from the farming districts of the
state show that grasshoppers have
literally been eating up dollars during
the past few weeks, for large numbers
of huge fields of beans have been

traps in their determination of the
grasshoppers The most popular trap
is a curious affair made of canvas
or netting stretched over frame
work of wood. This is drawn by
horses over the field The insects

There appears to be some misap-
prehension as regards the provisions
in the postal bill relating to the de-
livery of mail on Sunday. This pro-
vision does not require the closing
of postoffices on Sunday, which
would be impossible, owing to the
fact that the transit mail has to be
sorted and also the mail collected
in cities for dispatch to other desti
nations.
To stop the movement of the mai
would mean a serious clogging of the
whole system and consequently in
convenience to the public.

Nash's Store Burns.

At 50 O clock Monday morning the general store of o. o. Nash To- cated at the west edge of town was discovered on fire and the flames had gained such headway that the building and contents were entirely consumed. The general opinion of all is that the store had been brok- en into by burglars, as the back door was partly open when the fire was discovered, and that the fire was started from match thrown on the floor by them, either inten- tionally or accidently. Mir. Nash had no insurance on the building or stock and estimates his loss at $1 10000 which is indeed a hard blow to him financially.
