ARMY WORMS STILL
HOLD BACK YARDS
ASSAULT With Coal Oil anG
Soda Fails to ROut the
Greenish Pests
MORE THERE THAN EVER

Leucania unipuncta still hold the forts
or rather the yards in the vicinity Of
Ninth and Van Buren, streets. and have
successfully withstood fusllade of soda
and coal oil from distressed enemy For
the aforesaid Leucanm unipuncta is moth
ing more than the scientific name for the
army worm, which has marshallcd IN
forces numbering millions In the yards
Of Nos 9Oi, sos, so5 and has begun an as
sault upon the yard of No. 9O7 Van Buren
street
Marching in regular order, the army
Of worms is progressing by wrggles and
crawls toward Cool Spring Park ana If
tho greenish-hued pests reach that
breathing spot woo betide the grass
plants and trees there.
Dr. Howell There.
Members Of the Board of Health
viewed the situation presented by the
countless worms this morning, and
Or. Harrison w. Howell, the president
decided to experiment by spraying coal
oil upon the pests I'm an effort 20 eN-
terminate them. The board had not
made a formal assault up 10 noon how
ever, and the worms were still In I'M
disputed possession. Some of the
resident cast soda and coal oil upon
the worms this morning. and they had
the effect Of killing those that were
touched by these ingredients, but had
no percepuble effect upon the worms
that escaped the shower of oil and
soda.
Sunny Day Worms.
They are sunny day worms, too, for
they appear to be most numerous when
the sun is hottest Up to ! o'coclS
this morning there were comparatively
few Of the forms TO be seen. but oy
noon they were present in greater
numbers than ever before. They ha1
encroached upon the yard of No. 907
in which there were mono of the worms
yesterday. They burrow up from the
ground. and leave countless little
honeycombs Of earth 10 show from
whence they emerged. They crawl
into the holes as the day becomes
cooler
The visitation OF rats to the Zoo and
worms and bugs about Ninth and Van
Buren streets has inspired a writer
Of The Morning News to pen these
lines:
The rats are in the cages scrapping
with the bears;
They've eaten up the luncheon and in
vaded all the lairs
They gobble up the beef steak as the
coyote family fees.

MESA
MIR. BRUNoAGE AT HOME.

N. A. Brundage returned home yes terday from Colorado. where he has spent nearly a month at Rocky Ford. looking after the interests of H. Woods X Co.. who handle the Mesa and Rocky Ford cantaloupes. The crop of can
 taloupes grown at Rocky Ford this season was very large, and the growers anticipated making a big profit from their sale. Unfortunately. though. the melons got on the market at time when eastern cantalouDes were ready for sale, and the immense quantities offered at the time served to depress the market. and the melon growers of Rocky Ford will be lucky if they come out with an even bank account. MT. Brundage is emphatic in saying that the Colorado cants this year do not begin to compare with those grown in Arizona. The flavor is far inferior

GOOD MAN GONE WRONG.

J. II. Diffenderfer, one of the old time good citizens of Mesa, has dis posed of his forty-acre ranch and will go to Kansas next month with the avowed intention of looking up a loca- ton for permanent adobe.
 In his younger days MT. Offender fer lived in Kansas. He forgets the drouth, the grasshoppers and the hot winds which drove him to flee to this beautiful valley. and only remembers the good times he had there, the many old friends he left behind, and the pleasant associations of his youth. He will not take his family with him, pre- ferring to send for them when he gets located. But it Is probable that he will not locate. His friends believe that the first blizzard that strikes him on the Kansas plains will put a new as- pect on the situation. and that the hallucination that now seems to ob- scure his vision will pass away. They are confident that Mir Diffenderfer Is only loaned to the Sunflower state for a brief time. and that his return can be confidently looked for.

LAST WARRANT SERVED
 ON YOUNG LELfVIfR
No Arrangements Have Vet Been Made for His Removal to Tucson.

The Lelevier matter is now out Of the courts of this county. The ex- pected new warrant for the arrest of Yves G. Lelevier arrived yesterday morning and was served on him at the office of the sheriff. It is uncertain when he will be removed to Tucson. whence the warrant was issued. Un- der the treaty. the government may detain him there for forty days be- fore bringing the case to hearing. and failing there. the same procedure may be entered upon in any other county in the territory. or before any other commissioner.
 AS had been announced. nothing more was done in the matter of the habeas corpus for the release of young Lelevier. That had been resort ed to only for the purpose of holding the young man here until after the trial of his father. but the case against him having been dismissed there was no reason why that phase of the de- fonse should be persisted in.
 The attorney for the Leleviers has stated that if his expenses are paid he will go to Tucson to defend the young man there. asking no other fee than that which has been paid him here for appearing in the case before Commissioner Johnstone.

ANCHORED

(written on receipt of the news of the death of Mahlon F.. Elliott) There are heavy hearts, a mournful
 house.
 In other climes than thine today: For we who loved our brother dear Must grieve alone and far away. We knew he knew the bangs of pain, And knew the full import of I'll. But through Gods mercy, let us hope. He's passed beyond life's thorny hill. Beyond earth, life and mortal woe: Beyond all pain. to realms above; Anchored with Jesus Christ. to be Where all is peace and joy and love. What men call death is naught but
 life
 waiting of the soul away From earthly sin and gloomy night. To dawn again in endless day. Behold. the roses bloom and fade And wither in the sun, and fall: And We who breathe and do and dare Shall fade away and perish all. And thus it is: Though We who live, Shall pass away-by all forgot. Our spirit soul. or foul or fair. Live on for aye and perish not.

HOW Tilt NORTONS
 SPENT THE SUMMER
Delightful Times in Jersey-There are Many Interesting Things to See Be- side the Mosquitoes.

A letter has been received by The Republican from Captain George B. Norton. who. with Mrs. Norton. has been spending the summer in New Jersey The letter was written Sep tember 19, and stated that they would leave at once. for Norfolk. and after looking over the exposition would start west. stopping a few days in San Antonio Texas. to visit Willis Norton and family, formerly of Phoe- nix. They expect to be at home again about october 1st.
 According to the captains letter, they have had a delightful time dur ing their stay in Jersey. They spent a week at Asbury Park and witness ed the annual baby show when 600 fine looking youngsters were placed on exhibition and paraded before 10O.- 900 people. They also heard the noted contralto singer. Madame Shermer Heink in a camp meeting temple which seats 10000 people.
 A trip was also made through the mountainous portions of northern New Jersey in a touring car. the route se- lected running through the old town of Morristown. one of the places vis- ited was the old house used by Gen. eral Washington as headquarters during the winter his army was en- camped on Lake Hopatkong. This is a beautiful body of water seven miles long on the top of a high mountain The lake bed is only partly filled with water: the rest of it is filled with mountain trout. The captain did not say how many he caught.

The new clubhouse of the Colony club of New York, an imposing Col onial structure, costing all told. half million dollars. and architecturally like unto a delightful old New England tavern, is altogether unprecedented in the club woman's world on this side of the Atlantic.
 A temptingiy equipped cuisine Is of fered to satisfy the cosmopolitan tastes of membership of nearly one thou sand woman. who willingly part with the unmatched fees of one hundred and fift- dollars for initiation and one hundred dollars annual dues-to say nothing of the gilt-edged prices for every service after one officially ar rives, so to speak The scene at the door is perpetually animated. From early morn until midnight, crested au- tomobiles turn in at the curb. and the courtly attendant in Colonial livery of blue and buff ushers a constant stream of arrivals in to this delightful retreat says the September Delineator.

ALL THAT IS NEEDED
 IN THE KELVIN COUNTRY
A Shortage of Skilled Labor Alone, Has lessened Activity in Mineral Production.

Kelvin. Sept. 24.-Among the most promising mining camps of the future are the Ray and Kelvin districts.
 While various rumors are heard as to the shutting down of work on the mines. it can be asserted that there is no truth in it. Expenses have been curtailed to a certain extent as all ore shutes and bins are full of milling ore at the mines. pending the completion of the concentrating mill at Kelvin.
 This mill is a scene of great activity. but progress is seemingly slow on ac- count of scarcity of carpenters and mill wrights. If the company could get a sufficiency of help in this line the mill would be running inside of six weeks. This in turn, would mean that more men would be put to work at the mines in order to keep the mill running.
 The narrow gauge railroad from the mines to the mill is now also ready for operation.

VALUE OF KNOWING
 4 GOOD THING.

For a long time we have been talk ing of the importance of seeing things in their relative values. We have been pleading with teachers to note carefully the boys and girls of inher- ent power and give them freedom. We have been crying out against putting a common estimate on children, keep ing them all on the same ground, but there has never come to my knowledge 50 good an illustration as in the case of Professor Walker. of the State Col lege of Washington. at Pullman. The habit of his teaching life and of his business life has been to note differ ences fin value.
 Professor Walker was visiting a man who was breeding a fine strain of white Leghorns for the market.
 What are these birds worth?" said the professor.
 Fifty cents apiece"
 May I pick them?"
 Certainly"
 Well, I'd not be mean enough to pay you 90 cents, but I'd like to pay you s1 each for a dozen" The mans eyes fairly danced for joy. and SO did MT. Walkers. He took them home. got them ready for exhibition and sent them the rounds of the poultry exhi- bitions and count- and state fairs. getting first premiums everywhere and often second and third as we'll. The season ended with a large profit to his credit. and the birds sold then far above the price paid for them.
 To the man of whom he bought them a chicken. even a white Leg horn. was valued by its weight. while to Professor Walker there were twelve birds in that flock with all the mark ings of winners. Oh, when will teach CTS cease to value boys and girls by percentages. worth so much a notch on the scale of percentages.-Ameri- can Primary Teacher.
