"A man named Jones, living four miles east of town was telling me yesterday," said R. J. Thomas, "that a new fruit destroyer had made its appearance in his section. He says it is a big brown worm, that attacks the budding leaves on plum trees and literally strips the trees. On his place they have eaten his plums elean of buds and are now attacking his apple trees." Nevada Mail. Chicago, 111., April 16. This was the hottest April day since the sig nal service was established in Chioa go.The mercury went to 87 this after noon, beating Apil 15, 1894 by three degrees.

Archer, an organ tuner, to jail Fri day for 10 days in default ot the payment of a fine for drunkenesB. Walter Leonard, a colored boy, was also given 10 days for disturbing the peace. In cases of this kind Judge Ryland's whipping post would haye a more salutary effect on such indi viduals and likewise a saving to the tix payer. Missouri voters will have an op portunity to vote for or against four constitutional amendments, at the election this fall, as follows: One providing for the removal of the capital from Jefferson City to Se dalia.

Frank Vincent, a farmer living near Drexel, Mo , was afraid of banks and hid his saving, about $900, in an old boot which he hid on a sill un der his house. Jim Edward, a farm hand, found the hoard by accident. He took into hia confidence Charles and George Edwards and Chas. and Qeo. Morning, and for a time the boys had a hilarious old time. The way they epent money made the people of the neighborhood suspi cious that there was something wrong, but did not get onto the job until one of the pals got drunk and gave the snap away. $400 or $500 wai recovered. Thp KanBas City, Pittsburg & Gull Railroad announces under date of April 11th that passenger service will be restored between Siloam Springs, Ark., and Sallisaw on that date, as the few cases of smallpox that are still under treatment are strictly confined to the Camp on the Arkacsaw River fifteen miles south of Sallisaw. There has not been a solitary case of smallpox in Sallisaw this year, and no fear of the disease reaching there is manifested. On account of the excellent arrange ments, and thoroughly competent nurses and physicians furnished by the railroad company not a single death has resulted from the email pox, and a number of the Arkansas River bridge builders who were taken down are now back to work on the bridge.

South and West Pleased ' SiUer Dick." With Will Go to Chicago With Following. a Strong: Washington, April 18. The pres idential candidacy of "Silver Dick" Bland, of Missouri, has aroused much interest in Washington. South trn and western democrat! take kindly to the idea of the Missouri silver leader being the standard bearer of the Chicago convention. They say that the Bland boom will have a big growth in states where the silver men control, and that he will go into the Chicago convention with more votes pledged to him than any other candidate. It is too soon after the Sedalia convention for the Bland button to be eeen, but the Bland sentiment is Btrong and is growing rapidly. Almost without exception the southern and western members in dorse his candidacy, and when the Missouri man's campaign managers begin work they will have compara tively an easy task to place him in the lead among democratic caidi dates. The "sound money" men are hope lessly looking lor an available man. Olney, Whitney, Carlisle, Mathews and Morrison have followers, but few in number. They will divide the "sound money" delegations, however, so that Mr. Bland will easily have probably as maDy votes as all of them combined. The candidacy of William R Mor rison is admitted to have received a severe set tack by the action cf Mis souri in declaring for Bland. It is even now conceded that he will have to get the corrbined aid of the "sound money" wing to prevent Illinois declaring for Bland and free silver. That Ills , is to declare for free silver unless sharp political finesse defeat.s ir, is admitted by the most radical "sound money" men. What they are now bendiDg their energies to encompass is a defeat for free silver in Illinois. In no other state will the fight be waged so bit terly. Air. Morrison is to havf fell i the aid that can be given him. The Egm is Deing maae tow. some queer features. On It has the sur- lace the -gold bugs say that the free ailver men are in control Se cretly they are making tremendous efforts to carry the state. President Cleveland is said to be UTdsg a Land. While he is not Ohi ml ine of of Carpet mm io Gtae ami Lew & friendly to Morrison, he has notified the administration workers that they must help to carry Illinois. Ben Cable and ex Mayor Hopkins are to have all the aid of eastern democrats to carry Chicago and Cook county for gold. The wires are now being laid. But the free silver manager are confident that they will win and, now that Missouri has declared for Bland, the Illinois fight is to be sil ver and Bland against "sound money" and Morrison. Work That Tells. "Mr. J U- Bruner. of the real es tate firm of Clardy & Bruner, ex pects to start next Monday on an advertising expedition through the states of Nebraska, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. The firm have had print ed at this office 10,000 copies of a real estate journal filled with facts and figures of this county and the state, which Mr. Bruner will take with him for distribution among the farmers of the several states named." Butler Times. That is the kind of work that tells.
