POTATO BUGS

Having been pestered several sea-
sons with the army or striped bug
applied the common insecticide powder,
composed of Paris Green and land
plaster, on the stalks dry, without sue
cess. found an intelligent enemy,
whose instinct of self preservation
taught it to avoid the white leaves on
top, and feed upon the lower which
escaped the dusting.
now take my watering-can full of
water and mix a. half table spoonful
of the poison we'll dissolved. To avoid
waste march quickstep from one end
OF the row to the other, sprinkling a
can of the mixture to each row, if not
too long. After two sprinklings at an
interval of one or two days they begin
to disappear. The drippings from the
upper leaves fall just where the bugs
harbor.
| My daughter last year took the
premium at our fair against all opposi
tion on potatoes. "What name do yor
give it?" A big name often makes 6
big run; call it in Latin, "Bugiensis
Appolinaris."
Whether it has any affinity to the
lAppolOnaris Water so much in vogue
among our high officials at Washing
ton cannot tell. No doubt it woult
rid the government of hosts of greed,
and useless vermin, especially tn
tipplers.
If you think the above will benefi
your patrons, please, publish: if no
consign it to the wastebasket.
Yours truly,

1t is common thing for some one
who has used DIR. Pierce's Golden Med

| find that when the diseased stomach il
cured the vweak heart is made sound,
the sluggish liver stimulated, and the
throbbing nerves tranquilized. This fact
alone suggests the truth which every
leading medical scientist knows and rec
ognizes-that diseases which seem re-
mote from the stomach are often caused
| by the disease of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. When
the diseased stomach and the digestive
and nutritive system are cured of disease,
the other organs are cured with them.
Food is the basis of life and Of
strength. But it is not the quantity Of
food eaten which supports the life and
health of the body. The body is sus-
tanned by that portion of the food which
after being eaten is converted into
nourishment and properly assimilated.
When the stomach and its allied organs
of digestion and nutrition are diseased
or uweak," only part of the food eaten
is converted into nutrition, and the body
and its organs are therefore only partly
nourished. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med

Leaders Are Gathering at Sioux
Falls For the Convention.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May THE van
guard of the national convention of the
Peoples party arrived today and yes
terday. Already there is a sufficient
sprinkling of notables here to give
somewhat of a convention hue. Sena-
tod Allen of Nebraska and Congressman
Sutherland arrived yesterday and to-
days arrivals include Senator Butler of
North Carolina. chairman of the nation
al committee Senator Pettigrew Of this
state and ]. B. Weaver of Iowa A
number of newspaper correspondents
have also reached the city.
So far none of the large body of dele
gates has arrived and very few are ex-
pected till tomorrow when delegations
from Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado, Tex
as and other states are scheduled to
reach the city. A sufficient number has
already come to make it evident that
the hotel accommodations will soon be
exhausted. This win however be of lit
tie Importance, in view of the fact that
practically every private residence in
the city is to be placed at the service
of the visitors. The Washington arriV-
ais appear generally disposed to ad-
journ after the nomination of a presi-
Dental candidate. leaving the vice pres
idency to be arranged for by a commit
tee of conference with the Democratic
convention at Kansas City but whether
this will be carried out will depend of
course on the sentiment of the conven-
ton.

TANNER VS.. CULLOM.
The Illinois Governor Says State Con-
vent1on Must Not Endorse

Peoria, Ill, May 7.-GoveTnor Tanner
arrived from Springfield at noon today,
accompanied by Mrs Tanner, DR.. L. c.
Taylor, his physician, and a number of
personal friends. He was driven to the
home of Colonel Fred H. Smith. I'M
mediately after his arrival he said to a
representative of the Associated Press
that he was here to exert his influence
not of any individual, but of the Re
publican party.
1--WE can not afford to endanger our
chances of controlling the next legis-
lature,' said he, by naming any man
for United States senator. Under the
present appOrtiOnment the Democrats
have the advantage of us, and it will
take the united efforts of all loyal Re
publicans to assure a Republican ma
joTity on joint ballot. There are many
able and ambitious men in Illinois who
could brilliantly represent this state in
the senate. 1t will not do to make them
apathetic in the campaign by naming
a senatorial candidate at this time.
Suppose Senator Cul1om should ask
for instructions for vice president, what
will be your course then?"
I should certainly oppose instructions
for Cullom for the vice presidential
nomination That would be merely a
convenient and deceptive cloak for his
senatorial BOOM
Governor Tanner will open headquar-
ters at the National hotel this after
noon.
There is no change at 1 p. m. in the
gubernatorial situation.

We're begun today Frederick c. Robertson

general defense of the action, both Of the
Idaho officials and of the United States
troops. General Merriam. who is in COM

themselves to three hours on each side
Mr. Robertson spoke with much empha

been committed both by the Idaho Off
Gals and the United States troops
He was particularly severe in arraign-
ing Bartlett Sinclair the state official
placed by Governor Steuenberg in SUI
preme authority in the Occur d Alenes.
Mr. Robertson commended, however, that
when martial law was declared and Unit
ed States troops were sent into the dis
trict they could not be subordinated to
the civil authorities He presented law
authorities holding that United States
troops could act only under the author
ity of the president as commander in
chief. He maintained that the responsible
ity for what had occurred rested With
the federal authorities.

There was violent opposition to DR.

all articles on controversies under dis
cuSsiOn by the conference be eliminated
from the Daily Advocate, and a resolu-
tion by former Congressman johnson,
of North Dakota, giving the approval
of the conference to the use of indi-
vidual communion cups was cried down
without the formality Of a discussion
DIR. Buckley's resolution concerning the
suppression of certain articles was
passed by a vote of 81 to %, but not
until several delegates had expressed
themselves very freely

leader of the opposition to the res0lu-

WOE A LOVING CUE.
Topeka Whist Players Surprise Their
Kansas City Friends.

Last February at the meeting of the
Central Whist association in Lincoln,
Neb., silver loving cup was offered as
prize by the DeS MoineS Whist club
to the best pair team in the tournament.
Hewlett and McKown of Kansas City
carried off the honors and Copeland and
West of Topeka challenged them i'm
mediately. The winners of the cup must
defend it against all Corners and can be
challenged as often as once in three
weeks.
The challenge made by Copeland and
West, however, was not carried out
until last Saturday night when accom-
panied by Washburn and Bronson they
went to Kansas City to play the game.
Hewlett and McKoun did not dream
that the Topeka players could win from
them and they secured Meredith and
Anderson to play against Washburn
and Bronson. The regular north and
south game was played in order to save
playing a duplicate game. When play
was finished ard it was discovered that
the Topeka boys had won with a margin
of three points the Kansas City Irwin
cibles" were completely bewildered.
The cup will be on exhibition at the
rooms of the Topeka Whist club to-
night and until it is won by another
club in the association. Lincoln. Neb.,
has the next challenge in and will prob
ably be on hand within the next few
weeks to land it for their club. The
challenge game must always be played
in the rooms of the club last winning the
cup.
