LEAD PIPE
CINCH BUGS

Chicago, Jan. 22.-(Special)- y
Electrical engineers and fire under
writer's interested in the Union Stock
yards have become alarmed over the
advent of unidentified larvae swarm
ing certain sections of the packing
plants and insisting on feeding upon
the lead pipe insulation felectric
wires. These brown, hairy little wig
Glers, each five-eighths of an inch
long, are moving through the "hoof
houses at the yards, gnawing irreg-
ular patches of lead, often cutting
through the cloth and rubber insu-
the lead pipe insulation of electric
trlc current. Holes an inch long and
half an inch wide have been cut
through one-tenth inch thickness OF
lead pipe.
THE lead pipe cinch bug" is the
subject of minutest studay by
Director Fred ]. Skiff, of the Field
Columbian museum. in whose entom-
ological laboratory this little lead
cater is under observation.
1t is the "hoof" houses at the
yards that the little creature has ap-
peared in millions. Those houses are
for the storage of hoofs that are un-
der way in the process toward glue
manufacture.
In the houses the floors are OF
wood three or four inches thick. Yet
this hairy little worm has honey
eombed them in its search for lead
pipe.
So great have been the ravages
upon the lead insulation that already
new insulations of electric wires are
being conducted in gas pipe protec-
tions. Some of the floors of the
houses are so bored and weakened
that cement will have to take the
place of the wood.

THEY GOT A RAISE
All Telegraph Operators on the Rio
Grande System Get a Nice In
crease in Salaries.-LocaI
Men Are Happy.

1t is announced that after a two
days session with the officials of the
Rio Grande system, in Denver. the
grievance committee of the tele-
graphers of the road have arrived at
an amieable settlement of the ques-
tion of salaries.
As a result the Grand Junction op-
orators throughout the system are
happy this week.
Although the Rio Grande tele-
graphers are receiving on the aver
age better wages than those paid by
other roads in Colorado, the COM
mlttee which went to Denver asked
for n general increase of 10 per cent
affecting all the telegraphers of the
Rio Grande and the Rio Grande
Western.
The railroad was represented at
the conference by General Superin-
tendent A E welby. Superintendent
of Transportation w. a. whitney.
formerly division superintendent in
this city. and Superintendent of Tele-
graph J. NJ. Walker.
Aside from asking the Is per cent
increase the committee asked that
the telegraphers in the future be rec
ognized as train dispatehers. but they
later gave up this request.
Sunday afternoon an agreement
was reached by which they are 10
receive an increase, the raise to be
governed by the amount of business
transacted together with the costs of
living at different points along the
system.
The committee and the railroad
officials will meet again today at
which time the scale of wages for
all the stations of the system will be
arranged.
The settlement is highly satisfac-
tory both to the grievance commit
tee and to the railroad, The Rio
Grande has always based the pay of
telegraphers on the theory that 1t
costs more to live in the west than
the east, and has never drawn the
line on o. r.. T. members. As a re-
suit the telegraphers of this road
are thoroughly organized.
The Rio Grande recently gave a
substantial rise to all chief dispatch
ers and track men, and has made a
number of other concessions which
are beneficial to employees in the
operating department.
Approximately 1000 telegraphers
are affected by the rise which has
been promised.

DELIGHTED THE AUDIENCE
A Strong Production of n Beautiful
Play Under Southern Skies"
at the Park Opera House
Last Night. House
Crowded.

An old favorite paid a return Wis
it to the Park opera house last night.
1t was Lottie Blair Parkers great
suceess, 7UnJer Southern Skies"
Knowing the worth of this produc-
ton, as it appeared here last sea-
son. the amusement lovers were out
in great numbers to witness the per-
formance and as a result the house
was filled to its utmost capacity.
The performance was first class in
every particular, 1t was a beautiful,
worthy and most satisfactory per-
formance and prod ction of the four
act drama that deals with life way
down south in Dixie just after the
war.
There is no question but that the
acting company was much stronger
than last year although there were
not as many people in the ensemble.
Miss Laura Oakman is still playing
Leila Crofton," and she has greatly
improved over last year. She is
pretty, vivacious, charming in her
Oil AhNtil oCuth-
ern girl. She captivated her audience
last night and her efforts brought
forth the very highest approval. Miss
Oakman is a young actress of far
more than ordinary ability.
Next to Miss Oakman the strongest
member of the cast is Miss Anne
Mortimer who wor several years has
taken the part of Aunt Doshey," the
old colored nanny. She is decided
ly one of the best delineators of
the southern negro ever seen on the
local stage and she was absolutely
ideal in her work last night. Millie
Evans is still portraying "Anner Liz
er," the white eyed ebony hued
pickinnie. The laughter she Great
ed could hardly be measured. Miss
Evans has certainly given the char
acter much successful study.
Roy Phillips was very satisfac-
tory Burleigh Mavor while the char
acter of Steve Daubeney was portray
ed in an extremely weak manner.
The two old majors. Daubeney and
Movor, fathers of the boys, were very
good.
The bevy of young ladies, chums of
Lelias were pretty and delightful
in their work. The numerous other
characters were fairly we'll handled.
The stage settings for the four acts
were lovely, and the eostuming, in
keeping with the period, was beauti-
full.
The strong dramatic scenes of the
play were well presented in every
case.
The Halloween party in the sec
ond act was extremely pretty. The
cake walking and singing of the ne
groes were among the jolliest feat
ures of the evening.
Under Southern Skies" is n
strong, a lovable play and its popu-
larity will live through the years.
The big audience last night was
wholly pleased with the performance
by the very capable company.

come so dulled by repeated horrors
nat even the wholesale execution OF
ohnd "Reyolutionaries" exists no ut

n,rIna the past three months over
,5O minor boys and girls have been
ovacuted by the field court martialf

The vast majority of these children

Ten persons were hanged in Riga.

Rudolph Ruman. Humans offense
was that he looked on while a revol-

FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE
THROUGH CASUALTIES

Steps are being taken to establish
a system of compulsory and accu-
rate record of the enormous number
of persons who are annually killed
and injured by accident in this
country. In this connection an ex-
position will be held liz New York
next month under the auspices of
the American Institute of Social
Service for the purpose of exhibit
ing and studying safety devices for
dangerous machinery, methods of
industrial hygiene, and to set in
motion movement to establish ac-
curate records of industrial casual
ties.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president of
the American Institute of Social
Service made some astonishing COM
parsons when he said: eve in
the United States kill in four years
some 80, 600 persons, more than fell
in battle and died of wounds during
the four years of the Civil war.
We are killing more than twice as
many every year as persisted by
violence in both the French and
English armies during the years of
the Crimean war. There are more
killed and wounded on our rail-
roads every year than the entire
losses of the Boer war on both
sides.
1--WE have industrial casualties
enough every year to keep one con-
flict like our war with Spain going
1900 years or IL such wars going
100 years. Our peaceful vocations
cost more lives every two days
than were lost in battle during the
entire Spanish war.

are considered sufficient to sow an
acre. The seed sells for 81 pound,
but it is estimated that in a good
sllfilaria region two men can collect
from forty to fifty bushels of reason
ably clean seed in four days. The
seed is frequently sown on the I'M
plowed ground, the covering being
done by simply narrowing.
The station observed that seeds
stored in sacks in buildings during
the summer months are very low in
termination, and it is advised to
sow them in favorable areas as soon
after collecting as convenient. In
PRODUCTION by seed sowing, how
ever, is apparently slow and
tedious process, and it is believed
that the spread of the plant is more
rapid where it is disseminated by
means of sheep and other similar
grazing animals.
Introduction can be brought about
quickest and with the greatest de-
gree of success in a new locality if a
drove of sheep that have been
grazed in an alfilaria country are
herded over it. Where possible,
they should be allowed to Craze
alternately, first on the one and
then on the other area. Some
/ stocknen even maintain that it is
! only necessary to drive such a herd
of sheep through a country once OF
twice in oder to seed it sufficiently.
Alfilaria combines several of the
essential features which 60 tc
make up a good forage plant, viz,
minute adaptability to environment,
so as to prove successful in compe-
tition with other plants, production
of liberal amount of nutritious
forage, rapid spread over new
country with minimum expense,
and maturation of viable seed:
which may be collected in large
quantity economically

hitherto neglected variety of wheat
and foreign seeds were imported
from countries where it flourished
At the experiment stations in the
different agricultural states the
trained workers secured most sat-
isfactory results from the seeds and
soon hundreds of farmers were SOW
ing macaroni wheat. In many in
stances the yield has been most
amazing, amounting to 90 and even
up to 100 per cent more than ordi-
nary bread wheat.
1t has been proved that it will
produce abundant1y in localities and
seasons where the moisture is in
sufficient for ordinary wheat and
corn. 1t will often command a
much higher price in the market
than the usual varieties, for the de-
mand from the manufacture of
macaroni many times exceeds the
supply of the grain, and, according
to present indications, the demand
will increase very rapidly, for as
the grain is more thoroughly known
it becomes more popular for other
uses. Many people now claim that
1t has great merit as a bread-stuff,
being even superior to the varieties
famous for producing high-grade
! flour.

vor for great success has usually

/ the table of production of the state
for 1905, complied by the state his

million BUSHES of this grain were
grown, adding $500, 600 to the ag-
gregate of new wealth for last year.
Among the sections where it is
extensively grown one of the most
important is Edmunds county,
where some especially fine yields
per acre were reported.
Spelt is another grain which is
becoming popular in Edmunds coun-
ty, as well as in many other sec
tions of the state. Five million
bushels of it were grown in South
Dakota last year, having market
value of ST., $50, 900. 1t is classed
as one of the best paying crops be-
cause of its wonderfully large yields
per acre. The grain was imported
from Russia only a few years ago,
but it has already won a permanent
place among the important products
of the state and its great food value

GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTS
WITH MACAR0Nl WHEAT

Among the many interesting ex-
periments in the growing of new
fruits and grains, made under the
guidance of the federal department
at the South Dakota experimental
station of agriculture, one of the
most important to the agricultural
lists was with maCaroni wheat.
This variety has been known in the
United States for 80 or IS years,
but it was not regarded as having
any special value and no attention
was given to its cultivation.
About six years ago, however,
the department officials became in
terestcd in experiments with this
