sntcfa! Dispatch to The chicago Tribune
DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept. 29.-William Hauser
suddenly disappeared from his home last
wednesday morning. His relatives, with whom
hc was stopping, were not aware of his wherea-
bouts until this morning, when his body was
found hanging to the end Of rope in the barn
OF his son-in-law, ". Hallnagcl. He deliber-
ately choked himself to death, as the loop
around his neck was so large that he was COM
pelied to bend his knees so as to tighten it, aud
slight effort would have removed it from his
neck and saved his life. 1t is supposed that he
took bis lie while 1aboring under temporary in
sanity. He WAS 81 years uf a1e.

with this there was evidence of the more
constant presence of presiding mind
experimenting every process of industry.

Commission will have its quarters here at Wash-
ington, with Western Office in st. Louis Prof.
Riley proposes to take the area east of the mount
aims and south of the fortieth parallel with Brit
ish America. Prof. Thomas will take the coun-
try north of the fortieth parallel to the British
American line, excepting Montana. Prof.
Packard's field will more particularly cover
Montana Territory, Idaho, and Utah. The two
principal objects Of the Commission are, first,
to ascertain what agency can be brought
to bear in facilitating the destruction of the eggs
of the insects; second, to discover where the
locusts breed. 1t is known that Montana is one
of the fields in which they breed largely; but in
all probability the largest breeding ground is in
British America That country being difficult
to explore, it is likely that the Commission viii
try to secure the cooperation of the British Gov.
