The first rabbit drive ever made on
Agency Plains will be undertaken by
the farmers of that section December
II and preparations are being made
to insure the success Of the drive,
! says the Madras Pioneer. A large
killing corral will be built with wings
extending a quarter Of mile on each
side of the corral so that the rabbits
can be driven into the corral, 2-foot
wire netting being used for the wings
and 4-foOt netting for the corral. The
drivers will assemble early Monday
morning, December IA, at A. Mon
ners farm, and the drive will start at
the north end of Agency Plains and
cover large territory south and east
of that point. No dogs or guns will
be allowed.
The Indians from the Warmspring
reservation have been invited to come
over and participate in the drive and
| II is expected that large number will
avail themselves OF the invitation.
The drive will begin on the 14th of
December and will be continued as
long as the success of the undertaking
warrants.
The rabbits have become more nu-
merous i'm this section than they have
been in a number of years. Several
years ago the rabbits throughout this
section were almost extermnated by
disease which made great ravages
in their ranks. Experts from the gov
ernment biological departments were
sent here TO investigate the disease,
with view to utilizing it for ridding
other sections of the rabbit pest by
incubation, but the disease baffled
the experts who were sent to investi-
gate It and the matter was not pur-
sued further. The disease. seems
however. to have spent its force and
in the past two years there has been
an alarming increase in the number
of rabbits. In the past year many
farmers i'm the more sparsely settled
districts have complained that their
crops were entirely destroyed by the
some damage from these pests. 1t is
this condition of affairs which has
aroused the farmers to action and an
effort will be made to rid the country
OF rabbits by a series of drives. II
ia expected that i'm the first drive on
Agency Plains several thousand rab-
bits will be corralled and killed.

TYPEWRITER TAKES PLACE
OF PRINTERS OUT ON STRIKE

Cleveland, O.-The strike Of the
printers on the two local Hungarian
papers, the Hungarian News and the
Hungarian Szabadsag, has had the re-
suit Of producing one of the most nov
el publications ever issued here.
Typewriting was the basis upon
which the editor of the Szabadsag, Il.
p. Kohanyi, was able to produce his
paper The typewriter sheets were
photographed and from the photo
graphs printing plates were made the
same as a photograph is engraved for
the purposes OF printing.
The engraving OF the typewriter
sheets were placed together in con-
secutive order and from these the pa
pers were printed.
While the idea employed by Editor
Kohanyi reverted to the ancient meth
cd of handwriting, yet this system
was made rapid and practical by
means of the modern typewriter. en-

Our little daughter, six years Of age,

ARREST WOMAN OWNER
OF RICH OPIUM DEN

Pittsburg, PA beautiful, well
dressed young woman, giving the
name of "Clara Ward" of Washing
ton, d. c., was held as witness
against Arthur Meyers, a Hungarian,
who is charged with running a high
class opium den for the benefit of rich
young women of Pttsburg. The police
profess the belief that Clara Ward is
the daughter of a wealthy Washing
ton family, who has been led to Pitts
burg through the drug administered
by Meyers, and that she was about
to be used to lure young women into
the den.
Meyers place, which was fitted up
in costly style, was raided by the po-
lice. Meyers was arrested with Clara

MILLION OF LIVES LOST.
The Awful Toll Collector by Consump-
ton.

II people could only understand
that catarrh is a nlnternal scrofula
that nothing applied externally does
much good-they would not need to
be warned so often about this fatal
disease, which, when neglected, in
variably ends up in consumption, at
the cost of millions of lives every
year. Yet catarrh is easily cured II
the right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies
give but temporary ease. Although
the effects are often seen in the form
of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly
skin, the trouble Is internal, and can
never be cured by eternal remedies.
The only way to cure catarrh Is by
employing a medicine which Is alb
sorbed and carried by the blood to all
parts of the system, so that the mu-
cous membrane or internal lining Of
the body Is thoroughly medicated,
soothed, disinfected of germ matter,
and the soreness healed.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription Of physician who
for 80 years studied and made catarrh
a specially and whose record of sue
cess was cure in every case where
his treatment was followed as pre-
scrbed That remedy is Rexall Mucu-
tone. We are so positive that 1t will
cure catarrh in all its various forms
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid
us for the medicine in every case
where 1t fails to cure or for any rea-
son does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rex
all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes.

THE CRUDE SYSTEM
OF INCUBATION
PrdCtICed in Cases of Small
pOX Back in the Year
OF 1889.

A friend, handed a representative
OF The Leader, part of paper pub
llshed in New London, Conn, in Au-

vertlsement appeared, which will be
OF Interest to many on account OF our
recent smallpox scare:
INCUBATION.

pox by incubation are informed. that
the Hospital near the city wilt be
ready to receive patients by the tenth
OF September, where they will have
good accommodation and constant at
tendance Simun Wolcort

1t sounds strange to those OF the
present time, the idea of being inocu
lated for the smallpox from patient
suffering in a hospital and being con-
lined with the patient until recovery
or death. But 1t must be remembered
that it was before the discovery of
vaccination by Jenner, and they did
the best they knew how and probably
saved many lives by the crude system
OF incubation.

CHANGED HIS TUNE.


The people will not take kindly to
Senator Sanborn' 8 announcement of
the names of delegates atlarge to the
republican national convention. The
matter of selecting such delegates Is
amply provided for in the primary
election law, and being so provided
for it looks mighty conspicuous to see
the names of the distinguished gentle
men who are now selected for that
honorable position, in the public press
months in advance of the holding uf
the primary election What makes
the announcement Of their candidates.
at that time appear all the more rid
Iculous Is that it is made by Senator
Sanborn of Ashland, man who as
senator supported the primary law in
the legislature with vote and voice.
The Courier supported the law under
the belief that it would annlnilate the
boss and leave all matters pertaining
to the selection of candidates and del
egates TO the people. 1t now looks
as if we made bad guess as to the
effects of the law when the test is APP
piled, and that instead of shearlng
the boss of his power it has put mus
Gle and power into him. But what
will. the people say about the way the
law has been clrcumvented and they
fooled? After struggling for years
to rid themselves of the boss, after
making tremendous sacrifices to &C
complish this purpose, they now find
that all their struggles and sacrifices
have come to naught, and the only
thing they have accomplished Is an
exchange of bosses, the new ones be-
ing almost like the old unes, the only
difference being that the new ones
operate under d more deceptive gsrb.
According to recent political develop
ments, the primary election law facil-
itates the work of the boss instead OF
hinderiug it. If few politicians
can come together and fix up state
undeI the primary law precisely as
they did before it's enactment, what
useful purposes does the law serve
1t costs nearly hundred thousand
dollars every two years TO carry its
provisions out, and it the law is
inadequate to accomplish the purpose
for which it was designed, is it not
the height of improvldence and folly
to retain it?-Stoughton Courier.

robbed of over SO, OOO, 900 in over
charges by the railroads IN carrying

with large corps Of high saIaried
officers in the post office department,
that in all the years that have passed
no effort has been made to correct
the matter. The postmaster general,
his assistants and employees may teeI
that it is none of their business TO
ferret out and correct abuses. 1t is
