work on the M. & st. L. railroad, have
adopted a new plan that is expected to
result in pushing the work of steel

agreement with the steel laying crews,
the contractors promise to lay two and
one-half miles of rails every day. The
men will lay half the distance in the
morning and the other half in the af-
ternoon regardless of the hours of la
bor, and a schedule of wages will be
paid according to the amount of work
accomplished.

nor do | believe that he would sup
port me at any critical point. 1t has
amused me greatly when such men as
Murphy McCarren and Sullivan have
come out as my supporters. They
have not meant what they said
The object of these bosses in say
ing that they were supporting me has
been, | believe, to affect primary vot-
ing and to confuse men who are real
ly on my side. The primary principle
of the independence league, of which
am member, is the destruction of
bosses and bossism. and cannot see
how such men as Murphy can really
be out for my support"
Is there any truth In the report.
Mr.. Hearst, that there is coolness be-
tween you and Mr.. Bryan, because Of
the fact that you may be presiden-
tial candidate in 1908?"
Mr. Hearst laughed. Not the slight
est truth" he said.
.gFhe secret of my attitude toward
the Bryan reception can be explained
very simply" said Mr.. Hearst. Il am
q member of the Independence league,
which represents both democrats and
republicans. 1 felt that officially I
should take no part in this Bryan mat
ter felt that II might not be proper
TO take official action which would al
ly the league with. the Bryan move
ment.
Il will say, however, that / intend
to pay visit to Mr. Bryan in my pri-
vate capacity and also to attend the
meeting. | will do these on the ground
that am a free American who can
do as he pleases.
AS to the story that there is Il
coolness between myself and Mr.. Bry-
an, | will say there Is none unless Mr.
Bryan has changed his mind since he
left Europe. | will go further and say
that he sent me letter of congratu-
lation on my run for the mayoralty.
and IL there is a GOODNESS it began since
the date Of that letter"

FROM ARMY WORM
BUTTERFLY EPIDEMIC EXPLAIN
ED BY MiNNEsoTAN.
he Says the Millions Of Butterflies
That Have Caused wonderment in
This Section Came From the Old
Fashioned Army Worms.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. 2g.-Farm-
er McFadden of the insane hospital
farm here has discovered the secret Oh
the sudden appearance of mnumerable
butterflies at various points in this
section of the state. He finds that
they are the army worm. fully devel-
oped
He found this worm at work in the
oat field on the big hospital farm a
few days ago, and eight acres of grain
We're destroyed before the field could
be harvested, although the work was
pushed with all possible vigor as soon
as the pest was discovered.
The worm may not be the true army
worm, but it works very much like it,
and it's habits are similar, as it seems
to conceal itself under the ground in
the daytime and accomplish it's work
of destruction at night.
MIR. McFadden has been keeping
careful watch, and finds that the
worms turn into butterflies. after the
manner of a great many worms, and
1t is these butterflies that have caused
at different points
The worm is not likely to appear
again for several years. and no alarm
is felt about next years crop on ac-
count of it. but if 1t had covered the
country generally, as thoroughly as ii
did a small section of the hospital
farm, few days ago. and put in it's
before the grain was ready
to be harvested, the northwest would
have experienced a greater calamity
than it did when the rust set in in
