Cut Weeds.

The city council has reelected C.
S. Dunbar weed commissioner and
he is on the war path armed and
equipped for the slaughter of nox-
ious weeds. The Commissioner is
in duty bound to notify the owners
and occupants of lands in the city
to cut these noxious weeds on their
premises before they go to seed
Canada thistle, cocklebur, burdock,
sour dock. yellow dock, sow thistle,
wild mustard, teasel, white daisy
and snap dragon. He went by the
garden of the sluggard and saw it
was all grown over with weeds"
These noxious weeds are obnoxious
in proportion to the quality and
insistence of their abomination.
While none of these growing along
the highway recognized by the law
as "noxious" are poisonous, they
are subject to the Introduction of tt e
law because they are in some in
stances a great inconvenience and
in other ways they are detriment
to the growth of useful vegetation.
Weeds are unusually prolific this
season. Some kinds seem to have
tendency to become trees, they
are so vigorous and stalky. Guilt
waited plants are not hardy, and as
consequence they must be Guilt
waited, given the best chance for ex-
pansion. The Spring was cold and
backward. This condition was more
unfavorable for the cultivated,
more tender vegetation than it was
to the hardy and persistent weed.
There are few localities about
here where the white daisy, which
so persisently infested meadows in
the east, grows. These daisies
should be prevented from seeding,
that there may be no further inva-
sion. Canada thistles are rife in
some localities adjoining the city
and the towns in which they are
found should insist upon their be-
ing cut and not seed as the seed is
very light ard blows a long ways,
surely infesting adjoining territory.

The alarm about the damage to
the grain either by the hypothet-
ical green bug or rust-seems to be
unfounded, considering the present
appearance of the stand Very few
stalks in the fields of oats about
here show any damage of conse-
quence. There is some rust, but
not enough at the present time to
intimate that the crop will be short
in consequence.

Over one hundred more students
have been registered in the sum-
mer session of the State University
of Wisconsin this year than last,
the total registration now being
667, whereas there were $50 enrolled
last summer, showing an increase
of III. A part of this increase is
due to the opening of the college of
law to summer students for the
first time this year. Although the
announcement of the sum e r
courses at the law school was not
made until late in the spring, there
were S. young men who entered for
the work, and the same opportunity
will be offered to summer students
next year.

Some of these June and July DAYS

Some of these June and July days
are glorious! The sun shines
through cloudless sky, as blue as
that of Italy. The air is clear and
pure, with ozone that exhilarates
like wine. The southern breezes are
redolent with the breath of roses,
recalling the perfumed memories
of childhood. 1t is Joy TO live, and
breathe.

Injunction Dissolved.

The injunction suit of G. D. Gal
lup, plaintiff, against ]. R, Hender-
son, city treasurer. and F. J. Saw
age, street commissioner, defend
ants, whereby the plaintiff sought
to retain the payment of city
order, was brought before the circuit
court upon affidavits to dissolve the
injunction. A. ]. Kinney of Hud-
son appeared for the plaintiff and
White & Skogmo and Warren P.
Knowles for the defendants. After
consideration Judge Helms entered
an order dissolving the injunction
with the following comment:
Il am Of the opinion that the un-
disputed facts show that the order
mentioned in the complaint has
been paid. | am also satisfied that
aside from the $l25 item for serv-
ices of Alderman Williams there Is
no illegality in the action of the
common council 70 delegate to the
street commissioner the administra-
tive function of paying the employees
of the city, and to vote him funds
for that purpose. That Alderman
Williams rendered services to the
city to the amount of SIPS in good
faith is undisputed.
The plaintiff alleges that he is a
tax payer. What proportion of the
taxes he pays does not appear. The
Court has right to assume that it
is small. In any event the amount
involved is too trivial to put in
operation the ponderous machinery
of Court of Equity"

Green Bug Being Killed.

Reports from other states
throughout the country have come
to the State University of agricul-
ture this week in which it is declar-
ed that the green bug found in the
southwest is no longer of any eco
nomic Importance. Observations
made by Prof. ]. G. Moore of the
University of Wisconsin concerning
the aphis found SO extensively IN
the oat fields reveal the fact that
its insect parasites are rapidly de-
creasing it's numbers. AS yet none
of the specimens sent TO the Exper-
iment Station have been the real
green bug, the toxoptera graminum,
the insect found in the southwest.
The green louise, which is to be
found in Wisconsin fields, is the or
binary cat louise, or aphis, and al
though it is more abundant than US
ual this year, it is not the cause of
the poor oat crop. The poor crop,
as has been previously announced,
is due to grain rust, and not to in
sect pests.

Consider the matter fairly. Here is
the United States government with a

Unearthed a Buried Tree.

About 20 years ago millions of tons
of earth, powders and gravel slid
from the side of Mount Katahdin to
Sourdnahunk Stream, in Maine, a dis
lance of seven miles, and damned the

West Branch lumbermen as Slide
dam.
A repair crew of paper company
recently had occasion to remove a
quantity of gravel from this deposit
At a depth Of ten feet they found the
trunk of a spruce tree bent like a
bow, the top held down by bowlder
weighing many tons. The trunk was
sound, but the bark and foliage had
been removed by the scraping the

Boise, Idaho, July 12.-William ID.
Haywood took oath yesterday, a VT
ness in his own defense, and in a long
narrative of his life and his work as
a leader of his fellOw-miners, that
was interrupted by adjournment, de-
MED guilt of the murder of Frank
Steunenberg and the manifold crimes
charged against him by Harry Or
chard. Haywood was pale and tiem-
bled with nervousness when he left
the table of his counsel and walked
around to the elevated witness stan |
where he faced the judge and jury
and raised his right hand to be sworn.
When he began to respond TO Clar-
ence Darrow's questions his voice was
low and somewhat uncertain. but
within ten minutes he had regained
his cOmposure.
HaywoOd's Wife SObs Softly. >
AS he told Of his boyhood that be-
gan with toll at the age of 8 and gave
the history of his family his invalid
wife, who sat just to the left of the
witness stand, began sobbing softly.
Her mother-in-law and her nurse soon
comforted her, however, and during
the rest of the afternoon she and the
rest Of Haywood's kinsfolk remained
quiet but deeply concerned auditors.
Testimony a Continued Denial.
Haywood's testimony was chiefly
characterized by positive denials of
n nv
the prosecution. He denied that h
met Orchard until some time after
the Vind;catOr explosion; denied that
he sent Orchard back to Cripple Creek
to blow up the Independence mine;
denied participation in the Lyle Greg
ory murder. and denied suggesting Or
discussing the Steunenberg murder. He
swOre that he never gave Orchard
any money. at any time or place, for
any purpose. He declared that he
never made a threat against Steunen-
berg, whom he said he regarded only
as he did any politician who was be-
ing swayed by capital influence.
Tells of Meeting Orchard.
He told of a number of occasions
when he met Orchard in Denver Ill
the ordinary course of his relations
with the Federation and George A.
Pettibone, and said he saw Orchard
for the last time in August. 1907,
when Orchard told him he was g ing
to Alaska and Haywood said he
chided him for deserving his wife at
Cripple Creek. The direct eXamina-
ton had not reached the connection
Of Jack Simpkins and the action of
the Federation after Steunenberg was
murdered when adjournment inter
rupted It. -.-.
Wanted SIeunenberg "Relegated."
The witness was asked If he ever
said to any one as has been testified
that Governor Steunenberg should be
exterminated. mo, sir" he replied.
"I think what l said was that he
should be relegated, and l took
hand in RELOCATING him."

ORCHARDS HEAVY ARTILLERY
Gun He Carried as Meyers Guard
Haywood a Scrapper.

Haywood a Scrapper.
Haywood corroborated what Meyer
had testified to as to the circumstances
of Orchard accompanying the preSi-
dent of the Federation to Ouray, Col.
when Meyer asked Orchard if he
had any firearms" said Haywood,
"Orchard unbuttoned his vest. reached
way down in his belt and pulled a
45-caliber six-shoOter. 1t must have
been a foot and a half long. l asked
him what he was going to do with
that thing. He said he would take 1T
TO Ouray. ] said, DO you think those
fellows down there are going to wait
till you undress yourself to get that
gum"
Haywood told of Meyers return
from Ouray to Denver, in 1904. in Gus
tody of a detachment of militia. Hay
wood was himself a prisoner in the
custody Of an officer. Haywood, at
his own request, was allowed to meet
Mover at the station. The witness
told how he had just greeted Meyer at
the depot when General Bulkely Wells
interfered and Haywood struck Wells.
''what happened then" 'The soldiers
set upon me and I got much the wo st
of it" Haywood was then taken to
the Oxford hotel, he said, and there
one of the soldiers pulled a siX-shoOter
on him. Haywood struck the soldier,
and then another row occurred. in
which Haywood was roughly handled.
The state completed the cross-exam-
ination Of Meyer at noon, and in deal
ing with his testimony directed its
strongest attack against the circum-
stances under which the Federation,
at the suggestion OF Jack Simpkins,
came to the relief OF Orchard when
he was arrested for killing Steunen-
berg. Senator Borah, who conducted
the examination, emphasized the con-
nection Of Jack Simpkins and the
Federation, and the fact that the Fed
Grafton without inquiry as to the guilt
or innocence Of Orchard gave $500
from its treasury to provide for his
defense. He also developed the fact
