ONLY A TOAD.
But He Proves Himself the Friend of tho
Thrifty Farmer.

But He Proves Himself the Friend of tho
Thrifty Farmer.
Many people view with disgust
and loathing this rough, uncouth,
leathery coated little creature, with
his distended stomach and squat,
ungraceful form, yet their aversion
is totally without reason. The toad
is not venomous or harmful, nor
can he be utterly ugly with his sin
gularly clear and brilliant eyes.
An old superstition says, "The toad
has jewel in his head" If he has,
it must be the CLEAN of the jewel
that flashes through his eyes and
lights up his otherwise unattractive
countenance.
However this may be, the toad is
jewel in himself from an economic
point of view. The farmer has no
better friend or ally in his warfare
against injurious insects. The toad
comes forth mostly at night, when
such insects as the cutworm are
abroad. When I am working in the
garden and inadvertently disturb a
toad, I always feel like begging his
pardon, for, however queer it may
seem to some, I like toads. In this
Dakota land they are very abun-
dant, and I notice that insects are
proportionately few.
When following the breaking
pillow, I have often been a reluctant
spectator of the last sad tragedy in
the lives of some of these bene6cent
little CIR atures. They love to bur-
row down in the earth to just about
the depth that the plowshare takes,
and there they are sometimes sliced
in two. On these occasions when
examining the contents of their
stomachs have been surprised at
the quantity they could hold. ]
have also noted the prevalence Of
injurious species of insects, such as
leaf beetles, cutworms, grubs and
their larvae.
Once after victim passed under
the plow I took pains to note the
contents of its stomach, which con-
sisted of 4 large cutworms, 2 bean
beetles, II small leaf beetles, 6small
manure beetles, 3 flies, several lar
vac and about a teaspoonful of the
small aromatic yellow ants. This
was only medium sized toad, and
now just think how many such
meals he had taken in his life; then
think of his millions of relatives
and the meals they had eaten in
their lives. After that remember
that in their pollywog state toads
clear out myriads of larvae from
stagnant water and do much to-
ward lessening the great mosquito
pest, and you may imagine the vast
quantity Of injurious insect material
they must have destroyed.
I have domesticated and colonized
toads in my cellar and garden and
always felt amply repaid by the de-
crease in the number of the insects.
It makes little difference to the toad
whether his meal be Of cabbage
worms, mosquitoes or bean beetles.
Down they go, and as he rubs his
throat with one ''hand" he winks
his off eye and is ready for more

VETERANS AND OFFICE.
Ex,SoIdiers Must Take Civil Service
Examinations.

Washington, April 22.-AII of the ex-
ecutive departments of the government
are receiving large numbers of letters
from ex-soldiers indicating a general
misunderstanding as to their rights to
appointment to Office.
Many of the veterans who are after
office seem to labor under the impress
sion that they can be appointed to pO-
sitiOns in the civil service without the
formality of the examination or reQui-
sition of the civil service commission.
This is largely due to the fact that the
law provides that eX-soldiers within
the civil service who resign or who are
displaced for cause, other than their
own fault. may be reinstated to their
old positions at any time.
The law, however, makes no provision
giving preference to soldiers in enter
ing the government service who have
not been in the civil service before, ex-
cept that officials making acquisitions
on the civil service commission for a
list of eligible appointees may favor the
veterans who happen to be on that list.

IOWA TO MAKE LIQUOR.
The MuIct Law Will Go Into Effect
Prohibitionists Bitter.

Des Moines, Ia, April 22.-The last
doubt of the enactment of a law allow
ing the manufacture of liquor in Iowa
has been removed by the action of the
house concurring in the senate amend
ment to the Mulct law, which allows
manufacture, except that the house
slightly amended one of the senate
amendments so that the aid of the law
cannot be invoked to assist the collec-
tiOnS of SalOOnkeeperS' bills.
AS soon as the bill came up an
amendment was offered by Mr.. Martin
limiting the legalizing of liquor bills
to sales by manufacturers and whole
salers. This was discussed at consider
able length and was adopted by a vote
of 56 to 40. Prohibitionists in support
ing the amendment bitterly assailed
what they called a backward step in
repeating a law that had been in ex-
istence for 40 years, making liquor bills
uncOllectable. All the amendments by
the senate including the manufacture
scheme, with the exception of the Druet
amendment, were then adopted by a
vote of 55 to Al
The amendment by Senator Druet
was next adopted. It allows cities be-
tween $500 and 5000 population to Sc
cure the operation of the Mulct law
upon the written consent of so per cent
of the votes. The bill now returns to
the senate, where the only question will
be on the concurrence in the Martin
amendment in regard to saloonkeepers
bills, and that will undoubtedly be ac-
cepted by a large majority, making the
enactment of the bill absolutely GER
tain.

STOOPS is CAUGHT.
Sheriff Kepley Goes to Chicago to
Bring the Prisoner Here.

About 6 O'clock yesterday evening
Sheriff Kepley received a telegram from
Sergeant Parkhurst of the Chicago po-
lice force informing him that he had
arrested Harry StOOpS the young man
wanted in Topeka for abducting 15-year
old MajOrie Wallace last December.
Sheriff Kepley left for Chicago this af-
ternOOn and expects to return with his
prisoner Sunday Sergeant PaTkhurst,
who is cousin of George W. Parkhurst
of this city will receive $100 reward for
the arrest of Stoops, this amount haV-
ing been posted by Governor Leedy.
Last November StOOps came to this
city with a gang of WOrknen as mana
ger of the Guaranty Roofing company
of Chicago to repair the roofs on several
of the Santa Re shop buildings. He Sc
cured a room on Tyler street. but his
men boarded at the house of James
D. Wallace at the corner of First and
Adams streets, and there StOops fire.
quently met Majorie Wallace, the 15-
year old daughter of the proprietor.
Shortly before he left fer Chicago he
asked the girls parents to allow her to
return with him to Chicago,
saying that he wanted a girl of her age
for a companion for his wife, but they
refused on account of the girls youth.
When he did go to Chicago, MajOrie
Wallace disappeared from home and her
parents at once concluded that she had
accompanied StOOps.
A search was instituted and the girl
was found living on State street in
Chicago under the name of Mrs Pow
ers. The girl was brought home but
refused to say anything about the
wherea bouts of Stoops, whom the Off
GERS were then unable to find. Later.
however. he was arrested, but before
Sheriff Kepley could reach Chicago he
was released on habeas corpus bond
and disappeared.
This occurred in January, and since
that time nothing has been heard of
him up to yesterday afternoon The in
spectOr of the Chicago police returned
the papers for StOOps arrest to Sheriff
Kepley some time ago, but he imme-
diately sent them to Sergeant Park
