The Great Northern has joined the
Northern Pacific in preparing for the
ac'vent of the Rocky Mountain locust
should it threaten to invade the Dako
tas. A circular has been issued by
General Traffic Manager Clarke to the
agentfi along the line of the Great
Northern, and by General Freight
Agent Mocre, of the Northern Pacific,
to agents on his line, calling their at
tention to the fact that the locust is
lv-avir.s its native home, and that it is
possible that it may invade the terri
tory of the road. The circular states
that at the present time but a few
places in North ami South Dakota are
inl'esuti with the pest, ar.d that if taken
in hand at once it will hi an easy mat
ter to keep them from spreading over
any great area.

they can be destroyed by sprinkling
paris green on the grain in front of
them.
Agents are instructed to post the r>i:-
culais sent them in co.n&picuoas places
and to distribute them among the
farmers. These r. ad as follows:
To Agents— The following Is furnished as a
timely worning by Prof. Otto Lugter, state
ontomclog.st, University of Minnesota:
As the destructlxe Rocky mountain locust
Is aga n 1.-aving it 3 native he/me and is
moving eastward, there '.s danger of an in
vasion, hence :t Is be^t to be prepared. Pa;t
experience tvs shown that we must be well
prepared to commence a sueeassful war. At
present only a few places in Xcrth ar.d South
Dakota are infrs'ed wi h this p?st, and bat
11U12 fesr r.eid be entertained on their ac
cjunt, but more and larger |wanna will be
the consequence if the grasshoppers now
found in our fields arc neglected and per
mitted to multiply- "Aa ounce of prevention
Is worth a pound of cure."
As is best to know our foe if wo in! end to
fight him, pictures of the Western or de:truc
tivfc prnss'ropper are given bsliw. All are of
natural size, and show the diff^re^t stages of
the insect as well as the eggs and msthed of
laying them.
The best remedy is to destroy the eggs, or
to prevent their hatching. Th's can only te
done by plow ng all land coota rring eggs
during auiuran and eerly spring. he.;ce it ia
too late now to apply trH remedy.
If the young lcousts are scattered over a
field, and if the crops are too much injured
to be worth saving, the field should be
plowed. A number of plo-ws should be used

at the same time, the plows following each
other as closely zs poss.bla. By c:mren:.Dg
the operation at th? outer cuge of a field we
force the insects toward the center, where
they are crowded together and covered up.
If the young locusts are still feed Hg in
regular armies side by side the plants In
front of them should be du=ted with Paris
green or London purple, this will kill most
of them.
To protect our plr.nts in gardens and fields
from which chickens and cattle can be kep:
away, we can employ with excellent results
baits made of bra.n-mash or Paris green.
These are made by thoroughly mixing two
pounds of poison with twenty-fiVe pounds of
dry rye or wheat bran, to this is added
enough water to form a thick mash, which
formed into balls, are laid upon the ground.
This material possesses a wonderiul attrac
tion to the grasshoppers.
The "hopper-dozers" mostly used are made
as follows: A sheet of ordinary sheet Iron.

turned up one and one-half inches around the
edges and riveted at the corners. This makes
a shallow pan about eight feet long, two feet
broad and one and one-half inches deep. To
the bottom of this are riveted six small strips,
which can be fastened to the three runners
on which the pan rests. To the rear side of I
the pan is screwed a light wooden frame, as j
long as the pan and one and one-half feet !
high. Over this frame a piece ol canvas is
stretched. This frame serves the important
office of throwing back all those locusts ;h-t
otherwise Jump clear over the pan, and to
throw them Into the oil. The runners on
which the pan rests are usually made from
saplings or small pieces of board having an
upward curve in front to prevent them from
catching in the ground. The front end of the
runners are ail fastened by screws to a cross
piece, which i=- in turn drawn by two ropes,
one at each end. These ropes are jninprt in
front and fastened to a single-tree. Some
times two "hopper-dozers" are fast:ned to
a long pole by m-eaiis of short ropes; this is
very easily drawn by one horse. Just In
front of the pan is fastened a piece cf rope
which sweeps the ground a few inches in ad
vance and serves to stir up the hoppers and
make them jump into the pans. In the pans
Is laid a piece of cloth, which is first thor
oughly saturated with water. About a pint
of kerosine oil is then thrown in and the
upright sheet or sail of canvas is nlsa
moistened with it. The machine is drawn
over the fields or wherever the locusts are
thickest. In a short time it i* usually par
tially flllc-d with dead or dying insects.
The slightest touch of kerosene oil, either
from the pan or from the canvas sheet behind
it, means death to the locust, for the nil
spreads over its body !n the same way that
a single drop cf it will spread over a lares
surface of water.
In a recent bulletin, Prof. Lugger re
counts the visitations of locusts to
Minnesota from the times of the tra
ditions of the Indians, when, at one
period, the grasshoppers maintained
possession of a'l the state as far east
as the present city of Still water for
seventeen years, devastating the coun
try each year, down to the year 1766,
when C&ptJonathan Carver mentions
the swarms ~dt locusts that infested the

region) then on to the plague of 1818,
whioh visited Lord Selkirk's Red river
colony and came on down into Minne
sota; the visitations of 1830, 1842, 1849
and 1857, In which latter year the crops
of the Red river valley were destroyed.
In this year they reached as far as
St. Anthony, near Minneapolis. From
1563 to 1877 "there was hardly~a year in
■which the pest did not appear. In the
latter year the young locusts hatched in
forty-two counties, destroying 337,188
acres of grain in nineteen counties. In
ISBS, a few locusts appeared, and again
in 1888. In this latter year, the citizens
of Perham offered a bounty of $1 per
bushel, amd by the "balloon h~- ■
catcher" nearly 15,000 bushels were
caucht. It takes about 7,000 grasshop
pers to a bushel, so that over 100,000,
--000 were destroyed by this means alone.
Hnce 1891, the state has been free
from the pests, but on this point of
freedom from invasion Prof. Lugger
says:
Our farmers cannot expect that these mi
gratory locusts will not again appear In
the future. In fact, our state, or rather
portions of our state, are uncomfortably
near the permanent breeding grounds of
this locust, which extend chiefly along ths
Eastern Rocky mountain range, from lon
gitude 102 degrees to 140 degrees west of
Greenwich, and from latitude 53 degrees
to 40 degrees north, comprising most of
the levels below an altitude of 6,000 feet,
and above 3.000 feet. In many portions of
th:s area they breed every year and lead
an essential migratory existence. Th's
permanent breeding area gradually shades
into a subpermanent region, In which lo
custs breed more or less frequently, and
which '.s liable to be invaded at any tims,
or rather, whenever the in-ects become veiy
numerous Sn their true breeding grounds.
This region includes a large portion of
British America, nearly all of the Dakotas,
Western Nebraska, Northwest Kansas and
the northern half of Colorado. Although
Minnesota may be said to be located in tUe
temporary region, i. c., a region only peri
odically visited, yet parts of our state are
■ unpleasantly neer the boundary or danger
' line, and, therefore, apt to be overrun by
' hordes of hungry locusts, and such has fro
j quently been the case, as shown above.
i From ]?63 to 1878 there was hardly a year
j in which locusts" did not occur in sufficient
numbers to injure crops somewhere. When
; not occurring elsewhere they were surely
! found in 'he Red river valley. They did not
: breed there during all these year-;, but s::ni
cient new swarms came from the Northwest
to recruit the invading army and make it
formidable.
The bulletin goes into an exhaustive
| ar.d interesting desjr ption of 'he me>h
etl of der os ting ths eggs, hatching and
iso on. This part of .the bulletin and in
fact all of it, is profusely illustrated,
many of th; illustration.? being original.
Summing up the point of e^g deposit
: the professor says:
By plowing the fields containing eggs of
the Rocky mountain locust, we perform two
i operations: First of all, we remove the eggs
' from r>par Trie surface and eo\er them with
five or six inches of soil; secondly, we In
; vert the position of the hole containing the
eg^-mass, eg that instead of its mouth
I pointing upwards, it no?/ points downwards.
At all events, the young insects afe pre
; vented from reaching tlve jurfaee. if this
I becomes compacted by rain and snow. Con
: sequc-ntly, if we plow during autumn, or
soon after the eggs are laid, we are safe;
although if we plow in the spring, with a
normal amount of rain, we also effectually
prevent their hatching. Plowing has this
additional advantage: The egg-masses in
many cases are thoroughly broken up, the
individual eggs become surrounded by earth
and moisture, and beng no longer protected
by the waterproof coat of dried mucous
matter, they soon rot and perish. It we
desire to get rid of the migratory species of
i locusts, now infesting several places in the
state, it is absolutely necessary to plow
every inch of the cultivated ground through
out tho invaded region, or all land in which
eggs have been laid.
Some interesting experiments have
been carried on by Prof. Lugger to
drmenstrate whether or net young lo
cusrs can reach the su-fice after being
hatched under grourd in a plowed field.
Out of the es-gs which he hi"ViS2!f plant
ed in these experiments the following
important facts were developed:
In dry soil the eggs planted one inch below
the surface produced 93 per cent of locusts;
two inches below, 86 per cent; three inches,
51 per cent: four inches. 13 per cent; five
inches, 2 per cent; six inches, none.
In soil moistened from time to time, eggs
planted one inch below the surface pro
duced S" per cent of locusts; two inches bc
iow, 43 per cent: three inches. 11 per cent;
four inches, 1 per cent; five and six inches,
none.
Every precaution was taken to plant the
eggs as the mother locust would have had
them fixed. The experiments clearly dem
onstrate the efficacy of plowing suspested
ground.

IS GOSS TO LOSE HIS STAR?
ALL SORTS OF EEPORTS ARE
IN CIRCULATION
Friends of - Cnptl IMilUp Pottgrheier
Say He Will Ui< the Chief of Po
lice Before Many Weeks M. L<.
Mclntire's Aspiratlond Are Still
in That Direction A Friend of
W. H. Johnson Sprloes an Idea.
All sorts of reports are In circulation
as to the proposed changes to be made
by Mayor Kiefer In tne police depart
ment. Delegations by the score have
waited on the chief executive to urge
the appointment of certain men 'to
various positions from chief down to
poundmaster. Mayor Kiefer, however,
If he intends making any changes, |
either in the officers or ranks of the
department, keeps his own council and
has no mouthpiece to say what he will
or will not do.
The friends of Capt. Philip Pottgieser,
now in charge of the Margaret street
station, are confident that he will be
made chief when the time comes to
make the change.
M. L. Mclntire and the members of
the Garfleld club of the West side, are
outspoken in the statement that the
present night watchman at the court
house and city hall will be given charge
of the police department by Mayor Kie
fer. They say that as Goss went in
without any experience that any other
man can do the same thing.
"It's a sure thing," said one of the
adnvrers of Mclntire last tvening. "that
there will be a change in the police de
partment: and another thing is certain,
that Goss will hive to go. The two
Republican mayors have been thrown
down by the police department and
Mayor Kiefer is too smart a politician
not to be alive to the occasion snd in
sist that the department be overhauled.
It may be that Mclntire may not l>e
the choice for chief, but Goss will not
stay In any event. Facts and figures
have been presented to the -mayor
which he cannot. -afford to pass over
lightly."
Otherwise, politicians claim that there
will be no change 5n the police depart
ment until after the.- fall election. This
action, it is paid, will make the party
strong for tho November battle of the
ballots, while if there "was a shake-up
now the chajices would be in favor or
a German-American -securing the ap
pointment as chisf, an~4 this would in
jure the Republican county ticket this
fall.
A friend of Mayor Kiefer in discus
j sing the matter last ; evening, said that
in his opinion there would be no change
in the head of the police department.
"You see," said the politician, "there
are a number o?. candidates for the
place, and if KLfeT should appoint any
one of the persons who have figured
it out that they would be just the man
for the place all the others and their
friends would have it In for him. As
it is now he can by making no change
keep all hands in line and save him
self from making a host of enemies."
The judges of the municipal court
heve not as yet announced that they
have agreed to the appointment of W.
K. Johnson as clerk of the court. One'
pf thf members of the coun^iV -stated '
last evening, however, that the thing
was as good as settled, and that- tho
judges would make a pu>bHe 'announce
ment of the chihg'e-eariy tr> the coming
i Meek.' '• ■ '■ •' -.' if ■■■"■ •<■<?■ •- ■
An intimate fraenS rttf'arice'Asscmbl'y
i man Johnson had a new scheme yester
day to make the appointment certain,
end ho felt satisfied that it would ;prove
the correct solution of the case.'
"I've been t-ild." safd the Johrisonite,
"that Judge On- favors the retention of
Conroy on account of certain business
transactions. Now, if there is any
thing to the statement and Judge Orr
thinks the only chance he has to come
out even is to keep Cjnroy until certain
notes are paid. I have a plan which
would work like a charm.
"Let Johnson make a dicker with
Judge Orr to stand the amount in ques
tion, or, better still, let him give Orr
a note with the understanding that
If Conroy is unable to meet his obliga
tion, Johnson will. You see, the salary
of the clerk ie $2.5C0 per year and the
job holds fojL four years, so that John
son could afford to take a chan-ce on,
say $500, that he minht have to pay
for the sake of $2,500 a year for four
years."
ON AN OLD WARRANT.
Martin Joyce Arrested on a Charge
of Assault.
Martin Joyce, living with his brother,
John Joyce, on Fairfield avenue, near
State, was arrested last evening, on
a warrant issued last September,
charging him with assault and bat
tery.
It is alleged that Joyce attacked Mar
tin Connelly, badly beating the latter
and knocking out six ct his teeth. Joyce
lted to Montana after the alleged at
tack, and only returned yesterday.
In making the arrest Officer Grlf§n
was compelled to draw his revolver on
John Joyce, who, the policeman said,
threatened to brain him with a rock if
he did not release his brother. Officer
Griffin commanded two citizens stand
ing by to arrest John Joyce, but they
refused to do so.
SHEAKEN'S HIDING PLACE.
It Was Kot at the Home of Paul
Mayette.
Paul Mayette, an early settler of New
"Canada, called at the central police
station yesterday to correct am imprf s
cion which he thought might have in
directly implicated him in harboring
James" Shearen, the alleged safe bur
giar, who escaped from the central s a
tion a week asro, and who was recap
tured at New Canada Thursday.
It was stated that Shearen had been
| In hiding at Mr. Mayette's home, when,
i as a matter of fact, it was at 'the home
|of Mayet'te J s son. The place is known
; as the "Mayete House," but the elder
j Mayette has not lived there for nearly
three years, having his present home
■j several miles distant from his son's
i abode, on 'the county road.

LIST OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Few If Any Chances to Be Made
Next Year.
An effort will be made Mon-day by
the school board to wind up the af
fairs of the board for this month, if
possible. At 2 p. m. a meeting of the
text book committee will be held, fol
lowed, by a meeting of the committee
on schools. It Is understood that Supt.
Smith will be ready by that time to
submit his list of teachers for the com
ing year, and also make recommenda
tions as to. the text books.
It has been stated that the list of
teachers for the ensuing year to be
submitted by Supt. Smith will con
tain only ope change, and that a high
school teacher. Otherwise the list will
probably be passed upon just the same
as last year.

THE SACRED FIRE.
A Legend of the Worship of Natchez
Indians.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
In the belief of the Natchez Indians— the
extinguishing, from whatever cause, of the
"sacred" or "eternal" fire, which had been
maintained from time immemorial In thMr
temple, would be followed by a great mor
tality among the "Suns" or royal fami-y of
the nation, who had been their hereditary
chiefs, as they declared, since the remote
and legendary period when a mysterious,
shining personage, who gave his name to
their ancestors "The," meaning "Thou,"
had descended from space, or from the sun,
and, after founding the royal family of
"Suns" of which he himself was the first,
had comamnded /them to keep ever burning
in a temple called the Temple of the Sun, a
tire which be forever kept burning from the
original fire in the meznbory of him. Xhere
was no custom of the Natchez that was more
religiously attended to than this of main
taining the "eternal fire" unimpaired, as
"The" bad given It to thair ancestors, as

• -OF THE GREAT CURATIVE POWERS
Remember that the wonderful success of this imtitu+e lies in
the fact that its treatment combines the two greatest factors
known to the medical profession--electricitv and" inedicino. and
( it is an admitted fact that by means of the 'combination of these
two great curative powers, more so-called incurable chronic cases
Jhave been entirely and permanently cured than by all other
known methods combined.

Yet you are still hoping and trusting that In some way by some means you ar»
going to regain ycur old-time vigor and. become a man again And why not?
THERE IS NO SOGH WORD AS FAIL,
An Incurable case is something that a skillful physician does not come across v
dozen times in a life time. You can be cared, but you must have realized long
before this that never l»y medicine or electricity alone can this be done
Medicine must have an assistant and a powerful one that will not only go to the

Every woman knows what a power for healing electricity Is in female troubles; but
when it is applied by the master e:eotricians of this institute, and combined wlih the re
