DEATH TO GRAssHOPPERS.
"ROpper-dOsers' are in Successful Opera
tfOn In Minnesota.

tfOn In Minnesota.
WINoNA, Mimi, July 19.-Prof. Lug
ger, the state entomologist, has in opera
ton in the Red River valley and in Chi
cago and in Pine counties 400 chopper
dosers." The hopper-doser is a machiue
about eight feet long and two feet
wide. 1t is made on the plan of
a dust pan, is of tin and sits on three
runners on which it is pulled over the
stubble by a team of horses.
At the rear of the pan is trough the
entire length of the machine in which
there is an inferior grade of coal
oil while at the back of the ma
chine there is a sheet of canvas.
The hoppers jump into the pan
to get out of its way. Those that fall
into the kerosene and are immersed in
the fluid die at once. while the hoppers
that are merely touched by the oil may
live two or three minutes.
The canvas at the back Of the ma
chine prevents the hoppers from jump
ing clear over it. They strike
against the canvas and fall back
into the oil. It costs the state $3.50 to
make each of these machines.
They can be made by any tinsmith,
and are given to the farmers in grass
hopper infested communities in order to
encourage them in getting rid of the
pest. Prof Lugger claims that with his
400 hopper dosers he kills off an aver
age OF 800 to 1900 bushels of grasshop-
pers every daY.

ABOUT TO BREAK Up.

Money.

The Topeka Baso Ball Team is Out of
The Topeka base ball team is about to
go under unless something is speedily
done to keep it together. The players
are tired of waiting for their salaries and
are beginning to leave.
Captain and Second Baseman Dunn
and Pitcher Brunner will leave in the
morning for Tecumseh, Nebraska, to
play on team there. They would have
gone this afternoon, but found that they
would have to lay over in Leavenworth
longer than their cash on hand
justified. Catcher Clingburg received
an offer from independence today,
as did also Dunn and Drummer,
with the assurance that he would receive
his salary every Thursday night Mr..
Mote is in quandary as to how to keep
the team together. He proposes to get
some we'll known person to go around
among the business men and solicit sub
scriptions If he can raise $500 he
says he can play ball until
September The team is play
ing great game at present and while
Dunn and Drummer cannot be retained
others can be signed who play as well.
It is to be hoped that enough money can
be raised to keep the men here.
Jimmy Underwood, the popular and
hard working third baseman, will cap
tain the team from now on.

MRS. PIETZEL CAREWORN.
The Ordeal of Viewing the Children Con-
sIdered Too Great Now.

TORONTO, July 19.-Detective Geyer
says Mrs. Pietzel will not view the
bodies of the children today. The de-
tective is in close attendance upon her
and will allow no one to even have look
at her if he can help it. She is extreme
ly careworn, and he thinks the ordeal of
viewing the bodies might have serious
consequences,
Drs Caven and Harrington continued
the post mOrtem examination on the
remains of Alice Pietzel yesterday at the
morgue.
It is certain that some traces of mar
cotic were found. 1t is understood that
there was peculiar division in Alice's
two upper incisors and by this Mrs Piet-
eel says she can at once identify her
child
She also says she would Immediately
know the hair of the children. The
only parts of the body besides the
teeth and hair which are at all pre-
sentable are the hands, and on these Mrs.
PitzeI is certain are marks which may
possibly help in the Identification.

SANTA FE EXCESS LAND.
Interior Department Asks 1t to Show
Cause For Not Returning 1t.

Interior Department Asks 1t to Show
Cause For Not Returning 1t.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Secretary Hoke
Smith has decided certain points in re-
gard to the adjustment of the land grant to
the Santa Fe road and has referred
others back to the general land Office.
The question of this adjustment has
been pending for many years.
In 1889 the land office submitted
statement showing that an excess of 700,-
$50 acres had been approved to the
company. The company admitted an
excess of $3.50 acres, but claimed that
all the lands within the indemnity limit
were approved in 1875 and that this ap-
proval constituted complete adjustment
of the grant which ought not to be dis
turbed.
The secretary holds that the primary
and idemnity grants must be considered
as a whole and that the apparent settle
ment of the indemnity grant is
set aside by grants made within
the primary grants subsequen,
to 1875. A rule has been
served on the company to show cause
why it should not reconvey the excess,
and in reply it has made several new al
legations which will be considered
The secretary also points out that
10000 acres really due the Santa Fe
but enormously patented to the Missouri,
Kansas g. Texas railway, can readily be
recovered by the former company by
suit at law

TO BUY ALL CUBA.

Formed Such a Plan.
They Will Await a Proper Crisis
in Cuban Affairs.
WILL PAY s1OO,OOO,OOO.
Scheme Similar to One During
Grants Administration.
ROthschilds Thought to be Back
of the Scheme.

CHICAGO, July ia dispatch from
Washington, D. c., says: A syndicate of
wealthy New Workers. it is learned from
the state department sources, has been
formed and is awaiting the proper crisis
in Cuban affairs to advance again the
proposition for the practical purchase of
Cuba.
The plan will be modified, however, to
agree with the scheme once considered
by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish
during President Grants administration.
1t looks to the amicable settlement of
the Cuban question by purchasing the
independence of the island for $1O0,O00,-
900.
It is said the impression prevails in the
state department that the Rothschilds
are back of the scheme.

PETERS FOR GOVERNOR.

1attons With Gov. Morrill,.
Governor Morrill, has not yet appointed
the new Hutchinson reformatOry board,
although S. r. Peters of Newton has
been here, and has held a conference
with him on that subject.
The governor says Mr.. Peters has been
offered place on the board. but has not
yet made up his mind whether he will
accept
The news comes from the Seventh dis
trict that Mr.. Peters is being groomed as
a candidate for governor to succeed Nor
rill and that the Hutchinson reformatory
being Seventh district institution could
be used to great advantage by a candi-
date for state Office.
The thing which is said to bother Mr..
Peters just now is the obligation he
would be under to Morrill, should he &C
cept this appointment at his hands.
Governor Morrill, is willing that Mr..
Peters should succeed him after he has
a second term, but Mr.. Peters knows
that it is possible that Governor Morrill,
may never have q second term, and for
that reason he would not like to kill his
chances for a nomination next year by
being tied up to Morrill,.
Governor Morrill, has given Mr.. Peters
few days longer to consider the matter.

They Arc Coming AGAIN NOW Instead OF

A party of Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia farmers passed through Kansas
City yesterday, says the Kansas City
Times, on their way to Lane, Kan, where
they will probably buy land and locate.
The party consisted of Stanley Reed, DR..
Reed and DR.. krazee of Maysville, KY;
Joel Laytham of Mays Lick, Ky, ,and ]. o.
McDougal and A. B. Wilson of Pennsboro,
w. V. They will find Kansas in an IN
usually smiling mood these days and
quite different in aspect from the rocky
hill sides of Eastern Kentucky and
West Virginia.
J. F. Long, who is already citizen
of Kansas, had the party in charge. They
attracted considerable attention around
the Union Depot hotel during their stay
in the city, if for no other reason than
because they proved that desirable i'm
migration is not away from Kansas just
now, but quite the contrary.

The different breeds of dairy cows

of the Durham las the shorthorn is

Dairying in France is avery impor-
