Xet m Caa41dt for Ronator, Gt- traor r Anj Other Political Office The never ending lying of the Asso ciated press and plutocratic editors ia enough to make the life of the average citizen a living misery. Soon after Tom Johnson was elected mayor a dis patch was sent to every paper in the United States saylng that he had made a deal with the whiskey element and that tbe next Sunday all the saloons were thrown wide open where the worst elements held a jubilee over the overthrow of the republican party. Some days afterward an editorial was printed In one of Chicago's great dail ies not at all friendly to any section of the reform forces, which gave the fol lowing account of Tom's program for his term In the mayor s chair. It said: "Mayor Johnson, the street railway magnate, has been mayor of Cleveland two weeks. During that time he has laid plans for reforms that promise to convert Cleveland into the model city of the Union. " Gambling houses have been notified that they will do well to dispose of their outfits at once, as gam bling will not be tolerated. Confi dence men will be driven from the city, disorderly saloons will be closed and all unsafe and unsightly build ings will be torn down. If the order in regard to unsafe buildings is not obeyed within forty-eight hours the fire department will be called out and the buildings torn down over the heads of the occupants. Saloons that do not obey the ordinances with reference to closing or persist In running disorderly houses in connection with their resorts will have their licenses revoked. The mayor will also place the civil service upon the merit system without waiting for any special state legislation. MIt is easy to see that there are live ly times ahead for Cleveland under Mayor Johnson. The significant thing about the reforms about to be insti tuted by the mayor Is the fact that no special legislation vesting the execu tive with new powers appears to be necessary to carry out his plans. Mayor Johnson merely -declares his purpose to enforce the city ordinances that have been enacted by the common council of Cleveland. He purposes to act clearly within the authority al ready vested In th-a mayor. He will suppress gambling, close the dives and disorderly saloons and tear down the firetraps under pow;r3 long ago grant ed to the mayor." The editorial wound' up with the most positive statement that Johnson would not be a candidate for senator, governor or any other office while his term lasted. That he was going to be mayor and devott all his energies to the reform cf Mark Hanna's home city which needed mort reform than any other place In the United States. Destruction of Grasshoppers On account cf the continued pres ence in hurtful numbers of grasshop pers in portions of Nebraska bulletin discussing methods for their destruc tion has just been issued by the Ne braska experiment station. It begins with a description of grasshoppers in general. -This outline Includes a state ment of their life-history, habits, and relation to other instt forms, as well as the effects of climate, latitude, alti tude, and diseases in keeping them within certain limits. The subject of parasites and other natural enemies Is also taken up. Much stress is laid on the past carelessness in our efforts at bird protection as a cause for permit ting our native locusts to become suf ficiently numerous to cause the trou ble of the past few years. Among tho artificial remedies which are suggested and described in this bulletin the most important ia that f "disking" in early spring alfalfa fields r and other grounds containing the eggs of these insects. This disking can be done at any time after the frost is out of the ground, but the best time seems to be early in April. Instead of injur ing the alfalfa numerous experiments in Kansas and Nebraska have shown that, by running the disk over the fields the yield is greatly increased. This stirriner of the soil breaks up the egg- ! masses and exposes them to the drying influences of the air and the keen eyes of the birds.;, . r The kerosene pan, or 'hopper dozer, is also recommended as very valuable for the destruction of the insects after hatching. - ' Owing to the uncertainly of fungus diseases the "inoculation method is discouraged, it having failed to give satisfactory results after repeated ex periments with several different forms of grasshopper, diseases. i LAWRENCE BRUNER. Nebraska Experiment Station. Vaccination In Chicago The board of health of Chicago has published the following statistics in regard to the result of vaccination in that city: v - "Out of the total 171 cases of small pox found in Chicago between Nov. 30, 1900, and April 10, 1901 the period of the present epidemic 140 had never been vaccinated. "Of the remaining 31 cases, 29 were adults showing faint, poor or irreg ular scars claimed to be evidence of attempted vaccination . in infancy or early childhood the most recent be ing 23 years old. ' "Only two out of the 171 cases ex hibited typical scars of successful vac cination. Of these one was 35 years old "vaccinated when a child r" re vaccination attempted three years ago, without result: vaccine lymph prob ably inert.' The other was 40 years old, also successfully vaccinated in childhood, but never revaccinated. "These are the only two cases out of the total 171 upon whom vaccination was ever successfully attempted, and the most recent of these was more than thirty years ago." Since vaccination was made compul sory in the schools smallpox has van ished from them. The requirement was first put into effect in 1867, and from that year until 1881 there were only seventeen cases all told of small pox and varioloid. It is the opinion of the health department that these may be explained by the imperfect inaug uration of the compulsory system, and it is certainly remarkable that as it continued in operation the disease dis appeared entirely. For twenty years the schools were immune, and four cases which were reported last winter simply s serve to strengthen belief in tho efficacy of vaccination. The pa tients were pupils who had been let in on fraudulent certificates and who had never been vaccinated. They were the exception which proves the rule. Finally, since vaccination nas been universally practiced in the Chicago police department the officers have been free from smallpox, and that is a fact of much significance. Policemen go everywhere, among all sorts of peo ple, so that they are exceptionally lia ble to exposure. Is it a mere chance that several thousand Chicago police men are exempt from smallpox or Is It because that they are all vaccinated? A NEW JERSEY MAYOR H Proposes to Fight tko Stoel Trust and 8avo His Working: Mem From - t - Destitution Ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt has by a recent act pointed out one of the worst effects of large trust companies. He is at the head of a steel mill at Trenton, N. J., and was solicited to permit his property to be scheduled in the Morgan steel trust. This, however, he declined, giving as one of his principal reasons that he had in his employ' 500 men who owned houses in the vicinity . of the mill, and did not wish to place them at the mercy of a non-resident corpora tion, which might at will shut down the ' works and bring ruin upon them. This indicated not only just and ben evolent consideration for the welfare of his employes, but the wisdom of a practical student of the workings of trusts. , , , . The proper definition of a trust is the union under one management of a number of concerns engaged in the production of the same material for the purpose, if possible, of controlling its output and price at which it shall be sold. As incident to such combina tion comes the decrease in the cost of management by one central body in stead of by a number. But when the trust represents a large output the chief source of profit is its ability to regulate its price, by raising it when the demand is greater than the supply and lowering it when the opposite condition . prevails or to break down the competition; of weaker concerns. The most effective device in case of a plethora is toshut down one or more of its mills in order-to make a real or affected reduction in supply. In such resort favoritism is shown to partic ular plants which are kept in opera tion while others are closed. In this manner innocent millworkers are shut out of employment and wages, while the trust is able to maintain prices aVtheir expanse. Many instances have, in fact, occurred where) competing properties have been bought and per manently, closed for the purpose of suppressing competition, involving ruin to the operatives and a blight up on the locality previously prosperous as the seat of such manufactory. This is the favorite practice of the Stand ard Oil trust, vhich when a new field is discovered will get control of it by taking options upon the land in the territory so as to prevent development by others and let it lis idle. Kentucky is fairly covered by such options in the regions showing indications of oil, and in only one of them, in Wayne county, are there any wells In opera ARMSTRONG CLOTHING; rGOi, LINCOLN, NEBR.

If the grounds are such that the lawn can broaden as it leaves the house the effect is improved. Allow the lawn to lead up to the house. It is better to border the lawn with groups -of shrubs or flowers than to break up its smooth expanse with sin gle trees; shrubs or beds: A roadway to the stable may be necessary. This can be screened with borders or groups of shrubbery plants. In states like Nebraska where the rainfall is much less than the evapor ation, the preparation of - the soil should be such as to readily conserve the largest possible proportion of the annual rainfall, to allow the rains to soak deeply into the soil. Special care should be taken to so carefully han dle the soil that it should be in the best possible condition not only for the reception of moisture, but that the un derlying moisture In the subsoil may freely rise to the grass roots on the surface. This is largely dependent on the proper condition of tilth. Soil ought to be prepared for twelve inches in depth, .finely pulverized to be free from all clods or lumps, then should be firmly packed so that, the soil mois ture may rise up to or near the sur-? face and help to germinate the grass seed thereon. - The lawn will be more- luxuriant and will retain moisture better if heavy applications of , fine old manure have been made A heavy application means fifty tons an acre, or for a lawn the size of an average city lot eight or nine two-horse wagon loads, i More than this amount can be used with saf ety and to - advantage. The proper place for this manure is in or near the surface of the -ground. -Its office is to furnish an abundant supply of plant food for shallow rooted grasses and to assist in keeping the surface soil from baking. In the grounds of the trans Mississippi exposition at' Omaha some 1,200 loads of fine old manure were used and after seeding an additional application of this fine old manure was raked Into the surface to act in some degree as a mulch assisting to retain the moisture at the surface and in the germination of fine lawn seeds. which cannot be deeply covered. - The most usual grass used for lawn Is the blue . grass. As it takes this nearly three weeks to germinate and within that time quick growing weeds may grow up, it will be found useful to sow something that will germinate more quickly than seeds of weeds. For this , purpose English rye grass and Italian rye grass are often used. In the exposition grounds at the trans Mississippi one-third Italian rye grass, one-third English rye grass and one third blue grass was used. It is also advantageous in the hope of covering the surface quickly and helping ' to check weed growth to use some white clover. The amount of seed required for an acre would not be less than six bushels of the rye grasses and blue grass together,' and our habit has been to use some five tor six pounds of white clover in addition. The rye grasses germinate in much less time than the blue grass, grow rapidly and assist during the first season to keep down weeds, thus allowing the blue grass to acquire a foothold. In sowing the seed it is well to se lect a time when there is not much wind that the lawn may he "evenly seeded. It is also well to sow one-half of each kind of grass each way, in creasing the probability of having the seed venly distributed. ' Seed can then be raked in, and then , It is advantag eous to use a light coating of very fine bid manure to assist in retaining mois ture at the surface. Where city wa ter can be had it is not necessary to be quite as careful as on lawns that have to be grown without water, de pending on conserving enough of the natural rainfall and bringing it throughfinely prepared soil and a firm surf aceio the "surf ace and thus, germ 1 xiate th'eW delicate seeds just under the surf ace.-. -.a.- -: . ', ' . It will be. necessary to-run the lawn mower usually oncea week, keeping in check weed growth and to. secure fine, even turf. If water can be had It will be found advantageous to use. it frequently with the , thought of keep ing up a moist condition of .surface until the lawn is well established. It is not wise to run the lawn raowr week ly late in the fall, since this leaves the roots wlth less than proper Rheltcr. Too frequent cutting also les;sens the vigor of the growttn It will oftentimes be found;. useful late in fall or early in winter to apply a thin coating of very tine old manure which will assist in protecting the grass roots through the winter and help to secure more vigorcus Growth the coming season. ." - E.
