NAILED HIM NEATLY.

P. Monaghan, of Elm Iowa, hat
an exciting. days experience at Kas
son yesterday, as the result of a Wis
it from W. w. P. Mcconnell, state
dairy and food commissioner.
Mr.. Monaghan is one of the fra
ternity Of "box car merchants
who have been making life miser
able for the merchants of southern
Minnesota. Their practice is tt
send agents through a community,
selling groceries and other supplies
at cut prices, until a car load is con:
tracted for. The car load is then
sent out from Chicago and unloaded
into some vacant buildings, from
which deliveries are made. The
railroad companies will not allow
them to sell from the car.
These..merchants stir up all sorts
Of trouble, forcing people to take
goods they never ordered, and un-
loading cheap, trashy goods on the
consumers. In response to numer-
GUS complaints Mr.. Mcconnell de-
cided to get after them, and timed
his visit to Kasson SO as to meet
Monaghan g car:
He hi red detectives, who purchas-
ed baking powder improperly label
ed, j. j McCaughey, county attorn-
ey, hauled Monaghan, before Justice
August Anderson, who fined him $50
and costs. He was Immediately
arrested on similar Cargo and given
another $50, which he paid with
loud protests. His vic Tins were
correspondingly rejoiced.
The baking powder was a cheap alum
product and sold at 80 cents pound,
being worth about one-third of the
amount.
Mr.. Mcconnell had arranged to
follow Monaghan up and catch him
at the next stop, but he loaded up
some wagons and left Kasson last
night by the country road.
Plans are being made laid to catch
other fly by nights. Their bust
essn is legal except where they
transgress the pure food laws and
by that method the dairy and food
departments intends to run them
out of business.

BOX ELDER BUGS-THEY
SHOULD BE KILLED NOW.
For sleveral weeks past citizens
have noticed large masses OF small
bugs gathered on trees and the lower
part of fence posts. Their favorite
place of congregation seems to be
about the base of the box elder trees
and in some parts Of the city they
can be found, thousands Of them,
on a single tree. There have been
many inquiries as to what they are
and how they can be eXterlninated.
The following from the Farm, Stock
and Home explains the matter:
Correspondents send in specimens
of a beautifully marked red and
black bug, about IS inch long,
which are present in great numbers,
invade house and cellar, and are
a nuisance generally. This is the
box elder bug, and was illustraed
and described in the April Is num-
Der, of this year. 1t does not bite
or eat, it is sucking insect, so will
destroy nothing. It can not be
poisoned. It is a lazy. slow moving
beast, gathers in large masses and
may be destroyed with scalding
water or kerosene. The more killed
no the better for the box elders
ne xt eason. At this season they
may be found in great masses on
the lower trunks of box elder trees
here they may be killed as suggest
ed.
