Aevtnteen-Year Pest, Which Caused
Great Loaa on Last Visitation, la

In New York and Kansas.
New York.—The seventeen-year
locusts, which are due to return to
plague the American farmer this sum-
mer, after being absent since 1S9I.

vicinity of New York c(ty.

Zoological society bas discovered the
Aral gruba, several tbousaud In num-
ber, In an excavation near Nyack. N.
Y. lly the time the frost la out of the
ground these thousands will be mil-
lions, he says.
During the last previous visitations
the locusts literally covered suburban
New York, stripping trees, bushes,
hedges, lawns and truck farms of
everything green and then, moving in
vast clouds, which obscured the sun,
to fresh fields.
Chinatown will welcome the visita-
tion. The Chinese cook makes them

salad and dresses them In many mys-
terious waya, and even New Yorkers
have found some of these dishes
palatable.
The seventeen year locust will also
visit Kansas within the next two or
three months, according to a predic-
tion of Prof. P. A. Glenn of the de-
partment of entomology at the Unl

TOWNS VANISH FROM THE MAP
Mors TJian 6C0 in the State of Nfr
braska Have Disappeared in
Twenty Years.
Omaha, Neb.—More than COO towns
aave disappeared from the map ol
Nebraska within the past 20 years
The majority of these were founded in
the great boom days of the west and
represented more "hopes" than actu-
llltles. However, many of them reach
e<I goodly proportions before they
started down the Incline. Railroads
ind rumors of railroads were respon
ilble for hundreds of tliese near-towns,
out others were founded on good busl
oess principles.
The .Missouri river was the cause ol
the rise and fall of a number more,
(n many cases, after the towns became
well established on Its banks, the old
Missouri seemed to resent the en-
croachment of civilization, and "start-
ed after" the houses which had been
Sullt close to Its muddy waters. And
when the Missouri undertook to wash
i town away, the town eventually dls-
ippeared. There is no fighting tha
'Mad Missouri."
Omaha, today, Is a city of 150,000,
with suburbs on all sides. But when
Omaha was an Indian village three
S'ebraska towns were vying with each
ather for the state capital. One of
:hese towns has disappeared from the
face of the earth and the farmers'
plow now passes over the spot where
Its largest buildings stood. The second
has become a mere village, although It
once was the rival of Omaha for the
terminus of the Union Pacific railroad
and the Bite of the big Missouri river
bridge. The third Is today a suburb
of the city which was an Indian village
when that town Itself boasted of being
[ the largest place in the state.
I Barney was the name of a good-
| sized town which wns built on Ihe Mis-
souri about 75 miles below Omaha But
I the Missouri got tired of flowing by
| ihe town, and finally ate up all the
dirt upon which the houses were con-
structed. That was the end of Barney.
Bentou was built in the boom days. It
was located on the Platte river and
Union Pacific railroad. Time was
wiien Benton had sevtral hundred cit-
izens, but today there Is no such town
In Nebraska. It bas disappeared.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING
"It Is just a year ago that my sis-
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as If she had sand In them.
Then we used all of the home reme-
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
In the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said It was a very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close-
ly she might lose her eyesight He
made her eyes burn and applied eleo-
trlcity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little lm
provement
"Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cutlcurs
that we thought we would try It, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used It My sister used the Cuttcura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cutlcura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cutlcura Ointment In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured."

Peoria. 111.—Rev. Charles Burdette,
brother of "Bob" Burdette, the humor-
ist has been vindicated after 30 years
of any blame In connection with the
disappearance of |3,i00 from a regis-
tered letter package sent out by the
Peoria postotlice of which he was reg-
istry clerk.
The $3,500 disappeared after It was
put In 12 registered letters by Johu
Comstock, a wealthy resident The
evidence was all against young Bur-
dette and after the first Investigation
had been made Comstock demanded
that Gen. B. W. Magee, veteran of the
Civil war and postmaster at Peoria,
Immediately discharge the registry
clerk.
"Can't do anything for you," said
the old general. "I've known Charles
since he was able to walk. I knew all
his folk. They are honest and the
boy Is honest. They are friends of
mine and I won't discharge Charlie."
Then Comstock carried the matter
to Washington and an Inspector cams
down from Chicago to make a full re
port.
"Charlie" told him how Comstock
appeared at the registry window with
the names of 12 men to whom he was
sending money and asked that the let
ters be registered. Comstock had
asked him to watch him put the money
In the envelopes, which he did.
He also told the Inspector he had
placed the 12 envelopes tn one large
one and had put this large envelope
at the bottom of a mall sack, In ac-
cordance with the custom at that time,
with the registry book on top of the
registered mall. On top of this he
placed the regular mall.

were.
The Inspector made his report and
It was unfavorable to Burdette. When
the report had been considered at
Washington a letter came to General
Magee advising him of what the In-
spector had reported and suggesting
that the best thing to do under the
circumstances was to discharge young
Burdette
General Magee wrote to Washing
ton: "This boy is all real and I am
not going to brand him by discharging
him." And Burdette continued as reg-
istry clerk.
Burdette was working to get money
to study for the ministry and when he
was ordained as a minister was as-
signed as a missionary in Assam, In-
dia. In far away India Burdette made
good as a missionary and after 20
years' service came back to the
United States and accepted a call to
an eastern church. He now has a
pastorate at Springfield, Mass.

A FOOD STORY
Makes a Woman of 70 "One in 10,000."
The widow of one of Ohio's most
distinguished newspaper editors and
a famous leader in politics in his day,
says she is 70 years old and a "stron-
ger woman than you will find In ten
thousand," and she credits her fine
physical condition to the use of Grape-
Nuts:
"Many years ago I had a terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. For years I lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
but it grew so repugnant to me that I
had to give it up. Then I tried, one
after another, a dozen different kinds
of cereals, but the process of diges-
tion gave me great pain.
"It was not until I began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that
I found relief. It has proved, with the
dear Lord's blessing, a great boon to
me. It brought me health and vigor
such as I never expected to again en-
Joy, and In gratitude I never fail to
sound its praises." Name given by
