Glover Root Borer.

The clover root borer is a small
brown insect whose young is a white
grub with brown head and jaws. As a
rule. clover infested with this pest be-
gins to die in spots over the field in
late July or August. Ordinarily, if this
injury is. noted by the farmer it is at
tributed TO the effect Of dry weather,
and the further destruction that may
not become more obvious until the fol-
loving spring is charged up to the eff
feet of winter. Now the young of the
borer are footless grubs without eyes.
and living roots are with them essential
10 life. Let the roots wither or die
while the grubs are still young and they
must perish. If while the insects are in
this helpless stage, which continues
some time after the hay crop has been
removed. the land is broken and the
clover roots thrown up to the action Of
sun and wind these viii wither and dry
out. thus destroying the insects infest-
ing them. While this does not save the
clover it destroys the pest SO that it
does not develop and make its way to
other fields.

all the facts proved by the govern
ment except that he committed an
indignity on his wife's body after her
murder. He stoutly denies this,
though he admits going out to the
body twice during the night, after he
had killed her, and before he fed. He
admits that the charge that she was
faithless was a lie.
The gallows was yesterday thorough
ly tested and found to be in readiness.
A beam weighing 1913 pounds was drop

gallows both stood the strain perfect

Captain J. G. Wilkinson, United

able experience in such things. To-
day the scaffold is being moved from
Millers lumber yard, where it was
built, to the jail. 1t was erected
there in the south corridor, where
the execution will be hidden from
the prisoners. 1t has not been decid-
ed who will spring the tap for Cot

the proposition Of establishing two

brought up. The board viii meet the
latter part of this week.
Manager Lahman Of the light plant
was present to explain the bill for
street lights He protested against
the present plan Of having the night
police report TO the council on all
lights not burning, without reporting
to the light company. Instructions
were given that reports should be
made to the company daily Of all
lights not burning.
The finance company reported bills
of s3Ol 95, Of which s2l4,50 is the light
company's bill for July. The bills
were ordered payed,
There was then long and at times
acrimonious discussion Of the ordin-
ance fixing the curb line on the vari-
GUS streets. This ordinance was
drawn some time since, but never
passed The only point Of difference
last night regarded the width Of the
parkway on Canadian avenue. Under
the new ordinance this would be rs
feet, but not long ago petition ask
ing that the width be fixed at 20 feet
was granted Last night several
residents of Canadian avenue we're
present who desire the % foot park
way.
Finally, after nearly an hours
wrangling, the ordinance was passed
to its third reading, and the street
and alley committee was instructed to
interview the signers OF the petition
for the 20 foot PARKWAY and see!t they
would agree 10 a 25 foot parking. If
not, an agreement has been reached,
| it is believed, whereby the ordinance
will be passed providing for the
! change on the other streets and ave-
nues but leaving Canadian as it is.
A motion then prevailed for the
reading OF the minutes Of several past
sessions, and the council listened for
an hour OF SO to the reading, il being
nearly midnight when adjournment
was taken. A regular meeting will
he held Tuesday night.

There was a bitter fight at Geary,
however, and Ex-Governor Thomas B

thirtieth ballot. The factional fight
between Flynn and Mcclure was re-
sponsible for the long struggle. Fer
