The stiitc has tleclarca war on the Nebraska grasshopper. 1aio. J. Stuhr, secretary of the department of agri culture, returned to Lincoln from a trip to Morrill and ScoMsbluff counties where he laid out pest eradication dis tricts authorized by the Inst legislature. The plan for killing the grasshoppers, which have made Kansas and Ne lirnskn Infnuious from an agricultural standpoint for many years, Is to spread poison around every Held of alfalfa In the district. The poison will bo dis tributed a width of eight feet, which, It. Is believed Is a greater distance than the "hopplngest grasshopper" In Ne braska can hop. 'The fanners north and cist of Bnr adn, an Inland town about twelve miles from Fnlls City, desire a more feasible way of getting their grain and stoe': to market than the long haul to Shu bert or Falls City and are considering a plan of establishing n sor of ferry ncross the Missouri where they will hnvo close connections with a couple .if Missouri towns. The expense of such an undertaking Is being Investi gated. A report circulated throughout Je- hraska by the daily, and weekly papers that the dlfllcultles between the Union Telephone Company and Us patrons at Bioomfleld hns been settled and ser vices again resumed Is denied by of ficials of the company and others In close touch with the situation. At n mass meeting held August 4, patrons of the company voted to stick and present prospects for calling off the 'strike" appear unlikely. A $25,000 bond levy has been voted for the rlprapplng of the Missouri river at the Peterson bend district, east of Tekamah, where hundreds of acres of valuable land has slldden Into the river since the lirst of the year.

This represents an Increase of $2,575,500, or approximately 37 per cent. Arcadia patrons, mostly rural, have requested that the telephone rates be lowered and have backed the request up with an ngreement between 150 of the patrons to have their 'phones dls connected providing the decrease Is not granted.

SCREENED FROM VULGAR EYES Only a Short Time Ago the Japanese Emperor and His Heir Lived Lives Apart. There must be many Japanese still living who can remember when their countrymen would have regarded with horror the manner In which tho crown prince allows himself to bo gazed up on by foreign crowds. So late as 1807 no Japanese was allowed to look upon the emperor, who lived a life apart In tho seduslon of his palace. All that was seen of him by those who waited on his commands wns his bnck. When the rule wus lirst modified to tho extent of his leaving the palace, all shutters had to be put up, all blinds drawn, and even the crevices covered wjth paper, and no one was permitted In the streets. Vast changes have, taken place since then, hut even today It Is not consid ered quite proper and respectful by the masses of the people to look at the emperor or his heir when they drive through the streets. Telephones. Up until 1800 telephones were more or less of an experiment. The demand was small, particularly from resi dences.

Eve was made before mirrors and her daughters hnvo kept in front of them ever since. I I II si ill "SMMSMliU Mi i 8 tintheStomanndrfj Mineral.
