A rat with two tiny bells around its neck
Is performing a mission in one Of Winchester g
business blocks. This building for long
time had been infested with rodents, and
goods stored in supposedly secure places
were frequently ruined by the sharp teeth
OF the little gray creatures.
Many experiments were tried and all
proved Intellectual until the janitor sat up
oil one night to devise something novel as
an exterminator. His vigil bore fruit. A
rat was caught and etherzed. Its tail was
then chopped off close to the body. and n
wire on which the bells had been strung
was firmly fastened around the rodent 3
neck.
The rat was liberated and disappeared.
Since that time the bells have frequently
been heard in the building. but not a rat
has been seen, nor has any Of the stock been
molested.

a fox was killed In a poultry yard by an infu-

a raid on the young chicks. and after killing
seyeral belonging to certain hens. turned ts
attention to the brood Of another. This
conduct, however, the plucky cock would
not permit without Il struggle. and. rushing
at the fox, 1t was fortunate enough to pierce

How Moles Work.


From the Nep England Homesfead.
Moles are usually actively at work In the
early morning or late in the afternoon. 1t
is not difficult to kill them with pitchfork
when they are working. the animals being
located by observing the movement of the
ground above them. II water is allowed to
run into the burrow and fill II, the animal
when present can be forced to come TO the
surface 10 avoid drowning, and may be easily
killed. The best remedy for the damage
done to lawns and grass plots by moles IL
prompt rolling with heavy roller. By con-
tinued repetition OF this the moles will be
driven away, at least temporarily.
Moies have few natural enemies Their
food consists chiefly Of earthworms and nseo Is
that live in the ground, and their presence IN
large numbers at any place is an evidence Of
the abundance OF their food. There Is no
doubt that they do much good bv destroy
ing many noxious insects IL 1t were not for
the injury done to lawns by their throwing
up ridges OF earth along which the grass dies.

FOR A NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
Atchison Has Started a Substantial
Movement in This Direction.

Atchison, Nov. 16.-A substantial move
ment has been started for new hign

Der of the board, lit is forcing itself upon

high school and will soon be compelled to
turn pupils away for want of accom1noda-

The greater part of the last meeting
was devoted to new high school talk: 1t
was the general opinion that a satisfac-
tory building can be constructed for So
OGO including the cost of site; lne
board has reduced it's indebtedness to $780,
co., which it is paying off at the rate OF
So 1000 annually. A new high school would
delay getting out of debt ten years, but
would not greatly increase the present
levy for school purposes. The additional
expense would be or per cent interest
on $50, 600. The present agitation is a sort
of a feeler. If people do not want the
building their wishes will be respected
The plan, unless it meets with too much
Opposition, will come up in the form of
a proposition to vote the bonds. It is
proposed to locate the school somewhere
near the central part of the city.

THINK MANHATTAN EASY.
The Kansas Eleven Will Not Try to
Run Up Big Score Saturday.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 16.-In prep
aration for the Kansas Manhattan
Agricultural college game to be played
at Manhattan next Saturday Coach
Kennedy has started his pupils on a
week of practice that will have more
for it's aim the Thanksgiving game
with Missouri than the Manhattan
contest.
The Jayhawkers will doubtless have
an easy time in winning next Satur-
day, but no effort will be made to run
up a large score as the Kansans are
saving themselves for the Missouri
game which is expected here to be a
hard one. The men did not make the
showing against Washington univer-
sity that was expected and a few of
the players were crippled. Drummer
has a bad knee that will hardly allow
him to get in the Thanksgiving con-
test in good form. This is the first
time in Brunner's career here as a
football player that he has been forced
to leave the game. Captain Hicks said
last night that the men did not play
the game Saturday they will have to
play to win turkey day by more than
considered more in Kansas favor
than it is now and the Jayhawkers'
narrow escape with a field goal by
pIucky little Pooler taught the KAN
sans a lesson. Coach Kennedy is
working with fear that his men will
become stale before the Missouri
game, and after the Manhattan con-
test he will probably give them a two
days rest and take them out in the
country for an overland drive and
short run.

HAVE PIPE LINE TROUBLES.
The Montgomery County Injunction
Suit Taken Under Amusement.

Chanute, Kan, Nov. 16--In the
hearing of the application for an in
junction to restrain the officers of
Montgomery county from interfering
with the construction of their pipe
line from Independence, Kan, to Jop-
lin, No, at Oswego, the court has
taken the matter under Amusement.
The day was consumed taking tesu-
mony The arguments continued I'M
til midnight. For the present the
building of the line through Mont
gomery county will be suspended.
But the line which is being con-
structed through Labette county Will
be pushed to the state line The peo-
pie of Labette county never have
shown hostile feeling towards the gas
companies engaged in the attempt to
pipe gas through that part OF the
state. No gas has been found IN La
bette county and the coming of the
pipe line means cheap fuel for Par
sons, Galena and the other towns, in
Guiding PittSburg. The newspapers in
Labette county have urged the au-
thorities to keep hands off and permit
the pipe line to come on. A FRANCHISE
has been secured in Parsons and Ga
lena for putting in natural gas sys-
tenn, and as soon as the pipe line is
completed these towns will be sup
piled.
In Montgomery county the indigna-
ton against the companies desiring to
pipe the gas out, and particularly
against the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany, is very bitter. Independence and
Coffeyville editors and citizens have
gone so far as to advocate tearing up
that part of the line already built,
should no other means be found to
stop the construction of the rest of it.
1t is expected that the decision of the
Oswego court will be given some time
in the coming week.

CATHOLICS DOUBTFUL.
Slow to Believe the Marquise Des Mon
stiers Has Renowned the Church. q.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Prominent
members of the Catholic clergy in
Washington expressed surprise at the
announcement from Rome that the
Marquise pes Monsters, formerly Miss
NJ. G. Caldwell, and the founder of the
Catholic university here, had re-
nounced the Catholic faith. In fact
they were loath to believe she had
formed such a determination. At the
university itself the statement would
not be accepted as true, but in order
to satisfy himself on the subject
Rector O'Connen cabled Rome for in
formation.
Bishop Spalding. of Peoria, is in this
city to attend a meeting of the trus-
tees of the university. When asked if
he could assign any reason for the
Marquise Des Monsters action, he
answered that he could not; that he
knew her only as a good Catholic;
until the announcement was made he
had given no thought otherwise. cit
is all mystery to me-" he said. One
of the Catholic clergy attributed as a
possible cause, taking the story to be
correct, the notoriety which the uni
versity gained by the failure of Thos.
z. Waggaman, its treasurer, by which
it suffered considerable financial loss.
