THE BOUNTY QUESTION.

Mr.. S. H. Hardin, a stockman of
Sheridan county, makes some sensible
suggestions in a letter to the Sheridan
Post Mr.. Hardin takes the ground
that the wolf bounty should be paid by
a special tax to be levied upon the
stock interests. He says:
There is hardly any subject OF more
vital importance to the i've stock in
terests of the stock growing states in
the west than the destruction of live
stock by wolves. The obstruction of SO
many animals daily by these beasts
still goes on and is growing worse
every year despite the efforts on the
part of stock growers to poison and
otherwise destroy them. The bounty
laws are insufficient and fail in reaching
a remedy. This condition of affairs ap-
plies to adjoining states, who, with us,
are suffering a loss which If accurately
ascertained would be astounding to
the people generally and give rise to
the question why this evil has so many
years been tolerated and remedial meas
ures not adopted. The difficulty has
been THAT while certain bounty avs
states such laws have o provided a
bounty that would exterminate,, besides
1t is absolutely necessary that a law
alike in each state interested should
be enacted * that a uniform bounty
would exist. 1t is plain with an ex-
terminating bounty and what is meant
by this, is a large enough bounty that
will cause men to hunt beasts at
such profits as would simply extermin-
ate them The arrangement of such a
bounty as applied to sexes and kinds
would be simple. l / believe the passage
of such bounty laws can be accomplish
ed in this and adjoining states and l al
80 believe, If constitutional, a tax
necessary to meet such a bounty can
be rased by levy upon live stock alone
and further that such a tax would be
most cheerfully met by the owners Of
live stock. Some idea may be had of
Of the extent of losses from wolves, say
in Sheridan county, by estimating that
ten head of live stock are killed daily
or nightly by wolves throughout this
county. Estimate the value Of the ami
mails killed at 500 per head, you nave a
loss OF 5000 per day for 365 days,
amounting to s7S 5000 per year, and I
feel sure this is one4half TOO low on the
number daily killed, also as to their
value.
This condition Of affairs or worse
exists in all the states that should be
invited to join i'm establishing a uni
form bounty Of determination, and l
see no reason why such states should
not Join in the matter. I would sug-
geet that a working committee in each
state with one central committee for
the whole should be organized immed-
lately to properly place the matter be-
fore the legislatures about TO convene,
and to gather facts from all sections
as to the extent of losses inflicted by
wolves in order to tabulate and furnish
facts and figures for a more complete
understanding of the members of the
legislatures.
ION THE passage of laws by the sew
eral states interested fixing such
bounties as referred to, the general
government could be called pom to do
likewise on its several Indian reserva-
lions, thus completely covering all the
4erritory effected and should render a
eolrtion of this all-important question"

PERMANENT CURE.
Does Your Child Need IT.

There are thousands of children
who wet the bed almost nightly.
Sometimes they are scolded and some
times they are whipped, but the bed
wetting goes on just the same. You
think they are lazy and won't get up
but this is not the case once in
l 900 times. No child likes a wet
berth to lie in. They can't help it..
Their kidneys are weak and should be
doctored. You are doing great
wrong by negleeting your child. We
have the remedy that cures this. 1t
has been used here in Springfield by
Mrs. w. j. Guymore on Master Pert.
She saws: The child has had weak
kidneys since his birth. We have
tried to have him cured, but never
found anything that would do it. 1t
was sure case each night until we
bought Morrow's Kid-ne-oids for him.
Since using them he has been cured
entirely, which is great blessing for
both him and me. l can recommend
them to every mother in the land.

MANGRovE OPENS ON THE DoNs.
And Immediately Ensues IA Very Hot Time
in That Old Bay.

At 10:45 a. m. she got up her port gun
at the Herman Cortes. The shot fell
short. Instantly the whole shore line
burst into flame. both gunboats and the
field pieces pouring in a heavy fire upon
the American vessel. Every shot of
this Volley struck the water ahead OF
the Mangrove, which continued pump
ing away at her port sjX-pounder. She
concentrated her fire on the fiernan
Cortes, and the next five or six shots
fell on the Spaniard's deck between the
bow gun and amidships. scattering u
body of men. For awhile no Spanish
shot struck near. but soon the Span
iards got the Mangrove's range and a
veritable avalanche of shot and shell
was hurled at her. 1t was nothing less
than a miracle that her loss of life was
not heavy.
Shells from the guns of the Herman
Cortes dropped within twenty feet of
the tug, several bursting and the frag-
ments chipping bits off her hull. Others
went whiZzing through her shrouds,
and Mauser bullets peppered the sur
rounding waters like a summer shower.
In the very midst of all this. and while
the Mangrove was swinging cautiously
around to bring her starboard gun into
play the watch shouted flag of truce"
and sure enough not only one, hut three
white flags could be seen-one flying
from the small gunboat and two from
the government houses on shore.
The MangTove acknowledged the sig
nal, and presently small boat came
out with Spanish officer, who clam
bered aboard the Mangrove and an
nounced:
Peace is proclaimed. and 1 have in
structions for your commanding officer
from the military commander of this
district"
He added that during the engagement
the Spanish authorities in Caibarien
had wired the military commander OF
the district that the American ships
were bombarding the port and that i'm
mediate response had been received in
forming them that peace had been re-
stored and the firing should cease.
The fight had lasted an hour and ten
minutes. Not a man was hit on the
Mangrove. and the Spaniards said they
had no casualties.
