Will Locusts Herald War Tf.j» Is Tin-t for 17-Year-Oid Variety and if -W" Is on Wings It Means Struggle. I stun —This is the year that the IT year taraat is due again, and in a '» »*-eks be wilt make his appear «* th-- 'arms uf the middle west \t P ast the authorities on locust lore !»»d >u|e-rs!i'Jon are sure he wit! and they hai never b*-en mistaken in the ■ -t No one seems to kt.ow- exactly wi.ire ttie IT year locust comes from, hut it is a matter of record that he d •••5 show up regularly just the same Its- thing that is interesting the farmer* and the old timers most is w! ether !«• will bring a *"W” on his w ings or a “P." as is hoped. ~W~ on a IT year locust's wings means war There is no reason under the sun that is known as to why it should be al ways either "W or ~P.~ but those are in lot- grange every office Is open to women, and in ail the work of the order women have equal voice with m*n. bat few women become masters. Just as Mrs Sarah llaird has for sev eral years served most efficient 1. as head of the state grange of Mianeso ta. hi Miss Hildreth, as bead of the llw iirande grange, has evened a most benefeesnt Mtueoce While not a farmer nor of farmers' folk. Miss Hildreth resides in a com munity largely composed I well-to-do farmers In working for others, she ha> added materially to her own hap piness. The grange is known as a farmers’ organ nut'ion. but It concerns his Im provement rather than his occupa tion The aim in it is to better his sor.al condition by breaking up the isolation of country life and living It seeks to bring country people together and to know each other socially: to ef -rcotne distrust and foster coopera tion. the only two letters that have been ] noticed. Locust lore experts have a good , deal of statistical backing when they assert that if the "W" is on the wings it will surely mean war, and if the ”P“ is on the wings it will just as surely mean peace. “In 1 V.O, the last time the locusts I were here,” said an old commercial traveler the other day. “the wings !*ore a decided AW And we promptly got into the war with Spain In 1876 1 saw the 'P' on the wings myself, and following that we had peace and | plenty “I don't remember so far back as IS'.:*, ti’.at is to say. I don’t remember j locusts back in those days, but I have ! been told by scores of old farmers that the 17 year locust kind showed up I that year and bore AV on each wing. | The civil war followed. “Some of the older generation of i farmers have records in the old family Bible to prove that the former visita tion of 17-year locusts presaged the Mexican war by bearing AV on their wings I can tell you the farmers are j not anxious to have them come, but they are ail superstitious as to their verity as harbingers. “When you come to think of it. this l letter business seems like a very fool j ish superstition. But w hen you know ' that they do bear either the AV or the P' and that the sign has never tailed, how are you going to explain it?" -— "Conscience Fund" Gains $425.

FATHER WENT TO CHURCH. ILLINOIS "WETS" WIN FI6HT SALOON MAKE GAINS ALL OVER THE STATE. Liquor Interests Victorious In 146 Towns and Cities—Regain 37 From “Dry*.' Chicago.—The local option vote In Illinois cities and town showed a ten dency in favor of the “wets," when «t is compared with the simitar contests of two years ago Almost everywhere the "wets" held onto the cities where saloons have Sourished. and in only a few in stances were their votes cut down, in addition, they won a considerable number of cities bach from the "drys," who had driven out the saicons In the elections of two years ago in a large number of cities the wet majorities showed considerable increase. The "drys" gained a few cities from the "wets," but none of these were of importance. Returns from 163 towns showed that 99 had voted in favor of saioons and 64 against them. Of the 99 credited to the "wets" 37 had been voted "dry" two years ago. Out ot 64 which voted "dry,” only 14 represented places which had been taken out of the "wet" column. The biggest "wet" victories were represented by the return of the saloons to Decatur, Rockford and Mat toon, whose capture by the “drys" two years ago had been considered a remarkable triumph for the Prohibi tionists. in addition to these, the "wets" recaptured, among others. Ba la via, Belvtdere, Clinton. Fairbury. .Naperville and Pana. The “wets” also succeeded in hold ing onto Aurora. Bloomington. Dan ville, Centralia, Elgin, Freeport. Joliet, Waukegan, Moline. Spriugtield and Sterling. The anti-saloon forces end?d the Jav with no notable victories, although tne tact that they held their own in the city of Galesburg, which they kept in the "dry" column, and the tact that they won over several minor places, gave them some cause for rejoicing The most notable fight of the day was that made in Danville, where tor a time it seemed as though Governor Deneen might have to use the militia to end rioting The disturbances were put down, however, without such ex tremes. But when the votes were counted it was found that Danville uaa ueec neiu in tne column t»v a majority of 1,01$. This, however, was a decided decrease from the 2.500 majority of two years ago. and the “drys'' claimed that their work had not been entirely in vain. In Chicago aldermanic election the Democrats won a victory electing 21 members to the common council. The Republicans elected 13 and the Inde pendents one. A Republican majority of 11 in the present council was changed to a minority of six. ANDREW CARNEGIE IS FEEBLE New York Friends Are Much Per turbed Over Physical Conditicn of Ironmaster.
