RATS MUST GO
Department of Agriculture Says Determination of Rodents
 Would Benefit Country
WORST PEST KNOWN

Washington. May 29.-The great destruction wrought by rodents is pointed out in a statement which has just been issued by the department of agriculture on Methods of De- stroying Rats" It declares that An infallible method of extermi- nation of these rodents would be worth more to the people of the Unit. ed States in single decade than the department of agriculture has cost since its establishment
 It says the brown rat is the worst mamalian pest in existence and adds:
 eff for each COW, horse, sheep and hog on the farms or the United States the farmer support one rat on grain, the toll levied on the cereals by these rodents would reach the enormous total of $10O,000, ,000 a year.
 Their prolificness is the chief ob- stacle to their extermination. If three filters of ten each are produced every year, single pair, breeding without check and without losses by death, in three years would be rep resented by ten generations aph would number 20,155,392 indi- viduals. The eleventh generation, due at the beginning of the fourth year, would number over hundred million"

YEAR WITHOUT SUMMER.
Waterbury Woman Has Newspaper
 Clipping Telling Of It.

It is long time ago since we had year without a summer, but 1t seems such things are not unusual as will be seen from the following newspaper clipping which Water bury woman has in her scrap book:
 Tn the year of 1816, 86 years ago. there was sharp frost in every month of the year in the northern states. It was known as the year without the summer. The farmers used to refer to is as eighteen hun dred and starve to death. In May ice formed half an inch thick in Hartford, buds and flowers were frozen and corn was killed in the ad- jacent towns. Frost, ice and snow were common in June throughout Connecticut and snow fell five inches deep in New York, and in Massachu- setts ten inches on June 19. On June 5 ice formed to the thickness of window glass in Canton and through out New England and Pennsylvania. Corn was nearly all destroyed in many sections. In August ice form ed half an inch thick in Litchfield. A cold northern wind prevailed near ly all summer with heavy rainfalls. Corn was frozen so that the greater part of it was cut down in fodder. Farmers were obliged to pay $4 or $5 a bushel for corn of 1915 for seed for the next springs plant" It looks now as if we were about to have a repetition of the kind of weather they had in 1916, but you never can tell what change day may bring in the weather in this part of the country.

IMMIGRANTS AT WINNIPEG.
Canadian City Where Fifteen Lan'
 euaaes Are Spoken.

Winnipeg is where they do things. This is really the place where the frontier was abolished by the real estate regicides. A kingdom is sold daily in Winnipeg. an army Is marched in to occupy 1t over night
 The yards of the Canadian Pacific railway alone in Winnipeg have over 120 miles of trackage. and they need it. The immigrants come by battiion -Englishmen in caps. Scotchmen in bonnets. Breton French in blue coats, Germans. Swedes. Norwegians. Aus trians. Mennonites. Galacians-all manner of furtive folk and wild.
 There are IS known languages in the Winnipeg schools. and a lot too late to classify. When you see stranger you cannot tell whether or not he Is within the range of human speech. You bitterly reflect only that he Is one of those who have wiped out the old frontier. lest 1t forever to those who love the wilderness.-out- ing Magazine.

CZOLGOSZ AGAIN
Brother of Slayer of Mckinley Said 10 Be in Canton to
 Attend Funeral.

Cleveland. O.. May 20.-The govern ment secret service officials place lit- tie credence in the story published this morning to the effect that Michael Czolgosz, brother of Leon CzoIgosz, the assassin of President Mckinley is now in Canton.
 Peter c. Dick. chief of the local secret service bureau said: q have heard nothing concerning the matter except what have read in the news papers. The statement that we are looking for Michael Czolgosz is not true. Even though the man has gone 10 Canton I see no reason for any alarm on that score Though of course IT he is there he will doubtless be To. cated and watched"
 The local police officials express nol interest in the report that the brother of the assassin would attend the fun- eraf of Mrs Mckinley,

GONE TWO MONTHS
Friends and Officials Give This Party of Forty Fishermen
 Up For Lost.

North Sydney. c. B., May D. Forty French fishermen have been given up as lost by the officials at St Pierre, Mid. according to dispatches from that place. The men were members of the crews of the schoo- ners Eli Girardin and L. E. Fleme. which left St Pierre for the Grand Banks two months ago.
 From that day to the present there has been nothing heard from either vessel. So anxious were the owners for the safety of the crews that the French warship Destries, which ar rived lately from France, was or dered to the fishing grounds in quest of the schooners, but yesterday re- turned with no tidings of the long overdue vessels and all hope of ever hearing from them has been given up.
 It is thought that the schooners were wrecked in the easterly hurri- cane which swept the banks on April 8.
 The warship on her return from the banks picked up the French bark Heron Delle, owned by J. Allain of Granville, France, which was badly damaged in a collision at sea with the brig Anna Maria. Both vessels suffered severely and were in a crip- pied and dismasted condition, the former faring very badly, necessitat- ing the assistance of the warship to take her to St Pierre. The brig, however, managed to reach the French colony unaided.

KILLED BY TYPHOON
Particulars of the Catastrophe in the Caroline Islands a
 Few Days Ago.

Victoria. B. C., May 29.-Further advices regarding the disastrous ty- phoon in the Caroline islands recently reported by cable from Sydney, Aus tralia, were received here in the mails from the Orient The typhoon passed over the Caroline group on March 28, and hundreds of people were killed by the waves which swept over the smaller islands. The saved were mostly those who had climbed cocoanut trees. The ty- phoon extended as far west as Guam
 At the Manila observatory on March 30 the typhoon was registered as be- ing northeast of Tap in the western Carolines. March 31 it was found to be north of Yap, indicating a dangerous situation in the southern part of the Carolines and the Philip pines. The accuracy of the obserya- tion from the Manila observatory were confirmed on receipt of advices from Tap and the Carolines. The island of Ulie was entirely destroyed and the waves which passed over this island killed 200 people. Heavy loss of life was reported from other islands. Some were entirely covered and natives were rescued days after1 wards, clinging to the tops of cocoa nut trees. On Wilson island 20 peo- pie were killed and on Sirol, of Philips island which lies between Tap and Ulie, 50 people perished. The majority of the islande were deso- lated and the loss is said to be great.

ciRcuMsTaRTlaL EVIDENCE.
Jabez Enjoyed the Pone Pudding and
 the Cat Got the Punishment.

The late Senator Pugh, of Alabama. practiced law for many years in Flu faula. A Eufaula man said of him the other day:
 Tn an eloquent speech on circum- stantial evidence I once heard Sena- tor Pugh drive home the danger of this sort of evidence with . good story.
 He said that a Eufaula woman made one of those corn pone buildings for which the ladies of our state are famous. She put the pudding on . shelf to cool and then she went out to have dress fitted. Her little son Jabez was left alone in the house.
 "Jabez played with his toys till he got hungry. Then he put chair be- meath the shelf. climbed up and ate all of the delicious pone pudding that his small interior would possibly hold. To conclude, he did strange thing.
 He caught the cat. dabbled her four paws in the soft yellow custard in the bottom of the dish and then set her down. She scampered through the kitchen into the dining-room and parlor and thence out of doors. On the bare boards of the kitchen. on the dining-rooms red carpet and on the parior's carpet of green she left i'm partially small golden footprints, very neat. very conspicuous. The boy smiled softly to himself.
 And that evening, on his fathers return he heard wild scampering be- low, the banging of the front door. a terrific moving and the sharp crack of a rife.
 Then little Jabez smiled softly to himself again.
 "'Ah, mel he said. there goes an. other victim of circumstantial evi. dence."

To Distribute Lands.

Madrid. May 29.-The government has elaborated and submitted to par liament a scheme for the distribn- ton of the uncultivated lands be- longing to the state to the communes so as to allow each head of a family desiring to do so to take up a suf- ficient area to maintain his family. The land would be granted to the inhabitants of the, communes on the payment of 25 per cent of its actual value, the whole amount of the pur- chase money to be repaid in fifty years. The plan involves the organ ization of cooperative societies to aid the colonists in securing and ex. plotting the lands.

Senator HaIe's Story Gives Neat Re

Senator Hale had been inveighing at dinner against long speeches.
 But, senator" said congressman, you can't accuse me of ever having made too long a speech, can you?"
 Senator Hale smiled.
 Perhaps not" he said; "and again. But did you ever hear about the tenn perance lecturer? No?
 Well. you must know that there was temperance lecturer in Maine who came to Ellsworth and lectured. He hit out pretty hard from the shoul- der at these so-called moderate drink CTS and at the end of his remarks an Ellsworth man took him aside and said In an aggrieved tone:
 Look here. Jim; am moderate thinker. as all the town knows. and to many people 1t is going to seem as if good part of your lecture was pointed at me. What did you want to. do 1t for, Jim? You never saw me with more on board than I could carry
 Whats that? said the temperance lecturer.
 You never saw me with bigger load than I could carry. did you?'

SIGNAL CORPS BALLOON.
Now in Washington and Will Soon
 Be Given Test.

Washington, May 29.-The new balloon for the signal corps of the army, ordered specially manufac- tured in New York some months ago, arrived by freight from that city yes- terday and will be given a trial test before acceptance next week if the weather conditions permit.
 Captain Charles DeF. Chandler, the aeronautic expert of the corps, will make the ascension test, accom- panied by the maker of the ballon and his assistant.
 The new balloon is built to use coal gas as the lifting power. It is planned to give the personnel of the signal corps pratcice in free bal- looming as distinguished from "captive ballooning."
 In actual use in time of war the balloon would be captive, but should 1t break away from its moorngs, fa- miliarity with free ballooning will be essential.

 In moments of surprise or nervous excitement the reporters stammerIns always became acute. so he stood with jaws locked. vainly trying to speak.
 Mir. Morgan began to fume, and finally he sputtered:

 The reporters sense of humor did not share the clogging up of his speech, and. after much facial con tortion. he managed to gurgle out:
