To discriminate Red Anita.

Grease a plate with lard and set 1t
where these insects abound. They pre-
fer lard to any other delicacy and will
forsake even sugar for it. Place few
sticks around the plate for the ants to
climb upon. Occasionally turn the
plate bottom side up over the fire and
the ants will fall in with the melting
lard. Reset the plate, and in short
time you will catch them all.

Education of Women.
One of the most striking features Of
modern educational development is the
rapid growth of institutions for the
higher education Of women.
At the time of the Civil War there
was but one educational institution Of
college grade which had women stu
dents. This was Oberlin College, which
has been open to women since 1888. Now
there are more than $50 colleges and
universities in the United States which
are offering to women opportunities for
higher culture and professional train
ing In the universities and colleges
where a generation ago scarcely any
women We're enrolled, more than a
third of the total number of students
are women. In the eleven higher edu-
cational institutions for women only,
which fulfill the true college standard
in entrance requirements. training OF
faculty, and curriculum, there are now
enrolled 1852 students, and IA teaching
force, with university attachments,
numbering jO2. The total number of
women college students is estimated at
10000.
The Increase of women in profession
al schools has been particularly marked
in the past fifteen years According to
President Thomas of Bryn Mawr. the
gain in numbers of students in med-
cine from 1890 to 1898 was 81 per cent
Of men and "a per cent of women; in
dentistry, $50 per cent Of men, 2Oo per
cent Of women; in pharmacy, % per

in technology and agriculture, 119 per
cent of men, 104 per cent of women.

Bribery Developments.
There came to st. Louis In 1898 a
capitalist from New York seeking a
franchise covering nearly all the
streets Of the city. He came like a
thief in the night, with tools Of green
backs and gold. He paid to the Mu-
nicipal Assembly s25O,OO0.O0 in bribes
to get this franchise. twenty-five out
of twenty-eight members of the House
of Delegates took brides Of 100000
each. Seven members of the Council
were given from 100000 to ST.

Death of Old Settler.

One of the oldest and best known
residents of DEBORAH, Mrs. Charles
Ferren, passed away Monday at her
home on East Water street, after an
extended illness Mrs. Ferren and
her aged husband have been closely
identified with almost the entire his
tory of DEBORAH, and they have en-
joyed wide acquaintance, as we'll as
the respect and esteem of ever zone
who knew them. Her death will be
sad blow to Mr.. Ferren and their
many friends. Her maiden name was
Martha Ami Davis, and she was born
near Saco,' Maine, June /, 1886, being
united in marriage to Aaron 9. Ferren
at Nashua, n. H., Feb. 10, 1851, COM
ing to DEBORAH not long afterward.
The funeral services will be held from
the home this afternoon at two
O'Clock.

Prospecting for Gold.

1t has been known for some time
that James e. Lappen and others had
been prospecting near Freeport for
gold and other ore. and yesterday an
option for mining purposes on proper
ty belonging to Richard Tyler and
Fred Sheetz was filed with County
Recorder Lawrence by Mr.. Elsinger,
of Minneapolis, who we understand
will prospect thoroughly and attempt
to ascertain for certain if ore can be
secured here at paying prices. 1t has
been a matter of general knowledge
that different metals of value existed
in this vicinity, but have never been
supposed to be in quantities sufficient
to pay to work. 1t now seems that
the land will be thoroughly tested, at
any rate.

Candidates for County Offices.

The republican county convention
for the nomination of county officers
will be held in DEBORAH week from
Saturday. 1t is probable that the is
sues of the anti-convention campaign
are now clearly defined and that all
who will be candidates for the various
offices have made it known to the
public. With one exception it seems
that all of the present officers will be
renominated without opposition.
County Superintendent f. j. Hook,
Treasurer +. K. Haines, Sheriff
George Mizener, Surveyor G. E.
Schenck and Coroner Dr. P. M. Jewell
have each served in their various
capacities to the satisfaction of the
people and will doubtless be rewarded
with denominations. They have made
efficient, accommodating and faithful
officers. and this will be recognized
by the people.
The only nomination for which
there appears to be scramble is that
of Representative. DR.. J. S. Roome,
the present incumbent, is not a candi-
date for reelection, and so far four
gentlemen have announced their
names, L. B. Whitney, o. l.. Wennes,
M. A. Harmon and A. Jacobson.
Each of these men are being pushed
forward by their friends and would be
pleased to serve the people in this
capacity. We believe that any one of
them, if elected, would do their best
to serve the people of the county con-
scientiously and faithfully, and that
the convention will choose wisely
when it decides between them Here s
hopin' the best man may win.
In the fourth Supervisors district
there are two candidates, Gus Johnson
OF Glenwood and o. M. Selnes of
Highland, both of whom are highly
respected men, and who would ser re
the county with credit if elected.

Death of Miss Nellie CarOlan.

The death of Miss Nellie Carolan,
of Button township, daughter of the
late James Carolan, occurred at Mercy
Hospital, Dubuque, last Wednesday,
where she had been taken for treat
ment. She had been suffering with
nervous prostration since her fathers
death and was taken to Dubuque in
the hope that something could be done
for her couple of weeks ago, but
could not secure relief and passed
away last Wednesday. The remains
were brought to Button Thursday
and the funeral services held from the
Button church Friday. She was
twenty years of age, and is highly
spoken of by those who knew her.
