The speeches, slang remarks, and spiteful! actions of some rtf^the members of council whs euough tostir the “gallery- gods" iu a teu-eept theatre and it is no wonder that the house -had to be called down, - The early part of, the evening .was devoted to the regular routine o f bust- h . <*<- “ "t, ■ L-* • , » ' •.-.;,*;r mess and everythingwent ulong.nicely. The clerk reported the sale of 8800 worth of bonds, as w’ns advertised. Messrs. J . H , Stortmjnt and 'Jacob Beigler beiug the only bidders. On the four bonus Mr. Stormoni offered 82 while Mr. Seigier ottered 831 On this the clerk gold’the bonds to ’ Mr,' Seigier The bonds bear five per cent interest. The regular monthly ex pauses*unwanted to•$333.97 and Were ordered paid. The ordinance, compelling the . rail­ road company to- have a watchman at the Miller street crossing was amend * «L so that the Watchman will be brought to Main street and the signal bars put on Miller s tree t,Th e elec­ tric bells will not be chhUged and will ring only when the watchman ia off duty. As Mr. James Caldwell has accepted the position its watchman, he offered his r signatlon as lighter of the street lamps, and on motion Of Mr, Walker, ft. W. Kennon was employed for three months, at a salary o? 820 per month. Council expects to have other applications in for this position. A motion was passed appropriating 855 for the purchase of a new suction hose lor the fire engine. Reports Irom different committees, treasurer, mayor and chief engineer were leceived. The mayor s receipts, 818,20, wore ordered placed in the general fund. When it fame lime for the report of Urnchairman of the street commit* tee us to wlmt action had been taken on the hitch ng rack in front of the Kerr & Hastings Bros, warehouse* the audience held its breath and a pin, conid be heard to fall-only for £ moment, Mr. Fields, as chairman of this committee, reported Unit the committe could not agree* Messrs. Andrew and Walker voting for the moving of the rack white Fields and Gilfaugh were opposed, He also asked for more- time to consider and S'ft if Some conclusion could not be reached,, Mr Field* hardly had the last word from his lips until Mr. Aft diew was on the floor and stated that he wished eouncif to understand that Mr. Fields’, report W«* a false one, That he held that the report was fake at the last meeting, iNext came * long speech, interspersed with ges* lures, in which the truth and verac­ ity of Jmemljer* of the council were questioned. The noise In the room became so loud that Mr Andrew WWS forced to take his seat, I t was here that Mayor McFarland called for fjuictor he would clear the room*. Mr, Andrew again resumed*hlaspeech saying that the day the committed met there were four votes to move the rack. He was corroborated by Mr. Walker, Messrs, Wtds and Gillaogh held h different view and the commit* faeMantis divided. So hot did the dfam&irm beeome that several o f the nwmk-ra indulged in personalltiev, am! Mayor McFarland asked the nit;nj* tew to keep enol, cut out the person# a’itifa and settle dawn to busineas like Isisro&y smtu where the members of the council ore keeping Messrs Andrew mid Walker a t sea, Op a previous motion Mr, Field’s report was received; all voting for it except Messrs. Andrews and Walker. Of course the chairman w*a granted more time fa consider the question. It was moved by Andrews* second ed by Walker, that the street, pom- miasioner he authorized to move the raqk or have same done. Mayor Mc­ Farland informed Mr. Andrew that bis motion was out of place, as the .coiumiUeo had just been granted an­ other month’s time,, the entire ques­ tion being in their .hands. Mr. An drew* thought hot, holding that it was .council’s place to act, A vole was called, Mr, T. ft, Andrew stepping forth and calling attention to the fact that « roll call was neceasry. It seems that four membera of tbq council were not afraid to go on record .and an- swered the clerk’s call. Mayor Mc­ Farland declared the motion “lost, Messrs, Gillaugh, Field, Caldwell and Bull voting "nen,” while Messrs, An­ drew and Walker voted ' ’yea. Extract from a Biographical Re- view of Columbia County, * New York, was at the last ' meeting" that Mr; B. Andrews made ,ai> oral proposition’ to the council to proceed' to”remove the rack, and he would put ug(abend reimbursing the corporation far any money spent, should the pnsa betaken -to court- This same proposition was handed in iq writing;and was’ voted upon, the vote standing the same as ou the motion, to move the rack; con­ sequently 'it was lost and .Mr. An­ drew's proposition was twice refused Mr Caldwell stafed tintthe was tired pf this question and wanted it ’ drop­ ped! . Each meeting Seems to he get- the members irtare disgusted with the question, The hitching' rack is not in tront of the resicledee of T-B* An­ drews. The oiiouteq o f the Council fehovythat Andrews Bros,, asked for the establishment of the hitching^rack at that point itnd even went so far as td fuhiish part of the material; that- spite'work lurks behind .the entire mntterand that corporation property has been drawn into the' question to "get even,” Mr. T, B, Andrew ha? threatened to bring suit againBt the corporation if the rack is not moved* and from all appearances the Village legislative body is going to give him a chance To-, carry out his threat. Pffbliy sentiment is getting pretty strong* particularly among the farmers* ns .they are the ones -most interested, ,'N A communication waS toad from Mr* Jacob Lott, asking to be reim­ bursed for crushed rock which was taken from the street in front of his residence,- it having .been placed there a t his expense. On motion of Mr. Bull it-Was referred to the Btreet com­ mittee, when Mr. Andrew stated that If it was, he wished to Offer his resig" notion. A vote was taken, after some discussion, as vto what committee should look after Mr. Lott’s claimand it was placed iu the hands of the street committee. Nothing further Was heard in regard’ to any of the members offering their resignation, Thus ended one of.council’a most ex­ citing meetings, held under the pres­ ent administration. A “DRY” TOWN, Since the second arrest of Charles Ridgway for alleged whiskey selling In violation to the Beal law, the* proprietor of this saloon drugstore has “cut out” soda.water, in order that he can assist the committee of one hundred in making the town* "dry,” Charles, or "Peranft Bill,” is a very thoughtful follow ami he has held the idea that if;the "wets” could not get something to wet their whis­ tle, the "dry*” had tiO right to the temperance refreshment. Then again he miglt have out out the soda husi ncis thinking the branch of trade he conducts in the rear of thestore might be Improved. Wo have not heard of anyone losing sleep over the loss of Mr, KJdgway's soda, and then ho# -many people are there hr town that would cate to take a glass ot soda in a Silicon? Mr. Ridgway is not fooling vety many, trot cveu the tha committee of one hundred who lave caused his second arrest, Mori- lay being the day set for the trial bo Fore -Mayor Thomas of Jamestown. The committee cares nothing about the soda water trade, they are looking after the department at the rear of he store, where boxes arrive marked sugar, groceries, pork and the like.

The fact that one Poland China hog sold at a swine sale fa Macy, Ind., last week for 117,957, makes tho man #hqh»s been raising ordinary animals orthbfkfad, so as to speak, open his his eyes to the value of handling pure brgd stock, The hog alluded to is Owned by a stock company with ten shares of slock. The interest in the hog was sold by share? the first bringing 81,300 and; the seventh |2,050.,: Seven shares were sold, the total of which reached 812,5Q00,. Averaging the remaining shares at the same ratio, the hog sold for 817957, a sum that leads one to think the animal was worth its weight fa gold. The Miami,Valley was the horpe of this hog tho qrigmal place of breeding being in foe vicinity of Warren crSuniy. ' ! WANDEREDAWAY. Mr?,’ Robert K.

Insects have diseases peculiar to themselves just ae other animals; One of the most familiar forms is perhaps' the white bfa?eardine which is com* mon to chinch bugs apd under certain favorable conditiofts my be extremely virulent, causing great losses in the number of this pest- It ia a contag­ ious disease, and its appearance is an insect is due to tbe presence of a mic­ roscopical parasitical plant which. is popularly known as the chinch bug fungus ■ This fungus thrives as naturally up-' on this insect as other plants- do*upon the soil. It develops from spores which may be considered as minute seed's^ I f conditions are suitable for growth, the spores sown upon the sides of the insects by the wind give rise to little rootlets which .penetrate its exterior Coverings and tissues within to obtain nourishment for the growing plant.. -This drain Upon' the insert’s, vitality is often* sufficient to cause its death. After the death of tho insect the fungus continues to grow, sending delicate branches through the outer covering, which.of-, ten envelope the body with a white' mold-' In tim'efoi3 takes on *a.* grey­ ish appearance, caused by tiny' black’ bulls which form «rt the ends of the branches. These bails contain spores which upon liberation from fad spore are distributed by fae wind. The fungus makes !ts beBt develop­ ment duriug seasons when there are plenty of chinch hugs and an abund­ ance of rain. The purpose in distri­ buting the tungus in the fields is to take advantage of favorable condi­ tions to secure a,more rapid distribu­ tion of the disease than would occur normally. No immediate benefit will be derived by distributing the fungus during dry weather, but as it retains its vitality for a number of months it may start an epidemic of the disease long after ‘ its distribution upon the approach of suitable weather.* For several years the Ohio Experi­ ment Station at WooBter has*' been sending out small free srmpleg of this fungus to farmers iu the state in. the hope of aiding them .by starting an outbreak of disease among the chinch bugs infosting their crop, Tbe fungus the experiment station is sending, out this year has been grown in a mixture of corn meal and beef broth, instead of upon insects, as jt is a cheaper and simpler method of cultivating and distfibUtinfi* it to the farmers of the state. But owing to the great number of requests for ma­ terial the quanity sent to each indi­ vidual, is very small, and should be used to its greatest advantage. To do this collect a number of bugs and confine them together with a small portion of fungous material, finely divided, id a tight, wooden box, con­ taining a thin layer of earth in the: bottom, Suppty the imprisoned bugs with fresh corn stalks as often as nec­ essary and keep the contents of the box moist by. sprinkling them. As bugs show evidence of disease dsfltri- bute a part ofthem over the filds and Supply their places with fresh bogs. Keep up this operation till a goodly number of funguous covered bugs are distributed in the worst infested areas, If by chance tbe boxfcs be­ come foul, they should be carefully cleaned abd thoroughly aired, A simpler method of spreading the disease is to crumble Up the material finely and distribute it where tbe bugs ary most numerous* peFferably in damp places, such as under $rass and fallen corn stalks. It Would be a saving of time and expense if farmers would preserve a fewof the fungous covered bugs with which to start infection boxes the following spring. If the fungus seems to be a failure, write immedi­ ately for a freshsupply, Mrs, E . H, Carruthers, of Xenia, Mrs. W. I*.
