Trapping is one of the modes by which
muskrats are secured. The traps are
made of boards about 6 inches wide and
3 feet long. These are nailed together
like an ordinary box trap, the open ends
being secured by swinging doors of wire
network, fastened to the upper part of
both entrances. These doors allow easy
ingress-t to the trap, but once in the rat
cannot get out without opening the door
by pulling it to him, which secret they
seem very slow to discover. These traps
are put in the leads running from the
houses to the water when the tide is at
low ebb and the rats are out feeding.
On the return they crawl up the leads,
push against one of the wire doors of
the trap, which Immediately opens into
the trap, but they cannot go further, as
the next door opens toward them. Be-
fore they can gnaw out the tide makes
up and they are drowned in the trap.
By having a number of traps and watch
ing the tides closely a trapper can cap
ture a large number in this wav.-Balti-

An amusing incident occurred some
time ago which illustrates the scanty
ceremony with which shabbily dressed
people are often treated. A country
magnate in the north of England was
called upon with reference to a scheme
for the fu~rtherance of some local charity
by a person whom the servant, judging
by his timeworn habiliments, described
to his master as ''either a beggar or a
tout for ORDERS" adding tn at he had left
him in the hall, not thinking it safe to
show him into n of the rooms. The
''beggar or tout" turned out to be no
less a Parsonage than the member for
the district, and one of the richest men
in the county.-London Tit-Bits.

ARKALoN, Kas., Jan. 5.-Another
blood, chapter has been added to the
criminal history of Southwestern Kansas.
The county seat war between Woodsdale
and Hugoton has again resulted in blood
shed. A plot to kill Judge Botkin, the
opponent of one of the murdered leaders
of the feud, was put into execution today.
1t failed, and the bullets intended for
Judge BotkIn ended the life of a deputy
sheriff. Three weeks since Judge Botkin
received information that a mob composed
of members of the Citizens Alliance of
Woodsdale and Springfield would en-
deavor to assassinate him on the way to
court at Springfieldathis morning.
The information was furnished by a
member Of the conspiracy who gave the
names OF all implicated in the plot. He
also stated the judge would be fired upon
at the head OF the valley near Culvert's
place. one mile southeast of Springfield.
Last night Judge Botkin. Sheriff Dunn
and six deputy sheriffs held a meeting at
the house of the Judge. which is two miles
south of the head OF the canyon.
They decided to scout the country be.
tween the judges house and the court
house and started from the house to the
judges at $3.50 this morning. They came
upon a mob of about forty men with
Winchester rifles and a fight ensued. 1t
lasted until daylight. Sheriff Dunn was
literally riddied with bullets. but all the
other officers escaped and wen to Spring
field. where they barrlcaded themselves IN
a private house. The mob pursued them
to town.
Shortly after day had broken Joe Lari-
bee, a court stenographer, was seen by a
member of the judges family, who all
this time had been at home. approaching
the house on a horse. The mob could
also be seen In the distance. Laribee
fsnked the mob and reached the house,
when he told the Judge the result of the
battle and urged him to fee with his
family to Arkalon.
County Attorney Branchomb secured
the BODY Of Sheriff Dunn and brought Il
here,
In addition to the members of the Cit
liens Alliance who composed the mob.
there were also half a dozen desperate
characters from Grant county. All were

being asked If he sent any reply TO the
telegram which the Columbus labor COM

said: No such dispatch reached me
yesterday, from which | conclude no reply
was wanted before their convention today.
AS to the Chinese question, concerning
which the committee represents itself as
lnquiring, this is true: That Senator
Sherman's record from the first to the
last of that subject, as well as mall other
questions connected with labor, is one
made very wise, continuing and earnest
efforts to advance every interest of Ameri
can workmen. AS to his attitude toward
the pensions. which is challenged by ques-
tions asked, his position, which this COM
mittee represents as hostile to the soldiers,
was distinctly stated in debate by Senator
Sherman, to be based upon his convic,
tons that the proposed measures did not
go far enough to 90 the veterans full jus.
