Inc matter touched upon in the Sec
oud paragraph of the superintendent
report was referred to the Executive
Committee with power to act, Mr..
Lieberman again interposing objec-
tions, The third paragraph was taken
up and the Superintendent authorized
to arrange for the improvement men
toned. On motion of Mr.. Akers, a
bill is to be started in the City Coun-
ell providing for the appropriation
needed for the erection of fire es-
capes.
Since the sad accident that hap
pened in Cleveland, Ohio few
weeks ago the schools in every ham
let throughout this broad land have
been investigated as to the means of
escape in case of fire. The officials
of Nashville have not been asleep
along this line, and Maj Stahlman
voiced the sentiment of every thinking
citizen in this city when he stated
that fire is likely to happen at any
time. There is one fact, however,
that the whole Board seems to have
overlooked, and that is this, a build
ing that belongs to the city and is
condemned by the city building in
speetor is liable to fall at any time.
A few weeks ago one of our citizens,
who is president of one of the largest
banks in the South, was threatened
with lawsuit by the city officials be
cause he had not torn down a building
that had been condemned This was
small brick building, and while it
may have been in bad condition was
not occupied daily, as is the old death
trap on Grant street, known as
Knowles School. Several hundred
children are housed in this building
five days in every week, and if a fire
should break out it would be almost
miraculous if ten of these children es-
capped unhurt. And yet it stands-the
lives of these children are put in jeop-
ardy every day they stay in this build
ing. But the board has not, as yet,
seen fit to recommend that a new and
modern building be erected to replace
this one. A number of speculators
could keen them until midnight in dis
cussing a free (?) offer to instruct the
| 'llluItu Ill ueuIlSITy, DuJ JHe nuUureu
of helnloss children, who are housed
in building unfit to house fodder,
five days every week could not receive
anv consideration whatever
The Negroes are very much wrought
up over this matter, and several have
said that they would rather put their
children in the pay schools than to
have them daily in danger of being
crushed to death like so many rats
They know they pay taxes for the sup
mort of schools, but that does not
seem to have any weight with the
mowers that be. But they are still
hoping that they will not be compelled
to take their children ont of the pub
lie school on account of the negligence
on the part of the Board of Education
They believe that these men viii
eventually awaken to a sense of duty
and recommend that a new school
house he built to replace old Death

TO FRUIT GROWERS OF BINGHAM
AND FREMONT COUNTIES.

Blackfoot, Idaho, June "a.
Owing to the unreasonable weather
in these counties during the blossom
ing period of the orchards rendering it
impossible to do the calyx spraying at
the proper time, it makes it very neces-
sary that all growers should at once
get at the spraying in order to place
the poison on the fruit and foliage be-
fore the first brood of worms begin to
work.
The state board of horticulture in
their bulletins recommend three differ
ent sprays: paris green. White arsenic,
arsenate of lead OF these the arsenate
of lead is by far the best as it contains
a small per cent of glucose causing
the spray when dry to adhere better
to the fruit and foliage making 1t less
liable to be washed off by showers and
in all actual field work as well as ex-
periments has given the best results
in the larger majority of cases where
used.
FORMULAS lbs. Arsenate Lead to
SO gallons water. Mix arsenate with
little water to make very thin paste.
water and stir occasionally to keep
well mixed.
Thoroughly spray both inside and
outside Of trees from all points to COW
err all leaves and fruit until the spray
drips from the tree as it would with
rain. -
As you no doubt all know that our
state laws prohibit the sale OF wormy
and scaley fruit, each grower should
put his shoulder to the wheel and spray
AT ONCE in order to obtain the great
est returns from the product Of his
orchard.
The time for best work has passed
and only by prompt attention to- the
spraying can the best results be OBJ
tanned. To use popular expression
do it,now." A. r. INGALLS,,

AT THE REUNION.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Porter returned
where they spent ten days at the time
Wednesday morning from Boise
of the G.. A. R. reunion. Mrs. Porter
was not very well when they left, but
was much improved by the trip. They
visited Some of the old neighbors
who moved from here, and George
Worden took them out for delight
full trip into the mountains. Chas.
and Burt Pearce and T. A. Stewart,
who formerly lived across the river,
were visited. The Pearces have a
large tract of Strawberries, and are
selling about seventy-five crates a
day. In one of the shipments Mr..
Porter noticed some consigned to F..
e. DeKay at Blackfoot, and when he
got here, Mr.. DeKay was tying them
up for customers.
J. G. Fisher, w. A. Crawford, Por-
ter Armstrong and c. V. Robinson
and wife also took the trip, but we
did not get to see them when they
got back.
The next meeting will be at Cald-
we'll.

PEONIES AND ROSES.

A visit to the home of our local
nursery man, Mr.. o. F. Smith, is a
delight just now to the lover of flow
ers, especially peonies and roses
which are coming into full bloom. A
few years ago it was thought this
climate was suited to but few varie-
ties of flowers, but the result of Mr.
Smiths experience have proven to
the contrary. Seeing is believing,
and we counted fifteen varieties of
roses in good, thrifty condition, laden
with the greatest profusion of heal
thy buds that are just beginning to
show color. The peonies are out in
big, beautiful, fragrant bloom, in
colors from a cream white to full
rich reds. We also saw honeysuckle
in three or four varieties. Wisteria,
one of the most luxuriant climbers
we have, was proving very successful
though the test had not been carried
far along. Virginia creeper is al
ready a pronounced success and the
only autumn foliage we have that
contains really brilliant colorings. 1t
should find place about every home
for, combined with the soft yellows
of our poplars, it would add much to
the attractiveness of our surround
ings when autumn is upon us and
the frost has touched our big tall
trees gently, as g benediction to sum
mer.
We should also appreciate the fact
that Mr.. Smith has brought these
plants here and acclimated them for
use, for the risk in purchasing them
is not so great when they are propa-
gated in our home climate,

TROUBLE IN MEXICO.

City of Mexico, June 29.-Internal
troubles in Mexico which developed
several days ago along the northern
border now show serious features
Today the storm center is around the
city of Torreon and in the country
between there and Jarral where BAN
dts are operating in conjunction
with insurrectionists and government
troops are rushing to the scene. AL
ready 1900 federal troops have
reached Torreon to reinforce the gar
risOn there, and 200 more have
reached Jurarez and in Chipuahua
soldiers are patrolling the streets
and jails are heavily guarded. Ii is
believed the Mexican government
revolutionary movement if torment
ed by band of agitators who have
long made their headquarters in the
United States. On this ground 1t is
believed Ambassador Creel will ap-
peal to the United States to assist
and apprehend some of the revolu-
tionists, particularly those concerned
in the attack on Las Vegas, where
the government has now gained the
upper hand. Troops are in complete
control of the situation in that city,
and the rebels and bandits have been
driven back to the mountains. A
large force of cavalry has been sent
to the hills on the heels of the fugi-
tives, as the government is deter
mined to make an example.
