BOX ELDER BUG.
The Department of Agriculture Tells How
to Get Rid of This Pest.

The box elder bug, which appeared
in this vicinity last year, is said to be
a dangerous pest to the box elder
trees and other vegetation The bug
has appeared again this year and can
be found in nearly all parts of the city.
The insect is fully described in cir
cular issued some time ago by the
United States department of agricul
ture, division of entomology. 1t was
known throughout the west and south
west as early as 1880. In 1894 living
specimens were received at the depart
ment in Washington from two locali-
ties in Pennsylvania, and shortly be-
fore this time it had made its appear
ance in this state. The box elder tree
is the normal food of the species, and
the circular referred to says that the
insect will gradually gain the wide
spread distribution of this tree, and
as when very numerous, its capacity
for damaging ripened fruit has been
shown, it may eventually become a
species of considerable economic i'm
portance.
During the winter the adult insect
hibernates in all sorts of localities 1t
is especially abundant in fences and
crevices between the stones of stone
walls When spring opens and the buds
of the box elder begin to burst, they
scatter from their alternating places
and seek their food plant. In many
sections they have become a plague.
They enter houses, clothing and beds.
The circular issued by the department
says: Spraying the trees in the early
part of the season with ker osene emul-
sion will result in the death of few
immature individuals. When they
crowd together in the fall upon the
trunks of the trees, they can be readily
destroyed with hot water. A little in
dustrious work at this time of the year
will reduce the number of the insects
so greatly that little damage need be
feared from them for the following
season.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1901-05-31

The authorities at West Point have
taken the right course in suspending
several cadets and dismissing four or
five others until next year. If the
cadets cannot conform with the rules,
then they have no business there and
should not be allowed within the in
stitution. The first requisite of SOL
dier is to obey, and the cadets at West
Point should come to thoroughly I'M
derstand this. If disciplining in the
way that has been followed during the
past few days will not bring them
under the control which they should
submit themselves to, then it might be
well to carry out the more radical sug-
gestion of Congressman Lands of In
diana, to close the institution at West
Point for three or four years. Such a
course would doubtless bring the young
men, who wish to take advantage of
the course offered there, to their senses
and give them to understand that they
must learn to comport themselves as
gentlemen, rather than rowdys. There
is not much question but that congress
is in much the same mood as Congress
man Landis, and might possibly go as
far as he puts himself in favor of 60
ing if the young men there will not
mend their ways and it is quite likely
that the sentiment of the country is
such that it would sustain congress in
such action. The revelations which
have been made during the past year
have tended to disgust people every
where, and if change does not soon
come the general public will favor al
most any move that may be made, no
matter how radical it may be.

THIRTEITH ANNIVERSARY.
Second Regiment Celebrated II at New
Ulm on Saturday.

New Ulm, May. 27.-Saturday Co.
A. Second regiment, N. G.. S. NJ,
celebrated it's thirtieth anniversary.
1t is the oldest military organization
in Minnesota, and several distinguish
ed military men and civilians were
in the city from the twin cities and
other points in the state.
Company A has record of continu
GUS organization and service since
May %, 1871. Its history is part Of
the history of Minnesota, and during
its existence it has had the unique ex-
perience of being the only military
organization at the command of the
governor. At that time-1S79-Gov.
Pillsbury was called upon for state
aid by the citizens of Tracy. The
governor wired the New Ulm COM
pany, inquiring when it could report
for duty. The answer went back that
it could be ready in half an hour. The
order to proceed to Tracy followed
and inside of an hour and half after
the governors message the company
was at the scene of the disturbance at
Tracy, where a gang of railroad
laborers were on strike and threatening
to burn the town and destroy pro-
perty. When Company A arrived at
Tracy, Col. Bobleter, then in COM
mand of the company, found the
sheriff of Lyon county and several de-
puties in possession of the depot. They
had locked themselves inside the depot
for safety. The New Ulm soldiers,
without powder enough to fire two
rounds, made such demonstration
that the rioters became orderly.
The company was first organized as
the New Ulm military company.
Joseph Bobleter was president George
Walsh, who afterward became secre-
tary of state in North Dakota, was
elected secretary; Henry Weyhe of
New Ulm was treasurer. On May 25,
1871, the company was mustered into
the service of the state as an "unas-
signed company of the Minnesota ma
tional guard. The officers of the
company took rank from that date,
their commissions being signed by
Gov. Horace Austin. A..montk later
another company was organized in
this city. The two companies were
merged into regimental organizations
effected at that time, but which later
disbanded as the result of the refusal
on the part of the state legislature to
appropriate the sum of 81 for each en-
listed man. Company A retained its
organization, however, still keeping
the name of Company A until 1875,
when it took the name of the Cover
nor's Guards. The uniforms then
consisted of single breasted dress coats,
black trousers and black felt hat with
feather. Later the headgear was
changed to the French Shake. The
weapons used were the Springfield
leaders, caliber htty-tWo, and
sabers for the officers
In 1878, the company visited the
state fair, and in competitive drill
with Ames' zouaves of Minneapolis,
defeated the Minneapolis company.
On May %, 1896, the company cele
brated it's ''silver anniversary.
