A Cruel Islander.

Since Vansickle left Genoa, the
Bodie Free Press stated that his
wife had driven him away by her
vixenish conduct. The papers all
over the State repeated this version
of the matter, and it now turns out
to be wholly untrue. Vansickle
stated to Commissioner Hayernor
at New Orleans that he had ex-
perienced no domestic trouble
whatever.

THE LoCUsrs.
The Seventeen and Thf RITZ cn
Year Insects Combine.

Year Insects COMBINE
It is announced by eminent
scientists, that this year the
United States will be visited by
two distinct breeds of locusts.
The thirteen year and the seven
teen year varieties. The general
theory is that they burrow the
ground very deeply and return
again to the surface, at intervals If
years.
It should be understood that the
two broods of locusts of the seven
teen and thirteen year varieties
whose early appearance in this
country is predicted by Prof. Riley
Of Washington, bear no resem-
blance to the "grasshoppers" at
present ravaging portions Of Cali
fornia. The "seveL teen and thir-
teen locusts" are ''ciadas" or char
vest flies" They do not hop or
leap, and fly short distances only,
from bush to bush or tree co tree
They are very noisy, and make
harsh, drumming sound. In gen
eral appearance they more resem-
BILE the ''bumble bee" than the
grasshopper, or true locust The
seventeen year locust is so called
because it appears in great num-
bers at periods of SEVENTEEN years.
Most of the larvae of great swarms
remain in the ground that length
of time, but some of the insects
are seen each year in most local.
calities frequented by the tribe.
They are found in almost all parts
of the United States. From the
time they leave the ground and
become perfect winged insects,
they live only few weeks. The
color is very dark, almost black.
with the edges and veins of the
wings and wing covers orange red.
there is an elevation on the back
of the insect resembling an X
Near the tips of the wings there is
a dark dusky line in the form Of a
W, and hence superstition made
the appearance Of a great swarm of
these creatures an omen of war.
The thirteen-year locust is very
like the seventeen-year variety,
differing mainly in the period Of
recurrence. These harvest flics
are destructive, and attack fruit
trees by preference to other forms
of vegetation. There is no GER
tainty that they will appearin Ne

probably be confined to various
localities throughout the
United States. They are not mi

Judge Terry and Sarah Althea
Captain Samuel was met on Sat
urday by Daily Report reporter
and was asked what he thought of
the rumor that Terry and Sarah
Althea were married. Mr.. Soule
very emphatically secuted any such
idea, as he said under existing cir
cumstances it would be impossible,
however probable some circum-
stances might make it look.
Perhaps they have signed a
contract between them, to be kept
secret for awhile /" said the re-
porter.
Soulc smiled and said the actions
of Terry and the redoubtable AL
thea were ridiculous enough to
sicken the friends of their cause,
and he thought the fact that Terry
has taken up his headquarters in
Sarah's abode was not only very
suggestive, but displayed exceed
ingly bad taste in both him and
Sarah. He referred to the public
exhibitions Miss Hill had made Of
herself in lolling on Terry in court,
and in leaning her head on his
shoulders as " ridiculous, and the
part Terry had in escorting her
about the country did not exactly
meet with Mr.. Soule's appreciation.
He thought Rodney as big a fool
as Sarah Althea, and intimated
that the cousin had been quarreled
with for reasons. IS. F. Report.
