Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1907-11-28

There is to be an epidemic of rail
way regulation legislation in the vari-
u legislatures throughout the United
States during the coming winter. Last
winter there was an epidemic OF two
cent-a-mile fare laws. The New York
public utilities law, for which Gov.
Hughes is responsible, and which is
very sweeping in its provisions, is like
ly to be used as a model. The officials
of the New York Public Service Com
mission have been deluged with in
quiries for information and applica-
tons for copies of the law from every
corner of the country, and the fact that
the railway managers in New York
have accepted the extreme forms of
regulations provided in that law will
be used as an unanswerabIe argument
against any opposition that may be
raised elsewhere.

The prompt acquiescence Of the
banks in the suggestion of the Treas
ury Department that other securities
might be deposited with the treasury
to take the place of government bonds,
which latter could thus be used for
taking out additional circulation. has
considerably augmented the currency
available for commercial use.

Wide Ranue 81 Wolves,

The range OF a pair OF wolves is an
area Of from six to ten miles square.
When the hunter learns that wolves
have been seen and heard In a certain
locality, it may take several days Of
scouting before the dogs can be got on
the trail. The hunter must look sharp
for signs in soft or sandy places and
along creeks and streams. The old
lady wolf will. as rule, go to the
nearest water to drink when leaving
the den or to get drink as she re-
turns from the hunt before going to
the den. and its locality is often found
on account Of that habit. A wolf
track can be distinguished from that
OF a dog because the two front toe
nails are set farther ahead, making the
track more pointed. When wolves are
running, and especially IL frightened,
these toes spread apart. making a track
that at a hasty glance looks very much
like the track Of "a deer. Fur News.

B$ The store of the Dickinson Mercan-
tile Co. was burglarized between the
hours of 2 and 5 a. m. Wednesday
Entrance to the store was made
through the front door, after break
ing the heavy plate glass. The burg
lar made his way to the clothing de-
partment and helped himself to a
suit OF clothes, which seems to be
the only article missing from the
store. During the same night, Dren-
kel's store was entered by burglars,
who, from all appearances, did con-
siderable rummaging around, but, as
far as can be ascertained, took moth
ing from the building. The cash. reg
lister had been moved and the safe
had been tempered with, although
neither We're injured in any way. 1t
has been reported that George Dom
aldson's ranch at Custer Trail was
visited the night previous and it
seems that quite a little business in
this line has been carried on in this
state for the past few weeks. .

Animal Cleanliness.

a BIOLOGIST thus writes upon a point
in which he claims that the lower ami
mails set an example to many men,
says Chums: 44.
1T has taken human beings many
hundreds Of years to acquire habits Of
neatness and cleanliness, whereas the
animals have always possessed them.
From the time when they FIRST made
their appearance on earth animals have
washed and combed and brushed them
selves with tongue, claws and tail.
Many OF them grow wretched and Ian
gulsh Il deprived Of any opportunity
OF taking cold bath. AS for the apes,
they are such sticklers FOR cleanliness
that they expel any member OF the
tribe who shows disposition TO shirk
his duties In this respect. Even the
insects show scrupulous regard for
neatness. as anybody who has watched

CAMPBELL RANCH
IOWA PARTIES HAVE PuRcHAs-
ED THE FAMOUS EMMoNs \.
COUNTY SHEEP RANCH !,

Hazelton Republican: The "a 'tccc% Of
one of the largest and best known
ranches in the county was consum-,
mated last week when Dugald Camp
bell sold to Dennison, Ia, parties
tire ranch where he has so long made
his home. !. xsz# (. 81 81. 4. ,.5
This property consists of 8, 800 acres
of farming, grazing and hay land,
and has numerous substantial build
ings and other improvements. 1t is
the intention of the purchasers to
cut the ranch into small tracts and
offer them for sale. We have not
been informed as to the price re-
ceived, but understand that it was
close to $40 per acre.
Mr.. Campbell and family have
made the ranch their home for many
years and are now leaving it only for
the purpose of getting better school
privileges for their children. Their
many pioneer friends and neighbors
hope that the sale does not mean
that the family will remove from the
county.

EARTHWORMS.
The Anatomy and the Habits OF These
Peculiar Creatures. l


The Anatomy and The Habits Of These
Peculiar Creatures.
The earthworm is peculiar crea-
tnres It is constructed lii segments
which may number from so to 100
or even more Near the middle Is a
hard spot called the girdle. The thir-
ty-three segments In front OF the Cir
die are used for purposes Of locomo-s
ton; they are the pullers, while the
Hsegments behind are the anchors or
spusherss Grasp the tail end OF the
worm and draw the rest Of the body
slowly across the Il finger: You Will find
"a peculiar sensation.
n The sensation is that produced by q.
small tslss & Is caused BY four double
rows Tow Of thy bristies extending the
whole length Of the animal on It's ven-5
trail surface TO the inner end Of each
bristle are attached small muscles, by
which it can be pointed either forward
or backward. These bristles, there
fore, not only render the yentral sur
Eface rough, but also serve as very sim
pleappendagest to assist the longitudinal
and circular muscles I'M focomot don.
This simple, everyday worm has a
mouth, brains. q pharynx, crop, a
nervous system, q blood circulation, a
gullet, q gizzard, stomach, intestines,
reproductive organs. But 1t has no
heart and Is without eyes. It As tooth

many kidneys as it has segments.
Imagine this little animal having 200
kidneys, while we get along with two!
Earthworms rarely come out of their
burrows except at night; hence, al
though they have no eyes, they can
distinguish light from darkness. They
! take in certain substances for food and
refuse to take others, which indicates
that they can taste or SMELL or both.
Try the experiment of cutting an
earthworm in two. Both ends will
wiggle about for awhile. That portion
behind the girdle, however, soon dies,
But the forward end, which has the
brain, will often develop new seq.
