Crops I'm the Northwest Mt the In
sects' Mercy.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 4.-Western Nebras-
ka, Eastern Colorado and Kansas are just
now in the throes of a grasshopper plague,
the worst on record for fifteen years. Crops
are being devastated and the farmers be-
ing driven to distraction by the inroads
of the pest, according to reports received
at the State Horticultural Department yes
terday. In fact, the grasshoppers are
doing so much damage that the entomolo-
gists of the three States have decided to
hold meeting to devise plan to combat
them.
Prof. l.. Bruner, State Entomologist Of
Nebraska, went to Denver from the affect
ed district, and after consultation with Mr..
Shute, Secretary Of the Horticultural
Board, left for Fort Collins where he will
consult with Prof. C. Fillette. the Colorado
entomologist, and S. ]. Hunter, the Kan
sas authority on bugs, on some method of
getting rid of the pest that is now making
life a burden in the rain belt country.
Il have seen the grasshoppers thicker in
that section, but not often,' said Prof
Bruner today. They are as numerous now
as the farmers can stand, and unless some
thing is done at once to check them the
loss of crops will be tremendous"

The Room of Mayor Jones.

Cleveland. o., Aug. 4.-"Golden Rule"
Jones has refused to pay the expense of
sending emissaries about the State TO work
up petitions in his behalf. The labor COM
mitteeman up in Lucas county represented
to the mayor that il would not do to de-
pend upon voluntary sentiment, but that
men must be put to work to arouse arti
fetal enthusiasm. In a word, he must hire
people to ask him to run for Governor.
Mayor Jones refused to view things in
this light. AS consequence of this refusal
not a single Jones petition has been start
ed in Columbus, though the State labor"
convention was held there and the chair
man and secretary of the State executive
committee reside there. Jones Is in exclu-
sive charge OF his own boom, and has de-
cided to operate it on the golden rule basis,
which is quite novelty in Ohio politics.

A PENNSYLVANIA TICKET.
Slate Which VIII Probably Be NAM
ed by the Republicans.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 4.-Unless the
present programme of the stalwart wing
of the Republican party is changed, the
ticket to be nominated by the State con-
vention on August "a will bear these
names:
For Supreme Court Justice,J. Hay Brown;
Of Lancaster; for Superior Court Justice,
Josiah r. Adams, of Philadelphia; for State
Treasurer, Lieut.. Col. James E. Barnett,
of Washington.
Congressman Acheson will continue his
efforts against Barnett, but the demand for
a soldier candidate is so strong that the
nomination of Barnett, lit is believed
would be equivalent to an election. He
has been the choice of certain lieutenants
of former Senator Quay from the start,
but had Colonel Hawkins lived these lieu
tenants would have cast aside their per-
sonaI preference, and given the commander
| of the Tenth Pennsylvania cordial sup
port.

TO PUNISH THE coUNCILMEN.
Justice Fitzgerald Delays Signing
the Order for imprisonment.

New York. Aug. 4.-Justice Fitzgerald
heard counsel yesterday as to the order to
be issued Furnishing for contempt the coun-
cilmen who in one degree or another have
refused TO obey the order of the court
by voting a resolution under which $34, ,255
can be paid to Contractor John Pierce, on
account of work done on the new hall of
records. Justice Fitzgerald decided, final
ly, not to sign the order until today.
On behalf Of the contractor, L. Latin
kellogg said that the resolution passed by
the councilmen on Wednesday purporting
to authorize the issue of S34 ,255 of city
bonds TO pay the contractors was inoper-
ative because the council had no power to
originate bond issue. but only power to
concur in one authorized by the board of
estimate. That is. they should have passed
the resolution which the board OF estimate
had sent to them, authorizing the issue OF
the entire $4,000. 600 bonds for the hall of
records. An attempt was made TO pass that
resolution. but FIVE of the councilmen who
had already been adjudged in contempt, re-
fused TO vote for it, These men, Mr. Kel-
logg said. should be compelled to pay the
500 fine and sent to Jail.

Big Roger Denzer, the pitcher, tells
weird yarn of the tough luck variety. and
Roger, during his short but eventful ex-
istence as Chicago player, acquired a
large reputation for truth and yeracity.
Denzer says he was pitching game on
the Sunday grounds outside of St. Paul.
The grounds are about the size of ZEAL
thy Saratoga trunk and sharp base hit
is liable to bound back off the fences and
give the fielders a chance to throw the
runner out at first Denzer declares he
had the Minneapolis team beaten one Sun
day by one run in the ninth. There were
two out and man on first The batter hit
liner at the fence and the fielder ran
out. playing the angles and waiting for
the ball to bound back Instead the ball
stuck on wire nail ten feet above the
ground. and while the fielder was hunting
for step ladder the batter circled the
bases and won the game.

This new song by the author '.Part-
ed in a Dream is deeply sentiment
al production, but entirely different in
situation, music and style from the
other. Darling Lenore had counter
part in life, but the song has no coun-
terpart in musical annals. The au-
thor is original, whatever else may be
said. Competent critics praise the
music for beauty of movement and
tone effects and the words for poetic
excellence. 1t has all the elements of
a successful ballad, and since the gen
eral public has begun to show it's dis
gust at being flooded with ''coon''
songs, beautiful descriptive song like
