Washington, Sept. 2.-Chekib Bey'
the Turkish minister, had a long inter-
view with Secretary Hay. He refused
to discuss the interview, stating he
lad nothing to communicate further
than what appeared in the Associated
Press dispatches yesterday.
After the interview Hay visited the
navy department. IT the Turkish min
lister requested that the European
squadron be kept away from TURKISH
waters his request probably cannot be
granted, even should this government
desire to accede to It,, as the navy de-
partment states 1t will be Impossible 10

Beirut.
1t is known that Turkey has earnest
ly hoped to be able to induce the Wash
ington government to change Its plan
of sending ships to Beirut, on he
ground thai it would greatly enhance
the difficulty of maintaining order. 1t
was pointed u by the Turkish minis
ter that the insurgent disposition
throughout the empire would be exas-
perated by the appearance Of hostile
warsllips; while the reyolutionists
would be greatly encouraged by the be-
lief that every threat against Turkey
was an assurance Of help IN case a con-
dition of real "a could be brought
about.

70 DEFEAT
Disaffeeted Ohio Democrats May Pre-

Disaffeeted Ohio Democrats May Pre-
sent Rival Ticket This Falls
Springfield, o., Sept. 2.-There has
been considerable talk since the state
democratic convention adjourned at
Columbus last Wednesday of another
ticket being put in the field. This
movement took form here today in the
announcement that w. S. Thomas, a
wealthy manufacturer and for many
years a member of the democratic
state central committee, would be the
candidate for governor against the
ticket that is headed by Mayor John
son of Cleveland.
One of the closest friends Of Thomas
states that w. S. Thomas would accept
and run for governor If a formal prop
;ps1tion was made and an organization
perfected for another ticket. Mr..
Thomas himself said:
II will be heard from when the prop
er time ZONES"
Thomas would make no denial either
regarding the movement or his own
position, but simply insisted that he
was not yet ready for an interview.
It. IS stated here thai Lewis G.. Ber-
Dard, who has been the democratic
leader at Cincinnati for many years
and who is not now connected with
the state organization of his party, is
among those favoring another ticket
headed by Thomas. Those interested
n the movement have communicated
with Bernard, who insists that he has
nothing as yet to say for publication.

Prairie Dog Holes.
The prairie dog hole is h terror of
the cowboy during h roundup When
fast riding is necessary, and the prairie
dog is the pest of the farmer In dry
prairie regions, When chasing a steer
or when trying to get control OF a nero
of cattle that has stampeded, COW
boy frequently runs into a prairie dog
town with chances in favor of his horse
getting a leg broken and himself a bad
fall. The land is useless for cultiva-
ton while h holes exist, and destroy
ing this pretty little dog is a difficult
task. There is a tradition h a their
holes extend down to water and that
they have subterranean streets IN their
towns connecting all the homes. !
am of the opinion hat the tradition has
foundation in fact the journal of the
Lewis and Clark expedition, which
traversed the continent in the carry
days of the last century, tells OF the
discovery of prairie dog town on the
Missouri in what is now South Dakota.
l1le JOuIlldI lGllS llidS ltC SHPNNtNAS
found about FOUR acres of ground COW
cred with small holes. These are the
residences of little animals called by
the French petit chem Cittle dog). In
order to bring them out we poured IN
one hole five barrels of water without
filling it, but we dislodged and caught
the wner."
Near Rapid City water from an ir-
rigating ditch was turned upo a
prairie dog town, but the holes did not
fill and the water came to the surface
two miles further down the valley.
But farmers are now finding sulphur
fumes an effective means of destroying
the prairie dog. They pump the burn
ing sulphurs into the hole and then
cover the opening, and the little dog is
s%uffocated, and along with him perish
the own and the ratt!esnake h a in
habit his home. M. l.. Fox.
