Battle with Outlaws.

The long search for Jim Wright
and John Templeton, leaders of the
Wright band of mountain outlaws
that have terrorized the border coun-
ties of southwest Virginia and east
Tennessee for years. came to an end
when both Wright and Templeton
were slain by a posse of nine men,
headed by Deputy Sheriff William
Darter. The two outlaws, together
with a son of Jim Wright, were To-
Gated and surrounded at Piney
Grove, Hawkins county, Tenn. Wright,
the head of the gang, escaped. A
hot battle ensued between the posse
on one side and Templeton and
Wright's son on the other. A number
of shots were exchanged, when Tenn
pleton fell dying, bullet having
penetrated his brain. Young Wright
then surrendered, after having shot
George Wolfe, member of the posse,
under the arm. The posse kept on the
alert, and located Jim Wright, when
a fierce fight was waged. Wright
shot and wounded Jack Robinson OF
the posse in the arm, and then fell
dying as the result of volley of
shots aimed at him. The bodies of the
two desperadoes were taken to Gate
City. Va, in wagon, where hum

BADE FAREWELL TO EMPEROR.
Emperor William of Germany and the
American Generals Exchange Fare
wells In Cordial Fashion.

Berlin, Sept. 13.-Emperor William,
in saying good-by to Generals Corbin,
Young and Wood, Friday, remarked
that he was specially interested in
three Americans. He admired Pres
ident Roosevelt unmeasuredly. He
admired his versatility, courage, pow
er for hard work and insight into the
needs of his country. His majesty
added that he watched Mayor Seth
Lows administra ton of New York,
because he thought it important 20
the commercial world that New York
city should be well governed. The
einperor also said he was very sorry
Andrew D. White, the United States
ambassador, was leaving his court. He
had the most cordial feeling for him
personally because of the man he Is
and for his services in fostering coed
viii between Germany and the Unit
ed States.
Gen. Corbin had an opportunity to
present President Roosevelt's message
about the st. Louis exposition, and
Emperor William said that he would
see that Germany had good repre-
sentation. 81 will send you large
party" he added pleasantly.
His majesty sent some personal
messages. to President Roosevelt
through Gen. Corbin, and asked to be
remembered especially to Miss
Alice" as he called Miss Roosevelt.
Emperor Enjoyed the Visit.
The emperor conversed with each
of the Americans and told them how
much he had enjoyed their visit. The
farewell took place IN the field just
after Emperor William returned
from leading the cavalry charge which
concluded the maneuvers. His maj
esty had bivouacked again with the
cavalry, and he had ridden with them
80 miles Friday in wide detour, from
a position in front of the right flank
of the reds" (Russians) to their rear
division. Nearly ten thousand horse
men left the camp at 4:50 o'clock and
the recall was sounded at 1905 a. m.
Gen. Corbin, who rode down the line
Immediately afterward, said he did
not see horse which was "blown
out" He considered it to be mag
nificent performance, and did not be-
lieve any cavalry in the world could
surpass it.
German Soldiers Love the Army.
Gen. Corbin and Earl Roberts both
said, in summing up their impressions
of the maneuvers, that the German
army is the most wonderful in the
world.
''There may possibly be a difference
among military men," Gen. Corbin
said, "as to certain details, but the
army altogether is matchless."
What pleased the American general
as much as anything was the spirit
of the troops-the love Of the private
for the army. The Americans had
te dragooned into the service; but
instead OF that being so, they liked to
serve and admired the army beyond
any other institution in the country.
The German soldiers love for the
army was in itself tremendous
force.

Beaumont, Tex, Sept. 12.-At day
light this morning the fire in the oil
field burned itself out, and tonight
there are only four wells and two
tanks burning. One Of the wells is
big gusher, and there will be much
trouble experienced in extinguishing
it. The smaller wells can be easily
handled, as the fire is principally fed
by gas. The oil is being drawn from
the tanks as rapidly as possible, and
they will probably burn themselves
out tonight. There is breeze blow
ing, but it is sweeping across the
field and toward the fire. Even if it
changes there will be little danger of
further loss, for the reason that all
the exposed oil has been burned off.
There is large force of workmen
on the grounds, and spread of the
fire can now be checked in its in

PEACH TREE BORERS.
New York Horticulturist Says That
Thorough Application of Tar
Will Destroy Them.

For the last eight years have set
peach trees every year and never
fail to make a thorough application
of the tar. With an old paint brush
l put it upon the trunk of the trees
before setting, spreading the tar
from the roots up the trunk from
eight to ~ inches. I am care
full to remove any borers that
many be in the trees as they come
from the nursery. 1 keep in mind
this fact that the coal tar will not
kill the borer deeply buried under
the bark, but will prevent the moth
from depositing it's eggs at the base
of the tree. The application of the
tar must be made annually there
after, being sure to finish the work
before the moth begins to fly, which
l believe is from June 1 to Is usual
ly. In making these annual appli-
cations it is necessary to insure sue
cess that the earth be removed down
to the roots. The bark from the
roots up eight to IL inches
must be completely covered with the
tar.
In case the tree is suffering from
the effects of the shot hole borer or
fruit bark beetle, I know of nothing
that is equal to the coal tar as a
remedy. In case of mechanical in
jury to a tree the tar is better than
any paint or wash we have ever
tried.-S. w. Wadhams. in American

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Chinese En- emies to the Destructive
Fruit Tree Parasite to BE Used
in This Country.

The department of agriculture is
preparing to fight the ravages of the
San Jose scale throughout the coun-
try with it's natural enemy, the lady
bug, brought from the interior of
China.
Assistant Botanist Marlatt has re-
turned from the orient, where he
sought the original home of the
dreaded scale. Far in the interior of
China, where European plants have
not penetrated, he found the scales.
and also the ladybugs which kept the
scales in subsection and permitted
the native plants to flourish. Mr..
Marlatt started home with a good
supply of these ladybugs, but only
16 survived on his arrival in this
country, and II of these Subsequent
1y died. The two remaining ones,
however, were nursed carefully by
the government, with view to fight
ing the scale in the same manner as
in China. There are now so of them,
requiring the constant gathering of
scales from the department grounds
for food.
Although not expecting the scales
to be exterminated in this country,
experts are planning to attack them
with their natural enemies.

Varlableness in Cow Pear.

The most marked variation in the
character of the COW pea is to be
found in the color of the seed, which
may be of any of the shades of black,
white, red, brown, yellow, gray, green
and purple, or they may be speckled
with two or more of these colors. In
shape they may be round, fiat or
broad kidney shaped or fattened at
the ends. The period of ripening re-
quired by different varieties varies
from 60 to more than 200 days, and
the same variety will ripen seed in
less time from late than from earlv
planting and in less time in cry sea-
sons than in seasons of an abundance
of rain, while an excess of nitrogen
in the soil retards both fruitine
and maturity, increasing the yield
Of vine and not infrequent]y decreas-

Try nm Acre of Alfalfa:

Alfalfa has been a standard crop
Of great usefulness in some western
states for years past. Experiments
have been made with it in, many
states east of the Mississippi. There
have been failures, of course, but
these experiments have demonstrated
that it can be successfully and prof
itably grown in the middle and east
ern states under the right conditions
of soil and culture. Therefore it is
recommended as trial crop to pro-
gressive farmers who will study the
needs of the plant in the way Of
soils and management. Start with
an acre or two, and don't give it up
if the first and second attempts are
failures. Experience only can give
the skill required for fairrtrial.
