Prof: LuGger Says the Present

Great Damage in this Section.
Getting Rid Of Hoppers.

Professor Lugger, state entomologst 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 left
the northeastern corner of Nebraska on
August 5, 1895. They arrived in time to
lay their eggs, and it is a strange fact that
in almost every instance they We're laid in
fields which had been hailed out during
the summer. Prof. Lugger states that if
the farmers will get right after the pests
and use hopperdoZers freely there is little
danger of their migrating into other states.
) Tho hopperdozer is, however, only a
.al1eshift to preserve the growing grain
II order to eradicate the pest the plow
must be used. 1t is estimated that 1909
eggs will be laid on square foot Of
ground. In order to destroy these eggs
deep plowing must be resored to by all
farmers whose lands are infested. If only
part of the land is plowed the farmer
who docs not plow is guilty of allowing the
pest to spread and do incalcuable damage
another year. Circulars are being sent
out to farmers generally by Prof. Lugger,
and it is contemplated that the grasshop-
per scare will be of brief duration in South

Queen Victoria began the celebration of

Throughout London, the United Kingdom
and the empire, in every cathedral, church
or chapel of the established church of
England were held services similar to
those at ST. Georges chapel, Windsor,
where her majesty paid her devotions and
offered solemn thanks to God.
The announcement that the services at
st. Georges chapel would be private and
1or the members of the royal family pre-
vented the gathering of large crowd.
The scene was most impressive and the
services were very simple. Her majesty
sat in the chair of state Immediately in
front of the communion rail, and just be-
side the brass plate whose inscription desig-
mates the spot which was the temporary
place Of interment of the prince consort.
The ladies and gentlemen who are the
grand officers of the queens household
entered first, followed Ly the military
Knights of Windsor in the full costume OF
cooked hats and scarlet coats.
The Duke of Dcvonshire and Lord Rose
berry occupied their stalls as Knights OF

empty, the seats of the royal family being
near the queens.

Charles w. Spaulding, eX-president Of
the defunct Globe Savings Bank of Chi
cago and treasurer Of the state university,
was on Friday acquitted of the charge Of
embeZZlement. The first words uttered by
Mr.. Spaulding after the verdict had been
read in court were, "Well, this is sur
prise" The specific charges against him
was the converting of $1,000 worth of the
bonds Of Pittsfield school and Lincoln
school in Pike County. The bonds were
hypothecated with the Metropolitan Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, to secure loan
of S6,75o.
Spaulding owes his acquittal to single
word in the statute. That word is Gin
tent" The jurors could not become
reconciled to the proposition that the ex-
treasurer of the University of Illinois in
tentionally embezzled the bonds of that in
sttution.
There are still twenty seven indictments
hanging over him and he will be tried

Increased Orders for Staple Goods
an Encouraging Feature.

an encouraging Feature.
Bradstreets Weekly Review says: There
are encouraging features in the general
trade situation, the most conspicuous OF
which is increased orders for staple goods
for fall delivery in few lines, notably
clothing, which at Chicago, Baltimore and
few other centers promises to exceed the
movement of year ago.
The more cheerful feeling among the
manufacturers of iron and steel is based in
part upon expectations of revival in de-
mand. Encouragement is also derived
from the advance in raw cotton and of 1-16
per cent. in print cloths, which marks a
close relation to the best price ever had.
A decided increase in the demand for cot
ton is the speculative outcome of the in
creased possibility Of an early settlement
of the tariff. Prices this week do not
carry out last weeks promise of general
advance. There are lower quotations for
tea and coffee, flour, wheat and oats, BesS
semer pig and steel biliets.
