RATS LEAVING BY THOUSANDS
Yet There IL No Apparent Decrease In
Their Number at New Orleans.

Yet There IL No Apparent Decrease In
Their Number at New Orleans.
Captain A. r. McGonnigal was for
a number Of years an officer Of one of
the fruit steamers plying between New
Orleans and Central American ports.
Talking with me about this fruit trade
he said: "Do you know, it amazes me
that the fruit steamers do not succeed
in Kidding New Orleans Of its rat popu-
lation. They are continually carrying
rats away from New Orleans and new
er bring them back, yet the rat supply
in the Crescent City always holds up
under the strain pretty well.
II was in the trade for good many
years, ana count this curious freak
Of the Louisiana rats one Of the oldest
things l have ever been cognizant Of.
While the fruit steamers lie at the
New Orleans docks the rats stow them
selves away by the scores and the hun
dreds. Cats are of no avail in keep
ing them back. had fifteen on board
my craft once, and they succeeded in
doing no more than keep the rodents
below deck. On the out voyage they
are one Of the biggest nuisances imag-
Unable, but as soon as the vessel reach
es one Of the Central or South Ameri.
can ports they swarm ashore, as
though the Pied Piper Of Hamelin
were playing on the sands.
During the return voyage to New
Orleans, with my vessel loaded with
luscious fruit. and, it would be pre-.
sumed, far more enticing to a rat, !
have never seen them on board. They
sail out with US. but they never come
back. don't know how to account for
1t, but the statement is true, and
have no doubt the captain Of every
vessel in the fruit trade out of New
Orleans has noticed 1t and will sub
standate my assertion. st. Louis

claimed queen under the regency Of
her mother, Maria Christina.
This event proved the signal for
civil warfare, as the claims of the
late kings brother were warmly sup
ported by certain classes of the people.
The war lasted seven years and the
country was desolated. until the Cortes
confirmed the claims Of Isabella pro-
nouncing sentence of exile on Don
Carlos and his adherents.
In 1910, the queen regent finding it
impossible to carry on the government
without making concessions to public
feeling for which she was indisposed,
retired to France, resigning her pow
er into the hands of Espartero, head
Of affairs. Isabella was declared by a
decree Of the Cortes to have attained
her majority Oct. Ii, 1S43, and took
her place among the reigning sover-
eigns of Europe. Maria Christina re.
turned to Madrid in 1S45.
A Farmer Found IL.
Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 23.-To
find medicine that will cure every all
ment due to diseased or disordered Kid
neys has been the aim of many physi-
clans and chemists.
Mr.. G. E. Peterson, farmer of this
place says he has found such remedy
and that he has tried it with success in
his own case. Mr.. Peterson says the
remedy is Dodd's Kidney Pills, a medi-
cine introduced here about seven
months ago.
81 am glad to be allowed to testify to
what good things Dodd's Kidney Pills
have done for me. / used this remedy
for Kidney trouble and it cured me
completely.
81 can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with
any kind of Kidney trouble"
Mr.. Peterson's case is only one of
many just as convincing that have been
reported recently. This new remedy
seems to have conquered Rheumatism
completely, not a single case having
been reported where Dodd's Kidney
Pills have failed tS cure perfectly and
permanently.

MAY BE A MURDER
fIkO County Men Fight Over a
Woman

Word was received in Elko Thursday
afternoon that murder had been COM
mitted at Phil Fosters wood camp in
the cedaIs near the Hesplan oil well.
From what the Independtn was able
TO learn it appears that Frank Blair
and a man named Brown had a quar-
lel at the camp Tuesday night over
Lottie Allen, a woman of the half
world, who was cooking for them.
In the fight that followed Brown
struck Blair with an axe splitting his
head open. Another report says Blair
was struck on the shoulder with the
axe and that he was badly injured, but
not killed. Lottie Allen was also hurt,
but was able to make her way Wednes-
day TO the old Mason ranch on South
Fork and report the affair 10 the peo-
pie there. She is French and they are
Italian, and as neither speaks much
English. the particulars are very mea-
ger. After the affray. Brown struck
over the hills with a rifle.
Mr.. Foster received a note from the
Allen woman last evening. in which she
Sald Sne had Deeh uTlSNn from lHe
camp by Brown and was stopping al
the ranch and asked him to provide
means for her to go to town. She said
nothing about any trouble between
Brown and Blair. Mr.. Cicilina who
lives at the ranch reported the affair to
Mr.. Foster from what he had learned
