The Locusta Of Egypt.

WAsHIsoToS, June 11.--Professor Riley,
Of the United States chronological Com
mission, says:
The locusts now appearing In the West and
South are two distinct broods. One Is the
thirteen year and the other il the seventeen
year locusts, and this accounts for why they
have appeared Ia the same years since 1850.
Riley says these locusts capuot do any dam
age except to young fruit trees, on the limbs
Of which they deposit egg. He says The mo-
tion that these locusts win sting human
being = sallacy that species Of digger
w'sap feeds On ths young locusts, and people
have been stung by these wasps, from which
has sprung the story that the iocusts sting.
Riley s.ys that the locusts vii suddenly az

Lives Lost and Houses Demolished.
ABELINE, June 11.-A storm accompanied
by rain and hail struck Solomon valley last

of houses were destroyed. No lives lost.
Four miles northeast, Dennis Morgan and
his sister were instantly killed and their
house totally destroyed. At Bennington, on
the valley road twelve miles northwest o;
Solomon City, farmer named Frothe ham

One of the Star route thieves, who Is al
most certain of indictment and conviction,

nights in bed, nominally afflicted with some
disorder which requires the ministration of
physician. Meanwhile his house is
watched by detectives. Those who enter
and leave it are noted, and should its owner
come forth he would be Swallowed wherever
he went. While Dorsey covers within four
walls the Star route Investigators are forging
chain of evidence which, when riveted
around him by tue Attorney General, will
defy all attempts to break it.

hone, ENDORSING the Eeadjuster platform in
regard to free ballot, fair count and edu-

frming the Riddleberger bill. The financial
plank, IL Is held, does not figure in The con-

the administration will not interfere. The
