lief was that all the mining companies

cents per ton to their men. Since that
time there are notices up from the Nell

Brooks. Whether the other operators
will fall to Brooks is not known. At
Haydonville, three miles north Of this
place, the miners are out. They num-

with miners. They all speak against

all the men lying idle at this time. The

To-day our delegates go to Straitsville
to the union meeting held twice year,
on the first of January and July. No
doubt but that they will make some ar

The Death of the Hopper.

Reports from all parts of the State are
to the effect that nearly all eggs deposi-
ted by grasshoppers had Matched during
the recent warm weather, and that the
storms and cold weather last week was
the means Of destroying the young hop
pers. The reports are so we'll substan-
tiated as to leave little doubt that we
will be relieved of much of the trouble
anticipated from these pests next spring.
We have talked with men from all
parts of Saline, and from adjoining
counties, who assured US that they had
personally investigated the condition of
the egg deposits in their localities. and
they had found that in most cases the
eyes, backs and legs of the young grass
hoppers had formed, but life was ap-
parently extinct. The indications are
that this section will be comparatively

week days be a sheet of four pages, and on SUM-
days sheet of eight pages, or Sc broad columns;
while the weekly edition will be sheet of eight

are already familiar to our friends.

advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the
su ubstitution of craftsmanship, wisdom, and in
tegrlty for hollow pretence, imbecility, and
fraud i'll the administration of public affairs. 1t
will contend for the government of the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the ballot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military vio-
lence. 1t will endeavor to supply its readers
asbOdy not for from million of souls-with the
most careful, complete and Trustworthy ae-
| counts of current events, and will employ for
| this purpose numerous and carefully selected
| staff of reporters and correspondents. Its re-
ports from Washington, especially, will be full
accurate, and fearless and it will doubtless con-

who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give them, while
| it will endeavOr to merit the confidence of the
public by defending the rights of the people
against the eneroachments of unjustiied power
