' WASHINGTON , March 16. The Agricul
tural department has just Issued a pamphlet
on the SMI Jose scale of 183G , prepared by
Entomologist I * O. Howard. It Is of most
interest at this time LccauEe ot the recent
edict of the German government prohibiting
the Importation of living plants , fruits , etc. ,
because of the alleged discovery of the fcale
on pears shipped from California. The pres
ent bulletin Is supplemental to one on the
eame subject published In January , 1SOG ,
which contained a history ot the eastern oc
currences down to December , 1897. Never ,
it Is cold , in the history of economic en
tomology In the United Statca has a single
pecles of Insect excited so much Interest as
the San Jose scale. In the light of what wo
now know , the bulletin says , our actual
knowledge of the distribution of the scale
In the ermt In the fall of 189G was com
paratively slight. It was then reported as
occurring In twenty states , but in com
paratively few localities In each , with tbo
elnr.'o exception of New Jersey. In 1896-7
actual field Inspection In Virginia , Mury-
Inr.d , Illinois , Ohio , Georgia and several
other * showed that In these states the Insect
was nearly as widespread In New Jer
sey , while twelve stttcH and thu District ot
Columbia have been added to thu number
containing Infested points. The condition ! !
In over thirty elates and territories are then
given , some of the more Important being aa
followR.
California In this state the Insect Is , or
lias been , generally distributed. The condi
tions of climate sometimes kill It out , and
U often seems to bo destroyed by a funguii
disease , but In neglected and Improperly
eprayed trees arc as bad as In any of the
orchards In Maryland.
Maryland1 Moro actual damage seems to
have beenl done In this state than In almost
any other. The ecale has been located In
elxteen counties.
Pennsylvania At the last publication ol
the former bulletin , five localities were in
fested , since which time eight new placeo
huvo been discovered all except one In the
coutheastern portion.
Illinois The scale was not known to cxlrt
In this Ua o In November , 1S95 , but Prof ,

colonies la nineteen different localities
situate ; ! In eleven counties.
Michigan This state , not known to be In
fested In 1S95 , bail been found to have n
number of InfcsteJ localities In the southern
half.

Now Jersey In his last bulletin Prof
Smith states that all efforts to exterminate
the Insect must he abandoned. In 1S93 , the
scale was widespread and since that tlmo the
situation has not perceptibly bettered.

Report * .A live rut I > - .
At the meeting of the Board of County
Ccinmlrsloncrs held yesterday morning the
members presented a report on the request of
Mrs A. Sablnc McDonald , who asked an
appropriation of $5,000 , to be used la the
construction of nine pieces of cement
statuary to be placed upon the exposition
grounds.
Tl-.o request for the appropriation of the
money was filed eomo days ago , since when
Mm. McDonald has spent considerable time
with the commUaloners , She appeared be
fore the commissioners , sitting as a com *
mlttee , with resolutions adopted by the ex
ecutlve committee of the exprsltkm and the
Board of Park Commissioners , each body
pproprlatlns $5,000 , conditioned upon the
aunty giving $5,000.
The report presented by the county com
missioners Is ae followa : "We have given
he request of MM. McDonald due consldera-
lon and arc of the opinion that the beard
vould not be justified In making the ap
propriation. We therefore recommend tuat
he request bo denied. " Dili In deference
o a communication from the Woman's Board
f Managers , no action was taken.
Acting on the advice of tue county at-
orney , the board rejected the recjucat of.
ho Douglas county assessors for the com-
ecratlon to recompense them For gathering
ndufitrlal statistics , ao provided by law.
The county attorney held that the statutes
make It the duty of the assessora to pcr-
orm this labor and that they ace not en-
Itled to extra pay for performing their work.
"tie county attorney , however , holds that If
tic assessors cannot perform thl i extra work
n addition to their dutlec they may appoint
ddltlonal deputies , who would be entitled
o pay at the rate of $3 pci1 day. A resolu-
lon cmbodylug the views of the county at-
orney was adopted by a unanimous vote.
TO SENATOR THURSTON.
The following , signed by all of the meij-
> efs of the board was ordered sent to Scna-
or Thurston by telegraph :
The Hoard of County Commissioners fcx-
enil to yourself and fiimlly their sincere
pympithy In your cid bereavement In the
o a of a loving wife and mother , nml that
he Creator may give you strength to bear
he heavy burden Is the sincere hope of your
rlends.
By the adoption of a resolution , on and
after May 1 next , all county offices are
ordered to close at 1 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon.
Members of the bicycle cluts of the city
asked that the cycle path to Florence be
completed this season. The matter was
refened to the road committees , with power
to act.
A number of applications for positions to
look after the Douglas county exhibit at
Ihe exposition were presented and re
ferred.
A committee from the county assessors
appeared1 before the board for consultation.
Chairman Klerstead showed by the record
that last year It cost the city the sum of
$3,497.45 to make a complete assessment of
all of the property In the nine wards. This
he said was under the plan put In operation
by the tax commissioner. For assessing the
same property last year the county paid
the sum of $6,211.
Assessor Waterman of the Seventh ward
said that he had been careful In making his
assessments.
SOMETHING SEEMS WRONG.
Chairman Klerstead , discussing as
sessments , said that In tbe outlying wards
everything appeared fair , but In the busi
ness portion of the city , particularly In the
Third and Fourth wards , properties had
escaped taxation. There were Instances , he
said , where departments In some of the
stores had not paid 1 cent In taxes.
Commissioner Outran thought that there
was smethlng radically wrong In a. oeenlug
some of the city wards. In some wards much
property had escaped taxation , while lost
year the expense of listing the property
was much greater than that Incurred by the
city. TO Is condition , he said , applied largely
In the Third and Fourth wards.
Rev. Howard of the Christina Help Mis-
elon explained that the society which he
reprtents was furnishing beds and meals ,
together with medical attendance. He said
that the society was In a position to care
for a limited number of patients at $4 pet
week.
Commissioner Harto thought tbat the
county waa better prepared to take cart
of patients than any private Institution ,
Patients at the county tospltal , ho said , arc
now being cared < or for $4 per month , which
Include * ) board and medical treatment.
In disposing of the question the whole
matter was referred to the charity commit
tee.
HELP FOR POULTRY RAISERS.
O. W. Hervey of the Douglas County
Poultry association , together with some ol
the other members , addressed the meeting ,
He said that ho and his asoclates appeared
for the purpose of learning what as.stance
would be extended In making an exhibit at
the exposition. The poultry Industry , he
said , was one of the greatest In the United
States. Tbe money Invested In It , he said ,
aggregated $290,000 000. The Industry In
the state of Nebraska represented an' In
vestment of $6,500,000. Mr. Hervey thought
that itho poultry fanciers should receive
consideration at the -hands of the count )
commlfsloncrs and that provisions should
be , Tado for a Douglas county exhibit.
Chairman Klerstead eald that the com
missioners realized the Importance of a
poultry exhibit. The county had appro-
priitcd money to aid In putting In a live stock
exhibit , and when the proper time carm
they would undoubtedly aid the poultrj
breeders- a financial way.
The next meeting of the board will U
held at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning
when the poor farm bond question will cor *
up for consideration.

hasten the consummation of a deal for the
exclusive use ot Wagner care on the Union

la from a eource that 4'atnps the news as
unofficial , but authoritative.
Dr. Webb has been sojourning In Mexico
for some tlmo , and will sewn return to his
New York home via Omaha. While here
he will meet the new executive officers of the
reorganized Union Pacific railroad , and will
consult with them concerning the further
use of the sleeping cars' of his company on
the Union Pacific railroad. At present both
Pullman and Wagner cars ore used cm the
Union Pacific , the company having contracts
with 1/Dth companies. It U desired that the
expiration ot the present Pull ran contract
shall mean the termination ot all relations

Whatever may be the outcome of the

John Daly , Irish patriot , arrived In Omaha
for his ( list visit to the Gate City of the
wc\st yeotcrday afteraoon at 4:15 : o'clock. He
had Intended to reach here yeatecday morn
ing , but intiuod the Burllngton'o fast train ,
and had to take a later and slower one.
Heuis met at the station by a committee
representing the Irishmen ot Omaha , con
sisting of John Powers , Michael Hogati , Mar
tin Langdon and RUbard O'Kceffe. With
the latter de was already well acquainted ,
and the two hugged each other In affectionate
embrace for a moment before the other mem
bers of the reception committee were Intro
duced to the distinguished guest.
The committee cocorted Mr. Daly to a
hotel , where a number of other Irishmen of
this city were In watting to welcome tnc
gurat of honor. Mr. Daly remained about
the hotel until shortly after dinner at 6:30 :
o'clock. In Hie early evening a number ol
prominent cltlzeno culled to piy their re
specie , and shortly afterward Mr. Daly was
npiln taken In charge by the reception
committee for a short drive about town. Ho
returned to the hotel a little after 9 o'clock ,
to bo cordially greeted by other citizens ot
Omaha , nuciy of them fellow countrymen
of the visitor.
WELL PLEASED.
To a Bee reporter Mr. Daly said : "This Is
the most western point in the United States
I have ever vlsltcJ , and I am aure from the
good thlnpa that I have heard about your
city that I shall enjoy my short fltay here.
On my previous trip to the United States I
visited St. Louis , but did not get up thlij
way. Though I should like to go further west
from here , I shall not be able to this time
as I must retU'n to DCS Moices from hero to
deliver on address that has already bsen
planned. From there I iihall go to Detroit ,
hen through the middle states nod back to
New York.
"I have bean In the United States on this
rip since No.-ember 5 , and I can truly say
hat I have never before seen ouch demon-
tratlor.s of hearty i"cntlmcnt for the cause
of Irish nationalism as dwlng the last few
montl's. In all the large eastern cities this
has been especially noticeable. In Philadel
phia we .had a meeting that packed the big
Academy of Muolc , presided over by that
witty and eloquent Irishman , John Ryan ,
mill after the meeting I wns told that It had
been the greatest mae.i meeting held In that
: lty for a number of yeais. It was the came
n Boston , where we had to have an overflow
meeting. They raid there that there had not
been such a meeting 'n that city for twenty
> cars. It was the same In most ot the other
cities , BO > ou see Interest In the Irish cause
h evlder.tly not on the wcne. In New York
I have besn assured of a big meeting just
before returning to Ireland , which I shall do
about May 1. "

financee , elegantly dressed swept out of the
women's entrance of the Holland house
last evening to take her seat In a eplen-
dldly appointed brougham that awaited her ,
She was about to take a drive in the park
The attendants bowed her out , and a foot
man threw open the door of the carriage.
"Isn't she a beauty , " was the remark of a
mild-looking young man , dressed In the ex
treme ot fashion , to a companion , Tbe re
mark was ostensibly Intended to be an aside
but Miss Clemmo&'e quick ear caught It aud
a fialf cmlle of gratification played abou
her daintily curved Una. She paused a mo
mcr.t , and before she realized what bad
happened one of the two young men r.llppcd
two neatly folded papers Into her glovcO
hand , and she knew that she was "served. '
The mocking laughter of the strangers rang
In her ears. Clutching tbe papers mccbaiv
Ically , she entered her carriage and we <
driven away. The papers were those In thi
suits ot an actress named Mary Croxton
who sues Ml'is Cleminons and William F
Cody , better known as "Buffalo BUI. " foi

Is that they were engaged fcv a full theatrl
cal season In 1S93 to support Mle.1 Clemmom
In her play , "A Lady of Venice , " and tha
they were discharged without reason befori
the seatou began. Each uea for a ful

Several changen have recently conic about
at the Omaha public library for tltc better
Bcrvlco of the public. Tbe new card cata
logue , capable ot Indexing 120,000 volume * ,
was set up lost week at the left of the en
trance. One will find In It reference to ma
terial on almost any subject ot pceslblc In-
tcrcijt. The card catalogue formerly used ,
which had a capacity of 80,000 , has become
too small and now doe * duty for pamphlets
and circulars. A number of changes have
also been made In the system of cataloguing
BUbjecte In the Interest of economy or space
ind for greater convenience. For Instance.
Instead of giving references under the head
ot "Constitution , " the catalogue refers ( tic to
the heading of a country. Ttie new head
ing , "Sways , " for articles upon unassign
able subjects has also berti created and
there have been a number of other technical
but useful changes.
The exhibits lu the Byron Reed room arc
being rearranged and condoned. Some of
the coins , of which the collection has a
largo variety , have bcon crowded together
to make room for a number of tncJala and
old public documents \\tilcli have not before
been glvco prominence. Some of tde most
Interesting of these , the presence of which
In the library has not been generally known ,
Is a grant ot land In the original from
William Pt > nn and also a bull from the
pope , dated 1678 , permitting the marriage
of cousins In a certain case. |
The library Is making an effort to add to
Its files what Is lacking to a cmipletc supply
ot references mentioned In Poole's Index.
It already han a good portion of the maga
zine volumes referred to In that work. Rep
resentative D. H. Mercer Is making an effort
to complete the collection of public docu-
mcntn.
A large amount of time Is being devoted
by the library attendants lately to supplying
material foe High school eo&iys which will
soon be due for the year. The students
liavo their subjects In the reference room
and within a few days all the material In
the library touching the subject Is placed
at their command.

An Inquest was held over the body of the
man who was found asphyxiated In a lodg
ing house at 104 South Eleventh street Tues
day. The jury brought In a verdict of ac
cidental suffocation.
Mrs. Stockwcll , who rune the lodging
house , Officer D. J. Ryan and Alonzo McKay ,
a colored man , were the witnesses. McKay
met the unidentified man In Goldsmith's sa
loon Monday night and directed him to Mrs.
Stockwell's lodging house when asked con
cerning a good cheap place to sleep. At the
lodging house the man refused to register ,
vnd when Mrs. Stockwell Insisted upon
knowing his name he gave thu name John
Brang. It Is thought that this Is not his
real name. When asked If he knew how
to turn out gas he replied In the affirm
ative and was ehown < to a room.
In the morning he was found
dead about 11 o'clock. He was dressed In a
black coat and vest and Blue overalls und
were a gray cap. He Is about tlx feet tall ,
dark complexloned and Is badly pock-marked.
To all appearances he is a farm laborer.
Tbo officers found $ G2 In bills and $1.90 In
silver In his pockets and a ticket from
Columbus , Neb. , < to Falrchliu' , Vv'l ? . , and a
check for a piece of baggage. Absolutely no
means of Identification was found on the
body. Nothing < cun' bo learned concerning'
the man at Columbus , but the coroner has
sent for the piece of baggage which the
check calls for and It la hoped that this
will afford some clue to the man'o Identity.
The man had been drinking some and It Is
supposed that he accldently left the gaa
turned on in some way.

Although the opening of the political cam
paign Is yet several months off , there ar
already unmistakable signs of renewed ac
tivity among local republicans who partici
pate In the work ot party organization. Local
republican clubs arc getting ready to show
their strength for the comltm convention of
the National Republican League , which Is
to be held In Omaha In July. In the field
of purely local politics the principal evi
dence of an approaching contest Is the ener
getic work ot three or four avowed candi
dates for the republican nomination for
county attorney to create a diversion In their
favor. The complexion of thu legislative
ticket has not gotten donn to a question of
candidates , and the mirface operations no far
relate solely to the ambitions of several
Omaha lepubllcann ulnjant to he In line
for the United States ticnatnrshlp ulicuhl the

The announcement of Cciigrcssmin Mercer
that he la n candidate for re-election to lila
prcssnt position , representing the Second
congressional dlntrlct In the lower Oouac at
WatUlngtoii , hds stilled thu voices Hint wcro
mentioning his Came ftv thu head ol the
state ticket ad gubernatorial nominee. SOIIIB
of Mr. Mercer's friends had been suggesting
him as a senatorial candidate , but he Ins
written them , stating that It la his K'cutut
ocat In congress tl'at he desire * and that ho
does not wish to be concldcrcd as almkig
at any'.ulng higher.

The two Omaha republicans who do not

J. Greene and John L. Wcbiter. Mr. Grce.no
Is empl.otlc In stating that his ambition Is
sutacrUent to the Interest ? of the republican
party. If the republicans ot Nebraska con
trol the next legislature and his services In
behalf of the party entitle him to re-cognl-
lon , ho wants hh friends to consider him In
he race. So far the agitation In favor ot
ilc. Greene has been ptwhed by others , ol-
hough ho himself Is not holding luck from
mltlng In a few pegs for himself. Accord-
ng to his opinion , the party ought to put
up a ftrong unpledged legislative delegation

WEB3TE ' 3 BRASS HAND.
John iL. Webster's campaign Is being oon.
ducted on the theory that the man \ttia
wants something Is the man who should tfo
ifter it. For some time he has been making
ilmsclf particularly busy In seeing workers
upposed to wield more than ordinary In-
lueuce and caucuses and meetings in tht
n tercet of the Webster boom have
eon regular occurrences two and
hrce times a week for several week !
ast. To help the thing along out *
Ide ot Douglas county the mills of the Web-
ter Literary bureau have bcon reopened ,
while the m'nts are not altogether Idle. Mr.
Webster has put up marly $1,000 for new
uniforms for Uio old Seventh Ward band ,
which la expected shortly to become la
: ame , as lu fact , the John L. Webster brasn
band , and dlcpensc Wcbntcrlan melodies
luring the whole campaign. U Is also re-
lorted that he has gone to the rescue of a
Cearney ncwtpaper with rn advance of $1-
COO , with smaller euma planted in other
ilaces that promise political returns. Mr.
Webster's friends say ho wants to bo
nominated for United States senator
n the republican state convention ,
and If that convention makes no
such nomination he wants his candidacy
ndorse-d by the county convention and the
c ! aatlve ! delegation pledged to his sup *
port.From
From this review of the situation It Is
> laln that although the season Is still young
ho prospects for a good crop of local re
publican politics were never more promising.
