NEW YORK, March % General
Swayne, one of the counsel for JAY Gould,
in an interview with United Press re-
porter to-day stated that he had been c7n-
suited regarding the action OGthe Knights

order as well as against individual menu
berS of the order by the Missouri Pacific
Company to recover all damages the COM
pany may have sustained by reason of the
strike.
"The actions" he continued, evil be
commenced in st. Louis at an early day,
but am not at liberty to say whether in
StructiOns have already been sent to st.
Louis 10 commence proceedings. The
liabilities of the Knights of Labor are of
both a civil and criminal character. II
conspiracy can be proven, criminal action
will be commenced"
When asked how members of secret
organization like the Knights of LABOR
could he discovered so As to enable his
company to begin actions against in
dividualS, General Swayne said:
eve will have no trouble in beginning
actions against several organizations, and
when that is done we can bring any of
their officers into court and compel them
to disclose the names of members Their
oathS of secrecy Will not shield them
from answering questions in court of
justice, and if they refuse to answer on
that ground they viii certainly be COM
mitted for contempt"

suicide of a prominent Politician.

BLOOMINGTON, H., March 25.-This
morning Hon. William NJ. Smith, of Lex
ington, sixteen miles from this city, shot
himself through the head with a revolver,
his death occurring instantly. Smith was
one of the best known Republican politi-
clans of Illinois, and has occupied the pO-
Sitions of Speaker of the House of Repre-
Sentatives, member of the State Board Of
Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners
Public Charities, etc. He was an intimate
friend of General Logan and did much
years ago TO advance the political inter

How the California WoodpecIxer Supplies
Himself With Maggots.


Himself With Maggots.
In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall of the
year, invariably in pine tree. Then
he finds an acorn, which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its recep-
ton. But he does not eat the acorn,
for. as a rule, he is not a vegetarian.
His object in storing away the acorn
exhibits foresight and knowledge of re-
suits more akin to reason than TO in
stinct. The succeeding winter the
acorn remains intact, but, becoming
saturated. is predisposed to decay.
when it is attacked by maggots, who
seem to delight in this special food. 1t
is then that the wOodpecker reaps the
harvest his wisdom has provided, at a
time when, the ground being covered
with snow, he would experience diff
Guilty otherwise in obtaining suitable or
palatable food 1t is subject of specu-
latiOn why the redwood cedar or the
sugar-pine is invariably selected. 1t is
not probable that the insect the wood
pecker is so fond of is found only on
the outside of two trees; but true it is
that in Calaveras, Mariposa and other
districts of California trees of this kind
may be seen covered all over their
trunks with acorns. when there is not
an oak tree within several miles, Chi
