FIGHTING GRASSHOPPERS.
Ingenious Way I'm Which the Natives
Dispose OF the Pests.

Consul Mason, OF Marseilles, writes
that the injury to the crops Of Algeria
by the grasshoppers last summer was so
serious that the government has pro-
vided the means for their destruction,
which has been so successfully used by
the English farmers of Cyprus, writes
a Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun. He says:
"The apparatus consists OF long
pieces of cheap cotton cloth, a yard in
width, edged on one side with a strip
OF oil-cloth, six inches in width, aud
each provided with strings, by which it
can be fastened to wooden stakes. When
an invasion Of the locusts is announced,
trenches are dug at light angles with
the direction OF their approach. The
stakes are then driven in lines on the
side of the trench from which the APP
Droach is expected, and the cloths hung
vertically, forming IL curtain forty-two
to forty-four inches high, fitting closely
TO ths ground, and with the oil-cloth
edge uppermost. Between these cur
tains, at intervals of 200 or 800 yards,
open spaces are left two yards in width.
The march of the insects is in a solid
phalanX, dcvouring everything eatable
as they go. When they reach the cur
tain the grasshoppers climb readily to
the point where they encounter the oil
cloth. On this they slip and fall, and
after several futile attempts they at
tempt to clear the obstruction at jump.
Such as succeed fall into the trench on
the further side, and finding the ground
barron of food, usually make no attempt
to go further. The great majority fail
to jump over the curtain, and seek to
clrcumvent it. They thus pour by my
riads through the openings. At these
points the ditch is made deep and wide

Omobn re. Miiwaukec 10.

The Omahas and Milwaukees played the
closing game of their series yesterday after
noon In the presence Of about FIVE hundred
spectators Like the two preceding games
the struggle was almost totally devoid of
life, and there wasn't an iota of disappoint-
ment felt when the last man went out.
The Milwaukees play without particle
vim or vgor, ana it looks just as If their only
desire was to get through the game and get
their salaries and that is about all they care
about Even yesterday, when they had
fine opportunity to win the game, it made not
the slightest difference in their work. They
were the same old dubs from start to finish.
It is but little wonder that they occupy
last place.
Davies, their new pitcher, who has been
heralded as a phenomenon, proved regular
berry. The Omahas hit him at will, and he
was about as wild specimen of a twirler as
has been seen here in many day.
The lumbermen also had on their batting
tights, and the way they smashed Daddy
Clarke right and left was caution. With
any sort of team work, or Judgment In the
lines, they would have pulled out easy win.

The Star Route Cases NoIIed.

WASHINGTON, June 2S,-Thc docket of the
criminal court of the District of Columbia
was to-day finally cleared of a number of
cases which had been on its books ever since
the initiation, among which were
the celebrated star route cases
against ex-senator Stephen w. Dors ey,
Thomas q. Brather and others. Assistant
Attorney Doane stated in court this morning
that there were twenty-four OF these cases
on the docket, and that the government had
failed to secure conviction in the main case.
1t would be impossible To get con-
victions in the cases, and he did not
think the ends of justice would be subserved
by prosecution. He therefore asked leave
to nOlle PROSE- the cases, and the court di-
rected that this be done. The in-
dictments on those cases charged conspiracy
and perjury against the defendants, among
whom are John w. Dorsey, Stephen w. Dor
sey, William Pitt kellogg, John r. Miner,
Thomas J. Brady, IL. NJ. Vaile, A. 0. Buck,

Ignorance i'm Louisiana.

Although the secretary of state OF
Louisiana is democrat, he has the
candor to tell the truth about the intel
lectual condition OF the people of that
commonwealth, says the Philadelphia
Press. He says that illiteracy is in
creasing more rapidly among the white
voters than among the negro voters.
1t would appear from this that it is not
the race question but the ignorance of
both races that menaces Louisiana s
welfare.

Great Interest at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, June 2s.-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. The fight is now all the
talk here. Kilrain has been taken up by the
Southern Athletic club, numbering about
one thousand members and composed Of the
arstocratic element, while it is likely that
the Gymnastic club organization, equally
large and respectable, will champion
Sullivan. The members of the
Southern Athletic are making much
of the members of the Kilrain
party now here and they are welcome guests
at the elegant quarters of the club. Betting
on the result is beginning to be active, For
over month, in fact since the match was
first made the tip was on Kilrain and the
general opinion of the sporting fraternity
was that ho would win. There has since
been change Of sentiment and the situation
may now be summed UP as follows: The
majority here want Kilrain to win, but fear
that he cannot. The news from the training
ground at Belfast, which announces that
Sullivan has got back practically to his old
form, is what has caused the change. There
are TWO or three thousand people here who
saw the terrible right-hand blow that laid
Ryan out in the famous fight at Mississippi
City, and these people are hard to convince
that Kilrain can stand before the Boston
Boy if he enters the ring in anything like

BEATRICE, Neb., June 2S.-[Specal to THE
BEE. Several days since n carload of sugar
was consigned to Beatrice merchants, from
San Francisco, direct. The sugar was
promptly delivered Mt the rate agreed upon
which was according to the tariff established
by tho state board of transportation, or at
the rate of 65 cents per hundred from San
Francisco 20 points east OF the ninety-seventh
meridian TO the Missouri river. Among the
towns named in the schedule are Omaha,
Nebraska City and st. Joseph. Lincoln and
Beatrice were, however, lett out of the list
the G5 cent rate because she made q desper-
ate and successful kick for it,
Now comes tho b. g. M. people
and demand payment for the sugar ship
ment at the rate of 20 cents per. hundred,
which the Beatrice merchants refuse to pay.
The road, thei efore, demands the immediate
return of the sugar unless the increased rate
of IA cents is paid. The merchants will let
the road have the sugar, but will immedi.
ately replevin 1t and will carry the case into
the courts.
From the best obtainable evidence, 1t is
learned that the trouble is instlgated by Lin
coin wholesalers, who are determined to in.
sist on the maintainance of the discrmina.
tion against Beatrice. The basis for the ac-
tion of the Beatrice merchants lies in the
fact that Lincoln is given the Go cent rate on
exactly the same class of goods from exactly
she same point, ana is at the same time two
miles farther east of San Francisco than
Beatrice. The case will be made n test one,
