RATS AND CHICKENS.

An Iowa lady gets the better of the
rats that infest her poultry quarters as
follows:
"a tight floor was put in the hen house
a foot and half from the ground; this
floor Is of oak boards, and every knot
hole Is covered with tin, firmly nailed
down; the windows are three feet or
more from the ground; there is small
trap-dOOr in the floor, and boards placed
angling from this opening down to the
ground, so that the chickens can run up
them easily. During the day the hens
and their brOOds run in the yard with
the other fowls, and the presence of the
cock keeps away the rats. At night they
ascend the inclined plane into the hen
house, go to their respective boxes or
corners with their bTOOds, the trap-dOOr
Is shut, the door of the house securely
closed, and all the fowls, old and young,
secure from vermin, and supplied with
all the fresh air afforded by two open
windows. Here they remain until re-
leased in the morning. By this means,
and this only, have we been able to pro-
tect them from rats. The little chicks
are not allowed to leave the house at
all until nearly week old, then they
are strong enough to get back again
in safety" ...

Canton, Ohio, April 3, 1888.
MY NEW DEPARTURE in business is fully
vindicated by year of successful business be-
yond my most sanguine hopes. And nearlv as
much business in the last six weeks as in the
the first four months of last year is not only en-
couraging, but fully proves that my effort and
Plans for Cutting off the Enormous Profits neces-
sary to carry on business in the old way, are be-
ing appreciated as they are becoming known.
Having sadly learned that in the old way of do
ing business with Heavy Stocks, Trust, Trade
and Wait, Big Rents and Expenses that n ne
than two thirds of all the profits made are sun y
IN EXPENSES, and Losses in Bad Accounts &c.
adopted NEW DEPARTURE' IN BUSI-
NESS on the Strictly Economical Basis of Small
Rents, Mere Nominal Expense, No Trust No Bad
Accounts, Small Stock of Goods, supplemented
by an endless variety of Samples from the lead
ing Cloth Houses in the Cities, giving me
larger variety of styles for nv customers to
make selections from, than any two houses in
the county. And the last year has shown me
that the trade as they learn of the advantages I
offer will buu where they can get THE BEST
GOODS FOR THE LEAST MONEY. NV lines for
the spring and summer are full and complete.

Growth Of Mormonism:

The Modern Age
Mormon statistics are difficult to OBJ
tain, but Mrs. Paddock is excellent nu-
thority for the statement that more po.
lygamous marriages occurred In 1880
than in any year since the formation OF
the sect. What significant fact! As
people we have been content to close
our eyes to the hideous wrong. and, be-
cause II was not brought to our daily
notice, believe that IL was dying out. II
is nn unquestionable truth that the
Normons are to-day more active. more
united, more numerous and more pow
crful than they have ever been before.
Is It wonderful that they wax defiant
when the United States government has
seemed to them powcrlcsss from the
failure of the puny efforts It has put
forth to compel them to observe our ma
tional lawsP So radical wrong re-
quires n radical remedy, and we do not
doubt that the government would re-
ceive almost unanimous support II II
applied to the territory Of Utah tenn
porary form Of absolute government
which would render II impossible for
Mormon offenders to escape punishment
on mere legal technicalities. The peo-
pie will look to the coming session Of
Congress for some sharp and decisive
Legislation which shall put an end for
ever to the growing power Of Mormon
ism. and perhaps mete out punishment
for the hundreds Of past murders which
have gone SO long unsvenged.

H. S. Strange, of Walsenburg, visited
Pueblo on the 18th, with the intention of fur

der, If the prisoner could be admitted to bail
Mr.. Strange stated that Lavender was hard
character, and at the time of his death he was
under indictment for an attempt to kill Mr.
Strange. Hope, 1t is thought, will be cleared
on the ground of self-defence.
Sheriff Spangler, of Arapahoe county,
and part of the sheritf's force in Gunnison

them broke out of jail the first when an
exciting chase took place in the II Noun
tains, during which many shots were fired. AT
last accounts the fugitives were yet uncap-
tured. .
E. A. Sawdy, of Boulder creek, was
killed with knife by Col. Doughtry, n ranch
man, at Longmont on.the 22nd. The story of

dispute over money matters and retired out
of town to settle it by pugilism. stradley got
worsted and returned to town and made an
offer of s25 to any one who would beat Dough-
try to death. sawdy undertook the job, with
the result above stated Doughtry disap-
peared. The murdered man left wife and

Admiral Porter's Annual Report.
The annual report of Admiral Porter
contains a criticism Of the new armed steel
cruisers designed by the naval advisory board,
as being deficient In canvas and US constructed
so as not to work under sail. This, In time Of
war, may be n fatal defect, as all coaling sta
tions would be closed against us, and In time
OF peace naval vessels SHOULD cruise under sail
for the sake OF economy.
Admiral Porter believes In the immediate
construction Of a large number OF swift vessels
with powerful guns and thinks we could build
twenty large ships In two years.
Prompt attention to the defenses he consid-
cred point Of importance and sees no reason
why we should not commence 10 build ON the
lake shore two of the heaviest Iron clads with
powerful guns and great speed. Upon this
subject the admiral says there Il every facility
for constructing such vessels on Lake Erie and
one such ship stationed near Buffalo could. In
case Of thresthened hostilitics, drop from the
mouth of the Wellsud canal and dcmoli,h the
entrance, docks, etc, rendering the work use
