A certain drummer was very
fond of honey, and at the hotel in
the town where he usually stopped
the landlord usually provided him
with a delicious article. Recent
ly he arrived at the hotel with his
wife, and on sitting down to the
table, noticed the absence of his
favorite dish. "Where is my
honey?" he sharply called to the
waiter. The waiter smiled as he
answered: "You mean the little
black haired one? She don't
work here any more"

Interesting Developments
Promised.

Among those having All insight
to the matter, the belief is quite
general that when the case Of the
State of Iowa VS.. Daniels is called
for hearing at Logan next week
some rather interesting develop
ments will come to light. The
officers to whom has been en-
trusted the work of securing evil
dence in the case have been very
successful in their search, and
now have a fund of information,
sufficient they claim, to make it
exceedingly interesting not only
for Latta, who has already con-
fessed to his completely in the
robbery of the r, = & M v freight
cara few weeks ago, but various
other people, who, Latta claims
promoted the deal.

Nebraska this week in search of

Never was the true American spirit
better shown than in the eagerness of
men and women to become possessed
of land in the Kiowa and Comanche
country. Tens of thousands have reg
istered as applicants despite the dead
|ly heat which has already cost lives
and despite the fact that owing to the
number each of the hundred thousand
on hand will have only one chance in
q thousand of getting farm. A pro-
portion Of the disappointed will come
back east. Probably the greatest pro-
portion will prefer to take the open
chance in some other part of the great
west, in which there is still ample room
for all labor, and whose rewards arc
ultimately certain for the present and
the capable.

study the best method of driving
off the clouds of mosquitoes which
made his life burden.
NETS NO BAR TO INSECTS.
Mosquito nets seemed no OBJ
stacle to the insects said the
professor yesterday. "They al
ways found an entrance somehow
and made sleep an impossibility.
Then | tried smoking. l would
fill the air with the fumes of the
strongest tobacco / could get hold
of, but that had no terrors for the
tropical mosquito.
Gone night was annoyed more
than usual. Thousands of the
little insects hummed and buzzed
about me. Finally, in despera-
tion, l tore some branches from q
plant with which to brush them
away. l soon found that | did
not have to brush. In q minute
there was not a mosquito in hear
ing and they did not come back
that night.
"The plant from which had
torn the branches was that of the
castor bean. The next evening [
again tried it with the same sue
lcess. l became convinced that it
was the plant that kept them
away.
PLANT WILL GROW IN CHICAGO.
"The castor bean will grow if
properly cared for in this climate.
When | came back to Chicago /
tried planting some III the front
yard and soon found that there
were no mosquitoes to bother me
when [ sat on the front veranda.
| told some of my friends about it
and they too tried the experiment
with success.
"The plant of the castor bean is
not an unsightly one, and would
prove an ornament to'the parks if
the commissioners would set il
out. In the south side parks, and
| suppose in other parts of the
city, the mosquitoes, attracted by
the wet grass, make it almost i'm.

DISCOVERY CONFIRMED BY SPECIAL.
Professor Q NJ Childs Of the de.
partment of entomology of the
university confirms the statements
of Professor Starr. He says there
is something in the castor bean
plant which is antipathetic to the
mosquito, but that he does not
know what it is. There is no par.
ticular odor about the plant that
is noticeable to the human being.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
tion of DIR A Boschee, q celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged
to he one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper-
mental medicine. but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

Mosquitoes 10 be Routed.

Chicago Chronicle.
Mosquitoes, those persistent in.
sects that for so long have aroused
the undying hatred Of mankind,
are to be banished from the Chi
cago parks it recommendation
recently made to the commissions
ers by Professor Frederick Starr
of the University of Chicsgo is
carried out.
No longer will whispered con-
VIBRATIONS on the park benches be
interrupted by the hum of the
mosquito, and no longer will an
evening in the city's pleasure
grounds be marred by the bite
which follows the hum. All that
is necessary to drive the pests
away, says the professor, is to set
out n castor bean plant near each
bench. SO great Is the antipathy
of the mosquito for this plant that
he cannot be tempted into tho
same neishborhood, no matter
what he may see there.
This discovery was made by
Professor Starr while he was
travelling in tropical countries.
He was supposed to be studying
anthropology during these travels,
but the exigencies of the situation
forced him for a long time to
study the best method of driving
, off the clouds of mosquitoes which
made his life burden.
