The appointment was made this afternoon and fills the vacancy caused by the death of Charles Fletcher. Mr.

Newton is a man of mature judgment and pretty strong convictions on right and wrong doing. While his justice will be tempered with mercy, the professional wrong doer, the chronic law breaker, will probably find appearance in Judge Newton's court an unpleasant experience. PLOW UNDER WHEAT This Is the Only Way to Rid Fields of Hessian Ely Where Tliey Are Had, Says K. S. A.

C. Bulletin. Manhattan, Nov. 26. Many-farmers in eastern Kansas are experiencing some of the worst damage from Hessian flies done in years.

In a number of places wheat fields have been so far destroyed that G. A. Dean, state entomologist at the Kansas Agricultural college, has recommended that the infested areas be plowed under. Such treatment, the entomologists say, is the only thing that can be done now, and it will prevent a larger damage from the flies next year. As an aid to farmers who are suffering an invasion of the Hessian pest, a bulletin treating of the life, history and methods of control of this insect just issued from the agricultural college, should be par-tcularly timely and valuable.

That this bulletin, which is the first on this subject published in Kansas, should appear -just at the time of an outbreak flies, is a coincidence. Dr. T. J. Headlee, formerly state entomologist for Kansas, and J.

B. Parker, a former assistant entomologist, are the authors of the bulletin, which treats of the subject in ev-every detail. Since the Hessian fly family came to Kansas, forty-one years ago, six serious outbreaks have occurred. In 1908 ten million bushels of wheat were destroyed by this pest. Five broods appeared that year.

Fewer broods are hatched in unfavorable seasons. Moist, warm weather is unfavorable to the fllies. It is in the maggot stage that the flies do the damage. In the fall, the central shoot of the' young wheat plant is stunted and killed. If the attack be serious enough, the whole plant and the entire field may be destroyed.

In the spring the maggots interfere with the sap flow, causing the heads partly or completely to fail to fill, and so weakening the stalks that many break and fall before harvest. Flies infesting old stubble can best be destroyed by plowing under deep, about four inches. In average years, wheat may be protected best by observing the fly free sowing dates for this crop learned by agricultural college investigators. These dates, which vary in different sections of the state, are at least as early as the dates on which wheat should be sown, to make a maximum yield if no fly were present. The bulletin, which will be sent free on request, gives these dates completely.

Morning Issue. Following its well established custom, The Republican tomorrow will issue in the forenoon that the force may enjoy a half holiday. The paper will not have its usual Associated Press news and, of course, not its full quota of local news. Items, for publication should be phoned in not later than 9 o'clock. Good-Bye, Emmeline.

The currency situation took an unexpected turn in the senate when Democratic leaders decided to summon a party conference at once to dispose of the points of difference and to attempt to unite party members behind a bill that would have the sup port of President Wilson. The conference will begin at 11 o'clock today. It was said by Democratic managers last night that its conclusions would not be binding, but it was expected that the Democrats would be able to agree upon vital amendments to the pending -bill which can be accepted by the president. The second day's debate upon the big reform measure was notable for the absence of show of ill feeling between the advocates of different currency plans represented by the LOwen and Hitchcock bills. Senator Hitchcock held the senate for more than an hour with his speech in support of the bill agreed upon by himself and the live Republicans of the senate committee.

His remarks were characterized by recognition of the Efforts of the president and the house and the Democratic wing of the senate committee and expression of the hope that the senate would find it possible to unite upon a satisfactory form of the currency bill. The decision to bring Democrats together for a party conference was -the result of talks between the pres ident and party leaders in the senate. It was determined that before the debate proceeded further members of the party should discuss the two bills behind closed doors and reach as full an agreement as possible upon the features of the legislation 'which split the senste committee. Senator Owen had announced early in the day that he would ask the senate to work until 6 o'clock each night and to consider the currency measure at all times when special orders did not prevent.

Thomas Queen, in Kansas Farmer: The old hen still lives: Drouths cannot dry her up nor floods drown her. The calamities of others prove blessings to her. The farmers' pests, grasshoppers and bugs, she turns into a product that pays his grocery bills. A product that is the quintessence of delicacies, as well as one of the main staples in the sustenance of man. She is the farmers' saving bank, picking up a lost grain here, and saving a waste bit there, and while adding continually to the prncipal, pays interest every day in the shape of a fresh golden egg.

No banquet table is complete without her presence thereon, while her products disdain not to adorn the breakfast table of the humble working man. She is queen of a billion dollar industry, and if she indulges in the feminine prerogative of cackling over her achievement let her cackle. Her achievement is worth the cackle. Singly an egg is a small commodity', but collectively richer an the mines of Ophir. All hail.

The hen; the helpful hen; Both rich and poor, All hail. Amen. The Edison Talking Pictures. Thomas A. Edison, whose inventions have for more than a third of a century held the world breathless and made the "tales of the Arabian Knights, seem commonplace by comparison, has surpassed his own wonder record of electric light, phonograph, kinetoscope and countless other "marvels by his latest magical invention the Kinetophone.

Youngest of all the wonderful children of that wonderful brain, but requiring the most of mechanical ingenuity, the most of long sustained and determined effort, it seems destined most of all to preserve for him his title of "The Wizard of Menlo Park." The Kinetophone or Edison Talking Pictures, will have their second local pre sentation at the Beldorf theater, Independence, Dec. 1 and 2.

Eighties Lasted Two Days and tlie Rattle Is Said to lie Worst on Continent Since Civil War Complete Relel Victory.

By the Associated Press Tex. Approximately seven thousand federal prisioners arrived here this morning in a special Tierra Blanea. of them are privates, said to have been deserted on the battle field by ot'fi-ers. All the hospitals in Juarez are crowded and reports of hospital trains coming from the front indicate that a thousand wounded will "have arrived tonight. Tr.e victory yesterday was a double cr.e for the Maderists, Villa, the soniy original Contitutionalist in Chihuana, having fought for1 the principles of Franciso Madero since the beginning of the Madero uprising in 1910.

The triumph of Villa gives the Constitutionalists control over the state of Chihuahua. The last shot fired at Bauclie last night marked the close of the biggest and most stubbornly fought battle on the North American Continent since the Civil war. There were more engaged, the line of battle extended further and more dead are reported in the battle of Tierra Bianca than any other in the history of Mexico. The federals are now cut off frcm the United States on the north end from the rest of Mexico on the south. Upon information that a thousand federals wounded are lying on the battlefield, thirteen miles below Juarez, unattended, many of them stripped of clothing, appeals for funds to equip hospital squads was today made by local Huerta sympathizers.

By the Associated Press Washington, Nov. 26. The Twentieth infantry at Fort Douglass, near Salt Lake City, Utah, is about to be ordered to El Paso to patrol that city. The cavalry now there will patrol the international border outside the city limits. Brikadier General Bliss has asked reinforcements because of uneasiness felt in El Paso over of hostilities below Juarez.

El Paso, Nov. 26. The federal forces which have engaged Villa's rebel troops near Tierra Blan ca for the last two days were defeated and routed, according to an offi-'cial message sent at 8 o'clock last night by Gen. Franciso Villa, commander of the rebel forces, to the rebel chiefs at Juarez. General Villa said in the message the federal troops were in a "disgraceful retreat" to the south and his forces had captured all of their artillery, which they left behind them and three of the seven trains, on which they had come to the battl field.

From wounded brought into Juarez and doctors and nurses who have been to the front it is learned that the number of dead and wounded will be very large and that they are without attention virtually. They estimate the federal dead at six hundred and rebel dead two hundred, but there is little reason to believe one army's loss is not as heavy as the other. More nurses have been sent to the front. That Villa is putting to death prisoners seems to be established, only-two federal officers captured having been spared thus far. More than a hundred rebels, officers and men, are wearing federal uniforms taken from slain prisioners.

The modus operandi is to compel prisoners to strip before standing np to be shot, in order that their clothing will not be perforated by bullets. They even make them take of their shoes to keep them from being spattered with blood. Fierce fighting was in progress late last night on the right (west) flank of the rebel troops south of Juarez, where Gen. Marcelo Caravco, commander of one of the federal columns, is reported making a desperate attack on this section of Villa's forces in an attempt to break through to Juarez. At the center of the left wing of Villa's army the fighting seems to have subsided and only an occasional shot is exchanged by the contending forces.

A train bearing six wounded reached Juarez last night taptured more than a hundred pris oners. Rep rts which cheered the constitutionalists in Juarez last night, emanating from General Villa's headquarters, are to the effect that the federal forces were about to be caught between two forces of rebels, that two thousand Sonora rebels "vere reported making for the rear of the federals and that Gen. Manuel Chao's rebel command from south of Chihuahua had skirted Chihuahua City and was advancing on the rear if the fdera It was reported they had already taken possession of the federal lines of communication and transportation to Chihuahua City. After issuing these reports General Villa's chief of staff, Juan Medina, jubilantly declared the federals would be prisoners in Juarez before nightfall today. The result of the fighting about Zaragosa, where Gen.

Inez Salazar 'was reported to be surrounded by-rebels and fighting an artillery en-pai-'ement, were not known here last night. The fighting began at 4:30 o'clock yesterday and by 3 o'clock had waged over nearly twenty miles of desert, according to reports. At 3 o'clock federal shells were falling around a rebel hospital train moving toward Juarez, and General Villa's forces seemed to be falling back upon Juarez. Juarez last night practically was otit of ammunition and supplies. Every cartridge had been sent to the front with General Ortega, who, with three hundred re-enforcemnts, left for General Villa's camp.
