House.
The Department of Agriculture
| has designated three field agents Of
the Department. to Proceed to West
Virginia and give instructions to
farmers along the lines Of scientif-
ic farming. One agent is to be sent
to the Northern panhandle one to
Charleston, and one to be designated
for the State at large. Senator
Watson has undertaken at the sug-
gestion of James Fl. Stewart, former
director Of the Agricultural expert
ment station, to have an additional
| field agent assigned to the State and
located at Parkersburg.
The Department of Agriculture
acted very promptly last week In
sending one Of the experts from the
Department to investigate and
overcome disease which had bro
ken out In the tomato fields of Nor
gan county near Berkeley Springs
There are about five thousand acres
|of that county planted intomatoes
and the eradication of the disease
meant a great deal to the farmers
in that community Within three
hours after the receipt by Senator
Watson Of letter asking for as
sistance, the Department OF Agri-
culture had a man on the way to
Berkeley Springs to ascertain the
cause of the trouble and to give in
structions as to how to overcome It,
Senator Chiffon offered an amend-
ment in the Senate to the Panama
Canal bill SO as to provide that the
officials now in charge of the work
should be retained in their present
positions until the completion of
the Canal. He explained that he
did not think it would be right to
allow these men to complete the
work and be replaced by others be-
fore the completion Of the canal
could be celebrated
Senator Watson was called upon
a few days ago to preside over the
Senate as president pro tenn of that
body. He spent several hours in
the chair acting as vice president
during the absence Of Vice Presi-
dent Sherman, and although it was
the first time he had presided, his
rulings were regarded by all the
Senators as entirely fair.

The Illinois Central railroad,
in statement recently made to its
employees, takes the same position
as that of the great oil trust, mag
nate, John D. Rockefeller, that we
eat too much,
Suppose the employees Of all the
great railroad systems would stop
eating meat, or eat meat once day
The price Of meat certainly would
fall. Business would go on just the
same, the men would feel better
and do much more efiicient work.

COLORED MAN IS
ADJUDCED INSANE

Elmer Van Buren,, the colored man
who was arrested in Moline several
days ago when he sent in fire alarm
and then acted very queerly when
the firemen arrived at the call box,
was today adjudged insane and com
mitted to WATERFOWL hospital. The
county judge together with Deputy
County Clerk Clarence Isaacson went
to the Moline police station and there
convened court. A commission con-
sisting OF the judge and Drs. c. E.
Whiteside and II. S. Bennett made the
inquiry. There could be no doubt that
the fellow is demented. He had torn
all his clothing from his body while in
generated.

ACTION AGAINST
GIRL DISMISSED
Judge R. w. Olmsted Finds
That Hazel Valkolopis Is
Not a Delinquent.
NO JURISDICTION HERE
Marriage to Greek Is Binding and
Residence Is Now in Nebraska
Both Are Released.

The delinquency proceedings
brought against Hazel Volkolopis by
her family who wished to have her
separated from the man with whom
she fed to Lexington, Neb., and to
whom she was married there, were
today dismissed in the county court
by Judge R. w. Olmsted. The Judge
held that the state of Illinois has no
jurisdiction over the girl inasmuch
as her husband has made himself a
resident of Nebraska through having
applied there for citizenship. Despite
the fact that she periured herself in
obtaining a marriage license, the mar
rage once performed is just as bind
ing as any and therefore the Judge
held that he could not take a wife
away from her husband and make her
the ward of a state in which she is not
a resident as necessarily her residence
is where her husbands is.
ABDUCTION CHARGE DISMISSED.
Following the dismissal of this case,

of the murder, and also regarding the

the house and which were believed to
have been caused by Schroeder's as

She corroborated the testimony of Miss
