The pea weevil has been a pest for
years, and 1t is difficult to secure seed
perfectly free from the pests. An ex-
cellent plan is to pour the seed into a
vessel containing brine. The infested
peas, being lighter than the others,
will float, when they may be SKINNED
off and consigned to the flames or
fed to poultry. The sound seed should
then be rinsed with clear water to
remove the salt. spreading on mats
or boards to dry.

Effect of Bordeaux on Fruit Blossoms.
In a recent bulletin from the New
York experiment station 1t Is shown
that where apple blossoms in the
earlier part of the blossoming sea-
son were hit by spray Of bordeaux
mixture combined with an arsenical
compound, they generally failed to set
fruit. Blossoms which had been open
several days before they were hit by
the spray seemed to have reached q
stage where this treatment did not
check the setting of fruit. Apparent
ly conflicting results are reconciled by
clear understanding Of this point.
There Is a great difference between
young blossoms and old blossoms in
their susceptibility to injury by spray
mixtures.
BY spraying repeatedly during the
blooming season. thus hitting the new
blossoms as they opened from day to
day, the blossoms were nearly all de-
stroyed, and as consequence scarce
ly any fruit set. A number Of
sprayed blossoms were observed
which had some Of the spray mixture
on the stigmatic surface. None Of
these set fruit. The spraying mix
lures and even the lime alone pre-
vented the growth Of pollen in weak
aqueous solutions Of sugar.

to Find the
Answer.
Does This City Want a
Y. N. c. A.?
Five Hundred Dollars to be Ex-
pended to Find Out.

Does Akron want Y. NJ. G. A?
TO secure a reliable answer to this
question it has been decided to ex-
pend $500.
The citizens meeting at the City
building. Friday evening, called by
Mayor Doyle to consider some plan
for caring for Akron's young men and
boys, was attended by 20 people, in
cluding reporters and five visiting Y.
M. G. A. officers; the remaining part
Of the audience was made up prin-
cipally of ministers. But the Mayor
was not discouraged by the small at
tendance. Great and successful
movements have been started by even
smaller bodies of citizens" he said.
Remarks were made by John w.
NJ. G. A.; G. *. Shurtleff, general
secretary of the Cleveland Associa-
ton; Chas j. Dockstader. also CON
nected with the Cleveland Associa-
tion; III. A. Wilbur and Geo, b. Ian
dis, state secretaries, of Columbus, and
several of the local men. The Y. NJ
@. A. officers stated that an associa-
tion was a good business enterprise
for, any city, and they advised Akron
not to decide for one unless 1t was
with determination to provide the
organization permanently, with all its
advantages. They suggested that it
would be wise to have an expert Y.
M. G. A. man come here for two
months and canvas the city with u
view to finding out exactly what was
wanted here-whether a Y. NJ. g. A.,
Young Mems Institute, or a Boy s
club? Citizens were cautioned to
make no decision until they had be-
fore them thorough and impartial
report of the situation in this city.
1t was pointed out that heretofore
Akron's associations had been started
and maintained in half-hearted way,
a condition injurious both to the town
and the \. NJ. G. A movement.
Epitomized the proposition of the Y.
Nj. G. A. officers was-"DOn't go ahead
until you're sure Y. M. G. A. is want
ed in Akron If one Is wanted start
the organization upon firm founda-
tomas n business enterprise--in a
substantial building, and with an ex-
perienced secretary at its head; the
general secretary is really more inn
portant than the building"
Upon motion. Mayor Doyle was
made chairman of an Executive Com
mittee composed Of all the local men
present This committee is to en-.
deavor to raise $500 with which to
have the city canvassed by an expert
to find out what the people want. The
committee will meet at the call of the
chairman.

NOT AMORMON
Leadership Of Brigham
Young Denied.
James c. McConnaushy Points
Out Difference.

Mr.. James McOonnaughy excepts to
the allegation that has been publish
ed that he Is Mormon and an elder
In the Mormon church. While Mr..
McConnaughy is a priest in the Church
Of Latter Day Saints, he points out
that that sect is different from the
Mormons ana that it does not teach or
practice polygamy. He produces eyi-
dences substantiated by court decis-
ions that Utah Mormonism departed
from tho faith of Joseph Smith under
the leadership of Brigham Young In
1880. In the case in which the church
of Latter Day Saints sued for pos
session of property at Kirkland the
courts held that that reorganization
and not the Utah church was entitled
to II.
Mr.. McConnaughy also refers to the
statement made by Brigham Young
IN an interview with Senator Trum-
bun In 1860, in which he said "As to
our constitution, we know we are
right and polygamy, which you OBJ
ject to, was not originally a part of
our system, but was adopted by us as
necessity after we came here" Ito

One of the eastern papers remarks
that the reciprocity movement has
received extraordinary impetus from
President McKinley's last message to
the American people on public affairs.
President McKinley's Buffalo address
has powerfully influenced the public
mind, and will give absorbing interest
to the proceedings of the Reciprocity
convention. 1t will inspire its delib-
emtions as coming from President
and stateman whose lips are now
sealed by death, and whose whole
public career was unfalteringly devot-
eded to the protection Of American in

posed to reciprocity.

WELL ENOUGH WASN'T "LET
ALONE"

The Illinois Supreme Court does
not seem to be content to "let well
enough alone" 1t has just decided
that the capital stock and franchises
of all corporations doing business In
Illinois are taxable, and that the State
Board of Equalization must cause
property of this nature to be listed for
taxation. ,AAl
The decision in effect awards n writ
of mandamus against the State Board
of Equalization to compel it to assess
tho capital stock including franchises
of several Chicago corporations. the
fair cash value of whose capital stock,
including franchises, over and above
the value of their tangible property,
is alleged to aggregate $235, ,000. 900.
The corporations directly affected are:
The Chicago City Railway Co, West
Chicago Street Railway Co., North
Chicago Street Railroad Co.. Chicago
Union Traction Co, Peoples Gas
Light & Coke 90. Chicago Telephone
Co, Chicago Edison Co.. Chicago Con-
solidated Traction Co., Chicago Elec-
trio Transit Co., Chicago IL Jefferson

Street Railway Co, Ogden Street Rail.
way Co, Chicago North Shore Street
Railway Co., South Chicago City Rail
way Co.. Chicago West Division Rail

Co., and North Chicago City Railway
Co.
Not the least popular feature OF the
decislon'is the breaking down OF the
arbitrary powers which the Illinois
State Board of Equalization for many
years supposed 1t had the right to
exercise in the matter OF distributing
the burden os taxation. The dispatch
reporting the decision says;
''Ihe hands of the State Board Of

HOW TO BUILD COURT-HOUSES.

The Democrat yesterday showed
that the annual loss to Summit coun-
ty because Of the favoritism prac
tlced by the State Board of Equaliza-
ton and other officials, elected to en-
force the tax laws. in not assessing
railroad property on the same basis
as the farm and home, amounts to
$66,51945.
This loss does not occur once in
twenty five or fifty years, but is an
annual and continuing injustice upon
tax payers generally.
The assessment Of railway property
upon the same basis as that upon
which the Illinois Supreme Court has
directed the State Board of Equaliza-
ton to tax the railway interests of
Illinois, would cause the $66,519.45 to
remain In the pockets of the people
of Summit county, or, If the present
tax rate were continued, 1t would give
a surplus each year which could be
expended for public buildings and
other improvements.
With the amount which the rail-
roads ought to pay, Summit county
could build and in few years pay
for magnificent Court House, as well
as Jail, and they could get these
improvements without adding one
cent to their present taxes.
If the people of the county want to
enjoy the benefits of an equal distri-
butioh Of the tax burden, they must
put aside their partisanism and vote
for men who will not use their Offices
to favor the railway interests at the
expense of all other taxpayers.
