The Mosquito Destroyer.

The recent announcement of mos quito destroyer is commented upon in Popular Science Monthly in no very un- certain terms. II is pointed out that the original paper published in bulletin 3 of the public health and marine hospital service hardly justifies the newspaper claims which were made for it. Dr. Stiles, the author of the investigation, simply discovered new parasite of the mos quito. several of which were already known, and pointed out that these or ganisms might be of value in hold in check the mosquito plague. There are many technical difficulties in the way of practical utilization of these destroy CTS" and there was in the original article no intimation that the public health service is breeding the germs In order to infect mosquitoes.

The Sells g. Downs Show.

Last Monday was show day in Cha
mute. The farmers are so behind
with their work on account of the
late spring, that they did not turn
out in very great numbers. The show,
taken all in all, was really good. The
parade was interesting and, though
short, was glittering success. The
side shows were rank fakes. Much
Of the riding in the main show was
very ordinary as was also the spring.
board work. Some of the trapeze
work was good. The tumbling and
posing was very superior as was the
bicycle work.
Taken all together the show was
very satisfactory to the people and
every one seemed to think he got the
full worth of his money, expect those
who were buncoed in the side show
annexes. Possibly these men got full
value in the experience they received.
The show people were orderly and
quiet and we heard of no disturbance
during their stay.

The expected crowds Of farmers did
not materialize. Corn planting was
engaging their attention about that
time.
Strange that Dave Houston forgot
to go to the country on show day.
The parade was short but very pref
ty. The eight ladies riding astride

One elephant was a buster and the
camels were as ugly as usual.
The caliope seemed to have frog
in the throat.
Many of the.farmers brought their
families In to see the parade and then
went home.
The boys got all they bought in the
side show and are lucky to get no more.
The hoochee coochee seemed to at
tract the boys with gray hair.
Shell Brown is the cruelesG papa in
town. He brought his boy down Sum
day to see the animals unloaded and
then would not let him run after the
elephant or 60 to see him drink.
Mr.. Stonebraker's wife just had to
come to town show day. Jas. Mundel
had urgent business in town the same
day. Geo. Balch says it was the first
show where he saw the elephants un-
loaded. Clay Dryden followed the ele-
plants out to the show ground with
the rest of the kids. Capt. Gibson
only went out to see the pretty horses.
Claude Gibson brought his family and
dinner with him.

FAST TIME,

Opal II. made new record on Main
Street last Tuesday. Her owner, Col.
Dora Herod, and w. o. Thomas had
her hitched to light buggy and were
driving up Main Street leading two
colts when the switch engine came
snorting across the street, frighten-
ing the colts and causing them to
crowd against the buggy. The mare
became frightened and whirreling
around she tumbled Col. Herod and
Mr.. Thomas out and started east at
her best ticks.
At Fay's corner she struck the side.
walk and stuck to it for two straight
blocks. She lost the last remnant Of
the buggy at the excavation being
made east of the city hall. The last
part of her course was over the new
cement sidewalk being laid in front
of Morey & ,Winfelds' place Of bust
ness. She left her imprint in the soft
cement. She was stopped at this cor
ner. At the DR.. Fay corner Miss
Grace Miller CHANGED to be on Che
walk and did not heed the warning
cries. She was struck by the buggy
and hurled and rolled several feet.
She was picked up and taken into DR..
Lights Office where it was found she
was considerably bruised and had re-
ceived an ugly cut on the head and
one over the eye but no serious injury.
Miss Miller is Miss Nettie Dewey's
sister-in.law and had just come to
town to STAY with Miss Mettle during
her mothers absence on a visit. The
buggy was literally torn to pieces, the

Frlghtful Accident,

Sunday night, at Buffalo, freight

into the caboose of a work train on

many men. Ten were almost instant

still others are badly crushed. There
were 81 people in the caboose when it

TRAVELLING is DANGEROUS.

Constant motion jars the kidneys
which are kept in place IN the body
by delicate attachments. This is the
reasons that travellers, trainmen,
street car men, teamsters and all who

disease in some form. Foley's Kidney
Cure strengthens the kidneys and
cures all forms of kidney and bladder
