a negro courier was captured not far
from Brcmond, bearing letters from
Mcrrlck Frommell, begging tho ne
grocs 10 organize and reinforce him,
that they might make q stand against
the whites, who would sweep them
away entirely II they did not unite.
TO lnllnmo the minds of the negroes,
Frommell's gang are circulating n re-
port that the white folks are killing
colored women and children. This re-
port Il groundless, and not n colored
person who has remained ut his work
has been interlered with in the least.
In fact, most of our citizens have adj
viscd and cautioned them to have
nothing 10 do with the outlaws, and
they should be protected.
Wade Frommell, cousin of Mer-
al. al LpAth nr of lIilaa Ernn,-
nell, was taken to-day few miles
south of here. These Formmell ne
groes have been II pest to this section
ever since the war, and II Is not known
how many persons they may have
killed.
The excitement here has somewhat
subsidized, and the white people do not
apprehend any general rising, though
the outlaws may commit atrocities In
isolated places where they can not be
resisted. o.
ATcuIsoN, Kansas, May 27.-The
following official report of the condi-
ton and prospects OF crops along the
line of the Atchison and Nebraska
railroad, between this point and Lin
coin, gives definite idea OF the extent
of the grasshopper plague. In north
ern Kansas and Nebraska, from High
land station to Falls City, about five
per cent of the spring crop has been
eaten by the grasshoppers. From Falls
City north to Lincoln very little dam
age has been done. Since my last re-
port to you the country tributary has
been visited with heavy rains, and
from reliable information, We conclude
that the state of Nebraska has never
had n better prospect for u larger yield
than she has up to date. In Doniphan
county, Kansas, they have been more
scvere-at least thirty per cent of the
spring crops has been taken. Fall
wheat is not much injured. We cam
not discover that the hoppers are de-
creasing in number. 1t - true they
are starving, but rs yet the number
Matched equals the number destroyed
by one another. They are moving
slowly their ravages are all principal
" confined to strip within ten miles
of the river.
KANSAS CITY, May, 27.-The grass
hoppers have struck this part of the
country in full force and are cleaning
ali m,I,nor If veuetatjon from the face
of the earth. Crops are ruined, and
fine foliage on the trees even IN the
suburban districts is eaten. Meetings
orn hninU held in various parts of the
countv Nv the farmers. who are at
temntinS 10 devise means whereby
they NAV procure seed with which to
renjont such crops rs can be raised,
Two meetings were held in the Blue
rivor section the result of which
showed concl,isiyely that the farmers
ore utterly discouraged. Their only
hone now Is that the Sests will vanish
m time for tho pIantinp of rye, millet
and corn of which sufficient can be
raised for stock feed. Our city is per-
fnctIv oiive will the nests to-day.
Thev are marching westward. How
MANY are vet to come God only knows.
