NOVEL USE FOR SKUNK.
Maine Farmer Has Trained One to
 Shoo Away Tramps.

A new method of getting rid of tramps has been discovered by Joseph Quantrain, a farmer and trapper living In the edge of the Nolunkus woods, iD Maine His place is on the direct line used by tramps, and he is so delighted with the way his plan works that he Is advising others to do likewise, says special dispatch from Macwahoc. Me. to the New York World It is not like ly, though, that many folks will adopt his plan of campaign.
 Quantrain had tried all kinds of dogs and had even used a set gun loaded with salt, but the tramps continued to sneak into his barnyard. steal his chick ems anl even invade his cellar. When he was in the fields or woods they would threaten his wife and make themselves thoroughly obnoxious. So one day when he met fellow trapper leading a tame skunk by a chain he got an idea He set box trap, caught a young poleeat and brought it up so that it would treat him with due re, spect, but make its presence known to all strangers.
 He kept it in an old barn at some distance from the house. so that 1t would not salute his friends, and at night let 1t bose ill the front yard, The experiment worked to perfection, for the very first night tramp came in contact with the little animal and beat retreat bowling as he ran. Thereafter he had no trouble with noe turnal visitors. Let one set foot with In tn. yard and he instantly regretted 1t Now and then mistake was made, but In the long run the skunk kept pret- ty close to his assignment. Now, Quan- train says, the tramps have passed the word along that his place Is no poach- Ing ground for one of the fraternity, and they give him a wide berth.

OCTOBER
REUNION OF MULE SkINNERS
Old Plainsmen to Gather at Tonga
 nOxte, Kan.

han
 What will be the first and perhaps tho last reunion of the early day mule skinncrs" and "bull whackers" is to be held at Tonganoxie. Leayenworth county, Kan. during the Old Settlers reunion Aug. 8, Q and 10, and all of these old tcamsterS who aided in set ting the west, fought the Indians and traveled thousands of miles across the prairics before the | Uniou Pacific rail way was built have been extended an invitation to attend says Leaven' worth OIanl special dispatch 10 the St. Louis Republic.
 In the early fftes Westport Mo; Leavenvorth and Atehison, Kan. and Weston and St Joseph. Mo, were out fitting points for transportation com panies. Prairie scuooners by the hua- dreds have gone out of these towns in 6 days time. some drawn by from twelve 10 sixteen oxen, others by from six to ten mules. The mule skinner obtained his name from the long whip With which he could reach out and clip the ear of the head mule if It Jagged. The "bull whaCker" was so dubbed be cause of his long whip, but he was not so fortunate as the mule skinner" In being able to ride behind his team, having to walk along about the center of his line of animals where he could reach each one with his whip. There are old "whackers" who claim to have walked the distance around the world following OK teams across the deserts to Colorado. Texas and California.
 After the Union Pacific drove the prairie schooners out of business the majority of these old time western men settled In the river counties in Kansas, Missouri! and Nebraska, took up home steads and began farming. In Leaven- worth and Atchison counties. in Kan sas. there are said to be no less than fifty aged farmers who came west in the fifties and obtained work driving mule and OK teams over the Kansas prairies in the service of the govern nent or for private companies.
 In all of the river cities In those days these companies maintained big cor rdlS, sOuIe WILL dS LII 9H as @'o aul tldiS, and in the early history of Leaven. worth during the border rufian days it Is told that there were enough prairie schooners there to form a circle com pletely surrounding the town when it was attacked AS late as the early sev- enties OK teams drew loads of lumber and merchandise into Leavenworth, but it is doubtful if there Is now in eastern Kansas such an outfit.
 All of these old plainsmen in Mis- souri, Kansas and Nebraska have been extended an invitation to visit Tonga noxie to renew old acauantances They will be permitted to outline their own programme. which will consist in speaking and story telling of the early days.

ports Sheriff Grant became cow need

Dymonds and that two or three others
were associated with them. It has
been difficult to get proof ag inst
them. for their neighbors have lived IN
mortal fear of having their houses
burned, stock killed and even thcir
own lives endangered IL they gave the
authorities any assistance in getting
the boys. The beginning of the md of
their criminal career or at least 1t is
hoped that such is the case, was last
April when a sheep camp in the low ar
country was cleaned out during The
absence of the herders.
Here is where Clfford's active ca

Justice Nichols and acquitted. the evil

on the charge of perjury, and while
there was little doubt as to their guilt,

A VISIT To THE
CITY BEAUTIFUL
VICTORIA, 8. c., DESERVES NAME
North Yakima People Delighted with
the Parks, Grounds, Fine Homes
and Places of Amusement.

Mr.. and Mrs. Vestal SNYDER have re-
turned from visit to Victoria, 3. c.
which impressed them very favorab1y
In regard to that town as 4 desirabl,
place to visit at this season. Mr.. shy
der said Monday:
I'VE enjoyed our weeks outing very
much. Our first stop was Seattle We
visited the points of interest, which in
cluded visit to the Pacific squadron,
which is now at that port. The trip
to Victoria, 3. c., on the indianapolis
was perfectly lovely, while the city
of Victoria is we'll named /, ictoria the
beautiful with its numerous parks
public amusement grounds and fine
residences They have three tallvho
lines, which make two trips Il day, one
in the forenoon and one in the after
noon, all over the business and resi-
Dental districts of the city. One thing
that impressed me very much was the
fact that the people of ictoria appar-
emily spend as much money on their
lawns and grounds as they do on their
residences I seriously believe that If
resident of the city had 10000 to
spend for home, he would spend $4,000
for the residence and $4,000 for thu,
grounds. Any house of any consr.
quence is practically located within
park, and 1t is amazing what can be
cone in the way of parking with a
very little ground
Il have always been told and be-
lieved until l visited the city, that they
were an exceedingly slow and qu4fli
people. The impression 1 received was
the reverse; at least, I didn't find any
thing slow about them when they were
dealing with me. The business houses
close Saturday afternoons and Wed les-
day afternoons, giving their emp yes
on opportunity to visit the variops
parks and pleasure resorts that are
situated in and about the city, VIII n.
to my mind is commendable. Tue
business houses open at O'clock :
i l this city and l think, close al ,lDDit
the same time as they do here. They
seem to be live and Il wide-awake poo.
p'o. who live chiefly off of tours :. ~
their many hotels and curio shops will
test. The fact that three tallyhoes,
each carrying from fifteen to tw .rt''
tourists from the var )us hotels, IAN
make two trips each Il day would
indicate that they have many visit
tors. In fact, several gentlemen who
reside in the city. told me that the
city was kept up to quite an extent
by tourists.
Il estimate that at least three thous-
and people who reside in or about the
city of North Yakima have taken a
vacation this year. l think a con-
sentative estimate of Yakima money
that has been spent for vacations this
! summer would be twenty thousA nj
dollars; that is to say, we have taken
| from our town twenty thousand dol
lars of our money and given it to other
towns and pleasure resorts, and it oc-
Cured to me while on this trip, that
if we all would stay at home and
spend the money in identifying our
homes and providing the city with
suitable pleasure grounds, the money
would be much better spent the peo-
pie more contented ana the necessity
for these annual vacations, to large
extent, eliminated"
