Tin- S-i-nlefii-yr Locusts. The cicada, or commonly known as the seventeen-year lccusts, which have been hatching out in such large num bers in this vicinity in the last week, have a peculiar existence, says the Union Ledger. According to the best known authorities these locusts that are hatching out now next month Ily t a treo and sticking their little sting er into a limb deposit their eggs. which hatch out in a short time, fall to the ground and burrow therein until they strike a root of some tree or shrub to which they attach themselves. There they remain, subsisting on the life of the root for seventeen years.when they work their way up to the surface of the earth, mount a tree, shrub, or a blade of grass, where they shed their shell, a g!den, gelatine-like covering, and blossom forth a full-fledged locust. They live but one season and each female is capable of producing hun dreds of eggs. In the timber in this vicinity are thousands of the shells of these locusts which have batched out and gone. They are thicker this year than over before known and there is no means of riddiDg the earth of these pests. "hot an Kagle. Out in front of the Vallery home stead the other day a large bird was discovered sitting in the top branches of one of the tall cottonwoods in front of the house. Jesse Urown brought it down with a shot from his gun, and C. F. V -tilery captured it. It proved to be a large eagle, and measured more than six feet from tip to tip of its wings It was only slightly crippled, and at present is confined in the Vallery granary. It is very savage and attacks everybody who enters the building. Pete Vallery says that he is goir.g to bring the bird to town Saturday, and everybody will have an opportunity to see it. Americ Win Agnla. Kid Lavigne is now light weight champion of the world. In London, Monday night.he whipped Dick llurge, champion of England, in sixteen rounds. He had way the best of it all the way, and was scarcely marked, while bis opponent was severly beaten up. The odds were three to one against the American, at the begin ning of the light, but before the third round was over these same betters were trying to hedge by offering two to one on the "kid."

The apple crop will not be oue-Utth as large this year as has been antici pated, for already many of the apples have fallen off the trees and on some of the older tree is not to be found a single apple. The cherry and peach trees are heavily loaded with fruit and in some instances so great is the load that they are breaking down. Ne braska City News. Last Saturday evening a peculiar ac cident occurred to the section gang which works on the railroad in this vicinity. The crew was returning home io the evening from a point this side of the Junction and because of the lateness of the hour had worked up great speed with their hand car. A hard shelled turtle crawled up on the track just thin side of Mills Station and (lagged the car, but he was too late and the car struck him and was derailed. All the men were more or less bruised and Oliver Edwards was so unfortunate as to break his leg at the ankle. The patient is resting well at this time and will doubtless have a favorable recovery. Glenwood Opin ion. Smile occasionally. It doesn't cost anything. Say good morning as if you meant it when you meet a neighbor, and be sure you say good morning to the stranger in a manner that be will reciprocate and desire to make your acquaintance. It will cost you noth ing. Just try it once and see how it works.

Thank God for the splendid spirit of brotherly love among the Christian people of Papillion. We had a union G. A. It. memorial service at the opera house last Sunday. Prayer was offered by a Methodist, the ser mon was from the lips of a Roman Catholic, and the voices of Methodist, Roman Catholic and Episcopal com municants blended in the service of Houg. It was a pleasing spectacle, in spiring and ennobling, making every man who had hitherto sheltered the demon of religious prejudice within his bosom resolve to cast it out, and in future live closer to his brother man. while yet retaining all bis love for his own peculiar creed. Papillion Times. Gen. John M. Thayer was converted to Christianity during the services at St. Paul M. E. church last evening, and advanced to the rail midst much applause from the soldiers present.

The Nebraska City Newssays: "The latest feminine fad is said to be the in jection of perfume beneath the skin with a hypodermic syringe. When a woman is loaded she lasts for several days. She may use several perfumes. For instance she may load her right arm with patchouly, and left with at tar of roses. The young man who tries it says that the effect of kissing on both cheeks a girl who is differently perfumed on each side is practically the same as two girls, but the writer does not know about this, and does not see bow anyone but bold, bad men can Gnd out. If anybody can suggest a plan, all right. The latest feminine fad does seem so bad." .no less loan a dozen court cases sprang from a blush that purpled the cheek of a male gossip monger of Flat bush, a solemn and stdate suburb of Brooklyn.

Shocked, be looked again to make assurance doubly sure. The sight set his tongue in action, started a tamily row, three fights and much hair-pulling.

The last meeting of the Woman's club was held at the home of Mrs. Elsou for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year. Mrs. Klson had spared no pains in making her rooms pleasant, as flowers and trailing vines in every available space delighted the eye and brought to mind the thought that the summer time with its Bweet Bcented flowers is with us. The reading of minutes of two previous meetings and a report from the treasurer, Mrs. Davis, were fol lowed by the election of oflicers. The new officers are Mrs. Unruh, President; Mrs. Butler, Vice Presi dent; Mrs. McLennan, Recording Secretary; Miss Ilempel, Correspond ing Secretary , and Miss Atlams Treas urer. Each member of the club were very much affected when our retiring presi dent and organizer of the club made her closing address w hich was listened to with close attention, and which we reproduce in full. Mrs. Stouten boiough has not ouly been a leader in our club, but has also been a co-worker, helping the weaker ones over the rough places and making the strong feel stronger under her influence. This, coupled with many pleasing traits of character, has made her be loved by all, and had it not been for the clause in our constitution prohibit ing a member holding office for more than two consecutive years, bhe would have been unanimously re-elected. Mrs. Unruh, in a short address, couched in most beautiful language, then presented Mrs. .Stoutenborough with a beautiful secretary as a gift of the club, showing in some measure the appreciation in which she is held. The meeting then adjourned amid much hand shaking and cordial good feeling. The following is the address as Mrs. Stoutenborough presented it to the club: 'Madam president and members of the Woman's club: This gavel, as many of you know, was presented to the club by Mrs. Chapman and in the presentation speech she told us that it was made from the first bedstead that was brought across the Missouri river to Plattsmouth. "It is a typical pioneer, and as you have thought best during the past two years to emigrate with me into new and untried domains, I fancy that both the gavel aud myself will go on record as pioneers, and tonight I take the place as the little German children say, as "Gros Mudder" of your club. "The modern improvements which are sure to follow under a new ad ministration. I shall enjoy with you since we are all to sit at the same Gre side. I can but think, madam presi dent, that this club is stand ing on the threshold of great opportunities and that there are A social and business meeting of the Epworth League was held with Miss Lizzie Wentler Friday evening, at the residence of Judge Ramsey. After the business of the meeting amuse ments were indulged in. The rooms were nicely decorated with roses. Ice cream and cake composed the refresh ments. Some seventy guests partici pated. Misses Jessie Foxwell, Bertie Smith and Ethel Dutton assisted Miss Wentler in the reception of the guests. Miss Wentler left for a visit at Chi cago and Wisconsin on Sunday evenr ing. A (iood Suggestion. There seems to be one important of fice that was forgotten when the G. A. R. posts were organized, viz., a histor ian. It seems as though it ought to be the duty of each post to keep at least a war record of their members together with a biographical sketch of their lives. The necessity of such a record is becoming more and more apparent at each succeeding Decoration Day. A roll call of the dead with a short history of each as the graves are being strewn with flowers is in interesting part of a Decoration Day program. It revives the memories in the minds of the survi vors and is interesting history for the sons, daughters and grandchildren. The post would suggest that a histor ian be elected in every G. A. R. post and elect a man who will see that the army record of every member of the post is obtained and preserved. The time is not far distant when this record will be of considerable value.

Mr. Britt and family have been visiting friends at Plattsmouth for several days and the house has been unoccupied except by a young man named Robinson, who sleeps there nights. Saturday night he re turned" home about 9 o'clock and found the rooms in the greatest disorder. All the contents of all the bureau drawers had been emptied on the floor and the clothingin the closets had been torn from the hooks. A quantity of silver ware which had been left on a side board was missing and also a number of other articles. A neighbor next door said that he had seen a light in a back loom about 7 o'clock, but had seen no one enter or leave the house. The extent of the loss will not be known until the return of Mr. Britt. Burglars made a descent upon Mr. Britt's house last fall while he was away Sroin home and secured a bicycle which had been left in an outer room and several suits of clothing.
