wildcats and wolves in the vicinity OF
Superior. Joseph Ekes brought four wild
cats in and another man brought three
wolves. They will receive bounty. 1t

there, but all are trapped either in Mara
thon or Clark.
Paul Wagner, aged 45, and his wife
Fredericka aged ga, were found dead in
bed Friday at their residence in Milwau-
kee Asphyxiation by coal gas is thought
to have been the cause of death. Neigh
bors say they have seen nothing of the
Wagners since Monday, when they moved
to their last residence. After careful
examination by the coroner he is of the
opinion that in putting up the stove on
Monday the Wagncrs failed to examine
the chimney, as the pipe was not secure.

found $291 in cash.

tinued it's wild race, dashed over the
tracks and landed in Little Lake Buttes
des Morris fifteen feet below. The horse
was finally rescued and, strange to say,
was not injured. The affair created con-
siderable excitement and a large crowd
gathered at the scene, expecting to see
the horse killed. The water is only three
feet deep at the edge of the lake where the
horse landed.
Following the resignation of Homer T..
Fowler as president and manager of the

coRN-suRNING STATISTICS.
An Official Investigation to Be Made
by Nebraska State Board.

The Nebraska State Board of Trans
portation has been engaged for several
days in collecting figures showing the
number of farmers Of the State who are
now burning corn for fuel. The secre-
taries are also making an estimate of the
quantity Of coal which these corn burners
would use if they could get it in exchange
for the corn. These figures are to be
used in an effort to get reduced rate for
out shipments of corn and in shipments of
coal from the railroads. The secretaries
think they can show to the railroads that
the increased business which will be
brought to their lines will pay them to
make reduction in the rates. As it now
IT, the farmers cannot afford to ship their
;corn, and consequently they have no
moaey with which to buy coal. The re-
suit, SO far as the roads are concerted, Ia
that there L. no hauling Of cam or coal for
the fairness.

Closing Lecture OF DIR. scbmuckcrs series
gu Nature Study.
DR.. Schmucker OF West Chester gave
the last OF his course Of lectures before
the Primary Teachers Association
Monday afternoon. Tho subject was
Fruits Of Plants. !" BY fruit, botanists
mean tho part Of plant that holds the
seed the reproductive part OF plant
Tho seods OF plants are carried in many
different ways. Tbs oak tree drops its
acorns right down beneath it's own
branchos aud foliage. But the old
tree absorbs all the nourishment from
the soil about its roots 50 very few OF
the hundreds of acorns that drop yearly
TO the ground beneath the tree ever
grow to be trees. But by.and-by the
old oak dies and leaves perhaps one
acorn that nnkea more perfect tree
than the une from which it sprung.
Some plants SNAP when touched,
throwing the seed ont forcibly go that
it can become implanted in some spot
where the necessary nourishnent is not
absorbed by others Of its kind. OF these
plants are tho old fashioned lady
shipper, the jewel weed. and hest OF
all the wild touch-me-not. Some seeds
are carried by the wind.
Everyone 10 familiar with the double
winged fruit OF the maple tree. When
this fruit does not mature the two
wings remain fastened together and
act Just as an arrow, 30 that no matter
how the wind blows.. the fruit falls
right at tho foot of the tree whore it
cannot grow. When tho fruit does
mature the wings are separated and
hare whiriing motion as they fall so
that light wind can blow them away
from the territory of the parent tree.
The dandeliou, thistle and wild cot
ton seeda are also carried by the wind.
The seeds are in n soft down that the
wind carries easily. Some seels are
carried by animals, as the Spanish
needle and Burdock tassel. Some
fruits are maids attractive to animals
by the bright colors and pleasant taste.
These tleshy fruits arc so made til at

liberate the seeds. The cocoanut which
is the seed Of its tree. Is enclosed in
