squirrels Killed by Giant Powder
Two bids for the supply Of M ton OF
giant powder for the destruction OF
squirrels have been received by the
Spokane County Commissioners The
Commissioners ere resolved to give the
powder remedy q fair trial this season,
in lieu Of strychnine, issuing two
pounds to each quarter section In the
districts infested by the pests. Its use
Is said to be entirely unattended with
danger. The farmer cuts the sticks
into sections of half an inch or mora In
length. One Of these small pieces Is
placed In a paper cone, which is dipped
In kerosene, lighted, and thrust into a
hole leading to q squirrel den. That
hole and all the others that can be
found in the vicinity are sealed up with
sod or earth, and the whole colony of
squirrels, old and young, are asphyx-
ated By the fumes.

Curb tn, Splitting Hog.

An indignant Philadelphia physician,
offended by the aggressions, in street
cars and other public places, of that
peculiar American growth, the splitting
bipedal hog, writes an open letter to
one of the newspapers in that city
which is equally as applicable to Scran-
ton. 1.-The trouble is" he truly declares,
that in making rules corporations
omit to prescribe penalties or to en-
force them or to insist upon their Of
ficers enforcing them. What is the use
of having placard In a car prohibiting
habit that no self-respecting or re-
fined person would think of doing with
out giving the employees powers to en-
force it? A public conveyance is the
only place where people are absolutely
at the mercy and discretion of every
other person, and the rules governing
their conduct ought to be absolute and
instantly and absolutely enforced. To
be quietly and firmly enjoined to va
cate car would do more in the way of
an object lesson to convince very many
people that the highest kind of liberty
is that which includes consideration
OF other peoples convenience and self
respect that a dozen moral lectures on
the subject. If man eXpectorates
once, as some may do, through thought
lessness, let the conductor reprimand
him quietly but firmly. If the offense is
repeated or If the passenger is often
sive, stop the car and request the pas
senger to step off. If he is still Of
fensive and makes scene let there be
such u penalty inflicted as will fully
satisfy the slight to the officer of the
company and the offended dignity of
the passengers" To all of which, a
much abused public is prepared to ac-
cord its enthusiastic consent. There is
too much of the splitter abroad.
