When the news of your safe re+urr

was In session. The Douglas county
representatives in senate and assem-
ply We're proud OF the fact that Won

TO TEST CITY BONDS.

Suit started il the United States
court at La Crosse will test the char
acter and validity of in the neighbor-
hood or 500, 600 worth of bonds of the
city of Superior. a test has once been
made, but the present test will be
under the supervision of other attor-
neys, and while it is impossible to
foretell anything certain as to what
the result be, it is matter of moment
to the city and might result III a saw
ing of between 100000 and $500, 900
from the general Indebtedness.
The suit is brought by Samuel j.
King of the state Ct New York,
through his attorney, Phillip King
He sues for the payment of the princi
pal and interest on the bonds that
were issued for special Improvement
purposes in 1891. The bonds have
become due through a failure of the
city to pay the interest, There are
three of the bonds upon which the
suit has been brought, making 1900
IL Gil IL Ii44o oStAt l, DCcAdGs uAIc IliJSltSl
that is due.
Tne contention of the city il fight
ing the case Will be that the bonds are
not general lien upon the city, but
that they are for special street i'm
proyements and are a lien only on the
property which was declared to have
been benefited by the making of the
Improvement. This question has once
been decided. The test case was that
of Fowler against the city which went
to the Supreme court. The same
point raised was the same. The deci-
sion Of the Supreme court then was to
the effect that the bonds were not
special Improvement bonds, as they
were supposed to be by the city when
they We're issued, but We're general
bonds and were general lien upon
the city.
The present case viii be another
test OF the ma,ter, but iii a different
court. In case City Attorney Mckay
should win in his contention that the
bonds are special Improvement bonds,
the debt of the city to the extent Of
about $1,000 will be wiped out Of
existence and it will become lien
against the property which was bene-
fitted and which ADULTS on the streets
where the improvements were made.
The city attorney further sets up in
his answer that the city has exceeded
its legal bonded Indebtedness and that
these bonds upon which suit is brought
are beyond constitutional limit and
hence legal.-Evening Telegram.

TO LIGHT THE CITY.

The city council has accepted the
bid Of the Superior Water Light &
Power Co. TO furnish light for the city
and adopted the report of the COM
mittee which was as follows:
with reference to the bid of the
Superior Water Light & Power com
pany, we respectfully report that
with certain notifications hereinafter
noted, it would be best to accept the
same ard the committee has decided
to recommend the acceptance and the
making OF contract for the term of
four years. We have excluded from
the schedule submitted by the COM
pany that portion which refers to the
cost of lighting from 30 to 80 in num-
Der at rate of 5l02 90 per light for a
four-year term and also the portion
of their schedule for lights from 100
to 149 in number at a four-year rate
of eS7 80 per light, for the reason that
the city now has 16l lights and the
probability is that the number will
increase rather than decrease, and we
recommend the acceptance of the
balance of the schedule for a four
year term as follows:
$50 to 1919 lamps, inclusive, 1000
nominal candle power, SIS.
5000 to 249 lamps, inclusive, 1000
nominal candle power. SO.
''250 to 299 lamps inclusive, 2,CO0
nominal candle power, $3.50.
1900 to 4g9 lamps, inclusive, 1000
nominal candle power, s62 80.
$500 lamps and up, inclusive, 1900
nominal candle power; So. 50.
1T will be observed that by the
adoption of this schedule the price of
the lights up to 199 is the sum of So
per light which is a saving of $ per
light per year over the present con-
tract and when the number reaches
200, which will probably be III a com
paratively short time, a further re-
duction over the the terms of the
present contract is mGde of SO per
light per year, and so on down the
schedule until the city has reached
500 lights III number, wnen the price
is fixed at $50.

the captain as follows:

your bravery and heroic conduct
''The world has always had its
heros, but it has often been, in times
gone by, that courage was exercised in
an unworthy cause. The primitive idea
OF bravery was mere physical courage
but in our day and age physical cour-
age alone is not sufficient to command
the respest and ad niration Of ones
countrymen, and place a man where

who is brave He only is brave who

The Hessian Fly.

| For the benefit of those who WOULD
like to know the Hessian fly when
they see him, the following descrip
ton furnished by the Oklahoma ex-
pertinent station is here given:
The Hesssian fly is small, dark.
colored two winged insect about one
eigth of an inch In length. This fly
passes the winter in the stage called
flax seed0 stage. This "dax- seed
is really only the dried external skin
of the larvel stage Of the Insect. In
the spring the regular pupa is formed
end in q short time the adult insect
appears The adult deposits her eggs
usually on the upper side ofthe
leaves of wheat and then in few
days, having finished her task, dies.
The young that hatch from these
eggs soon work their way down to one
of the lower nodes or joints of the
stem. Here they pass into the laryal
stage and the characteristic .'fiax
seed" stage may be found in the
wheat during the entire summer. The
damage IS due to the resulting stunt
ing of the stem and the frequent
lodging" of the grain that results.
The APPLICATION of any insecticide is
absolutely hopeless against this result
and modified farm practice is the only
avenue of escape.
In the north two broods are formed
but in Oklahoma we should expect to
find more broods during the season.
The last brood formed during the
season also deposit their eggs upon
the leaves and the young in this case
find their way to the lowest joint be-
meath the ground The flag seed
stage is entered upon and the season 8
work of the insect is closed. The
date at which the fail brood deposit
their eggs varies with the latitude.
that is, with the temperature, and
therefore we should expect to find
the insect depositing it's eggs earle r
in the northern part of the territory
than in southern part. Knowing
this date in any given latitude wheat
should be planted SO late that the in
sect will be forced to deposit the egg
in some other grass IN the neighbour
hood. If late sowing proves impossi-
BILE or is not advisable for any reason
then it will be of advantage to pasture
the early sown fields. All the stub :.
BILE that is left standing after the crop.
ia harvested in the summer should be
burned as in this way all the larvae
that are found in the stems in the.
''fla seed" stage will be killed and
the numbers of the fall brood greatly
reduced. -Kanfas Farmer.
