activity. In both towns the fight was
fast and furious. and in both the G. o

capital city they carried everything
in sight, which was a foregone con
clusion with anyone who had studied
the lineup, even from a distance. In
the town on Goose creek the Independ

republicans and everything else that
could be gotten in line-were arrayed
against the straight republicans, the
latter winning out with six council
men against two councilmen and the
mayor for the combination. To those
who know Sheridan politics this Is a

nounced that President Small of the
Commercial Photographers Union OF
America extended the strike of the
telegraphers by ordering out the oper-
ators of the Western Union and Pos
tai companies in another city to help

until the message reaches its destina-
ton.
Orders for the extension of the
strike, it is declared, were mailed by
Small last night. 1t Is believed by
many of the operators that either

be the scene of the next walkout,
while some declare that the men in
Chicago, regarded as the key to the
telegraph situation of the entire coun
try, have been ordered out.

GREAT HORDE OF LOCUSTS DUE.
Arrival Of Thirteen. Year Species Is
Forecast for Missouri.

Columbia, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-"There will
be due in Missouri this comping spring
the largest brood of the thirteen-year
locusts. or periodical cicadas,' known
in this state. The locusts will appear
in all the wooded portions of the state
except the northwest corner, and they
should make their appearance in i'm
mense numbers by the latter part of
May. The prairie sections will be ex-
empt."
]. M. Stedman, entomologist of the
experiment station at the University
of Missouri, makes this statement in
a note of warning, copies Of which
will be mailed to points throughout
the state.
This brood is one that natures ev-
cry thirteen years, but is the same
species as those which mature every
seventeen years." says Mr.. Stedman.
These insects occur in immense num-
bers near timber lands, and are liable
to do much damage to newly planted
orchards by puncturing the limbs to
deposit their eggs.
"One will. therefore, run great risks
in setting out an orchard this spring
near timber or in thickly timbered reg
ions. 1t would be advisable before con-
Guiding to set trees this spring, to
consult the older inhabitants in your
region as regards the occurrence of
the locust thirteen years ago in that
locality.
THE eggs which the female cicadas
deposit in the twigs of the orchard

the young drop to the ground and
enter 1t, remaining there extracting
sap from the roots for either thirteen
or seventeen years, according to the
breed, and doing no appreciate dam

BAND OF FLAT THIEVES

1t was through the arrest of Ame-
liza Russell, a striking appearing wo-
man of 81 years, that the detectives
got on the trail of the rest of the pris-
oners. The Russell woman was ar
rested in boarding house at 145 West
Sixty-fourth street, where she had
been regarded as woman of excel
lent reputation.
With her was George Charts, from
whom the police obtained information
leading to the recovery of most of
the loot and the rendezvous of the
alleged thieves. The Russell woman
the police believe, was the director of
the operations of the band. She had
plenty of money, was splendidly Dress
ed and was easily the master mind of
the group of prisoners.

their homes in Brooklyn and Joined
the alleged band.
In the fiat in West One Hundred
and Eighth street the detectives found
a complete opium layout, sixty-three
pawn tickets for articles on which
amount ranging from 50 to SIS had
been loaned, and six dress suit cases
stuffed with plumber of various sorts.
According to Charts, who, because of
mistreatment at the hands of tho Rus
sell woman, had turned informer, the
thieves had pawned hundreds of dol
lars worth of property to a Harlem
broker, who did not issue tickets. The
police declared that they would ar
rest the pawnbroker. The prisoners
were all held in $1,000 bail for exami-
nation in the West Side court.
