CROWS WEAR FOOLS CAPS.
How the Farmers of Holland Rid Their
Grain Fields of the Mischievous
Birds.

The following is funny enough
and worth trying on magpies and
crows:
An ingenious method of keeping
crows away from the grain field is
used by the farmers of. Holland.
He makes some small cornucopias
of stout paper and smears around
the inner side of the mouth of each
some birdlime or other adhesive. In
these he puts some grains of corn
and stands them in his fields by
pressing their points into the soft
earth
When the crow finds some of
these cornucopias he thinks himself
in great luck until he attempts to
peck at the tempting grain, when, to
his establishment, he finds the corn
ucopla attached to his head-a yer
liable FOOLS cap-which will not
even allow him to see what course
to take If he flies up
However he succeeds IN reaching
some coarse grass or bushes, and
after much bewildered scrambling
and Topping about gets his head out
of this undesirable cap and ever
afterward avoids the fields where
there are more of them.

Monday Evenings Meeting.


A meeting of citizens was held in
the Opera House, Monday evening,
and was very well attended. MIR. L.
G. Galloway called the meeting to
order, and followed with quite ex-
tended remarks, in manner explain
ing the position of the present coun-
ell. Mr.. N. f. Kimball, one of the
nominees for mayor, Mayor Ander-
son and Judge Richards occupied
seats on the platform Mr.. Kimball
followed Mr. Galloway and in gen
eral way explained his views regard
ing municipal affairs and incidentally
alluded to the fact well known that
when a man becomes a candidate he
can learn a great deal about himself
that he never knew before. He had
been called mossback and a prohi-
bitionist, but the general tone of his
remarks Indicated that he did not
come properly under either of these
classifications and speaking of needed
municipal improvements said that
as he realized that the years for him
were comparatively few at most, he
had always looked forward to being
for some of that time a dweller in q
community where comforts of mod
ern improvements could be enjoyed.
He stated his personal feelings re-
garding water and sewer advantages,
aud that while the town had been
practically immune from confagra-
ton and pestilence, the time would
come when more material method;
were in order In closing, he sale
that while never having sought the
nomination nor intending to spenC
neither time nor money to secure hi
} election, yet, if elected, he woul(
endeavor to fulfill all the lawful re
, quirements of the Office to the hes
of his ability. His remarks wer
