PASSING OF THE PRAIRIE DOG.
The Graziers Have Declared a War
of determination Against Him.

of determination Against Him.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The Agricultural Experiment Station at
Lincoln, Neb., has just issued a bulletin
which seals the fate of that picturesque
little fellow, the prairie dog, the only OBJ
iect that gives vital interest to the mo-
notonous plains of the Far West. 1t is
always a relief to run past prairie dog
town in the unfortunately DUH expanse of
cactus and sage brush, but his time has
come, and he must speedily become an ex-
tinct animal, and the holes which have
once known him shall know him no more
forever
The Industrial forces of civilization are
leagued against the prairie dog and il ie
his own fault, for, innocent as he looks
he is bad Like Artemus Wards kanga-
roo he Is an "amoosin' little cuss," but
he is destructive. He kills out the grass
and as that part of the country frequent
ed by the prairie dog is almost entirely
used for grazing purposes, his extermina-
ton has been ordered 20 save the land
from his ravages.
The bulletin gives the fatal prescription
in minute detail. First. dissolve three
ounces of strychnine and one-half pound
| OF potassium cyanide in one quart OF
| DOilIis WINTER. linen huSl TWO quarts oil
| molasses and one teaspoonful of oil Of
anise. Stir Then pour the solution over
a bushel of wheat and while mixing il
together sprinkle in four pounds of finely
ground corn meal, which enables the
grains of wheat to carry larger amount
or poison. 1t is tempting menu for
! Cynomys Ludovicianus, but one teaspoon
ful at hole ends the career of the whole
FAMILY, and the proportion given above
VIII dispose of a town of 500 acres, the
number of families to abe acre ranging
from 80 to 100.
The bulletin further says that this year
the poisoning is being done over a large
range of territory, and with gratifying re-
suits, so that il is not improbable in a
snort time the last prairie dog will have
disappeared. The railroad traveller as he
crosses the great plains will miss the
SIGHT of the little fellows who have added
Ire and gayety to the otherwise monoto-
nous scenery. But they should not have
been bad. II is to be regretted that the
learned bulletin was not sufficiently ex-
plicit. 1t does not tell what becomes OF
the prairie dogs boarders, the owl and
the ratuesnake, who. though never SEEM
were once popularity believed to share
with him the comforts of home and to
dwell together in delightful concord. Do
they also partake of the tempting meal
left at the door and pass away with the
proprietor and his family, or do they ex-
pire Of grief as they witness the sad trag-
edy?

The Boxers Black Arts,

ioH EADTeSS.
Some sensational details. showing how
the chief Boxers delude the natives into
the belief that they are "invulnerables. "
have just come 10 hand
As matter of fact 1t seems that thew
make regular business of the black arts
In the Far East, and rent rooms and give
exhibitions of marvellous Gle verness, which
they declare any Chinaman can repeat
himself If he 'only pays trfiing sum
to them, and Joins the secret society Of
the Righteous Hal mony Fists"
The other day spy was smuggled into
one of these demonstrations, and he has
given the following graphic account OF
his experiences on that occasion. Said he {.
when we reached the place the master
Boxer and his followers were on their
knees saying prayers, during which they
threw charms into water which they
drank. They declared that this made them
invulnerable, and then tho commenced
their exhibition. beginning with swallow
ing knives and so on.
Thin man came forward and asked
one Of my friends to give him some blows
on his stomach. lie gave him five blows.
but they did not appear to hurt him at
all. brother Of mine then asked to be
lowed TO try.
THE Boxer made no objection. where
upon my brother, who Is a very muscular
man. gave him two blows which very
much upset him; he could not stand a
third blow.
Another man got a chopper aud began
striking his stomach with Il. He, how
ever, took care only TO strike the soft
part Of his stomach, aud he did himself
no harm IT was just like striking an in
dia rubber ball.
Then the men wes foolish enough to
ask some one t. chop him on the arm,
saying that 1t would do him no injury
lie was chopped on the arm with the
result hat his arm was nearly cut in
two
Besides this, hey allowed any one TO
strike thtm with a bundle Of iron bars,
When struck with the bundle they cannot
b. hurt much. but one out Of our party
asked TO be allowed to str Ike a Boxer
with a single bar. He got permission and
gave the Boxer blow which almost dis
abled him"
