THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.
(Extracts from the columns of the
Herald of this time thirty-five years
ago in 1S75, when the country was be
ing swept by the great pest of the
"hoppercusscs.")
On Sunday afternoon the flying
grasshoppers made their appearance
here in small numbers, but did little
serious damage. Monday morning
however, they were Hying noith
west in vast clouds. In the afternoon
they began to drop, and Monday even
ing gardens and lots were full of them.
The town presented a funny appear
ance, smudges were built all over in
hopes of saving vegetables and small
grin.
By ten o'clock Tuesday this swarm
rose and disappeared, and a great
load seemed lifted off our people.
However, Wednesday morning they
again appeared and all day the flight
was kept up and was probably the most
extensive the country has yet witness
ed. In the evening they began to
drop. Wheat fields were covered with
them, a fair average count would give
six to ever stalk and the ground was
a brown, moving, wiggling mass.
By listening you could HEAR them
cat they imparted a reddish brown
tinge to the wheat as they roosted on
the stalks, making it look at "a dis
tance like red-top in the fall. The corn
was badly nipped in spots, but did not
seem to be so much of a favorite as
the wheat.
June 16 was one of the days of the
great flight, their path covering a dis
tance of some 400 miles, and probably
a much greater width.
Business men are as great sufferers
as the farmer; they must, however,
be lenient to creditors and helpful
to each other. Everbody must try
and pay ull they can, live as cheaply
as they can and quit grumbling.
Nevertheless, wc still Buy there .is
no better country than Nebraska.
In Minnesota they are paying bounties
for grasshoppers; half of Iowa and a
.large part of Missouri is devastated;
Kansas is infinitely worse ofT; a drouth
prevails in many of the eastern states
and it is hard times all over."
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Hev. Mr. Jordan, the colored amend
mcnt orator, sent out by the non'
partisan league of Nebraska to discuss
the constitutional amendment to be
voted on at the coming November elec
tion, held three meetings in this city
Sunday afternoon, Monday and Tues
day night. The closing meeting was
held with a vast assembly in and
around the tenl for the tent was en
tirely too small to contain them a)
many coming in from the country and
sitting in wagons and buggies within
hearing distance of the tent. One
noticable feature of these meetings was
that a great many country people came
in to hear the "Texas Cyclone," as
he was called, and they evinced a
great deal of interest in the discussion
of the question. It is the general
impression that the Jordan meetings
were a success and productive of much
good.
The coming amendment which is
to be voted on reads: The manufac
ture, sale and keeping for slae of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage arc
forever prohibited in this state and the
legistalure shall provide by law for
the enforcement of this provision.
The committees are consummating
arrangements for a grand Fourth of
July celebration in this city. A good
program of exercises has been arranged
and the celebration will be in every wuy
a grand success.
The highest temperature recorded
during the months of June was 101,
the lowest 08, rainfall 5 7-8 inches.
Last half of month good corn weather.

TEN YEARS AGO
Nelson Renncr, a lad about ten
years of age, who lives south of the
Burlington shops, met with quite a
bad accident out on Lincoln avenue
shortly before (i o'clock June L",t.
Wishing to have n ride, young Henner
jumped on t lie rear of a buggy that was
passing, driven by Mrs. Vondran,
but in some manner he lost his hold
fell- to the ground and before he
could get out of the way, was run over
by a horse and buggy driven by Mrs.
Campbell which was following closely
in the rear. When picked up it was
found that he was unconscious and his
face was badly bruised by eominc in
contact with the wheels and horse's
hoofs. He remained unconscious un
til 7 o'clock the next morning. No
bones were broken.
The "Chinook Croquet" club gath
ered at its headquarters at Park Place
upon the lawns of Messrs. Burton and
lwitehell last evening, June 2) to
test the feasibility of a progressive
croquet game upon the three repsective
grounds. Mrs. C. S. Johnson was
presented with a bouquet of sweet
peas as winner of the king prize, while
Mrs. 1 . A. Murphy was crowned with
a bunch of "sour grapes" as befitting
the frame of mind which she acknow
ledged herself the winner of the booby.
Coffee and sandwiches were served bv
Mrs. Barton.
The library building committee,
consisting of F. J. Morgan. J. L. Root
and D. O. Dwycr, is busy these days
preparing for the construction of the
new library building. To put up the
building it will require $1,S00 in
cash in addition to the material which
has been donated. It will be a sub
stantial brick building 50x52, up to
date and modem in every particular.
Very beautiful was the wedding of
Miss Edith Patterson and Charles

umphant strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march as the bridal party
walked slowly down the aisle. The
usher in chief was Ruy Patterson.

(iolden Text. The Kingdom of
God is not meat and drink; but right
eousness and peace, and joy in the
Holy (Ihost. Rom. xiv:17.
Verses 31," 32. In how many par
ticulars was the Christian church small
in its beginning?
How many arc there in the world
today who profess to be Christians?
How many nominally Christian
nations are there today?
What, is tfie, extent of the influence
ofChristianity today upon morality
education, science, philanthropy, com
merce, etc.
In what respects does the gospel
inlluence each individual convert, the
s.une as it has influenced the world?
Verse 43. What is the influence of
leaven upon bread?
What is the inlluence of the grace
of iod, upon a human being who re
ceives it?
What are the conditions to be ob
served for puttii g leaven into bread
and what are the conditions to be ob
served for putt ing t he grace of (iod into
a human heart?
This woman put the leaven into
"three measures of meal." Can the
grace of (iod be received at all, if it
is not taken into body, soul and sprit?
Why or why not?
Will the day ever conn; when the
"whole "of humanity will be "leaven
ed'' with the gospel? If so, when and
how?-
Verse 4 1. What is the real treasure
of t he kingdoniof heaven on earth?
What is the field in which lies
buried thisgreat treasure?
How do men find this hidden treas-
A Continual Chorus of Praise.
It is doubtful if any Bible study
plan ever received such enthusiastic
endorsation by the leading men of the
nations as the "Suggestive Questions
on the Sunday School lessons" now
running in the News-Herald. Uni
versity presidents, leading Sunday
f'hool men, pa.-tors of large city
churches, as well as the smaller places,
and the rank and file of the churches
praise these questions to the skies
It is bard to make a select ion from
so many hundreds of testimonials,
hut here are a few, with a word or two
culled from each
lire?
Why did Jesus lead us to infer that
we must sell all we have, in order to
possess the field in which this rare
treasure is found?
Verses 45, 40 What does the av
erage man seek after more than any
thing else?
What is it, when found, which gives
more joy than all else combined?
When a man finds "tho pearl of
great price" how much is it worth to
him?
What is the one great consideration
which absorbs all others?
Verses 47, 4S In what respect
is preaching the gospel like fishing with
a drag net?
Who are they whose duty it is to
throw out, and pull in, the gospel net?
When, according to this parable,
are the good and bad fish sorted?
Verses 10, 50 What are the an
gels of Cud who at the end of the
world, will divide the wicked from
the good?
How much value will be given a
man, in that day, for his belief, in
estimating this character?
What will be the standard for es
tlmtlng good and bad men. at the
end of the world? (This question
must be answered In writing by
members of the club.)
Are we to take Jesus', words liter
ally, about the furnace of fire into
which the wicked will be east, or in
what sense must they be taken?
Verses 51, 52. Is Jesus a teacher
who can be understood by any man
with his ordinary natural faculties?
Why?
