BOIL WEEVIL IN EVIDENCE
Expert Says Pest VIII
BE Active in south This
Season.

BATON ROUGE. La, March 2s-The cot
ton boil weeviil will be unusually active
and destructive this year, according 10 a
report by DR.. w. d. Hunter, in charge Of
the boil weevil investigation for the United
States Department OF Agriculture. He says
the conditions throughout the last winter
have been favorable for the liberation Of
the boil weevii. The two critical conditions
for Information. temperature and dryness
have been as favorable as they probably
ever will be.
The mild winter and spring is having the
effect OF causing an unusually early emer-
gsnce.
The conditions indicate clearly that
weevils will be unusually abundant in the
cotton fields and that great damage is TO
be expected Some conditions that may
occur will have the effect OF counteTacting
the natural result from the present cOndi-
lions. For instance, dry weather during
June and July, after the cotton plants are
well started, viii serve to caeck the insect.

''The new arrangement OF the Burlington

sistant general freight agent Of the Burling-
ton, who returned Thursday from a trip in
the state. 1.-THE road is hauling all the
grain It can get cars for and there is a
big tonnage ahead. Grain 10 not the only
commodity we are hauling, for the live
stock movement is about normal for this

THE Burlington IL more OF corn road

cellent condition, as the corn has not yet
been planted. &, We also had large move
ments of machinery and farm implements,
probably more than a year ago, which Is
also another good token Of prosperity"

about the rate bill which Is now before
the legislature, It is known they are hard

NAN CRUSHED BY ELEVATOR
Thomas MsrSlk, Workman at ArmOuPs,
Found Dead IN PIT
MANNER or ACCIDENT is NOT KNOWN
First Knowledge of Death Comes 60
Light when Car f. Raised
and Reveals Crushed
Form.

Thomas Merzlk, Twenty-third and
streets, came to his death by a supposed
accident at Armour & Co.'S packing plant
Friday morning. He was an elevator con-
ductor and had been employed but short
time. He was found by his fellow work
men under the elevator in the pit Of the
shaft. He came to the plant at opening
time and had unlocked the elevator. Then
II appeared he had gone down a flight OF
stairs and entered the shaft under the
elevator. Il is unknown what his object
was, but It is thought he was attempting
some light repairs. While there In some I'M
accountable way the elevator descended TO
the bottom Of the shaft, forcing him down
and crushing the life out Of him by the
pressure.
There were no witnesses TO the accident
to be found and the only reason for sus-
pecting there was some one under the eie-
vator at the time Of the discovery was the
cable had Stacked.
when the heavy elevator was raised to
the hrst floor the CHASTITY discovery of the
crushed form was made. One of the cross
pieces under the floor caught the man
across the hips and the other had settled
directly on his throat. His chest was fiat
tened and this pressure had forced the blood
into the capillaries of his race until 1t was
turgid and almost black. Around his
throat was the bloodless streak where the
cross-piece had settled. Strangely enough
no bones were broken.
Leaves wife and Son.
The man was an Austrian and leaves a
wife and one son. He also had a brother
His body lies at Brewers undertaking par
lors and an inquest was in progress Friday
afternoon.
The men are somewhat divided as to the
reason for the elevator descending. Either
he may have pulled the rope which handles
the clutch from beneath, expecting to bring
the elevator down so that he might take 1t
from the pit and in 50 doing failed in his
calculation of getting from under it in

whatever about the transaction and had

to be wholly ignorant of the fact that the

Of California has just notified the War de-
partment OF the acceptance Of the invita-
ton to the joint drills and has asked that
provision be made for the participation
Of the hfty-two military companies in the

Assignment of Companies.
The War department has proposed to en-
terrain only thirty-seven companies, at the
outside to be disposed Of as follows:
Six at Fort Rosecrans. six at Fort Miley,
eighteen at Fort Winfield Scott and seven

wrote the governor OF California proposing
that the fifteen additional companies be
eneampsd by the state at its own expense
In the neghborhood of the three posts
named, when they will be given an oppor-
tunity TO take some part in the joint move
ments OF the regulars and the military.
He also sent a similar communication to
the governor of Connecticut, which state
asked him to provide for thirty-nine COM
panies, whereas he had accommodations
for but fourteen companies. The post COM
manders In Connecticut and California w1n
be instructed to prepare programs for the
joint drills that will afford ample employ
ment for the surplus militia companies IL
they care to accept the suggestion to en-
camp near the posts.

formed that. owing to the absence OF army
poSts on the coasG VI Texas, the depart
