TEN THOUSAND DEAD WOLVES.
Heavy Drain on North Dakota's
Treasury Caused by Bounty Law.


The last legislature appropriated sl2.-
600 to carry out the provisions OF a wolf
bounty law that gave three dollars for
each wolf slain in any part OF North Da-
kota. and expected the money TO last
through full biennial period till the
next session. Now il has been shown
tina, the appropriation for the two years
will be oyerdrawn by at least $1,000 in
the first few months of the first season.
At least 10000 wolves of the large gray
variety have been killed by hunters
and trappers who have made business
Of the matter this season.
The wolf bounty law was passed al
the. earnest request of stockmen in all
parts Of the state, whose losses from the
ravages of the gray wolves have been
exceptionally large and were continual
ly increasing. The majority Of the Ger
tificates come from the western part of
the state, and the next greatest number
from the northern tier of counties. Bill
lings county, one Of the largest stock
counties Of the state, viii have thou
sand or more certificates. Billings also
pays a county bounty, which is draw
ing heavily on her resources. There are
a thousand certificates out in Williams
county. andone man has nearly 300. He
is said TO be the champion wolf hunter
of the state.
The favorite method Of killing wolves
Is with dogs. Poisoning was the former
method. Shooting is a surer method.
but II is difficult to get close enough TO
n wolftosecure a good shot. With dogs.
wolf seen is as good as captured If the
dogs are good. and many Of them are
being bred for that purpose.

When the plant was introduced, about
1910, 1t was only the small daisy-like

as novelty. The taste for growing
and showing it began early. and before
1850 there were many chrysanthemum
societies in existence. among them the
Stoke Ncwington. which formed the
nucleus OF the National society. Yet it
was not until 1859. when the plants suf-
fered severely from early frosts. that
there was any idea of growing them
under glass. The japanese variety was
noticed in 1864 as novelty, Every curl

The gorgeously colored mop-like
blooms now exhibited every autumn

PICKANINNY TO THE GOOD
Police Have n Mysterious Case on
Hand Just Now with No SOlu-
tion in Sight.

The police have on their hands a diminu-
tive negro boy about 10 years old named
George Frazer and they do not know what
to do with him. The lad first made his
appearance In Omaha September 13. He had
run away from his home in Lexington, KY,
to come here to see the exposition. He
was picked up by the police shortly after his
arrival and after being kept in the city Jail
for several days mysteriously disappeared
No one seemed to know where he had gone
or how he had gotten away from the station
Yesterday one Of the jailors at the county
Frazer by the hand. The jailer explained
that the boy had been locked up in a cell
since September 16. How he got there no
one seemed to know and the jailer could
not throw any light on the matter. He
explained that no communication had been
received at any time for the boy. The boy
had never had hearing before Judge Cor
don, consequently he had not been bound
over from the police court The only ex-
PLANTATION advanced was that he must have
gotten mixed up at the police station with a
shipment of prisoners bound for the county
jail and was taken along with them.
The jailer refuses to longer keep him with
out a commitment The police will now
have to dispose OF him in some manner He
is a wonderfully bright aittle fellow and
can sing and dance in a manner that would
make the average minstrel envious.
