Origin of "BuIldosing."

''To bulldose" is to give dose OF
bull (whip), a hiding, i. e., (cowl
hiding with strip of Unframed hide
made into whip. Hence, in politi-
cal slang, it has come to mean to
coerce or intimidate, but not neces-
sarily with the use of violence. The
word originated in Louisiana with the
Union Rights leagues (negro), whose
enthusiasm on the suffrage question
led them to form oathbound societies,
which scrutinized closely the politics
of disaffected brethren, and if any
nergo was found voting, or was sus-
pecting Of an intention to vote the
Democratic ticket, he was first warned
and then logged (bulldosed). The
spelling Of the original word has been
changed to 'bulldoze.

A Green Worm in Cabbage.

A Spirit Lake, Iowa, paper has the
following to say that may be of inter-
est to cabbage consumers: cit would
be we'll for the people to examine
closely all cabbage before cooking it
this fall. Many heads of cabbage are
said to contain small green snake,
about the size of a hair and almost
invisible. Charley Newton of Dick
ems, found one of these green reptiles
in cabbage the other day. Persons
eating the cabbage containing these
worms are made very sick, and sew
eral deaths have occurred in Iowa this
fall as result of eating cabbage
containing these worms. The state
authorities have taken the matter in
hand, and as a protection to the peo-
pie have ordered the sauer kraut fac
tories in the southern part of Iowa
shut down. We also understand that
the sale of kraut has been prohibited
in Des Moines.''

"Formerly the smokiness and the
