LOcusfs In North Dakota.

GRANDIN, N. D., June 17.-Locusts are devouring the grainields in this vi cinity, many of them having already been stripped. Farmers have turned out in the endsavor to stay their rav- ages and are spraying one end of the fields with soft tar, while assistants pa- rade through the fields. driving the in- sects before them. When the pests reach the tarred grain, they alight and are caught. Then fire is set, and they are burned. Tn other places trenches are being dug, where coal oil has been placed The pests gather here and are overcome and burned.

WILL NOT USE THE D.D.

Rev John Thompson Thinks He Is
 Not Big Enough For It.
 Chicago, June 1.-The Rev John Thompson, pastor of the Centennial Methodist church, Rockford, III, has. ciared he will never use the title of Doctor of Divinity, which was confer red on him last week by Taylor uni versity.
 Tn my judgment said the pastor, "the degree of D.D. should be reserved for men who have displayed extraordi- nary scholarly attainments or have ac- complished great things in their work.
 '"The question is not one to be set tied by decision as to whether the school is big enough, but whether the man is big enough. He should be judged by himself, and not by the di- plomas and scholarships and degrees he bears.'

London Dock Charges Bill Is

STRONG PLEAS FOR PANAMA ROUTE
Plans For Lincoln Memorial, n Monument to Prison ship Martyrs and to General Mercer Fa-
 vored by Representatiyes.


 vored by Representatives.
 WASHINGTON, June 17.-After a discussion extending over parts of sev- eral days tile senate yesterday passed what is popularly known as the Lon don dock charges bill. The opposition to the measure practically collapsed, and it was passed without division.
 Consideration then was continued of the isthmian canal project, MT. Cullom (Ill) and AIr. Kittredge (S. D.) deliver ing speeches ill advocacy of the Pana- ma route. The former based his argu- ment principally on the report of the 1sthmian commission recommending that route, asserting that he was satis- fed that a good title to the property could be obtained. MT. Kittredge not only strongly favored the Panama route, which, ill his judgment, was much the better, but also attacked the Nicaragua plan as lacking in definite ness. He pointed out that Costa Rica was constitutionally unable to grant the necessary concessions to the Unit ed States and said if the Nicaragua route were selected it probably would be a long time before work could be- gin, even if it ever could be-
 The house transacted some miscella- neOus business under suspension of the rules. It included the adoption of reso- lutions appropriating $25,0OO for the preparation of plans for memorial in this city to Abraham Lincoln, $1O0,000 toward the erection of a monument to the prison ship martyrs who died off Brooklyn as a result Of the crueltieS to which they were subjected by the Brit ish during the Revolutionary war and $1O,O00 for the erection of monument at Fredericksburg Va, to the memory of General Hugh Mercer, who was killed during the Revolutionary war. The resolution adopted was to carry out an authorization made for this pur- pose in TIT by the Continental con- gross.
 Two bills were passed to amend the general pension laws, one to provide for the restoration to the pension rolls of the widows of soldiers who subse- quently married and were again wid- owed and one to increase the pension of those who have lost limb or were totally disabled while in, the military or naval service. The latter bill also carried an important provision to in- crease the pension of soldier under the dependent act of 1890 from SIP to $50 Der month when such pensioner re- quires frequent or periodical attend ance.

q peculiar tangle. The dates set apart
for registering votes for the special
election are October 80 and 81. Regu-
lar registration days for the general
election are October % and "a and
November 1. The law provides that the
registration books must remain the
same from one general election to an
other. Now the question arises what
is to prevent voter who registers
for the special election voting at the
general election also, as his name will
appear on the registry books. This will
not affect the special and regular cleo
TONS, If a voter was absent from the
city on the special registration days
he could not register on the last reg
ular registry day for the general cleo
ton as the poll books would be al
ready completed, or, in other words
what is the last registry day good for
as the special days will complete the
pool books before that time. Had the
dates for special election registration
been set after the general election
trouble would have been avoided but
they were not and several Philadelphia
lawyers seem necessary now to
straighten out the kinks.

the general outlook was good. There
are not bad or doubtful spots that we
know off, said the senator "and we
can't see any reason why any large
number of former republicans should
change their vote this year. The inn
portant thing is to Impress them TO get
out and vote, and If we have full

attention as this one did to him. Mr..
Birdsall's campaign, judged by his
speech in this city, will be very fair;
sticking close to facts which can be
verified by public record and entirely
free from mud-slinging bombast and
the"looking thru a glass darkly," which
seems to be so manifest in the oppose
ton Mr.. Birdslll is a thorough OPP
timist and believes firmly in the re-
publican party as the party of achieve
ment. He asked the plain question of
his hearers last night ii they wished
to intrust the cares and destinies of
this country to a party which today
stands without national leader and
to a party which has been destructive
in times past, not only of the laborers
reward, but TO the just increment of
capital. The judge wanted 1t distinct-
~ understood that he stood squarely
on the republican platform of Iowa es-
pecially as that instrument referred
to the tariff question, and called upon
his opponent, Ex-Governor Boies, to
successfully deny by his own letter of
acceptance (and Incidentally the only
platform the ex-governor is running
wholly to a policy of for revenue on
w." The judge made strong point
here and the argument of his oppon-
emit that the tariff fosters the trusts
was shown to be an unwarranted con-
clusion. He demonstrated the facts
that tariff schedules ARE not inspired
but are subject to such changes from
time to time as the business and imam
cial condition of the country warrant.
He made it clear to his hearers that
to this policy of revisement he was
thoroughly committed and believed by
their revisement and the making OF
an applicable law stronger than the
John Sherman anti-trust law of 1890,
which the democrats so strongly OPP
posed on the states rights" grounds;
that the trust question would be set
tied with equal justice to all, and too,
by the republican party.

Waterloo, Oct. 23.-The time has now
arrived in the congressional campaign
for politicians to begin to work their
pencils ct estimates upon the probable
results on election day. There no long
er seems to be any doubt among con-
sentative men about the success of the
republican candidate. Judge Birdsall.
The only argument is as to the size of
pluralities. One leading republican
politician of Blackhawk county esti-
mates Birdsall's plurality at 3,400, while
a leading democrat of this city has pub
lished claim in the Courier that gives
the election to Boies by bare plurality
of 100, indicating about the true size of
democratic hopes in this district this
year. The gentleman, who knows the
district well, has prepared an estimate
of probable pluralities by counties,
which is considered conservative, the
figures being as follows:
