TIGER HUNTING.
Indian SpOrtsmen Near a '.Kill' waiting

Indian SpOrtsmen Near .KiIl' waiting
For Their Prey.
The only two methods of tiger.hunt-
ing that are practical really here are
netting" and sitting up all night in a
tree by ''kill' waiting for the tiger to
return for his food Almost all sports
men have tried this latter, and gener-
ally been disappointed, as was in an
other part of India, and have always
solemnly vowed that each occasion
should be their very last. only to be
found at it again on the very next OPP
portunity. Some really like this soli-
tary watching, but it has very many
drawbacks to its enjoyment Several
Indian sportsmen, who have killed their
forty or fifty tigers, have told me they
had been nearly always unsuccessful

ting from about four o'clock in the
afternoon until day break next day, al

mosquitoes come in quantities, and per-
haps scorpion will ferret you out, or,
worse than all, you may be visited
by the red ant 1t is very un-
certain when tiger will return
to the Kill" He may do so as early
as three or four in the afternoon, or
just before daybreak, or not at ALL often
being frightened away, perhaps by
some unforeseen circumstance. The
slightest rustic will make him stop, and
once his suspicious are aroused, he will
not venture near. To shoot him on foot
by stalking is an impossibility. The
sportsmen will occasionally come upon
a tiger when after other game, and may
then have a chance of shot If there
are few men who keep together,
tiger, even if wounded, will think twice
before charging into the middle of them,
and will always shirk the last ten or
fifteen feet. None but the most fool
hardy or utterly ignorant would venture
to follow a wounded tiger into long
grass or very close clover, where it has
every advantage, and the hunter may
be seized before he has time to raise his
rifle. One of the tigers greatest aids
in his attacks is his voice, the sudden
caughing roar of which is paralyzing
to the coolest, and of course for a certain
shot the nerves must be perfectly steady.

IOLSTOI COMING.

Tolstoi purposes paying visit to the

OF agriculture and stock raising, to be-

America who cultivate the soil" In
other words, he will visit America to see
if he cannot gain here some practical
knowledge which NAV be put TO useful

A REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.

The Republican party of Kansas has
suffered as much or more from a sup
posed corporate domination of its leaders
than from any other single accusation,
just or unjust. For wears the particular
and effective cry against the party has
been that of railroads" and railway
control" The charge has been reiter-
ated over and over that our senators have
been elected, or judges influenced and
our legislators bought, owned and con-
troled by railway money. and by the
influence of railway and other corpora
ton officials, until denial ceased to have
any effect in staying either prejudice or
conviction. 1t is an undisputea fact that
the Republican party of Kansas
lost enough votes in the last
election, through this single charge. to
have saved the entire state and legisla-
tive tickets, AS party we have had
this curse long enough without any re-
ciprocating results, for it is equally true
that in the late election the railway Of
ficials did not, as they probably could
could not, in the least degree, control
the army of voters in their employ fer
the Republican ticket The party then,
now being relieved of all responsibility,
and having relegated all of its old-time
leaders, should at once proceed to divest
itself of the odIlm of being thus
owned and controlled, by cutting loose
from tins sold man of the sea-"
not only, but by resolving that
hereafter no railway magnate
be included in its councils, nor corpora.
ton hirelings or railway attorneys or
agents OF any character be its candidates
for Office. Outside of the prejudice of
the times it is the part of party wisdom
to have done with corporations and their
bosses as political factors. They should
be controlled by just and equitable laws
and dealt with honorably, as important
interests and great material factors, but
comes of too mucn intimacy. The way
to cut loose effectually and to avoid all
such trouble for the future is for the Re-
publican conventions to utterly refuse
to nominate any man for Office who has
any official or financial connection with
railway corporations and ignore the per-
sons and advice of all local heaIers who
have connection with, or who in any
way represents the interests of any great
or of its officials.

Katie was fresh from Ireland, but, as
she said, she came of the better class of
trades people, and was withal neat
looking girl, though very, very much
in need of enlightenment in American
ways, especially ways of housekeeping.
She was quite ignorant of the names of
the most common kitchen utensils and
their uses were mysterious and strange
to her. But her mental darkness in
this respect was not to be compared to
her unsophisticated innocence regard
ing social equality, the rights of women
and the progress of her sex.
She had been told that there were

substantive, doctor, had but one gen.

"Well," replied the young lady smil-
ing little at distinction made be-
tween the married and unmarried state
and brushing away its implied i'm

The girl stared in bewilderment for n
moment and then calculating: Are you

from the room in dismay.

JAILED FOR NAUGHT.

Charles schroedering in, Durance Vile
Charged With Larceny - Tho Missing
Article Returned and tho Charge With
drawn-He Was Unable to Furnish Bail.
Charles Schroedering is now languishing
in the county Jail on charge of larceny
preferred by Minnie Bray. Miss Minnie
appeared before Alderman Beinhauer on
Tuesday and charged Schroedering with
taking her sack. According to her story,
she said that she was at dance on the
Southside on Easter Monday evening and
turned over her outer garment to the care Of
Schroedering, and when the time to go
home arrived neither he nor the sack were
visible.
Schroedering was arrested by Constable
Langenbacher, and, being unable to furnish
bail, was consigned to jail for hearing.
Yesterday the young lady called on Alder
man Beinhauer and stated that her property
had been returned to her by the committee
in charge of the dance and wanted to with
draw the charge. When informed that
Schroedering had been sent to Jail, she ex-
pressed her sorrow for having caused him
SO much trouble and wanted to know how
much it would cost to settle the case. The
article in question was returned by person
who had taken it in mistake, and the young
lady was probably trife hasty in making
the charge against Schroedering. He will
be released to-day.
