settling in this section. Judging from re-
ports received a few days ago It was be-
lieved by some that the green bugs were
not only attacking wheat, but were tearing
down farm buildings and wrecking trains
throughout Nebraska. Only five persons
out of 1877 queried on the subject replied
that there were any indications of these
hydra-headed monsters In the wheat, the
others saying there were no indications in
their localities. This query also included
"other insects"

Stamps as Detectives.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 The new series of postage stamps to be issued by the United States this year will be a great departure from the stamps to which letter writers are accustomed, Hitherto similar stamps have been used all over the country, and there has been no means of determining from what office they have been sold to consumers. All this will be changed under the new sys- tenn, and every postoffice of the land will receive due credit for the amount of postage stamps which it sells which furnishes the only basis upon which the business of the office can be estimated
 The new postage stamps of 1907 will bear on their face the name of the city and State in which they are sold, and 1t will make no difference in what part of the country they are used the city of their origin will have the credit for their sale
 Postage stamps in the past have proved to be exceptionally negotiable plunder for the light fingered gentry The Chicago postofhce at little while ago, was robbed of nearly s100,oO0 worth of stamps of small denominations, and no trace of the per petrators was ever discovered.
 With each gummed piece of paper an inanimate detective by means of the name of Its city of origin, 1t is scarcely possible that thief could so completely cover his tracks in disposing of his booty.

Swift Auto Rides Cure Consumption

From the New York World.
 There is a new cure for consumption. It was announced in this city yesterday by Dr. Pierre Bakaleinik. The cure consists in passing swiftly through the air-riding on the cowcatcher of a locomotive, for instance. The doctor came to the World office the other night and explained all about it.

T advised patient with tuberculo- SIS to try it, and after thirty-three days spent in travelling on locomotive. plus lorty-nve days on a steamer, keeping all the time in the blow, the patient is apparently entirely cured. He had pre- vlously taken the fresh air treatment Tor months without benefit"
 Riding on the front seat of an auto mobile is also highly recommended, al though somewhat jarring to sensitive patients in case of collision. Falling from a balloon would be extraordi- narily exhilirating, too, it is said, were it not for the strain on the mind pro- duced by the fear of stopping too quickly.

Of Interest to
Launch Owners

Launch owners in this county " i'll
be glad to know that Assistant At
torney- General Falknor has rendered
an opinion that the state navigation
law, passed by the late legislature,
does not apply to launches operated
on the waters of Puget Sound or the
Columbia river, or their tributaries,
over which federal jurisdic ton is ex-
elusive. AS the opinion was rendered
to the state labor commissioner, who
is charged with the enforcement of
the law, it is hardly likely that own
ers of launches of less than fifteen
gross tons burden, operated on Pu-
get Sound or it's tributaries, will find
it necessary to pay any further at
tention to the act, which went into
effect June r. It will doubtless be
enforced on inland lakes and rivers.
