That All Danger Is Past.

Washington. May 15.-Tt is an
nounced by the agricultural depart
ment that the green bug or spring
grain aphis, which has done so much
damage to wheat and other small
grains in Texas and Oklahoma. and in
a few of the southern counties of Kan
sas, already is practically exterminated
by its natural parasite, a very minute
black fly. In Texas and Oklahoma the
bug has practically disappeared
through the action of the parasite and
q report from southern Kansas re-
ceived by the department today states
that at least 500 per cent of the bugs
now are parasitized in all the infested
fields in that section. The report adds
that II the fayora bic weather continues
the present week the bug will have
been absolutely externinated
Millions OF parasites continues
the report. ARE coming out in every

The bureau of entomology of the ag
ricultural department has aided the
work by sending hundreds of thou
sands of the parasites from Oklahoma
and Texas into Kansas Three agents
of the bureau now are in the field di

banks were caught in the recent Wall

ers have been Hmping since. and why so
many Of Pittsburg's wealthy have been

the facts yesterday and added:
When the slump in stocks between
March IA and March 90 was al its
worst. several big PittsburgerS were
caught hard. and they appealed for cash
help They asserted that unless Pitts
burg banks came TO the rescue there
would be a great splash OF Pittsburg

Rponded. and not less than 80 million
dollars in money was hurried to New

Pittsburg said:

of flesh in six weeks. When he came

and thin. and his appearance alarmed
his friends. The Wall street slump

Hoch an applicat ton for a pardon for
her son. Robert Burton. who is serving
a term in the penitentiary for the mur-
der Of a young man named Huffman.

killed Huffman. and saw the young
man come staggering up the street af-
ter being shot HUFFMAN fell dead right
in front OF Governor Hoch-s printing
Office.
The trouble between Burton and
Huffman was over a girl. Both loved
the same lady. and Burton had heard
that Huffman threatened to make q
corpse of him if he did not leave the
girl alone Burton was from Texas and
thought that Huffman meant what he
said II was we'll known that Huffman
was rather tough young man. and
Burton was on his guard. One day
Huffman came into the store where
Burton worked. Burton says that Huff
man reached for his hip pocket 10

and shot the side or from Hunrman's
face. No revolver was found in Huff-
mans pocket but il developed after
the trial that Huffman's brother had
