Poison FOR RATS AND MICR.--Carloon-
ate of baryta has been found TO be "A
most efficient poison for rats and SINH
lar vermin. Indeed, at a special series
OF trials by the /OOtechnical Institute,
i'm connection with the Royal Agricul-
turac College at PrOskaw, this substance
was found to be more eilicacious than
any other. IL occurs rs "A heavy white
powder, devoid of taste or smell. In
the Proskaw experiment 10 was mixed
with four times its weight of barley
meat, and pellets of the paste were in
troduced into the holes of the rats,
hOnse mice, and field mice. A small
quantity proves fatal. IL appears 10
cause immediate and complete paralysis
of the hind eXtLemities, so that IL may
be assumed that mice eating of il in
their holes will die within them, and
so not prove destructive i'm their turn
TO dOmesticated animals that might
otherwise devOur their carcasses. It
was found IN practice that neither fowls
nor pigeons would touch the paste,
either In It's soft state or when hardened
by the sun; so that its employment is
probably free from danger TO the Occu-
pants of the poultry yards. Some rab-
bits, on the other hand, that got access
TO the paste ate heartily Of IT and paid
the penalty with their lives. Next to
the carbonate of baryta paste the Ordi-
nary phosphorus paste proved most de-
structive, and this, it was found by eX-
pertinent, is more attractive TO the mice
In soft form than when hardened into
pills. But IL is considerably dcarer
than the baryta preparation, AN import
ant factor In the calculations of the
farmer who has to wage war against
rodents on an extensive scale.

purpose, If a healthy one is not obtain

audience, TO convince them that il
doesn't contain false bottom. Now
attract their attention by relating a
little story about "A hen in Oshkosh that
laid four eggs on each week day and
seven on Sunday. This will put the
audience in good humor. Then call
upon young man with light trousers

comes upon the stage, motion him "a
chair, and as he is i'm the act of sitting

as IL will prove healthier-for the per-
former.

Board of Public Works.

A regular meeting of the board of public
works was held yesterday forenoon, Messrs
Becker and Harrington being in attendance.
Consideration of the final assessments for
grading Ohio street and Como avenue was laid
over until the next meeting. A communities
ton was read from number of property own
ers on Pennsylvania avenue, Columbia, Mime
haha and other streets, protesting against the
assessment for the partial grading of L'Orient
street.
The objections were based on the grounds
that the partial improvement of the stteet is
OF no earthly benefit to the surrounding prop
erty. After discussing the assessment at
length, it was decided that tho board consult
with the city attorney as to the advisability of
applying to the council for an appropriation of
$1,000 to apply on the assessment.
Consideration of the assessments for grading
streets in the Second and Third wards was post
poned until the next meeting.
The clerk was directed to give the first ASSESS
ment notice for grading an alley in Merchants
hotel block.
The assessment for grading LOrient street
was laid over.
The matter of the assessment for grading
Como avenue, amounting to $21, 800, was in

REVOLUTIONARY PROPOSITION

4 REVOLUTIONARY PROPOSITION.
Whether or not the people of the United
States will be permitted to select the mar
who is to occupy the executive chair aftel
Mr.. Hayes term expires is yet question in
volved in great deal of doubt. There are
conspiracies in the air that threaten once
more to forestall the action of the people
and eventuate in the Inauguration of per.
son in the Presidential Office who has moi
been elected under the forms of law hitherto
respected. The threat has already been
uttered by the New York Tribune, and has
been reiterated by other Republican author
ity. that in case the probabilities favor the
success of the Democratic Presidential ticket
next year, the Republican legislatures of the
States of New York, New Jersey and Con-
nectiout will pass bills which shall provide
for the choice of Presidential electors by the
legislatures device that would inevitably
defeat the Democratic party.
While such plan is not contrary to the
provisions of the constitution, it is certainly
contrary to usage, and is therefore revolu-
tlonary. The constitution declares that
each State shall appoint electors in such
manner as the Legislature may direct. The
legislatures of all the States save two-South
Carolina and Florida-have all along pro-
vjded that the electors shall be chosen bv a
direct vote OF the people. These two excep-
tions have fallen into line with their sister
States, and now are in full accord with the
rest of the country. The system now in

Treasurysh1p Middle In KandiyOhi County.
There must be something radically defeo-
tive in the law creating the Office Of public
examiner and prescribing the duties of that
officer, or in the manner of its execution,
A few weeks previous to the late election the
Governor, on the report of the examiner,
backed by the request of the county commis.
sioners, suspended Hugh Sanderson, treas
urer of Kandiyohi county, for malfeasance,
and successor was appointed by the county
commissioners. Sanderson refused to rec
ognize the order of suspension,
but continued to discharge the duties
of the Office. The appointee Of
the commissioners thoreupon commenced
proceedings in the supreme court of quo
warranto to compel Sanderson to turn over
the records and funds, and GUST him from
the Office. Owing to some defect, the pro-
ceedings did not come on for hearing by
the court until yesterday, when it was argued
and taken under advisement.
In the mean time, both Sanderson and
the commissioners appointee continued to
perform the duties Of treasurer, while both
secured the nomination of their respective
adherents for the Office, and after an excit-
ing campaign, Sanderson was defeated by a
few votes. He still remains in Office, how
ever, and probably will do so until the expi-
ration of the time for which he was elected,
when the present doubled headed affair will
probably be terminated. But that oompli-
cations will result from the arrangement,
which will not be settled for years, cannot
be doubted.

The Minneapolis Tribune hosts of having
been "to the expense of special telegram in
order to present to its readers some of Mr..
Donnelly's outpourings at Washington in re-
spect to his alleged CONTEST" The Tribune
omits to state that these ''outpourings'' were
telegraphed from Washington to tho Chioa-
60 Times. Its Chicago man seeing that it
WAS about Minnesota matters, put 1t on the
wires to the T''i5., and having been to the
expense of the telegram it published DON
nelly's statement, which it has heretofore
carefully concealed from its readers. But
the Trib. had its revenge. That Chicago
correspondent was turned adrift upon the
cold charities of an unfeeling world.
