Alarming Reports Given out-Measures
Taken by the Agricultural Department
TO Protect the Crops.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The agricult-
ural department is alarmed over reports
just received which indicate that an
other grasshopper plague is to sweep
over the northwest. Orders were sent
to Prof. Breuner, the grasshopper ex-
pert, now in Nebraska, to go to
the point where the pest is de-
veloping but as his work holds him
at his present post Prof. Osborn,
of Ames, Ia, was dispatched to the
grasshopper localities. There have
been random reports for some days
concerning the appearance of the pests,
but the department paid little atten-
ton to these stories until samples of
the hoppers were received from j.
Dexter Pierce of Larimore, n ID. To
the surprise of the department officials
their microscopic reported that the
insects were well-leveloped speci-
mems of the dreaded Rocky noun
tain locusts, which devastated the
west in - and rs Energetic steps
were at once taken to start men for the
infested locality. The locusts begin
their operations in Montana, Wyoming
and the Dakotas and gradually sail in
clouds eastward as far as Iowa and
Minnesota. If Prof. Osborn reports
that there is likely to be .. repetition of
the locust plague Secretary Busl5 will
issue bulletins to the western farmers
to inform them how they may best pro-
tect their crops.

Over the rails.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. y, July to
Late Monday afternoon the body of a
man about 80 years of age was seen to
go over the falls on the American side
A thorough search was made for the
body in the lower river shortly after it
had been seen to go over the falls, but
no trace of it could be found. Whether
it was an accident or a deliberate case
of suicide, is rather hard to determine,
as there is no one missing from here so
far as can be learned. The matter is
being investigated

NOT mrs. MUT7ER's SLAYER,
Her Husband Fails to Identify
Hariot as the Man.
fsrrc,AL TO THE EVENING WORLD. ,


FRIIHoLD, N. j., Dec. 2.-The belief that
suspected OF having brutally murdered Mrs.
Chas T. Leonard at Atlantic Highlands last
Friday, has strangled more than one defense
less woman, has been partially II not entirely
diSpelled by the failure OF the husband OF one
of his supposed victims to identity him.
When Ferdinand Mutter, who owns dairy
farm in Newark's suburbs, read OF Mrs. Leon
ards murder and the subsequent arrest OF
her supposed slayer he was at once convinced
that Hariot was the same man who killed his
wife two years ago while he was away on his
milk route.
He had secured description OF his wifes
slayer from a farm hand, who had been
searched for the murderer In vain.
He visited Farmer Leonard at Atlantic
Highlands and obtained from him a descrip-
uon OF Hartot. So closely did the descriptions
tally and so similar were the muraerers
methods In each case, both victims having
been strangled with heavy cords and theil
faces and heads horribly beaten, that Muet.
ter was all the more convinced.
He hastened here last night and was con.
Quoted to Hariots cell. Thinking that at last
he had surely discovered his wite's murderer
the poor man shook and trembled like a lea
with mingled rage and sorrow. Hariot, or
the contrary, was COO. and collected
Mutter gazed at him intently for few
said:
"It is not the manm
