THE COMMON
HOUSE FLY
A Dangerous Pest.

(By A. L. Melander, Entomologist.
The commOnest insect to be found
in houses throughout the country is
the house fly. 1t outnumbers many
times over all other insects found in
our homes. Its commonness causes
us to overlook its presence, or too
often we accept it as necessary
matter of course, or at most as
slight nuisance, and make no endca-
vor to free our selves of its presence.
Were the habits of the insect known
much ado would be made whenever
the disgusting fly is found in our
homes.
The ordinary flies with which we
are familiar have not always existed
in that form. Flies are the adult
stage of maggots, and between the
maggot stage and the adult stage
there is a pppa stage, time when
the insect is motionless and helpless.
Maggots hatch in few hours from
eggs laid by the adult house fly. A
single fly lays on an average one hun
dred and twenty eggs. The dura-
ton of the maggot stage is about
five days. The pupa stage lasts five
days more, at the end of which the
pupa becomes the mature fly Ac-
cordingly in ten days a complete
generation Of house flies may have
beer born, raised. and have begun
laying the eggs for another genera
ten. Because of the short duration
OF the life cycle from ten to four
teen generations are produced in the
course of a single summer.
Rut very few house flies survive
the winter, and almost all of them
say in our houses during the colo

Band Will Hold Dance.

On Wednesday OF tnfs week the
members of the Wenatchee Military
band will give dance at the thea
ire. The band has given some delight
full concerts this year, for which they
have received no recompeuse, the
money furnished by the city not even
being sufficient to btstffe nt-to-date
music for these concerts. The boys
have worked hard and deserve Hiuch
credit for what they have done CSH-
sidering the time they are obliged %
put in rehearsing and their time at
the public concerts, to say nothing of
the pleasure which they give to the
people at large, the band deserves to
be supported in an undertaking like
this dance
This method is used rather than re-
sorting to subscription list for the
maintenance of the band.
So, let everybody push it along.

Dy strong vote it was decided to
accept the invitation of the CONNER
cial club of Leavenworth to spend
the Fourth of July at the latter place
A good celebration was held last
year In Wenatchee, and it was the
feeling of large number of those
present that this year should be given

probable that this organization will
furnish the music for the occasion.
The Catholic School.

institution.

THERE is MONEY TO BORN.
Greenville Bankers Burn $148, 900
Worth of,tPanic Money"
(Greenville News, 18th. 5

Having served the purpose for
which they were issued, and the con-
dition of the local banks being such
that they are no longer needed,
S148,000 worth of clearing house
certificates were yesterday afternoon
burned TO ashes in this city. The
burning took place in the boiler
room OF the Huguenot Cotton Mills.
the paper which had once passed as
money being tossed into the two
big furnaces by frank Hammond,
president of the Peoples Bank, and
III. p. McGee,. president of the City
National Bank, both of whom are
members OF the executive committee
of the Greenville CLEARING House
Association. s%
" Alta rcent meeting of the associa-
tion 1t was decided to destroy all OF
the certificates on hand. They were
carefully counted, and 1t was found
that out of $75,30O worth issued
there was on hand about $TS,60O
worth; These, with the $4,000
Worth that were not issued, made a
total of S148,600. and the executive
committee was authorized to burn
the whole amount at once.
There was no ceremony connected
with the passing of the certificates
The paper was packed into two boxes
and taken to the boiler room of the
mill, and there, In the presence of
two witnesses, they were thrown into
the, fiery furnace by Hammond and
McGee,< a package at a time. Each
package contained from $40 to 500
and II took several minutes to burn
them all up. When the box contain
ing the unissued certificates was
reached, twelve certificates of each
denomination were taken out to be
distributed among the banks of the
city. These certificate, will be kept
as a souvenir OF the panic of 1a07.
There are something over $1,000
worth Of certificates still in circula-
tion, and 1t may be many months. It
not years, before the entire issue
IS destroyed. Many people are keep
ing them for souvenirs, and 1t Ia
possible that the entire issue will
never be entirely destroyed. AS fast
as the paper is collected, however, 1t
will be destroyed.

WANTS TO BE COUNTY SEAT.
Williamson to Try Again for the
Formation of New County.
(Greenville News, 18th. }

1t is stated on good authority that
within the next few weeks O. move

q new county out of portions of AMI
derson and Greenvilie counties, the
court house to be located atWilliams-
ton. This movement will, of course,
be launched at Williamson, for If
the movement should prove success
full that place would prove to be the
gamer.
Wiliiamston has long had an am
bition to be county seat, and as
far back as "" years ago made an
effort toward mat end. Then, how
ever, It did not prove successful, for
when the election was held the new
county proposition was voted down
by an overwhelming majority. Since
that time no effort has been made
to have an election ordered, but the
citizens of the live little town have
