Several of email principalitiet of Germany contained toldiert which they hired out to neighbor ing nationt. much at slave holders of the south uted to rent their negroet for the teason to surrounding planters. From Hesse King George procured lot of these hirelings which were loaded on board ship and sent across the Atlantic to prevent American farmers from obtaining their liberty. It was bad enough for these Hessians to come over here and kill men for aspiring to freedom, but the curse of their coming did not stop with this crime against civilization. As bedding for their animajs they brought over a lot of straw in which was hidden an enemy far worse than the hireling soldiery and one destined to . confer up on the detested name of Hessian an im mortality of infamy. It was the larvae of a fly which, first hatched on Long I Island, was to spread to every part of the American continent and afflict count less genarationsof grain growers.. It was one hundred and twenty-five years ago that this pest was first noticed, but since then millions of farmers have become ac quainted with it, to their sorrow in every section of. this country. Long after the Hessian soldiers had been killed or sent back home, their namesake continued by ts ravages to make it impossible for any VICTIM (Bcrlppi Newt Association) LaCrosse, Wis., Dec. g.

NAVAL CADETS MUTINIED Odessa, Dec. 8. 600 navel cadets mutinied at Sebastopol and seized the cruiser Saratoff and weighed anchor for Kertzch. Before they succeeded inleaMng the harbor, Admiral Chouknin, mustered sufficient forces to hold the mutineers.

Forbes, one of he most prominent Presbyterian church workers in the city, dropped dead this afternoon from heart disease, just as Dr. Hill be gan to read the funeral service at the First Presbyterian Church for Kenneth Mackenzie. ' She was the wife of Rev. W. O. Forbes Presbyterian missionary, formerly ol Forbes church, and had a host of friends here, who will be shocked at the news of her sudden death. Dr. Hill was uttering the words af the text, "Boast not thyself of the morrow. for thcu knowest not what a day will bring forth," when Mrs. Forbes wss.tesn to stagger. She placed her hand over her heart and then tank back in her pew S )mi of her friends in the rear of the church where she sat carried her out but when they reached the open air they found that she was dead.

Chute, a merchant of Durkee. was here yesterday and to a number of acquaintances stated that if all things come right he would seek the domocra uc nomination in the primaries' next April for tie office of Sheri'.-Bake City Democrat A FRAUD PACKERS BErOR wheat farmers to forget the odious mem ory of King George's hirelings. Ill things grow rapid'y and spread wide' ly. For a time conlned to the Atlantic seaboard, the Hessian fly spfean with the progress of development and followed the plow and harrow to every point where wheat was grown in the west north and south. If a court of arbitration should assess damages against the English gov ernment for all the less caused by its im ported nuisance, the Alabama award and the Freneh indemnity ,. to Germany would sink into insignfleince. All the wealth of England would not be able to pay the debt Many timss it has com pletely destroyed the growing wheat 1 certain sections and the average loss .t now causes is about 40.000,000 bushels annually or about seven per cent of the total crop. In spite of the best efforts of our scientists and the farmers who act on their advice, this pest got beyond con trol during the season of four years ago and destroyed fully 80 per cent of the crop in tne infested region, witn a re sultant loss of nearly $40,000,000. How large are the results from apparently insignificant causes, Had the thickhead ed Hessians been content to bring over their unwiedly bodies, leaving their straw behind, wa should perhaps have escap d the ravages of this earliest and worst cf all the crop enemies that have afflicted the industrious farmers of America.
