Kesting's grange grocery was again entered by burglars last night, and tho money drawer rifled of a dollar or two in change.

The thief got in at a broken window in the rear, where a pane had been previously broken out and a board set in with nails. The board was pushed aside, and after satisfying themselves, the thieves or thief unlocked the rear door and walked out. This is the third time, lately, that Mr. Kesting's store has been burglarized, and each time nothing seems to have been disturbed but the money drawer. This drawer, by-the-way, is fastened with a combination lock, and last night the burglar seemed to understand the combination, for it was opened.

So far, no clue to the robber has been discovered. He was as noiseless, top, as he was trackless, for two men sleep within a few feet of the window entered one just over and another within a few feet, at one side, but neither heard any noise.

Standard: I send you a fewjolUnga.bj the waj ia my can-vasaing Aoxu- for your paper. if. On my arrival here there was opened to-my view an old panorama in a new dress. Twenty years has wrought a marvellous change in Kansas, and nowhete more complete than here. Once the limitless green of the prairie presented its grandeur as does the ocean ia its vastness, but as Adam was instructed to dress the garden," God left something for man to employ his intelligence upon and thereby perfect his Master's woSrk.

This he has accomplished Finding, ready furnished to his hand a genial climate and fer tile soil, he has wrought out a paradise such as earth rarely produces. Each quarter section is surrounded by our incomparable hedge, each iri dark green and beautiful, to, the extent of being suggestive of conifort and E. residence' is headquarters for the section. His plantation contains one hundred and sixty acres of fruit trees, vines, shrubbery, evergreens, forest foliage and flowers, and all seem to vie with each other to outdo then neighbors in that direction. Like the suddenly 'checked ocean, as if hold stationary by Borne invisible hand, there are low hills and by woodland rivulets, so grateful to the eye.

i The L. G. railroad affords facilities for travel and shipment to and from this point, which contains a depot, post office, extensive corn cribs and a co-operative store in operation. The agent at the store informs me that he has shipped twelve thousand bushels of corn since last January. And last, but not least, nearly every family, in 4.he vicinity is in receipt of one to four newspa pers.

The pastor of the M. E. church resides here, and seems to le a live man in his place. They are to have a township Sunday School convention at the Cole cieek school house on next Sunday, July 1. Wheat is nearly ready for well, I was going to say sickle I mean reaper, and is a good crop.

Dogs are faithful, they will stick to a bone after every body else has deserted it.

If mules are ever meek it il simply because they are ashamed of them-selfs, but mules are hibrid, and ain't akountable for enny thing. The bees are a bizzy people rather than be idle they will rob each-other ov their hunny. The kockroach is a loafer and don't seem to live so much on what they eat as what they kan git into. Ducks are only cunning about one thing; they lay their eggs in sitch sly places that sometimes they kan't find them again themselfs.

Official Inspection of the Jail. 1 order of the Board of County Commlsjioners, the following gentle-men visited the County Jail tosday: Dr. A. Fuller, Alex. Shaw and J.

II. -Their instructions were to visit the jail and make a report upon its -security and sanitary condition, and any other suggestions the Committee might feel called upon to make. The Committee had not prepared their report to-day, when our reporter called upon the chairman, and until they do so it would be obviously out of place to make any publication of meir recoiumenaations. we may say this, however The Committee tound the sanitary condition of the iail be low what it should be, partly for waut 01 a greater supply or iresli water to the building, and partly on account of the impaired condition of its sewerage. They recognized the necessity of additional buildings for the incarceration of females ami the safekeeping of insane persons.

The committee are to report to the Board at its meeting next week, and we will give our readers a copy thereof so soon as it is ready for publication. The Common wealth says the maple worms have commenced devastating the trees in some portions of To-peka, and some of the citizens were burning roll sulphur to destroy them. They put the sulphur into a vessel, set it on fire and hold it, at the end of a long pole, in the trees. Now is a good time to try the remedy of boring into the body of the trees, through the sap, inserting sulphur in the hole and then filling up the rest of it. This is said to be effective.

We hope our people will hecaieful and prompt in examining the trees in this section, and destroy the worms in time. Jn a walk partly around the west square of the park, this morning, we noticed nearly every maple tree has been already attacked by thesa worms, and many of the leaves ou the lower twigs eaten bare to the stem. A little attention and labor now will save our city the repetition of last summer's destruction and will prevent the unsightly exhibition of a town full of trees as naked of verdure as in winter.

A. N. Godfrey's report to the Govomor on the question of grasshoppers, and are reliable. We give the dates of the reports and where from Beloit, June 20. rThc locusts havo been leaving fast for several days.

A few specimens are to be found that have been killed by the parasite maggot. Crops look well. CawkerCity, June 21. The locusts here are somewhat later in development. Some are just getting their wings.

No damage has been done sinca early in the spring. Between Cawker and Scandia, is a large scope of country containing very few locusts. They hatched plentifully in tho few can now be found. These have not matured so fast as those in the Solomon valley. Scandia, June 22.

At Solomon tho locusts are doing but little at present. One field has been injured slightly by eating the grain from the heads. only noticed this in one field. Two fields, threatened early in the spring, now show evidence of a bountiful harvest. Much was saved by 4.he coal oil pan.

They are getting wings and leaving, very fast. Large quantities are killed by a maggot, the larvai of a large fleshy fly. This fly deposits its eggs on the soft damp wing near the base, immediately after the locust has molted tho last time. The maggot enters Ihe thorax and feeds upon the soft inner portions, very soon causing tho locust to become torpid. The 'hopper, thus affected, becomes less and less active, and finally seeks a sheltered spot to die.

A very few were killed in the pupa state, but a vast majority not affected until the time of acquiring wings. In some portions of the field the dead locusts would average twenty or thirty to the square foot. The maggots, when fully grown are over one-fourth of an inch in length and about one-eighth of an inch in diameter. One dead locust was found to contain eight of these maggots fully grown. Between Scandia and Beloit the injury done by the 'hoppers appears to have been slight, as a rule all the damage being done early in the season.

In maiy farms I find locusts that, have been killed by the maggots. Those alive are leaving as fast as they acquire wings. After tiie locust is dead the maggot still remains in its body, until after the soft parts are consumed, when it escapes into the earth, leaving only the empty skeleton. Scandia, June 22. The valley above Cawker is, on good authority, reported to free from the hoppers.

Humors havo reached me that Jewell, Republic and Washington counties were suffering. These I find to be false, as little injury is being done here. Washington, June 23. This region was much threatened May 18th to tho 22J. One field of rye has been completely stripped of its leaves, presenting au odd appearance.

Strange to say, the heads have scarcely been touched. An ad joining field is now suffering consid erably. It is just heading and tho locusts are attacking the young and tender heads as fast as they ap pear. They arc mostlv fledcrcd however, and will soon leave. have heard rumors through this and Republic county of fields being de stroyed, but the mcst that have come under my observation will make very nearly half a crop.
