The Gopher Pest.

EDITOR TR1BUNE:-I notice by read
ing the TRIBUNE that, many important
bills are being introduced in both hous-
es of the legislative assembly, showing
the members are alive to the best well
fare nf the state. But thus far I no.
tice no bill which relates to the radiance
of the gophers. From year to year the
grain in the agricultural portion of our
state is destroyed at an alarming ex-
tent by these animals. I have known of
many large fields of grain being utterly
ruined by these pests. During the last
ten years many thousands of bushels Of
wheat alone have been destroyed by
them, and seemingly their number is on
the increase.
The method of their destruction is
mainly by poisoning. It is a most OBJ
jectionable system, and it is inadequate
to effect the destruction of the scourge.
This matter, in my opinion, should re-
ceive the best attention of u legisla-
tors, most of them are farmers, and such
laws passed as will effectually extermi-
nate these destructive animals or reduce
their number to a minimum.
Cannot the game warden and his dep
uties render good service to the state by
being required to effect the destruction
of these pests, and thus save thousands
of dollars to the farmers of our state?

over Mestrezat (dem.). but both were
elected, as there are two vacancies IN

court. Mitchell (rep) had s7,4s5 plu-
rality over Reilly (dem.). These ig-
ures would indicate that as result OF
the attack on Barnetts military rec

this city. The proposition to author

Additional Returns Emphasize the
Fusion Victory.

Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. additional re-
turns received only serve to emphasize
the fusion victory in Nebraska at Tues
DAVIS election. The fusion majority
will not be less than 10000. and may
reach $1,000. The republicans make
no effort to explain the causes. though
number of leaders in this city differ
from W. j. Bryan in his statement
that il is a rebuke to the national adj
ministration. They maintain that the
gains are only over last year, when the
fusionists fell far short of their nor
NAL strength. They point out the fact
that former Gov. Holconb, when he
ran for governor the last time, car
ried the state by $1,000. Not enough
figures have yet been received to base
even "A moderately safe estimate on the
congressional election in the Sixth dis
trict, to fill a vacancy, but with the
balance of the state going as II did, II
is altogether improbable that the re-
publicans have overcome fusion ma
iority of over 5000 in that district.
