Profound ssaaelty Of Rats.

The average rat possesses extraor-
binary sagacity. On a sailing ship
bound to Calcutta from Cape Town
some time ago 1t was decided to try
to reduce the number Of rats which
had boarded the vessel at the latter
port. The end of an ordinary cask
was planned perfectly smooth, coated
with grease, and a meat bait tackled
TO the center. The end was fixed on
with two nails, balanced so that should
anything touch 1t OF the center 1t
would 90 down. The cask was partly
Alied with water and buried in the bal
last to within few inches Of the top.
The first night over zoo rats were
caught, the second night few, the third
none was caught. It was found by the
marks of rats feet In the grease and
the missing bait that they had discov-
cred the exact center, and took the
bait as they liked. Half an inch on
either side of the center meant death.

ORDINANCE GOOD

Court holds that "Iron cIads" are not Per.
Missile Under our Fire Ordinance.
According to the decision Of Judge
Finley, no "Iron Clads" can be built
within the limits designated by the
fire ordinance in Dodge City.
The Fasig case was taken before
Judge Finley at the district court,
and the court found for the city.
The Fasig building consequently
win have to be removed. Several
frame buildings have been construct
cd within the fire limits in the past,
but they happened to be in places
where no objection was made and
they were allowed to stand. This
case will probably prevent any more
building which does not comply
with the provisions Of the fire ordin-

RevaI an Ancient Civ.

Reval, where Russian car and Brit
ish king met not long ago, is de,
scribed as curious outpost of the
Russian empire. It Is the capital Of
Esthonia and stands at the entrance Of
the Gulf Of Finland, about $50 miles
from st. Petersburg. The town ia
mainly German, like all other towns
in Russia's Baltic provinces. and is Of
great antiquity. In 1884 1t acquired
MI the privileges of q Hanseatic city,
According to an old saying, ''Esthonia
was an elysium for the nobility, a
heaven for the clergy, a mine of gold
for the stranger, but a hell for the
peasant" Among the strangers who
settled there and got themselves In
cluded in the Esthonian nobility were
military adventures whose descend
ants still exist under the name Of
Douglas, O'Rourke and Lewis. In ITO
Reval surrendered TO Peter the Great,
who provided 1t with military har.

lieve that the welfare Of the country
depends largely on the election Of
Taft, and o. Republican congress.
The Democrats are putting forth
every effort to grab enough repressn-
tatives to defeat the election Of o
Republican senator in Kansas, and
to pick up congressman or senator
wherever it can be accomplished.
They are after Bristow's scalp in
Kansas. and if they could work any
influence to induce you to vote
against the Republican representa-
tive in Ford county, they would be
causing you to vote against Bris-

believe would be
against the country's interest all the

thing to do, and there would be no
excuse for doing it, because our own
