Don't Want Low Freight Rates.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 3O.-A meeting
was held yesterday afternoon In the
Armour-Cudahy Office, attended by the
superintendents of the Armour-C Cud-
ahy, G. ii. Hammond. Swift & Co., and
Omaha packing houses to discuss the
proposed reduction Of freight rates
from Missouri river points to Chicago
from 25 TO Is cents No definite action
was taken, but the sentiment of the
gentlemen present was against reduc-
ton of the rates on live hogs, they pre-
fprring to have the rate correspond
ingly advanced on packing house prod
ucts. The local houses will act in con-
cert with the Kansas City and other
Missouri packing houses in this matter.

The Siberian Mosquitoes.

Daring the short summer the tenn
reraturc rises, rapidly reaching 81
degs. L. But with the warm season
come the mosquitoes, which are q
plague OF these regions more difficult
to endure than cold. never would
have believed that the insects could
appear in such swarms. They literally
darllencd the light, filing the air with
an incessant noise, covering, us with
a black mantle, our horses, whose
nanks were soon bleeding all over.
Maddened with pain, the horses kicked
and reared, but seeing that all was un-
availing,- they dropped their heads and
submitted TO the inevitable.
In vain we tried to protect ourselves
with wells, travelling, Notwithstanding
The hot weather, in winter gloves and
oycrcoats The mosquitoes penetrated
through the sleeves, under the shirts,
singing the breast and the body,
which ached rs ii burned with fire.
The more we struggled TO get rid of
our tormentors the more we opened
the way to thousands more of them.
On arriving AT the huts Of the Yaliuts
we kindlcd great fire, Which made
such smoke that it pricked the eyes
and clicked the breath, though we lay
stretched on the earthen floor Tie
mosquitoes disappeared, but as soon as
the smoke dispersed little new
swarms penetrated into the hut, cover

One way is to cut from the breasts
square slices, and proceed in the same
way for all the feshy parts OF the BIRD.
Though this is an easy way for the
carver, it has the drawback of allow
ing all the natural gravy to escape
and to leave the most delicate morsels
cEnging to the carcass. Or you may
remove the legs separately, place them
to one side, and then do the same Tor
the wings, but cut them up in pieces
of suitable size; next cut Oft the white
meat as close to the carcass as possible,
and, lastly, break up the carcass; "A
third way, after the wings have been
removed, is 10 break the carcass above
the crupper, which remains attached
to the legs and forms a sort OF hood,
vulgarly called the bishops cup.
This is a good way to serve. Carve
when there are only few persons at
the table; if the guests are numerous
the second way is the better one

The gift of almost any foolish, dang
ling bit of jewelry makes woman
happy, but if some one chances to give
her just ROW funny little gold heart,
like the old fashioned carnelian ones
our mothers wore, she slips fine gold
chain through the lovers knot that
, oakes the loop, and hangs it about
her neck, if its locket, or pins it on
the trout of her gown if its brooch,
and feels herself just the happiest wo-
man in all The world. For, you see,
she has the very latest ornament that
the goldsmith has devised for making
her pretty and happy.
1t may be of gold without ornament,
alton. unless her name be engraved
on one side and some pretty sentiment
on the other, or it may have (and then
she is blest indeed), moonstone set IN
the center and be trimmed about with
brilliants or pearls, or it may even have
a big pearl or diamond in place OF the
moonstone, if she really prefers to have
It so, and can have it. But it's just as

SWALLOWED BY AN ALLIGATOR.
A Human Skull and "a Watch Found in o
Saurian's Stomach.

Saurians Stomach.
Tim Smith, q colored laborer work
ing ON w. T. Fuller's orange grove at
Edgcwater, comes to Palatka nearly
every day in rowboat. TO do this
he is compelled to pass Buzzard ISL
and, dark and lonely place, grown
up with brush and inhabited by all
sorts of wild birds and may well be
termed the home of the alligator, ow-
ing to its quietness and dark waters
which are seldom disturbed beyond tho
ripple of an oar manipulated by the
huntsman.
orseveral weeks Tim Smith noticed
particularly large alligator, whose
back was filled with barnacles and
long green moss. The alligator was
never known to demonstrate any fear,
and would not get out of Smiths way
under any consideration allowing him
to row rather close toward him.
Recently, when Smith started for
town, he put 4 Winchester rifle in his
boat for the express purpose of giving
his gatorship a load of cold lead.
When opposite Buzzard Island the al
ligator reappeared, and, rowing to
within easy range, Smith fired five
shots at the saurian, all of which
seemed to take effect, for the alligator
made terrible ilutterin the water, and
turned over on its back
Three days later Smith found the
dead alligator floating near by, and,
tying rope about It's head, towcd it
TO the Edgcwater grove, when the ALI
gator was found to measure l6 feet 81
inches in length, two balls having en-
tered the skin just back of the head.
Smith then set 10 work and skinned
the sauran for market, when to his
great surprise the darby came across a
human skull, perfectly formed and
unbrolicn, but owing TO the supersti-
tiousness Of the negro he stopped skim
the alligator, which operation was fin
ished bya white employee on the grove.
Further dissection brought to light q
gold watch bearing the initials "G l..
Tt The skull and watch are now on
exhibition at Fry's taNidermy store.
Who the unfortunate man was no
one seems to know, as the initials arc
not familiar about here, but it is sup
posed that he was some sportsman,
who, alone, was attacked and devoured
by the alligator, rs is quite often the
case with northern tourists who come
to Florida and navigate lis streams

Bill Nen and the Lynx Both surpri

Bill Ncn and the Lynx Both Surprised.
\ large lynx made visit to Bill
Neff's cabin on the Emerald and made
lengthy stay-in fact, Mr. Lynx is
there yet. The animal was attracted
by some meat that was hanging out
side the door of the cabin. There was
no lock or bolt to secure the opening,
and while it was climbing up to reach
the meat the door swung open and al
lowed the lynx to founder in, where
he proved genuine surprise party TO
Bill, who was willing away the hours
by reading tiger steries. 1t was hard
to tell which was the most surprised,
the lynx or the man, but the former
evidently thought Bill meant business
a.cn it saw him reach Cor the TX, and
at once made spring.
For several minutes they fought at
close quarters, and at last Bill broke
away from the beast and climbed up on
the sleeping bunk, where he could get
elbow room to swing his weapon. On
came the lynx, but missed his footing.
This was Bills time. As the animal
made another spring for the bunk, the
AK was swung aloft and the pole was
brought down on the skull Of the ami
nal with the usual dull, sickening
thud" The lynx dropped in a heap,
and BIZ came down from his perch to
find that his blow had smashed the
skull. The animal was stone dead.
Nef's clothes were torn TO tatters, and
he says the lynx weighed $50 pounds.

THAT Col. Ropes in marrying Cor
pus Christi has not welded himself
to narrowness is very apparent. His
last nights speech is ample proof OF
that fact. There is nothing cir
cumscribed or sectional about
him, and he has an open eye
and ear and a generous word and
hand for every legitimate attempt to
secure deep water on the Gulf Coast
of Texas. The eminent fairness OF
his mind impresses those with whom
he comes in contact. His work
throughout the Northwest cannot
but be advantageous to Texas, and
what advantages Texas certainly
advantages San Antonio. The LIGHT
cordially commends Col. Ropes and
his work to the great Northwest, to
which he goes as the apostle and
prophet and missionary of the deep
