and the
true facts concerning its appearance in
America may never be known"

Coal Notes.

In bituminous coal there Is very ex-
cellent trade doing, and all the reports
treat Of this even II they do not have
much To say about better price being
had: this feature has been referred 10
many times in this Journal during the
current season. We cannot see any
chance. for any great change In values
for some time to come, as the amount OF
coal available is great and the competi-
tion TO make sales is very keen one
must wait until the demand more than
equals the available prompt supply be-
fore any high price can be had for our
superior coal. We have not for some
years had so good and extensive call
for soft coal as now exists, but our pro-
ducers can well afford TO take the posi-
tion that the coal is worth more than Il
sold for in recent years; the buyer had
IL his way for many seasons.
Despite the settlement of the strike
Of the soft coal miners In the Reynolds
vile region the Buffalo market is still
suffering severely from the short supply
OF coal. II was expected that the set
tlement of the troubles would result at
once In an easing up Of the conditions
prevalent here, but so far as can be
learned, very few OF the men have gone
back to work, "A large number OF them
desiring to remain out until August 1st.
Every one Of the shippers here Is COM
planning Of the scarcity of coal, and
orders have been cut down very materi-
ally, In order to care for all the different
industries. A scarcity of coal has re-
suited in an advance of 10 to Is cents
per ton In all grades. The general
feeling among the trade is that business
will continue to improve and prices
hold up for the summer, as indications
are very encouraging.
TIE strike has also affected the coke
trade very materially as there is little,
II any. OF that product being shipped
here. Every dealer handling coke is at
his wits end to get enough to take care
OF his trade.-Coal Trade Journal.
