Unless Governor Sarles interyenes

seems unlikely, this is John Rooney's
last day on earth.
While Warden Boucher is uncom-
municative as to details of the execu-
tion, beyond stating that it viii occur
between II o'clock tonight and sun

that it will occur shortly after mid
night, as nothing is to be gained by
delay, and It Is natural to suppose the
warden will be glad when the un-
pleasant duty Is done.
The closest watch has been main

he does not repeat the attempt made

part of the session the request OF the

hool bill was received and g, sharp de-
bate ensued over an effort to have the

ment until Monday and when Mr.. Bev-
eridge objected the Ohio Senator said
with visible feeling:
"If compelled to consider the mat
ter now. we win consider it. and we
will keep on considering it, asking no
favor ana granting none"
1t was. evident from the utterances
which came from other opponents of
ioInt statehood that they were in

Elizabeth City, Feb. 18.-The report

There seems to have been no founda-

from some irresponsible and often un-

Though no clue to the whereabouts
Of the lost child has been discovered,

not give up the quest, even though

ted his inability to put on canvass a
picture of the visages of the Demo-
Gratis when they read Mr.. Parker's

Mr.. Underwood said if the major

they should do it by law. He declared
that they should not have the Presi-
dent do by unWarranted order what
they don't dare do by law.
Mr.. Benton (Mo.) said there would
not have been 25 votes against a SER
vice pension bill last year but when
it was found that it would require an
appropriation of $SS,000,000 the ma
jority thought it would not be wise to
increase appropriations to that extent.
Order No. rs followed. He said the
that they did not pass a service pen
sion bill because they did not want to
pay out $3S,000,000.
Mr.. Underwood sought to amend
the bill by reducing the total appro-
priation to 1892. 100000, but the
amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Robinson Und.) offered as an
amendment u section providing q SER
vice pension of $12 a month for all
soldiers who served ninety DAYS.

(Ey the Associated Press. J

Washington. Feb. 1S.-The De-
partment of Agriculture has issued q
report on the field experiments made
by the Bureau OF Entomology experts
with the cotton boil worm in 1904
saying that by adopting certain Gull
lural eXpedieDtS q satisfactory crop
OF cotton may be grown during years
of severe boil worm ravages.
The report urges the necessity OF
an early crop, based on the fact that
cotton is not attacked in force by
the boil worm until the corn in sur
rounding fields begins TO harden gem
orally. This is usually about the
first OF August. TO be of value in
boil worm control the corn planted
for this purpose should not be in silk
and tassel until August LIST.
The report recommends thorough
plowing during the fall and winter;
the use of seed of early fruiting varie-
ties OF cotton; fertilizers to hasten and
increase the growth of plants and
the formation Of fruit; planting at the
first practicable date i'll the spring
and early and frequent cultivation. In
