BURNS HFRSELF TO DEATH
Hastings Woman Employs n Horrible
Method to Put an End to Her
Existence.

HASTINGS. Neb., Sept. 12.-(Special
Telegram.)-Mrs. L. c.. Hooking, who was
SO badly burned by gasoline last evening.
died at seven o'clock this morning. The
case was one OF suicide instead of accident.
as at first supposed.
Mrs. Hooking had suffered frcen tempo
rary alteration OF the mind at times for a.
period Of several years and on several pre-
vious occasions has made attempts at self
destruction. Yesterday evening, afflicted
with one OF these spells. she took advantage
OF her husbands absence from home and
locking her little children out Of the house.
poured gasoline over her clothing and set
fire to 1t. The oldest Of the children, a
little girl who knew her mothers condition,
was trying to get back into the house and
discovered the fire. A farmer who was
passing, attracted by her cries. broke in
the door and found Mrs. Hooking Just in
side. a mass OF flames. He eItinguished the
fire in her clothing and she was taken to
the home OF %neighbors.
She was conscious through the night and
told her husband that she had decided to
die and that he would be better of. She
had been laboring under a delusion for
some time that his life was In danger aud
thought that by sacrificing hers he could
be saved. About three weeks ago she
hanged herself, but was saved from death
by neighbors. She was SO years old
and leaves a husband and four small chill

MAKING A STUDY OF LOCUSTS
Department Experts Report on the
Work of the Past
Season.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-Every year
since the invasion OF certain western states,
particularly Kansas and Colorado. by the
Rocky mountain locust. or western grass
hopper, in the years 1873, 1874 and 1876. the
division OF entomology Of the United States
Of Agriculture has sent an agent
into the field in the western states each
summer TO study grasshopper conditions for
the purpose of enabling the department to
predict, If possible. a future invasion and
to warn farmers well in advance, The
result of the researches during the an
nual trip Of the present year has Just been
reported to DR.. Howard. the entOmologist

count OF a slight outbreak OF the
locust in North Dakota and on ac-
count Ct an unusual abundance Of local nom
migratory species in different western states.
Moreover, a rather large swarm was seen
In flight in early August, the exact settling
point of which it is now difficult to ap-
p~ innate.
Earlier in the summer a statement was
published in certain western newspapers to
ga. elect that 1t was considered by ento-
mologists that the Turtle mountain region in
North Dakota and Montana probably was a
permanent breeding ground of the destruc-
tive migratory grasehopper, a statement
which occasioned much alarm and indigna-
tion on the part Of the railroads and other
land owners In that part OF the state. This
region therefore was carefully traversed and
scrutinized by Mr.. Hunter. who reports that
the migratory grasshopper does not breed
permanently in the Turtle mountains nor
in that immediate vicinity. The ground Is
perfectly unsuited to breeding and. more
over. swlrms descending farther east have
been traced from far to the northeast OF
that place. The probable breeding ground,
he thinks. Is upon the Assinaboine river,
north and east Of Regina, a region which
will be investigated next season.

NEW PLANS FOR PORTO RICO
Cabinet Discusses Form of Local Gov
eminent to Be Put i'm 0~peration
Soon on the Island.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 12.-The cabinet
meeting today was occupied in the discus
sion Of a form OF civil government for Porto
Rico. This matter has been under serious
consideration ever since Secretary Root took
his place as secretary OF war and the indi-
cations now are that some form OF local
government will be decided upon and put
into operation within the next few weeks
at the latest.
The details of the proposed plan have not
yet been made public, but it Is understood
that 1t involves the appointment OF a civil
governor by the president and also the ap-
pointment of the chiefs Of the several great
departments CT the government which would
include a chief of the financial department,
a director of posts and probably two or
three others.
In addition the president will appoint from
the leading citizens Of the island a certain
number to act in a Legislative capacity with
the civil governor and the members Of his
council. These will be authorized to recon-
mend any changes that may be thought
necessary in the existing laws, and to sug
gest such others as in their judgment may
be deemed best. 1t Is net intended that this
form of government shall continue beyond
the time congress may see fit to legislate
on the subject, but 1t is the purpose OF the
president to give Porto Ricans some voice
in their own government, pending such
action.
Although the governor general and the
members OF his council will exercise gen.
eral supervision over the enforcement of
any laws that may receive the approval of
the president, those relating to municipal
matters will be left largely in the hands
of the people of Porto Rico. They will be
permitted to administer their own affairs,
subject always to the veto power of the gov
ernor general and finally of the president.
All of the details have not been worked
out, but it, is the purpose of the president
to give the people of Porto Rico, as soon
as may be, the fullest measure OF home rule
that is considered consistent with perfect
safety to life and property.

TESTS PRJVE SATISFACTORY
High Explosives Can BE Thrown Long
Distances with Perfect
Safety.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Major General
Miles said last night of the recent tests at
Sandy Hook OF high explosives in projectiles:
THE purpose of these tests was to ascer-
tain the force and power of new explosives,
the effect OF conclusion, as well as the power
OF breaking projectiles into fragmentary
pieces. The possibility OF throwing high
expl- sives through armor plate was also
tested with safety and the fact was demon
strated that projectiles containing high ex-
~plosives can be thrown long distances, ten,
twelve and fourteen miles, in fact, as far as
it is possible to throw any projectile from
any kind of a gun. Each trial and test thus
far has been entirely satisfactory. All OF
these tests have demonstrated that pro-
~jectiles containing the most destructive high
explosives can be thrown any distance with
sufficient force to penetrate armor plate"
