Cricket Pest In Galesburg.

A Visitation by Insects Annoys Merchants and Retards Business.

Swarms of crickets invaded Galesburg recently. No part of town escaped, but they were densest near electric lamps, many of which were obscured. On Main street they were so thick as to make walking very disagreeable. Pedestrians could not avoid trampling upon them and being surrounded by them. Hotel guests were driven inside, and a leading restaurateur had to give up service because of the numbers of crickets on the tables.
