Trophie, Of tho Chase. q.

In the days when buffalo still roam
ed the plains Of Kansas In countless
numbers great many hunting parties
came over from Europe to have a hand
in their slaughter. One party was COM
posed Of Frenchman named Augnste
Rouzand, the first husband of Christine
Nilsson, the prima donna, and an Eng
ilshman, Mr.. Blackmore, from Lon
don. They arrived at Dodge City one
day in the fall with II carload of equip
ment, including every sort Of dellcacy
that the market afforded and several
large trunks full of bright new butcher
knives. A detachment of the Sixth
cavalry from Fort Dodge was detailed
to accompany them. and probably no!
command ever faxed better than that
one did. The Englishman shot n few
buffalo. and the soldiers slaughtered
them by the hundreds. But the French
man didn't kill one. Instead, as fast
as the animals were shot lie would
take one of his brand new butcher
knives, plunge 1t into the slain animal
until 1t was smeured with blood, wrap
1t carefully in tissue paper and put it
back in the trunk as n trophy Of the
chase to exhibit when he got back to
Paris as proof of his mighty proves
l as hunter. That was his idea Of
sport.-I<ansas City Star.

a GREAT CROP.

George NJ. Chapel. director of the
Iowa crop service, has completed his
estimate of Iowa's corn crop Of 1908.
A revised report of the estimated
corn acreage, made July L." says Mr..
Cappel's report. indicated that the
area planted this year was 1899, $40
acres. or 46s,390 acres, less than
planted in 1907. The average yield
per acre for the state this year was
Sc bushels, making total yield of
3O1, 873.15O bushels. This exceeds the
average yield OF the ten preceding
years by over 10000, 900 bushels. The
average farm price on Dec. was 81
cents per bushel, making the aggre-
gate value $l53, 955, 1905, and the most
valuable crop Of corn ever raised in
this state. Owing to the high tenn
perature and dry weather in Septem-
Der, the late planted, fields were
rushed towards maturity too rapidly
and as a result about ] per cent.
Of the crop is reported as being soft.

the daughter is suffering and the

the Manchester man to assist him in

Thread Used In Surgery.

Are you aware that the modern sur
geon employs in his work dozens of
different kinds of thread for sewing
up cuts and weunds7 Among them
are kangaroo tendons, horsehair, silk
and very fine silver wire. Many of
these threads are intended to hold for
certain number Of days and then
naturally break away. The short,
tough tendons taken from the kanga-
roo, which are used for sewing severe
wounds, will hold for about four
weeks before they break away. Silk
thread will remain much longer, some
times six months, while the fine silver
wire is practically indestructible.
With the entire outfit surgeon Is
able to select thread that will last
as long as the wound takes to heal
and will then disappear completely.
To accommodate this assortment of
threads special varieties of needles are
required. Besides the needle craned
in different segments Of circle, sur
geons use needles shaped like spears,
jayelIns and bayonet points. = st.

THE NEwsRov NUISANCE {
RAILWAY TRAINS.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald in
recent issue printed an article on
the newsboy nuisance on trains. Its
information was gathered from trav-

One drummer told an incident
which came under his notice coming
over from Chicago a day or two ago.
A young fellow was seated across the
aisle from him, and the ''newsie"
evidently spotted him for live

query, "wanta read something

One day lastweek lady alighted

noyance she had suffered from one
of these fresh "newsies." He was
not boy, but man evidently past
thirty years of age. She was travel.

licited to buy something, informed the
vendor that she desired nothing. The

candy up to the faces of the children.
The mother informed him that she

THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

On account of the two adjournments
of the Delaware County Agricultural
society meetings, there has been suf-
ficient time to allow the members
some little thought concerning ar
rangements for coming fairs. 1t
seems to be the prevailing opinion
that the slow races should be dis
pensed with, and make the annual
show purely an agricultural exhibit,
devoting the three or four days in
the interest of the farmer and his
family.
The vaudeville and other side show
performances seem to have lost their
attractiveness, and general demand
for vegetables, stock, household and
merchants exhibits prevalent. These
questions will undoubtedly be dis
cussed at the annual meeting of the
society which is to be held in the
near future, at which time the cleo
ton of officers will take place.

With the acquittal on Saturday by a
Jury at Boise, Idaho of George A. Petit
bone charged with completely in the
assassination of Governor Steunenberg,
another chapter of ridiculous farce has
been closed.
Pettibone, who was a member of the
executive committee of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, together with Charles
H. Meyer. president, and William D.
Haywood, secretary-treasurer, were
charged with completely in the assas-
sEation of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg of Idado, who was killed by
bomb at Caldwell. The men were in
dicted on the confession of Harry Or.
chard, who il is openly charged was hired
fess to having committed the crime.
He said he had been hired to do the
job by Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone,
who held grudge against the ex-Gov-
ernor for calling out troops during a
miners strike in Idaho. Haywood was
tried and acquitted several months age.
The chief witness at his trial, as at that
of Pettibone, was Orchard. Meyer will
probably never betried.
The trials have proven just one thing
that Orchard, the. States starS witness, is
the biggest scoundrel who ever took the
witness stand, he having been proven a
thief, bigamist, perjurer, wife de-
serter-in fact there having been no
crime he would not commit to obtain
money to pursue his favorite occupation
