ANOTHER RACE TRACK MOVE NIPPED.

county, is casting longing eyes the soil of Del

being brought to bear to entrance for the
evil there The people of Delaware this week narrowly
capped the clutches of the gambling fraternity by the timely
discovery and by Governor Tunnel of "snake" bill
that had in some mysterious passed through the House
and Senate the last day of the Legislature. The bill
entitled ian act providing penalty for the violation Section
II of Article of the Amended Constitution, and declared
that all persons who violated said should liable
upon conviction to fine exceeding five hundred dollars, but
limiting the fine to any year.. In reality the would
have been annual license fee. Under such law, mas
much as fine of five hundred dollars would have exempted
the offender for year, Delaware would have become the
paradise for gamblers and the hordes that ocked
Cecil county from Philadelphia especially, would have moved
ION TO Delaware. 1t would have repealed all other laws
providing punishment for gambling and from which the
could have gotten relief for years.
How the bill got through the Legislature r the hurry of
the last day. remains to be found but public sentiment
aroused in the state to such pitch the outrage that the
traitor traitors the people will surely be Cecil
county fully appreciates the evil from which Delaware

!, PRoL1F1oNEss OF WEEDS,

A single plant of pigweed has been
found to produce 100000 seeds. A sin.
gle plant of wild buckwheat, located
In a favorable spot for development
upon our own grounds, spread and
covered spot Of ground five feet IN
diameter, making a tangled mass Of
vine which more than filed bushel

squirreltail grass, an unknown or at
least an unnoticed weed in Iowa three
years ago, has SO spread that there Ia
hardly lawn in the state which is
not cursed by 1t. Bushels and bushels
Of foxtafl seed are raised every year
by the average western farmer, and
hundreds Of other men plant corn each
year seemingly for the sole purpose Of
furnishing support for the morning
glories. Conditions have been favor
able in 1890 for an extraordinary
growth Of weeds all over the west, and
a clean field or a clean farm can hard
ly be anywhere found. On many a
farm the weeds are exhausting the fer
tility Of the soil to far greater extent
than do the crops raised-weeds in the
cornfields, weeds by the roadside,
weeds in the stubble fields, weeds in
the pasture lot, weeds in the garden,
weeds in the orchard, weeds every
where. The keeping Of 100 sheep on
each 100 acre farm would do more to
remedy this evil than any other thing
which can be done.

THE BLIGHT OF BOGUS BUT

Eighty.seven million four hundred
thousand pounds Of oleomargarine

represents the butter product Of 49,
900 milk cows making 200 pounds Of
butter each. or. illustrated in another
way, it represents the butter product,
Of all the creameries of Iowa, one Of
the best dairy states of the Union. The,
worst feature Of this business is that
the manufacture and sale Of oleomar-
garine are increasing by leaps and
bounds each year. It is one of the
most costly frauds permitted and en-,
couraged by the American people. I'll
looks like butter, tastes like butter,

terests Of sufficient Importance to de-
mand radical and heroic measures for
Its suppression. One Of two things
should be done-either the tax upon
the product should be increased to a
point which will make a pound of 1t

makers and vendors Of the stun should
be compelled to so color it that it shall

AGED MANS mYsTEnloUs DEATH,
Leonard Numeister's Body Found and
His Young wife Arrested.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 25.-A tele-
gram was received Thursday saying
that the body of Leonard Neumeister,
aged 6S years, of Louisville, had been
found in a lake at Altoona, Fla, and
that his young wife and w. r.. Nye
We're under arrest suspected of MUIR
der. u
Two years ago, after three mar
riages, Neumeister was widower and
q faithful spirituaist. "A brother died
and left him $4,000. Going to Cincin-
natl to attend a seance, the old man
met w. F.tNye, an ex-convict, who in
sisted that Neumeister meet Phoebe
Maytum. The two called on her and
communed with the spirits of all of
Neumeister'ss former wives, who oom-
manded him to marry Phoebe May
tum.. They We're married and came 10
Louisville to live. Before long Nye
took up his abode with the couple.
Regularly thereafter messages came
from spirits directing Neumeister to,
transfer his property bit by bit to his
wife and Nye. His relatives began
raising disturbance and last winter
the pair loaded the old man on
freight car with his household furni-
ture and shipped him to Florida. They
followed in a parlor car. Messages
from spirits continued to come down
there and property continued to go
until his mysterious death. The coro-
ner's jury found that the man had
been dead before being placed in the
lake and that supposed farewell let
ter was a forgery.
