A PECULIAR CRIME
A Young Girl Is Shorn of Half Her
Hair While Sleeping.
A FARO BANK HELD UP BY ONE MAN.


NELlan, Neb., Sept 23.-This city

state and there Is no clew as to the
identity Of the perpetrator The entire
family Of W. O. Brown has been worn
out with watching at the bedside OF
a sick child, and when opportunity
offered slept more soundly than
usual. When Miss Jennie Brown, q
girl just budding into womanhood,
awoke, she discovered that during the
night she had been shorn OF one Of her
principal charms, by some one who
had come in through the window dur
Ing the night. When she went to
slcep tho night before she was
possessed Of beautiful head Of
hair, which was the envy of all the
women In town. One.half OF II was
gone, the thief evidently being afraid
to disturb her sufficiently to procure
the portion from the side OF her head
which lay on the pillow The hair on
the exposed side Of her head was cut
of close TO the scalp and the thief had
taken his fight without waking any
one In the house.

KANSAS CHINcH BUGS.
A Simple and Inexpensive Way Of Fight.
Ing the Pest.

A Simple and Inexpensive Way Of Fight
Ing the Pest.
A Kansas agricultural correspondent
says that he has Just saved e5 acres
Of splendid corn from the ravsges Of
the chinch bug by q very simple and
inexpensive expedient. On the east Of
his corndeld, and separated from II BY
q l6-foot lane, was wheat field Of 40
acres. Twoor three days before cutting
he mixed salt and coal oil In vessel,
putting> from one-half pint to one Of
coal oil to one-half bushel Of salt He
then made q line with this salt the whole
width ofthe cornfeld 100 rods) through
the center OF the lefoot lane. The
line OF salt was about inches wide at
the base. He then bored holes with .
post auger about . rods apart, to .
depth OF about inches or foot The
top Of each hole was trimmed with
knife leaving the mouth Of the hole
funnel-shaped and smooth. As soon
as the wheat was cut, about quart Of
water was poured into each hole, and
topped with small quantity Of coal
oil. The holes were on the side next
to the wheat field, and close to the
salt line. As soon as the bugs meet
the salt line they follow It each way
until they come to the holes, into
which they tumble by the thousand. As
the successful experimenter with this
simple trap describes IT. "They don't
crawl In the hole, but as soon as they
strike the smooth surface at the top
they lose their first hold and roll over;
and as there is constant pressure
from the enormous line toward the
hole, they look like wheat going into
a hopper as they pour over the brink"
A boy should be in attendance on the
line, to dip out the dead bugs before
the hole becomes too full, and to re-
plenish the water and coal oil In the
holes when necessary. A little coal oil
should be poured on the line once .
day, and the line should be remade
after each rain. The mouth Of the
hole should be kept smooth. Tit Is
dry and cracked handful Of dust
should be sprinkled around the edges
occasionally. The bugs cannot cling
to IT, and tumble in as soon as they
touch II.
