Waterman Arthur Bubb, of
Bellaire, Heads the Signal
and Averts What Might Have
Proved q Disaster.

Time and again have the good
people of Bellaire been warned
about the ingoing and outgoing
of trains, on more than one level
crossing Of the c. /. & w. r. R.
during the many years that Mr..
Arthur Butts, gate Waterman, of
Bellaire, has varied danger flag
for the said company. Any pedes-
trian who was rash enough to
ignore the watchman's signals
either met with an accident or was
so badly scared that the lesson
taught made an impression for life.
Perhaps from being so long accus-
toned to see his fellow citizens
obey his instructions, Mr.. Bubb
was quicker to respond to the
warning given to him by that in
ward monitor which never chides
without cause. Be that as it may,
one thing is certain, if he had not
needed the cautions he would still
be a sufferer and we may safely say
he would continue TO suffer. But

ConeernIng Cutworma.

Some writers on this subject advise
the cultivation of the ground, believing
that the stirring of the soil and expo
sure OF the cutworms to the sun will de-
stroy them. While thorough cultivation
is undoubtedly of great benefit to the
soil no amount of stirring and exposure
TO the rays OF the sun will DESTROY cut
worms, fof when exposed it requires
but brief space of time for these pests
TO again secure coverings, and after
many years close observation of the
habits of cutworms / doubt if SINGLE
one can be destroyed by simply stirring
the soil. In my experience ] have found
two distinct species of cutworms, one
cutting the corn on the surface of the
ground and being readily found and
caught in the act Of destruction. The
other Is out of sight and cuts the corn
about an inch below the surface, and
the mischief is not detected till the corn
begins 20 wilt. Corn cut below the sur.
race OF the ground is irretrievably ruin
ed, but when cut above the ground when
small, with the exception of being re.
tarded in growth it is seldom injured.
Corn planted on sod that has been pas.
tured the preceding year is more liable
TO be damaged by cutworms than if no
stock had been allowed upon the ground.

storage Room For Bees.

The Importance of providing the
proper amount of storage room for
strong colonies of bees is urged by A.
ID. Duff in Prairie Farmer. If this is
not done, we shall have trouble to con.
tend with. He says when bees become
very strong in numbers and the colony
very populous they are sure to do some.
thing, and If they are limited in storage
ROOM that something will be to swarm.
When the swarming fever gets a hold
on them once, they are almost sure to
bother us well along in the honey sea-
son, and this always means small
honfy crop. When bees once issue from
the hive-that is, first swarms--it NAV
be Test to treat them as swarm and

lind must be drawn at this limit. il The
money crop is rot TO be seriously af.
feeted.

The Washington Star Says:

~ 1s6f 4 3
The Virginia Legislature has done
wisely in arraying the State by this
resolution in favor of withdrawing from
State legislation a power which many
of them of late years have exercised
under corrupt and 1demoralizing- in.
stluences. The new plan proposed for!
electing Senators may not be perfect.
1t certainly will not shut out all oppor-
tunities for the use of money in the

examination merits worthy Of support,
and it ought to be adopted. 1t is no

The Star is in error In supposing that
this resolution passed the Virginia .Legis-
laturc. 1t was passed by the House,
but failed to get through the Senate.
But the people Of Virginia are none the,
less in favor of electing Senators in
Congress by popular vote, and If the
question were submitted to them they
would vote almost to a man for the
change.
The New York Tribune of yesterday
says:
"An officer of one of the Southern rail-
roads was quoted as follows yesterday

THE rise in cotton is creating one

South that has ever been witnessed

the in1media to future crop are being
sold at most advantageous prices. The.
money for this cotton has gone directly
to the planter. The result is a distri-
button of wealth to those who fairly
deserve it. The immediate effect is seen
in more liberal expenditures by planters
for supplies. This money is in turn

sisttble that the so-called law Is a nudity.
Near the close Of the session OF 1888
the brokers bill was introduced IN the
Senate and rushed through with such
5unseemly haste that it was never read
except by its title.
After it was declared passed by the
President Of the Senate. prepared and
presented a protest against the manner
Of = its passage, and asked to have it
entered upon the journal, as any Senator
had the right to do. The friends of
the bill conceded that:rits passage was
thus shown. to be a. nullity and intro
:duced it anew.
Suppose any opponent of the valuation
bill had protested against the manner
Of It's passage, reciting the requirements
of the constitution, and the disregard Of
them, and made it part of the journal
of the Senate. what would be its status?
Null. The fact that no Senator pre-
scented formal protest does not in
anywise validate the bill or make it
law.
