PROPHET SAYS
IT MEANS WAR
Letter u 3gai1A9p03TS on Hin gS
Of Seventeen Year l0GuStS.

Walkers Mills, Pa, Sept. 4.-Hora-
ito Markham, the we'll known author
ity on the habits CT the 17-year locust,
reported that they had just arrived
X this locality. He has predicted for
fevcraI months that they would posi-
lively arrive in the first week of Sep
TENDER and he produced half dozen
of the bugs which he succeeded in
catching. Mr. Markham after exam
lining the locusts under a powerful
microscope said that this years To-
Gusts had very deep red lines radiat-
ing in the figure "W' on each wing.
He declares that this means that
the United States will soon be engag-
ed in bloody war. The aged hermit,
who is now in his ninety-third year.
says that the 17-year locusts always
come to warn the country OF war or
want. IL the years in which the red
lines appeared On the wings, Mr..
Markham says, war always fol
lowed. and il those years in which
the red lines were not in evidence the
country was visited by a panic.
Mr.. Markham received much nOtori-
ETY. all over the country in 1894 for
his prediction Of the Spanish-Ameyi-
can war. He also foretOld the Rus
sian-Jalsnese war and its results. He
says that the forthcoming war will
be even more terrible than the re-
cent conflict.
Mr.. Markham's family have been
known for years for their wonderful
predictions which they have made
from their deductions taken from the
wings of the locusts. Both his father
and grandfather were authorities on
the subject and Mr.. Markham has
records which he says show they sue
cessfully Predicted the wars of 1872,
the Mexican and civil wars, as we'll
as the panics Of 1887, 1857 and 1878.

MAINE threatened
With iETO SPELL
Change Of HeaTi Predicted After
Long DTOlth.

Portland, Me-, SEPT. 4.-The ~pes5i-
bility that Maine may repudiate Pro-
hibition grows stronger as election
day, which comes on the 11th day OF
this month, draws nearer. Two
months ago hardly a person at all
familiar with public sentiment in the
state believed that there was more
than a ghost Of a chance that the pro
hibitCry amendment would be an
nulled when the people came to vote
upon it.
The temperance organizations. the
churches and the oranges, all Of
which are united for the law, got in
their work so early and with such
vigor that they seemed for a time TO
have driven completely to cover what
ever anti-prOhibitiOn sentiment there
may have been and the only question
asked was by what majority would the
amendment be retained. The only
thing that caused any uncertainty
whatever, was the strong disposition
manifest on the part of the average
voter to keep to himself whatever his
sentiments may have been.
But within a few weeks all this
has changed. Voters are talking more
freely and with this lossening up on
their part, there came at first hope,
then courage, and now what seems to
be absolute confidence on the part
of those who have been conducting
the campaign against the amendment
