The rosebugs have been very de
structive to vegetation this season,
especially to plants of the vining na
ture. Presumably competent agri
cultural authorities say they know of
no entirely successful way of exterm
inating the bugs. A friend told the
agricultural editor of this department
that he had used successfully common
chicken lice powder in dealing with
the rosebug nusiance. Grapevines,
cherry and apple trees, and in fact
nearly everything in our own garden
spot were at the time being ravished
by rosebugs, and so we got a package
of “lice killer” for a quarter and
sprinkled the vines and trees. What
ever has done it, the bugs have clear
ed out.
Suit to Take Children from Parent
Through the efforts of a number of
nfluential women of the city, who
save been interesting themselves in a
luiet way in a movement to provide
lor and give some education to thechil
Iren of John and Mrs. Dressier, the
county attorney has taken legal steps
co have live of the children sent to re
'orm school. Last Saturday a formal
complaint was filed with Justice J. A.
Golden by T. Y. Golden against Wil
iam Dressier and four of the others
charging that they were growing up
ander influences tending toward
nendicancy and crime. The family,
including the mother, was brought be
’ore the justice. Reporter Scott took
i stenographic report of the proceed
ngs, a transcript of which has beer
filed in district court. Marshal Mar
gin, Night Watchman Kane, Squire
Slattery and several ladies who had
visited the hovel which serves as a
place of shelter for the mother and
children—when the latter are at home
—were called as witnesses. Mrs,
Dressier was put on the stand as were
ilso several of the children. The hus
band and father is in Wyoming work
ing at carpenter work at good wages
Mrs. Dressier testified that he had
contributed about $75 to their support
since the first ot January last.
The enquiry revealed a pitiful state
of things at this home of squalor anc
neglect. The children have been run
ning at large on the streets for a lonj
time unkempt and ungoverned. The
city and township have beer
supplying the necessities of life
from time to time and the ladiei
of the Episcopal church and otheri
have furnished them with food and
clothing, but the actual condition!
were not generally known.
Those who visited the place testifiec
that a sewing machine, bureau, table
stove and heaps of rags for beds con
stituted the furniture of the house
while the only door to the house wa
off the hinges and the windows weri
knocked out.
The hearing was conducted by tin
county attorney to establish legal rea
sons for taking the children from thei
parents and put them in some juvenili
institution. The mother testifier
that she had been unable to send tin
children to school because of lack o
food and clothing for them. The chil
dren told of many times going hungry
They range in ages from 14 months
to sixteen years. To add to the de
plorable conditions it was brought out
at the inquiry that the oldest girl, age
sixteen,is expected to become a moth
er within a few weeks. It was furth
er brought out that a man well known
in this community had been seen oat
riding with the next younger girl age
fourteen, and was found at the Dress
ier home by the marshal and night
watchman at a late hour one night
not long ago.
In addition to the transcript now
on file in the district court we under
stand the county attorney will file an
information and ask that five of the
children under sixteen years be sent
to reform scnool.
Made a Canadian Police.
Police Commissioners Judge Barron,
Mayor Ferguson and Magistrate
O’Loane met this morning. They ap
pointed two men to fill the places of
Messrs. Robertson and Iteick. Messrs.
A. Scott and W. Grutsch were the
choice of the commissioners.
The foregoing is from a Stratford,
Ontario, paper. W. Grutsch is a son
of John Grutsch, living north of town,
lie went to Canada last December and
considering the fact that he went
among strangers he has risen to an
1 important position rapidly. Will is
strictly a Holt county boy, being born
! and raised here and has all the quali
fications necessary to make a good po
liceman. He was very near the 200
pound mark in avoirdupois when he
left here last fall, and only a boy of
twenty at that.

WANTS TO COME BACK.
Willie Elliott Would Rather Ride
Bronchos Than Follow Circus.
World Herald: St. Louis, Mo., July
6-—Willie Elliott, aged 14, a run-away
from the ranch of his uncle and guar*
dian, Peter Ryan, near Inman, Neb.,
is a prisoner at the four courts.
“I saw some circus posters and as I
can ride a broncho some myself, I
thought I could do better than the
bareback riders.
“That’s why I run away,’’explained
Willie today. “But they ain’t nothing
in it. I want to go back to Uncle
Pete and if you will just send him word
he will come and get me.”
The police today wired to Ryan and
meanwhile are giving the boy a home
and plenty to eat.
In the Boxing Ring.
The ten-round boxing exhibition
between Jack Sullivan of O’Neill and
Franklin Trommer was pulled off in
the large hay barn of Ryan Bros, last
Saturday afternoon before a crown of
about 250. Guy Buckles was the man
billed to appear against Sullivan but
he was unable to appear and Trommer
touted as the bost man in Omaha, ap
peared in his place. The exhibition
was a disappointment to the large
crowd assembled as Sullivan clearly
outclassed the importation from the
metropolis in weight, science and
speed, and, after the first round,
which Jack used in trying out the
“little fellow,” he could hit him when !
and where he pleased. The Omaha
boy boxed five rounds, the last three
of which Sullivan merely tapped him j
with the gloves and appeared able to
land whenever lie felt so disposed.
Trommer was unable to land very
often as Jack, by good foot work and
ducking, evaded his swings. At the ,
end of the fifth round the contest was
decided in favor of Sullivan by referee
Frank Leahy. Jerry Hanley then put
on the gloves with Jack and for five
rounds the boys gave a good exhibition
of the manly art. Previous to the
main event “Kid” Pat McCoy and
“Jesse” James went on for a five
round bout which lasted only two, the
“Kid” getting tired at the end of the
second round. This event was much
enjoyed and was said by many to have
been worth the price of admission,
