THE GRASSHOPPERS.
The Numbers Killed, Acres of
Grain Destroyed and Their Fut-
ure Considered.

The Numbers Killed, Acres of
Grain Destroyed and Their Fut-
ure Considered.
Editor Lamphere, of the Moorhead
News, spent several days the past week
in the Perham grasshopper district, col
lecting data as to the operations of the
pest. He gives the number of acres of
grain destroyed in Perham township as
3,l30; i'll Pine Lake, 400; total, $3.50.
He says:
"As to the future. The great con-
Germ in regard to the 'hoppers now is
this season or otherwise. On this point
there is divided opinion. Many think
they will deposit their eggs, and if they
do there are enough left to seed the
whole state. Each female lays twenty
six to twenty-eight eggs. They are
deposited just below the surface
of the ground, and it is said it is
done i'll the plOughed or loose ground
alone. The 'hopperS are now copulat-
ing, and if they do not lay their eggs it
must be owing to some reason not now
perceptible. Prof. Lugger stated it as
his opinion some time ago that this was
the last year for the 'hoppers; that
parasite was at work upon them which
site may be plainly seen on the hop
pers. They are small red louise, which
fasten themselves under the wings of
the hopper, in number from four or five
to dozen. The people about Perham
claim that the parasite doesn't seem to
hurt the hopper at all. Those which
have the largest number on them seem
to be as active and vigorous as those
devoid of them. Mr.. Williams, before
mentioned, says the 'hoppers shed their
skins three times during their existence
and thus rid themselves of the parasites.
He claims that he has seen them this
season shedding their skins, during
which time they lie dormant and quiet.
That they shine after the old skin peels
off. and they are then soft. After day
or SO they harden again and go to work
eating. The 'hOpperS eat incessantly,
and their food passes through them like
mill. They are Unsuitable. They have
jaws so strong and teeth so sharp and
rasping that they can eat the bark off of
trees. and do it, killing the trees.
EGGS MAY BE DESTROYED.
In case the 'hOppers deposit their eggs
many of them may be DESTROYED by
plOwing the land during the fall, which
will turn them under so deep that the
young hopper when he matches in the
spring will be unable to work his way to
the surface.
ESTIMATED NUMBER.
1t is estimated that the average num-
Der of 'hoppers in a bushel, little and
great, through the season, is not less
than 1000. If this number is correct
multiply it by 1864, the number of
bushels caught, and we have an aggre-
gate of 102, 43S,000 grasshoppers de-
stroyed at Perham. l do not know that
this is even approximately correct. 1
intended to have quart counted and
upon the number found base calcula-
tons; but shower of rain intervening
prevented.
Another district, at Battle Lake, some
twenty-five miles south of Perham. is
also afflicted with the Hopper plague,
though in less destructive degree.

earths Some New Facts.
The citizens committee of the Eighth
ward has ascertained, it claims, since
the meeting of the ways and means
committee, some facts relative to the
grading of Bryant avenue. 1t charges
the work was done for the benefit of
the Motor company and submits letter
from j. M. Bartlett, as follows:
l have before me a statement of the
case of the line dated April IS, 1887, and
reading as follows:
Total length of line two and six-tenths
miles; amount of grading from Thirty
first street to corner of Humboldt and
FOrty-eighth street, $4,000 yards at 20
cents, $1,000; ties, iron spikes, track lay
etc.. to amount to so, 954.72 for the
total cost of construction.
With the assistance of William S.
King | went to work to raise this
amount,and to procure the right of way,
both Of which were accomplished, and
then Mr.. Lowry did the balance of the
grading necessary. The iron would
have been laid and the agreement would
have been carried out, but for the fact
that as Mr.. Lowry had entered into a
written contract with the subscribers to
the fund to operate the line by steam,
ana the council IN granting the fran
chise, reserved the right to order off
steam, and order on horse or other
power, Mr.. Lowry could not carry out
his part of the agreement with such a
reservation in the franchise.
asked, when l found the big fill be-
ing made, between Thirty-frst and
Thirty streets on Bryant avenue,
by the city after we had agreed to do it.,
why the money was not expended on
some other street. and was told the
party having the contract would not
give it up. The statement above re-
ferred to as dated April 81, 1887, was
made by George w. Cooley, chief engi-
neer Of the NJ, L. & n. railway.

The heavy william in the thrilling

ID. Smith pronounce the words: ''Beast
Maben." Maben and Smith do not
mingle together to any remarkable ex-
tent, and it all grows out of little po-
litical jealousy in the third precinct of
the fourth ward, where they both re-
side. Maben publishes the Free Lance
and whacks away at Smith editOrially:
Smith has no paper, so he con-
tents himself with beating Maben
every time he comes up for
delegate. This happened Friday night
and Maben comes back with three
column editorial in the Lance. in which
he charges Smith with ballot-boX stuff
fling, miscOunting, intimidation and
every other crime in the political calell-
der. A. T. Ankeny, Matt Gallagher, A.
Cloutier and A. w. Lahiff come in Incl
dentally for roast, but the devoted
head of A. d. Smith gets the bulk of
the storm. Smith read the editorial at
the GLOBE Office and remarked: ''Oh,
the beast! That is what he is
known as. Beast Maben! Why, only
one ballot was doubled, and that was
thrown out at Maben's request. Oh,

THE FIRE ENGINEERS.
Some of the Practical Subjects to
Be Discussed,

Tomorrow morning the 800 delegates
to the national convention of fire en-
gineers will begin to arrive. As has
been noted arrangements have been
made for their entertainment Thursday
and Friday at the conclusion of the
business session. 1t is expected that
the fixtures for the Nicollet avenue il
Elimination will be in place by to-mOr-
row night, and it is intended that an
exhibition run similar to that of last
year shall be given by the local fire de-
partment. The topics assigned last
year, upon which papers have been pre-
pared, are of practical ma
ture, among them being the
storage OF intiammable material. The
payment by insurance companies of
2 per cent tax OH their premiums for the
benefit of firemen who faithfully work
to save the property on which policies
are held: the propriety of compelling
cities and towns to supply themselves
with proper apparatus for eXtinguish-
ing fires; the use and storage of crude
petroleum for fuel; spontaneous COM
bustiOn; electric light wire dangers;
the advantages of hose wagons over
hose reels; the best hose; the fire alarm
telegraph; natural gas, and the extent
to which chief is justified in sending
aid to a community unprovided with
apparatus in time of fire. The question
of shorter hours for paid firemen will
also be discussed

POLITICAL NOTES,

The Democratic county convention
will assemble at Turner hall at noon
to-day and choose delegates to repre-
sent Hennepin county at the st. Paul
convention Wednesday. About the
only point of interest remaining is the
choice of a chairman, and it was the
general opinion last night that either
William r. McArdle or w. III. Donahue
would be chosen. 1t is understood the
Wilson wing will make no contest. and
in that event there will not be ripple to
the proceedings, which will be harmony
undefiled.
The HennepiD county Prohibitionists
have decided to erase from their ticket
the name of any nominee who accepts
an Endorsement from either the Demo
cratic or Republican parties. A promi-
nent member of the Prohibition party
said that they had decided on this
course because, if candidate succeeded
in getting an Endorsement from either
of these parties his election was assured,
and he would consequently refuse to do
any work for the ticket for fear of
offending the party who had Endorsed
him.
The names of the unreported dele
gates from the Ninth ward are as fol-
lows: Second Precinct-John Kerr.
Charles Hatch. Third-Gus Lind, n.
Grove, Frank Hortenback. Fourth
John F. WEIGH, Andrew Fuglees, An
thony Shoemaker. Fifth. l.. Janett.
Peter Bushaway, P. II. Finn. They are
all for Ames.
The city central committee of the
United Labor party met yesterday aft
ernOon and instructed the chairman to
issue call for city, county and legis-
lative nominating conventions, the date
to be fixed later.
The delegates sent by the Twelfth
are Caleb Toughy, II. w. Eaton and
William Blaisdell, all for Ames. The
congressional delegation is II. A. BEN
ner, Charles Tufts and G. E. Summer.

LIVED SIX HOURS.
A Scandinavian Girl Gives Birth
to q Child in q Barn.

Saturday afternoon family residing
at No. 1888 Harriet avenue, discovered
that Scandinavian girl about eighteen
years old, employed as domestic, had
given birth to child in the barn. They
attempted to persuade her to come into
the house, but when she got as far as
the woodshed she refused to go any
further, so mattress was brought out
and she was placed upon it
with her babe. Application was made
for the girls admission to Bethany
home, and she was taken there in the
evening about o'clock. Upon the ar
rival at the home it was found that the
child was dead, and an examination re-
vealed confusion at the base of the
brain, producing cerebral hemorrhage
which caused death. The girls story
was that in the barn the infant fell
from her arms and struck it's
head on the floor. Deputy Coroners
Spring and Towers made an investga-
ton, and it is not likely that an inquest
will be held. The child was iliegiti-
mate, but the girl refuses to divulge the
name of its father. The physicians de-
cided that it lived six hours.

ROUSING SPEECHES.
A. T. Ankeny Comments on the
Workingmen's Platform.

A rousing meeting was held by the
Third Ward club OH Saturday evening.
S. A. March was in the chair. A. T..
Ankeny made the opening speech,
which was we'll received. He stated
that the general work of organizing
Democratic societies in the state was
proceeding with good effect, and that
the work in Minnesota was entrusted by
the Baltimore convention to himself, Mr..
Haynes and j. w. Willis. of st. Paul. AS
Jefferson had first originated the clubs
in 1901, and had given us thereafter a
Democratic reign of nearly fifty years..
The result of their reinstatement now
would be to give us fifty years more.
He then reviewed the work of PreSf-
dent Cleveland, claiming that he was
engaged in work only second to that
entrusted to Abraham Lincoln, and
that in this work no state was looked
upon with more interest than
the state of Minnesota. Mr.. Ankeny
then took up the platform presented by
the independent workingmen, and, In
most of its features, gave it hearty in
dOrSement. The eight-hour term had
been first Incorporated in political
platform in the spring campaign of
Mayor Ames, in 1887, and that it more
tndii oil tuIUSS else, gave us tudt SItdt
victory. He claimed it to bear upon its
face the stamp of nature, as being the
equal one-third division of time;
that it had been recognized by the
United States in law twenty
years ago and now lately in
giving the men pay who had been de-
frauded by contractors under it. He
claimed it to be1he important question
now before us in our local public works,
and that it should be treated with
proper consideration.
Judge Quinn followed in an eloquent
speech showing the false pretenses of
the Republican party in claiming to be
the friend of the laboring and produc-
ing classes, and that the only ''protec-
tom they cared for was to protect
monOpOlies and trusts.
Matt Gallagher closed by scathing
review of the acts of the late legislature
in destroying local self-government.

FIRST NIGHT PLAYS
At the Pence and People's-Verno
ma Jarbeau's Arrival,


ma Jarbeau's Arrival,
The Pence opera house was crowded
from spit to dome" last night, and Fred
erick Book achieved another great sue
cess with his melodrama, ''The Power
of Money" The audience was ex-
tremely enthusiastic, and the sensa-
tional situations were loudly applauded.
1.-THE Power of Money! is
an original melodrama, dealing
with the Vaccinations of two
villains who are trying to get possession
of the fortune of Gen. Wordsley. A
train is wrecked and the general is ia
tally injured, but manages to secrete
the fortune. The motive of the plav is
founded on the attempt to secure the
bonds and the subsequent triumph of
vice over virtue. A subplot, nicely de-
yeloped runs through the play, and the
comedy element is nicely drawn out.
The duel and leading roles of Stuart
ForSythe and John Forsythe were
played last night with Mr..
Book, who was applauded
every time he made an entrance. The
play was evenly cast, Mr.. Barbour play-
