The Minnesota GrasshOpper
Trap.

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA May A.-Ex-
element is being created by the practi-
cal workings of the ,hopner-doser,
invented by Hon. A. B. Robbins, of
Kandlyohi county. The machine is
simply a strip of common sheet-iron
turned up little at the bottom, with
the rear elevated eight to ten inches
and the upper face covered with coal
tar, and is pushed or hauled over the
ground. Its total cost is about dol
lar, and experience shows that, where
young 'hoppers are thick, with one
gallon of tar, costing about seven cents,
bushel of 'hOppers can be caught in
a short time, one man with a machine
going over ten or fifteen acres a day
Whenever the tar becomes filled with
'hoppers, fire is put to it, and when
burned off a new coat of tar Is appli-
ed and the work of catching renewed.
The dispatch adds that Governor
Pillsbury, has telegraphed to Chicago
for five car loads of sheet iron and
five car loads of tar, and that it is
believed this their cheap and simple
device will annihilate the grasshOppers
/ in Minnesota.

sold to VIM. Astor, of New York,
for S12, 500, ten minutes before the
two mile race, and broke down, a
ruined race horse, on the final half
mile. The horse McWhirter won
the race In 3 80 1-2, being the fast
est two-mile time on record. Ten

that time. Later-Ten Brooke ran

A Remarkable Midsummer Storm.
From the Washington Star ~
Of all the remarkable storms which
have visited this country during the
present remarkable summer, one of the
most remarkable appears to have
been that which swept over the region
adjacent to WATERFOWL, N. j., last Tues
day. The losses,swhich fell mostly on
the farmers, foot UP round hundred
thousand dollars, and we are told Of
hail-stones that weighed half pound
and measured nine inches in circumfer-
ence. One of these missiles struck a
young man, who was leaning out of a
doorway to secure specimen, with
such violence as to deprive him of con-
sciousness; and instances were numer-
Gus of cattle and horses perishing in
the fields. After the storm the mer-
curry fell to the freezing point, and on .
a midsummer day the astonished ma.
tives found it actually necessary to kin
die fires. 2, ,,,...l- - = :. : =.

Official ENTERPRISE.

The commissioners of Dakota County
let the printing of their financial state
ment to St. PAUL. job Office; the COM
missioners of Ramsey county let the
printing of their delinquent tax list to
a Chicago job office; and it is now in
order for the commissioners Of Cook
County, ILL.,, to send their printing 1o
New York or London, SO that the home
institutions may be deprived of little
profit wherewith to pay their local taxes
and support their families. There is
nothing that will build up town fast
er !han to drain it of every possible
dollar on the plea of economy, and this
policy faithfully pursued soon every
business man to retire upon his iaurels.

Eighty-six men Of the 22d Infantry
were discharged on the arrival of that
regiment at Fort Lincoln last week. ~On
laying their final statements before the
paymaster it was discovered that, having
been discharged after the first Of July,
they were not entitled to be paid in full
and can not be paid until congress makes
appropriation. Some ofssthese men we're
discharged against their will before the
expiration of their time. An eXacting
country has required the hardest posi-
BILE service from them but a grateful
country turns them loose in a strange
country without provision for the pay
ment of the sums due them. The work
of an unusually patriotic congress.

Handsome Donation from Gov. Smith
~ tpsH1al1egd

The Brainera Tr1luae notices the visit
of Gov. + Gregory .Smith. formerly pres
ident of the Northern Pacific, and family
to that place, and their donation to the
Congregational society, as follows:
The governor agrees to donate $500
towards putin gpews il the church, and
500 per year for five years towards the
support ola minister IN it. His wife
agrees to give fifty dollars, and Mrs.
iiSnanahan, her sister, a like amount each
year for Ave years towards ministers
isnpport This, with. the princely gift
from the governor to this society a num-
ber of years ago ofits present beautiful
church edifice and the lots it occupies,
and from his good lady of the beautiful
organ that adorns it, certainly claims for
each and all OF these generous, good peo-
pie the hearty thanks and prayers ofnot
only the m members of this fortunate socie-
ty but of the whole town. The reason
for the interest taken by these persons in
this matter is the fact that our town re-
ceived its name from Lawrence Brainerd, I,
father OF the governors lady and her sis
ter, Mrs. Stranahan.

Fire and Bloodsh1d'

The impudent demands of the railroad
strikers on the Baltimore s. Ohio rail-
road, and the progress OF the not has
been noted IN our telegraphic columns.
To-day we give full details up to the hour
Of going opress.
Pittsburg, it will be seen, is in ashes
or nearly so-the work of fiends in hui
man form, who are not content with
reasonable compensation for labor.
The account of fire and bloodshed is
sickening indeed, and the beginning OF
the end is not yet reached.
Two companies of the z2d Infantry left
this city for the theatre of war to-day and
four more will follow tomorrow. Troops
have also been ordered from other por-
tions of the country but, they will, no
doubt, be delayed by burned bridg es and
every other means in the way of obstruc-
tons within the reach of desperate men.

STOLEN KISSES.
Bald Headed Men are All that

Bald dea0ed men are AL C0aC way
There is class Of men in this CON-
munity who never let anybody else
have any fun. Instead of making ev-
erybody happy around them, they make
everybody miserable. One Of these
characters was on board the train on
Saturday, coming up from the pioneers
picnic with his young and pretty wife.
They were on one of the long benches
of the platform car. Alongside the
wife sat a yonng man Of festive tenden-
cies, peculiarly in men, young and
old, not unfrcquent upon the Comstock.
Well, the train reached a tunnel, and
in moment everybody was in the
dark. When daylight was reached
again the husband saw a fragment of
his wife's lace veil upon that young
mans hat. Instead Of reasoning, as a
philosopher would have done, that it
might be all misthke, the suspicious
