Daflculties Of Truit Growing.

Fruit growing is now perpetual
warfare against insect pests and fun
gous diseases. Most of these troubles
have been imported from older coun-
tries where they have prevailed for
ages, until the people have nearly
starved lin fact, have starved by thou
sands, because they lacked the knowi-
edge or the energy to combat these
enemies. Many Of these enemies Of the
fruit growers have become naturaIized
and now destroy annually millions Of
dollars worth OF fruit. IT will hence
forth require an energetic use Of such
measures OF protection as scientific In
yestigation may approve in order that
fruit growing may continue TO be a
profitable industry. We have this sum-

A Congressman Who Can wrestle.
The Hon Bird S. Mcclure, Oklaho-
mas new delegate to congress, was not
only one of the nerviest cowboys and
broncho busters on the plains before he
became lawyer, but in his early days
he made a reputation also as a wrestler
which still sticks. There would not be
much difficulty now in persuading him
to participate In bout provided 1t
could be done so secretly as not to in
terfere with the dignity essential to his
congressional position.
In 1884. when young Mcclure was
student at the State Normal ait Empo-
ria, Kan. he was in the height Of his
athletic glorx. He could throw and
outlook everybody in school, including
his roommate, the now governor of Ok
lahoma, the Hon. Tom b. Ferguson.
He practiced this sport for several
years after he left school and soon be-
came known as the best man in Chau-
tauqua county and in all southeastern
Kansas.
In 1886 Mcclure met and defeated at
the county fair at Sedan, Kan, pro-
fessional wrestler of the name of Web
er. Mcguire acquired great fame from
this encounter and afterward received
challenges from professionals through
out the land. The notoriety of it inn
PEELED him to give up wrestling.

ECEMIEN DEMAND
RAISE IN WAGES
Threaten to Strike May l, if
Salaries Are Not
Increased.

Employees working for the five ST
Paul ice companies have demanded an
advance in wages, and it is asserted
that unless the increase is granted the
teamsters and helpers employed by the
dealers will declare a strike and cease
work May l.
The men, who recently organized a
union ask that the salaries of team
sters be advanced to $50, and that
helpers wages be boosted to SIS. The
ice dealers say that the demands of
the men are unreasonable, and that
while they are ready to give an ad-
vance they will not pay the wages ask
ed by the employees.
AT present ice men receive from $45
to $50 a month. Transfers are paid
$60 and their helpers receive all the
way from $45 to $55. The men now re-
quest that a fiat scale of SIS and $50
be made for the six months beginning
May l and ending Nov. l. AS a COM
promise the dealers have offered to pay
$65 and $40 for the period stated in
the mems demand.
A meeting of the ice employees will
be held tonight at Federation hall, when
a committee with power to effect a set
Element will be appointed. The ice
dealers will meet the men Friday night,
and it is anticipated that an agree
ment will be reached.

TELLS HOW TO MAKE
CITY MISSIONS WIN
Rev. Charles Sickle Gives Instructive
Address at House of Hope.

Rev. Charles Stelzle, pastor of the
Markham Memorial Presbyterian
church, Of st. Louis, last evening de-
Hvered an illustrated lecture on "City
Missions" at House of Hope church.
He showed in number of photographs
views, better than any one could de-
scribe, the miserable conditions pre-
valllng in the slums of great cities, and
on the other hand gave views of yari-
Gus departments of several institutional
churches.
Rev. Stelzle showed that by adoptine
practical methods and by introducing
the features Of the city settlements,
mission work could be made much more
successful than by merely holding re-
ng1ous and devotional services. Nv
means of the institutional churches the
masses are interested through their
needs, and are then led to the teach
ings of the gospel
The hope of improving the lower
classes, Rev. Stelzle pointed out, lies in
the proper education of their children.
and, therefore, he urged that ADEQUATE
provision should be made for kinder
gartens, where the children may early
receive good impressions which will re-
main with them and which will render
their later training much easier than
II their education had been deferred fill
their habits had been formed.

SMALLPOX SUSTAINS
IT'S RECORD IN STATE
Secretary Bracken's Weekly Report
Shows 1862 New Gases.

Secretary Bracken, of the state board
of health, has issued q report of the
smallpox conditions in the state for
the week ending April IS. which shows
a total of 162 cases reported in the
course of that period and two deaths
from the disease.
The largest number of cases report
ed from any one locality was thirty
from Benton township. in Carver coun-
ty, which was recently visited by the
epidemic. but which is now practically
rid of the disease.
In st. Paul there were twelve cases
reported in the week mentioned, and
both of the deaths were in this city
although one of them should properly
belong to a previous report, as it oc-
CURED before the time embraced in
this report.
From Minneapolis there were eleven
cases reported, and from Elgin town
ship, in Clay county. a similar num-
Der; and the remainder of the cases
were scattered throughout the state in
small numbers.

{ The certificates are in denomination
of $500 each and run one, two, three.
four and tiFs years. On account of
the early maturity OF the bonds the
large Eastern bpnd- buying companies
do not care to bother with them, and
the county will have to depend upon
local purchasers for the sale of the
ceruhcates. The county commission
ers will be asked to suggest some man
ner In which, the sale of the bonds can
be brought ab6dt when they meet to-
day.
The tightnessi of the money market
is supposed to be responsible for the
failure to receive bids for the bonds,
which draw per cent interest. 1t is
now the intention of the county to
try and dispose of the bonds to local
parties. and it is believed that this can
easily be done as soon as it is known
that the bonds can be had by applying

pose OF them at par, no premium what

appear to be in any great demand.
When the bids were opened it was
found that applications had been made
for but $4,000 of the amount, and in
these bids no premiums had been of
fered. The bids were all from st. Paul
people, none whatever being received
from Eastern capitalists, as had been
expected.
AS result of the failure to receive
bids for these bonds the county Off
Gals are somewhat worried. County
Auditor Krahmer is of the opinion that
If the bids are not disposed of before
May 1, they cannot be legally sold at all,
and the county will be in the same DO
sition as it was before the passage of
the special law authorizing the issu-
ance of such certificates. County Treas
urer MetZdorf, however, contends that
If the certificates are issued before
May L they can be disposed of at any
time should purchasers be found.

Under the terms of the bond act the
city can only use 100000 each year of
the 100000 permitted. One-fourth of
the cost of each Improvement must be
met by taxation. the other three
fourths to be covered by the sale of
the bonds. This would allow about
$260,0OO for permanent improvements
each year.
