Oppression and Heavy Burdens Laid on

Time bringa no abatement of the hard

crime committed by Christian " against
Jew will be winked att and so every inn

heavily taxed But in addition to the
taxation which they share with the rest
Of the people, the Jews suffer several
special taxes. One of these is the box
tax, which is levied upon every pound of
meat butchered according TO Jewish rites,
which means of course all the meat eaten
by Jews. This increases the cost Of mea.

HOPPERS IN KANSAS.
AN INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE
I'm WESTERN
Tell The Gazette Readers There is
No danger, BE Not Alarmed"


SpcClaL 10 Jne OaZcIIc.
Law RENEE, KAN, July 14.-Chancellor
Snow Of the state university Il day re
ceived Telegram from the department Of
agriculture at Washington requesting him
to go to Western Kansas and Eastern Coz
orado and report in reference to the grass
hopper invasion. He left for the West
by 1.-THE first train, and is to be
joined on the way by Professor POpence
and other scientists, and together they Will
make 4 thorough investigation in referen, q
to the alleged threatened grGSshopper raid.
Before leaving, Chancellor Snow was inter
viewed by a GAZETTE representative, and
said there should be no fear IN Kansas
this year from hoppers. The swarms
Of them that have been seen in Eastern
Colorado and Western Kansas are not tho
genuine kansas Red-Legs,'' but a grass
hopper that is found every year upon the
s55fairies of the West, and they can do no
harm. "The Rocky Mountain locust, known
to the scientist rs CalOptenus Spretus, is the
one that does the damage" said the chan
cellOr, land the ones that arc so
alentiful in the West now are the long
winged hoppers, the DissostieTa longippi-
mis- of the bugologist. They cannot fly far,
and do not attempt it. l have no doubt
but the stories about their stop
ping trains are true 4 few
thousand of them upon the rails, VIII ere
they crawl when the nights are cool, would
cause the wheels of the engine TO slip. and
on an up grade would stop almost any heavy
train. The migratory species first mentioned
come here from the Northwest, but they
will not come unless vegetation in Ne
braska, Wyoming and the Dakotas fails.
If they have plenty to eat, as they have this
year, they will remain at nome. The long
winged hopper likes buffalo grass better
than he does corn, and he would not come
here if he could, and ne can't if he would.
No one need be in the least alarmed, for
there is no danger

SAN ANTONIO. TEX, July 14.-Ex-con-
gresham E f. Elliott. OF Northern Penn
sylvania and an intimate friend of Governor
D. B. Hill is here, and talked quite freely
to a GAZETTE reporter. He announced
that there was no feeling
of enmity between Cleveland
and Hill The latter, he salt, was quite
satisfied with the senatorial honors of his
state, and had little idea of opposing Mr.
Cleveland for the pre- idential nomination.
There are two factions in the New. York
Democracy, said Elliott. One IS for
Cleveland and one for Hill Long
bsiore the Democratic convention
81 next year they VIII harmonize
and Mr. Cleveland will receive the solid
support of the New York delegation. Talk
of any other outcome is all bosh. Mr.. Hill
is not 1T ali anxious for the nomination, and
will do all in his power to help Cleveland.
