About three years later he became
a pioneer of the Northwest on the
survey Of the Northern Pacific rail-

a miner and cattle raiser.
Besides his business ventures he
was kept busy fighting Indians,

the Apaches in the 10 years follow
ing 1875. He was wounded four
times in Indian fights, and had
three horses shot from under him.
He was even pioneer in parts of
Mexico, locating the camp that is
now Tombstone, Ariz, and making
the first location of Barachuca,
Mex.
1t was in 1883 that Colonel
Greene acquired the copper deposits

IS PLEASED
(Scripps News Association.)

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The
president Is pleased with the Chi
cago reports that packers are
cleaning up as the result of the
Neill-Reynolds' reports. The pack
ers' lobby is disturbed over the re-
port that the president has another
investigation relative to adultera-
lions. A violent shakeup in the
agricultural department Is expected.
The fact that the government. In
spectors allowed filth to gather
under their eyes in the face Of the
recent report from the bureau of
animal industry that everything
was cleaned and sanitary, has
placed the department in a bad
light since the Neill-Reynolds' re-
port and shows the president that
the secretary of agriculture was i'm
posed on.

packers bought rancid butter from

witness, the poorest grade of but.
terine goes to England, being ship
ped to Liverpool.
ut was this same witness who
told of the corruption of young
girls at the yards. He has been
employed there since he was boy,
and was quite willing to give evil
dence, for he said he was going to
seek work outside. He told me of
girls he has known in school who
had been corrupted. He said it was
rather the exception than the rule
for the girls to remain pure in the
rotten atmosphere. He said girls
| were made to fear their bosses or
foremen, and would accept their
attentions rather than face dis
charge.
This state of corroption was cor
roborated by man named Ambroz,
a Socialist member of the Illinois
legislature, who until recently was
a worker in the yards. His two
sisters are there now. They have
told their brother Of the insults of
fered to them and girls at their
sides, and of the degrading abuse
of the men in authority.
Or. w. X. Jaques, head of the
meat inspection, told Mr.. Reynolds
that the great trouble in Packing
town was the lack of laws. Accord
ing to this doctor, 1t is not that the
present laws are not enforced, but
that they are inefficient and that
there should be more stringent
ones. He also told Mr.. Reynolds
that there were five degrees Of
consumption in cattle that could be
passed and used under present
laws and three grades of cattle
with 1umpy jaw recognized as
lawful.
Another one of my witnesses
gave evidence of the lax and indif-
ferent methods of the government
officials. One of the butchers told
Ia story of city inspector who had
an Office in one of the slaughter
houses where he sat comfortably
and smoked a greater part of the
day. He had arranged an apparatus
(which struck a bell at the approach

this sounded that he got up and
pretended to be busy.

Roses as Bait for Rats.
rom the Chicago Chronicle,


The use of choice roses as rat bait is to
be experimental upon by the biological bu-
reau of the departure of agriculture. The
bureau has been informed Of a number Of
cases where rodents that spurned tempting
cheese and crackers were easily enticed by
rose and It is believed that the result
of the experiments proposed by the bureau
will be 10 show conclusively that these fiow-
ers surpass cheese, crackers, rinds of bacon
and other bats that are commonly used TO
entlce the rats into traps.
The use of choice flowers as bait for rats
will, no doubt, be looked upon as unworthy
and degrading by the horticulturlsts and
others interested in plant industry, but
when the great value and importance OF
roses used in this manner is demonstrated
IL is believed they wall take another view
OF the case.
1t is explained that It Is not so much the
taste of roses that attracts the rat as it is
their fragrance, and for this reason roses
are expected to be the popular bait of the
future.
Cases have been known where rodents at
tracted by the sweet perfume of a rose in a
house have gnawed through doors to get
at the flower. Rats have been known to be-
come suspicious of traps with the familiar
bait of cheese and bacon rinds and easily
evade a trap for a long time. From ex

addition to the lengthy list of instances

finding AS clear case as had ever come
before him." he said, as he ordered the
jury to go home.
Possibly the judge was right 1t is well
to remember however. that had all the
cases which have appeared so clear to the
Judges gone as their lordships desired.
more than a few innocent men would have
been sent to the gallows. An instance
comes to mind. one of the most extraor-
binary In the history OF our legal system,
the account of which we owe to the man
who tried and presided over the trial, Lord
Chief Justice Dyer. This was clear
case of murder The victim had been
found stabbed to death in field wood,
by his side the pitchfork with which the
deed had been done. The man who owned
the fork was arrested and the blood
