The great question, of course, was
what had become of the body. 1t was
supposed that I had carried it to some
hiding place Around the town were
as many as fifty old coal and iron shafts
from fifteen to forty feet deep. Some
were covered up and some open All
about us were huge snowdrifts, and the
idea was that 1 had buried White under
one of these, or flung the body into an
open shaft. More than 500 people
searched for the body for a week or
more, but no trace Of it could be found.
When I told about the nose bleed, no
one believed me The saloon keeper
could have set things right but he
maintained silence, afterwards explain
ing that he feared White had been over
come by drink and persisted in the
storm. Those who came to the store to
question me testified to all sorts OF false
things of which this was typical:
The prisoner hesitated to admit that
he had lately seen the missing man. He
was nervous. and it was very evident
that he knew more than he was willing

TOBACCO BUGS.
Insects Good Judges of Quality of the
Weed.

Tobacco bugs are better judges of the
higher brands of the weed that deHghJs
than most men, said an Old tobaece
man. and it is an extremely rare thing
to find these Destiferous insects in the
grades of the cheaper kind. They VIII
simply have nothing to do with the
cheaper kinds of tobacco. They know d
good thing when they see 1t, ana de-
spite the tricks of the trade there Is
absolutely no chance to fool the wise
bug when he takes q notion to bore into
a cigar, or into a plug of tobacco You
viii always find him in the finest thing
in the shop. Tobacco bugs are not with
out a curious sort Of interest. IheY
seem to come in cycles. I have known
them to slip. several years. Suddenly,
as if by magic, you will find the Whole
Dlace filled with them They are not
very large and will not measure more
than e-twelfth of an inch in length:
II would take very delicate pair o.
scales to weight one of them. they are
50 small But they are active and as
cunning as a fox. AS a rule they are
discovered by a mere accident and after
they have gotten under good headway-
Several wears ago New Orleans was
invaded by a regular army of these lit
tie creatures, and there was not a cigar
store in the whole length and breadths
OF the city that was not infested with
them. Dealers and customers alike COM
planned OF conditions How they man.
aged to get such a start no one has ever
beer able to learn They suddenly ap-
peared in all the cigar stands OF the city.
and there was great huSfI8nE to get r1d
of them by the men who did not want
their regulations to suffer on account Of
the appearance of the bugs in their
goods There Is but one way to get rid
of them. and that is to get rid of the
tobacco you find them in. This plan
was pursued at the time to which /
have referred The bugs bore very
small hole. You never find the hole
Until the bug comes out. And when he
is ready to come cut he has done all
the mischief he is capable of doing. He
has ruined the tobacco and has grown
pair OF wings. and is able to begin
the new kind Of life that is before him.
Besides, sufficient quantity of eggs
have been left behind to bring a new
supply Of tobacco bugs i1to the world
/ III due time. But the point I had ia
mind was that the bug always shows Il
decided preference for the better kind
/ Of tobacco, and really it is q very rare
thing to find them in either cheap chew
4 ing or cheap smoking tobacco. New

TROUTMAN may LEAVE.
He Proposes to Move on Silk
Vile Ranch.

James A. Troutman says that he may
move to Franklin county and live this
summer in the DeBoissiere home prop
erty. In speaking of the matter he
said:
so far VIC have made no arrange
ments about leasing this big estate. or
selling it. There are = great many
people who would like to get a small
portion of it. but we prefer to keep it
together I may decide to go down
there myself and live this summer If we
don't make some other disposal Of the
property.
We have had some propositions
relative to the sale of the property, but
nothing that has quite satisfied US 1
expect that we will ultimately sell the
property, but no deal has yet been
made"
Mr.. Troutman spent one entire day
recently driving over the estate. He
covered as much of the vast property
as he could but did not even see all
of the great tract which has come into
the hands of his firm
Mr.. Troutmans troubles have com
menced. An old double liability judg-
ment has been filed at Ottawa against
him. It is one of the old Safety De-
posit & Trust company claims and
amounts to about s1,500. The judgment
was secured in the Shawnee county

SALMON TO 60 HIGHER.
Tidal Wave Does Serious Damage to
Packing Industry.

Seattle. Wash. March z5.-Further
particulars of the havoc and devasta-
ton wrought by the tidal wave which
swept over Bristol bay in October last
and lashed its fury on the Nushgak,
Koggiung and Naknek rivers salmon
canning properties have been received
here, having been sent down by special
dog train to Chiknik. thence by mail
steamer to Valdez. The indications are
that the damage is much greater than
at first reported and will probably have
a serious effect ON the prospective pack
of Alaska salmon in the above districts
for the season of 1908. The advices are
TO the effect that out of total of tWen-
tv-tWo canneries which operated last
season on Bristol bay thirteen have
been damaged to such an extent that 1t
will be impossible to make repairs in
time to put up more than half the pack
at the very utmost, and 1t is further
stated that five large and important
plants have been literally swept out of
existence. AS the district covered by
the rivers on Bristol bay are those from
which is derived great portion Of red
salmon put up in Alaska-last season s
pack amounting to over a million cases
and as the total pack or 1902 red sal
mon, while phenomenal. was INSULT
cient to meet the requirements of the
trade. the prices of red Alaska salmon
in the immediate future will in all
probability, be much higher than at
present
