Wien the Grassboppers Ansqvered Prayer
cA Memorable DAY in Kansas City


hoping for better things the next
year.
Next spring about the time the
farmers got their crops and corn plant
ed countless millions of grassh0ppers
covered the ground, coming from
no one knew where. The hungry
hordes began to eat everything green,
trimming the trees and fields as bare
as as burnt over prairie, and as
soon as the sprOuting crops became
visible the hoppers devOured them as
greedily as a famshed wolf would a
chicken. Missouri and Kansas peo-
pie suffered, but their sorrows were
short compared with what we OF
Dakota passed through. The people
of Dakota prayed for relief like the
people of Missouri, but it seems that
territorial prayers were not so strong
or so effective as the state brand, for
Missouri found relief in the midst Of
the first years curse, while in Oak
Ota the scOurage lasted for three years.
Mr.. Collins says the man for whom
he was working fought nobly against
the hordes of hoppers, but all to no
purpose. He planted his corn four
times during the spring of 1875, and
when the sprouting blades of the
fourth planting had been chaw'd off
to the ground, he became thoroughly
disheartened and told Tom he would
have to let him 60. Tom was the
last one of the help that was let out.
Some had gone with each hopper
raid on the greentields. Tom was a
gritty youth but he realized that he
had to leave and seek work elsewhere.
He had fifteen dollars when he left
on foot for Illinois. He walked &C
cross Missouri and through Illinois
almost to the Indiana line before
he found work at fifteen dollars a
month, and they dubbed him the
Missouri grasshopper because of his
misfortune.
Tom says the ground was literally
covered with the plague and nothing
escaped them.
In Dakota Territory it was just as

Tom Collins of this city used to
live in Missouri, and it was during
the time when the fearful scourage
of grasshoppers devastated portions
of the west. His experience down
near Kansas City was the experience
of evcry resident in Dakota Territory
from 1874 to 1877.
Tom was working for farmer
near Kansas City in 1874 for fifteen
dollars a month, and was doing his
best to help support his mother ana
the youngest members of the family,
his father being dead. During that
year between a severe drouth ana
chinch bugs the farmers OF that re-
gion secured no returns from their
labors, and everyone was pinched,
but all pulled through the winter

The to-Date Pharmacy

this commonwealth went up to
heaven asking that the plague of the
grasshoppers be lifted and how that
prayer was answered with prompt
ness that astonished the scotlers.
Non-religiouS people contended that
the grasshoppers would have left
when they did even if not a prayer
had been offered. But the fact re-
mains that the grasshoppers had been
swarming over the state in ever in
creasing myraids until the very
morning of the day of prayer appoint
ed by the governor and upon that
day, June ;, 1875. the grasshopperS
arose in clouds which Unsecured the
sun and at the very hour when the
churches of the state were filled with
worshippers, the clouds of grasshop-
pers flew away and to this day have
not returned.
The grasshopper plague began in
the spring of 1874 in the states west
of Kansas. All that summer word
came over the wire that the lOcuStS
were being Matched out by the tril-
lions. In the spring Of 1875 they ap-
peared in swarms all over Kansas and
Western Missouri. They were in
such numbers that they stopped
trains everywhere, the rails becoming
SO oily and smooth from the crushed
insects that the engine driving wheels
slipped upon them. They ate every
green thing they came upon and
stripped the fields as bare as stretch
of desert land. In the spring OF 1878
farmers in Kansas and Missouri plant
ed corn as many as four times and
each time it appeared above the
ground the green blades were eaten
by the hoppers. Because OF this
plague thousands of farmers deserted
Kansas and moved i'sback East
THE GovERNRR's PROCLAMATION.
In Johnson county Missouri, in the
spring of 1875 the grasshoppers ate
up completely 1000 acres Of wheat
and 1858 acres of corn, besides strip
ping the fields of every green growing
thing. The farmers Of Western Mis-
souri, drove their cattle to Northern
Kansas and Nebraska for pasturage
and in one day 5000 head of cattle
crossed the Leavenworth bridge.
The greatest damage was done in
Jackson, Clay, Bates, Vernon, Henry,
Cass, johnson, Lafayette, Ray, Platte,
Clinton, Buchanan and Andrew
counties, in Missouri, and in the
counties opposite in Kansas
May II, 1875, Governor c. H.. Hard
in of Missouri issued the following
proclamation:
Whereas. Owing to the failures and loses
| of crops much suffering has been endured by
| our people during the past few months and
| similar cal amities are impending on larger
| communities. and possibly may extend to
| the whole state. and IL not abated will

bad, and worse, because prayer had
no effect. or the Lord didn't heed
the prayers of our people. We may
have been more wicked and deserving
of greater punishment than the Mis-
sourians, because the hoppers ate
everything in sight for three years in
spite of prayer and coal oil.
Lincoln county suffered terribly,
and everybody who was able to get
away went. In 1876 the government
sent great quantity of bacon, flour,
clothing and other things here in
charge of Lieut.. Ogle Of the 18th in
fantry, who made his headquarters
at the Johnson Hotel corner Of Main
and Sth street, where supplies were
issued according to the necessities or
the applicant. 1t was a sorrowful
period in the lives of many yet living
in the county. Nobody had much,
everybody needed something, and
only those who we're actually suffer-
ing applied for relief. Lieut.. Ogle
issued his supplies as judiciCusly as
possible and left for his post at Fort
Rice. where he died few years after.
The good people of Lincoln county
passed the winter of 1867 as best
they could, and as the little hoppers
sprouted from the earth in millions
early in the spring the people fought
them heroically with great pans filled
with coal Oil which were showed along
the ground, and as the hoppers jump
ed they generally landed in the Oil
which killed them instantly. Thou

Canton and over the country, and
every man was working hard. In
dividually and collectively the people
prayed for relief, but our memory
fails to recall a governors proclama-
tion for fasting and prayer, and that
may have been the cause for our
punishment, but prayers were finally
answered. dIu CilC SlCduCoC oSoul oSS
this country ever passed through was
over as the winged clouds of destruc-

Where they went no one knows and
no one cares.
Mr. Collins handed us copy of the
Kansas City Star which contains a
a full report of the hopper raid in
that country. 1t will make good
reading for those under forty, and
some of the old timers, in the midst
of their abundance now. can look
backward and thank the Lord that
the hoppers never returned. The
following article from the Kansas
City Star, gives an account of the
hoppers down there, and no man can
imagine the horror of the destruction
who never saw grasshopper war:
