Will Do Little Injury.
These communities have no reason to be
alarmed, however, if the governmental
entymologists are to be believed The sew
enteen-year locust is not a pestilence, in
spite of the popular horror at its prospec-
tive appearance. 1t never does any dam
age to anything except young nursery
trees and the young shoots of mature trees,
and rarely inflicts any permanent injury
on the latter. When the female locust is
about to hatch its egss, it digs slight
opening in the young branch of the tree on
which 1t has found lodging. Afterward a
strong wind will often break off this
branch at the point where the eggs were
inferred. In this way many young fruit
and other trees have been harmed by ear
lier broods, and even the most hopeful OF
the governments students does not expect
all the trees to escape this year.
No other crop can be injured, however,
in the least The locust does not even
touch wheat, corn, rye, oats, berries, veg
etables or any other product of the field.
During his residence underground he eats
the roots which cross his little tunnel, but
this injury is so very slight as to be al

cred what they were before the life of the
1885 brood had ended This year, then,
they are on the.lookout for them and catch
them just as soon as the bugs appear. If
you look out in the park now you will see
the birds gathered about the two infected
trees picking the new locusts apart. The
activities of the sparrow will probably do
more to lessen the next brood of septendec-
imal locusts than any other cause. The
next brood will be much smaller than this.
After thirty-four years the brood will be
smaller still, and after a little more time
the whole species of this beautiful insect
will have become extinct.

On Reynolds.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The Woman's club met yesterday
afternoon with a good attendance.
Mrs. H. S.%FWilliston was the leader
and under her guidance the session
was full of vitality. The fourth act
of "The Tempest" was read in full
by the club and was followed by a
discussion of some of the principal
parts.
Mrs. w. H. Morse gave a Commute
talk on the life OF Joshua Reynolds.
This was a genuine treat. She told
of his pictures made on his thumb
nail while sitting in church, and by
means of which his talent was discov-
cred. His art training under Hudson,
his trip on the Mediterranean which
finally led to the vatican at Rome. the
mecca of all artists. His devotion to
his family and his friends, among
whom were the greatest men of the
day, was also described at length.

A COUNCIL DEADLOCK.
Eaezncy In Marshal's Office Will Con-
tinue for Some Time.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette,
in the chamber the other evening
when the city council met and ad-
journed without hearing anything
further concerning the nomination of
a successor to the late city marshal,
Mr.. Warner" remarked a well known
citizen to The Gazette yesterday.
whether it was an oversight of the
mayo or intentional l am not pre-
pared to say, but to say the least some
people were very much disappointed,
as it was expected that a clash be-
tween the mayor and council over the
previous nomination of Mr.. Tompkins
would occur"
In the meantime the city is run
ming along without an authoritative
head in the police department. Mayor
George is Saving wood and is evil
IDENTIFY keeping his own counsel, as
no one has heard him express an opin-
ion as to what he proposes to do with
the board of aldermen which has hung
up his nomination. It is true that
| Mayor George has taken a few extra
| reefs in his belt and injected a little
more enthusiasm into his bowling al
ley project, but beyond this no one
has noticed the slightest change in
the demeanor of the city's suave and
Woodworking chief official.
But there are grave responsibilities
approaching for the city council. The
enforcement of the COW ordinance, as
the herding season approaches, is one
of the things that has taxed the ca
pacity of the marshal's Office and if
the vacancy is to be continued Alder
man Reynolds, of the Second ward
will ask for an increase of salary.
Alderman Reynolds has taken espec'
ial pride in the past to see that the
COW ordinance has been enforced. He
has divided time with the marshal
in midnight COW roundups,
Now that the indications point to a
deadlock over the marshal nomina'
ton he fears that increased burdens
will fall upon his shoulders if the
ordinance relating to stray COWS is tc
be rigidly enforced.

WILL MEET AGAIN.
Billings Commercial Club Will Hcld
Another Meeting.
From SATURDAYS Daily Gazette.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The Billings Commercial club will
meet again tonight. The club has met
often before during the past year., but
if it has ever accomplished anything
for the good of the town the people
club has performed wonders, worked
miracles in the way of "discussion."
then resolved itself into a Rip Van
Wrinkle slumber, trusting that some
thing would be accomplished for the
good of the town by the time it vas
aroused for more "discussion' and
the passing of more meaningless reso-
l%utions.
But there is one thing that can be
said to the credit of the Billings Com
mercial club. The organization to a
man is harmonious. There has never
been a dissenting voice to all its pro
ceedings. 1t advertises it's meetings
and with good hard rustling for an
hour or two after the time appointed
for a meeting a quorum is mustered.
Less than a bakers dozen of the full
membership is usually rounded up at.
ter much persuasive argument and
the last Resolutions" are re-read and
adopted amid much enthusiasm. Then
follows the usual building of a few
more hot air castles followed by more
resolutions and adjournment is taken
until such time as the spirit moves
some member to call another meeting
of the farcical organization known as
the Billings Commercial club.
Seriously speaking the Billings Com
mercial club is composed of the rep
resentative men of the city. They are
men who are vitality interested in the
material development of the city. The
organization, however, lacks that vim
and energy which is characteristic in
/ every member in the conduct of his
( own private business affairs. Hall
the amount of tn. elixir of life inject
ed into the Commercial club as is
contained in each member in the pur
suit of his private business affairs
would make the organization a power
for good in the community.
