THE PRAIRIE Dog PROBLEM.
Reports Received Indicate Thor
ough Work Being Done,
CANNOT SUPPLY THE DEMAN D,

Topeka, March G.-rhe Agricultural
college believes IL has hit the proper
solution Of the prairie dog problem.
Reports are coming in every day that
the poisonous mixture prepared by
Professor Lantz is doing its intended
work effectively and with dispatch.
The first lot of poison was sent out ON
January IS and during the thirty days
following the college sent out over
81 300 worth of the corrosition. Or
ders are now pouring in all parts
of Kansas and from Colorado and Ok
lahoma, though the requests from
honored so far. AS the mixture is
proving It's value the orders increase
One man near Goodland writes that he
wants poison for II 200 acres of dogs.
Professor Failyer is kept busy with the
preparation of the mixture, while Pro
fessor Lantz does the corresponding
and expressing. A good deal of cor
responding is caused 10y the assumption
of many farmers that the state or the
college is furnishing the poison mixture
free of charge to those who write for it.
The mixtuae is furnished in half gal
lon cans, securely packed and properly
labeled, at the price of S1.5O per can,
which is the wholesale price for the
ingredients and the boxing. can of
the mixture is intended TO kin several
thousand dogs-all that will likely be
found on a quarter section in the most
densely infested districts.
Professor Lantz laboratory of prai-
rie dog poison consumes daily about
six dozens of eggs sixty pounds of
sugar, nine pounds of green coffee,
eight pounds of potassium cyanide and
lT6 ounces of strychnine. The quanti-
ties given above will fill about eighty
eight cans, all that can be manufac-
tured per day by Professor Failyer,
who is making the preparation. OF
late the requests have poured in so
rapidly that this quantity is insufficient
to supply the demand.

Topeka, March s.-Notice has been
served on the attorney general that the
Atkins case from Kansas City, Kans
involving the validity of the eight-hour
law would be appealed to the supreme
court of the United States. 1t is con-
tended by w. w. Atkins and other
public contractors at Kansas City that
the eight-hour law is invalid because
It interferes with the right of contract.
All of the contractors there have pool
ed issues and will stand their share of
the expense The state supreme court
recently upheld the law.

the troops and directed the assaults
which were to decide the existence or
downfall of the empire. Here again
treachery followed in his path. for
Marquee, who had been chosen by
him as generalissimo against the re-
publican troops of Juarez, proved
himself also a traitor For, when no
help came from the city of Mexico,
the emperor sent Marquee there, es-
corted by LOO riders, to bring aid

fell and Maximilian was the sacrifice.
In his last hours Won Busch was with
him What brave words were those
he, at the end, spoke to his physician
II can assure you dying is much
easier than | had thought"
A few hours before his execution
the emperor handed his physician his
wedding ring, saying to him, you
will soon be going back to Vienna;
talk with my parents and relatives
and describe minutely to them the
siege and also the last days of my life.
And to my mother say that | did my
duty as a soldier and died like a
Christian"
And as he looked out at the blue
sky, he continued; 81 have always
wished that | might die when the
weather was beautiful, and this wish
at any rate has been granted me-"
He was to have been shot on the 10th
of June but for some reason the exc
cution was postponed until the 18th.
That is hard, said the emperor
upon hearing of the delay, for | had
| already finished with the world"
Then turning to the weeping Father
Soira, who, during those last bitter
hours, stood constantly by his side,
he added, Il somehow seem to have
changed places with my father con-
fessor, and it appears that it is
who must comfort and strengthen
him, so that he does not lose courage
and break down at the last"
With wonderful thoughtfulness
even at the very last sad hour. the
emperor telegraphed the republican

of his faithful Mexican generals and
let him be the only sacrifice. But
this petition was refused. And not
withstanding this, Maximilian wrote
back a letter filed with regret and
magnanimity to Juarez.
Maximillan's nature was a truly
great one, and the story OF the suf-
ferings of the noble man whose re-
mains now lie buried in the princely
vault on the New Market PlatZ" in
Vienna, is one that still shines vivid

Standing but few steps from the
magnificent tomb of the beloved

Washington, March s.-Chairman
Payne of the Ways and Means com
mittee gave out statement regarding
the proposed reduction of Cuban tar
ifs:
"The third proposition is that for
20 per cent reduction of duties. This
would injure no home industry.
Coupled with the provision to extend
our exclusion laws to Cuba, no one APP
pearing before the committee on ways
and means contended that it would so
injure home industries. All agreed
that the price of sugar to the American
consumer would remain the same. Nor
would it injure the sugar trust. The
witnesses before the committee united
in testisying and the statistics prove
that the trust receives no benefit in
buying sugar, either in Hawaii or
Porto Rico, since the dnty was reduced
or removed. The entire benefits have
been reaped by the planters in these
islands. We have every reason to be-
lieve that the same would prove true
of Cuba"

ut addition to the many other
lA$ representatives of foreign
EH governments, Vienna has
val been harboring a new dip
~ y lomatic mission from Mex
leo. The presence in the
Imperial City of this par
ticular embassy, consisting of two men
with the high-sounding names of Don
Jose de Teresa Miranda Ca near rela-
tive of President Diaz), and Manuel de
Lizard, means that there is now a
complete renewal of official relations
between Austria-Hungary and Mexico,
which were broken off thirty-hve
years ago The recent reception OF
the Mexican ambassador was, how
ever, preceded by the conservation of
an expiatory chapel at Quertaro,
erected to the memory of Macmillan,
and to which the emperor Francis Jo-
seph sent a magnificent altar piece, as
a memorial of his martyred brother.
This new state of things naturally
brings once more before the public eye
the noted Mexican city, where gem
Grafton ago was played the last act of
tragedy.
There is still living in Vienna an
old energetic, little man who was an
eyewitness to the terrible event, the
Hapsburger Maximillian's cruel death.
This man, Prof. Won Busch, was the
only European the emperor took with
him in his suite when he left the
Mexican capital to go to Quertaro.
Prof. Won Busch was therefore able
TO give to the world a graphic and
authentic account of the last days
of this short-lived and noble mon
arch.
According to Prof. Won Buschs
statements, Maximillian from the very
beginning played a thankless role,
surrounded as he was by his treacher-
Gus assistant emperor and his not
too unselfsh ministers. Marshal Ba-
zaine appears, though, to have been
the greatest enemy of all, and
Prof Won Busch accuses him, in his
book (sanctioned by Napoleon 1II),
of grossly violating the contract by
the withdrawal at a most critical
time OF the French troops, which,
according to the convention of Mira
mer, had been placed at the service
of the emperor of Mexico.
This Mexican expedition, how
ever, seems not only in its ending but
throughout the whole affair much
more like an adventure than anything
else Through it liberal prince be-
came the tool of the Tuilleries, by
allowing himself to be forced upon
a foreign people who had no wish
for a foreign monarch. MaximiliaIi
found on his accession an empty state
treasury, and in this beggared condi-
tion his ministers allowed him to
undertake the expedition to Quertaro,
Consequently, during its siege, he suf-
fered many hardships and experienced
untold anxieties. He waited for
money and troops, but neither was
sent to him from the city of Mexico.
And to add to all his other troubles,
perfidious follower wound himself
successfully into the emperor's conf
dence, who, unfortunately, mistook
treachery for faith. But his greatest
bitterness was against the French
And only few days before his execu-
tion, in a conversation with Won
Busch, the emperor dwelt with sad

LAST OF FINNISH DRAGONS.
Russian War ONCE Makes an End of a
Famous Regiment.

Famous Regiment.
The disbandment by the Russian
war office of the only Finnish regi-
ment of dragons, already reported by
cable, is likely to have sequel. 1t
will be remembered, perhaps, that the
commander of the regiment Col
Schaumann, when directed by Gen.
Bobrikoff, the governor of Finland, to
administer the Russian oath to the
soldiers, refused to do so, on the
ground that it had not been sanctioned
by the Finnish diet, as was required
by the constitution of the country.
Gen. Bobrikoff was SO enraged by this
reply that he forgot his good manners,
and expressed himself in such violent
terms that Col. Schaumann then and
there resigned from the service. Gen.
Bobrikoff then asked for his dismissal
and transfer to a cavalry regiment OF
the reserve. Upon this all the other
officers resigned in a body, and this
action was regarded in st. PETERSBURG
as an act of deliberate mutlny, as II
undoubtedly was, whatever the provo
cation. The disbandment of the regi-
ment itself followed; but the end is
not yet, for ii is said that all the Of
Tending officers will have to answer
before a military tribunal Whatever
the result may be, it is safe to predict
that it will not allay the growing ex-
asperation of the Firms.

committee will meet this evening
aud in all probability candidate
for the fourth district will be select

day that "Joe" Gilman will be the
nominee. On the other side the
Home Rulers arc not inactive. They
are said TO have several men ready
to enter the field, prominent among
whom are F. w. Beardslee and
James @. Quinn. The majority OF
the executive committee are said TO
favor Quinh'S name, but Beardslee
has strong following outside of
the committee. Both are good men
and will put up a good fight. As
to the Democratic, they teem to have
taken a back seat. Since it was dis
covered that "Charlie" Wilder was
not e!igibls they have taken no
action, but are awaiting develop

is true, we would advise them to en-
dorse him by all means. Anything
to beat them at their own game and
tricks. He being master builder
and an employer of labor, whites
and natives alike (no Asiatics need

in that district being mechanics,
artisans and laborers. And more
over, the Republicans cannot put
forth another as likely and as
strong. To the members of the
