Killing or Squirrels,

The following novel plan of riddips farms of squirrels is being tried in DOT. tions of Asotin county, Wash. Several furrows aie plowed in the field nearest where the squirrels are thickest, and at a distance of about every thirty or forty feet holes to depth of about twenty in. ches are sunk with a posthole digger. The squirrels, it is asserted, will take possession of the furrows as a play ground, and while running after one an other will tumble into these holes, from which they cannot emerge, but die. Several farmers who have tried it say it works admirably.-Asotin (Wash. Sen tinel.

The Ne,x P,rIs nridre.

The new bridge in Paris, called the Pont Mirabeau, is to be constructed somewhat on the cantalever principle since it will rest upon two piers and meet in the center. Its stability, how. ever, will depend upon an adjustment of weight like that of a huge crane. The long arm meeting in the center will be of light construction, and to compensate for its weight the short arm received by the abutment will be specially heavy New York Times.

The Lawyer Won.

The ownership of dog was contested by a lawyer and farmer in Moberly, Mo. The dog was worth about ten cents, but the costs of the suit amounted to over $10O. These the farmer had to pay, as the law gave the dog to the other claimant. The farmer was mad, but the dog didn't seem at all displeased as he went of with the lawyer.-Yankee Blade.

Producers Sign an Agreement to Cease Work
for Six Months
PrrTsBCRG. April IA number Of the lead
ing oil producers in the southwest are taking
action looking to a general suspension Of the
drilling operations for period of six months
from about May 1. Many Of the largest oper-
atng individual firms and companies with head
quarters in this city, have already signed the
agreement, which is so drawn that it must be
signed by all producing companies or IT is to be
null and void. The idea meets with gene raj favor
among the operators who bind themselves TO
build no rigs nor start any wells to drilling be-
fore the 18th of October, except under specified
circumstances.
or course. the idea is to curtsil production and
in the natural course OF things to raise prices
Copies OF the agreement are being sent to all
parts of the oil country, but naturally all
provisions, il carried into effect. will
apply more particularly to that part OF the
producing territory in the southwest-south
of the town of Butler The move ent started
outside of the Producers Protective Associa-
ton and is entirely independent Of it. 1t
IS said by the projectors of the scheme
that the Standard:producing companies have
signifed perfect Willingness to sign the agree
ment and assist in the movement provided a
sufficient number of the independent producers
TO make it successful shall go into 20 il in good
faith. So far as known there have been no re-
fusals to sign the papers which are being indus

HE WAS A HERO,

Disastrous Fire On an Old Colony Line
steamer-A Brave Fireman.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April 1.-THE steamer
City of Fitchburg Of the Old Colony Steamship
Company, which arrived from New York
yesterday morning with miscel-
laneous cargo Of freight, was seriously
damaged at her dock this morning.
When the matches were opened the deck hands
encountered a mass of flames and smoke. The
entire forward hold, loaded with cotton and
grain, was in flames. which spread aft. around
both sides of the engine room and into
the after hold, where the mis-
cellaneous merchandise was loaded Work
forward saloon and officers rooms. The Off
GERS lost nearly all their personal effects. The
crews quarters on the after part of this deck
were also damaged and the men lost much Of
their property. Two streams were poured in
from the wharf hydrants and nine streams
from the fire engines.
PROVED HIMSELF HERO.
Besides this, Assistant Engineer Thomas
Emerson was sticking at his pumps on the
Fitchburg surrounded by burning freight and
showered with burning embers, all escape cut of,
we'll nigh suffocated. Yet stufing his wet
handkerchief in his mouth and lying fiat on his
face he remained at his post till the blaze was
extnguished.
Two tugs also sent on powerful streams OF
salt water. Freight on the wharf was rapidly
removed and much OF the steamers cargo
thrown overheard was picked up uninjured ex-
cept BY water. The flames ragged two hours,
but finally succumbed after hard struggle.
The steamer is insured and il Is thought her
cargo 10 also. The damage has not yet been
estimated, but it will be heavy.

PLAYING FOR HIGH STAKES.
The Game In which English and American
Wheat Spectators are Taking Hand.


CHICAGO, April 1L-wheat was excited and
higher today with the trading on a larger
scale and prices fuctuating sharply. The
little short seller, Edward Pardridge. made
a pretense Of selling against the world,
but it was noticed that only two of his avowed
brokers were in the pit and their actions while
ostensibly bearish to distraction were
really decidedly circumspect The i'm
proved condition OF winter wheat
as shown in Washington statistics
was the chief factor in the rise. The report
would probably have had far greater influence
ana gone great way toward helping the bulls.
Illuminated by Partridge, in earnest, butfor the
news from across the water.
The trade was good deal amazed at the
cable Half the brokers inclined to the opinion
that the Liverpool price had beer rugged by
some interested operators on this side. Saturday
night the trade about unanimouslycon that
United State government winter wheat was
ouliish. Weak cables were expected as a
matter OF course. They came almost panicky.
Liverpool prices were down ~. Later arrived
news that Corriman. Phillips & Co. promi-
nent grain house of London. had failed, and
other failures were snid to be imminent This WAS
taken as largely explaining the weak cables.
though II was stoutly asserted that the English
trade were playing the American government
report as moro or less bearish card, and sus-
picions Of manipulation in the figures were not
wholly removed.

The United States Supreme Court Decides
Against the Drummer
The United States Supreme Court today
gave decision in favor Of the county in the
case of Charles L. Ficklen against the taxing
district of Shelby county, Tenn, brought here
on appeal by Ficklen from a decision of
the state court Ficklen had an Office
in Tennessee at which he took orders
for goods. His business was entirely with
firms outside the state and differed from that
Of ordinary commercial travellers principally
in that he did not travel about So
liciting orders, but had an Office where
he exhibited samples. A law was passed i'm
posing license tax Of ESQ on dealers in mer-
chandise and also . tax on their capital
Where there was no capital invested,
as war the case with Ficklen, il was provided
that ~ per cent tax should be paid
on all commissions received. Ficklen paid
the license fee and reported his sales
during the year 1887, but refused to pay the
commission tax on the ground that the bust
ness done was entirely for firms outside the
state and that the act was void as
regulation Of interstate commerce. When be
applied for license in 1888 IL was refused be-
cause of non-payment OF the commission
tax, and Ficklcn sought by injunction pro-
ceedings to compel its issuance. In an opinion
by Chief Justice Fuller the Supreme Court
today held that the supreme court Of Tennes-
see had properly decided against Ficklen.
