POULTRY LICE AND MITES.
Practical Methods of Getting Rid the
Vermin.

FURNISHED by the Minnesota Far.
mer's Institutes, st. Anthony Park
St. Paul MINI.
The lice and mites of the poultry
house are entirely different, although
often spoken of as though they were
the same creatures. Both of them
breed in the filth and damp corners
of the houses, so that cleanliness is
the greatest help in getting rid OF
them. The lice are found on the walls,
roosts and nests Of the house, but
spend a great deal of their time on the
fowls. Cleanliness in the house and
thorough whitewashing twice year,
in addition to the furnishing of dust
baths for the fowls and use of insect
powder on settings hens, will, usually
keep the house pretty free from lice.
The little chicks can be treated with a
small amount of lard rubbed on head
and throat and under the wings.
The mites are harder to kill and need
more vigorous treatment. They visit
the fowls only at meal times, making
their raids at night, and then return
ing to their hiding places. Kerosene
emulsion gives the best results in
fighting them. 1t il made as follows:
Shave half pound laundry soap in a
gallon of soft water and boil. Remove
from the fire and while hot mix in
two gallons of kerosene, stirring with
a paddle or churning with force
pump. This will make thick emul-
sion. Use one part of this stock
emulsion to ten parts soft water and
apply to every portion of the house
with a spray pump or whitewash
brush. Give second dose three or
four days later, and still another three
or four days later after the second.
The emulsion will kill every mite and
louise it touches and the second and
third doses will get those that hatch
after the previous applications.
Dirty dropping boards are the great
est breeding places for yermin. Clean
off the boards frequently, especially
during warm weather. After each
cleaning apply air slaked lime, fine
dirt or ashes to the boards. This not
only helps to keep down the vermin,
but will assist materially in removing
the droppings the next time.

Death of Mrs. Christine kron.

| CYRUS Citizen:-M Kron com
pleted her long earthly pilgrimage
yesterday Thursday, Aug. s. at noon
and departed to that perfect Realm OF
JOY and eternal peace beyond to re-
ceive her reward. - ~
The deceased was 81 years, month
and 4 days old at the time of her
death. She was native of Sweden
and married there to A. P. Kron when
IS years of age. She came to Amer
lea 35 years ago with her husband
locating at Holmes City, this state,
where they remained four and half
years when they moved to Morris
and engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness. Five successful years were
spent there when they came to Cyrus
in 1882. She was left widow by the
death of her husband % years ago and
has since had the responsibility of the
home and care of the family. Two
daughters have preceded her to her
Heavenly Home, Mrs. J. S. Thomp-
son in April of 1908, and Mrs. S.
Strandness in April of 1907. She is
survived by two sons P. O. of this
place and J. A. of Banks N. D.. and
six daughters Mrs. FL. E. Olson and
A. L. Hegland of this village, Mrs.
R. A. Sharp of Douglas Chutes, On
tario, Cam, Mrs. Felt of Wild horse
Col, Misses Marie and Emma Kron Of
Billings Mont They were all at her
bedside when she died except Alfred
and Mrs. Felt who could not be here.
Mrs. Kron possesseda a strong con-
stitution and had enjoyed exception
ally good health. Until the last few
years of her life she had hardly
known what it was to be sick; but re
Gently, however, she had experienced
several severe attacks. She was con-
fined to her bed eighteen days pre-
ceding her demise and much of the
time she was quite unconscious. She
was a noble Christian woman of
strong purpose and sterling integrity.
Her life has been one of practical
worth and usefulness. Now that her
family had all grown up men and
women, had been taught to care for
themselves and to respect the high
ideals of right living which she has
set for them, she felt that her life had
been completed and was satisfied and
willing TO depart. With love and
sincere gratitude to all for any per-
sbnal attention however small, she
peacefully left this earthly life with
out struggle.

has directed the chairman to take
steps to begin an active campaign
An official address has been issued to
all members Of the denomination ask
ing for their cooperation.
. The shipment BILL" which has been
pending in congress for at least five
years, does not seek to impose prohibi-
tion on any locality, but provides that
liquor shipped from one state to an
other shall Immediately upon crossing
the boundary become subject to the
laws of the state into which it is CON
signed. ~.s .-....
Speaker Controls Legislation.
"The speaker of the national house
Of representatives," says the address,
absolutely controls its proceedings
He is opposed to this legislation. He
has used the power of his office to
hold 1t in the judiciary committee ap-
pointed by him on the alleged ground
that 1t is unconstitutional. Our church,
by action of the recent general con-
ference, insists that congressional
doubt as to the constitutionality of
such legislation be resolved in the in
forests Of the people and public
morals.
I'VE believe that the time has come
when our people who want to help
secure this legislation must support
for congress candidates who will not
only vote for this measure, If they get
a chance, but will themselves support
for speaker a man who will allow it
to be voted upon and that it's passage
is impossible until Christian voters
recognize this situation and cast their
ballots accordingly" ..

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 14.-Driven
insane by religious mania H. J. Duffy,
sixty years of age, attacked and killed
his son and daughter with an axe and
then cut his own throat with a razor,
infiioting fatal injuries. The tragedy
occurred in the extreme northwestern
part of the city. Duffy lived at the
home of his son, Fred Duffy. He had
been on the verge of violent insanity,
it is said, for weeks. from religious
enthusiasm.
Duffy had attended religious meet
ing and worked himself into frenzy
and he was suddenly seized with a.
desire to kill. Securing a sharp blad
ed axe he stealthily entered the bed
room of his son while the latter lay
asleep. He crept close to the side Of
the bed and, raising the weapon,
brought 1t down with terrific force
across the neck Of the son. The blow,
was delivered with such tremendous
force that the head of the victim was
severed completely from the body.
With maniacal shout Duffy rushed
from the house and down the street,
waving his bloody weapon. Reaching
the house at 451 Northwest Lake ave

sided he opened the front door and

Duffy as he chased her. Mrs. Dufty's
cries finally attracted the attention OF
who came to her aid
Duffy then walked to the street,
where he drew razor from his
pocket and slashed his own throat,
infiicting frightful injuries, which will
doubtless cause his death.
Several weeks ago Duffy went to
the Evergreen cemetery and pur-

BIG ORDER FOR CARS.
hartman Roads in the Market for Six
Thousand. -...


Thousand. -.-.
New York, Aug 14.-The Hartman
roads are in the market for 5000 steel
cars. No order has been placed, but
the car equipment companies have
been notified that this amount repre-
sents the total OF an early purchase
by the Hartman lines and for more
than half of the cars there have been
filed specifications ON which the
equipment companies may base their
bids. Competition between the com
panies is said to be keen, for the
order, If filed, will be altogether the
largest since the panic. -a
The estimated cost Of the 5000 steel
ears ranges all the way from $4,000
900 to $7,O00,0OO. It is expected that
the lower figure will prove nearer cor
rect, for the reason that the competi-
ton between the car equipment COM
panies may result in cut price.

EIephants Hate Canels.

Elephants in Africa have the bitter.
est enmity to camels. When the camel
scents the elephant it stops still, trem-
bles in all it's limbs and utters an in
terrupted cry of terror and alright.
No persuasion, no blows, can induce ii
to rise. It moves its head backward
and forward, and It's whole frame is
shaken with mortal anguish. The ele-
phant, on the contrary, as soon as he
perceives the camel elevates his trunk.
stamps with his feet, and, with his
trunk thrown backward, snorting with
a noise like the sound Of trumpet, he
rushes toward the camel, which with
its neck outstretched and utterly de-
fenseless awaits with the most patient
resignation the approach Of it's enemy.
The elephant, with it's enormous, shape.
less limbs, tramples on the unfortunate
animal in such manner that in few
minutes 1t is scattered around in small
fragments.

WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS
Dutch Minister of Marine Cuts Short
His Vacation.

The Hague, Aug. 14.-The minister
of marine has cut short his summer
holiday and returned here in order to
be on hand should developments in
the Caribbean, growing out of the
difficulty between The Netherlands
and Venezuela, require active naval
action 1t is not expected that the
cruiser Friesland will sail for the
West Indies before the end of this
month. With regard to the cruiser
Utrecht 1t appears that this vessel al
ready had been designated to relieve
the Gelderland on the West Indian
station. Whether or not the Gelder-
hnd returns home on the arrival of
the Utrecht depends on what condi-
lions are at that time.

Success
The following poem, written by
Miss Agnes Kane, of this city, re-
Gently appeared in the Milwaukee
Citizen:
A youth who longed for future great
ness, a..-~-.,
Dreamed of doing deeds of fame,
Of success and great achievements
Adding glory to his name.
From her pinnacle so lofty
Fortune dazzled him with smiles.
Filled him with vain aspirations
And enraptured by her wiles.
Reckoning she led him forward,
Gayly waving, banners bright;
Floating ''Happiness" above him;
But in vain he reached it's height.
Now she pointed smiling coyly,
To the glittering banner "Wealth,"
Which though he sprang quickly to-
ward it
Vanished seemingly by stealth.
But further on enchanting Fortune
Proudly waved the banner "Fame,"
Clutching space instead of Honor
He grew weary of the game.
Bravely now, he turning backward,
Resolved to no more duty shirk;
Happiness and fame, and riches,
We're all found through magic
sWork!'

CAN'T FORCE POLL TAX.
N eW Code OmitS Provisions for Its
Collection I'm Villages.

A item in last Thursdays Pioneer
Press from Mankato says that the
village of Eagle Lake some time ago
levied poll tax of 81. A number OF
the residents refused to pay it or to
work on the highway and arrests were
threatened. The matter was laid be-
fore County Attorney Plymat, and he
informed the village authorities that
they could not collect the tax, as the
revised code had left out part of the
law through mistake. The tax can be
collected by townships, but provision
by which it can be collected by viii
lagos is absent from the law.
The village authorities were not
satisfied, so Mr.. Plymat wrote to the
attorney general for an opinion, and
the latter has replied, holding the
same way, saying:
SIN the absence of the statutory
provisions applicable to villages, pro-
viding for the giving of notices to
work the poll tax, etc., do not see
how you could maintain a prosecu-
tion against one who has refused to
work or commute his poll tax in the
village. A village constitutes
a separate road district, over which
the officers of the town have no con-
troll. While section 727, subdivision
21, provides for the levy and cellec-
ton of a poll tax by village, the
code seems to be defective in not af-
fording any machinery by which the
collection of the tax can be enforced.

THE HINEMON VOTE.

The Hinemon vote in Nevada County is just what the best po- litical observers here predicted. It is just large enough to reduce Donaghey's vote two hundred or more. A strenuous effort has been made all over the state to make the results a little more favorable for Kirby than they are here and thus insure his election, but it seems that Jeff's strenuous efforts have failed Mr. HinemOn was just bull head ed enough not to listen to any body but Hinemon. Now go right along back to your school Professor and don't get politics mixed up with the geography lesson tomorrow. Jeff knew very well that there are thou sands of otherwise Donaghey men in Arkansas who would vote for anybody just so he runs on prohibition ticket, and so he put the bait out for you. and you gra bbed it.
 Now those who voted for Hine- mon, please do not go up and down the streets "bawling out" Jeff Davis any more after help- ing him out all you could in this race. Just keep mum and next time do not wait quite so long to get wise.
