PARTS of this country are badly over
run by rabbits. All over the sparsely
settled portions OF the arid regions be-
tween the Mississippi river and Rocky
mountains the Jack rabbit and the
cotton tall are serious pests. In por-
tions OF western Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma it is hardly possible to grow
the muskmelon. The rabbits are very
fond of the young and tender plants,
and eat them off as fast as they appear.
Young fruit trees also suffer badly from
them. The farmers in a neighborhood
will band together, shoot, poison, trap,
and catch them with dogs, but with
little apparent effect in lessening their
number permanently.

Mayor Washburne Investigating the
Water Department OF the Windy City.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4. -Evidence of seeming
Irregularities of the grossest sort in the
management of the city water office have
been discovered by Mayor Washburne
and Commissioner of Public Works Al
drich.
A thorough examination of that bureau
and a sweeping investigation of the books
have been ordered by the Mayor. One or
more of the officials of the department
may be suspended from their positions
before tonight
If the experts inspection of the office
should confirm the facts given to Mayor
Washburne, there will be a wholesale
clearing out in the water office, and Grim
inal prosecutions may be instituted.

GENERAL KELLOGG was nominated
for congress on the ground that in days
gone by he had represented the demo-
cratic second district and must there
fore possess elements of popularity.
The republican leaders seem to forget
the circumstances connected with Mr.
Kellogg's election. He was a mere
accident and owed his good fortune to
circumstances. This year he has pitted
against him a man of recognized ability
and a worker who knows no such word
as fail. What opposition there was
to Mr. Pigott before he received the
nomination has apparently been for
gotten and in Waterbury at least there
will be united work for the democratic
nominee. And not only that, but many
republicans will vote against General
Kellogg, for good and sufficient reasons.

A FEW years ago there was serious
movement in this country for the aboli-
ton of all foreign ministries, above the
rank of consuls, as a useless expense. If
any advocate of that policy were now to
take census of the republican minis
ters who are not attending to their Off
cial duties abroad, and who are ION the
stump" here at home, very weighty
argument in favor of the abolition of
high priced foreign ninisterships would
be developed.

A CURIOUS case of lunacy is reported
from Louisville, Ky. Henry Hejlza, a
dairyman there, last Friday began to
sing at the top of his voice ''Ta-ra-ra
Boom-de-aye," and no persuasions
could prevail upon him to stop. For
two days and nights he continued to
sing, when he was arrested on writ de
lunatico. He drove off in the patrol
wagon singing his song and continued
to sing it when lodged in the Jail. On
all other topics he is entirely rational,
but insancly persists in singing that
maddening air spite of all that can be
done.

Morris Will Not Accept the Honor
Swinburne Not to be Asked.
LONDON, Nov. 4. - Notwithstanding
the qualified denial by William Morris,
the Socialist poet, that he had been Of
fered the post of Poet Laureate, it has
been ascertained that Mr.. Gladstone del
egated Professor Bryce to make the offer
to Mr.. Morris, and that the latter de-
clined it.
1t is said that Mr.. Gladstone prefers for
the present to avoid offering the honor to
Swinburne, probably because Swim burne
has been opposed to Irish Home Rule,
and also because Swinburne is said to
have shocked Mr.. Gladstone, as well as
the royal family, by poem about a year
ago, in which he advocated the assassin
alton of the Car of Russia.

Valuable Metal.

Aluminium has been so successfully
experimental with for articles hitherto
made of steel and other metals for the
use of soldiers that 1t promises to take
the place of steel in army equipments
to a great extent. Lieut.. w. @. Brown,
of the First cavalry, stationed at Den
yer, has sent to the war department
samples of saber belt plate, a fork,
spoon, canteen, cartridge belt plate,
meat can, blanket straps, etc, made OF
this metal. There is not only a saving
in weight in the accoutrements of the
infantry soldier and in the horse equip
ments of the cavalry of a pound or
more, but aluminium possesses resist
ance to corrosion, and articles made
from it will seldom require any cleaning
other than occasionally to be wiped off
with a moist cloth. Lieut.. Brown also
declares that with aluminium at one
dollar and fifty cents pound in the
manufactured shape, the saber belt and
infantry cartridge belt plates can actu-
ally be furnished for less than they are
now supplied in brass by the war de
partment. The canteen made of this
material will never rust, and will not
only be more durable than the tin one,
but the water in 1t will remain pure
instead of being contaminated with
rust, as is now frequently the case.

A stal1ion,s Crushing Tactics.

What might have been a fatal attach
took place near Parham, N. Y. A man
working with a threshing machine had
a stallion he used to move the machine
from place to place. While taking him
out of the stable the animal, without
any warning, caught him by the arm,
threw him down, and then got on top
with both knees with the evident inten-
ton of crushing the life out of him. A
bystander seized a neck yoke and
knocked the horse down, thus enabling
the man to escape. This Is the second
person this vicious animal has nearly
made an end of.
