TO SAVE THE Ems

KANSAS TREES ARE INJURED
state University AuthoritisssGive- Fmpov-
tsnt Information Tor Borsr Re-
Observation-Disclosures.

DR.. F. II. Snow Of the University Of
Kansas reports that a number of elm
trees throughout the state arc badly
attacked by borers, two kindsiof which
mature into beetles, for which there Is
no remedy except for the cutting down
and burning of the affected trees be-
fore spring. Already a number OF the
trees which have been grown for" shade,
and perhaps 20 years old. are wholly
dead, and IL not destroyed clearrt t the
roots together with those that are
dying will furnish breeding places for
the insects which will escape next
spring and endanger all the healthy
trees In the vicinity II not in the town.
This il the most destructive borer OF
he elm In the northern and eastern
states, often killing the trees by the
wholesale. More recently the ravages
Of this borer have been observed by
Prof. Forbes, whose notes are copied
from his third report on the injurious
insects OF Illinois:
From the present appearance OF the
elms throughout the towns Of central
illinois,. where I have had an oppor-
tunity to examine their condition, and
from the rapid progress which this
pest has made among them during the
last two or three years. it seems ex-
tremely likely that it will totally ex-
terminate the trees unless 1t be
promptly arrested by general action
The only remedy available Is unQues-
tonably the destruction Of affected
trees in autumn and winter before the
beetles have . chance to emerge from
the trunks. In towns this measure
should usually be taken by the au-
thorities. since individual action could
not be depended on to more than palli.
ate the difficulty. II every elm which
Is in the unhealthy condition above
described and which, upon examination
Is found to harbor these bo-ers beneath
the bark. were cut down In autumn
and burned before spring, the multi.
piicaf1on OF the borer might be ef.
~factually checked; but II the destruc.
ton OF the trees be postponed until a.
late as May, a part of all the beetle.

N SENATOR HoAR


Worcester, Mass. his Home Town. Psys
Tribute to Him
The city OF Worcester, Mass, bowed
beside the body of her foremost citizen
Senator George Frisbie Hoar, while the
state OF Massachusetts, and in a large
measure the nation sympathized with
the municipality In her grief.
The Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale
chaplain of the United States senate
and lifelong friend OF Senator Hoar,
conducted prayers at the home. Only
members OF the immediate household
and a few friends attended this service
The body was then placed In the
hearse by the active ~pali-bearers, all
present or past secretaries OF the sen.
ator. and the honorary bearers. Sem
ator Henry Cabot Lodge. T. Jefferson
Coolidge, Charles Francis Adams. At.
torney General william II. Moody,
former Governor w. Murray Crane,
General William +. Draper, Judge
Francis G. Lowell, Of Boston; Colonel
George II. Lyman. Of Boston; stephen
Salisbury, Henry A. Marsh, DR.. G..
Stanley Hall and William f. Rice, OF
Worcester. The active bearers and the
family escorted the remains to the
church OF the Unity.
The militia force OF the city. four
companies OF infantry and a battery Of
light artillery under arms. were sta
toned In the streets to aid the police
in the almost unnecessary effort to
control the greatest crowd ever seen in
the city. AS the hearse passed every
man barred his head and many women
sobbed.
The capacity of the church was 600
and IL was necessary to limit the at
tendance OF representatives of organ
izations to which the senator belonged
and municipalities to n person for
each.
At the conclusion OF the service the
body was conveyed to the city hall,
where 1t laid In state for a few hours.
The remains were taken to Concord for
burial.

A farmer Of Emporia; Kan. says
that there is considerable hog cholera,
about the country and It has cropped.
out in the swine herds Of nearly every
farmer along the bottoms. The losses
have been numerous about town, aud
n theory Is that ire cholera germ
was left by the unhealthy sediment Of
the last summer food. On the New
man farms north Of town the loss Of
hogs has been severe. Frank Wood,
south of town, lost twelve last week.
AL Of Mrs. HATS hogs died OF cholera,
and that Is a sample OF what the dis
ease is doing for the farmers. Many
of them hope to stamp out the disease
by killing the hogs as soon az they
show signs Of cholera. One farmer
killed six in n day, and says the
rest OF his herd has not since shown
signs of cholera.

Auditor Pierce decided that the order

chat the statutes Of the state did not
provide for mutual health insurance
and barred the Illinois company. Mr.,
Pierce also declared that the concern

Lexington. KY. experienced Its first
Sunday under the blue law regime. The
restrictions were greater than they will
be again. The city solicitor discovered
that milk and ice wagons are "a neces-
slty" and exempt by law. Only a few
milk wagons attempted to run and
their drivers were promptly arrested.
Most Of the population drank coffee
without al Families whose sick
children were deprived of milk COM
planned bitterly and threatened suits
for damages. Ice wagons did nc at
tempt to run. Late In the afternoon the
city solicitor decided that both have
the right to run and the drivers under
arrest we're released. Only about thirty
people we're arrested for violating the
Sunday law. although about two hun
dred had announced their intention OF
continuing business. They decided
when they started to open and saw the

Drug stores had q right to sell medl-
cine on prescription only, but this did
not pay to keep clerks and all drug
stores closed. The only places open
were hotels. livery stables and news
paper ofices. the latter classes having
secured injunctions.
No time nad been given citizens to
prepare for the strict enforcement of

n terrific. The slopes OF a high hill
were Uttered with mangled bodies and
severed heads and limbs. In one trench
the Chinese buried three hundred Jap

While II is true that the regular
water supply Of Port Arthur has been
stopped by the Japanese. the fortress
has other supplies. which can be taken
only when the city falls.
The garrison OF Port Arthur now has
sufficient food. but the supplies OF
timed meats are nearly exhausted and
the troops are now Strengthening thir-
ty donkeys daily for fresh meat. which
Ia worth $40 per pound. Eggs cost 20
cents each.
A private letter received at Che Foo
from Port Arthur gives further details
Of the fighting. The attack began with
. heavy bombardment directed against
nearly all the Russian %outposts and
many Of the main forts. The Smelling
Of the redoubts protecting the water
supply OF Port Arthur was tremendous.
