AN AUTOMATIC scAFFoLD.

Condemned Man Tn Cheyenne, wyO.,
 Will Be His own Executioner.
 Sheriff Smalley of Cheyenne, Wyo., has let the contract for the scaffold upon which Tom Horn, the notorious cattle detective will be his own exc cutioner on Nov. 20 to James P. Ju- lien. When Charlie Miller, fifteen years of age, was sentenced to hang Sheriff Kelley had computations about exc cutting the lad. Talking with Julien, he expressed his feelings on the mat ter, and Julien, possessing some genius as an inventor, told Kelley he could contrive a gallows which would work automatically. Miller's scaffold was the result.
 The simplicity of the construction makes the operation sure. When the condemned man steps on the trap a weight opens valve in a vessel of water under the scaffold, and when the vessel becomes empty the acounter- balance operates and jerks the plug under the trap. letting the drop, fall and shooting the condemned man into eternity.

Nove1tie. In seed1e.. Fruit.

A small box of California seedless plums has been received by one of the leading Philadelphia fruiterers, the first of the kind ever perfectly grown and ripened, says the Philadelphia Press. They were of large size, of a deep blue color and said to be delicious in flavor and quality and were prompt ly sold at as fancy price. It is said that a seedless prune will be one of next seasons novelties, and satisfactory ex- periments and hybridizing are now be- ing conducted by some of the largest fruit growers in the south and west. Seedless watermelons, apples, peaches, pears, plums, grapes, strawberries and blackberr1es are promised for the next years markets. The experts in the fruit departments of the agricultural bureau at Washington have, it is said, been quite successful this season in producing stoneless fruit.

How the Big Packing Establish-
 ments Got Their Start.

How the Big Packing Establish
 ments Got Their Start.
 "As a live stock market Chicago stands second to none," said a dealer of that city the other day. "The fig, ures for 1902 show receipts at Chi. cago that tell volumes if you stop to consider their full import. Almost 8,000.000 head of sheep, over 100000 hogs, 100000 horses, 125, 900 calves and 3,0o0,00O cattle were brought to the Chicago market last year by the big railroads that reach out into the cat tie ranges and feeding grounds all over the west. The reports show 278,10 car loads of live stock received here iEl 1902, quite growth for the ffty-fve years since the first shipment.
 Have you read about that first ship ment of live stock? Young Millican Hunt, now over eighty years old, had started across the prairies to market with a sled load of hogs, and when he got across the Des Plaines river he found there was no snow on which to draw his pigs the rest of the journey.
 That was In 1S48, the year the Ga lena road, now the Chicago and North western, built it's first ten miles, and young Hunt made dicker with the crew of a construction train, loaded his porkers on the train and rode into Chicago triumphant behind the little old Pioneer
 "Was you ever out to the Field Co., lumbian museum?" the dealer contin- ued. "Well, you should go out there some day and see that old locomotive. She stands for good deal from Chi cago's point of view. She brought in the first load of live stock, and the day the road was opened and the may or and the big men of the town were trying the novelty of a ride on the first regular train she pulled the first rail shipment of grain into town. The farmer out on the prairie hailed the junketers and loaded his wheat on a good deal like Hunt had the hogs carried in.
 'They tell me now," he went on, "that last year that load of hogs had grown to over 65,0OO car loads of live stock brought into Chicago over the Northwestern. The Pioneer was sure ly we'll named.''

tEBAuDYs LATEST SCHEME

JacQues \. Wants to Establish n
 Home For Negroes In Africa.
 The New York Herald. recently pub Gshed the following from it's London correspondent:
 M. Lebaudy, otherwise Jacques l., emperor of Sahara, has tired out a multitude of reporters, photographers and representatives of firms anxious to have hand in fitting out his em- pire, and the other day the siege of his room at the Savoy hotel was raised, and he was free to go about his busi- ness in London.
 What that business exactly is M. Le- baudy still refuses to disclose, but the London Daily Mail contains a version of M. Lebaudy's intentions which pur- ports to be on next to the best author ity. According to this report, M Le- baudy desires to be handed down to posterity as the greatest benefactor of the negro race who ever lived.
 With this idea his intentions are purely pacific and commercial. He de- Eires first to obtain the consent of the European powers who claim to have Influence over the territory on which he has designs, to establish along the northwest coast of Africa an empire larger than Rhodesia, to be entitled the United States of Liberia Here he proposes to found negro state, peo- pied by negroes from America, espe- ctaliy from the southern states, who would receive grants of land and be encouraged to found a country of their own. If M. Lebaudy obtains all the territory he desires he will have country rich in minerals, india rubber and coffee
 He is not unwilling to engage some of his own vast capital in the enter prise, but he seeks to interest other capitalists in the venture. In this lies the true secret of his visit to London, where at the present moment he is in negotiation with several railway con tractors. He is further in treaty with well known steamship company with a view to contracting for a feet of yes sels which will run from Liverpool to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia.

The chamber of commerce of Toledo, O., is interested in promoting com- pany for the manufacture of hats and caps so ventilated that they will pre- vent badness, says the Chicago Rec ord-Herald. Luther Stirewait, Toledo has made study of the cause of bald ness, which he claims is unventilated hats. The hats are so constructed that the wind can whistle through freely or by means of roller slide those who fear colds can close the ventilator at will. The chamber and the inventor have taken up the scheme in good faith and are organizing company to msnufactu1e the hats.

NEW WAR ON SQUIRRELS.
California Farmers VIII Spread Dis.
 ease by InocuIation.

California Farmers Will Spread Dis-
 ease by InocuIation.
 The farmers of Contra Costa county, in California, have hit upon new plan to get rid of the squirrel pest and through their representatives in the board of supervisors have appealed to the University of California to aid them, says a special dispatch from Berkeley to the Chicago Inter Ocean, Supervisors Stow and Tormey called at the College of Agriculture the other day in that capacity as committeeman representing the farmers and presented the new scheme, which will receive the backing of the university.
 It consists of the spreading of 8 plague that already exists among the squirrels by artificial inoculation The farmers of Contra Costa county have lately discovered that the squirrels have been dying off from some new disease which has attacked them. But the pests shave not been dying fast enough to please the farmers, who think they have found way to assist the disease
 Some bright mind recently suggested that the malady might be spread by capturing few of the diseased ami mals, extracting the plague germs and inoculating hundreds of others, which would in turn infect those among which they are turned loose. The plan seems to be a perfectly feasible one and may solve the problem of the squirrel pest, which has annoyed farm CTS for long time in California.
