INDIA'S WHITE ANTS.
Only One Kind of Wood, Sandal. Car
Withstand Their Attacks.

! Only One MEG CT WOOCy OdHGal' OaH
Withstand Their Attacks.
Insects of various kinds are a peren
NAL plague to Indian dwellers tee
growers and others
The tea bushes il the Assam garden:
have no less than four destructive enc
mics, from which 10 means of escape
has yet been devised by man These
are the bark eating borer the sand
wich caterpillar, the rosquito and the
white ant. all of which attack the bush
and do immense damage
BY far the worst of these plaques Is
the white ant. the mosquito merely at
tacking the leaves and causing blight
The ants, however begin at the roots
and eat upward. reducing the wood to
| powder and leaving only the bark u
support the top, which soon topples
over by reason of its own weight
There is no Indian wood which would
resist the ants insidious attack except
sandal 1t delights in reducing pine
and white wood to a powder 1t can
rot work in the light, but must get at
the wood from some dark recess and
work within a she'll
In some mysterious way the white
ant gets indoors and has a particular
penchant for penetrating into a veneer
ed or lacquered picture frame, and in a
short time nothing will remain but the
veneer or lacquer, nothing else being
left but a small portion of the powder,
the rest being consumed or removed.
The method of attack is by emitting
a kind of acid, which destroys the
wood. And this ant has been known
to bore holes through the sheet iron
bottoms of trunks. Several long, sup
porting jOists in a consular building in
Calcutta were eaten out so completely
that they had to be replaced with
steel ones.
While these destructive white ants
do not seem to possess much literary
taste. they sometimes attack books
and destroy them by boring holes
through leaves and cover from side to
side.
An English resident in an Indian city
had a fine set of upholstered furniture,
which he protected by some covering
as well as he could before leaving his
home for an absence of some months
on business, and when he returned he
sat down in chair, which collapsed
under him like a framework of card.

Duke of Abruzzi to Marry Miss EIkins
in November.

Rome, Sept. 29.-The king of Italy
of the Duke of Abruzzi to Miss Kath-
crime Elkins, daughter of the United
States senator from West Virginia.
The approval of the king came only
after a bitter struggle in both family
and court circles, to which the papers
of Italy added the full weight of their
open and expressed hostility.
The duke will leave Immediately for
America, where the wedding will be
solemnized in November. Plans for
the wedding, in so far as they relate to
the city and Nother details, have not
been made public on this side, but it
is thought that Washington will be the
scene of the ceremony and that it will
eclipse in splendor and state attention
anything ever known in the United
States.
A squadron of italian warships will
meet the bridal party at New York
and will escort the duke and his bride
across the water with regal state.
Here, too, will be an innovation for
American brides who have carried
titles. None have heretofore listened
to the booming of cannon in official
salute as the finale to their wedding
march. But such a chorus, belched
from the guns of the warships, will
mark the departure of the latest belle
of the States to seek a new home in
titled circles

Washington, Sept. 29.-Hope at last
is seemingly justified that the drought
which has prevailed over the entire
Eastern section of the United States
for months Is about TO be broken. Al
though only light rains have fallen
thus far the precipitation has been

While it has not yet been of sufficient
volume to have any marked effect on
the disastrous forest and brush fires
which have been sweeping hundreds
Of thousands of acres, or on water
courses, which have fallen to the low
est points in many years, the prospect
of heavy and continued rains through
out the East is held out by weather
forecasters. If these expectations are
realized the work of the fire fighters
will be relieved, the wheels of many
factories which ceased to turn because
of lack of water power will again be-
come active and farmers, for the first
time in many weeks, will be assured
adequate supplies Of water for their
live stock.

The Pioneer has on many occa-

to note that when they haven't

This IS forcibly illustrated in the
following account of the Fosston-

SEASON FOR PARTRIDGES
OPENS THURSDAY, OCT.
Can Be Legally Killed on that Date.
and Until December Good
Hunting.

There is considerable joy in the
hearts of the local hunters, for
next Thursday the open season for
hunting partridge starts. Unlike
the prairie chicken, the partridge
can be found ri ght here at home.
The woods that skirt Bemidji on
all sides are frequented by this
fine game bird and in the average
year the birds are plentiful.
Men who follow the woods say
that this will be a great year for
cartridges. The spring was dry,
which gave the birds an excellent
chance to hatch their eggs. While
the forest fires may possibly have
caused the birds some worry, the
hunters believe that the little harm
has been more than made up for by
the recent haevy rains.
The law relative to the hunting
of cartridges is the same as that OF
prairie chickens, except as to the
date of the beginning of the open
season. Chickens may be killed be.
ginning with September l, while the
lawful season for shooting part
ridges, does not open until October 1.
You can lawfully kill cartridges
quail, ruffed grouse and pheasant
until December /, as we'll as wild
duck, goose and all other Aquatic
fowl. But the season for killing
turtle dove, snipe, prairie chicken
pinnated, white-breasted or sharp
tailed grouse, woodcock, upland
plover and golden plover closes
November 1, a provision of the law
which is not generally known, even
among hunters.
One days bag for patridges is the
same as chickens, etc., being fifteen
birds, with forty-fve allowed in
possession of a single person at one
time.
License regulations are the
same for all birds and fowls
and one must have license to hunt
outside his own county, and birds OF
fowls cannot be shipped on common
carrier without license tags.

ROOSEVELT REPLIES.
Answers Bryan's Recent Speech on :
Square Deal.

Washington, Sept. 29.-President
Roosevelt has replied to William J.
Bryan's recent speech in which he
maintained that the Democratic party
and platform were not getting square
deal in the campaign.
The presidents reply deals particu-
larly with Mr.. Bryan's assertion that
the administration has been neither
sincere nor effective in the prosecu-
ton of trusts.
Mr.. Roosevelt combats this charge
with characteristic emphasis and sets
forth in detail what has been done I'M
der his direction toward curling the
tendency of capital to control with a
view to destroying competition.
The president also scores Mr.. Bryan
for "insincerity" in making statements
that because men having connections
with large corporations contributed to
the Republican national campaign
fund four years ago and to the Repub-
lican campaign fund in New York
state two years ago Mr.. Roosevelt and
Governor Hughes necessarily must be
believed to have guided their official
conduct with particular consideration
for these contributions
He mentions his own administra-
TONS record and particularly the case
of Hartman and Governor Hughes
unvarying policy of impartiality as
sufficient to show the unfounded ma
ture of any such insinuation.
President Roosevelt again delves
into the career of Governor Haskell,
the deposed treasurer of the Demo
cratic national committee, and also
draws some striking conclusions, far
from complimentary to the Democratic
presidential candidate from a compre-
hensive review and consideration of
the Nebraska mans candidates. and

BOLD ROBBERY AT GRAND
FORKS; THIEF GOT AWAY
Brother of Dr.. Palmer of This City
Lost Considerable Valuable Prop.
erty Yesterday Morning.

The Grand Forks Herald con-
tains the following account of the
daring robbery of a jewelry store in
Grand Forks owned by A. E.
Palmer, brother of DR.. Palmer of
this city:
The jewelry store of A. E.
Palmer was burglarized some time
Monday morning. Mr.. Palmer
estimates that the burglar secured
$500 worth of jewelry. Entrance
was secured through the rear of the
building. A plate glass window was
smashed. Through the opening
made the burglar crawled. He used
a towel and handkerchief to cover
the glass and prevent his being
injured.
A clue was discovered at the
Great Northern depot yesterday
morning when a ring was found
on window ledge. The ring had
been stolen from the Palmer store.
This leads to suspicion that the
plumber was packed at the depot
and the robbers left on the morning
Oriental Limited for the east.
Ten rings and bracelets we're
secured by the burglar. One of the
rings was valued at $11O. The
police believe that only one man
was concerned"
The police of all North Dakota
and the northern part of Minne-
sofa (including BemidjD are work
ing on this case, but there appears
to be no clue whatever to the robber
or robbers, or what disposition was
made of the plumber.
