HUNTING THE St1f COYOTE
Drives sf Western Rnnchmen often
Result In Death OF scores.

There Is deal of coyote hunting in
the west that is not attended by the
nicctics of the club hunt. Ever since
the first pioneers pushed their way
across the great plains the coyote has
been an outlaw, looking for no mercy
At the hand of man. His predatory
habits have made the animal the bane
Of the ranchman and his howl has
made him the evaporation of the
camper and the terror of the tender
foot Then. too, his habit of skulkin-
Just within rifle range has always made
him tantalizing target for the man
with the rifle
In spite Of his unpOpulsrity with all
Glasses Of men, however, the coyote has
managed to hold his own better than
any other animal in the great west
The antelope is swifter of foot may
Dap. but not having the cunning of the
coyote has been lured within rifle range
until practically exterminated in many
statos, The ranchman's lust for fresh
meat, the eastern tourists desire for
antlers and elk teeth and the native
who Stays for the market have dcpOp-
ulated Colorado and several other
states OF their best game. The bear,
cougar and bobcat have felt the same
blighting influence, but the coyote still
figures in the sky line of the average
western picture. Sometimes he is un-
wise enough to eat of poisoned car
casscs Of cattle, but this is seldom.
Again he falls victim TO coyote
drive" organized by ranchmen and
participated in by townspeoplc, tender
feet, newspaper correspondents and
amateur photographers. These coyote
drives are held annually, or oftener
In nearly all western communities
where the prairie pest tiourishes. An
average drive" participated in by sew
eral hundred individuals will yield
sometimes twenty coyotes and some
times none at all. 4 good deal depends
on the wind, and more depends on the
coyotes cunning and ability TO sprint

THERMOMETERS Noses.

Although the process Of injecting
parattin under the skin was at first
hailed with delight by persons deslr.
Gus of rcmedying the defective shape

to have its drawbacks, says the Petit

The least pressure, he stated, was
fatal to the symmetry of the organs

DIED IN HARNESS.
Old Bill, Fire Horse, Dropped
Dead on His Way to a Fire.

Poor Old Bill, fire horse who for IA
years has done faithful service in the
Topeka department, fell dead Thursday
afternoon at AIS o'clock while on his
way to fire in North Topeka.
When the alarm came in, Old Bill
jumped to his place, and then, before
the harness fell. he hesitated. and tried
to turn back into his STALL The firenen,
rushing to their places, saw it, and were
amazed. for Old Bill had never done
anything like that before. But there
was no time to Investigate, or ask ques-
lions, or speculate about Bits queer
conduct In an instant he was back in
his place, and the hose wagon went
numbering, out of the station AS Old
Bill turned out into the pavement, and
settled down to work, the driver no.
ticed that he staggered little, and
seemed to have difficulty in keeping his
feet. But he went on for a block and
half. and then, all OF a sudden. went
down in a heap. Two minutes later he
died.
Old Bill was purchased in March,
1890. when a 7-year-old. He was at No.
3 fire station, drawing the truck, until
about year ago, when Chief Will
marth transferred him to North Tope-
ka, where the work was easier. Bill
was really on the retired list, but when
one of the North Topeka horses was
drowned in the flood, Bill was brought
into service again until a new horse
could be obtained. There has been
great difficulty in getting good horses,
and Bill has been kept in service.
George, who was running with Bill
when the latter died, is two years older
than Bill, but is in better condition.
He will be retired, however, as soon as
new horse can be found.
Chief Wilmarth hired a horse to take
the vacant place on the North Topeka
hose wagon until suitable new horse
can be found. The plan is to buy three
new horses, one to replace Bill, one to
replace George, and one as reserve
The fire to which the run was being
made was outside of the water limits,
and so it was unnecessary for the hose
wagon to be there. A one story brick
house at 933 North Fillmore, owned and
occupied by George Long, was almost
consumed when the chemical engine
arrived, and house next door was
taking fire. The chemical engine saved
the house next door, but the brick
house was destroyed, involving loss
of about $3.50.
! The fire originated, from gasoline. \

discovered that the house was in flames

Prof. Hays is generally recognized as
the foremost plant breeder in the world
While he is interested in working out
many problems of farm life which will
improve the conditions of the farmer,
he has made a speciality of breeding
wheat and the results of his work are
already worth at least a million dollars
a year to the farmers of Minnesota.
Two kinds of wheat are grown in
Minnesota, the Red Fife and Blue
Stem. A variety of the former which
Prof. Hays has bred, of which he first
began to spread the seed five years ago
selling 100 busels one year and 200 the
next, is now bringing the Minnesota
farmers enough additional wheat to be
worth million dollars a year. 1t
yields about two bushels per acre more
than the old kind.
He began distributing a new variety
of blue stem two years ago. and this
yields over four bushels per acre more
than the old kinds. Minnesota's acre.
age is about six million acres, so it can
be easily seen what this means to the
wheat growers.
Prof Hays will tell how he aecomp-
lished these results in his lecture to-
night as well as many other things in
connection with his work.
