SEARCH CUFFY'S HAIR FOR EN-
STRICTNESS OF THE QUARANTINE.
AGAINST BOIL WEEVIII.
The Destructive Cotton Bug VIII
Reach Mississippi This Year.
Government Still Active.

DR.. L. O. Howard, chief entomOlO~
gist of the department of agriculture,
predicts that the boil weevil will cross
the Mississippi river during the pres
ent season and gain foothold in
territory that does not now know the
little bug.
The states bordering on Texas have
instituted rigid system of quaran-
tine and inspection by the way of pre-
venting if possible the spread of the
pest. SO strict is the inspection it is
said, that at certain points in Louisi-
ana even the hair of the negro field
hands coming into the state from Tex
as is examined infinitely to ascertain
if by any possibility the boil weevil
has found Judgement there. There is
no record that Texas field hand has
been ordered to have his head shaved
and disinfected because of the pres
ence of boil weevil germs in his hair,
but that such examinations are made
goes to show how careful the authori-
ties are trying to be; and DR.. How
ards prediction that the weevil will
cross the river, despite all precau-
tions, shows what persistent enemy
the farmers have got to fight.
On several occasions wehave direct
ed attention to the facts that the ex-
perts are pretty well agreed that the
best preventives against the boil
weevil is to plant for an early crop,
to gather the crop as quickly as pos
sible, and to burn all of the old
stalks in the fields, leaving none as
harbor for the eggs of any weevil
that might have got into the field
during the season.

THE SEED WE'RE LIGHTER.
Some Curious Features of the Cotton
Crop of Last Year.


Crop of Last Year.
Among the curious features in con-
nectiOn with the cotton crop of last
season, as brought out by the Manu-
facturers Record, is the fact that the
proportion of lint to seed in weight
was exceptionally large. Ordinarily
$50 pounds of raw cotton as 1T comes
from the boil will turn out about $50
pounds of lint and 66S pounds of seed,
but last year the lint ran from "a to
40 pounds to the 100 of seed cotton,
with corresponding loss in weight
of the seed. And not only were the
seeds lighter, but poorer in oil-bear-
ing, according to the testimony OF oil
mill men. The average yield of oil in
former years has been about Al or AZ
gallons per ton of seed; last year the
average yield dropped to 80 gallons

MrLLIoNA1REs IN GEORGIA.
They Are Building Many Residences
on JekyI Island.

During the coming summer a num-
Der of handsome residences will be
erected on Jekyl Island, the home OF
the millionaires in Georgia.
1t is generally understood that John
d. Rockefeller, who recently purchas-
ed property on the island of the late
Gordon Mckay, will erect handsome
winter home. The property purchas-
ed by Mr.. Rockefeller is among the
most desirable on the island, being
situated only short distance from
the pier.
Joseph Pulitzer, the well known
New York editor, will add an addition
to his already handsome cottage. Mr..
Pulitzer now has one of the prettlest
cottages on the island, which cost
about $40, 900, and he will add two or
three rooms during the summer.
President Goodyear, of the Buffalo
and Susquehana Railroad, who is
q regular visitor to the island, will
also erect $35, 900 cottage before the
season opens next year, and Edwin
Could who now has two elegant cot
tages at Jekyl, will make number OF
improvements. A $4,000 cottage for
Mr.. Gould has just been completed and

son.
A number of other members, it is
reported. will either build new cot
tages or make improvements, and work

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.
"Hav BOX" Has Solved the Problem
of F'ireIess Stove.

.HaV Box Has SOINcu TIC IIODlChi
of FirelesS Stove.
Consular Clerk Murphy of Frank
fort. Germany, reports that the ebay
box'' has solved in Germany the prob
lem of fireless stove. Food is
brought to boiling heat for several
minutes in covered vessels and these
covered vessels are then placed in a
box filed with hay, a pillow is placed
over them and the box lid is made
tight. The hay keeps the pots warm
for many hours, during which time the
cooking process continues, with the
result that nine-tenths of the fuel is
saved. The pillow has to be dried, OF
course. after each use and the hay
must be kept dry and renewed when it
becomes moldy. Food can thus be
cooked with short, sharp fire be-
fore breakfast and will remain hot all
dav. The saving of trouble for she
housewife is great.

NO ANDERsoNvILLE SHOW.

New York Concern Has Abandoned
Purpose to Put on Spectacle.
An amusement enterprise in New
York has lately abandoned its purpose
to put on a spectacle called "Ander-
sonville," in which union soldiers
were shown hunted down with blood
hounds. 1t has been stated that the
show was abandoned because the dogs
could not be trained to perform their
parts. IF this be so, says the
American, then the dogs had more
sense than the men who planned the
entertainment. 1t is the cheapest and
meanest kind of spirit that viii seek to
play upon sectional prejudice that
should be long since dead. The war
ended forty years ago.

Inc MAN Id hoShA ~
Hair on Top of His Head.
The announcement that Miss Alice
Roosevelt is soon to be the guest of
Mrs. Longworth at Cincinnati has re-
vived the gossip about the probability
of the daughter of the president mar
rving Nick Longsworth, the son of
her hostess, who is popular member
of congress.
s'Nick' Longsworth is member of
the social set in which Miss Roose-
Welt has figured, and is very good
sort of a chap, whose money-has lots
of it-has not spoiled him. He has as
little hair on top of his head as John
d. Rockefeller, and while his fortune
is not as great as that of the Standard
Oil king he has enough to keep the
wolf from his door.
Mr.. Longsworth's attentions to Miss
Roosevelt long have furnished food
for talk. Ever since President Roose-
welt became the occupant of the white
house the representative has been Miss
Alice's frequent escort in public and
a welcome visitor in the presidents
household.

HOW IRRIGATION
HELPS A COUNTRY

Boise City, Idaho, Sept 5.-Twin
Falls, the new town which was found
ed last year, is just now celebrating
its first anniversary, with a popula-
ton of over 5000. The town forms
the center of district of over $50 900
acres OF former desert land, which is
now included in the new irrigation
district. Water was first turned into
the great canal system in June, in
time for raising crops this year. The
influx of settlers, however, began in
the early part of last year. The
branch of the Oregon Short line, from
Minedoka to Twin Falls, was COM
pleted a month ago and train serv-
ice has been established.
This district is 5000 acres larger
than the famous Salt river tract IN
Arizona, which is being placed under
| irrigation by the government, and is
the third largest in the world under
one system. The principal crop for
this year is sugar beets, the railroad
paying $4.50 ton at its stations. The
soil and climate, however, are suit
ed for the growing of all vegetable
products of the temperate zone. Most
of the settlers are from the western
states and territories.

REPORT PUBLISHED ~
ON COTTON CROP

New York, Sept 5.-Tn their weekly
cotton report Miller & Co. say: Re-
ports from Texas and other states of
the cotton belt indicate that the hot
and dry spell continues. One peculiar
result of this condition is the prema-
ture opening of the bolls, and the con-
sequence is an early movement of the
crop. So far It has rot attained any
great volume. The spinners are hold
ing off in accordance with a concerted
plan of action, while the farmers, on
the other hand, while willing TO sell,
are not inclined to lower the price be
low 10 cents for the purpose of find
ing buyers. The spinners in England
as well as in this country are enjoy
ing great prosperity at present and
they are not holding back because the
prices are really too high or their
trade Improbable at the present
prices, but merely as a protest against
the supposed attempt of the Southern
Cotton association to control the
prices and interfere with the law OF
supply and demand.

PERFECTO ARMIJ0 OPENED

First Official Act

Childers, E. w. Dobson and A. B. Nc,
MILAN.
1t was necessary that the discussion
be held in the court room as the
judges chambers were inadequate TO
accommodate the big crowd present.
The arguments being made before
Judge Abbott this afternoon are not
in the nature of hearing, but simply
to assist the court in getting infOrma-
tiOn on the case ar issue.
The contention of Mr. Field is that
Perfecto Armiio is sheriff of Bernal-
lilo county; that the commission of
the governor has prima facie effect.
The attorneys for Mr.. Hubbell claim
that no vacancy existed in the Office
al the time Governor Otero appointed
ArmijO TO fiji the vacancy, as Mr.
Hubbell had not resigned or died
therefore the executive had no author
ity to act.
In support of these contentious the
attorneys were busy up to four O'Clock
citing authorities upon them.
