''Hunting wild marsh hogs is an ex-
citing but somewhat dangerous pastime
in southern Texas, - said c.. L. FieIden
Of that state. I'm the swampy lands
along the gulf these wild hogs have
their ha bitat, and to hunt them it is
best to have several companions and
numerous dogs that understand the
ways Of the ferocious porkers. The dog
will find the game for you, bay it and
hold it in check until you can take a
shot or two. Then everything depends
on your aim. IF you succeed in pierre
ing a vital part with your Winchester
bullet, all is over except dragging the
carcass to some convenient point where
it can be handled.
But dangerous is your position if
your aim is a trife defective and your
shot only wounds the animal Some
good and true shooting must be done
instanter then by you and your com
rades, or else an Infatuated boar will be
rending you with his tusks. I have seen
more than one Of these old bears shot
through the body 20 Or more times and
in that condition fight man and dog
until several balls had been fired into
his head.
''In the marshes there is 10 possible
way Of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter can
make no Roadway through the tall,
rank grass and Doggy soil, and there
are no trees that offer him refuge. For
these reasons he is compelled to kill his
game when once it is flushed or become
himself victim. In the fall Of the year
these marsh hogs are fat, and their flesh
is of a very pleasing favor. Wash

Gently ''The balmy climate and rich
soil CT these islands, together with the
careful methods Of cultivation, have
combined to produce an onion that, for
size and favor, is peerless. The vege-
table will average from one-half pound
to one pound and half in weight. It
is always sound, juicy and crisp, and
these good qualities are SO well appre-
ciated by Americans that about 300,-
600 crates of the onions are annually
shipped to the United States.
preparations to supply the markets
Of this country every spring with the
vegetable are made early in January,
and when gathered in March and April
the onions are carefully selected and
packed in crates, weighing, when filed,
100 pounds The onions are then taken
to the general receiving wharf, where
they are subjected to a rigid inspection
by government officers. If the quality
Of the produce is not good and any I'M
perfect or decayed specimens are found,
the farmer is made to pick the goods
over and replace them. The onions are
then passed by the inspector, and when
the crates have been closed and marked
by the shipper they are loaded on board
a steamship, which, after a voyage Of
48 hours, lands them, principally in
New York. Here consignments Of from
1900 to 5000 crates, each containing
$50 onions, are received se1niweekIy.
The vegetable is usually sold by the
weight and is worth about cents per
pound retail. w Washington Star.

PASSING OF THE NIGHTCAP.
CIR Catarrhal Troubles Are Largely
Due to Its Abandonment.


Due to Its Abandonment.
eff the American people would only
put on nightcaps when they go to bed,
there would not be near SO many cases
of catarrhal trouble as there are now,
said a Chicago physician. He contln-
ued: cit is we'll known that as a ma
ton the percentage of catarrhal COM
plants is greater among US than in any
other nation in the world and that there
are more cases among men than among
women. The reason for this dispropOr-
ton is the absence of nightcaps and the
habit of smoking in the open air. Wo-
men, if they smoke at ALL do not do SO
in the open air, and if they do not wear
nightcaps they are in measure pro-
tected by their heavier heads Of hair.
Men, on the contrary, habitually wear
their hair close cut, are careless about
the temperature Of the rooms in which
they sleep, and while all the rest of the
body is carefully protected the head
may be exposed all night to zero tenn
perature and that at the very time
when nature is at its lowest ebE and
can do the least to protect itself Ii we

children and induce them to keep up
the habit in later years, within gen.

paratively rare disease in the United

"Englishmen and the people Of the
continent know an American by two
things-his liberality with money and
his habit of hawking and splitting.
They cannot understand the latter, as
catarrh is an unusual complaint abroad.
But nightcaps are not. They are recog-
! nized part Of the night toilet through
out Europe, and to this is due the free
dom of the people there from distress
! ing complaint.

that this syndicate has put up this

as is shown by the heed gwen to all
suggestions from E. H. Hartman, chair
man of the executive committee of both
the Illinois Central and the Union
Pacific directories. The Milwau-
kee is represented on the Union
Pacific directory by its presi-
dent, Roswell Miller and it j.
said Oh good authority that when the
Illinois Central completes its line from
Omaha to Chicago, which is now under
construction. it will combined with the
Milwaukee to demand from the Union
Pacific a share of the through eastern
business now given to the Northwest
ern, and there is no doubt that this
will be done, and through trains from
the Union Pacific will no longer be
turned over to the Northwestern. It is
said that the Milwaukee would have
made this demand some time ago, but
President Miller thought it best to wait
till he should be joined by the Illinois
Central on the completion Of its new
line to Omaha. All matters of policy

The Hi Henry Minstrels Gave Entire SAT-
isfaction to a Billings Audience.
Hi. Henry's MINISTRIES gave an excel.
lent entertainment at the Billings opera
house Friday evening to a very large
and appreciative audience. In the
early part of the evening the band ren-
dered a concert on the street which was
the finest thing ever heard in Billings
and the west.
The first part at the opera house,
1.-THE American Navy" introduced the
company as the crew of the flagship
Brooklyn, before the harbor of Santi-
ago, and was composed by Hi. Henry.
1t included songs by different members
of the crew, accompanied by a fine
orchestra. The last number in the
first part was the patriotic song, Free
America sung by the whole COM
pany. It was splendidly given, and
the appearance Of Admiral Schley,
Uncle Sam and the Goddess of Liberty
made a very pretty finale.
The second part consisted of some
fine specialties. The 'cornet solo by Hi.
Henry and his military bnad was some
thing grand, and all enjoyed the sue
cessful imitation Of the Scotch bag
pipes; at the request of the audience
this vas repeated several times. Ray
mond Teal and Robert Baker, as 1.-The
Tramp and Black Venus were good.
Dan Altman amused the people with
his new and witty jokes. Morton and
Elliott with the guitar and mouth harp
gave some fine limitations Of different
chimes and showed what wonderful
things could be made by folding and
tearing papers, while the Couture
borthers performed some marvellous and
difficult acrobatic feats. Altogether
this was without doubt one of the most
interesting and pleasing entertainments
of the season. Hi. Henry and his gen.
tlemanly company deserve much praise
for the easy manner in which the per-
Torrance was given.
