The Secretary of the Treasury has
authorized the acceptance of the offer
of the master of the CHILEAN steamer
Itata to pay $500 for violation of our
navigation laws in having cleared
from San Diego Cal, witoout the
necessary permit. This is full legal
penalty for such an offense, but its
settlement has no bearing on the 9TH
er charges against the officers of this
vessel, to wit: kidnapping Federal
officer and violating the neutrality
laws.

A Race Between Two Great states.

A Race Between Two Great States.
Ten years ago Kansas and Nebraska
entered on race for supremacy. It
is not over yet. for Nebraska and
perhaps Kansas - has yet broad lands
awaiting the settlers Plow; but we are
enabled by the recent census to note
the results so far. It was not an equal
contest, for Kansas had many adYan-
tages; she had already in 1880 more than
twice the population of Nebraska $685.
096 to 452, 402- and she was almost the
best advertised state in the union. How
does the comparison stand now?
Kansas population today is ,423, 4S5;
increase, 427, $3.50, or 40 10-11 per cent
The population of Nebraska is now ,056,-
793; increase, 6o4, 39t, or 1884 per cent
And still we grow.
Ten years ago Kansas stood twentieth
of the states of the Union in population;
today she is in the same rank, OF at most
nineteenth. Ten years ago Nebraska,
with her less than half million popula
ton, stood thirtieth in the list Since
then she has distanced three of her com.
petitors, and now stands twenty-seyenth

Gophers in tho wheat.

TACOMA, Wash, July 9.-Superin-
tendent Cardin, of the Northern Pacific
Elevator company, of Minneapolis,
which controls the wheat business of
Washington, has received adYices stat
ing that gophers and squirrels are rap
idly devastating wheat in the Palouse
and Big Bend districts, which we've ex-
pected to produce 100000 bushels this
year. In some instances 10 to &c per
cent. of the crop is destroyed, ami I'M
less the rayages cease at once atleast
100000 bushels will be destroyed.
Exercising a Ghost with Holy Water.
For some time there has been agreat
deal of talk regarding haunted house
which stands on the Oregonia and Har-
veysburg pike, about eight miles from
Morrow, o. The house is the property
of Dan Gallagher. who is one Of the
noted characters of Warren county.
The fame of the ghost rapping in the
house spread far and near, and investi-
eating parties were organized, which sat
up to meet the ghost. The rappings in
variably occurred shortly before mid
night, and continued several minutes
Some of the boldest of the Investigators
rushed out to the window, but could see
nothing. The tapping, however, would
at once cease on their approach.
Finally Gallagher declared that he
would fix the ghost. He secured yes
sci containing holy water from the
church at Oregonia, and the ghost was
exercised in the presence of many Curl
Gus spectators, several of whom had
come from distance
The scene was q most dramatic one.
Dan approached the window@and re-
moved his hat, which was the signal fol-
the others to uncover. Sprinkling the
window profusely with the holy water
Dan in tragic tones thus addressed the
invisible visitor:
IF you are a bad spirit depart hence
and never return. If you are a good
spirit come forth and show yourself"
Several minutes of profound silence
elapsed, but there was no response. Dan
again sprinkled the window and repeated
his invocation. Still 10 ghost appeared,
and it is said that no more tappings have
disturbed the rest of the Fries family,
and the ghost or mischievous neighbor
has certainly stopped rapping.-Cor.

BECOMING ALARMED.
Agricultural Department Fears Repeti-

Agricultural Department Fears Repeti-
tion of the Grasshopper Plague.
WASHINGTON, July l3.-The Rocky
mountain locust is coming eastward.
and the department. of agriculture is
alarmed lest a repetition of the plaques
of 1878 may again devastate the
Northwest. J. Dexter Pierce, of Lari-
more, N. D., has sent samples Of the
grasshoppers, which now cover a strip
Of fifteen miles in width along the
British border, and are found to be the
genuine Rocky mountain locust. This
insect breeds under favorable
climatic influences in Montana
and Wyoming, and when great
numbers of them cover the land they
are compelled to migrate In their
eastward march they sweep the crops
as with sickle keen, and devour more
than would support an army in long
campaign. Professor Bremen, of Ne
braska, and Professor Osborne, of Iowa,
will be sent by orders of the secretary
OF agriculture to proceed at once to the
scene and report accurately concerning
the possibility of plague, SO that the
department may take prompt steps to
meet the emergency.

Minneapolis Tribune: 1t is said
that number of the workingmen OF
Ohio are going toyote against Mckln-

they occasionly carry home after a

it right that a man who tolls eight
