BLOCKED BY GRASSHOPPERS.
A Passenger Train in Kansas Stalled
By the Pests,


BY the Pests,
KANSAS City, July 5.-A special to
the Journal from Topeka says:
Last night about II o'clock grasshop-
pers stopped the Rock Island train east
of Lymon Junction in Colorado and
about SO miles west of the Kansas State
line. They covered the track for a dis
lance of five miles, and the wheels of
the engine rolled helplessly. Another
engine was pre- cured at Lymon, which
pushed the train through the five-mile
column, it taking two hours to ac-
complish this, even with the two
engines.
these grasshoppers have been hatch
ing out for two weeks and are not yet
matured enough to rise. Fears are en-
tertained that they will be able to rise
before the corn is hard enough to be
safe and be blown into this State by
the northwest winds from the noun
tains. They were in such quantities
that they covered the rails. 1t is not
known how much territory they extend
over.

Best Nourishment for Consumptives

Consumptive persons are said to be
greatly benefited by the use of Speer's
Port Grape Wine, both Fermented and
Unfermented. 1t seems togive nourish-
ment when everything else fails. The
rich properties of the wine derived from
the iron in the soil on which tho grapes
grow makes new blood and if it does
not cure, we believe it prolongs life in
many cases of consumption. In fact,
cases have been reported of perfect
cures being effected by the use of
Speer's Port Wine.

"When I went to the war in 1861 - said
Senator Wade Hampton, 81 took with me
three thoroughbred stations that were
worth a princes ransom. One was as
block as night, one was a dark chestnut,
and the other was a chestnut sorrel. You
are perhaps aware that my father was not
onlya noted importer of running horses,
but famous breeder of the thoroughbred
as we'll.
81 rode the black stallionat the first Bull
Run battle, where | commanded the Hamp-
ton legion, comprised of infantry. cavalry
and artillery. At the famous cavalry fight
at Brandy station with Pleasonton in 1868
rode the chestnut lie was hard horse
tocontroI ina charge, and he nearly carried
me into the encmys lines on that day
twice. | rode the chestnut sorrel at the
great cavalry fight in the rear of Mead S
army on the third day at Gettysburg, and
came near meeting the same fate as that |
escaped from at Brandy station a few
weeks previous.
MY experience with thoroughbreds is in
time of war that they are safer horses to
get away from the enemy with than when
you are going toward him, especially when
on n gallop, But when it comes to endur-
ance one thoroughbred will kill three cold
blooled horses in campaign They will
go further with less food, go faster, and
show more courage in the face of danger.
have ridden the stations | mention into
federal batteries, and they never once
hinched, All of them were wounded three
or four times, but they pulled through. -

Losing the power to make sounds he evil

The most remarkable thing about this
