TERRIBLE DROUTH.
West Fork River has Gone Dry
Stencil From Dead Fish Menaces
Health.

WESTON, w. Va, Sept. 12-The
public schools Of Weston opened this
morning with an attendance much
larger than last year. Owing to the
excessive heat the school board has or
dered that for the present the days
session will begin at eight o'clock in
stead of nine, and close at twelve, in
stead Of four
All tributaries of the West Fork
south of Weston, are dry and there is
very little water in the West Fork
river here. Near the head it is per-
fectly dry. Stock 10 the upper end Of
the county is suffering intensely for
water. The cows all going dry raised
the price Of butter here to twenty five
cents per pound. The stencil from
the dead fish lying in the bottom OF
the river bed here will certainly soon
be a matter before the State health
board. Fish weighing from eight to
fifteen pounds can be seen lying dead
by the hundred along in the bed of
the West Fork.

ELKINs AND SCOTT
To Give S350,00O to West Virginia
Campaign Fund.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l2-Senator
Scott of West Virginia, associate man
ager of the Mckinley campaign in
the east, told Mckinley recently of
the dangers that are threatening the
Republican party in West Virginia.
The picture he drew while entirely
truthful. was startling and disagree
able to the President and Senator
Scott excused himself for bringing up
the subject upon the ground that the
president is entitled TO know exactly
where he stands. Senator Scott and
Senator Elkins, whose term expires
next March, will make combined
effort to save West Virginia. To
gether they will spend literally of
their vast fortunes and, indeed have
already begun to do SO. 1t is estima-
ted that Scott alone will put 500, 900
into the State before the first Of Oc-
will hand it over TO the chairman Of
the State committee later. Elkins is
expected to make a personal contribus
tion of $3.50, 600 to save himself from
defeat and there is hardly any reason
to doubt that he will do so. He is
enormously rich, He appreciates the
necessity of spending literally in des-
perate emergencies, and is already un-
loading with liberal hand. In spite
of this vast Senatorial corruption fund
the Democratic leaders Of the State
are absolutely confident of success and
everyone of them who have been in
Washington during the past ten days
has assured chairman Richardson of
the Democratic congressional COM
mittee that the state is won for Bry-
an and Stevenson.

A Preventive of Dat Smut and Potato
Scab.

The loss to the farmers of WiscOn-
! sin due to smut in oats amounts to
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually; practically all of this loss NAV
be saved by treating the seed oats be-
fore planting, at very slight cost.
All that is necessary is to thoroughly
saturate the seed oats with a solution
made by adding one pound of forma-
lin to fifty gallons of water 70 use
this remedy, place layer of oats three
orfour inches thick on the barn floor and
sprinkle them with the formalin solu-
ton until they are entirely wet; then
another layer may be placed on the
first layer and sprinkled as before, re-
peatlng the process until all the seed
oats have been sprinkled; then leave
them in the pile for two hours, when
they should be spread out thinly to
dry. They should be shoveled over
once or twice day until dry. If they
are to be sown broadcast, it will not be
necessary to dry them.
Formalin may be purchased at any
drug store. and costs from 60 to rs
cents per pound. About one gallon
OF the solution is enough to Sprinkle a
bushel OF oats. hence ore pound of
formalin is enough to treat fifty bush
els of seed oats. Formalin is not
dangerous to use. The oats will not
be likely to be injured by it. even if
left in somewhat longer than. two
hours.
The value of formalin as prevent
i've of potato scab has been demon
strated by several experiment sta
tlous. The treatment is easily ap-
piled. and gives in most cases a crop
much freer from scab than untreated
seed, and in soil free from scab germs
the prevention is generally complete.
lmmerse the unsprouted seed pota-
toes, before cutting, for two hours in a
solution OF one-half pound of formalin
in fifteen gallons of water. If the tubers
! are deeply scabbed, extend the time
to three or four hours. After treatmen
cut the tubers in the usual manner. The
same solution may be used five or six
times in succession if the immersion is
continued little longer each time.
Do not use the potato solution for
oat smut, as it is too strong. nor the
oat solution for potatoes, as it is toe
| weak.

SENATOR LODGE, chairman of the
committee on the Philippines, made
a notable speech in favor of the bill
giving the president power to act in
hi. discretion in regulating affairs in
the Philippines. OF the bill Mr.
Lodge said: "This bill is simple but
all-sufficient. 1t makes no declar-
ations and offers no promises as to a
future We cannot yet predict. 1t
meets the need Of the present and
stops there. The president. under
the military power which still con
trolls and must for some time control
the islands, could do all that this bill
provides. But it is we'll that hs
should have tho direct authorization
Of congress. To undertake any fur
ther or more far reaching legislation
at this time would be, in my judg
ment, a great mistake But | believe
it to be of great Importance to define
our position, so that it may be per
fectly understood blythe inhabitants
of the Philippines, as well AS by OBJ
own people"

having this week passed the bill as
reported from the conference commit

important bill, which makes our
money as good as the worlds best,
and which will prove to the world,
when the 2 per cent. bonds. which it
provides for issuing in exchange for
the 8, and 5 per cent. bonds now
outstanding, are issued that the cred
