Kerosene For Mosquitoes.

TION ON THE CRUSADE NOW
BEING WAGED AGAINST
THIS DANGEROUS PEST.
Mr. EDITOR:
Since my recent communication
concerning mosquitoes, | have
been reading a book on "Mos-
quitoes, How they live, How they
carry disease; How they are classif-
ed; How they may be destroyed"
It is by DR.. L. 0. Howard, of the
chronological Bureau, Agricul
tural Department, Washington,
DC. It's most interesting and
instructive in its every part, but
the chapters which tell us how
mosquitoes may be destroyed will
surely commend themselves to
every community, where this pest
is found. In them we learn of
remedy which has proved most
effectual and which can easily be
obtained in every community;
that remedy is kerosene oil; and it
is to be poured upon every body
Of standing water large or small,
in the neighborhood. 1t is we'll
known that mosquitoes deposit
their eggs upon the surface Of
water if it can be found; and only
in water will they hatch. If the
eggs are destroyed in the water,
as they will be by kerosene, there
will be no increase of mosquitoes,
and the crop will finally die out
a consummation deyoutly to be
wished.
The city of Winchester Va,
which for some years had been
suffering from the presence Of
multitudes of mosquitoes, began
in the spring of last year to take
active measures for their destruc
tiOn. and the following ordinance
was passed by the council:
PREVENT THE MOSQUITOES.
1. Be it ordained that on or
before March 25, 1900, and at least
each month the1 eafter until Nov
ember 1, 1900, each owner or &C.
cupier of house or lot in the city,
shall put into every pool or sink
that is open, OF from which there is
any opening or outlet, kerosene oil,
at the rate of one ounce for fifteen
square feet of surface of said pool
or sink. and that quantity for any
surface less than fifteen square
feet.
Q. And be it further ordained
that one half an ounce Of kerosene
oil shall, during the same time, be
put in every open barrel or hogs
head kept for the purpose of COL
lecting rain water; and water shall
be taken from such barrel or hogs

Grand Prize was a great prod ucer in

Bob. Tate, colored man who
Jumped from the V. x T. train the

The mastering out of the four regi-
merits required the services of eight
paymasters- over $1,000, 900 was dis
bursed. The money was taken from
the subtTeasury 10 the Preside in eight
wagons, each under the charge of a
paymaster and his clerk. Forty-five

TROUBLE THREATENED At
BUTTE RACE TRACK.
Clash Between City and County Authorities
May Occur Over Pool Selling.

Butte, Mont, June 3o-The city and
county authorities are likely to clash
tomorrow over the betting question at
the race track. The city authorities are
in favor Of making Butte a wide open
town, in spite of the law against gam
bling. The county attorney has in
structed all officers under mis- jurisd!c-
tion to enforce rigidly the gambling
law. and has even gone to the extreme
Of raiding places where cards were be
ing played for the drinks.
The city police authorities have
threatened 10 stop all betting at the
race track and to arrest the mana gers
of the track if if is PERSISTED in. The
races began on Saturday, and so afraid
were the sports that something Of the
kind might lee done and their money
tied Up, that the betting was very light.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-07-01

The race track authorities. knowing the
police to be unfTienGiy, made all the
police officials pay to get in This, Of
course, has intensified the trouble.
While no attempt was made 10 stop
the betting on Saturday. it is said the
police win assume TO exercise jurisdic-
ton on Monday. The county attorney
claims the police have no authority at
the race track. which is outside the
city limits, and, moreover, that the
state law licenses pool selling, and the
gambling law contains no prohibition
on it. He has told the race track peO-
pie that if the police attempt to inter
fere there. special deputy sheriffs are
to arrest the policemen and put them
in the county jail. Unless the police
recede from their position, there is
likely 20 be lively times at the track
tomorrow.
