AID TO GRAssHoPPER FIGHT.
Aggie Professor Finds Worm That
Eats Eggs of Pests.

Dodge City, Kan, Sept. 12.-An ac-
tive little worm is aiding the farmers
of western Kansas in their fight on
the grasshoppers. This has been dis
covered by Prof C. c. Hamilton of
the State Agricultural college, who is
in Dodge City. Professor Hamilton
has been sent out by the college to
investigate the conditions of the hop
per pest that visited this section in
July. In connection with this investi-
CATION he dug up a number of the
egg pods deposited in the earth by the
female hoppers, and in them he found
a worm that is eating the eggs.
The presence of the worm is much
greater in some sections of the ter
ritory than in others, but Professor
Hamilton has been so far unable to
discover the reason.
Each female hopper deposits
enough egg pods to hold about 100
eggs and the activity of this worm
may reduce greatly the number of
hoppers that will be Matched in Octo-
Der to feed on the growing wheat.
Professor Hamilton has sent a number
of the egg pods to the college to have
his associates hatch out the eggs and
determine what worm is eating them.

to q statement made to the Topeka
State Journal correspondent by off
Gals of the Casualty hospital, where
he is under treatment.
Reilly was shot in the abdomen. He
is now eating solid food, and what
nourishment he takes seems to agree
with him The wound is in splendid
condition, it is stated, and only COM
plications that are not now antici-
pated could prove a setback to the pa
tient.
The dragnet thrown out by the
police chief to encompass Schultz ex-
tends practically over the entire world,
and circulars bearing a splendid like
ness of the alleged asailant are posted
in every city of any size and most of
the smaller towns throughout the
country.
why they have not attracted at
tention to him, stated a member of
the police force, q cannot understand.
Schultz ought to be easy to identify,
and it is a mystery how he has man
aged to keep out of sight for so long

has killed himself"
1t is the belief of the police of
Washington that Schultz had very
little money other than the 5000 he
drew from bank before leaving for
Denver prior to the shooting. The
strange part of the affair, so far as
the police are concerned. is that so
far as they have been able to ascer-
tain no acquaintance or other person
has actually seen Schultz since the
morning of the shooting when Reilly
was with him.
Young Reilly has improved so much

ditional statement is not necessary,
however, the police say, as he already
has told them everything he processes
