Gone to Rest

Gone to Rest
The scythe of time is moving rapidly
among the ranks of the pioneers these
days. Our duties as chroniclers of pass
ing events lead US often into the shad-
ows. But man is mortal and these have
mostly completed their labors and have
gone to we'll earned rest. Their work
as pioneers of this great northwest is
done and we'll done. Every home. every
church. every school house and every
sign of the change from wilderness to
civilization stands as monument to
those who first lay the foundations.
They have passed but they will live al
ways in their works. The world is bet.
ter for their having passed through it,
and no man needs better eu]ogy.

But he steadily failed and finally passed

months. He leaves family of two
daughters, Miss Mabel and Mrs. II. J..
Moore and two sons James A. Wilkins
cashier of the Merchants Bank of this
city and Charles, cashier of the bank at

Mr.. Wilkins was lifelong member of
the NJ. E. church and was of that gen.
ial disposition which made everybody

Many old friends will give their hearty

YkNTIC HAPPENINGS.
Warning Against Brown Tail Moth
Posted Conspicueusly.

Posted in q conspicuous place in the
waiting room of the Yantic station is
the following waning pertaining to
the brown tail moth:
Damage-It is q serious pest, the
caterpillars feeding upon many differ
ent kinds of foliage, but showing d
preference for pear, apple, cherry,
plum, oak, elm, maple, etc.
It is annoying ia human beings be
cause the hairs Of tn ecaterpillars,
which break off and blow about in the
air. come in contast with the human
skin, causing an intense itching and
rash, very serious with some persons.
Life Cycle.-The eggs are laid in
masses containing from 200 to 400
eggs, each, on a leaf in July. From Is
to 20 days are requiredfor Matching.
The young caterpillars feed upon the
leaves until September, when they
draw together a number Of leaves and
with the silk which they spin make a
nest. in which to spend the winter. In
the spring they deyour the new faliage
and become full grown about the goth
of June. The cocoons are then formed
in the folded leaves and two weeks
later the adult moths appear. Both
sexes are white, with brown at the end
of the abdomen, and fly at night.
Notwithstanding off and burning
the nests in winter trapping the
adults at electric lights in July and
spraying the foliage with lead arsen-
ate, three to five pounds in fifty gal
Ions of water are the best remedies.
Caution.--It is a violation Of the law
to transport living specimens. Chap

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
LIGHT TRADING.
The Better Issues Neglected While
Speciates Are Marked Up.

New York. Feb. lion the eve of
holiday trading was light and the
market inclined to be heavy, the clos
ing being weak
1t was a market in which the better
issues were neglected and some Of the
specialties marked up.
There was, as there has been for
some time, the old bear story that
business was bad. That was only a
story. Against this We're the figures
of bank clearings this week, which
showed an increase In every important
center except Boston. The bank
statement showed an increase in loans
of S10,000,0 900 and a decrease in sur
plus reserve of 100000 This was
better than had been expected.
In well advised circles the opinion
is expressed that the market may he
dull for some time to come or at least
until such time as theh threat of .ad-
ditional Investigations is passed. 1t is
recognized that members of congress
will shortly be deyoting more time to
getting their fences in order han
