ALL ABOUT THE KISSING BUG Stale EnininoliiRlnl llrnner SlntcK III * Idcn * Concerning ( he Much Tnlkrd-AIioiit Innet-t * LINCOLN , Neb. , July 23. ( Special. ) Prof. Lawrence Urtiner , state entomologist , ban prepared the following statement rela tive to the so-called "kissing bug" : For the last three or four weeks the newspapers ot the country have been full of accounts concerning the bites , some fatal , ot a mysterious Insect. So varied and sensational hnvo been some of these ac counts that It has been a difficult matter for ono to obtain anything like facts In the case. Whllo I have thought from the first that there was nothing more to the whole matter than what occurs each summer when we se3 occasional references In the papers to deaths caused by Insect bites or stings ; still I was n llttlo curious to follow It up nnd sec the developments as papers one after the other took It us. Now that the "malady" has reached our own state , I have become suf ficiently Interested to Rlvo my views nnd , It possible , to allay the fears of the. public by assuring It that the "kissing bug , " as such , Is a myth. Do not Infer from this statement , honover , that I disbelieve all the accounts published In the press of the country con cerning great suffering and even deaths caused by Insect bites or stings. So near os I can determine the "kissing bug" Benfiatlon started about n month or a trifle less ago In Washington , D. C. , when i within a few days several persons were ad mitted to hospitals and treated for troubles that were evidently the result of Insect bites or stings. But juat what particular Insect was the criminal seemed very doubtful. Singularly enough , at least , FO say the news papers , at this stage In the history whllo ono of the government entomologists was nt work In the evening after lamplight ho was bitten by a bug on the wrist. Luckily the culprit was captured nnd saved for a specimen. Next day the blto became In flamed and someone suggested the possibil ity of the Identity of this and other cases of Injury. The Insect captured by the. ento mologist was the one known as mclnnolcstos plclpcs , which translated Is the pltchy-toolol black pirate. Several cases having occurred where the persons attacked wcro bitten on the lips , the name of "kissing bug" was suggested by someone. Of course , the next and easy thing to do was to couple the two names together nnd force them on the un fortunate Insect whoso name , as just given above , seemingly would bo calamity enough for ono small bug. The creature in question belongs to the same order of Insects as the bedbug and common ' 'stink buglf' known to everybody , but to a different family. The pitchy-footed black plrnto is a member of the family Reduvldae , group Plratlna , all the members of which are blood suckers and live upon other Insects , which they capture and kill by sucking their blood. If seized between the thumb and fingers all of these insects will retaliate by biting , It possible , and the wound thus Inflicted Is by no means a gentle - tlo one , since when thus roughly handled they Inject Into the wound a whitish fluid tfiat greatly Irritates. I have myself been several times bitten when handling these Insects , with the rcHiilt ot suffering from a slightly swollen hand nnd even a benumbed arrri for several hours 'afterward. But I never for a moment feared that I was about to die from such a blto. The Insect In ques tion Is about one-half Inch in length , quite active nnd more nocturnal than diurnal In Us habits. As stated above , records of deaths from Insect' bltea are of not infrequent occurrence every year , hence there must bo some foun dation for such reports there must bo a cause for their deadly nature. Blood pol- nonlng may result from a variety ot begin nings. If a sta.bto fly alights1 upon an an imal that has died from a disease llko an thrax , feeds for a moment , then flies oft nnd later alights upon and pierces the skin or llcsh of a person the effect Is liable to result In blood poisoning. Decaying flesh In Itself Is considered poisonous and Is ca pable of blood poisoning , as any physician can attest who has worked In n dissecting room. Several species of flics , mosquitoes nnd gnats may thus Inflict wounds In whloh nt the same tlrao they unintentionally In- Hort germs that produce blood poisoning , those germs having been picked up by those insects whllo feeding upon dead animals. Precautions should be taken , then , to bury or othorwluo remove uir dead animals as quickly as possible , and especially should this be done during warm weather nnd In case of those dying from contagious and In fectious diseases , such as anthrax , glanders , cholera , etc. Should a person bo bitten or stung by a "mysterious bug" Immediate measures ought to be taken to obtain relief. It this Is done no dire result Is apt to follow. This last ( Uiggcatlon Is especially to 'bo observed when other cases of harmful attacks are known to have occurred. The same source of In fection la liable to furnish material1 and uprcad In different directions through the uam.0 , elmllar , or even different agencies. LAWRENCE BKUNER.

( Special. ) The Inst week has demonstrated beyond a doubt that the farmers who live under the Irriga tion canals have satisfied themselves that Irrigation pays and the demand for water under the Gothenburg and Cozad canals for the last week have been such that 'they have hardly been able to run and have laterals built fast enough to supply the demand. Thousands of acres of corn have been watered during the last week and the growth has been Immense. The corn all over this section Is about waist high and , whllo a great deal of It has rolled during the day on account of the dry weather , the Irrigated corn has made wonderful growth and a largo yield Is now assured.

The clrl of my heart came homo to at tend a cousin's wedding recently , relatew the Washington Post , and she stayed In town for two days ibeforo going back to school for the commencement which will make her a sophomore. It wouldn't bo fair to tell the name of her school , but It's a very excellent ono , where the fashions of the men's colleges are followed , even to the possession of a college yell and the practicing of hazing. The glrl of my heart was hazed Inst fall. She did not faint when the girls touched her arms with a bit of Ice and said they were branding her with an Iron. She endured - dured tbo ordeal so smilingly that the glrle at last determined to do something dreadful. They marched her through dark halls , blindfolded as she was , opened n closet door In a physical laboratory , snatched the bandage - ago from her eyes , pushed her In , locked the door and loft her In the arms of n skeleton. Now , a tikcloton to her Is no more terri fying than a hoopsklrt , but she saw nn op portunity to amuse herself. She Is ono of the cleverest amateur actresses Washing ton possesses. She lot down her hair and tangled It about her face. Her gown was an old one , so she sacrificed It and tore It to tatters. Then she waited. Presently she beard the girls returning. She began to croon softly to herself a wolrd song. The girls opened the door. She took no notice of them , but wont on lavishing kisses on the grinning skull , laughing Idiotically to her self the while. Finally ono of them whispered. "Girls , aho's raving mad ! " That was the cue for the girl of my heart. She raved ; the tore her hair ; she Hhrlcked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton ; fihe laughed ; she flung herself about , and finally danced out into the room , moaning In a blood-curdling way. The girls dared not oven breathe. They were ghastly. They clung to each other and shuddered. The girl of my heart danced to the door , caught up a knlfo from a table , waved ( t with a hideous scream and sprang at them. Then , as they huddled together In a perfect agony of fright , vbo dropped the knlfo and opened the door. "Well , glrla , " she Bald , drawllngly , "I hope you've enjoyed the fun , I'm sure I have , " Then she disappeared and a dozen crest fallen girls , too frightened to dare to go into hysterics , too much relieved to bo angry , stole quietly away.
