THE HOPPER PLAGUE
IT SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT IN
THE WEST AND THE
SOUTHWEST.
~EntomoIogist of the Agricultural De-
partment Sending Out Germs Of a
Fungus Kind Fatal to Grasshop-
pers to All Who Apply for the
Same.

Senators and members Of congress
are receiving many letters regarding
a plague Of grasshoppers which seem
to be prevalent In the west and south
west The states which seen to be most
affected are Nebraska. Wyoming and
Colorado. One correspondent from
North Platte, Neb., writes that the
fields are alive with hoppers." The
Government is doing what it can to
mitigate the misfortune, and to that
end is adopting a new and very extra
ordinary leans to rid the west of this
pest. which annually threatens crops
with destruction and causes an enorm-
Gus financial loss.
Under the direction of the entomolo-
gist of the Agricultural department,
that bureau is putting up in bottles
germs Of fungus kind, deadly to grass
hoppers. and is sending them to parts
Of the country where the damage
threatens to be particularly evere. The
fungus is obtained from South Africa,
where it has been used with great sue
cess recently, vast armies Of grass
hoppers being literally wiped IL by it.
1t is propagated artificially by ap-
plying a bit Of it to a sterilized prep
aration If gelatine and blood serum, or
which the germs multiply. Thus pre-
pared the cultures" are sent out in
glass tubes, corked with absorbent cot
ton, and sealed with red wax, each one
being enclosed in a pasteboard cylin-
der. Directions for use accompany
the package.
In Colorado last summer, there was
an outbreak Of the fungus disease
among grasshoppers and quantities Of
the dead insects were shipped to Wash,
ington and utilized here to NAL Q "cul-
lures" A whitish. threadlike growth
on the bodies of the victims, furnish
ed the requisite germs.
On receiving a bottle Of fungus the
farmer is directed by an accompany
ing printed slip to put a number Of
live grasshoppers in a wooden box, to-
gether with a portion of the germ mate
trial. They will quickly become infect
ed, when he may liberate all but half a
dozen or 80. These when dead will
serve to communicate the disease to
other living grasshoppers, placed in a
box for that purpose. AS fast as they
are infected the "hoppers" are to be
set free in the fields to distribute the
plague among their fellows.
This is a novel and very interesting
way Of treating this perplexing prob
lem and has been used with great sue
cess, and the department Of agriculture
is prepared to send out bottles of this
fungus to all those who apply for the
same.

HAD LETTER FROM
BROTHER IN AFRICA.

Miss Katie Matheson of this city this
morning received a letter from her
brother, John Matheson, who is in
South Africa, and whom she had not
heard from for some time. Several
months ago Mr.. Matheson, who was in
business at Kimberley, left his wife
and children there and started to 10,
h%annesburg. He was held up on the
way on account of the war and cut of
from communication. Mrs. Matheson
supposed he had been killed in the war
and she mourned him as dead. Being
unable to hear a word from him, she
had given herself up to bitter despair
when one day in walked John. as well
and happy as a man could be. There
was a joyful time in that household.
Mrs. Matheson, of course, had commu-
nicated her fears to her relatives in
Laramie, and they, too, were o~verjoyed
this morning at the receipt of the let
ter saying that not only was John not
dead, but that he had no intention Of
dying as long as he saw anybody else
living.
Mr.. Matheson left this country a
good many years ago. He was con
nected with one of the mines at Kim
berley as a carpenter and machinist.

ais from the Hill.

Tie Siding, Wyo., March 31.-(Spe-
cial Correspondence Of The Republi'
can.)-The sno storm of the past
week has been very severe On stock,
as we have been informed by neighbor'
ing ranchmen. There was a fall of
about twenty inches here last Satur,
day, and the roads are in a deplorable
condition.
The dance at the Clark ranch Friday
night was very we'll attended, consid.
ering the state of weather. About
twenty-five young people braved the
| elements and tripped the light fantas.
tic until long after daylight Saturday
morning.
Willis Broadhurst is learning the
blacksmith's trade, and has made the
startling discovery that hot iron will
burn.
VIM. Morris will leave for Lookout in
a few days, where he has a contract
with the Mahoneys to work on the new
grade. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris many
friends here regret to see them leave
our little city.
Mr.. E. Eggleston left this place to-
day with two loads of machinery for
the King Solomon mine.
DR.. Miller was called to the home of
Robert Gearhart last Thursday, where
he found the elder daughter, Helen,
very i'll with Group. At this writing the
little one is resting very well. We are
informed that the good doctor took
more than one tumble from his horse.
as he was making his way to the Gear
hart home, through the huge drifts Of
snow.
The general verdict Of the people in
this community is that Woodland got
his just deserts.
The Jumbo mines have closed for a
short time. Manager Bickerstaff is in
Fort Collins and is unable to return
home on account of the severe storm
of the past week.
VIM. BroadEurst is a visitor in the

Watercress is a good. ~all-round"
brace-up for the system.
Dandelions purify the blood and
generally are declared to one up the
system.
Women as a rule do not consider
strength a necessary thing in their list
of destinations.
Cabbage in Holland is regarded as
something of a blood purifier, but the
authority is vague. In Germany its
efficacy is purely saucrkraut.
Muscular development is absolutely
necessary to a woman. for health and

The burning in the throat called
popularity "~heartburn" shows that acid
fermentation is taking place. A good
palliative is ~bicarhonate of soda. OF
this one t~easpoonful may be taken in
a tumblerful of water. Repeat If the
burning does not pass away.
If you suffer from rheumatism buy 4
penDyworth of flowers of sulphur and
sprinkle it well into the feet of a pair
Of stockings, which you must wear at
night. The sulphur is quickly absorb
eu into the system through the feet.
and. as every one knows. sulphur Is
the remedy for rheumatism.
Some people who have very delicate
skins canno use soap with comfort.
They should use bran. Napoleon never
used soap. but kept his hands beauti-
fully white with bran. One Of the old
kings OF Holland forbade his sons the
use of soap. They used instead bran
and a slice Of lemon; the latter was
for removing ink stains

HUMAN NATURE IN PRIsUN.
Men In Stripes Equal to the Average Of
Those Who Are Free.

A college graduate who has just
been released from u 80 sen
tence in Sing Sinr prison has written
a long article in the New \ ork Herald,
in the course of which he says:
Human nature in prison is exactly
the same as it is in drawing rooms,
counting houses. commercial exchanges
and factories. All kinds and conditions
of men wear the ugly stripes, and il
the vain, bigOted. jaundiced. vitupera-
tive creature who styles himself a
'penologist' should select, at random,
any 100 men in Sing Sing, he would
find their average of mentality, moral
ity and spirituality to be identical with
the average of a like number taken in
the same way from II municipal
thoroughfare. Most people, will sniff
at this statement, but 1t is true never
theless."
This statement seems remarkable on
h face of it, but the close student of
human nature will have to concede
that after all the difference is not great
between the man whose villiany sue
ceeds and the one whose villiany fails.
OF the former class the streets are full.
The latter goes to prison. The en-
bezZler is generally a Spectator who
failed: the successful Spectator is fire.
quently an embezzler who succeeds.
The man who commits a crime while
in the heat of passion or under the
influence of drink is often a better
man at heart than those who condemn
him. The man who robs the rich mer.
chants house is a criminal; what less
is the rich merchant who pays his girl
clerks $3.50 TO $3.50 per week because
circumstances force them to accept
that p%ittance or starve?

DISASTROUS FIRE At
TOWN OF DIAMOkDVILLE.

On Wednesday night all but the
the midst of their slumbers by the
continued sounding OF the Waterworks
whistle. says the Diamondville cor
respondent Of the Kemmerer Camera.
The cause of the alarm was the burn
ing Of the buildings occupied by the
office Of DIR. Gamble and the drug store
of Chas. Henderson.
The fire seems to have originated in
the doctors Office from the heating
stove in which a fire had been left. Mr..
Henderson resides in the rear of his
store and his bedroom is just through
the wall from the doctors Office. Dur
ing the night Mrs. Henderson heard
a cracking noise and woke her husband
but he thought it sounded like the
dripping from melting icicles and went
to sleep. Finally they were again
awakened but only to find the doctors
building in flames and theii own in
danger. The alarm was given by S. A.
Mills and o o a large crowd were
around the burning building.
They succeeded in getting out most
of the. things in the drug store but
everything in the doctors building
was destroyed. There was much
trouble in getting the hose connected
and no water could be thrown on the
fire until Druggist Henderson's build
ing had caught fire. Had TIE water
been obtained O Il he need have lost
nothing.
DR.. Gamble carried 5 2,20O insurance
on his property and Mr.. Henderson
carried $4,000. The doctor will recover
the entire amount Of his insurance but
Mr.. Henderson can collect only 81. 800
less the value of the goods saved.

MONKEYS IN SERVICE.
Two Animals WIN Were Trained to he
of SerYlCe to Man.

The only monkey known to have
been taught to do intelligent work ana
to use its hands to good purpose N
the service of man was a large male
chacma baboon that belonged to a Sig
mailman on the Cape railway at Uiten-
hage, in South Africa. The man had
lost both his legs in a railway accident,
but was given the job of signalman.
When thus employed he taught his
tame baboon to pull the levers which
threw the switches and also to pull
those which hoisted the signals. In
order to reach the levers the signal
nan used to go up the line on a trolley
hand car, which the baboon was taught
to pull. The trolley was then run OF
the side line and the man directed the
baboon to pull the lever. Working at
the signal box was the animals second
and more difficult accomplishment. II
showed the greatest cleverness in fol-
lowing directions. Recently it died.
The same species of baboon, which IS
a common and mischievous animal in
the Cape Colony and other parts of
South Africa. has been made useful
before, though not trained to any regu-
lar business. lie valiant. one Of the
early travellers at the Cape, had a tame
one which kept a more vigilant watch
in his camp than any of his dogs.
1t used to accompany him out when
shooting and was of service in finding
the water which lies buried under the
sand in those hot and rocky regions.

They say the weather at Jelm has been

who went out Monday.
DR.. Clark has resigned as manager
of the Gold Hill Mining company and
has about perfected plans for launch
ing another company to develop aroth-

ceeded in putting the Gold Hill to the
good, with stock netting 80 cents and
several hundred dollars in the treas

The new plant of machinery has

company's claim. He will go to Chey-

Few of us have an accurate idea Of
the rate at which fish swim. When we
say that a person Is "as fast as a por-
poise," we hardly associate a quick
rate of swimming with that individual,
yet porpoises have been seen to dart
round and round a steamer travelling
seventeen miles an hour.
The dolphin may be placed on a
level with the porpoise. but the bonito
has occasionally been known to ap-
proach forty miles for short distances.
Herrings, in shoals, move steadily
at a rate Of between ten and twelve
miles; mackeral swim much faster,
and both trout and salmon go at a
rapid pace when swimming up a stream
for spawning.
