off For the Encampment

Company III, S. d. N. G. of Kimball
left for the state encampment at
Watertown Tuesday morning with
thirty-five men. August Marty and
.Chas. Novotny we're detailed as cooks
and left Monday morning to have the
grub ready when the hungry young
soldiers should reach camp. There
has been fear in some quarters, how
ever, that August and Charley would
spoil the ice cream and pie-but those
who know the culinary capabilities OF
the pair didn't worry a bit. She Sec
ond regiment went into camp last
week and broke camp last Sunday.
This week the Third regiment will
find what life is in camp under the
discipline OF the regulars -and it will
be no picnic. The boys will be kept
right on the hop from $50 to taps.

The Box Elder pests

A special from Pierre says that the
little green lice are playing the deuce
with the box elder trees in that city
and the only way they get rid of them
is to knock them off the leaves with a
strong stream OF water from hy-
drant. We can't do that very well in
Kimball, seeing that there isn't
enough pressure to throw a strea M
into tree. About the only trees in
Kimball to suffer seriously are some in
front OF John Parker's place and those
in front of the Tinan home. The
trees along the sides of the yards at
both these places seem to have escap-
ed-t though few of T. A. Berry's
trees have the pests. Three of John
Parker's biggest trees among the
finest in town are stripped of all
foliage as in mid-winter. They pre-
sent a sorry sight after all the work
and labor that Mr.. Parker has put on
them for fifteen years or more.
Whether the trees will survive is a
matter OF guess.
We wrote G. w. Gurney, the we'll
known Yankton nurseryman, about
the pests and from what he says we
opine that it is quite a serious matter.
He says that the lice are the same
pests that destroyed the melon vines
there last year. They tried every
thing, but only succeeded in killing
the vines. The lice do not eat the
leaves, but congregate along the stems
and suck the juice, Having no ia VS..
not being leaf eaters. paris green,
london purple and such poisons have
no effect on them. The only way to
reach the lice is with kerosense emul-
sion, which must be thrown directly
on them with sprayer. AS the pests
are always IN the uuder side Of the
leaves this is difficult matter--but
much good can be accomplished by a
thorough drenchiDE OF the trees.
| The formula for kerosense emulsion
which is equally efficient in poultry
houses-is as follows: Take one-halt
bar OF cheap laundry soap and dissolve
it into two quarts of warm water.
Then add one pint of kerosense and
mix thoroughly. If with a spray
pump, pump the compound back and
forth until the oil and water is
thoroughly mixed. Add about two
pals OF water and it is ready for use
II this preparation is used in her
house dilute with one pail of water
, only
The writer went over few boz
elders with this preparation-using {
spray pump-with mixture diluted
with one pail of water, and found thai
it made the lice mighty tired-but il
was little too strong for the tende
leayes--hence we would advise. dilut

EARNINGS OF RAILROADS
GROSS RECEIPTS MAY FALL OFF,
But NET RESULTS WILL IMPROVE.
Arrangements of Many Systems Inter
ested in the Coming Decision I'm
Northern Securities Case.

AS the old business is now quite cleaned
UP, or will be before the close of Decem-
Der, those who make a study of the rail-
way situation say that after Jan. l there
is strong probability of a falling of in
gross earnings of the railroads from their
recent high range. The advance in grain
rates of yesterday will naturally curtail
shipments of grain somewhat until prices
in the East adjust themselves to the new
condition. Railroad officials think that
such will be the case from the conditions
surrounding many of the roads. There are
some roads which will doubtless continue
to show large earnings on account of the
large tonnage of coal to be handled in
addition to other lines Of freight that
move during the winter months. The shut
ting down of building operations, owing to
cold weather, and the decrease in lumber
traffic will probably be felt somewhat, but
will be more than overbalanced by the
increased consumption of coal as compared
with several previous years. falling off
in gross earnings, however, is not expected
to affect the net revenue as much as it
would had it occurred earlier in the season.
Economies in operating expenses and in
other lines have been made in anticipation
of a reduction in earnings by many OF the
lines, including the Lake Erie & Western,
the Wabash, the Big Four and many other
Central Traffic Association lines, the ex-
penditures in improvements, which have
been large during the summer months,
being cut off.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
HARDWARE MERCHANTS EXPECT
REDUCTION In IRON AND STEEL.
Present Prices of Manufactured Prod
uet Are Too High, Compared with
Condition of Steel business.

Indianapolis hardware merchants are looking
for a reduction in the price of iron and steel
goods. Present prices for the manufactured
product are too high. compared with the
price of STEEL ii is said. 1t is expected by
some merchants that the cut in steel goods
will amount to perhaps Is per cent
1.-The price of steel has been getting lower
and lower for a long time now, but there has
been no reduction in the prices of the manu-
featured products" said member of one OF
the largest houses eve have been looking
for a cut for some time, but yet the manu-
facturers have indicated intention of making
a reduction 1 expect. however. that prices of
the manufactured products will be decreased
within a few weeks. Prices too high now;
that is certain"
ON COMMISSION ROW.
The general feeling in eggs seems to be little
easier. The average price of fresh eggs holds
around % and &c cents. The price does not
really show the condition of the market. Ad-
vices from Boston and other Eastern markets
are to the effect that eggs are slightly easier,
with prices holding fairly steady"
All last week there general feeling of
uncertainty among the local dealers toward
eggs. Prices were high. and the Eastern mar
kets held up well. but of the dealers here
would make purchases much in excess Of the
demand in sight. They afraid of the mar
ket. They thought the price too high,
and that they would suffer loss likely IL they
loaded up very heavily.
This uneasness has materiaized somewhat
during the past two days. material reduc-
ton of the market Is not in sight, however.
Fresh eggs are retailing in many parts of the
city at 80 cents This price is regarded as too
high for large business in fresh eggs by the
retailers. good many wholesalers say.
1t is probable that the week will see an in
crease in the price of cabbage. a large dealer
on Commission row said yesterday Consider
able complaint is heard of a good deal of the
cabbage received here from Michigan the past
day or two being frosted.

tinues normal. Prices generally hold firm with
Indications of higher prices in several lines.

Week.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec
IA little over 100 head of horses arrived for
the opening auction sale this week, which is a
good increase over last week, but no than
expected at this time in the year. Nearly all
grades or horses were represented. but there
was not complete variety on account of the
absence of extra draft horses.
Inere was better attendance of buyers than
isst week, and consequently more animation in
the bidding. but prices realized for the most
part We're not higher than they have been for
some Time past. Occasionally it possible to
sell an extra good horse at better figures, but
such sales were exceptions
Inere were q few extra good coach horses
sold above $500. but not many above s175, and
medium to good drivers and coach horses sold
from SlOO 10 $l5O There very few draft
horses GOOD enough to bring $780, and me-
0ium 10 good chunks sold from 500 to $780,
Inere was only fair demand for Southern

Trying to Break Important Contract.

Hearings which have been in progress
several months before Referee Charles An
drews, ex-judge of the State Court of Ap-
peals are drawing to a close in the case of
certain stockholders in the New York &
Harlem Railroad Company to set aside a
contract entered into by the corporation
and the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad Company in 1897, which amended
the lease of the Harlem tracks irto New
York city to the Central company The
suit was brought in the Supreme Court
some time ago. and hundreds of pages of
testimony has already been taken before
the referee.
The compliments, who hold more than
5000 shares of Harlem stock, aver that by
Illegal action on the part of a majority of
the members of the boards of directors of
the New York & Harlem and the New York
Central companies, stockholders in the for
mer have been deprived, through the loss
of $4,000 annual rentals, of an amount
aggregating at least $50, 100000
The suit is to set aside and adjudge void
what is known as the second supple
mentary contract, entered into between
the companies in 1897, which amended the
lease of the Harlem to the New York Cen
trail company. This contract reduced the
rent payable by the Central company to
the Harlem company $4,000 year for the
unexpired term of the lease after May /,
1900 making the total reduction mentioned.
In addition to this the plaintiffs allege GER
refunding by the Central of s10,OO00O0 of
Harlem company bonds, whereby syndi-
Gates made up of favored directors and
stockholders in both railroad companies
made enormous profits that should have
gone to the New York g. Harlem stock
holders.
The original contract between the Har-
lem road and the New York Central was
signed April 1, 1873, and was to continue in
force for a period of 401 years, so that the
contract had nearly 374 years to run when
the action to which objection was taken
by the directors.
