trap for catching rats. gophers, and other
small animals. Mr.. Mcguire, the blind
man, has them for sale at the corner Of
Brady and Front streets. The trap is made
to set at the entrance Of a rat hole and as
the animal comes out or goes in he is caught
by the neck with q mortal grip and his
mutton cooked Immediately. They cost
only fifty cents, don't get out Of orler. and
are not liable to be damaged by wet or cold

ESECRATION OF THE SABBATH.-
In view OF the dissracefnl fracss which oc>

following paragraph in Monday mornings

''In this city we have To Sunday ordinan
ces which can he enforced, although we do
not think in this western country, where
the population is so much mixed, very strin-
gent laws should be adopted. The Germans
have their own way Of observing the Sab
bath, and it would not he right to disturb
them in their sxerciees. The Sunday night
dances and theatres are an institution OF the
Faderland, and they cannot be induced to
throw them aside in this, their adopted
country
1t is a slander upon our German popula-
