SALIVA HAS NEW PLAGUE.
Eating Ants Are Gnawing at Foun-
datiOns of Residents Homes.


datiOns of Residents Homes.
Salina, Kan, Sept. 25.-Workmen
are busy at the old a NJ. Clafin house,
just east of the Metropolitan hotel on
Ash street, hastily making repairs to
the foundation.
There is a necessity for rushing this
work for one of the most dreaded of
pests has suddenly appeared Eat
ing ants are working there and the
workmen are repairing the foundation
to keep them out
These ants eat right through an
ordinary foundation and once in the
house they make short work of wood
work. 1t is said it has been a long
time since these pests have last ap-
peared in the city.
The ants have already ruined much
of the woodwork which will have to
be replaced as soon sthe repairs to
the foundation are made.
The workmen are scraping out ce-
ment and rock and are putting in
large pieces of zinc. It is said that this
is one material which the "eating
ants can not get through. This zinc
will be placed in such way as to pre-
vent the ants from getting into the
house.
In Central America and southern
countries there are some ants that eat
steel rails and are a dreaded pest to
the railroads. Fortunately no ants of
this kind are this far north.

them with their signal practice, that
creditable showing against any and

urally, the burden of such a reputation
rests heavily upon the shoulders of the
manager
1t is the case in all colleges that
some years bring radical changes. st.
Mary'S experienced such q change this
year when Fox, Dockery, Cleary, Beak-

the managers job did not seem likely
to bring many laurels. Whether Pryor

He attended to his duties well and Sc
cured a good schedule.
Now the outlook Is more promising.
With barely two weeks of practice,
Quigley has a team which will he able
to handle the schedule, and Pryor's
part has taken on a more cheerful
aspect. There is every hope that the
Topeka lad will easily outclass the
long line of successes which has gone
before him. At any rate, he has start
ed right. There are games on the list
with K. u, Washburn, Doane, and
Haskell. His work, to a large extent,
still lies before him. The matter of
finances and like difficulties will prob
ably perplex him but he is a business
man and a good start is a large item,
no matter what comes.

THOSE LANDS IN FLORIDA.
Inducements offered to Buyers by the
Topeka Company.

The Florida Developing Co., located
in room No. L Mulvane building, is
selling land in and around the town
Of Davenport. Florida.
The company is composed of in
1uential men from Georgia and
Florida and the land is being sold in
five acre tracts which are suitable for
truck farming, orange groves, etc.
They have numerous photographs
which show the wonderful crop
growing nature Of the land. The
fact that the land is all located below
the frost line is a great feature in that
crops may be grown in rotation all
the year round. There Is a great de-
mand for the products raised and the
fact that vegetables. etc. can be
raised in winter the same as in the
summer makes the proposition bet
ter. The main line OF the Atlantic
Air Line railroad runs diagonally
through the entire tract OF land and
affords quick connection with Balti-
more and other large northern cities
which are great markets for the
produce raised.
Beside the great fertility of the
land, the lakes are filed with numer-
Gus kinds Of fish and In the timber
lands game can be found in
quantities. Considering the terms OF
purchase, location OF the land, the
fertility of 1t and the opportunities
and pleasures which can be had
there, the proposition on the whole
appears to be a good one to take adj
vantage of.

SHIPMENTS ARE HEAVY.
Demand for Staples a Feature of the
Trade Situation.

New York, Sept 25.-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade conditions in favorable pro-
portions, demand for all staple lines
being a noteworthy feature, though
there is a tone of conservatism in
and in many instances buyers are re-
questing prompt deliveries. Business
on spring account is also of good vol
ume. Retail trade is getting into bet
ter shape at many centers, but warm
weather has retarded It's fullest devel-
opment. Commodities prices both for
raw materials and edibles are gener-
ally very firm, and the high prices
that manufacturers have to pay for
such raw products as cotton and wool,
together with a certain degree of un-
settlement resulting therefrom, make
them careful about booking future
orders.
Industrial lines are still increasing
outputs and activity is at or approach
ing normal.

Leavenworth, Kan. Sept. 25.-Miss
Cora Bickell, living in this city, has
filed suit here against Clarence w.
Higgs, agent of a Kansas City packing
house, to recover $4,000 damages.
She alleges that Higgs started court
ing her in 1902 and three years after
they became engaged, that a couple of
months ago he wrote her the engege-
ment was broken. She alleges that
when she met Higgs in a livery stable
here and reminded him of the engage

She asks $4,000 for breach of
promise, and other mistreatment and
$4,000 damages for the whipping her
lover gave to her. Higgs has lived

Mr. Pryor entered the preparatory
here in 1904. and since then, has en-
joyed an enviable popularity. While
he has never held aloft from any out
door sport, he has shown a preference
for base ball. He will probably be
on the pitching staff of Quigley's next
selection. In basket ball, he played a
forward on the 10 class team, and was
no small factor in the fight they put up
for the inter-class championship. In
short, he has fitted himself to see the
athletic from an athletics point of
view, and on this account, should prove
a valuable acquisition to the board of
directors.
