Rioting in Chicago Due to Strikers Chicago, 111., Aug. 19.-Strong in? fluences are being exerted in councils of labor Leaders, in favor of extending sympathetic strike of teamsters. Several officers of the teamsters are earnestly urging that line of action. The chances are against the spread of the strike, because President Donnelly and National President Shea, of teamsters are opposed to it. Both say it would not materially help the stock yards strikers. Donnelly claims that they can win without involving any more outside men. No talk heard of peace negotiations. Chicago, Aug. IS.-The fiercest riot of the stock yards strike occurreed this evening, when hungry dwellers of the packing house district sought to capture and kill eight steers which had escaped from the yards. The mob numbered 40,000 persons and the streets were cleared only atfer 120 policemem, in five squads, had charged the rioters on four sides. Shots were fired and scores of rioters were clubbed. A bullet grazed the cheek of Po? lice Lieut. George Prim and a police sergeant was stripped of his star and j club by a woman rioter.. One man was so severely battered that he was sent to the Englewood Union hospital. Few arrests were made, as the police contented themselves with dispersing the mob. The temper of the police was shown, however, when a call for reenforcements was j answered by a j number of patrol wagons, followed by an ambulance. In no previous riot j were clubs used so freely. FlfillTIHP THE BOLL WEEVIL Prof. Chambliss, of Clemson Col? lege, Talks of the Pest. Planters and persons who are aux ions to know alj about'the.boll weevil, the-little insect that is playing havoc with the cotton in Texas, and whose approach is most dreaded in this sec? tion, will very soon be able to see bot? tled specimens, also photographs of the insect and their work, in the var? ious towns of the State. The South Carolina State board of entomology, having become aware of the fact that several farmers in their anxiety and desire to find about the boll weevil, had imported specimens and that others had be?n known to bring cotton seed from Texas into the state, sent their entomologist, Prof. Charles E. Chamb? liss, to Victoria, Texas, and there, in company with the United States ex? perts, a study of the bugs was made and sufficient specimens were obtain? ed to give the farmers a view of them without the least danger. Prof. Cham bilss has returned, after having spent a month in Victoria, and is vnow pre? pared to take active and positive meas? ures shopld it develop tat the weevils have reached South Carolina. Prof. Chambliss is now in Charles? ton and last night, in conversation with a reporter, said that he would place on exhibition in the counting rooms of the News and Courier a tnb9 con? taining weevils as shown in the three stages of larva, pupa and adult. A pho? tograph giving different views of the affected cotton and the insects will be placed ila the office later. Regarding the life and habits of the boll weevil,. Prof. Chambliss said that the female deposited ber eggs in the immature anthers of the square and that the larva emerged in three days. An abundance of rich nitrogen eons fcod is at hand and the larva feeds here for eight days within the square, and then changes to the pupa state and remain so for four days. The manure insect then emerges, but as it takes two days for it skele? ton to harden it remains and then cuts its way ont. A week is then spent feeding externally on the squares, after which the females begin to lay eggs. The insect deposits one egg at a time m a hole cut deep into the square and lays only about five to jseven eggs a day, continuing for fifty tb seventy days. The only external indication of the presence of the eggs is a wart on the boll. Three days be? fore the square drops it flares. The time from egg to adult is about twenty four days and a part of this time, about half, is spent while the boll is on the ground after dropping off the plant. The boll weevil that comes forth late in the fall finds refuge in brush and leaves and hibernates until spring. B In regard to the Guatemalan ants Prof. Chambliss said that he had observed them while at Victoria, but that they had not really had a good trial yet". It was not possible to say very much about them at present. Clemson College was the second in sitt?tion in the South to take up the matter of studying the boll weevil, and the enterprise and forethought of the eatomological board in sending Prof. Chambliss to Texas will certain? ly commend it to the farmers of the State. The board, which is made up from the trustees of Clemson, is com? posed of M. L. Donaldson, chairman, J. E. Wannamaker and L. A. Sease. Prof. Chambliss's mission to Char? leston ?ilso includes the study of the rice interest and the insects that annoy and injure the crop of the rice planters of this section. Dr. Metcalf, the botanist, also of Clemson, is also here in connection with the investiga? tion of the rice fields, and he will work with Prof. Chambliss in the study of conditions.-News and Courier. - BUPUU- -Hgi^ I find nothing better for liver derange? ment and constipation than Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.- L.
