VI INDIAN TERRITORY.

Every since the construction of the
M. X. & T, Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Territory
has been on the basis of five cents a

A New Idea In Rat Traps.

A rat and mouse trap which has
been patented in all the countries
throughout the civilized world issuing
patents, the invention of Heinrich
Benseler. Of Beinrode, Germany, is
really an ingenious arrangement, as
the animal never gets a chance even
20 nibble at the bait. and when it once
gets into the trap it is automatically
locked there without possible
chance Of escape. A modified form OF
this bottle-shaped trap, however, is
employed for catching rats and YER
min in the house. The small end Of
the field trap is inserted in the mouse
hole, the tubular passageway forming
Z continuation of the underground
passages. The animal in trying to get
the bait naturally enters the hole and
Is thus induced to entsr the tubular
passage from which 1t cannot escape.
