The treasury department has ap- proved a bill prepared by Representa- tive McLachlan providing for an ap- propriation of nearly a million dollars additional for the public building at Los Angeles. The certainty that heavy appropria tions will be made at this ses- sion for public buildings should inspire Delegate Smith to begin a campaign for federal building at Phoenix. Not since the territory was organized has the government contributed a dollar to the erection of any of the terri torial institutions, and as for d fed eral building at the territorial capital, it seems to have been assumed by OUT citizens that it was hopeless to expect an appropriation by congress.

and in addition to that an unepualled equipoise in every emergency. In all my career, in business and in politics, I have never known a man so self-con- tained. He always acted deliberately. and his judgments were always weighed carefully, although there were times when his heart impulses would respond quickly, without apparently the slightest delay. In all those thirty years of close relations, I never saw him in d passion, never heard him ut ter one word of what l would call re sentiment, tinged with bitterness, to- ward a living person. This was again reflected in the story of the assassina- tion told by Mir. Milburn, who said that he could never forget the picture in the expression of his countenance as he glanced toward the dastard as sassin. In his eyes read the words as plain as language could express it, "Why should you do this?" And then when the assassin was hurled to the ground, when the fury and indignation of the people had begun to assert it. self, he said with almost saintly com passion:
 Don't let them hurt him.

Oklahoma's campaign for statehood has had injected into it a feminine
 element, and the situ- SOME ation is not improved LADIES AND thereby. With the ex- OKLAHOMA. ception of a small min
 ority, the people of that territory are in favor of having Oklahoma and the Indian territory ad- mitted as one state. and to this propo- sition the whites in the latter terri tory are generally favorable. But here comes the Women's Christian Temperance Union, with an objection. An element in that organization has formulated a protest against giving statehood rights to the Indian terri tory, for the reason that whereas, now the sale of intoxicating liquors within the territory is prohibited Qn theory) by a national law, prohibition would not prevail in the proposed state of Oklahoma. Of course, it counts for nothing with these dear, eminently practical ladies that prohibition in the Indian territory is a condition ' of liquors of the vilest sort from wood alcohol to red ink are vended by a fiourishing contingent of 'boot-leg- gers" and that by keeping the terri tory under a barbaric government civilization and progress are barred. Principle is everything with the average enthusiast on the subject of
  accord with the principle. so much the worse for the facts. This absurd sit uation has its serious side, in that the W. C. T. T.. is a terror to many con gressmen who stand in fear of calling down the vengeance of the organiza- tion. Already there have been echoes from the flank movement started by the ladies' in comments here and there from weak-kneed congressman, some of whom are quoted as saying that perhaps. since the situation is so mixed, it is just as well to postpone action until we know what is best for the two territories sit is always so easy to postpone the assumption of a responsibility not manifestly imper ative.
 Of course, if the back-fire thus started against the admission of Okla homa is permitted to reach large pro portions, the prospects for the three territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma will be lessened, for it is quite certain that if Oklahoma fails of admission there will be little chance for this territory at the present ses- sion. However, it is probable that the w. C. T. U. movement will develop more noise than strength, for after all, there are many members of the order who do not go wild over every new fad, and who deprecate the cheap ening tactics of those members who are constantly on the hunt for some means of becoming notorious.

NEW WAY TO KILL MUsKRATs.
Maine Man Discards OId-Fashioned
Traps for Beer Bottles Filled
with Fresh Lime.

In March and April. just before tn.
muskrats shed their winter coats, the
boys and men who wish to earn money
and have short outing, camp along
the muddy ponds and sluggish
streams of Maine and spend a few
weeks trapping these animals, the
pelts of which are worth from 20 to 25
cents each when taken from their
bodies. but when tanned and dyed for
furs are sold as high as. one dollar.
says Dedham report.
The usual way to get the rats is to
bait a small steel trap with bit of
raw parsnip and set it on log or
stone in deep water. The trap should
be weighted with stone, so when the
animal is caught it will leap into deep
water and drown. for If caught above
water the rats will readily amputate
their legs by biting them off above the
traps, leaving worthless foot for
the hunter.
This spring James Sukeforth intro
duced novelty in the way of catching
the rats, which has yielded large prof
its and which promises to revolution
ize the business. While the water is
coated with ice the muskrats make
their homes in rough houses of mud
and sticks. built the previous autumn,
and so constructed that the roofs are
above the ice while the walls run down
to the mud at the bottom. The mud
walls keep the ice from forming on
the inside and leave hole through
which the animals can go and come at
all seasons.
Sukeforth, who had kept barroom
in Bangor few years before, was the
owner of 400 or 500 ancient beer bot
ties with rubber caps and patent
wired fastenings. When the new
styled bottles came in, he could not
sell his stock and took the lot to his
farm in Dedham. In his intercourse
with wild animals he had noticed that
muskrats were much annoyed by the
presence of lime, quitting their dens
as soon as any of the powder was left
nearby. Two weeks ago he brought
home a cask of fresh lime. and having
broken the Jumps. filed them into the
beer bottles, put in as much water as
the spaces would hold. and closing the
caps sunk them inside the muskrat
houses. Then he laid out a box of
loaded shells and stood at attention,
with his shotgun at hand.
The wetted quicklime soon began to
swell and bubble within the bottles,
and when the pressure grew too much
for the glass to stand the bottles ex-
ploded with noise that Jared the ice
and set the pond in a CULVER. The
muskrats, startled by the noise,
sought their. homes for safety. but
meeting the lime in the water made
haste to reach open air. As they
emerged on top of the ice Sukeforth
shot them as fast as they came. BY
using eight bottles of lime in four
homes be was able to capture ls4
muskrats in one forenoon.
1t is declared that the new way of
killing muskrats will enable one man
with a gun TO gather more pelts in
day than six men and 900 traps could

rats take into their lungs in trying to

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND
CONFISCATED III
NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke Of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity
Of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those-manufacturer who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis, but the ordinary housekeep-
er, whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, can
not make a chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for a
pound can, or that some prize-like a
spoon, or glass, or piece Of crockery,
or wooden ware-is given with the
powder as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking powder
of established name and character,
and as the health authorities continue
their vigorous crusades, the alum
danger will, it is hoped, finally be
driven from our homes.
