GOD BLESS The T0ADS
Remarkable Relief Sent 10 the Grass
hopper Region Of CamaS Prairie.
A Shower of Toads That Brought
Great Relief to an Afflicted
People-A Story With a
Good Sunday Moral.

BELLEVUE, Idaho, Aug. Good bless
the toads is the blessing to-day invoked
by the grasshopper region of Camas
prairie. This section is the largest farm
ing region in Logan county and has been
peculiarly unfortunate for the past two
seasons because OF the damage done by
the ravenous grasshoppers. Even last
winter the humble settlers had 10 appeal
for aid to the outside world and no one re-
sponded more literally to the cry for help
than the good people Of Salt Lake and
Ogden. This season the grasshoppers
prevailed TO a disastrous degree.
Yesterday the deliverance came in the
form of shower of toads, that exten ded
from the town Of Soldier 10 High Prairie,
distance of 20 miles or more. An omi-
nous looking cloud, suggestive of cy-
clone, appeared in the west, preceded by
high wind, and ended in giving such
down pour of rain as was never before
known in Camas.
With the unusually heavy rain came
also a rain of toads. No estimate of the
bushels of toads TO the acre can be relied
upon. Ii is enough for the grasshopper
sufferers to know that the toads in u
hours have swept the plaguey hoppers
from the face of the earth. The peculiar
shower is the talk of the country round
about. Not only because of its remark
able toad feature, but because il saves the
crop of oats that was approaching the
harvest. The wheat crop had already
been seriously damaged by the grass
hoppers.
There is another remarkable feature.
Last week Professor Bruner, of the Ne
braska university, and corps of ento-
mological experts visited the prairie and
gathered three or four bushels of
the pests. Promptly submitting
them To narrowing microscopical
examination on the spot, gentlemen who
are eminent in their chronological quail
ficatons, AT once discovered that the pests
| were suffering from disease which
would evidently rid the country unless
some healthy specimens, who had strayed
away before the disease appeared, should
return with another swarm. The disease
being somewhat untrustworthy in its work
of death and destruction 10 the pests, the
learned gentlemen wrote an extensive re-
port 10 the general government asking
that the agricultural department take the
matter in hand and acclimatize q
fungus which inoculates the pests
with n disease which is sur,
death To the last of them
This fungoid growth spreads rapidly
but where an immediate effect is desired
over a large extent of country it proves
too slow.
To effect this, the gentlemen referred
to recommended that specimens of tho
fungus be planted on every section o.
land at least. and at the public expense
II this should he done the grasshopper.
would never trouble the prairie again, bu
the phenomenal shower of toads hai
solved the problem. The people of TIN
prairie are now rendering thanksgiving
to the toads, where they were before
praying for fungi.

TARSNEY'S WAR RECORD.
Missouri's Representative In Congress
Scores His Enemies.

WASHINGTON, Aug. .. Mckinley from
the committee on rules reported and the
house adopted resolution setting apart
Thursday and Saturday next for the con.
sideration Of bills constituting eight hours
a days work and relative to the alien con-
tract labor.
Tarsney of Missouri, rising To ques-
ton of privilege, sent TO the clerks
desk and had read letter in the National
Tribune denying that he had been
wounded at Gettysburg or ever had been
in Andersonville. He also had read a
series of resolutions adopted at "A meet
ing of the ex-prisoners OF the
war association at Cleveland, Ohio,
denouncing him as villiiier, and reiter-
ating the statement that he had not been
wounded at Gettysburg. He said he
wished To deny the statements contained
in the letter and resolutions. He had
been stricken down al Gettysburg and
was taken prisoner on the 2nd of July,
1863. He remained a prisoner until the
2lst of November, 1864. lie produced
copies of the official records of the war
department in support of this statement.
The house then resumed consideration
of the land bill which caused considerable
floor To close the debate in opposition To
the bill. He said that the gentleman
from Iowa (CongerD had praised the agri-
cultural paper edited 10y Wcdderburn.
He could understand why the gentleman
was so interested. Here exhibiting a
copy of the paper was the gentleman s
picture. Nine-tenths Of that paper was
devoted 60 that picture and 10 arguments
in favor of the bill. He made no charge
against Wedderburn. He himself wanted
the evidence called for by his resolution
offered yesterday. He would AT the proper
time offer a resolution asking for an in
vestigation as 10 what influence controlled
the postmaster general in Withholding
that evidence. The gentleman from
| Iowa and hs friends had stopped informa.
ton from coming TO the house. In the
COURSE of conversation the gentleman
had SO admitted.
Congcr Indignantly denied the correct
ness of this statement and Mason a.
warmly reiterated il. For few minute,
the gentlemen contradicted each Other
with greater bluntness than pollteness
much 10 the amusement of the house.
On motion Of Mason an amendment
was adopted striking from the bill I'll,
clause preventing the Use of cask,
a second time. Also an amendment allow
ing the use Of brands, lard compound,
or "compound lard"
| Hayes of Iowa, moved TO amend by
striking out all after the first section de
filming lard and inserting the provisions o
the Paddock bill.
Brosius raised point Of order agains
the amendment on the ground that IL wa
not gcrmane. The speaker sustained TN
point of order.
Mason appealed from the decision. Tn
decision of the chair was sustained by tn
house. The question then REQUIRED ol
the ordering of the bill engrnsscd an,
read "A third time. II was agreed To. o.
the passage o. the bill the vote stood IL
TO 46-no quorum. The house then nc
iourned and the bill comes up agai
Monday.

PHLIPsBURG, Mont, Aug. 23.-The
Combination company's mill at Black
Pine closed down to-day at 6p. IN. for
want of ore, none being hauled on ac-
count of the road being blockaded. The
diamond drill was also hung up for the
want of water, and unless the blockade is
soon raised the mine will also be shut
down. or at least number of men will
be laid of. There is no change in the
situation and the probable course of the
company will be to have the district court
appoint appraisers and pay the amount
Of the report Of the damages
Coulthurst has sustained by reason Of
the road crossing the claims. This will
take several days and possibly may be
prolonged 10 weeks. In the meantime
about one hundred men will be idle.
W. II. Young, J. ID. Thomas, J. p. Reins
and Thomas Couch, all Butte gentlemen
came over to-day and some of them will
remain some time. For the honor of their
visit thanks are probably due To Philips
burg's many idle prospects and great un-
developed resources.

BERLIN, Aug. Gi.-To-night's news from
Pcierhon creates the distinct impression
that the imperial meetings held have had
highly satisfactory result for Emperor
William. The officials of the foreign Of
flee here maintain absolute reticence re-
gartling the nature Of the German en-

was an immense political significance in
the interview.
Advlccs from various reliable sources

peror William desires that another Eu-

emperor's ovcrtures fAvorahly. Since

Won Caprivi communications have been
passing between the authorities here and
at Vienna with view to expediting a
meeting Of Emperors William and Fran

Austrian official circles regard the i'm
pending change in the position with in

ability Of holding another European con-
gress and profess incredibly as To the em-
