MORRIS, MINI, July 23rd, 1890.
EDITOR Sun:
notice in your Issue Of the 18th
inst, very intelligent article by tire
very intelligent County Commissioner
and District Alliance lecturer MIR.
Milo Camp Of the Town Of Scott,
severely crlticising the action of the
Village of Morris, in the matter of
arresting and furnishing criminals.
This very intelligent County Com
missioner and District Alliance lect.
urer says THAT the Village fines and
secures the money of criminals, If
they have any, and it they have not,
they are sent to the County Jail and
the county is forced to pay their
board. Now if this distinguished in.
dividual would consult legal autho.
rity and learn something in relation
to criminal law. he would learn why
criminals are sent 10 the county Jail
and learn that the Village of Morris
claims rights in this matter other
than that claimed by any town in the
county. He would learn on enquiry
that all the cases brought before me
as Justice of the Peace were State
Cases, with the exception of two or
three and for which the Village pay
the expense, and they kick not. He
would learn also that / have, as
Justice of the Peace air ready paid into
the County Treasury S25 in fines foI
which l hold the County Treasures
receipt. and the Village has not as
yet received one cent and there is
but IS due the Village for fines, and
that there is still more, due the
county and at the proper time will
receive the County Treasurers re
ceipt therefor.
Perhaps it might be we'll enough tt

not only eat all the leaves, but the
bark of the tender growth of this
season land many groves are as barren
of leaves as in nidwinter. This is
the third year they have been here.
The cotton wood does not thrive as
we'll here as in some localities, and
whether from the effects of the bug

some other cause l cannot say, but In
many groves the cotton wood trees
are nearly all dead root and branch,

VITALITY OF WHEAT.

Tho Intense Cold to Which 1t Can Be Ex-
posed with Perfect Safety.
A very curious fact is recorded by Sir
George Mares in his account of the Polar
expedition. which he conducted on behalf of
the British government in the 81. NJ. s..
Alert and Discoveryin the years 1S75-1S76.
It appears that he found at Polaris bay q
bag of wheat which had been sent thither
about 1871 by the Smithsonian Institute, Of
Washington, through the American "Po-
laris'' expedition, for the purpose of testing
the cold-resisting capacity of this cereal,
but we are informed that the wheat had
been exposed to the rigors of at least four
Arctic winters, and had also lain through
three summers. What the climate Of
Polaris bay is like will be gathered from Sir
Georges narrative, when he records, at
'sAlert's'' winter quarters, on March 4, 1876,
that 1.-The mean temperature for the last
two DAYS has been minus 69.6 degrees; yes-
terday two reliable thermometers regis
tered minus % degrees, tie mean being
minus %. 75 degrees, or more than 105 de-
grees below the freezing point of fresh
water. The mean temperature of the pre-
ceding month was recorded as minus 80 de-
grees and during the month of January
the mercury in the thermometer was frozen
for several days" Nor is this excessive
cold surprising when it is remembered that
Polaris bay is situated between the ATTITUDES
of 81 degrees and 50 degrees north But in
spite of the intense cold to which it had
been exposed, the wheat was far from hay
ing been, as a whole, deprived of its ger
minative properties. A sample of the wheat
was taken to Kew, where it was tested by
Sir Joseph Hooker, who found that GO per
cent of the berries still retained sufficient
vitality to generate. We are not informed
of the kind Of wheat chosen of experiment.

HUNTING TARANTULAS.

How the Ugly Spiders Are Caught in
Arizona and New Mexico.
It used to be standing joke on the West
ern frontier, when asked if you were going
to hunt Indians, to reply: "Why, mol
haven't lost any Indians"
For the same reason, the wisest plan
would be not to hunt tarantulas; but it will
do no harm to tell how they are hunted and
caught in Arizona, New Mexico and other
Southwestern localities, where they abound.
The tarantula inhabits an exquisitely con-
structed apartment, closed outwardly by
circular, many webbed mesh, varying in di-
ameter from two to four inches.
To the accustomed eye, this web betrays
the SPIDERS den Enthusiastically. Directly
underneath it one comes upon a tiny circu-
lar door, generally little larger than a sill
yer dollar.
This door is wonderfully made of silken
weavings, finished on the outer side with
bits of bark and leaves, and turning a
hinge whose perfect workings an accom-
plished mechanic might envy. opening into
a si1ken-lined passage about foot in
length, the home of the spider.
Tarantula hunting is the sport of the WIS.,
itors at health resort near Templeton,
whence gaily-attired parties sally forth,
armed with long sticks, sometimes trimmed
with knots of ribbon.
They carry large bottles of water. A
Iaranuula mole reached, OF q tardnIuia tOWn
for the creatures are generouS-the web
and door are torn away and water is poured
down the hole.
If the spider is at home he will rush out
as fast as his clumsy legs can carry him.
With dexterity and nerve he may be
scooped into can and quickly covered, or
may be allowed 10 fasten on the end of the
walking -stick, whence he must be tumbled
into the trap before he tumbles for the
captor.
A California physician states that a mus
cular tarantula can clear fourteen feet at
jump-that he has seen it done. Fortu-
nately, such agility is altogether exception
al. Well cared for, the bite is not neces-
sarily fatal.-Golden Days.

THE Usage INDIANS.

They Own Plenty of Lands and Millions of
American Dollars.
''You would hardly believe that the
richest people in the world are the Usage
Indians, yet that is fact"
Charles Crooks, of Caldwell, Kan,
made this statement in answer to the
remark that Indians could never get
along by themselves.
s'The Osages," he continued, "show
what the red men can accomplishif they
are so disposed. The tribe only num-
bers 1, 500 and they own 1,5OO. 600 acres
of land in the Indian Territory on which
they have large herds of cattle. Some
of their lands are leased to cattlemen
and from this an annual income of about
$40, 600 is derived. This money is used
in running their Government Their
original grant was in the southern part
of Kansas. 1t contained 5000, 600 acres
and by the treaty of 1856 they were paid
S1.2 an acre for this and also given
their present reservation. Eight mill
lion dollars of the money received from
the lands were placed in the Treasury
Department and they receive an inter
est of 5 per cent.

have sheriffs, constables and like
officials, and the best of order is pre-
served. The Indians are strongly OPP
posed to the allotment of their lands in
severalty, and they are perfectly salts
fed with their present condition.
Their progress is slightly retarded,
as the full bloods are in the majority.
Blankets and fringed leggings are still
favorites of the old ones, who also cling
to the old traditions of their tribe. In

members will be in power. Then the
Osages will be near the leaders of civil

increasing nor decreasing. The number
remains about the same.
