absolute need of burning the straw pile. The flies emerging from the flax seeds in the center of the pile will never reach the surface.
 Since the fly lays it's eggs, as a rule, near the locality where it emerges from the 'flaxseed' it is best not to plant wheat on the same ground two years in succession where rotation is possible. Varieties of wheat that produce a stout stalk are the least affected by this pest.
 Cooperation is absolutely neccess- ary, for, however careful one may be, if his neighbor is not so the latters fields will afford a supply of the pest for the former. Since this pest issues from the f1axseed' early in May, or even in April, a. stubble field left for corn land and not plowed up to May 10 or later has probably discharged it's quota of flies ready for mischief before ploWing..
 aThe practice of sowing narrow strips of grain across the field early in the fall to act as decoys and later blowing then under has at times pro- we'd beneficial. The decoy planting should be done late in August or in early September. Pasturing early sown fields with sheep has also been followed with beneficial results"

Children Of Israel Said To Have
 Been Located In Mexico.
 The Omaha World Herald prints the following weird story:
 While in Mexico City during the winter George w. Lininger of Omaha, the well-known art collector who re- gently, returned from Mexico, made the acquaintance of Col, J. c. Tucker, | former United States Consul to Marti- nique, who related to him strange story of a race of people who live In an underground city in Central America.
 Tn some unknown way, he said, Colonel Tucker received information about a race who live in cities cut out of the rocks in the mountains of Central America, in an out-of- -the-way place, very difficult to reach, and which no stranger had visited before him and re- turned alive. He decided to investigate. After reaching a certain point Colonel Tucker had to travel 800 miles through wild jungles, carrying his provisions on pack mule, and enduring many hard ships on the way. As he neared the hidden city his every movement was watched and reported to the high priest of the tribe dwelling there, but no

awares, should the insect spread and continue to increase, the experiment station authorities have thought best to distribute this brief circular, treat ing on the subject.
 This insect is diminutive, dark colored fly, much smaller than a little mosquito, to which latter it bears a general resemblance. Its habit of lay jug eggs on young plants of wheat barley and rye renders it a dangerous farm pest Especially is this true of it in regions where winter grams are grown. It may also become pest at times even where spring wheat alone is raised, but there is little danger that this last will occur
 The fly appears chiefly during spring and fall, but few of the mature insects may be seen throughout the summer as well. Here in Nebraska the spring brood may be found late in April, dur ing May and the first part of June. The autumn flies issue late in August throughout September and the first part of October appearing later in spring and earlier in fall northward. lilG SSSSl bIC#uSpuo4ISu pubu III npIlllS and fall on the upper side of the leaves, and the young, as soon as matched, make their way down the plant to near the ground, where they lodge beneath the sheaf of leaves"
 As remedies Professor Bruner sug- gests the following: '
 Burn the stubble when possible. This is particularly desirable when for any purpose shallow blowing is una voidable. If the stubble is left long it will burn more easily. Some farmers willing to go to the trouble of spread ing straw from thrashing over the stubble, thus insuring the burning and at the same time getting rid of some 'faxseeds' which may have lodged on the surface of the straw pile at the time of thrashing. &

 He was welcomed by the high priest, who spoke good English. and was shown through their wonderful city, hewn out of the solid granite rocks in the mountain-side. To the un- Inflated the surface of the mountain gave no clue to the city concealed within it, It was entered by secret pas sages, cunningly concealed by Nature's s handiWork, and which led to large, commodious rooms handsomely furn- ished, mostly in old mahogany. Pass ages led to hundreds of other rooms and to a large hall, in which the strange people met and held meetings, while smaller openings for ventilation went upward, ending among the rocks and jungles above, so arranged that the rain could not enter.
 "The tradition among these curious people was that they originally came from a country far away, and that tEeir mission was to outwit their en- enies, who in the beginning pursued them. At all entrances there were side rooms, from which at moment s notice deadly gases could be let loose upon any hostile invaders who might enter, and which would kill them in- stantly, while by sliding doors of stone the gas would be kept from entering the city.
 These dwellers in the bosom of the rocks are agrtculturists and cultivate the valleys, raising corn, grain, fruits and vegetables. They do not keep themselves barred from the knowledge of the world, but send their young men, silently and secretly, to big cities of the world They return with the in- formation obtained Some of these men never get back home, being slain en route through the dangerous jungles, which are infested with tribes who rob and kill.

GOOD FRUIT FROM EVIL SEED.

GOOD FRUIT FROM EVIL SEED.
 It is as singular fact. that the land of witch-craft-where superstition and cruelty reached it's climax in America lis now regarded as the garden spot of liberal thought, intellectual develop ment and the best in our native litera- ture. Salem itself, which was the seat of the high court which passed it's un- just judgments and promulgated it's cruel verdicts, later gave us the great est romancer in history, for not far from the witch house" stands Flaw thorne's birthplace. Haverhill, Boston and Cambridge, hard by, gave us Whittier soui as free, from super stition and cruelty as ever graced the earth; Emerson, whose thoughts have led men on and ever upward away from the fears and fanaticisms of man, and Holmes, who was the poet of good cheer, the soul of that religion which finds it's creed in love to God and love to man"
 And about this same region Long follow and Thoreau and Agassiz and Alcott were at home.
 Possibly these towering characters who stand as the embodiment of the best in American life and letters, were the products of the same soil as that which stained our history with witch- craft. as the natural result of the re- vulison of sentiment. Extremes beget

 Prof. Lawrence Bruner, of the Uni versity of Nebraska, is the author of a bulletin, just issued from the State University Agricultural Experiment Station, which gives complete sum- mary of the habits of the Hessian fly, and names several remedies for It's ex- tiction. He says in the bulletin:
 Although the Hessian fly has been known for number of years to occur within the State. it has done compar- lively little damage in the past. Dur ing recent years, however, it has shown more of tendecy toward multiplying in dangerous numbers Especially has this been true In Southeastern Nebras- ka, where considerable injury has already resulted.

 Shortly after Z o'clock this morning cries of Murder! Policei Help!" were heard in the vicinity of the corner of Edgewood and Ellsworth avenues. Some one telephoned for the police and an officer made an investigation. He discovered that one of the residents had returned to his domicile in a drunken condition, and the things he thought he saw were the cause of his cries. He had been quieted when the police arrived, so no arrests were made. The whole neighborhood had been awakened, and were greatly excited until the cause was learned.

No very strenuous effort had been made to find Tweed, but it became , known at last that he was somewhere in Spanish territory. As early as Sep- tember 30 Mast cartooned the Boss as a tiger, appearing from cave marked Spain. Now, suddenly, came another report--a cable that one "Twid' (Tweed) had been identified and captured at Vigo, Spain, on the charge of kidnapping two American children.''
 This seemed a curious statment, for whatever may have been the Boss's sins, he had not been given to child stealing. Then came further news, and the mystery was explained. Tweed had been Identified and arrested at Vigo through the cartoon 'Tweedle-dee and Tildendum," drawn by Thomas Mast.
