SUMNER SEASON has BEEN FAVORABLE
AND THE KITTENS ARE GROWING
These Marsh Rodents Will Soon Begin 10
Build Their Houses a Matter of Much
Curious Interest to the Trap0ers.

IHoRoUGHFARE NECK, August 30
Although it is little early in the saa-
son to make a conservative estimate
OF the number of muskrats on the
marshes, old and experienced trainers
are OF the opinion that they will be
plentiful. The season has been very
favorable for them with no bio tides
to drown the kittens, and an abundant
growth of marsh Vegetation which
gives them an abundance of food
AS the rats DO not begin building
their winter quarters for a month or

perlenced trapper can foretel the

was telling some strange things about
muskrats and their habits recently
lie says that if you want an accurate
aud never failing barometer get a
muskrat and keep him in the housa
with you. Whenever storm Is
brewing he will go about and close mn
every open space with whatever he
can lind for that purpose. Mr..
oweetman related an instance when
an old shoemaker kept a muskrst in
his shop. The little creature never
tailed to close every available space
with scraps of leather several hours
before storm came on. A remarkable
reasoning power is shown, according
TO Mr.. Sweetman, in building their
arranged houses. Two
rats are employed in this work one
works inside nd the other ont in
forming the walls of this doma

ing completion the rat inside will
thrust straw through the places that
are not sufficiently builded to exclnda

makes good the defect. The mother
rat, our informant tells us, will if
possible never let her kittens fall into
human hands alive. When she sees
tnat her home is to be destroyed she
Will put her baby rats to death and
then make her own escape. She

stony heart of the trapper and h ad

P4VEMENTS MUST UNDERGO REPAIRS
Over Twenty Names Submitted at MeetinO of

There was barely a quorum present
at The meeting of the Smyrna Town

much important business that needed

OF these was the summary notices that
were to be given property owners to
repair or relay their pavements.

so" and President Reynolds, the
memb bers present did not care TO take
aul action in the matter and on suo-
ge'tlon of Councilman Hudson it was
deferred until next meeting. The
feeling was that the Chairman of the
Street Committee should be present
and report the properties that need at
tentlon and the Council would act
upon his advice in the matter. Under
the ordinance regulating pavements.
a property owner must have thirty
days notice to repair or relay a pave
meut, and Ill case of non compliance
the Council can proceed to have the
work done and collect costs out of the
property. The demand for better
pavements will give the Street Com
mlttee plenty to do this fall and we
understand that the Council means
business and will enforce the ordi-
nance vigorously.
In the absence of President Rev
nolds, the meeting Friday evening
was presided over by Councilman
Wright. Councilman Grleves re.
ported that he had placed an order

TYPHOID FEVER SPREADING IN DOVER
Prevalence Of Disease Caused the Board si

Health to Take Precautionary Steps.
The apparent spread of typhoid fever
IN Dover has caused the local Board
OF Health to take every precautionary
measure toward the prevention of
further spread of the disease. The
town water which was examined some
weeks ago has been examined again.
The result as yet has not been ascer-
tanned. The report of the various
physicians of the town who have ty-
phOid patients, is that the disease has
not been contracted by the town
water but by water from private wells
which have been located near cessDoOls
and surface closets. The local board
acting in conjunction with the State
Board, will use every effort to stamp
out the disease as it at present exists
and prevent any new cases from aris-
ng.

the kenton folks this year, there is .
movement on foot headed with Rsz
D. F. McFaul, pastor of the Ken..,p
NJ. E. Church. to procure a suitable
site for camp grove near this town
There are several groves under con
sideratlOn but the committee is in No
special hurry and will take their time
IN making the wisest and most practie-
able choice. 1t is thought that a camp-
meeting grove properly conducted will
be very popular in this vicinity. for
there is no place within a radlous Of
many miles that the people of this vie
unity can visit without a long tiresoms
drive. A kenton Campmeeting would
draw largely from Hartly, Clayton,
CheswOld, Brenford, Smyrna, and
other points and could doubtless be
made a success. Since the Camden
have been abandoned
the nearest camp to this vicinity has
been at Marydel and Colts and the
success with which -hey have been run
makes some think that camp would
pay here.
