as shown by the trimmitigs and the but-

satisfactory, but tliey will improve upon
that, because Professor Herb, their leader,
knows the necessity and benefit of close and
constant practice, and will see that his men
get it. Ilo is a student of music, and is in
every way suitable to this people, and they

graphed to tiie Hon. Charles Stewart, now

•TONES' WOODEN MAN.
One of the biggest things of the conven -
tion time is the wooden man in front of M.
T. Jones' office on Main street. He is nine
feet and a halt high, well proportioned, und
is carved from wood. He wears a broad-
brim slouoh hat, long hair, whiskers and
mustache. The lips are partly open, show-
ing an even set of teeth, all carved from
wood with the greatest fidelity to nature.
The eyes, nose, ears and brows are clean
cut and the face shows a pleased ex-
pression. Very small shingles serve
to make a coat of mall and in
each hand is held a spike, such as
is used abont a sawmill. It is an immense
figure, and attracted the admiration of
hundreds to-day and last night. A crowd
is constantly around gazing upon it with a
feeling of admirine awe, proiucod doubt
loss by contemplating the close likeness to
man joined to the giant stature of the wood.
It is a most appropriate character, ahri was
made under the direction of Charlie Camp-
bell of the Phoenix Lumber company. It is
not painted, but shows the grain of the
cypress.
CAPTURED THE RASCAL.
Nat Williams, colored, was caught ex-
tracting goods from the rear of the store of
A. Hampe, on Main street, by means of a
long stlcK on which was a sharp hook and
which ho was using to pull the goods
through a back window, this morning
about three o'clock. Mr. Frank Dwyer of
Hagcmann'a drug store heard the noise and
coming from his room with pistol in hand
lie grappled with the negro and they had a
lively tussle, until Dr. Scott, whose room
was In bearing, came to his relief and used
a board over the head of the negro with
telling effect. Officer Fox finally arrived
und the arrest was made, but not uutll the
two citizens had been given a lively contest.
He had succeeded la getting out about $40
worth of ladies' line underwear when he
was discovered. Charges of burglary and
theft were made against Williams and
Justice Johnson held him in the sum of $500
In each case for his appearance iu the crim-
lual district court.

CROPS DESTROYED.
I ' ' • V ... —t-J- 'HYf'l )'"l V, I !
Insects tapping I lie I.lfe front tile Young
mill Tender Stalks,
Austin, Tex., April 10.—The ravages of
insects on growing wheat still continue, and
it is now estimated by competent judges
that 75 per cent of tho crop isi destroyed in
the counties of Cook, Grayson, Collin, Den-
ton and Wise, and in parls of Montague.
These ravages are committed by two classes
of insects, 0110 being the toxoplera grumi-
initn, similar in character to the coinmou
chiuch bug, found in the northern states,
while the other class is a little insect known
all over ihe t 'nited States as the lady bug.
Tho latter class is ilolug the greater damage.
They are now in every field where there is
growing wheat, oats and corn, and gather
111 lari/e numbers 0:1 the young stalks
and soon sap the lifo fiom them. These
bugs have been depositing myriads of eggs
on the stalks during the past few days.
These eggs hatch iu eight hours afterwards.
The little insects are transparent and about
the size of a grain of sand. When hatched
it Immediately begins to suck the sap from
the tender stalks, and in forty-eight hours
has developed into a full grown lady bu;:,
which in turn dies from stalk to stalk and
engages in the wholesale depositing of its
eggs. It is now generally conceded by the
larges t and most intelligent wheat raisers
of the counties.mentioned that there will bo
110 wheat raised in these counties this
season, and it is feared thai oats, corn anil
cotton may meet with the same fate.
The only remedy offered so far to check
these pests is that given by a large wheat
raiser and an experimental and scientific
farmer, residing five miles south of Gaines-
ville. His remedy is to sow a bushel of
coi nmeal to ten acves of tho growing cereal
affected l-y the lady bugs. This meal, be
claims, draws thousands of small birds to
the fields, which in a short time devour the
little bugs. Hearile claims to have tho-
roughly tested this remedy in his fields, and
it has resulted in much good, and he be-
lioves tlint he has saved half his crop. He
wrote C. V Riley, government entomol-
ogist at Washington city, informing him of
the remedy and advising that the govern-
ment give the same to the public press, be-
lieving it will, if apnlied soon, be the means
of saving large portions of the wheat, oats
and corn crops now<»jnfested by these in-
sects.
A TEST CASE.
An
inportant Suit Dccidcd In J'avor of a
Kallroad Company.
St. Lor is, Mo., April T. The verdict of
the jury iu the case of Marcus Lipe vs. the
St. Louis and San Francisco railroad was
announced in the United States circuit
court late Saturday evening. Plaintiff was
awarded $250 for loss of baggage, but tbe
other issues, as to damages for injuries sus-
' tained, were found for the defendant. This
] is one of the most important suiiB of tho
j kind that has been in the courts for years,
and the result is eminently satisfactory to
tbe railroad people, who have devoted all
their energies to making tire case a test one.
The testimony in brief, as it went beforo the
jury, was as follows: On the night of May
23, 1889, the west bound passenger train of
tiie St. Louis and San Francisco railroad
was wrecked at a point near Sullivan, Mo ,
and six cars were thrown down an embank-
ment. The destruction was complete and
forty-seven people were injured. An exam-
ination of the wreck next morning display-
ed the fact that several spikes holding the
rails to the ties had been pulled, the angle
bars thrown away anu the rails so removed
as to cause tho derailment of the first pass-
ing train. Two men who had been seen
loafing iu the vicinity the night bafore were
immediately suspected, and although a
largo reward Was offered for the detention
and conviction of I he wreckers, the railroad
company has thus far been unable to secure
tho guilty parties. A number of damage
suits yeaulted from the accident. The first
one to come to trial was that of Marcus
Lipe. The plaintiff sued for $5000 for per-
sonal injuries and $300 for loss 9' 'jagtr'i^e.
The company made nought in the claim
for baggage, conceding its liability there-
for. The only point in contention, there-
fore, Is as to the bodily injuries sustained
by the plaintiff. Tile railroad maintained
tSafc the wreck was occasioned by the mali-
cious work of unknown parties, and the
idea advanced by tho plaintiff was that after
the wrcck had taken place the employes
of the company had caused the removal of
tlio spikos and angle bars. Tho verdict, as
above stated, was in favor of the railroad.
Plaintiff has filed a motion for a new trial.

Divorce Hull.
St. Lotis, Mo., April 10. — Christian
Jacobs lias begun a suit to ob(aii) adivorce
from Caroline Jacobs, whom he married in
Jelt'ersou county, Mo., February '7, 1873.
He alleges that her maiden nnme was
Krown, and that she deserved hdui and came
to St. Louis, where she is now going under
the name of Kate liruuo.
There is quite a story connected with this
statement. Jacobs, at the time of his mar-
rinse, was a man of some moanH. He and
his bride liyed very happily together for
about three years, when, through specula-
tion, lie lost his property, and his wife then
bepau to act coldly toward him. He moved
to Jefferson count y, Mo,, from St. Louis, but
was unable to lind suitable employment. He
returned to St. Louis, and in the early part
of 1S7Csecured a good posit'on. He returned
to Jefferson county t,o bring his wife back
to St. Louis wilh him, but upon arriving
at bis home tie was surprised to tiud his
house locked up and his household goods
disposed of. His wife had left soveral weeks
before his return. 1'uon his return to St.
Louis Jacobs advertised for bis wife, and
used every possible means to ascertain her
whereabouts, but without success. Six
years later Jacobs was told that his wite
was dead and buried, and be wore crape In
memorial. On the ilrstof the present month
some one told him that his wife waB alive
and employed as a nurse In the Good Samar-
itan hospital on Jefferson avenue anil
O'Fallon street, and for fourteen year had
been known as Kate Hruno. Jacobs ascer-
tained that these facts were true, and now
he brings suitution theground of desertion.
For several years Jacobs lived on Eighteenth
street but a few bloks from the hospital,
but had no idea that his wife was alive and
near him. The woman explains tbe report
about her death by saying that her sister
died in 18S2, aud the story went out that
she had died.
