PRAIRIE DOCS ovEaRUN KANSAS.
Millions of Them Destroy Range
Grass and Farmers Crops.

FROM the New YORK Ilmes.
Topeka, Kan.-Gov. Stanley said to-
night that the stockmen of Western Kan
sas are appealing TO him to exterminate
the millions of prairie dogs that are de-
stroying the range grass.
THE prairie dog question is getting to
be a serious one among the stockmen, and
even the farmers of Western Kansas"
said the Governor to-day. 'The time WIS
when the dogs were confined TO the Smoky
Hill Valley and the adjacent territory but
now they have large towns all over the
divides. They are increasing at an alarm
ing rate, and unless something is done to
check them there won't be enough grass
left to feed a grasshopper Even now most
of the ranches In the southern half of
Logan county could easily support twice
as many cattle as they now do were 1t not
for the prairie dogs.
Nor iS this danger of devastation con-
fined by any means to the cattle ranches.
The dogs are encroaehing upon the farm
ing land and destroying a good many acres
of crops every year"
Gov. Stanley says he knows no way of
stopping the ravages of these pests.

COTTON.

The cotton market closed quiet and I'M
changed to-day, with no transactions re-
ported. Reports from the belt showed i'm
proved weather conditions, which encour-
aged the element who are anxious for
farm work to proceed without further de-
lay. 1t seems that crop reports will here
after be the main factor in governing
prices, which Will cause the trade to
watch closely the progress made i'm this
direction. The receipts to-day were 1863
bales, against sos last year. The receipts
this season have been 81 ,056, 761. against

may stand on the bridge that spans
the little river and recall that here Ma
poleon won also his name Of little
corporal" But that was not glorious
for Italy and does not stir the imagi-
nation. And Milan, also in the plain Of
Lombardy, the center of the art and
music and learning of northern Italy,
is distant from the poor of Lodi who
have not the small silver coin neces-
sary for the journey.
Yet here to Lodi the poet came-a
girl, the daughter of a woman who
worked in factory. Her name was
Ada Negri, and when at the end of the
days toll she told her mother OF the
distant mountains and the sea, and the
wide life of the world where every soul
of us all finds its work, that mother
determined that the daughter should
not spend her life in sordid labor.
She could do little more for her than
to fit her for the humblest place as viz
lage school teacher. At IS Ada Neg7i
went a little farther into that dreary
stretch of plain to the town called
Motta-Viconti She lived in poor
house fronting on a muddy court where
geese gabbled all day long. And there
was not even glass in the windows OF
her room which she reached at night
after a long day with seventy children
as poor as she. Here she sat on the
floor beside box Of books and forgot
her poverty.
At the age of % she wrote her first
poem Fatalita 1t was the cry of a
hampered soul, hurt by the prison
walls of circumstances. It won for her
an annual sum of $40 year given BY
a widow of Florence And then she
erature in the normal school. Two
years ago she was married to a rich
manufacturer, and her name now is
Signora Garlandia
Her poems have the same quality Of
sympathy for suffering that they had
before the days of her prosperity. She
feels peculiarly for the factory workers
and has been accused of leading The
socialists in their struggle against the
capitalists. But all classes read her
books that have wider sale than was
ever known to be true OF poetry in
Italy, where the lower classes are not
commonly great readers. She Is az
fectionately called the factory sirl
poet, by the people who feel that she
has lived their life and understands the
burden they hear Her TemDBste
treats of social unrest and Maternita oil
motherhood. Short sets of verses "
hers have been set to music. anu II is
not improbable that social reforms
may be fastened in Italy because OF the
inspiring strains making for liberty,
equality and universal brotherhood
that have been written by Ada Negri.

The foreigners penned up in Pekin

the British legation. They escaped

Germany win demand full satlsfac-

Prince Tuan ordered the slaughter OF

peril.
It is said at the navy department
that there Is little likelihood that Ad-
miral Dewey viii be sent TO command
the naval forces in the event Of serious
trouble in China.
There is a general belief that the en-
tire European colony in Pekin, num-
bering nearly 900 souls, has been
wiped out by the boxers and soldiers
at the instigation Of Prince Tuan.
The Chinese minister at Washing

men could be spared from the Philip

The killing Of the German minister

A council Of war at Taku decided to

OF several weeks, as Russia refuses TO
