Beetles Creating Havoc III Ilia Spruce Keg-lon- n (if Vet Virginia. Pakkekmu'ik;, W. Va., Sept. IS. For several months past the hugu for-ests of spruce in tho Cheat mountains have been dying off by thousands of acres, causing a loss of millions of dol-lars, and no cause for the devout ion could bo given. A few weeks since Mr. A, 1). liopkins, entomologist uf the agricultural experiment station of West Virginia, w as sent to the devastate I dis-trict to investigate and report the cause of the destruction of all this valuable timber, and to secure a remedy, if pos-sible. Ho lias- just returned, arid re-ports that the timber has been killed by beetles about the size of tie. is. - The beetles eat their way under (he bark of the spruce pine tree in all di-rections, culling off the How of sap and consequently killing the trees. He re-ports many thousands of awes lilcrnlly devastated by the beetles, but says their inroads seem to be on the decrease. The investigations of the entomologist brought about the discovery of a para-site which is preying 011 the 'beetles and destroying many of them. Several species of the parasite were found in the trees devastated by the beetles. The parasites w ill bo introduced into districts where the timber is beginning to show the effects of the ravages of the beetles, with the belief that their pres-ence will end in the destruction of the damaging insects. If this proves suc-cessful the vast forests still extant will be saved, otherwise the total destruc-tion of the spruce forests w,'ill be but a question of a short lime, MININiC STOCK EXCHANGE.

A Formidublo llolt AK;,7.t Congrewman Cannon in lllluoU. . Danvillk, 111., Sept. I he breach in the republican ranks over Congressman Cannon in the Fif-teenth district is growing wider daily. There wero already fourteen repub- lican papers in the district lighting Cannon vigorously, but the list was augmented by the accession of the Dan-ville Daily Commercial, published at Cannon's home, and almost under his own vine and lig nee. The patrons of the paper insisted 011 the editors taking this stand, as they claim it to be for the best interests of tho party. The editorial lie Commercial beaded "Xot for ' created a great deal of comment when the paper ap-peared, and is the solo topie in political circles. The Commercial is the oldest and most influential republican paper in the district, and has supported Cannon for eighteen years past. The only paper lelt hero to plead Cannon's cause is the News, edited by Kldcr Jewell, post- master by virtue of Cannon's pleasure. In the body of the article mentioned occurs the following: Kor the past elK'nteen years tills paper has supported the Hun. Jnmt.. hi;. Cannon as t'ae republican cumliilatj furVmiKvess in this t.

The other counties in the distri t have Ions lu'en cilbnK on Vermillion to join hands with th m in routing Mr. Cannon, but not until now has there been iiny unity of action in answonui,' their appeals. Vermillion county has always been loyal to republli an principles and always will be if principle. Is allowed to control her affairs. Hut ir the mntterinirs of discontent are allowed to continue principle, from a po-litical standpoint, will bo lost siitht of for a time until principle can get its face washed. Mr. Harper, tho proprietor of the Commercial, in an interview had very little to say beyond the statement that the head lino "Xot for Joe" expressed the sentiment of the Commercial. This course of the Commercial was a great surprise to both democrats and repub-licans and carried great consternation into the ranks of the latter, it is tho first bolt in the history of the Commer-cial. : iiiiiiM will! Tje District Attorney Again Turns Eis Arsenal I,oo?o Upon The Wicked Aaulierer. DK. WEST'S TRIBULATION AGAIN. The Old Story of Lnsful Are and Its Fcrsuit of the Elixir of Youth. Tho district court. Judge Anderson presidini;, ushered in the week with tho eriminal calendar and the case of the people vs. Dr. J. .1. West being called Disirict Attorney Varion appeared or tho people and H. A. V. Ferguson for the defense. Tho i.uo that lias been banging lire for si niel'ine attracted a large number of speclalors to the big auditorium, femininity as well as the stioi.ger sex collecting to listen to what promised a racy and dramatic serial. The ago of the de-fendant fnade it somewhat dillicult for tho audience to realie that a romance whh tracing itself ocr the pages of dull judicial archives, but that feeling was somewhat dissipated when the plump form and comely face of Mrs. Dr. West il. made Its appearance in the held. The story of this action Is an old one on the calendar of Salt Lake events. The complaint hid was subscribed to by Mrs. Dr. West 1 alleges that in lSSti, in the full Hush of woman's maturity, shu gave her hand and heart to thu defendant. They had scarce spent the honeymoon when the doctor departed and left her in Portland, saying that he was going east to collect moneys that were due him. Time went on in hurried paco and the doelor never came, lu April of the present year tho defendant found bis heart entrapped by a younger face. The tendrils of love had again woven themselves about his ageing heart and be nought the hand of Miss Jane F.verill. Tho mother 01 the young lady w as sought, and ftr an interview, in which, il Is said, the venerable sudor told of high sen of she conseted. The wedding oc-curred, and the doctor started out on a new era of conjugal bliss. This was short lived, however, for some one had flashed the tidings to Ids lirst w ife, and 011 she camo like an avalanche, of scorn. The doctor w us arraigned by her and then came tho arrest on a charge of bigamy. llih friends w ere inclined to mitigale his limits but the law took them up. Il was said that his idiosy ncracics were so fixed and pronounced as to smack strongly of craiiklsnisoino said in-sanity. However that may bo his conduct was very erratic and excited much comment, lie professed to havo discovered new secrets In the Inborn-lor-and llm weird realm of ami to have found an elixir that held his clieulaife proof against the ravages ot time. This w a announced through pamphlets that urged the reader to call upon him at once, as tho mysterious art would expire with his death. This is but one of a number of eceentricilies that made him a curiosity 111110112 men, and w hen bo was linally nrrestml on a charge of bigamy the offense w as laid to the caprices of an unsound mind. After the empanneliiig of the jury the testimony whs begun, and was fre-quently interrupted by objections that wero argued at length. Tim evidence thus far has made no change ill the general story of the offense, and is still in progress as the paper goes to press.

The official count of Nevada, by the census office, shows that the population of the stale has materially decreased since 18ft). Thu rate of decrease of Nevada has been fully as great as the rate of increase in some of the rapidly developing stales. According to tho last census the state had a population of 02,52(1. but it has lost J7,!HI!( in ten years, and now showsonly 4 1,:l27. Kveu this is a couple of thousand greater than tho estimates made three months ago. The principal cities of the state are all small and, with the exception of the capital, they have decreased in population in about tho same ratio as the whole state. Virginia City, which was the largest in 18H0, having then 10,1T!, is still tho metropolis with a population of :137. It has lost 1.VH), or nearly one-hal- f of its population, Carson City, the capital, now rules sec-ond in size, with 4(isl inhabitants. In ltSHO it had 42211, w hile Cold Hill, which now has only 2073, was then a city of 4.";ll people. Cold Hill has, therefore, decreased more than one-half- , while Carson City has about held its own.

Taylor went to the cooler to get a drink, when Hrenncnian leaned over and made a 'remark which Taylor reported to o Isaac Johnson. Judge Johnson construed Brenneman's remark' to bo derogatory to thu, lady stenographer, Johnson's nlocn. The judge picked up an earthen and hurled it at Isrenncmati's head. The missile hit Hrennemnn on the arm and fell to the lloor. Johnson in tho meantime took a chair, raised it over his head and started after Hrenne-man- . Sheriff Hrown and several attor-neys stopped Johnson, and order was restored. Judge Dowell let the hot-headed attorney off without a line, but gave him a scalding lecture on his un-professional conduct. j luran id Sf! I'lnkertons on the Trail. hist. ;NiSi'pt. 15. W. A.

McKinlcy reported back the tariff bill with senate amendments, with the recommendation that the amendments be in. Referred to tho committee of the whole. After two hours general debate, it shall bo in order to move lion concur-rence in senate amendments in gross, and agree to the committee of confer-ence asked for by the senate and tho house shall, without further delay or motion proceed tc vote on said motion. Tho previous question 011 the resolution was ordered, yeas 110, nays 71. liloiint of Georgia protested against the resolution, contending that it was a parody on deliberation. McMillan of Tennessee also opposed the resolution and criticized the com-mittee on rules for reporting it. The majority iu caucus determined not only that the minority should be throttled, but that the plumed knight should be throttled. The resolution was adopted; yeas, 114; nays, 72. The remainder of tho senate amend-ments to the tariff' bill were put through tho ways and means commit-tee in short order this morning, being recommended in each ease. When the resolution fixing November 1st as the date upon which goods in bond imported should be withdrawn was reached, the democratic members showed a disposition to amend senate amendment so as to extend the time, but notwithstanding the,, apparent unanimity of the committee in its opin-ion that there should be an extension, it was decitled the result desired could be more speedily reached by leaving the matter to conferees than by trying to adjust it in the committee of the house. So as in tho case of the other amendments, was noted and tho chairman authorized to report the bill to the house. The committee on rules following up this action, adopted the McKinlcy spec-ial rule for the consideration of the bill and amendments. In deference to many republican mem-bers who returned to Washington this morning in answer to telegraphic calls, it was decided that an effort be made to take up the tariff bill immediately in the house. McKinlcy then offered a resolution from the committee on rules but before it could be read Kuloe rose to a ques-tion of privilege and offered the follow-ing: Resolved that the clerk of the house be directed to communicate to the senate tho fact that the hotiso of representatives condemns the ut-terances of Robert 1'. Kennedy, delivered in the house September !ld reflecting upon the character and in-tegrity of the senate as a body. Dinglcy raised a point of order that this did not present tho previous question of priv-ilege as would take him (McKinlcy) from the tloor. At the suggestion of the speaker, Enloe withdrew the reso-lution for the present, and McKinlcy reported a resolution for the immediate consideration of the tariff bill in the house. McKinley gave a brief statcmeut of the senate amendments. THEORY VS. PRACTICE. The Belgian Labor Couijress Will Hold Its Ueuionstratlon on Sunday. Brussels, Sept. 1.").
