SMITH & MASS AM, Walla Wallai Washington. A SAD ENDING. Driven Wild by Continued Poverty a Woman Suicides. A sad story of poverty, continu ed disappointments and finally death, comes from the Wallowa country. The names of the parties are not obtained, but the fac cerning them are, and are !.: .; . h given: About a year ago on il. 'l homestead in Pennsylvania, a ! ; py couple were married. The L: :n was small so the young folks cam j west to seek their fortune. They located in the Wallowa country a few weeks a'go, after wandering from place to place without strik ing a paying location and things ran on from bad to worse until this week when the young woman took a revolver and blew her own brains out. This is indeed a sad story but alas, too true, and yet if it was known, hundreds of people today are poverty stricken, among strang ers and know not where to turn to make an honest dollar. To Prevent Potato Scab. , The result of a series of trials ot thecorrosivesublimate treatment for potato scab at the Indian station are as follows: Potato scab is caused by the attack of a minute vegetable parasite. It chiefly at tacks the crop through infected seed material, -he seed material may be disinfected by immersion in a bath of corrosive sublimate. The corrosiye sublimate solution should be of the strength of two ounce to fifteen gallons of water. The bath should be about an hour and a' half long, although some variations in time is immaterial. Cutting and planting is done as usual. The result of the treatment is a crop essentially free trom blem ish and of great market value. Sometimes a considerable increase in yield results from the treatment. The method is easily and cheaply applied and is worthy of extended trial. A Texan Humorist.

One thing about the band we reard as very reprehen sible. During every' piece they played, quite a number of the play ers stopped playing entirely and gazed carelessly around.
