J7IE SZZJC WORM INDUSTRY.
Thursday evening of last week , we lir
the pleasure of visiting the cocoonery of
H. Gibhs , wliere we found him and eight <
nine assistants busy as bees , looking aft
his crop of 200,000 silk worms. So litt
attention has been paid to this useful litt
animal in this partof the country that pe
haps a brief description of its habits an
peculiarities may not be uninteresting 1
the general reader. In the first place tl
worms are hatched from eggs which shoul
be kept at a temperature of aboutfortyd
grees , until the hatching process is con
menccd , when theyare placed in a temper !
ture of about sixty degrees , and this
gradually increased to eighty degrees , u
which temperature the hatching takx
place. It is usually aboutfive days froi
the commencement ot the hatching unt
the entire batch is hatched , and so rapi
is the growth of the worm and so unifon
in time is each subsequent stage of its di
yelopment , that the hatching of each da
is kept separate. The animal lias a vonu
Sous appetite and from the time it emerge
from its shell until it commences the wor
of spinning , it eats with avidity. Gree
leaves mulberry leaves are best is it
only food , and the noise the 200,00
worms make among the leaves in feed in
sounds a great deal like the falling of rail
upon the roof. The worms eat constantly
except when molting and spinning , not eve ;
stopping to rest at night. They molt fou
timc-a at intervals of five or six days apart
and five or six days after the last moltiii ]
they are ready to commence spinning
Thirty-two days is the age at which the ;
usually commence spinning ; but Mr. Gibb1'
first hatching eighty in number had al
ready commenced spinning , though bn
twenty-five days old , and he thought tin
an evidence that he had kept them well fed
The worm will spin a cocoon in about tu- <
or three days. Then it passes through an
other transformation in the cocoon , am
at the expiration of about ten more day *
the cocoon bursts and a moth emerge ;
therefrom. At the age of two or three dayi
the female moth commences layingeggsam
will lay from 300 to 500 , from which tin
silk worm is hatched , as above shown
These eggs soil readily in the market at Si
per ounce , and one ounce of eggs will hatcl
out 40,000 silk worms , and 40,000 sill
worms will in turn spin from sixty to om
hundred pounds of silk. [ Beatrice Eepub

T. W. Burtis , well known to the citizens
of lied Cloud and adjacent territory , has
discovered near this city the fact that yel
low ochre is to be had in great abundance
and of tho very best kind. The mineral is
said by experts to be an excellent quality.
Specimens have been sent to Chicago , New
York , St. Louis and other cities of note ,
and Mr. Burtis has met with encourage
ment and he will soon commence grinding
and preparing it for the market. This is
indeed a bonanza and we would advise Mr.
Bnrtis to procure the necessary means or
form a stock company to work the plant
for all it is worth , as there is certainly
money in it. Yellow ochre is an invaluable
portion of every pound of paint made , we
understand. If this is so we cannot see
why it should not be manufactured and be
made an important industry for Red
Cloud. It is certainly a big find and should
receive more than a passing notice. We
hope the matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated. [ Red Cloud Chief.

O.VE Of THE AKCIIER OASG
H'or/-cil Off by on Itnltana Sheriff in Gnu
Slini > c.
Shoals ( Intl. ) special : A tromendoi
crowd was here to-day. Probably 1OC
people witnessed the execution of Samu
Archer. He ascended the gallows at 1:1 ;
accompanied by two Catholic priests , tl
sheriff and deputies * . He was compose
and stood the test firmly. At 1:1G tl
black cap was placed on his head , and i
1:17 the drop was sprung. The fall failc
to break his neck and ho died from strangt
lation in fifty-eight minutes. Ho was nea
ly dressed in a suit of black , with a whil
tie. The coroner placed the remains in
neat coffin , which was taken charge of b
his relatives. Archer retired at 2 a. m
sleeping soundly until 5 a. m. , when 1
arose and partook of a light brcakfaf
at G.
The crime for which Archer was hange
to-day was the murder of Sam Bunch ,
neighbor , and though not a regular men
her of the Archer gang , was none too goo
to have been. In tho spring of 1882 hi
young Martin Archer , and Sam Marlej
ntole a raft of logs and ran them dow
White river several miles and sold then
Archer claimed that Bunch and Marley di
not give him his share of the sum realizcc
and they had a number of quarrels aboti
the matter , in one of which. July 2 , 1S8
Marley , it is supposed , killed the youngt
Archer and fled the country. The nun
dered Archer was found next daybyBunc !
and some of the Archer gang who Inn
set out to hunt for him , and when founi
was covered with flyblows. Bunc
scraped off some of them with a chi
and tauntingly asked the other partie
if they did not want some frcsl
cheese. This remark of Bunch and th
bravado and insulting manner in which h
talked about the killing of young Archci
together with the fact that Bunch wa
found to havefurnishcd Marley with mono ;
to leave , so enraged Mart Archer , Sr. , tha
he decided to punish linnch for his insc
lence and through him discover the where
ahouts of Marley , the murderer of yonn
Archer. Shortly alter the killing of yonn

home. Mart Arrhor said to him : " 1 giv
you just two minutes to tell when' San
Marley is or you are a dead man. " Bund
replied : "Oh , hell you fellows won'
shoot anybody , " u hereupon Mart gavi
the command to his men to fire and fluncl
Fell a corpse , pierced by a half dozen bill
lets. Mart Archer then fired another bulle :
into his head. The u'ang all escaped. San
Archer was subsequently captured and hi :
trial followed , resulting in conviction am
the passing of the death sentence. He huh
up with all the characteristic coolness o
the-Archers until work was commenced 01

down and tears coursed freely down hi ;
cheek. Many have visited him since hii
confinement , where he would answer mosi
all questions asked him , yet maintained j

murder.

icnsion bills , and a defense of the manner
n which pension legislation is conducted.
i.t the outset the committee says : "It is
laid that never since the foundation of the
; overnment has there been an executive
, -eto of a private pension bill , save in a
: iiigle instance , until the present session.

lifiicnlt matter without violating the
ourtesies of official intercourse by imitat-

iware , is without precedent , and which , so
iir as we are concerned , should remain
o. "
Of the president's criticism the report
lays : "Much criticism has been indulged
n by the president of the methods of legis
ution pursued by the two housed of con-
ress , and however uninformal he may bo
ipon the subject , and howeverunintention-
illy , by reason of want of knowledge , he
nay have been pursued in like cases ever
ince congress and parliamcnthaveexisted ,
.nd which have , since parliaments became
ree , been safe from kingly and presidential
riterference , all the same the people have
ieen misled by unwarranted statements of
he president as to tho manner in which
? gislation upon pension claims and the
ike is , and of necessity must be conduct-

Jieliulf of Ireland.
NEW YORK , July 5. A meeting attended oy
about 20,000 persons was held this afternoon
hi Uniot > square , under the auspices of the
Central Labor Union. The gathering was of
ivorkitinmen , and the purpose was to appeal
to the workingmcn of Great Britian and Ire
land to support candidates who are pledged to
the cause of home rule.
Among the organizations that attended In
bodies were 1,000 members of the ale and por
ter brewers association , 5JO members of the
Shoemaker's progressive association. 3,000 men
of Progressive ussemblv No. 2 of laborers , 200
of the association of woodearvers , 2,000 of tho
United operators union , 1,000 of the United
pressmen's union , 1,200 of the tailor's union ,
4.000 of the association of 'longshoremen ,
2,00) United brassworkers , 1,000 United tail
ors of children's clothhur , 5,000 operative
plasterers , 1,000 tin and slate roofers and 100
marble workers.
There was speaking from four stands from
one of them In German. Grand Master Work
man I'ouilerly was to have delivered an ad
dress , hut was forced to send a telegram of re
gret at his inability to do so.
An appeal to the ivorkingmcn of Great
Britain and Ireland was adopted. It ex
pressed intense interest in the home rulo
movement for Ireland ; referred to the sym
pathy of the British working classes
with"the United States in its recent
struggle for the happily restored good
feeling between the north and the south , tho
refill of home rule for the states ; and calling"
on the voters of Great Britain to grant to Ire
land tho same autonomy as most certainly
calculated to engineer the spirit of love for
anil patriotic pride in the mother country anil
build up a community of feeling with the peo
ple of the United States , makinir a union of
the cnirli.-li speaking nations with an uutold
'
power'for good.
Among those who spoke was Henry Geonre ,
who was received with great enthusiasm. Ho
referred to the policy 'of home rule In allay
ing sectional strife ami animosity in this coun
try. The people of the United States were be
lievers in home rule because they had tried it.
The autonomy of Ireland was de.-ireil as much
for Knglaiul's sake as for Ireland's. He paid
warm tributes to Gladstone ami I'arnell.
One stand was set apart for ladv s-pcakcrs.
At this point Lillie Devereux fJIake had
charge. She held It was time for M omen to
take part in national affairs and followed the
suggestion with a brief address. Mrs Delia
S. I'arnell followed Mrs. Blake. The Irish
leader's mother was grei ted with cheers. She
siiid her want of health prevented her speak
ing at lenirth. Her feelings' ' , she said ,
were stiong as she stood before such a multi
tude. It recalled to her her ancestors who
fought for Iriifs liberty and for humanity
against the landlords who ruled over Ireland.
In giving sunputhv to Ireland she urired that
her hearers should not neglect to .send them
what is more needful ami practical money.
Madame Delascleus and Margaret Moore also
spoke briefly.
A $ -iOOOt ) I'OSTAfiE STA'SII" IKH1KKRY.
The po.stoffice was broken open last night
and robbed of § 20,000 in money and
stamps. No clue to the thieves. Mr. Lar-
away arrived in the city on the early train
from Lake Minnetonkaand was not aware
of the robbery until he arrived at the
office. The lobby of the postollice is open
at night and the safe blowers had no diffi
culty in opening the stamp window , where
one crawled through and opened the door
from the inside. The safe was near the
window , but as the glass is painted they
could not be seen from the street. The
work was by the "profession. ' ' They drill
ed a hole four inches deep between the
handle and the combination , then packed
tho lock. Laraway intimates there was
about § 20SOO , : in stamps in the safe , and
of this amount § 18,000 was taken ,
they having left § o,500 in one
cent stamps. AH the currency in after 5
o'clock , amounting to § 10 , was taken. Af
ter the robbery they made their exist
through the door of the office and took tho
mail carrier's horse and rickey , Middlemist
it Taylor's delivery wagon , and carried the
boodle off. As near as can be ascertained
the robbery was committed between 1 and
2 o'clock. The office does not employ a
watchman. From the looks of the stamp
[ lepartment they left in great haste , leaving
line steel drills and a lane sleilue and pick-
; ixe , also a silk handkerchief with a. mark
DII it which will be a clnu for the detectives.
At the time the robbery was committed a
lieavy rain was fallim ; . and there was not a
policeman to be found anywhere in tho
neighborhood. The robbers went to St.
I'aul and left the horse and wagon , which
have been found by the police.
