Interfere with Street Cars and Put Women in Panic at Omaha.
    A plague of crickets has swept down on Omaha and has made life a burden to the inhabitants. The insects appeared suddenly by the millions. Falling on the street car track and being crushed by the wheels, they so greased the rails that traffic was badly crippled. That the little pests came hungry is proved by the fact that they destroy all clothing and carpets with which they come in contact. Bushels of them have been swept from the stores. They cause much terror among the women. They almost put out the street lights.
