PLAGUE OF FLIES IN INDIANA.
Live Stock Attacked by the Pests and
Made Frantic.

Kokomo, Ind, Aug. 17.-Myriads OF
flies new to this section Of the country
are reported swarming all over the
county, torturing the live stock to a
degree never before heard of. Cattle
refuse to eat and it is dangerous to go
ir fields where they are, SO frantic and
crazy are they made by the punish
ment of the insects that pursue them
necessarily. Several head of fat steers
on the Joe Amos farm have died from
the effects. 1t Is common sight for
horses to come to town with their legs
incased in the trousers of their own
ers and backs and sides covered with
small branches as protection against
the pests.
Local druggists have sold several
barrels Of fish oil and carbolic acid for
use in painting the legs and bodies of
horses. The flies are larger than the
common stock fly and ten times as
numerous.

over into the rapids. At this point the
waters rush to the falls with terrific
speed. and the spectators expected to
see the young man swept over the
cataract, but. fortunately, he scrambled
to the bank, where he fell heap.
He received a cash on the head from
contact with rock when he went into
the rapids. He was dazed by his ad-
venture and had to be taken home in a
carriage. The bicycle struck about ten
feet from the place where Bushong did
and was recovered. One of the wheels
was knocked to pieces. and the iron Of
the bridge that was struck by the wheel
was broken.

Hall last evening and 1t proved a very
pleasant occasion for the 60 or more
couples present. The committee of ar
rangements and those in charge Of the

the pleasure OF their patrons. The
grand march was led by floor director
John j. O'Neii and Miss Annie Il. Ryan
OF Pawtucket. The orchestra was part
ly hidden from view by profusion
Of potted plants. There were "a mum mbers
on the order of dances, for which music

enough to be long kept as souvenirs OF
the occasion. The members of the coun-
