OmIn0us Reappearanee or the Terrible
Pest In Minnesota.

A gentleman just from the grass
hopper country furnishes the Repu6-
Licdn some facts. He visited Marshall,
ShIek, Burns, and other points along
the western end of the Winona and
st. Peter road. The young grasshop-
pers have attained a working size. and
have begun to harvest the crop. At
present their operations are confined
to strip OF country extending from
Burns Station to SaratOgs, near Mar.
shall, covering q territory of fifty
miles in length and reaching in
breadth from line some eight miles
north of the Winons and st. Peter
railroad south to the st. Paul and
Sioux City road. The ravenous little
hoppers are just at present about half
an inch long, aud will probably get
their wings by the middle of this
month or the first of July. They are
making q clean sweep of the wheat
fields, many of which look as black as
when first sowD. The grain is from
three to four inches high, and where
the pestiferous insects light upon It
not spear is left. One man with q
net attached to horse-rake caught
forty pounds Of hOppers In the short
space OF three hours. Near Burns
Station corn ia hurt some by the
grasshoppers, but not much. Many
of the farmers are planting their
wheat-fields to corn now. Peas are
also being largely planted. The ex-
pertinent was tried in the spring OF
burning over the prairie in hopes Of
destroying the Larvae, but in walking
over these burnt places the young
hoppers may be seen moving about
as lively as ever.

The spelling-bee has accomplished
q mission in England. The COrrec-
tors OF the Press (American "proof
readers"l have had 3 bee, in which
certificates were awarded as well as
prizes, and at recent meetings OF Their
Association there has been q eOntin-
Gus discussion OF "Spellin9-bees and
Dictionaries" 10 which the evils oi
spelling q word in various ways were
shown TO be very serious TO all en-
gagged in literary pursuits. The As
sociation resolved to attempt at once
10 remedy them by undertaking the
serious task OF preparing q Dictionary
Of words Of disputed spelling, giving
each word in one form according 10
usage among best standard writer's.
Gas the Orthoyraphy OF nearly every
work issued from the Eaglish press, T"
says London journal, sis practically
settled by the Association, ths die
tiOuary will doubtless be welcomed
by authors. printers, aud the general
public. While on this subject we
think IL would be good idea II these
gentlemen would touch upon the
doubling of cOnsOnants and divisions
in their work, as no persons have
more experience in these matters
than the CGrrsetors OF the Press. -
The originator OF the spelling mania
proves another of those nameless
heroes who b1ilded better than he
knew.

What are refrigerator For ?

This Is the season when advertise
ments of refrigeratOrs and ice-chests
spread out in q newspaper like a mort.
gage on q small corner lot. 1t was
advertising In the Free Press that at.
tTacted NaDkin farmer into Detroit

toned the fact that he would like s

him with q sunny smile, and the
clerks eheerfnlly barked their shinE
against the stoves as they flew
around.
"WilI you look at these fee-chests ?'i
asked the proprietor, as they came 70
long row.
"What do I want to keep ice In s
chest, for ?" growled the farmer.
"What want is something to keep
provisions cool and nice in hot
weather."
"Well, here you have it. Here Is
the best refrigerator made"
The farmer opened the door, looked
the box over and around, and seeme ed
much pleased with 1t. Presently he
inquired
whats the principle OF the thing,
bow does she cool off the pro-
visions ?n
"You put your ice right in here,
shut the box and away she goes" was
the reply.
lice J" gasped the farmer.
why, of course. You can't run q
refrigerator without Ice, can you ?"
The farmer turned without 3 word,
walked down stairs and out 10 his

hardware man hurried up, and asked.

Cheap Railroad Travel.

As was anticipated, the railroad war
has extended from freigbts to pas
sengPr rates. On Wednesday last the
leading East and West lines, finding
that the Grand Trunk railroad, OF
Cansda was cutting tie Westward
rate from Boston to Chicago, follow
ed suif, and the through Westward
rate between those two points was
Immediately dropped from S25 to SI7.
At the same time Westward fares
from New York were also reduced,
and the whole schedule is now about
twenty per cent. below the rates OF 8
week ago Tie prospects are that
there Will be general break in the
passenger rates, iE which Eastward
fares and the Centennial special rate
will be sacrificed to the general strug-
gle for business.
The philosophy of the railroad situa-
| ti0n is that there is Just enough busi-
ness to keep the American roads com
f0Etably busy il they could have II
ell their own way. But across the
line, running through the wilderness
Of Canada, is the Grand Trunk line, 8
bankrupt concern without local busi-
pcss or any prospect Of future pros
perity. Having no business Of is
own the Grand Trunk is making des-
perAte efforts to win away some of
that belonging to the American roads
by offering rates SO low as to prsc-
tiealIy defy all profitable competition.
It will make no cOmpaets with the
other lines, but plays the part Of q
guerrilla from necessity and natural
selection. The result is that to save
their business the American roads
mustdrop their rates to fight the Grand
Trunk. Iu aghtlng the Grand Trunk
they fight each other. The New
York Central has declared war to the
knife upon its Canadian rival, and
the other lines are of necessity drawn
into the contest. Meanwhile the
American citizen finds the cost of
railway travel reduced to comfortable
harmony with the general dullness ol
the times. He can travel during this
Centennial summer with a degree oi
comfort and economy which will be
as grateful To him as it is improbable
to the railroads. The need of ga
double track, steel government rail-
way from the Mississippi to Tide
Water" that luminous scheme which
inspired such eloqnenee in the Gran
ger Congressman two or threo years
ago, seems to have passed entirely
away. Lender.

The Railroads warning and FrelghtS
ana Fares TumbIlng.


ave are all busted" WAS the re-
mark Of sn official OF one of the trunk
roads 10 H'Orld reporter yesterday.
Eyes, we are in general confusion,
and the reason is that the New York
Central went bsck yesterday on It's
rates for fourth aud fftn class
freights. or course we all followed
suit, and every road has this morning
adopted those rates. The rates before
the reduction were A cents for 100
pounds from New York to Chicago
on fourth-elsss freights, and 50 cents
on specials Now the rate on the
former is . cents on the hundred and
! % cents for the latter This reduc-
tiOn is made tn all the principal Wes-
tern points, and will be strictly ad-
| hered to-"
"Wby was the reduction m ale, and
why did it not affect the first, second
and third class freight ?''
TIT was made by the Central Sd as
/ to be first in tine race and secure some
/ heavy shipments to the West. For
some time past shippers have held
their freight, believing that the tariff
would come down on account OF the
war. Every ruse was tried 10 'cut'
OIL the other so as to secure q good
shipment, and as this is considered
! the dull season, the New York Gen.
trail jumped at the chance of securing
/ large cOnsignmentS to the West.
Erie got badly nipped by. this little
trick Of Vanderbilt, as the intended
reduction was kept profound secret
until all the heavy deals were made.
In few days you will see a like re-
due1iOn on first, second and third
class freights, but Il Is a little hard to
say who will be first TO the front. as
by a general reduction like that Of
yesterday every road must lose heavi
Iy. It is likely that the low rates will
continue until navigation is stopped,
and then they will go up again.
Probably some agreement will be en-
tered into between the great trunk
lines for a new winter tariff" Ship
pers were besieged Yesterday for busl-
ness at the reduced rates, and it Is
said that little ''cntting underp was
resorted to In some easts where the
shipment was q heavy one.
The latest reduction in passenger
rates to the west by the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad has caused the New
! York Central, the Erie and other
roads To fall into line. Crowds were
gathered OH Broadway outside the
Baltimore & Ohio and Erie offices
yesterday. Large plsea-t!s were ex-
hibited, on which were the following
announcements
On Fame's eternal camping grounC

bravely responded to the call, and
