home in the Center on Wednesday Of Iaat
week, August 3. She had not enjoyed
very good health for some time past, but
had pluckily kept about, always having
q cheerful word for those she met. A
few days before her death she was strick-
en- down with heart trouble and gradual
lY failed, until the end came. She was
"a years old last November. The funer-
al service was held from the Methodist

ard was very largely attended. Rev Mr.
| Holmes conducted the service, assisted
| by quartet composed of Miss Mae o.

| She was laid st rest In the family plot in
| the Stepney cemetery, the pail bearers
being Megsrs Stephen Hayes, Burr Haw-

Glover Brakeman and L. V. Slade. Two
sor survive her, Frederick II. Lyon of
Bethel, and George q, Lyon, who lived
with his mother. Mrs Lyon was esteem
ed throughout the village for her many
excellent traits Of character. She was
a welcomed guest in ia homes, where
she would frequently drop in informally
to pass the time Of day with cheerful
word. On account of her uniform good
cheer and kindness, the village feels
it has sustained personal loss in her
demise, and the remark falls from many
| lips that no one will be missed more
from the village life than Mrs Lyon

How to Poison wolves.

Laramie Boomerang: John Edwin. a
ranchman and small stock owner of the
Sweetwater country. reports the poi
sOning a few nights since by what is
known as the bored block" system, Of
five big gray wolves and II coyotes.
The system of range wolf poisoning
by the bored block method consists in
boring shallow holes in wooden blocks
with an inch auger. the filling of these
holes with strychnine impregnated
tallOw, the dragging of the carcass of a
freshly killed calf, antelope or deer
along range wolf trails and the distrib-
uting of the poisoned blocks on the
blOOd-scented trail thus made.
The wolves follow this trail, and. find
ing the blocks, lick therefrom the poi
soned tallOw. and promptly pass over
the range to the happy hunting grounds
located in the unreturnable beyond.
A dead gray wolf is now worth to the
hunter. with the local and state bOun-
ties. and the value of the pelt itself,

THE FRUIT PROHIBITION.
Cablegram Sent to Minister White
For Further Details.

Washington. Feb. ga brief cable
gram from Ambassador White at Ber-
lin that came to the department Of
state last evening, conveyed the only
Official Information so far received as
to the decree of exclusion of American
fruit from Prussia. This cablegram
was so meagre that a request has been
sent to Mr.. White for further details.
While it is not positively known, it is
supposed that the decree applies only
TO Prussia, and not to all Germany, a
considerable limitation. Whether or
not it also applies to Canadian fruit,
is matter of speculation.
During the afternoon further advices
were received from Ambassador White
as to the nature of the decree. 1t
would seem that the full details are not
yet obtaihable in Berlin, but it is ex-
pected that the ambassador will cable
the entire decree as soon as he can OBJ
tain possession of it. The decree is
said to be entirely without precedent,
and discourteous toward the Ameri-
can ambassador at Berlin to make the
decree and put il into effect without
the slightest warning to him. In the
second place. by making the decree
take effect at once and stopping all
fruit in transit, a great injustice is done
to shippers who thus, without warning,
are made TO lose heavily on their CAPT.
tai invested in the fruit. Third, the de-
cree is condemned in that it makes no
provision for the admission of fruit of
absolute purity; permits no demonstra-
ton OF origin or healthful condition.
and in fact, condemns all fruit, good
or bad, alike. These considerations are
to be strongly urged upon the German
government as reasons why it should
either revoke or modify the decree on
the lines indicated before any more
radical action is taken.
