Atchison, April 17.-Telegrams and
advices have been received from nearly
every portion Of Kansas in reference to
grasshoppers and crop prospects. We
do not anticipate a great deal of trouble
from them. They are Matching out in
sections, but it is certain that the
changeablespring weather has destroyed
countless millions. The farmers do
not seem to be alarmed, but will make
use of every plan and device to destroy
the pests.
Fort Scott, April 17.-It is now as
certained beyond doubt that the grass
hopper eggs in this section are unpro-
ductive. Careful experiments have
been made, and in addition the weather
of the past few days has been warm
enough to have Matched them by mil
lions had the eggs been good, but not
one of the pests can be found.

years ago man named Phillips in the Massa-
chusetts state prison for breaking into Jewell
ry store in Lynn, represented shat he was one
of the robbers of the Wheeling Bank, Ohio,
where $4,000 were taken and for compeusa-
ton would tell where the money was hid.
Warden Robinson taking stock In the story
Phillips says he was told by the warden that
if he would divulge the place be should have
half the money The two, accompanied by
City Marshal Nichols, went to Sandwich.
Mass, rode out into retired road, and then
Phillips pointed out spot as the place. Phil
lips saysIthat an officer of the prison told him
in advance that the warden was to take him
out and added that if he was smart he would
get away The officers were provided with
shovels and on arriving at the spot began to
dig for the treasure. When the hole had
reached depth of about nine feet, and the mar.
shall was sweating away to make it deeper,
Phillips called the warden to see some object
and while intently looking he was pushed into
the hole. The land was Of a sandy formation
and it was impossible for the officers to get out
for some time. Phillips of course made good
his escape, but was captured in Boston in
about six months and returned TO the prison.
He served out his sentence not long since and
started along the coast towards his native
place, Yarmouth, in this state. Not finding
any one whom he knew or who knew him in
Yarmouth, he went to Cumberland and CANNED
out in piece of woods. He remained there
several days, living upon what he could steal

enough to pay for the boat, but if the man
would come to Portland with him. he could
Sell Junk enough to enable him to make the
purchase. On arriving in the city, Wallace
notified the marshal that he suspected the boat
was stolen, and that he had left the thief on
