An Old Settler Gone. An Honorable
Man, Kind Father and a Good
Neighb0r. Died Tuesday.

ship was one Of NATURES noblemep,-
h' ne 1t and true to his nelghbors and
friends alike, aud ODE dent to the laws
of man and God,-being blessed with
most rugged constitution he babe
fair to live to a good old age.
While hauling straw on his farm q
few weeks ago, his wagon in some
manner became unbalanced near the
raw pile, which threw him off and
broke one Of his legs. The member
was carefully set and Mr.. Huffman
was reported to be doing we'll.
The sad news of his demise came
Tuesday. His condition seemed to
nave suddenly changed for the worse
and he died before help reached him.
MIR. F. P. Huffman will ever be re.
membered by his many friends, he
beirg in life a consistent member of
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
Knights of P ythias and Independent
Order of Red Men. His remains were
uttered in the Lincoln Center ceme-

performed, is, as we have shown
above, peculiarly favorable to the de-
velopment of the insect Two carpet
cleanings would be better than one,
and if but one, it would be better to
undertake 1t in midsummer than at
any other time of the year.
Where convenience or conservatism
demands an adherence to the old
house-cleaning custom, however, we
have simply to insist upon extreme
thoroughness and a slight variation in
the customary methods. The rooms
should be attended to one or two at
time. The carpets should be taken
up, thoroughly beaten, and sprayed
out-ofdoors with benzine, and al
lowed to air for several hours. The
rooms themselves should be thorough
ly swept and busted, the floors washed
down with hot water, the cracks care
fully cleaned out, and kerosene or
benzine poured into the cracks and
sprayed under the baseboards. The
extreme infammability of benzine,
and even of it's vaper when confined,
should be remembered and fire care
fully guarded against.
Where the floors are poorly con-
structed and the cracks are wide, it
will be good idea to fill the cracks
with plaster of Paris in a liquid state;
this will afterward set and lessen the
number of haEsoring places for the
insect. Before relaying the carpet,
tarred roofing paper should be laid
upon the floor, at least around the
edges, but preferably over the entire
surface; and when the carpet is re-
laid it will be we'll to tack it down
rather lightly, so that it can be occa-
sionally lifted at the edges and ex-
amined for the presence of the in
sect. Later in the season, if such an
examination shows the insect to have
made it's appearance, good though
somewhat laborious remedy consists
in laying a damp cloth smoothly over
the suspected spot of the carpet and
ironing it with hot iron. The
steam thus generated will pass
through the carpet and kill the insects
Immediately beneath it.

THE BUFFALO MOTH.
Something of the Habits of This Pest
and How to Fight 1t.

The carpet beetle Gotten called the
Buffalo moth") has proved to be a
very annoying and destructive pest
throughout the northern part of the
United States. 1t was imported into
this country from Europe, about the
year 1874, and has spread from the
east to the west.
All the year, but more often in
summer and fall, an active brown
larva about a quarter of an inch in
length feeds upon carpets and wooden
goods. This lar<a is decorated with
stiff brown hairs, which are longer
around the sides and still longer at
the ends than on the back. 1t works
in hidden manner from the under
surface of carpet; sometimes MAX
ing irregular holes, says L. o. Howard,
government entomologist; but more
frequently following the line of a floor
crack and thus cutting long Sits in
the carpet
The adult insect is minute, broad
oval beetle, about three-sixteenths of
an inch long, black in color, but is
covered with exceedingly minute
scales, which give it marbled black
and white appearance. 1t also has a
red stripe down the middle of the
back, widening into projections at
three intervals. When disturbed it
plays 'possum," folding up it's legs
and antennae and feigning death.
Prof. j. B. Smith says: The Buffalo
moth lives during the winter under
scales of bark, in crevices and wher
ever else it can find shelter. 1t is the
beetle that lives over, of course, and
in the spring it congregates some
times in great numbers on blossoms
favoring those in gardens, and from
them it finds its way into houses near
by. do not think that l have ever
found larva in houses under ordinary
circumstances in winter; but | an
quite ready to believe that in places
kept uniformly warm at all times
breeding may go on in winter as vel
as in summer.
We believe that only where carpets
are extensively used are the condi
tons favorable for the great increase
of the insect Carpets when once pu1
down are seldom taken up for a year

NEW PRESS
The Fontanelle Observer came out in
a Brand New Suit Last Week.
Good for Mac.

The Fontanelle Observer, owned
and controlled by w. Fl. Mcclure who
along back in 1886 and Y was the edi-
tor of the Audubon Republican, in
stalled Babcock Reliance press with
a gasoline power engine in his Office
at Fontanelle last week.
The changed appearance of the pa
per indicated that something out of
the ordinary had happened in his
office. We can imagine the satisfac-
ton that Mac will get from the
change. 1t is meritorious reward
for years OF constant annoyance and
worry, but buoyed up with courage,
with HOPE as silver lining, and all
made possible by an approaching
public.

and in the meantime the insect de-
velops uninterruptedly. Where pol
ished floors and rugs are used, the
pest ceases to be serious one.
The beetles are day-fiers, and when
not engaged in egg-laying are attract
ed to the light. They fly to the Win
dows, and may often be found upon
the sills or panes. Where they can
fly out through an open window they
do so, and are strongly attracted to
the flowers of certain plants, particu.
larly the spiraea.
Remedies: There is no easy way to
keep the carpet beetle in check, says
Farm Journal. When it has once
taken possession of a house nothing
but the most thorough and long-con.
tinued measures will eradicate it.
The practice of annual carpet-clean.

An Urban Cinderella.

The teacher had been reading a
story of Cinderella to her class of
youngsters and was now going over
the story again with them to fix it in
their minds. Among other questions
which she asked them was why it was
necessary for Cinderella to leave every
night early enough to be home by 70
o'clock
From various members of the class
she elected most of the reasons which
are implied in the story until finally
all remained silent
Isn't there any other reason?" she
asked. Cant any of you think of an
other?"
Up shot Larry's soiled chubby paw.
in frantic eagerness to indicate his
knowledge.
That's good. Larry. What is the
reason?"
"She had to ketch the last car"

THE ENJoINED OBEDIENCE.

On the sixth day OF December, 1900,
the Deseret News published an address
which was delivered In the tabernacle
by the president of its church. One
sentence Of this sermon is of direct and
absorbing interest, in that it brands as
being utterly false the deeeitful hier-
archical assertion that the church does
not Interfere in the politics of this
State. Here is the sentence;
The question with me Is
when ] get the word OF the Lord as TO
who is the right man mar lspeakiing ea. OF & p9-
ter If IL does come contrary to my con-
victions?
In that utterance, Joseph +. Smith
was preparing the minds of the saints
to receive the usual political instruc-
ton He was perfectly aware of the
weight which would attach to his sug-
gestion. Ever so gentle as the hint
may appear TO be, and although it
seems rather to present question than
conclusion, the prophet knew that the
sympathetic Mormon soul would be able
to grasp its distinct meaning-and
promptly vote in accordance.
But the church organ may again ac-
cuse The Tribune of going back into
ancient history for proof, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the sermon containing
that remark was printed in the News
less than seven years ago However
to approach little nearer to the pres
ent time, it may be just as well to
quote from an address delivered by the
late Apostle Brigham Young, Jr,, in
1901, at the Logan tabernacle, where
in he says:
II man should. offer me a bribe tc
vote for him I should be inclined not &c
! vote for him unless directed SO to do by
| the prophet of the Lord,
SO in this instance the speaker
seemed to imagine that under instruc
tion from the supposed mouthpiece OF
the Almighty he would be justified il
not only voting for the bribe-giver, but
also in accepting the bribe. And there
in lies the sin of the priesthood agains
the State in this matter of politics
The domination is go complete tina
"the word Of the Lord" as it is bias
