WHAT BECOMES OF eRAssHoP.
PERS.

During the months of August and
September our common grasshopper
decrease very rapidly in numbers. Be.
fore dying they succeed in deposit
ing in little holes which they are able
to dig into the earth, eggs. which hatch
to continue their kind another spring
The situations most chosen for egg
laying are the borders of infected
fields. ditch banks, and roadsides.
II the grasshoppers have been abun.
dant the past summer the farmers
should endeavor to determine where
the grasshoppers are depositing their
eggg this fall i. If they have been
present in large numbers 1t is almost
certain that 1t will pay the farmer
well ito take some means to destroy
the eggs before they hatch in the
spring.
If infested ground can be plowed
very late in the fall, or at any time
during the winter or early spring, and
well narrowed, this will probably ,be'
the most effectual means that can
be used for the destruction of the
eggs or the young grasshoppers that
hatch from them. as very few of the
latter will be able to find their way
to the surface of the ground.
In fields of alfalfa or clover, or
even upon ditch banks and along road
sides, where plowing cannot be done.
the eggs may be very largely destroy.
ed by thorough narrowing of the sur
face of the ground. The best tool to
use for this purpose is the disc. In
case of an infected alfalfa field, the
benefit resulting from thorough bar
rowing of the ground during winter
or early spring will far more than
pay for the expense of doing the work,
besides destroying the grasshopper
eggs. If these methods of destroying
the eggs were closely attended to year
by year, they would prove Of more
service than all else that can be done
to keep grasshoppers in check.

of 6s1 Grant street and DR.. Arthur
Seabury of Lamar, who we're united at
Goodland. Kan. on October 10.
Miss Tower has been living quietly
at her home and the doctor has been
living In Lamar. Their best friends
have not suspected that they were
married to each other. The marriage
is really the fulfiilment Of vow made
by the doctor years ago. At the time
he said:
"If / ever get a divorce from my
wife I'll marry Effe Tower the next
day
HE did it, too. On October 9 he
was divorced from Mrs. Seabury at
Lamar. Then he figuratively seized
Miss Tower around the waist and the
pair raced to Goodland, Kan, and go;
hitched up.
Then they came back to Denver
Here they lived together for a week
at the Plymouth. Then the doctor
went to Lamar. He's there yet. Mean
while Mrs. Seabury, the second, con
tinued to work for an insurance com
pany till October 81. Since then she's
been living at 6S1 Grant street witt
her parents. .....
DR.. Seabury is perhaps so years ole
and Miss Tower is about 3o. The!
have been sweethearts for eighteeI
years. They used to go together con
} stantly. but Miss Tower seemed reluc
tant about entering the matrimonial
state, and twelve years ago DR.. Sea
bury got tired courting her. He maj
ried another woman Just out of spite
The doctor and his wife lived togethe
| happily for some time. though. Blu
last October 9 the doctor got the d
vorce.
THE interesting point about tn
wedding Is that Mrs. Seabury used
: trousseau she had prepared for he
: wedding with another man. Abou
! a year ago she was engaged to AdaI
Wagner She had her gowns all read
and the invitations were out, whe
the match was abruptly called of
g Mrs. Seabury saved the gowns wit
4 providential care. and this enabled he
\ to feel, when she married the doctc
y so swiftly. that 1t was not done witt
r out due preparation.
{ Mrs. Seabury as Miss Effie Towe
!. has been known in Denver society q
the daughter of H. F. Tower. stat
: land appraiser, and sister-in-law Of /
! C. Miller, ex-attorney general of Col
3 rado.
ut is presumed that DR.. and Mr.
Seabury haven't decided yet wher
they'll make their home"

excrres MUCH CURIOSITY.

Miss Elkins is still the center of a
small cyclone of curiosity on the part
OF those eager to find out whether she
will marry the duke Of Abruzu or not
A ring recently sent to him and valued
at $4,000 wac supposed by some to
be his engagement ring returned. and
on tie part of others 1t was declared
to be ring she exchanged with him.
One thing is a consolation, however.
and that is that the worst. or best
will be known before long.
that has ever been rendered, and will
establish a precedent in cases against
alleged murderers of government Of
| ficers
The arguments on the demurrer and
| the plea in bar were made last July
and Judge Lewis has spent many
months examining the authorities,
knowing that the case was one of vast
importance as establishing precedent
for all future cases of like nature.
| United States Attorney Ward today
wired Assistant Attorney General
Rush at Omaha of the decision and
tomorrow Mr.. Ward will be in Omaha
and consult with him as to the plan
of action.
The decision is victory for the
two men and the second they have
achieved since they were charged with
the murder. The government gave
the state every assistance In the trial
at Durango and its agents were used
to assist in the collection Of evidence.
Walker was killed near Hesperus
while working under the department
of justice and attempting to collect
evidence for the prosecution Of the
owners of the Porter Fuel company
The men were employees of the Porter
Fuel company.
An interesting feature of the de-
cision was that 1t was handed down
at 1890 o'clock today by Judge Lewis
Just year to the minute of the an
niversary of the murder of Walker
. He was shot on Nov. 3 at 10:30 O'Clock
d in the morning.
Thomas j. Callaghan, who was in
the mine when Walker was killed, is
l. now connected with the secret serv
ice in Denver and one of the govern
ment's trusted agents.

Society Gossip for
the Past Week

Tne party grist this week is small
since society is busy pushing the pipe
organ business, all OF which is very
commendable of society. and the pub
lie is correspondingly grateful, to the
tune of more dollars and cents than
we are prepared to say The public
is, however, always willing to pay for
genuine amusement, and the carnival
in Red Men hall this week is the real
thing. We do not doubt that the Ia
dies and gentlemen taking part in the
carnival managed to get reasonable
amount of fun out of it-at least they
should. If 1t is any consolation to
reflect on other peoples happiness,
then let the ladies' rejoice, for the pub
ic have voted unanimously that the
Authors carnival is the best ever.
The ladies Of the Episcopal church
arranged a genuine surprise Wednes-
day afternoon when Mrs. Doggett, the
rectors wife, was suddenly inundated
with shower of cooking utensils Mrs
Doggett was invited to Mrs. Jack Pear
sons to meet few friends and was
astonished when confronted with
large gathering. Games became the
order of the day. and the blindfolding
of Mrs. Doggett was the signal for the
drawing Of the curtains upon display
of gifts for the rectory kitchen, which
quite overwhelmed the recipient. Up.
on her return home new stove still
further attested the warmth of heart
of the kind donors. The tenth ami
versary of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Doggett had received very ap.
propriate recognition.

The offer was made to the board OF trustees
Of that club and the board instructed Chair.
man X. c. Veit 10 appoint q representative

various owners the schedule and conditions
for the cup, and the board expressed ts

the Atlantic Yacht Club and his desire to
promote ocean racing
he committee appointed consisted Of
Robert r. Tod, George n, Church, Theodore
D. Wells, Hendon Chubb. John r. Brophy
and X. G. yeit, and this committee has re-
ported that Mr.. Thompson submitted designs
