A College Professor Will Make War on
South American Pests.
Professor Laurence Bruner Of the
University of Nebraska sailed recently
for Buenos Ayres for the purpose of
studying the habits and peculiarities of
a species of locust which within the last
year has infested several provinces Of
the Argentine Republic and Uruguay,
and which threatens ruin to the agri-
cultural interests of both countries.
Professor Bruner undertakes the work
in the interest Of commission COM
posed Of several of the wealthiest men
in both Uruguay and Argentina and
was chosen for it because of his success
in fighting the grasshoppers in Kansas,
Nebraska and the Dakotas from 1878 to
1878.
During this period Professor Bruner
and several other entomologists devoted
their time to investigating the methods
to be employed in order to exterminate
the insects, and their success was great.
Different methods were employed in
different localities, but as a rule the
natural enemy to the hopper was en-.
couraged, and only in the very dry
climates was it found necessary to adopt
artificial means. New York Sun.

TWENTY YEARS LATER.
How TiIne Brought Lovers Together IN,
t Made Thcm One.


How Time Brought Lovers Together and
k Made Them One,
Miss Hattie O'Kane of Ferguson,
Mo-, is to be married to Mr.. Nathaniel
Y. Hoss of Deer Lodge. Mon, and there
Is romantic story of early attachment,
long separation and accidental reunion
connected with the announcement.
Miss O'Kane is the sister of the late
Captain James O'Kane of the United
States navy. She lives at the O'Kane
homestead in Ferguson, where for many
years she devoted herself TO the care Of
her noted but invalid brother.
Twenty years ago Miss Hattie
O'Kane and Mr.. Hoss were sweethearts.
They met at Louisiana, Mo-, and the
handsome young ST. Louis woman soon
won the heart Of the sturdy westerner.
They were engaged and, like other
lovers, had quarrel. Mr.. Hoss was
called suddenly to his home in the west,
and Miss O'Kane did not revisit Lou
isiana for years. They drifted apart,
and the young woman became absorbed
in the welfare Of her brother. Mr.. Hoss
finally settled in Deer Lodge, Mon. +,
where he was married and prospered.
He became interested in mines, and if
his heart ever flew back to his first love
he made no sign, but devoted himself
to his wife and growing family Of chill
dren.
About two months ago she resumed
correspondence with an old friend in
Louisiana. This led to q visit, and
when she alighted from the train her
friend greeted her agreeably with the
surprising announcement that her old
sweetheart was also in town, for the
first time in years. A meeting was ar
ranged, and the pair met with some
what Of the old, tender grace that does
not die.
Mr.. Hoss introduced her to his three
motherless. children, almost grown now
and, reciting tho same old story of long
ago, asked her if she would be mother
to them.
How eloquent he was is evident from
the fact that the engagement is an
nounced, and the couple will 60 to Mr..
Hoss' home in Montana after brief

WITH Ak AND CLUB.


Brothers Fight Furious Duel In the
Presence Of a Crowd.
Armed with AK and club, Thomas and
Peter Smith, brothers, Of New York,
fought desperate battle on the dock at
East Thirty second street recently over
the respective merits of the Seventh
regiment and the Sixty-ninth.
Thomas is laborer and lives in East
Thirty third street, while Peter resides
in East Thirty second street. Both had
witnessed the Grant parade. They met
by chance on the dock and discussed the
fighting qualities of their favorite regi-
ments.
81 can lick any man who says the
Sixty-ninth is terrier regiment, even
if he is my own brother" declared
Peter.
Then the fight began. Each man dis
carded his hat and coat and looked
about for weapon. Thomas found the
AK, while his brother seized the club.
Thomas landed first with hard blow
on Peters head, and for the next five
minutes the fight was fast and furious.
A crowd gathered, and though the
combatants were repeatedly wounded it
encouraged them to continue the duel.
1t looked as though one or both of the
men would be killed, but policeman
arrived and stopped the fight.
The men were so badly cut that it
was necessary for an ambulance sur
geon, who had been summoned, to take
them to Bellevue. After their injuries
had been dressed the combatants were
locked up in police station.

How Toronto Loses.

Toronto has recently had new ceii>
sus, which makes the population 1876, 987.
It is an increase of 1000 in four years.
In Ontario the birth rate at the last
general CENSUS was 24.5 and the death
rate 11.3 per 1000. The natural in
crease, therefore, would be 1872 per
1000. II tho natural increase OF the
population of Toronto is calculated on
that basis, she should have gained each
year since 1893 an average Of 2,500
souls or 10000 in all. The census re.
turns indicate that the gain is 5000
less. It is evident that Toronto, like the
rest Of Canada, loses mole people by
emigration than she gains by immigra
tion. Exchange.

AT WARTIME PRICES.
a Country store In which Nothing In
Ever Sold.


Ever Sold.
In Bainbridge. Geauga county, o.,
notrar from Cleveland. Is tho queerest
country general store that could well be
imagined. cambridge is small ham
let, but the store ia az large and as we'll
stocked as the average suburban estab-
Gshment Of that sort.
It is kept-that is precisely the word
for it-by All old widower, who has no
relatives in that section Of the country
and is practically hermit. When the
civil war began, he was running -four
ishing general store in Bainbridge and
made money rapidly during the sue
ceeding four years.
When peace was declared, prices,
which had been greatly inflated, took a
sudden drop. The old fellow believed
that this would be followed by boom
which would send prices skyward again
and refused to sell his goods for less
than he paid for them. Down went the
prices-down, down, down-and final
ly he was forced to close his store for
want of purchasers.
Today his store stands almost exactly
as it did 80 years ago. 1t is stocked
with such goods as are usually found
in country stores, but, of course, the
stock is now practically worthless.
Every day the old man opens up the
place to give it an airing. He is there,
too, for business, if any one chooses to
buy what he has to sell and is willing to
pay what he asks.
''Why, sir" he said to curious Wis
itor, "some of the calico I've got here
cost me Go cents yard in 1867. Would
not be fool to sell it for cents?"-

protested that he was d native of that
commonwealth. West Point put in a
strong plea because there he had begun
his military career. Chicago clamored
for the honor because many Of Grants
friends lived there.
New Workers insisted that General
Grant had become citizen of that mu-
nicipality after retiring to private life
and that it was his request that he be
buried on Manhattan Island. Mrs.
Grant settled the question by deciding
in favor of New York. whose citizens
had not only promised to erect hand
some tomb, but to provide place for
her beside her illustrious husband when
she should go TO her long rest.
AS soon as it was decided temporary
tomb, hastily made Of brick, was con-
structed, monument committee was
appointed, and then began the work of
raising the fund. After the first rush,
during which oveI 500, 900 rolled in,
the subscriptions came more slowly, and
in 1892, seven years after Grants death,
the fund amounted to only $3.50, 600,
and the committee was about discour-
aged. The cities which had been disap-
pointed III securing the honor made
criticisms which ranked deep in the
hearts of patriotic New Workers. Just
here General Horace Porter was made
chairman of the committee. Within go
days, under his we'll directed and ener-
getic work, the fund had been increased
to 5000, 900, and the monument was an
assured fact.
Even with plenty of money at COM
mand work on the tomb was necessarily
slow. Unlocked for delays occurred
Months were spent i'll searching for the
right kind of material. Granite was the
stone wanted, but such another dingy
structure as the New York postoffice
was not desired. Finally i'll the quarries

hardness that it may last as long as the
pyramids and of so light tone that the
dressed blocks look like marble in the

had never dug out such great blocks as
were needed, and special apparatus had
to be devised. 1t was done, however.

Time aud again the work on the toni

was postponed from year to year. Gen
eral Horace Porter watched the progress
of the structure anxiously, as did the
architect, Mr.. J. H. Duncan Of New
York, who irnpatiently saw his noble
design taking shape. Mr.. Duncan, by
the way, has remained very much in the
background, whether by inclination, ac-
cident or otherwise l do not know but
it hardly seems that he is getting the
need of praise and credit which his ar
tistic conception ought to bring him.
Perhaps it will come later.
