FUMIGATING TENT.

with the aid of the agricultural college
and government and state experiment
stations and agricultural institutes.
With this knowledge has come the ne
cessity of better appliances for inducing
healthy plant growths and guarding
against diseases, both in fruits and veg
etables. A century ago the idea OF
smudging tree to rid it of insects or
worms might have been scoffed at, but
now the need for an apparatus like the
one we illustrate can be easily compre-
hended. This tent-like device is intended
to inclose completely trees OF considera-
BILE size, and Is constructed Of series
of overlapping sections, which can be
placed in position while folded, and
allowed to fall down all around the tree
until the lowest section reaches the
ground With the tree thus inclosed.
1t is an easy matter to build a fire inside
the tent and apply the chemicals which
will fumigate the foliage or rid the limbs
and trunk Of any fungus growths detri-
mental to Its health.-Chicago News.

TERRIBLE DEED.
Thieves Explode Dynamite Under .
Buggy One Occupant Killed
Big Sum of Money Missing.

Washington, Pa, Sept. 2S.-One OK
the most fiendish and bloodthlrsty
murders and robbery in the history OF

afternoon On the Middletown road, about
Is miles from here. Samuel I. Fer
guson, Of the Ferguson Construction
company, of Pittsburg. was instantly
killed and his secretary, Charles l..
Martin, of Cincinnati, was fatally In
jured. The two men were driving along
the road in a buggy, carrying $3.6O0 IN
cash, with which to pay off some or their
men employed on construction work
along the line of the Wabash railroad,
when suddenly an explosion OF dynamite
in the roadway literally tore the rig to
pieces, killed Ferguson outright ana
threw Martin 200 feet and tearing his left
arm almost from the socket.
The work of the men evidently was
we'll planned and carried out carefully.
A score of sticks Of dynamite must
have been imbedded beneath the cul-
vert. Leading from the dynamite d.
rectly in the center Of the highway
was 60 feet of fine copper wire care
fully insulated. This wire connected
with the battery found in the trees.
Just prior to the approach Of Ferguson
and Martin several vehicles had passed
over the dynamite, but the occupants
were not molested Besides the bat

CHICAGO CELEBRATES.
Observance of City's Centennial An
niyersary Begins with Spec
tacuIar Denomination.

Chicago, Sept. 28.-This city has be-
gun a six-day celebration Of its one
| hundredth anniversary. A century ago
the first spadeful Of earth was flung in
preparing to build Fort Dearborn. To
commemorate that simple event Chica-
COS 1000, 900, aided by hundreds OF thou
ands Of visitors, will put In the time until
next Thursday night recalling early days,
reviving ancient memories and honoring
the pioneers who made possible the Chi
cago of to-day. The buildings in the
downtown district are gayly decorated
for the occasion. Flags and shields, the
nations colors and the city's emblem,
enliven the dull brick and stone in the
commercial center Many residences, too,
display banners and bunting in honor
of the season set aside to point to past
achievements.
At two o'clock Saturday afternoon the
centennial began with the formal dedica-
ton of nine historical tablets depicting
notable events in the annals Of the city.
Exercises were held at the public library,
where a tablet portraying the first and
second Forts Dearborn was unveiled with
appropriate ceremonies. All the morn
ing the tribes Of visiting Indians, the
Chippewas, the Pottawatomies, the Win
nebagoes, the Sacs and Foxes, and the
Ottawas, were the center Of attraction
while they raised their tepees and wig
vans in Lincoln park
At night a spectacular demonstration
wildly recalled the great fire which de-
stroyed the city in 1871. Under the watch
ful eyes Of fremen and police, 5000
pounds OF red fire was burned In the
downtown district, brilliantly illuminat-
ing large part Of the city.

Meeting In Washington-Sennt
Hanna Proposed as Referee in the
Present Controversy.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 25.-Simon Burns,
general master workman Of the knights
of Labor, returned from Washington, D..
c., Thursday, where he had been attend
ing a meeting Of the general executive
boards. He reports the adoption by the
general executive board Of the following
resolutions:
Whereas, The newspapers report that
certain labor organizations and their
leaders are attempting to have organized
labor take up the fight of the enemies Of
President Roosevelt, because Of his &C
tion in the dispute existing in the govern
ment printing office in Washington, and
believing the president the best friend
organized labor ever had in the white
house and that the present move is a
political one in the interest Of prominent
republicans who control some few la
Dor leaders with desire to attempt to
defeat the nomination Of President
Roosevelt,
Therefore, BE It resolved by the gem
eral executive board Of the order OF
Knights Of Labor incorporated:
THAT the action taken at this time
against President Roosevelt is not In
the interest Of organized labor, but
political move that If carried out Will
disrupt or lower organizations and In
lure the members, and If the leaders at
tempt any such action the majority OF
the members Of all organizations with
out regard to their political opinions
should refuse to recognize and repudi-
ate such leaders and their action.
"Be II further resolved, That such
action as is contemplated against Presi-
dent Roosevelt IS one Of the many err
rOrs and mistakes made by organized
labor, and they seem inclined to ignore
the rights Of others, create strikes and
make demands that are unreasonable, re-
lying not on the justice Of their con-
tcntion or claims, but the amount OF loss
or trouble they can cause others and to
see what they secure by depending on
politicians and not On the justice OF
their demands.
"And. be It further resolved, That
as Senator Hanna, Of Ohio, Is said TO
be great friend OF organized labor and
that he IS also considered a loyal sup
porter and sincere friend Of President
Roosevelt, We, therefore, suggest to
both sides Of the present controversy ex-
listing In the printing Office that they
refer the dispute to Senator Hanna for a
decision"

Farming century ago consisted prin-
cipally of planting the seed, keeping
out the weeds and waiting for the hart
vest, with little or no conception of the
chemical processes through which the
soil induced the plant growth and, cons
sequently, no knowledge of how thei
plant growth could be forced by the ad-
dtion to the soil of the chemical con-
stituents which were lacking. Likewise
the apples and small fruits were looked
upon as side issue, which must be left
largely to chance in producing profit,

SUB-EARTH FACTORIES.
How Roots of LeguminOus Plant
Change Free Nitrogen of the
Air Into Soil Nitrates.

The farmer Is not generally looked
upon as a manufacturer. Yet on hid
lands and under them, on the roots O.
all leguminous plants, there are a.
work the microscopic creations thaE
labor in changing the free nitrogeIs
of the air into soil nitrates that may
be used by the plants. Every nodul1
on the root of plant is an immenst
factory. 1t may be smaller than 8
pea, yet in it are multitudes Of the lit
tie workers. They existed from the bee
ginning of the development Of legum!S
inosae on the earth; but man has
only recently discovered them. Be!
fore he understood that they were then
friends Of man, he regarded thesev
factories as symptoms of plant dis, ,
eases, and various remedies were inll
vented for the cure of the said dish
eases. But later such efforts were.
found to be misplaced, and it was
recognized that these same tubercles
were part Of the machinery of Mother\
Nature, by which she kept the soil
supplied with the so-readily soluble
forms of nitrogen, which aloae can
be taken up by the roots of plants.
In the woods and on the prairies there
are numerous forms of leguminosae,s-
which help to keep up the balance rec
quired. There are the wild peas the
beggar weeds, the vetches and their
relatives. On all of their roots are
the little nitrogen factories crowded
with workers. Man is able to assist
these laborers and make it possible
for them to increase their product.
This is manufacture in which therev
is not danger of over productions

SALTPETER FOR STUMPS.
Massachusetts Experiment Station
Declares It's Use to BE Costly
and Not Effective.

A correspondent in one of our agri-
cultural papers reports that he had
found it possible to destroy stumps In
the following manner:
A hole one or two inches In diameter,
according to the size OF the tree, and
IS inches deep Is to be bored in the
stump. Into this put from one and one
half to two ounces OF saltpeter, fill with
water and plug tightly. Six months
later put into the same hole about one
gill Of kerosene oil and set fire to it.
The stump will shoulder away without
blazing, even down to every part Of the
roots, leaving nothing but ashes.
On November 4, 1895, so stumps of
trees cut in 1894, including maple, hick-
DRY, hemlock, white pine, yellow birch
and elm, were bored according to d.
rections. On December II saltpeter
and water were put in the holes, &C
cording to directions, and the holes
plugged. During July, 1895, the plugs
were removed, the holes were filled
with kerosene and an attempt made to
burn the stumps. II was found that
not even the oil would burn. Portions
Of the stumps were left until June, 1897,
when another attempt was made to
burn them, uslng low test oil, called
paraffine gas oil. The stumps are still
in the field The method has been
given thorough trial. but must be re-
garded as a complete failure.-Report
