Vermont has rejected woman SUI

Prof LuGger Says the Present

Kind Which Once Did Such
Great Damage in this Section.
Getting Rid of HOppers.

Professor Iugger, state entOmologist OF
Minnesota, has been investigating the
grasshopper situation in South Dakota,
and decides they are the kind which once
did such great damage. He states that the
swarm whose eggs are now Matching in the
vicinity Of Aberdeen is the one that lief,
the northeastern corner Of Nebraska on
August 5, 1895. They arrived in time t.
lay their eggs, and it is a strange fact that
in almost every instance they were laid in
fields which had been hailed out during
the summer. Prof. Lugger states that il
the farmers will get right after the pests
and use honperdoZers freely there is little
danger of their migrating into other states.
The hopperdozcr is, however, only a
makeshift to preserve the growing grain.
II order to eradicate the pest the plow
must be used. 1t is estimated that 1000
eggs will be laid on square foot OF
ground. In order to destroy these eggs
deep blowing must be resorted to by all
farmers whose lands are infested II only
part of the land is ploweh the farmer
who does not plow is guilty of allowing the
pest to spread and do incalcuabie damage
another year. Circulars are being sent
ont to farmers generally by Prof. Logger,
ana it is contemplated that the graSsiop-
per scare will be Of brief duration in South
DakO:o.

WATERMELON CROP SHohr.
GcDrgia>s Yield this Year Will &c
Only Onc.Thirtl Of Last Years.

ATLANTA, Ga: The Georgia water
melon will not be as much in evidence as
usual this year. Reports indicate that tho
crop will be very short. The average pro-
duction Of the state is 5000 carloads. and
thic years crop will not exceed 1900 car
loads. This means loss OF about S3)0, 900
in revenue to the railroads, and about the
same amount to the melon growers. The
shortage i'll the peach crop is even greater.
President Cunningham, of the Georgia
Horticultural Association, and large
fruit grower, estimates that the peach crop
is usually worth to the railroads abOu!
$4,000, but the greater part of this revenue
will be lost this year. The loss to the rail-
roads and growers Of fruit and melons will
be about $500, 900 on account OF the short
crops. The melon business five years ago
amounted to 5000 carloads from this state.
Nearly every farmer in south Georgia
grew melons for the market, and the
acreage ran up to large figures.

BUT A DROP IN THE BUCKET
Money So Far offered for the Relief
OF the Starving or ln(Iin.

IN OF the Starving or India.
New York: Robert p. WILDER, an
American Presbyterian missionary from
Peona, India, has arrived in New York.
In an interview he said:
s.The plague is abating in India, but the
famine is at its height. The plague has
been as bad in Peona, in proportion to its
size, as in Bombay, where II 900 have died.
One cause Of the spread of the disease is
said to he the practice among the natives
of walking barefoot, for even insects
transmit 1t. A friend Of mine entered
house where q plague patient bad died to
get some soil for analysis. The govern
ment officials refused to let him have it.
Receiving permission to 'disinfect' it, he
threw some sugar OH it, aud afterward
took up the sugar, together with some ants
which had collected there, in his bandker-
chief and carried them of. Every one of
those ants took plague m;crobe with it.
.The people are mere skeletons, living
on roots, grass and leaves, and are glad to
get them. Their troubles breed queer
fancies in them. Some think Queen Vic
tOria sent the plague in revenge for the
daubing OF her statue in Bombay. Many
sOf them refuse to go to the segregation
hospitals, because they think it the inten-
ton Of the government to put them out OF
the way when it got them there. The
money for relief offered hitherto for dis
tress in India is merely drop in the
bucket"

Sensitive iscaGwoO.i.

Something Will undoubtedly be done in
the near future by Daadwooi's city council
pertaining to the regulation OF the street
services Of the Salvation Army in that
city. The drum and the cornct seem to be
so obnoxious 10 many Of the citizens that
the press and city council have been re-
luested to ''roast them" Every evening
the army paradcs the street and every thing
has to make way for the shouting band of
Worshipers. There is no question but that
the army has done great good in Dead
wood. Its methods OF working are ex-
trcmcly new to the Black Hills, however
and no doubt reminds the old-timers OF tho
Omaha Gancc OF the Sioux.

BONAcuM TRiuMPHs.
Tho Lincoln Bishop Upheld by Mgr.
Mnrtincili.


OMAHA: Another decision has been
made in the celebrated case of the priests
of the Lincoln diocese against Bishop
Thomas Bonacum. At the direction of
the sacred propaganda ut Rome the case
was heard at the metropolitan court at
Dubuque last year. Father Bart decided
in favor Of the priests at every point
Bishop Bonacum appealed to Mgr. Marti-
nelii in December.
Father Fitzgerald arrived from Wash
ington Tuesday with the decision Of Mgr.
Martinelii. 1t is learned that in this decis.
ion and sentence, which is quite long and
iswritten in Latin, Mgr. Martinelli has un-
done all that Father Bart did in the met
ropolitan court at Dubuque and has in no
way censured the bishop for the expulsion,
suspension and communication pro-
nounced over a year ago by the bishop
against the priests. The whole sentence
concludes with the following:
81. The Rev. Dennis Fitzgerald shall
spend twenty days in spiritual exercises i'll
a monastery to he designated by us.
''22. He shall perform the act of SUBJ
mission and obedience towards the ordi-
nary of the Lincoln diocese.
SO. He shall be transferred from the
parish of st. Joseph Of Auburn to another
morally equal.
~. He shall pay the expenses of $50 in
Cured by the trial at Lincoln and the eX-
penses of $40 incurred at the metropolitan
curiae at Dubuque. 1t shall be equally
divided between the Lincoln curae and
the Rev. MIR. Fitzgerald.
IS. He shall pay all the bishops dues
for the year 1894 and other dues of the mis-
sion shall be paid by the parish of st.
Joseph for the erection of the bishops
house, etc.
Father Murphy, who was associated
with Father Fitzgerald in the trial at Du-
buque, is also supposed to have been
sentenced similarly and is also put under
the ban of secrecy.
