government by shipping bsak to China
on the steamer Gaelic six imposters
instead of six Chinese who were or
dered deported by United States Dis
trict Court Judge Behaven. One ar

others will follow shortly. Most sem
sational developments are expected as
it is believed that the government has

It is the contention of the govern
ment officials that the six genuine
Chinese were in the county Jail and
that they were removed from there at
Z o'clock by a deputy United States
marshal and taken in hack to the
Pacific Mail dock. From there they
were placed safely on board the steam

that subterranean passage leads from
the castle of Eu1inogradm, where
Prince Ferdinand lives as though be-
sieged, to the river, through which the
prince can escape by water when con-
WINGED that his position is no longer
tenable.
It is added that the Princess Glenn
entine, mother of Prince Ferdinand,
saw King Edward at Vienna, told him
that her con was in a deplorable posi-
ton and in danger of his life and beg
geo the king to have vessel in readi-
ness to carry him away from bulgaria.
King Edward, it is further asserted,
assured Princess Clemintine that
Prince Ferdinand would always find
an asylum in England.

Will Be UnavoidabIy Delayed

Secretary Webb of the Railroad
Commission announces that it will be
impossible, in all probability, for him
to get the assessment rolls of the
railroads out to the various counties
before October l. The other duties
of the Office have been such as to
throw him little behind with the as
sessments, and as there is no pro-
vision made for assistance in such
cases, it will be hard pull to get
them ready by the date mentioned. 1t
has been customary to send them to
the various chancery clerks on or
about Sept. l of each year. After
their receipt, the proper officers pro-
coed to levy and collect the taxes az
sessed by the commission.

"Smith'so Jokes.

When Prince Ranji Sinhji was at
Cambridge he was known among his
fellow graduates as "Smith," his full
name being considered much too long
for everyday use. A good story is told
of how he once scored off Jackson, the
Cambridge captain, in a match played
between Cambridge and the M. G. G.
One of the NJ. G. G.. batsmen sent ball
with lightning swiftness close to where
"Ranjf' was standing. Every one, in
Guiding the batsman (who started to
rum concluded that the ball had gone
near the boundary, and as "Ranji'' still
stood motionless, with his hands in his
pockets, the captain shouted angrilys

reply was to take the ball out Of his

F. II. Theriot Kills Walter Franks.

The Comfort House at Kosciusko,
was the scene of tragedy a few days
ago in which Walter Franks, O young
man about "a years of age, who had
been guest of the hotel, was killed
by +. 81. Theriot. manager of the ho-
tel. The weapon was a short club or
"billie," and only one blow was
struck. Franks had been drinking
and boisterous the night before it is
SAID, snd had engaged in fist fight
with another young man in the hotel.
He and his companion had been twice
put out by Thereof and his son.
Franks is said to have drawn a knife
on Theriot. Mr.. Theriot IS about Sc
years old and has family. He is q
native of Louisiana, and has resided
at Kosciusko about two years. Franks
parents reside in Franks, Leake coun-
ty, to which place the body was sent.

water. When they are plastered OUT
side with mud they are about the size
and shape of haycock. / have seen
as many as thirty houses in one pond.
When winter comes the pond freezes
solid. The beaver is then safe from all
enemies save man, and man must be
a cunning hunter to get the furry and
chubby little quadruped. The chamber
Of the house is above water, and is
lined with moss and leaves. The door
comes out under the water, close to the
brush pile. The houses are not con-
nected
''The beaver lives in winter upon his
store of bark and tender shoots gath
cred in the fall, and does not come out
until spring. On the upper side of the
dam he has large quantities of mate
rial stored, to use in repairs, should
any damage be done to his dam or
house. 1t is said that the beaver sleeps
in his chamber with his tail hanging
in the water. If anything happens to
the dam, he knows it at once, for his
tail telegraphs him, so to speak, when
the water begins to fall.
TRAPPING BEAVERS.
1.-THE modern way of trapping beaver
is to cut hole in the ice between the
woodpile and the house. A set steel
trap is then lowered by means OF
split stick, until it sinks into the mud
and is thus concealed The chain of
the trap is fastened to a dry stake,
driven solidly into the pond. The
beaver discovers the stake, and in try
ing to remove it gets caught AS he
cannot readily gnaw a dry stick, he
soon browns.
Il have known beaver to occupy
ponds where lumbermen have built
dams in the woods, but they generally
prefer to do their own work. A few
years ago some beavers were discov-
cred in the pond of a mill on Hard
wood Creek, near Parkhurst, Me.
Someone hoisted the gate, but no beav-
ers came out. Next morning, however,
the fume was found to be choked eff
fectually with stumps, logs, stones and
mud, and the water thus stopped. AS
there were only two beavers there the
work they did in one short night was
remarkable-a good days work for
two able-bodied men" -Philadelphia
Record.
