Lexington, Ky, June 27.-An-
nouncement was made here today
by w. G. Frost, president of Be-
rea college, that the entire amount
of 100000 to build the Lincoln
institute, the proposed industrial
and normal training school for
Negroes. had been pledged and
that work on the new buildings
phould shortly begin. 1t was on
ly necessary for the officials of
Berea college to raise $4,000, as
$350,OO0 was pledged by Mrs. Rus
sell Sage, Andrew Carnegie and
others, provided Kentuckians
would pledge the remainder.
When it was practically an assur-
ed fact that the money would be
forthcoming, agents representing
the new school set about to find a
site, and recently a tract of 60C
acres was purchased in Shelby
county. The new school will be
run in connection with Berea col
lege.

George Walker, of Williams and

resort from Lakewood, N. j., to
Mt. Clemens, Mich. Every one
hopes for the better. He is i'm

he will be able to appear this

DENVER, COLORADO,

let out the yell against the Negro
here. The report of the coming of
soldier, its echo was heard away up
the Negro soldier to Fort Russell
brought forth tears, groans, pro
tests and much clap trap from a
certain class of white, and was a
source of anticipated pleasure
among our people. 1t was openly
announced that many public places
would be closed to them. But our
boys have come back to Fort Rus
sell, they have been seen, and as
they always do, have conquered
their most rabid detractors and
foes. Their conduct has been
above reproach. They appear a
magnificent body of well trained
and disciplined gentlemen. Much
credit is due Chaplain Prioleau for
this work He has been an always
conscientious worker and he has
been helped by body of earnest
soldiers who believe in their mal l.
hood and desire to honor their races
and defend their country. May
their stay at Fort Russell be a sea-
son of pleasure
Last week saw the social side of
Cheyenne appear at its best. The
many good people land we mean
both races) turned out to welcome
and entertain the Colorado Fedora
tion of Colored Women s Clubs in
their sixth annual convention
There were forty-six delegates pres
ent when Madam l.. NJ. Froman of
Denver raped for order. 1t is
matter of regret that we cannot
give in full the doings of this body
of highly intelligent and cultured
ladies. Governor Brooks delivered
the address of welcome and com
plimented the thrifty Negroes of
the West and expressed great plea
sure in being privileged to meet so
many good and true women. He
said: ga race with such noble and
brilliant women cannot be kept
down. 1t was an address full of
encouragement, and reused the en-
thusiasm of all. But this earnest
band of women soon got down to
work and the various papers and
reports were replete with good sug-
gestions for the "lifting as we
climb. The President and all the
officers were conscientious in the
discharge of their duties. This un-
doubtedly marks a red letter year
for the Colorado Colored Women s
Clubs.
The visiting guests were treated
to a sumptuous banquet at the
Searchlight Club and an automo-
bile drive about the city. Many
very complimentary expressions
were heard among the visitors on
the cordial hospitality of Cheyenne
people
The convention closed with the
reelection of all the old officers
a deserved compliment. REX.

The turmoil that has character
lied Lincoln Institute, Mo. has
been practically closed by the re-
appointment of President B. F
Allen until his successor is ap-
pointed and qualified. Along
with Prof. Allen eight of his fac
ulty is dropped and it seems to be
the opinion of many that the
much needed house cleaning at
Lincoln will mean great boost

New York, June 29.-Joe Cans
is not dying of consumption, as
has been reported. His wife wired
from Baltimore denying the story
from the coast, which said that
she had written two letters to Will
lie Keefe saying that Joe was very
low and had not long to live!
Keefe is the man who trained with
Cans for many of his important
battles, and he claimed to have re-
ceived a letter from Mrs. Cans
saying that Joe was coughing a
great deal and could not hold out
much longer. Later she is said
to have wired that Joe was in a
critical condition.

The decided improvement in
the telephone service from this
Exchange is so noticeable as to
be remarked, and which is due
to the splendid, intelligent and
incessant labor of Mgr. Moshier
on the several cables in town,
in some of which he found more
or less water, due to leaks, where
necessarily short-circuited many
wires and interfered seriously with
the service. Mgr. Moshier has
worked hard since assuming charge
of this Exchange and the i'm
proved service is creditable to his
tireless efforts, in which he is due
the appreciation of the patrons
at least.

Mr.. J. G.. Barnett, special
agent of the Farmers Co-opera-
tion Work, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, in Northeast Louis
lana, was a visitor to this section
recently and expressed great sat-
isfaction at the condition of crops
in this parish and the unusual
scarcity of boil weevils. Mr.. Bar
nett believes the crisis is practi-
cally passed as to damage from
boil weevil in this section, due
to the extreme measures directed
toward the determination of the
pest that have been so rigidly en-
forced, and he feels almost san.
guine that the infestation next
year will be decidedly less than
experienced this season, and un.
less relaxation of effort along these
lines is permitted two or three
years hence the weevil will be 6
thing of the past, and will hav,
proved a blessing in disguise by
enforcing upon us the adoption
of the intensive cultural methods
hitherto unpractised here, togeth
er with Investigation and hom
living, so essential to success il
farming.

The State Crop Pest Commission has
just completed series Of experiments at
Mansura, Avoyelles Parish, in studying
the alternating habits of the boil weevil.
The results of these experiments are real
ly startling in their importance, for they
point the way to successful warfare against
the weevil with unerring accuracy.
One of the objects Of the experimental
work at Mansurs was to find out how
many Of the boil weevils could be gotten
rid Of by destroying the cotton plants at
different times in the fall. To secure this
information cages were made Of wire
cloth, each cage being SIS feet and 6 feet
high. In these cages were placed piles
of trash, leaves, moss, stumps, etc., to
form winter quarters for the boil weevils
such as they would find out-of-doon.
On September %, 1908, q lot Of live
and active adult boil weevils were gath
cred in a nearby cotton field and placed
in one of these cages and the cage secure
ly locked. No growing cotton was in any
of the cages. Thus these weevils were de-
prived of all food from then on. Had the
cotton plants in the field been destroyed
on September 18th the weevils there
would likewise have been deprived oil
food. Therefore the number of weevill
living through the winter in the cage
must have been the same a. the number
living through the winter in the fields
where the cotton plants were destroyed
on September 18th. If anything condi.
tons would favor slightly larger mum.
Der surviving in the cage than in the
field, for in the cage the weevils wert
protected from birds, mice, 'punkies, 81
etc. A cage of this kind was started onct
a week, from September % to December
81, 1908, with freshly collected weevill
from the cotton field. The past spring
(19O9) the cages were watched every day
and as the weevil came out of the trash
they were counted, recorded, then re
moved from the cages. In this way {
complete record was obtained Of the mum
Der of weevils living through the wintel
in each of the cages. Following are th.
results:
Out of 1857 adult weevils collected in
the fields on September %, 1908, % livet
lived through the winter. OF 1,195 gath
cred In the field on October 9Th, Is lived
until spring. OF 1,l32 weevils collected
October Il, 81 lived through the winter
Adding together these figures We see thai
out Of total of 1884 weevils collected
in the cotton fields between September
18th and October 18th, only los, or 3. ]
per cent, succeeded in living through the
winter. This simply meant that on the
plantations where the cotton plants wers
destroyed before October Is, 1905, only
