employ ''wolfers" or cowboys whose sole
duty it is to hunt and trap wolves and

Last week the Thorns killed 10 wolves
and coyotes and brought the hides, a
good wagon load, to town to secure the
bounty. Nearly all of the wolves are
killed by poison put out in the carcasses
of dead cattle but a number are track

after being smoked almost to suffoca-

RICH WOMEN SHOPLIFTERS
Men at SandusSy, o., Caught
Taking Goods From Stores.

Sandusky. O.. May 2O.-A sensation of
unusual magnitude was created here to-
day by the arrest of Mrs Jay Smith and
Mrs. Charles Lenzler for shoplifting.
The women were arrested with several
hundred dollars worth of rich silks and
laces in their possession. Their arrest
resulted directly for the theft of three
pairs of fine shoes from Giedman &
Homegardner'S store. They purchased
one pair and, it is said, stole the others.
They then proceeded to Harris & Schu-
macher'S dry goods house, where, it is
charged, they stole a bolt of silk. The
shoe dealers discovered their loss in the
when accused, denied the charge. A
detective was called and they were ia
ken to the police station and searched
and the missing goods were found upon
them. In the carriage in which they
came to the city were found silks, laces,
gloves, and hosiery.
The women, when confronted with the
evidence of their guilt, broke down and
confessed that for months they had
been robbing merchants and that the
goods were Secreted in Mrs Smiths
house. A search was made of the house
and thousands of dollars worth of silks
Iaces, ribbons, and gloves were found.
The women are wives of two of the
wealthiest and best known stock raisers
in this section and are members of two
of the oldest and most highly respected
families in northwest Ohio. The goods
have nearly all been identified by local
merchants. The wOmen's husbands had
a conference with the merchants last
night and agreed to pay for all the
goods and pleaded that their wives be
not prosecuted. The women were re-
favor prosecuting them and others want
to let the matter drop.

STATUE Ole BULL.
Norwegians Present Tt to the City of
Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 2o.-A per-
feet day marked the unwilling of the
life-size bronze statue of Ole Bull at
Loring park this afternoon. 1t was a
triumphant elimination of an effort
which goes back for months to honor
the memory of that great musician, and
no more fitting day could have been
chosen for the event, which has aroused
the interest of NOrWegianS the country
over, and all friends OF the country thaI
gave Bull to the world, than the ami
Versary of NOrway'S independence. No
one loved freedom more than ole Bull
and the spirit of independence was up
permOst in the minds and hearts of the
%, 900 people who gathered on the green
swards at LOring park and stood with
uncovered heads while Miss Regnhild
Sorenson, one of the most beautiful
representatives of the Scandinavian
people in the northwest, drew the veil
from the grand statue, the last and
browning work of the famous sculptor,
Jacob Fjelde.
An ole Bull festival march had been
composed by Prof. E. Guile of Minneap-
oils, and its rendition by Danz's Orches-
ira marked the opening of the ceremon-
les.
John W. Arctander, president of the
Ole Bull Monument association and one
who has done more than any other man
to make tOday's festival possible, had
charge of the afternoon programme and
made a Is minute speech, reviewing the
work of the committee which raised the
money necessary to erect the statue.
As the covering was taken from the
beautiful work Alexander Bull, son of
the great musician who was being hon
ored, played The Chalet Girls Sun
day. accompanied by the orchestra
with muted instruments. Mr.. Bull used
his fathers favorite violin.
Mr.. Arctander then formally present
ed the statue to Mayor Pratt, who re-
ceived it on behalf of the city and then
turned it over to the park commission
ers. w. W. FOlweH, president of the
latter body, made an appropriate re-
Spouse and the afternoon programme
concluded with another violin solo by
Alexander Bull In Lonely Hours, .
with q chorus of Scandinavian singers.

KNEIPPISTS IN THE GRASS
They Were Out Early for the First
Trip of the Season.

New York, May Offspring never
comes to the Kneippists until the grass
is wet with the dew of the night and
the air of the morning is soft and warm
to permit barefoot walking.
Yesterday was the day of days on the
Kneipp calendar. The Kneipp season
opened, so to speak, and the north
meadows of Central park made the
meeting ground. 1t was just a. m
when the gray-cOated policeman along
the park wall near Ninety-siXth street
and Fifth avenue saw men and wo-
men removing their shoes in prepara-
ton for a renewal of relations with
mother nature.
There are twenty-five members, in
Guiding five women. in the reOrganized
Kneipp society, and all were out for
the first morning walk. With here and
there an exception they are Germans,
who followed Father Kneipp's natural
cures in the old country. One of those
most enthusiastic was a woman Is
years old. Another woman was there
with two daughters. The men, as a
rule, were we'll along in years.
The conditions were not of the best
The Kneippists did not know that
thousands of children had been there
the day before in May parties. They
were not prepared for the bits of glass
and crockery that had been left from
hampers.

THOSE PRETTY ORCHARDS

All Pestered With Canker Worms

A subscriber of the Journal, NJ. Pol
experience with canker worms.
Il have an orchard of 800 apple trees
and as the canker worm is so destruc-
tive to orchards and many are spray
ing their trees in order to kill the worms
I wish to give my experience of the last
two weeks and the discovery I made
concerning the canker worm.
4 have always made it a point to go
through my orchard every spring and
look for caterpillar webs and destroy
them. I went into the orchard two
weeks ago just after the blossoms had
fallen, for that purpose. After going
through a part of the orchard discov-
cred a great cluster of canker worms
on the body of a tree between the
branches and the ground. I touched
them with a stick and they fell to the
ground where 1 trampled them under
foot.
Il then concluded to look a little
farther and went back over the same
ground I had passed over and to my
surprise found on many of the trees
great punches Of the canker worms
clustered together and inVaria bly, on
the south side of the tree between the
branches and the ground. The color of
the worms is about the same as the
bark of the tree and are very hard to
see except on close inspection. I have
spent two hours day for five or six
days in going through my orchard and
l feel safe in saying that a person will
look in vain for canker worms in my
orchard"

a grave and most lamentable error. The
United States has no designs upon Cuba
and no designs against the sovereignty
of SPAIN
Mr. Foraker read only the following
extract from Mr.. DeLOme's reply, which
was dated June 4, 1896:
In brief, there is no effectual way to
pacify Cuba, unless it begins with the
actual submission of the armed rebels
to the mother country
Other points from Mr.DeLome's letter
are:
Notwithstanding this. the govern
ment of the United States could, by use
of proper means contribute largely to
the pacificatiOn of the island.
THE government of His Majesty is
already very grateful to that of the
United States for its intention to prose-
cute the unlawful expeditions to Cuba
of some of its citizens with more vigor
than in the past, after making a judic
ial investigation as to the adequacy of
its laws when honestly enforced. Still,
the high moral sense of the government
of Washington Will undoubtedly Sug-
gest to it other more effectual means of
preventing henceforth what is now the
struggle which is going on SO near its
frontiers and which is proving so in
furious to its industry and commerce,
and act justly depIored by your exceIen-
cy, being prolonged SO excessively by
the powerful assistance which the re
bellion finds in the territory of this
great republic, against the wishes of
all those who love order and law.
THE constant violation of interna-
tiOnal law in its territory is especially
manifest on the part Of Cuban emf
grants who care nothing for the losses
suffered in the meanwhile by the citi-
ZenS OF the United States and of Spain
through the prOlongatiOn of the war.
The Spanish government, on its part
has done much and will do more every
day. in order to achieve such a desira-
Bile end, by endeaVoring to correct the
mistakes of public opinion in the United
States and by exposing the plots and
calumnies of its TebelliOus subjects.
IF, with that object in view further
Information should be desired in addi-
ton to that already held by the govern
ment United States which shows itself
SO hopeful that the justice of Spain be
recognized by all, the government of
His Majesty will take the greatest
pleasure in supplying it with the most
accurate details.
when the government of the United
States shall once be convinced of our
being in the right and that honest con
VicttOn shall in some manner be made
public, but little more will be required
in order that all those in Cuba who are
not merely striving to accomplish the
total ruin of the beautiful country in
which they were born, being then hope
less of outside help and pOwerless by
themselves, will lay down their arms
Until that happy state of things has
been attained, Spain will, in the Just
defence of her rights, her duty and
honor, continue the efforts for an early
victory which she is now exerting re
