similar to that existing in the case of

HUNTING WITH TURKEYS.
Tame Birds Used to Capture the wild

Ones.
Tame turkeys can be trained to
hunt wild ones" said St. Louisan re-
Gently to Globe-Democrat man. 81
owned one called Dick, down in Polk
county, Tenn, that obtained state
reputation. l was offered one hun
dred dollars for him at one time, but
then thought he was a phenomenal
bird. Since his death, however, 1 have
discovered that the talent for hunting
wild turkeys is not uncommon among
tame ones The call of the wild fowl
differs from that of the domestic one,
but the latter can easily learn the for
mer's calls if the hunter is patient
enough to teach him. The tame tur-
key can be taught SO that he can be
taken into the woods, and will then
send forth the challenge call If
turkey cock is within hearing an an
swering note of defiance is invariably
made. This is replied to, and finally
the wild turkey will come very eau
tiously until he sees the tame one, as
he is a suspicious creature. But when
he sees the turkey his fears are gone,
and he starts at once to do battle. |
Then the trained turkey runs and the |
hunter shoots.
"The advantages of this method of I
hunting are very great. While a
hunter can initiate a turkey call pref
ty closely, there is an accompaniment
made by striking the ground with the
wings which cannot be reproduced,
and without this the game is sus-
picious. The hunting turkey must be
taken in hand when very young and
constantly drilled, but beyond the pa
thence required very little skill need to
exist upon the part of the trainer"

Mr.. William Bond. who has

Seckner Company at the bridge,
was standing upon a section of the
top chord, which had been moved
out on the east sidewalk OF the
old bridge ready to be raised into
position, Tuesday morning. when
he lost his balance and fell over
the. side OF the bridge to the river
bank, a distance of about thirty
feet. He alighted on his feet.

fortunate in escaping without

Failed i'm Several Particulars

The King Bridge Company has
failed to comply with its contract
with the city and county in nu-
merous things, and in every way
taken the advantage. In the first
place it agreed to complete the
bridge by the 18th Of last No.
vember, and it is not yet finished
or will be for some time to come.
1t agreed that the abutment
should be first class masonry, and
the south abutment was built so
badly that the wall has cracked
and pulled apart to such an extent
that it is pronounced unsafe to
swing a bridge upon.
1t represented, but failed to put
in the contract, that the bridge it
would erect would contain I, 200, :
900 pounds Of iron, whereas the
one it is erecting contains only
$500 pounds.
This latter representation was
mainly instrumental in securing
for the company the contract, be-
cause several members Of the
committee who voted to accept
its bid, did so solely upon the
ground that we would get a
heavier and stronger structure
than from their competitors, whose
bids were much lower. But it
turns out that we are to pay a
higher price than any Of the
other companies wanted and
that, too. for much lighter bridge
than any of them proposed to
erect. Yet Mr.. Growing, the
representative of the company,
says his corporation always lives
up to its contracts.

The appointment of Wheeler H

The appointment of Wheeler H.
Peckham to the vacancy on the Su-
preme Bench does not appear to be
any more popular with the Senate
and particularly with the two Sena-
tors from New York, than was that
of Mr.. Hornblower. Mr.. Hill charges
the President with giving all the best
appointments to his personal friends,
regardless of public and party policy,
and declares that as the rejection of
Hornblower was not a sufficient
hint, he proposes to do all in his
power to encompass that of Peck
ham. OF course this lead is followed
by his colleague Mr.. Murphy. While
there is doubtless some truth in what
Mr.. Hill says, it would come with bet
ter grace from some one who was not
himself so notorious a spokesman as
David B. Hill. Mr.. Peckham, who
was formerly Republican, was
chairman of the famous "Anti-Snap-
per" Convention which prevented
New York from giving it's united vote
for Mr.. Hill for President at the last
Democratic National Convention, and
it is natural that the latter should
consider his appointment distasteful;
but having fought his fight in 1892
and lost it, it would be the magnani-
nous thing to acquiesce in the re-
suit and bide his time, rather than
reopen the factional struggle again
at this point, when he can hope to
gain but little.
