HER CUB BY
GMAWENG OFF LEG

Chamhord Junction, P. O., Dec. 12.-
Henry Tate, a trapper, got track of a.
silver gray fox and used his utmost
skill to catch the valuable animal. He
set several traps, and was sure that
the fox sprung one of them. Thinking
that the steel jaws We're not heavy
enough to hold SO clever a prisoner, he
finally set a wolf trap nea an old log
and then baited it with a live chicken.
For three days he fed the chicken
without even getting sight Of the fox,
but on he fourth he heard sounds as
he neared the spot. The sounds We're
evidently made by two animals, but
not foxes n he approached cautious
ly. Peering through the bushes he saw
an old bay lynx and an S-months-old
cub directly over the trap. The young
one was crying out with pain, while the
old one now and then snarled and
grunted.
Tate thought that he had both ami
mails in the trap, out he soon saw he
was mistaken, for the old lynx jumped
away a few feet, shifted for danger
signs and then returned to her Off
by a foreleg. She seemed 10 be ex-
ceedingly busy, and the trapper, al,
ways on the lookout for some new
phase of animal life, determined to-
fathom the mystery before he shot the
animals.
Working around to a better point Of
vantage, he observed that the mothen
lynx was liberating the cub by cutting
off its leg with her sharp teeth. AS she
gnaWed the cub squealed, but the par
ent paid little attention to his outcries.
Evidently he hadn't the nerve to do
the job himself, so she a taken mat
tiers into her w hands. She worked
carefully but with determination, and
at the end of a few minutes the lynx
! was free.

Washington. Dec. 12.-In his annual
report made public today Corporations
Commissioner Garfield says in part:
During the investigation of the oil
Industry it was discovered that a very
widespread system OF railway discrim-.
inations existed in favor of the STAN
dard Oil company, affecting a very.
large proportion of the country s.nd re-
sulting substantially in giving to the
Standard Oil company an overwhelm-
ing advantage in transportation in all
most all sections of the country; that
this system had been in existence for
a number of years. and that largely
by virtue of it tsle Standard has been
able to restrict or eliminate competi-
ton throughout many parts of the
country and thereafter reap the bene-
fits of monopoly.
These railway determinations took
various forms, often very ingenious in
their nature, and SO skillfully concealed
that their existence was very rarely
suspected wen by the active competi-
tors OF the Standard, although such
competitors knew that in a general
way they were doing business at I
disadvantage.

PACKAGES BARRED

Washington, d. c., Dec. 11.-No per-,
son hereafter will be admitted to the,
capitol building carrying a satchel or
package. An order to this effect was.
Issued by Sergeant-at-Arms Ransdeii..
A report was current that the action
was due to reports Of the presence In
the city of a number of discharged col
ored soldiers of the Twenty fifth in
fantry who were in an ugly frame OF,
mind. Mr.. Ransdell asserted that there
was no truth in the report. ,
An order Of this kind was enforced,
during the war with Spain, and as SOON
as hostilities ceased 1t was rescinded.i
Tho capitol authorities say it would be
an easy matter under conditions which,
have existed for an anarchist to con-
yey a bomb into the crpitol without,
discovery and to explode it from the,
galleries. 1t is a matter Of p~recaution
to forbid visitors to carry satchels or
packages.
