AFTER THE HOPPERS
Western Kansas and Nebraska Far
mers Organize Grasshop-
per Hunt

Topeka, June l4.-Reports received
here from Cheyenne, Sherman and
other extreme western counties indi-
cate that this will be another grass
hopper year. Farmers in the western
counties have discovered that thous-
ands ofyoung grasshoppers are hatch
ing in their fields. The farmers are
now experimenting in order to find "a
method of killing the insects. A fav-
orite method of killing them is to scat
ter "a mixture of bran and paris green
through the fields and poison them.
The northwestern counties are the
only ones in the state in which the
grasshoppers have yet appeared.
Nebraska is afflicted with the pests at
present, and an attempt will be made
to rid the two states of the crop de-
stroyers.
Professor Lawrence Bruner, who is
regarded as an authority on destruc-
tive insects, and especially grass
hoppers, will within a short time go
into Western Kansas and Southern
Nebraska and conduct a grand bug
hunt. He was employed by the Ar
gentine Republic some years ago to
rid that country of locusts and his
success on that expedition makes him
an authority on the best methods of
destroying such insects. Professor
Bruuer has discovered that grass
hoppers are especially fond of coal
oil and he uses this in killing them.
He builds small tank on runners and
after partly filling the tank with coal
oil hauls it through the field which he
is working on. The insects are at
tracted by the oil and quickly fill the
tank. They are shoveled out and
others take their places. 1t is said
that one trip across a field will clear
it of grasshoppers for space of l0t
yards on each side of the tank.

NOT TILL FEBRUARY
Cuban Independence Has been De-
layed by Red TNpp.

Washington June 15.-It is now
learn ed that when the Cuban commits
sion was in Washington, delegates in
formed Secretary Root that they did
not think it would be possible to have

fore February l, owing to the fact
that certain procedures must be had
under their new constitution.
The Opinion is expressed atthe War
department that there will be little or

General Wood has organized is largely
composed Of Cubans, and it is believed
that the new government win utilize

GOOD TINES In KANSAS
Land Is in Demand and Prices are Co
ing Away Up.

Kansas City, June IA. Ed Yelling
ton, real estate man Of Ellsworth,
Kansas, says that within 1.-THE last two
years land in western Kansas has in
creased in value fully 100 per cent.
at is largely due to the demand for
ranges for cattle, he said.
'Ranchmen have been forced to give
up much .of their land in Oklahoma
and had to come to Kansas. Land
that could be bought for So an acre a
few years ago now brings $S and $40,
while some of the best pieces sell for
$50. But ranchmen lare not all who
are buying. Farmers from Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Ohio are beginning
to buy land in Kansas. Our own
farmers who were called claim holders
few years ago, are beginning to buy
more land. 1t somewhat resembles
the boom of dozen years ago, but it
is strong, healthy boom that will
last"

TRIAL WILL BE SHORT
The Prosecution in Jessie Morrison
Case Change Tartics.

FL Dorado, June 10. The attorneys
representing the state of Kansas have
decided that their part of the second
trial of Jessie Morrison for the mur.
der of the bride of Olin Castle, "a year
ago, shall be short, clean-cut and de-
disive. They have agreed to intro
duce only the evidence that bears di-
rectly on the tragedy of itself. Their
plan of prosecution is to emphasize by
testimony their position that little Jes-
sic Morrison, the clerk of the racket
store who loved Olin Castle, went to
the house of his young bride, the
woman who had won her sweetheart
away from her, with razor one sun
ny June morning and cruelty murder
ed her. The evidt nee of the state is
to stick to that central fact. They
are to rely largely on what they claim
were the circumstances Jessie
Morrison had loved was Tilted, ignor-
ed and scorned, and that i'm "a frenzy.
the frenzy Of jealousy and hate, she
went to the little cottage where her
sweetheart and her rival lived as man
and wife and committed theicrime with
which she is charged.

MEMPHIS AND FRISCO

&c San Francisco Consolidate
Kansas City June l4.-The CONSOLE
dation of the Frisco and Memphis
railroads will be effected under the
laws of Kansas. The consolidated
company will be known as the Kansas
City. Fort Scott e. Memphis Railway
Company. 1t will start out with a ca
pital stock of 500 600, 600, but this will
be increased shortly. Headquarters
will be maintained at Oswego Kas.
Under the Kansas laws a railroad
chartered in that state must maintain
its headquarters in the state. This
means that Oswego will become a lead
ing railroad center and that at least
1000 people will be added to its popu-
lation from the railroads alone.
In order to make everything regular
"A connecting link starting at Oswego
on the Frisco and running northea ST.
erly through Labette and Cherokee
counties to the main line of the Mem
phis connecting the two systems will
be built at once. The constitution of
Kansas provides that railroads can
consolidate providing they are linked
together.
The town of Oswego beino selected
as the official home of the consolidated
company is regarded as being in luck,
as it will make that town to the new
c combined properties what Topeka is
to the Santa Fe. The officials having
the matter in charge feel that Oswego
is good locality for the location of
the clerical force of the road, and that
the selection in every way will facili-
t ate the business of the corporation.
