Reports from a few sections in
the country are that grasshoppers
are iujuring the crops to some ex-
tentt but as yet the damage done
by the insect is not serious. They
appear to have been hatcbed wher
ever found, and infest oat, wheat
and alfalfa fields. Serious damage,
it is said, is never done to crops on
the hatching ground of the hop
pers. The great injury is done
after the insect is full grown and
flies away to other localities. Lex

THE EAINFALL OF NEBRASKA.
An extremely interesting bulletin
from the University of Nebraska
experiment station has just been j
issued, from which we make a few
extracts.
The bulletin is known as No. 45,
and may be had for the asking, by
addressing1 the director of the sta
tion at Lincoln.
The total amount of precipitation
from a.tjout .thirteen inches at the
extreme southwestern corner of the
state to about thirty-four inches at
the extreme southeastern. The
average for the state is 23.33 inches.
Although the total yearly rainfall
of the state, and especially of the
western parts of the state, is rather
small, a very large portion of it
falls during the month ot the grow
ing- season.
Thus of the 23.33 inches of annual
rainfall in Nebraska, 16.08 inches,
or 69 per cent of the entire amount,
falls during the five months of the
growing season, April to August
inclusive. That we may see how
we compare in this respect with
other states, the following table.
compiled from the record of weather
bureau stations, shows what per
cent of the total yearly rainfall
occurs in these same five months in
other localities:
STATIONS. PER CENT.

Omaha, Neb . . . 67
Huron, S. D ".V 74
St. Paul, Minn........ 61
Duluth, Minn 57
Davenport, la i 55
Keokuk, la . 54
It thus appears that the states of j
Nebraska, Kansas, Dakota, and
Wyoming, with their none too i
plenteous supply of yearly rainfall,
have, on the other hand, the ad-
intage over the states lying "far
ther, to the east, -that a large per
centage of this rainfall occurs in
the growing- season when it is most
useful, and that as we go eastward
the percentage gradual faHsoffj,
paTFiaifarlTtowlirSs the southeast.
or in other words in the direction
towards which the actual amount
of rainfall increases most decidedly:
so that if we compare the rainfall
of the growing season alone m
different localities, Nebraska does
not appear in so unfavorable a
light as her small yearly rainfall
would indicate.
At the western end of the state
the largest monthly rainfall occurs
in May; farther east the rainfall of
May, June, and July are not greatly
different; while at the extreme
eastern end of the state the period
of greatest rainfall is delaved until
June.
TEE CONTEST FOB GOVERNOR,
The republ ican state convention
meets in Lincoln at ten o'clock to
morrow to nominate a state ticket.
Speaking of the contest for gover
nor, last evening's Omaha Bee
says: ue gubernatorial candi
dates include Meiklejohn, MacColl,
Hayward, Moore, Adams, Filley
and Richards. The first four
named are the leaders in the race,
while there seems to be little chance
tor the success of any one of the
others. Neither of the leaders has
a majority. Each one, of course,
has a private estimate of his own
strength, but these estimates are
largely made up of delegates they
hope to get, rather than of dele
gates they know they have. But
few estimates are shown to the gen
eral public. One prominent repub
lican here, who is working for the
success of no particular candidate,
and who has been in every conven
tion since Nebraska became a state
gave to the Bee to-day a few figures
on the governorship which he made
after a very careful study of the
situation. His estimate places the
relative strength of the candidates
in the following order: Meiklejohn,
315;- McColl, 310; Hayward, 135;
Moore, 110; Adams, 85; Filley, 50;
Richards. 25; Majors, 25;Broatcb,2.
These figures were made up after
a close scrutiny of the list ot dele
gates already reported, together
with an estimate of the manner in
which the votes controlled by the
numerous candidates for places on
the ticket would be divided between
the aspirants for the governorship.
As it will require 529 votes to nom
inate, it will be seen that each of
the leaders is still short many votes
of the needed number.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
MRS. M. S. WARREN SERVES ON A
- JURY IN COLORADO.
Women and Literary Careers A Word
For Saleswomen Working Wesaea oi
Iondon Accomplished Lady Tennyson
The Story of 21 me. Rnppert.
Colorado has experienced the novelty
of having a woman serve on a jury, and
a jury which stayed out all night at
that. Mrs. 1L S. Warren, who has a
large millinery establishment in Denver,
and who never uses her full given name,
was accidentally drawn on a venire, her
registration as a voter giving no clue to
her personality. When she confronted
the judge he was astonished and imme
diately dismissed her. It was at this
point that the second surprise came.
As a legal voter and a real citizen Mrs.
Warren refused to be so easily sent
home. She insisted upon service with
the other peers of the man who was a
defendant iu a civil suit Gaining a lit
tle time tho court delayed decision until
next day when a learned opinion was
handed down. Tho opinion was to tho
effect that jury duty was not imposed
upon tho gentler sex when the ballot
was bestowed.
It happened at last that 2L S. Warren
was duly accepted and sworn. The case
did not amount to much, but while it
was being heard all the lawyers took a
keen interest in it. At 5 o'clock p. m.
the case went to the jury. It was sup
posed that a verdict would be reached
before dinner timer but an hour later
there was a reqnest for something to
eat. Then it dawned upon the court at
taches that the jury might bo out all
night.
After dinner, when the evening shad
ows fell, it became the bailiff's duty to
lock up his charges. Mrs. Warren, who
had been gallantly chosen by her 11 as
sociates as forewoman, was given a lit
tle room off that ocenpied by the others.
It is related that so lightly did her. duty
to the public weigh upon her spirits
that she was soon heard snoring with
-j
MRS. M. S. WARREN.
such a lustiness that it was difficult for
the 11 to hear one another talk about
the warm weather and the latest slump
in mining stocks.
Early tho next morning the jury
raised a chorus that demanded breakfast
in a firsfc class restaurant The bailiff
marched the 12 out upon the streets,
and aside from some slight timidity
about insisting on the honor of walking
with tho forewoman, the men acted as
if it was nothing unusual in the jury
line for equal suffrage possibilities to be
come real, hard facts. It was after
breakfast that thero was a moment of
embarrassment, for the 12 had to stand
in a row on the sidewalk while the
meal was being paid for and the crowd
was mistaken for a lot of personally
conducted tourists in the act of having
their pictures taken.
"When the judge looked at the jury
box a little later, his voice bdtrayed
some trepidation as ho asked, "Is tho
jury ready to report?"
"We are," declared Forewoman
Warren in a tone that didn't hint at
any indecision.
"Have you agreed upon a verdict?"
the court inquired.
"We havo been unable to agree,"
said the forewoman.
"Havo you differed on a question of
law or a question of fact?" asked Judge
Palmer.
There was a moment of hesitation
while Mrs. Warren consulted one of her
companions.
"They all understand the law pretty
well," answered the forewoman, glanc
ing down the line beside her.
The lawyers who were gathered as
spectators laughed and then the woman
juror added: "We are all mixed up over
the evidence. We would not agree in a
month."
"The jury is discharged from further
consideration of this case," announced
tho judge, wiping his forehead and
crossing his legs. It was evident that a
great weight was lifted off the judicial
mind.
Mrs. Warren shook hands with one
or two of her associates and then, draw
ing on a pair of suede gloves, she left
the courtroom.
"Why, it was not a bit hard," she
declared as she stood in tho hallway.
"The men were just perfectly lovely to
me. Did they disagree on purpose?
What a horrid suggestion! Of course
not. Did they stay out all night just to
make me wish I had never tried to be a
juror? That is absurd. I had a very
pleasant experience, taking it altogeth

promises to worry the life out of the
ice monopolists. The invention
consists. of an. ice-boxreontaining a
cylinder filled with water. This
cylinder is surrounded by a chemi
cal substance, which is worked upon
revolving fans propelled by muscu
lar exertion. The inventor claims
that the cost of making ice with the

saying: "Your boy wont live a month."
He tried Dr. Kings New Discovery and
a few bottles restored him to health and

his wife good-bye, but did not leave
her. Two policemen saw Beban
kiss his wife and arrested both of
them for disorderly conduct. They
were locked up at the police station
for five hours because two policemen
regarded kissing in public as dis

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to . cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafnlss is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it "is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
