chInch Bugs Are Damaging the Wheat In
stearns and Meeker.
Litchfield, Mimi, Aug. 8.-The chinch
bug situation has become so serious in
Stearns county and to some extent in
Meeker county, that Entomologist Wash
burn of the state experimental station is
visiting the affected districts.
He reports that some grain will not be
cut, and that some farmers, according
to their own statements, will lose 10 per
cent, others 80 per cent and some even
so per cent of the wheat crop.
This Is by no means the case every
where, as the bugs have only appeared in
certain localities. In almost every case
where the bugs are causing serious in
jury it is in wheat planted in corn land
which was not plowed but disked in.
The crops in the vicinity Of Litchfeld
and south of here are in fine condition.
Reports from st. Cloud, Sank Center,
GeorgeviIle, Brownsville, Maple Plain,
Little Falls and elsewhere are to the eff
feet that the bugs are worse than they
have been for years.

TO ENFORCE Law
Government Agents Hold Up Adult
terated Food Imports.

Washington, Aug. s.--Nearly fifty in
voices of wines and food products con-
signed to firms in the United States have
been held up by the treasury department
at the request Of the secretary Of agricul-
ture pending a chemical examination of
the samples Of the merchandise in ques-
ton. This action, which in, each case
amounts to temporary seizure Of imported
goods, has been confined to the last few
days, the first invoice having been de-
tanned on Aug. /.
The request for holding up cargoes OF
goods We're made in the effort on the part
of the agricultural department to enforce
the act Of congress passed at the last
session, which prohibits the importation
of food products containing deleterious
substances, products which are prohibited
from sale in the country of origin, and
products which are being shipped under
false Or misleading labels. Nearly all the
large eastern ports are affected by the
action Of the treasury department during
the last week. Invoices have been held
UP at Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New Orleans and other ports.

is five feet eleven inches tall, weighs 1876
pounds, has a chest on him as big as a

he is as strong and sound physically as he
chewed, nor tasted drop of intoxicating
liquors. and he never uttered an oath till
ne became a politician, which was when he
became about ten years old.
The new delegate from Oklahoma has been
IN politics practically since the day he first
began to think. He was born in Illinois
Oct 10, 1865. His parents, while he was an
infant, went to Randolph county, Missouri,
where they lived on farm until he reached
his sixteenth year. Then they all emigrated
to Chautauqua county, Kansas. But young
Bro gave up farming, went on the range
and roamed the country over as a cowboy
from the Rockies to the river and from Kan
sas to the gulf. This was the days when

marksman as ever rode the trail.
But this was life for business and not
made in bank instead of in poker and whisky
and came out 81, 100 to the good after two and
one-half years, of this stormy; career. Then
in 1884 he went to the Normal at Emporia.
Two years afterward he attended for a year
the law school at Lawrence. but off and on
ne taught school and continued at that pro-
fession until 1889. teaching at Jonssburg and
at Sedan, the county seat of Chautauqua
county, Kansas. - --..., .-.F
In the spring of 1889 he was elected county
attorney on the republican ticket, holding
the position for four years. a part of which
time he also served as mayor of Sedan. At

party elected, and at all other times he ran
ahead Of his ticket, and was famous in Kan
sas as being the youngest person who ever
held the office Of mayor or county attorney
in the state. fEF
MCGUIRE went to Oklahoma in the fall of
1893, and his friends say that this move was
made with the avowed intention OF running
for congress. His home is at Pawnee. From
1896 to 1902 he was assistant United States
district attorney, and perhaps has sent more
criminals to the penitentiary and the gall
