Mr.. Jones Thinks He Rather Has it on
the Mosquito. Levin T. Jones, of Balti-
more, has plan to get rid of the mosquito
evil. He says ut is well known that cup
of kerosene held under a mosquito resting
upon a ceiling will kill it and it will drop into
the cup This has suggested to me plan by
the use of which l have reduced the mosquito
nuisance to minimum. CONSTRUCTED hoop
about 10 inches in diameter, covering 1t with
saturate it and suspend the hoop from the
ceiling Git can be arranged so that it can be
raised or lowered) over my head. The idea is
that the insect must pass under the kerosene
surface to get at the head of the sleeper, some
thing it does not care to do. Anyone can con-
struct such an arrangement; it is inexpensive
and all right. No patent applied for. Out-of.

Weeds Along the Public Troublesome
farmers appear to forget that their land ex-
tends to the middle of the roadway, and that
they have rights and duties in connection with
the roadsides. 1t is common to find by the
wayside the largest weeds in the neighborhood.
They have had it all their own way, and
this has been to ripen large crop of seeds.
Such neglect of the roadside is great mistake,
and it not only gives neglected appearance to
the roadway. but is the means of propagating
weeds that do much damage to the crops in the
adjoining fields. 1t does not matter how clean
the cultivated crop may be kept if weeds are
left to grow just over the fence. 1t is too late
now to do more than to dig out and burn some
weeds, but of all kinds the seeds should never
be allowed to mature, so as to make the work
of subduing these pests less burdensome in the
future, besides adding to the attractiveness of
the roadway.

Fourth District.-Messrs Editors:-I en-
close q circular letter which seems to have
been sent out indiscriminately, even clergy
men not being slighted. Here is the circular ::
ITO Our Friends and Patrons We hear that
some church going people have tried to get the
county police to close US. They cannot do it,
We defy them. Our political influence is too
strong. We make the issue. Let them try
again." 49,
Then follows the name of 18th district
place and tells what goes on there in the way
of gambling. Now, Messrs. Editors, is it
possible that such an open, barefaced, blazing
to the world violations of the law cannot be
taken hold of by the authorities?
Is there anything in this open blast that their
political influence is too strong?
Can open violators of the law thus boldly,
with impunity defy the authoritiesP o, tenn
pora! O. moresi What are we coming to?
Is there not religious principle-is there not
moral principle enough in civilized Baltimore
county to break up this condition of things?
1t is bad enough when, as in some places
near Baltimore, this thing is done in acorner
and every effort made to hide it from open
public view. but to thus boldly defy 1t is to
be hoped somebody will see to it.
Yours, &C., r. H. M.

GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE a
SEARCHING INVESTIGATION
INTO LAND SERVICE
linking That Frauds Have Been Found
Similar to Those in the State
of Oregon.

When the government cleans up the
pending land fraud cases in Oregon
when the persons convicted are on
their way to the penitentiary and
those who have been acquitted are set
free by the courts, Secretary Hitch
cock will order a sweeping investiga-
ton into the public land service in the
state of Washington. There is an ink
ling that the same manner of fraud
that has been discovered in Oregon.
has been practiced north of the Co
lumbia river, but as yet there is no
proof of it. There has been the same
incentive for fraud; there was the
same rush for timber lands, and there
was the same high grade timber to
attract spectators and big lumber
men.
The Oregon trials will determine
whether or not the men now in charge
are to be trusted. If the government
wins out and the convictions are re-
turned against most of the men in
dicted, or soon to be indicted, the
president will be satisfied to let the
investigation proceed under the pres
ent management. If the cases fail.
there will be new secretary of the
interior, though Mr.. Hitchcock de-
cleares he is not at all uneasy on that
score. The failure to secure convic-
ton will also mean the retirement of
Mr.. Heney, the recall of Mr.. Burns,
and the discharge of many of the su-
coordinate officials. But so far as these
men have talked, they have all express
sed confidence in being able to prove
their charges.
1t is impossible at this time to tell
who will conduct the Washington in
vestigations, or when the work will
commence, but it seems improbable
that anything can be done until next
fall, as the trials do not begin in Port
land until June.
