Electricity Kills Bugs.

Electricity has been introduced in
the Spokane fruit district to kill bug
pests that annoy fruit growers. The
plan is unique. The apparatus con-
slsts of a storage battery to charge
incandescent light globes, each OF six
candle power. which are netted with
fine steel wire. coated with copper
and tin. alternately. Attracted by
the bright lights in the trees, to
which the globes are carried at the
ends OF covered wire, the insects
fly against the netting, complete the
electric circuit and are killed, the
bodies falling into receptacle plac-
ed beneath the globe. 1t is estimat-
ed that one battery to an acre OF
trees will keep the insects under con-
troll, thus eliminating the usual
spraying and saving many dollars an
nually for help. equipment and fluid

Drag the Roads Today.

We wonder how many roads In
Winneshiek county are being drag
ged today. We wonder how many
township trustees are obeying the
law today, and seeing to it that the
roads are dragged. We wonder II
these same township trustees know
that they are liable to indictment by
the grand jury II they don't do 1t.
We will wager a rusty nail against
a fish hook that nine out of ten OF
the men in Winneshiek county en-
gagged to drag roads (what few there
are OF them) will wait until the
roads are altogether too dry to drag,
and then skim over them, just as
they did last week, three or four
days after the rain, when the roads
were dry. Now is the time to drag.
when the roads are wet, running wet
with water, not when they are nearly
dry and gummy. You don't believe
it? Just try 1t once, and you WIN
find that we are right. A few times
over wet roads like they are today
will make your dirt roads so hard
and dry, so solid and so well crewn-
ed that water will never stay In the
road again. II you drag them rssu'
larly. .s s De.s ia &.

PEACE OvERTUREs ARE MADE.
Germany Heads Movement to Secure
settlement of Dispute Over
TripOli and Cessation
of War.

Italy finally declared war on Tur.
key Friday afternoon, after the ex.
piration of the time set by the Ital-
Ian ultimatum to Turkey, and fol.
lowing a session of the Italian cab
met at which the reply sent by Tur-
key was considered and found un-
satisfactory.
Though every indication pointed
to this action by the royal govern
ment there was always a possibility
that the good Offices of other govern
ments would be successful in avoid.
ing hostilities and when the final
decision of the cabinet was announc-
ed the excitement was intense.
The minister of foreign affairs,
Signor Dia San Giuliano, received
the Turkish reply from the Turkish
ambassador. and Immediately went
into conference with his associates
In the ministry. II is understood
that the Ottoman government COM
pletely conceded Italy's economic
claims in Tripoli. but evaded a direct
answer demanded by the govern
ment. which had set forth its ultima
tum that Turkey must say that she
would not resist the proposed occu-
patton Of Tripoli and Cyrene. In
stead the porte sent a conciliatory
note suggesting further delay.
1t was known that the same day
Turkey transmitted q note to the
powers in which it is assumed that
she represented herself as the injur-
ed party and by inference at least
sought their Intervention.
The royal government decided to
stand absolutely by the ultimatum
ana in the absence of the reply called

ious reports are received as to en-
gagements at sea, in which Turkish
vessels have been sunk, and the oc-
cupancy of Tripoli by Italians.
1t is also reported that Germany
Is engaged in a movement to arrange
terms of peace between the two
countries before hostilities develop
further, in the hope that there may
be a peaceful settlement of the mat
ters in dispute and the war termin-
ated before it has fairly begun.

STRUCK BY PASSENGER TRAIN

Way Home From Town
and Instantly Killed.

The entire community was soreIy
shocked this morning at the news of
the terrible accident which resulted
in the death Of Mr.. John McAndrews.
Sr, one of the pioneer residents of
Decorah.
Just three weeks ago today his be-
loved life companion passed away.
after months of illness, and her loss
bore upon him heavily, so that he
srieved almost constantly over it.
This morning after breakfast the old
gentleman came up town for some
chicken feed, and was returning
home with it just as the morning pas
senger train came in. Carrying the
nttle sack Of feed, he was walking
eastward on the south side of Water
street. and as he came to the cross
ing near the Milwaukee passenger
station, he turned and walked a few
steps up the track toward the depot.
evidently intending to cross to the
other side of the bridge at this place.
The wind was blowing almost a gale.
and he did not hear the train, which
struck him before it could be stop-
ped. The accident was witnessed by
Frank Headington. He was quickly
carried home on stretcher, and died
without regaining consciousness.
soon after arriving at his house.
Drs. Daubney and Jewell were
called, and found a severe fracture
OF the skull, the left leg crushed
from the knee to the ankle, the left
arm broken in two places, and the
right wrist dislocated.

One child, daughter two years Of

Mr.. McAndrews, through his long
residence in Decorah, has had wide
acquaintance. A kindly, sympathe-
tic, industrious man, he was always
busy until the frailties of age COM
PEELED him to give up work few
years ago. He was man who never
made an enemy, who attended strict
ly to his own affairs, and who bore
the respect and confidence of every
one who knew him. He will long
be remembered for these manly quail
tiles and his good citizenship by
those who knew him in life, and his
sad taking away has brought the
tear of sorrow to many a cheek. who
deeply sympathize with the grief
stricken family.

TAFT CROSSES IOWA.

Hawkeye State i'm 1880
Mile Tour.

President Taft was the guest of
Iowa last week, and the old state
did itself proud in welcoming the
greatest citizen of the republic. He
entered the state at Council Bluffs,
and the most important stops were
made at Fort Dodge, Webster City,
Waterloo, Des Moines. Knoxville,
Abba and Ottumwa, his last public
word being at Bloomfield, the home
of Governor Carroll. where he made
special stop at the latter's request.
The two formal addresses were made
at Waterloo and Des Moines. At the
former place he discussed the finan-
cial condition of the country. and
advised a more temperate view by
the people toward the corporations.
scenting trouble for the country un-
less this is done. At Des Moines he
spoke in defense Of his arbitration
policy. At the other places he talk
ed upon the tariff, reciprocity, and
patriotism. Everything possible waa
done by the cities visited by the
president to make his trip an agree
able one. and those who accompanied
his train state that his reception
everywhere was cordial and enthu
siastic. Large crowds gathered a.
each place where the train stopped
and were not only entertained, bu
enlightened by the addresses n
made. 1t is the common opinion
that Taft made many new friend
throughout the state by his visit.
