One Of oIaest in keokuk.

The building. part of which was
ruined this afternoon, was built in
the fifties, during the boom and con-
struction work that was going on ac-
lively here in 81, it is said 1t is
thought that the building is nearly
sixty years old.
The big brick structure, which is
occupied by negro tenants, marks a
site about 100 feet long and about one
fifth of this was in ruins today.

Fell With Loud Noise.

Reeves was going to the building at
/ the time it fell, and had reached
Eighth and Blondeau when he heard
1.-The crashing of the bricks and wood
en- supports of the building giving way
Reaching Ninth, he saw the part he
/ had meant to enter, huge mass of
wreckage. Had he been q few min
|utes earlies in reaching his store
room, he would undoubtedly have been
killed, as the building when it fell
composed itself into heap on the first
floor with no chance for one to es-
cape had they been inside. The fire
department was called out in case
some one should be buried beneath
the ruins.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-04-18
started This Morning.

Early this morning huge gap was
made in the wall on the north end
Of the building which fell this after
noon The bricks bulged out between
the first and second floors and then
fell to the ground leaving an opening
ten feet broad and about twelve feet
high.
Weakened by the weight above, the
lower wall gave way this afternoon
and caused the crash and wreck.

ONE SNAKE AND
MANY INSECTS

The following is Superintendent
Ehrhorn's report of the work of the
Bureau of Entomology during May:
Honorable Board of Commissioners Of
Agriculture & Forestry, Honolulu,
Hawaii.
Gentlemen: l herewith respectfully
submit my report of the work of the
Division of Entomology for the month
of May.
During this month we boarded 81
vessels and We found fruit, vegetables
and plants on 20 of them.
The usual careful inspection was

Rice Shipments.
1.15O 12.264

The rice shipments exceeded 10000
bags this month amounting toSa total
Of 30,21S bags. We examined each con-
signment carefully and found these
free from weevils and other pests.
Pests Intercepted.
On a shipment of Orchids and Bird
nest fern from Manila we found quite
number of insect pests and most
of the sending was destroyed. Several
Maple trees and pine trees from Japan
being infested with scale insects were
destroyed. One lot of chrysanthemums
from Ohio arrived by mail and was
very badly infested with the black
Chrysanthemum aphis. We returned
this to the Ohio shipper and notified
him of our flaws and regulations. We
don't expect any further trouble from
that section.
There was quite a stir the other
day in town on account of the diseov-
cry of a small snake found in the sand
at the new building on Fort Street
The sand came by the vessel "W. p.
Frye and the snake was a very
small watersnake, ten inches long,
which had evidently been scooped into
the vessel from barges which bring
the sand from the creeks. Snakes are
sometimes reported by stable men as
being found in bales of hay. Whenever
we hear of such introductions we
generally find out where the snakes
are and see to it that they are killed.
The w. p. Frye snake is in alcohol
lat the laboratory.
During the month there arrived two
Queenbees by mail for w. L. Hardy,
Hama. Mr.. Hardy notified us of this
shipment long before it arrived and
we found all according to regulations.
Beneficial Insects.
Three colonies of Cedalia cardinals
were sent out on request, one to
Molokai and two to Kahuku planta-
ton, where the Ironwoods were badly
infested with Cottonly Cushion Scale.
Starting June LIST I have engaged
Mr.. Valentine Marcallino to act as
Wharf Assistant for this Division, it
being of the greatest necessity for eff
cient work in the inspection line.
HiIo Inspection.
My inspector at Hilo, Brother Ne
well reports the arrival of six steam
ers and one sailing vessel. Five steam
ers brought vegetable matter consist
ing of 1872 lots and 1913 parcels CT
which three parcels had to be treated
to Immigration on account of aphis.

tigation Mitsuyasu was found to be an
accumplice and was arrested, convict
ed and sentenced for term Of two
years. He claims TO have been Wis
tied by Kumataro while he was in
Jail. from whom he had promises Of
$3.50 per week for every week he
spent in prison.
Having served his time, he began a
search for his friend. who in the mean
time had come to Kauai Locating
him, he came here in December last
and reminded him of the promise of
help. Kumataro was unable to help
him at the time, but promised to do
so by January LIST. He failed to come
through, however, as was also the
case on subsequent occasions, and ac-
cording to Mitsuyasu's story the lat
ter decided to even up He went
TO Kapai, bought 80 revolver a gal
Ion of sake, and sailed forth, bent on
getting satisfaction. He called on
Kumataro about o'clock Wednesday
evening and demanded money, with
no indication of success, which fact so
angered Nitsuyasu that he fired a shot
Gust to scare him" Barring his
breast, Kumataro, in tantalizing
manner, the victim said We'll, why
don't you shoot me-" His answer was
a fash and a second report. When
friends reached the dying man they
found that the bullet had entered his
left side at the junction Of the collar
and breast bone, having passed en-
tirely through the body and right
arm.
Mitsuyasu was Immediately over
powered and held until the police ar
rived. Sheriff Rice and DR.. Putnam
were on the scene within a few min
utes after the shooting. Dr. Putnam,
after brief examination, pronounced
the patient dying, and before the hos
pital was reached death ensued, the
bullet having severed an artery, the
patient dying from internal hemorr-
hage. To DR.. Putnam the prisoner
made a statement, and demonstrated
the position in which he held the pis-
toll at the time the fatal shot was
fired. He was placed in JAIL and has,
it is rumored, made a confession to the
sheriff.

yield at present averages about half a

takes place every thirty days. Mana

suit that he contemplates sowing quite

Shot at Cocoanut Island.
Hilo Tribune: The presence Of the
Enterprise in this port makes timely
the publication Of complaint which
was made to this paper just after the
vessel had left Hilo on her last voy-
age. 1t is stated that during her
former stay here an experiment was
made with the ships signal cannon, a
rather formidable piece of ordnance
which carries a proiectile described
as similar to an overgrown window
weight The cannon was aimed
straight at the Cocoanut Island beach.
In explanation of this weird maneuver
it was later stated by an officer of the
steamer that they wanted to see
where it struck" The projectile did
strike the island, thanks to the Keel
lent craftsmanship of the gallant sail
ors. Incidentally it struck very close
to some children who were playing on
the beach, and a scar on the rock bears
mute witness of the force with which
the missile struck. 1t is to be hoped
that if such a damnable practice is
repeated, the authorities will find a
way to punish those responsible there
for which will make the punishment
recently inflicted for the carrying Of
opium look like the merest slap on the
wrist.
Wine Prices Rise in HiIo.
HILO, June S.-The festive jag on
"Dago Red" will be a more expen-
sive article in the future, and posi-.
bly, this may mean a little less work
for the local police court. On account
of the higher price of grapes in Cali
fornia, which has resulted in a higher
price of wine in that state, the local
dealers are boosting their retail fig
ures for foot juice" as the beverage
is sometimes called. The price has
formerly been rs cents per gallon, but
in the future the thirsty wayfarer must
pungle up a whole simoleon for the
same quantity or be satisfied with a
little less of the make JOY come
quick"
According to advtces from the Coast
the price of grapes at the present
time is more than double what it was
year ago, owing to severe frosts
which have destroyed large part OF
the available crop. Last year the price
of ordinary wine grapes was IS pei
ton, while at present contracts are be
ing made at SIS, and in some cases
