HOLD A NET FOR A BEAR.
Bfu1n Makes 1t Lively for a Couple
Of fIn,fn.nafn Hrrko~.

OF Up.tO.Date Hunters.
The following is vouched for by a re-
liable citizen of the locality where the
event occurred, near Disco, 10 miles
from Black River Falls, Wis, SAYS the
Chicago Chronicle. The farmers had
been annoyed by wolves and one OF
them found den that he thought
would hold a dozen or more. Four of
them went there with a large fish net,
a long tin tube and a double-barreled
gun. They had heard of soaring ami
mails from their den by putting tube
in the hole and then shouting through
the tube. Two Of them held the net
over the mouth of the den and another
stood ready with the gun, while the
fourth one managed the tube. He gave
fearful screech into funnel fixed in
the end of the tube and after an effort
OF two there was rush and grow1 and
out came a black bear as though pos.
sessed of nine demons.
He plunged into the net and the two
men and the bear had'a merry time.
The man with the gun didn't dare shoot,
tor he could not tell where there was
the most bear and the least of the men
The net broke and let his bearship
through and he made for tall timber
at a marvellous rate, but the net men
looked very discouraged and it will be
cold day when they try it over again
The informant was very reticent
about telling who the men were, but as
he had double limp, his face scratched
and was in the city for a new suit OF
everyday clothes it looked as though
hesknew who helped hold the net

TO Make war on Locusts

Locusts have recently become q de-
structive plague in the Argentine Re-
public, and the bankers and business
men Of Buenos Ayres have determined
to make war upon them, and have raised
#a large sum Of money for that purpose.
Their first practical step was to send
TO the United States for an expert en-
tomologist to look over the field and
plan the campaign. Prof. Bruner, Of
the University Of Nebraska, was chosen
to organize the army of science whichis
to carry on the war, and he has just
sailed for Buenos Ayres preparatory to
going to the front. This issa kind Of
war for which arbit ration will probably
never be suggested as q substitute

rnE tariff bill is now law, and
our country can prepare to make its
own goods and control its own trade
This condition will probably last for
some time, and if the bill meets ex-
pectations it may continue many
years. The people want n rest from
tariff agitation, and if the present
law answers the requirement of a
revenue producing measure, suftici-
emily for the needs of government
and to gradually reduce the public
debt, the tariff as a party issue will
be dead, and the people will frown
down and likewise vote down any
further agitation on the subject.
We look now for prosperity, and if
all vii adopt good business methods
it will surely come.

PIKE,s FINANcIAL coNDI1TON

PIXIES FINANCIAL CONDITION
In the last issue of the Press VT
promised to make a statement OF
interest TO the taxpayers of Pike
This we do to bear out the pro-
position there stated that the rate
of ten mills on the assessed valua-
tion is not sufficient to pay the cur
rent expenses, without compelling
the county to borrow money We
believe the subjoined fairly exhibits
the true state of affairs, and is food
for reflection to the thoughtful. At
some. future time we shall endeavor
to present facts establishing the sec
ond proposition, that the present
valuation is unequally adjusted and
inequitably proportional
An estimate of fixed expenses
averaged so as to show what may
be considered necessary outlays for
each year has been prepared with
care, and itemized. There are some
items in the subjoined statement
which might be reduced, but so far
us we can determine there is but
one over which the commissioners
have direct control to any extent
and that is their own accounts. All
the others appear practically as
fixed charges, and the average has
been taken for two, three or four
years so as TO show fairly the neces-
sary sums required, Repairs to
county buildings includes this years
which might have been
less. By examining the figures and
items the taxpayers will be enabled
to judge whore the expenses might
be curtailed, and draw their own in
