JACK RABBIT ROUNDUP.
Great Drive Planned for the Protection
of california's Ranches.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Thousands of jack rabbits will be
corralled in a runway and killed next
Saturday, when the ranchmen of the
Antelope valley will hold one of the
greatest rabbit drives in the history
OF the southwest. The drive has been
organized for the protection OF the
ranches. The rabbits, which are more
plentiful this year than ever before
nave eaten thousands Of dollars worth
of alfalfa and have devastated many
small farms.
The men of the valley state that il
the pests are not killed off the region
will not be habitable by next spring
A great migration of rabbits occurred
early in the year. No one knows where
they came from or why they selected
Antelope valley.
The ranchmen went to sleep one night
and dreamed sweet dreams about good
crops. When they awoke they found
themselves in world peopled by jack
rabbits. The lively animals were every
where. jumping out from behind tufts
of sagebrush, cantering through the
alfalfa patches and eating every green
thing in sight.
Hunters were invited to the valley.
The ranchmen threw open their doors
and welcomed every man who carried
gun. Many expert riflemen from
Los Angeles visited the region for the
purpose of making fancy shots with
small calibre arms. A rabbit drive
was organized and several hundred
lacks killed. but that made little or
no impression upon the vast horde OF
jumping creatures in the valley.
At night the great stretch OF country
takes on a weird appearance. A man
cannot walk far without thinking OF
ghosts as he sees the long-eared long
| legged animals go jumping about the
country.
at last the -anchmen decided that
only a gigantic slaughter would solve
the problem. They appointed com.
mittee to take the affair in hand and
plan the biggest kill in history.

PennsyIvania,

Philadelphia, November 5.-Taft
plurality in Pennsylvania, as shown by
complete returns from nearly all of tn ,
81 counties, is close to 100000, of which
Philadelphia contributed 1lo,69O ana
Allengheny county, in which Pittsburg
is situated. about $1,000. The prohibi-
tionists polled 1854 votes in Philade1-
phia, a gain of 34S compared with the
last presidential election, but their
vote in the state, from two-thirds Of
the counties heard FROM shows slight
falling off. The socialists polled 5l52
votes in this city, gain of 1898.
They made a net gain of 90 per cent
in 3S counties where the count is COM
pleted. The socialists labor vote in
Philadelphia totalled 213 and the in
dependence party polled 254. The vote
of these parties in the interior counties
so far heard from did not reach 100 in
any one county.

FRENCHMEN HONOR
WILBUR WRIGHT

Paris, November 5.-Frenchmen united
this evening in honoring Wilbur Wright,
the American aeroplanist, whose remarka-
BILE achievement during the past few
months in this country has placed him
in the FOREFRONT of the men who have
been solving the problem Of navigating
the air.
Mr.. Wright was the guest of honor at
the dinner of the Aero Club of France
at which NJ Jean Barthou, minister of
public works, presided, and the occasion
was made more memorable by the pre-
sentation to him of the Aero clubs gold

Church Fails to Get Fund.

New York, November 5.-The Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills, pastor. of Ply
mouth church, Brooklyn, denies a re-
port that the whereabouts of Mrs. c..
w. Wallace of Chicago have been un
known since 1908, when she offered d
contribution of $4,000 to the Beech err
memorial fund. Dr. Hills said that
Mrs. Wallance's mental condition at the
time of the offer was such that she
was taken to Chicago and placed in n
sanitarium and that the members of
her family know where she is. The
circulation of report that she was
missing is believed by DR.. Hills TO
have arisen from his explanation of
the failure of the church to receive the
$4,000 contribution

GERMANY CANNOT
RISK CONFLICT

Paris, November 5.-1he Temps is OF
the opinion that the present situation IN
Europe makes it absolutely impossible
for Germany to risk armed conflict.
1T would be browning imprudence,
this paper says, "for Prince Won Buelow
to risk war when Austria Hungary is
absorbed in the near east; when the
Balkan states are ready to close the
German roads to the eastward, and when
Russia, aroused by a wave. of Slavisn,
is prepared to seek national revenge.
France, morally and from military
point of view, is capable of defending
her dignity; Great Britain is indisputa-
bly, supreme at sea. and Italy is less and
less disposed to sacrifice herself in the
cause of another state.
In conclusion. the Temps advises the
government to publish the French case
to the world.

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, November with the of

city and 81 out of 20 counties complete
and estimating the missing districts
on the basis of the unofficial returns
Taft has an apparent plurality tonight
of 1T6. The indications were that
seven Bryan and one Taft electors had
been chosen,
According to the figures Bryan re-
ceived 115,7S2 votes and Taft 1888.
This result, if borne out by the COM
pleted official count. is precise dupli-
cation of what occurred in the presi-
Dental election of 1904, and the rea-
than democrats marked their ballots for
the first named elector only. This is con-
the first name elector only. This Is con
sidered to be due chiefly to the ballot
law which prohibits the party emblem

for governor, but exact figures were
slow in coming in. The immense bal
lot which had compelled the making of
special boxes and some increases In
the booths was in part responsible for
this slowness, but the large number OF
Taft Harmon votes cast caused much
of the difficulty
Taft carried Ohio by probably over
10000, while Harmon won by about
10000.
Meagre figures on minor candidates
indicate the probable victory of all

The republicans also are believed to

act figures are lacking.
1t is reasonably sure that the three

not because of lack of the proper pro-
portion of such votes, but because they
did not in the aggregate reach any

Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City. November 5.-That
Bryan's plurality in Oklahoma may reach
10000 is Indicated by complete returns
from 45 of the 70 counties received tonight.
These gave Bryan 1881. Taft 76.61o, Debs
1900. Watson 214, Hisgen 60. BRYAN s
plurality 13,2O1
The bill providing for the sale of the
states 100000 acres of school lands has
been defeated by 1900 majority. BY a
majority even larger the state liquor
agency measure is disapproved.
Late returns on the legislature show
that the house will consist of 70 demo-
Gratis and 80 republicans and the senate
of 80 democrats and 80 republicans.

Indiana.

indianapolis, November 5-Fred A.
Sims, acting chairman of the republican
state committee, late tonight claims the
election of the republican state ticket,
with the exception of governor and attor-
ney general, by small plurality. His es-
innate is based on 90 of the 81 counties,
both official and unofficial returns. The
democratic state committee claims that
their entire state ticket is elected. The
official vote will probably be required to
determine the result
That Taft has carried the state on the
national ticket, and Thomas R. Marshall,
democratic candidate for governor, has
been elected. is conceded by both sides.

California.

San Francisco. November 5.-Returns
from 1902 out of 1854 precincts with an ag-
gregate total vote of 1892 shows a plur-
ality of 74,276 for Taft. The precincts still
to report will probably increase Taft
lead, so that the official count will show
d plurality of more than 1900.
In 1904 the vote of Roosevelt in CALI
fornia was 2O5. 226, Parker So, 405, Debs g.
535. Swallow, prohibtionist, 1850.
From the present appearances the COM
bined votes of Debs and Hisgen will not
be so great in the state this year as the
vote for Debs in 1904
The prohibition vote seems TO nave

Object of Order.

The object of the Pilgrims is the pro-
motion of the sentiment of brotherhood
among the nations and especially the Gull
tivation of an unwritten friendship be-
tween the inhabitants of the United
States and of the British empire. Those
relations, which have undergone a great
many family tiffs in the last 800 years.
have, to the best of my knowledge, rarely
been so pleasant as at this time, and
doubt not that the work of the Pilgrim
society and the good fellowship it has en-
gendered have done much toward furth-
erng the unity of the greatest republic
of the world, and that empire to which
is attached one-fifth of the worlds peo-
pie. There have been times when, from
the point of view of John Bull, We should
have felt a little happier if instead of
the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock had lander ON the Pill
grims
There have been times also, as on the
occasion when the ladies os the United
States fitted out hospital ship for the
help of our soldiers in the South African
war, when we have realized that after
all, there is something in the statement
that blood is thicker than water.
I do not remember that any other
people ever fitted out a hospital ship for
us, though there was a good deal of talk
Of fitting out ships of another description.
