Wild Animals Returning.

The animals that prey are growing
In such numbers in the northern part
OF the State, particularly In those
natural game preserves, the National
and State parks, that they threaten
the continued existence of animals OF
the hunt. And from the southern
part OF the State, even from such long
settled regions as that about the hig
bend Of the Minnesota, in the neigh.
borhood Of Mankato, st. Peter and
New Ulm, the three historic towns
the wolf from being a we'll nigh ex.
tinct animal has come into his own
again and become a menace.
Suddenly, at the semi-centennial
moment, the State appears to be sup
porting as many fish, flesh and fowl
as it did In Territorial days. The
State will have to assume anew the
determination of wild animals, and
bounties offered will be even more In
demand. There is danger both to
inhabitants and to game in these
depredations. Particularly should
there be concern for the scattered
dwellers in the north of the State who
are anticipating the coming of denser
population, holding down lone claims
and the like.-St. Paul Dispatch.

they bombarded every spot shat rad
kindled into fiame. 'f f1Itr
One by one the houses in the block
burned up and burned out. until the
old house stood alone. Every blaze
that had started upon its caves and
sides had been extinzuished save one.
There was one spot under the caves
at the northeast corner that could not
be bombarded successfully. Unless
the fire at that point was put out all
that had been done were done IN
vain.
The soldiers were equal to the
emergency. A squad mounted to the
roof. One OF the men lay fiat upon
the edge, and while four of his COM
rades held him fast by the legs, he
leaned far 'out over the wide old
fashioned caves. Others passed to
him bottles Of the water charged with
carbonic acid gas. And theve, hang
ing far over the edge of the roof, so
that he might be able to direct the
stream of water on the fire burning
fiercely beneath the caves, he squirted
the flzzing contents of bottle after
bottle, until the last fame and the
last ember were extinguished-and
the house was saved.

WEALTH IN ONIONS.
New Branch of Farming Adds to
Texas Industrial Activities.

New Branch of Farming Adds to
Texas Industrial Activities.
The onion farmer is a comparative
ly new arrival upon the scene of in
dustriaI activities in Texas, says the
Technical World Magazine. lie is
now one of the large contributors to
the wealth of the State. In a little
more than eight years the value of
the annual production of onions in
Texas for the market has reached ap-
proximately S2,000,000. When the
fact is considered that this enormous
wealth is derived from only about
$500 acres OF land, some idea may be
had of the abundance of the yield
and the good prices that are obtained
for the product. Onion growing has
done another thing to help Texas. Il
has been the direct means of adding
more than S2,500,00 to the intrinsic
value of her lands. Inasmuch as the
growers put a good portion of their
annual earnings from the industry
into property Improvements in town
and country the increase of taxable
wealth from this source has also been
considerable.
The wonders which were wrought
by the magic touch of Aladdin's lamp
were no greater than the transfor-
nation which onion growing has
brought to certain portions of Texas
during the last few years. Land
which, from the time of the early
visit of the Spaniards to the Rio
Grande border section, was thought
to be almost worthless, and at the
very most only fit for goat grazing,
Is now bringing in an annual net re-
turn of from $500 to $500 per acre
from the onions which 1t produces.
Before the Inauguration of onion
growing any of this land could have
been purchased at prices ranging from
81 to SO per acre. 1t has now no
established value for the reason that
none of its owners are willing to sell.
They will not fix a value upon the
land. Some of them are free to say
that land which has such large pro.
ducing qualities ought to be worth
not less than $1,000 per acre. Some
of the onion growers say they would
not be willing to accept less than
$4,000 per acre for their lands. Even
at that price the annual net return
Will average nearly twenty-five per
cent. on the investment.

GUARANTEES is NOT A DEBT.
Decision Affects New Philadelphia
Company.

Harrisburg (SpeciaD Deputy At
torney General Cunningham gave
an opinion to Secretary of the Com
monwealth Robert McAfee in which
he holds that guarantee contracts do
not constitute a form of Indebted
ness requiring action by the State.
Some time ago it was brought to
the attentiIn of the department that
the Philadelphia Company for Guar
anteeing Mortgages, incorporated in
May of last year, to engage in the
business of buying, selling, collecting
and guaranteeing payment of ground
rents, mortgages and other real es-
tate securities, was issuing such evil
dences of Indebtedness. The secre-
tary desired to know whether such
evidences of debt came within the
act of 1901, which requires report
of increases of debt to be filed at the
State Department
The law officer holds that the GUAR
anteee contracts issued by the COM
pany are only contingent liabilities
and do not become debts of the cor
poration until the happenings of the
contingency specified therein.

How to Keep Eggs.

BY scientific experiments a fairly
good method has been evolved. SUI
burban Life thus summarizes 1t:
There are several methods by
which eggs are kept in good condition
for several months, but the most sat.
isfactory is that of submerging them
in ten per cent solution OF silicate
Of soda or water glass. A pound OF
water glass may be secured at drug
store, and should be dissolved in one
gallon of cold water and thoroughly
mixed. The eggs should be placed In
the liquid, point downward and@ en-.
tirely under the surface. If there il
any loss by evaporation after time
this should be made good by adding
little water.
This plan has been recommended
because Of its simplicity, and eggs SO
treated will keep in good condition
for nearly a year. 1t should be un'
derstood. however, that only fresh
eggs should be preserved. To secure
the best results they should not be
more than twenty-four hours old

Removing Iron Rust.

Whenever the ordinary hooks and
eyes have been used on light colored
frocks there are almost sure to be
spots of iron rust as result. The
very first thing to do is to rip of the
fasteners and get the rustless kind.
Then rub each spot Of rust with
salts of lemon and wash out thor
oughly. It may be necessary to re-
peat this two or three times, but it Ia
worth the trouble. If you haven't

The Oare of Frocks.

Don't turn your frocks inside out
before hanging them up. AS the out
side is looser than the lining, this
method of hanging produces creases

NOMINATION PAPERS ARE
RULED OUT.
Parties Entitled To Name A Ticket

Harrisburg (speciaD Deputy At
torney General Cunningham gave an
opinion to Secretary of the Common
wealth McAfee, which holds that a
political party having the right to put
up a ticket at the uniform primaries
must exercise that right and connot
come in afterwards and try to nomi-
nate by nomination papers. The
case affects several Prohibition and
Socialist nominees for the Legisla-
ture in the State.
The opinion holds that where a po-
litical party has failed to make a
nomination at the primary which
could have been made at that time,
a candidate cannot be nominated by
nomination papers, on the ground
that vacancy exists in the office;
that the primary law provides for
the filing according to party rules
OF vacancies happening or existing
after the date of the primary, but
that the kind of a vacancy existing
after the primary contemplated by
the act is a vacancy that could not
have been filled by nomination at the
primary.
