Working for Mckinley and
Protection.

George W. Monteith. Populist and un.
fused candidate for Congress from the
First District, declares that he will remain
in the field for principle and will make
the best fight which his slender means
will allow him to do.
All kinds of pressure have been brought
to bear to induce him to resign. The
Populists and Democrats of the district
are by no means harmonious. The other
day at a convention held at Healdsburg
the farmers and mechanics were tumbled
around very promiscuously. The conven-
ton had been stuffed with few Demo
Gratis from Santa Rosa of the Geary fac
ton, and they at once proceeded to teach
the agricultural element some lessons in
parliamentary law that are not to be found
in Cushing or Roberts.
Resolutions were introduced by the
Democrats and put to the vote without
the noes being called. The Populists were
iobbed most numerically and in the
coarsest manner. The meeting broke W
in row in which Editor Ditmar of The
Populist paper in Redding came out con-
siderably the worse for wear.

The Mahoney-Kelly-Spea aggregation have
chosen DR.. j. E. Antiques as one OF their dele
gates to their would-be municipal convention
from the Forty-fourth Assembly District DIR.
j. L. Antiques has this moment requested me
to inform you that he never authorized any
person to use his name as delegate or for any
other purpose. aud that he emphatically de-
clines the questionable honor thrust upon him
and refuses to have anything whatever to do
with the above peculiar combination of poll
ticians Most respec fully yours,

About score of persons who were de-
clared elected at those so-called primaries
have declared that their names were used
without their knowledge or consent; that
they do not care to associate with the

they consider IT, at an unwarrantable lib

to make, by its language, a conven-

thing independent of conventions OF

party has no more to do in the eyes of the

A litter of puppies is at the clerks Of
fee about three days old. They are
very cute little animals, ali marked alike.
They know just enough to scramble over
each other, apparently seeking some
thing which their eyes, that have not
emerged from the closed lids, forbid
them attaining. They are kept in q
large pasteboard box which Is placed
over the radiator to give warmth. The
clerk informed reporter that they were
Australian dogs, and had been left by a
party who took the train and conse-
quen.ly could not care for them. The
mother had died. OF their characteris-
tics he stated they were medium in size

tenderly by the clerk, who feeds them

Tramp.s BIun Dldn,t work.

A burly-appearing tramp appeared at
the residence of Mrs. Verne Koontz this
morning and, Mrs. NJ. D. L. French
coming to the door, he asked for some-
thing to eat in an insolent tone. She is
one of those kind of women who won't t
stand bluff and she refused point
blank. He then demanded some food,
and was met with an equally deter
mined front not to give it to him. He
then said he would go away, but would
come back ''heeled" and she would be
glad to give him something. She said
she would be heeled too. She sent for
the marshal, but there was little
trouble in finding him, and he did not
appear soon enough to make the arrest.
In the meantime the fellow had hung
around the block and came back twice
afterward, renewing his demands. Mrs.
French maintained her position at the
door until he finally went away and was
lost to sight.

Squirrels KIlled By the thousands. !

Squirrels do more damage in Wasco
county annually than frosts or cold
weather. A feasible plan of Kidding the
country of them would be gladly well
coined. In this connection the Spokes-
man-Review of Tuesday said:
Fourteen thousand, five hundred and
twenty squirrel tails were received yes
terday at the offices of the Spokane
board of county commissioners. Ofthis
number John L. Mullinix, of Graves
precinct, brought in 1854, all having
been killed with poison.
Allen Gore, of Graves precinct, pre-
sented 1884, and told an interesting
story of his campaign. He started after
"varmints'' in dead earnest with strych-
nine aud Marlin rife, capturing this
entire army in eleven days. He ex-
pended So for ammunition and poison
and in one day destroyed 1920. For the
IL days he cleared over 81 day and had
all sorts of sport.
With one ounce of strychnine he got
about l 900 squirrels tails, besides hav-
ing the satisfaction of knowing that he
had killed great many more of the de-
structiye pests.
His plan was to mix an ounce of
strychnine with coffee cupful of hot
syrup. Having moistened a 1o-pound
bucketful of wheat with water, until the
substance was soft, he poured the
poisoned syrup over it and thoroughly
stirred the whole mass. By adding a
handful of -four, just enough to coat it
nicely, he made an enticing and pa'At-
able, as well as effective dose.
The Spokane commissioners are con-
vinced that the one-cent bounty plan is
the most successful remedy for the
squirrel pest that has ever been adopted
in that county.

Driver and Glenn.

Sheriff Driver is frequently taken for
Mr.. Glenn by parties who imperfectly
know them, and the first chance he
found to benefit by the mistake was in
Portland the other day when he went to
arrest VIM. Landis and Ida Walters on
a charge of adultery. Knocking at the
door of the house Mrs. Walters opened
it and promptly addressed him, sHow
do you DO, Mr.. Glenn" 1t was very
bright as well as very sudden thought
which occurred to Mr.. Driver to permit
the delusion to continue. He asked
where Mr.. Landis was, and when told
he was away, told Mrs. Walters to tell
him when he came home that Mr..
Glenn wanted to see him at the
Perkins for the purpose of hiring cook
on the Regulator. It was not long be-
fore Landis appeared at the room in the
hotel, but he knowing both Glenn and
Driver very well, appeared crestfallen to
see the latter gentlemen instead of the
one he sought. Landis was immedi-
ately arrested and locked up, and the

An Error About Cats.

An error about cats, and atruly vulgar
one, is that they lie on young children's
breasts and suck their breath or suffo-
cate them. Cats like to lie on the
breast of the person they love, and are
apt to show their happiness by now and
then lifting their heads for kiss or
gently touching the face or neck above
them with their paw; this sort of pat
ting or stroking beloved cheek or
throat is one of the more human habits
which dogs have not. Seeing one of our
cats lying on her masters chest when he
was asleep on the sofa, understood how
the notion lad taken root; then, too.
