Saw Rats Freight am Egg.

After an investigation covering two
weeks, William Krohback of Fifth
street has learned the reason he has
been receiving only two or three eggs
a day from his flock of so hens, and
incidentally found out something
about the inventive capacity of rats.
This morning he heard a noise in
his chicken house, and, quietly making
his way there, he saw two big rats in
the act of making away with newly
lying nat on its back with the egg
tightly cIutched in its four paws,
while the other rat was dragging it
along by the tail. Krohbach was so
impressed by the sight that he watch
ed the rodents for three minutes, dur

which they took the egg. One of the
rats became tired while carrying the

MAKE UGLY CHARGES.
Form Basis of Mrs. Mary OIdham's
Suit for Divorce.

If ten per cent of her allegation is
true, the plaintiff in the latest divorce
suit s1entitled to three chances at
the defendant with a shot gum Many
divorce petitions are sensational, but
the charges made aginst her husband
by Mrs. Mary G. Oldham, of 312 Clay
street, are worse than usual.
Mrs. Oldham, widow of Samuel
Oldham, married Francis NJ. Oldham,
brother of her deceased husband, in
1893. By her former marriage, she
had three children, the youngest be-
ing a girl. Therefore, her second
husband was not only the stepfather
of these children, but an uncle and
blood relative. For several years,
the petitioner says, her husband has
exhibited symptoms of moral degen-
eracy and made a practice of telling
the boys that immoral practices were
right. AS soon as the little girl ap-
preached the age of partial develop
ment, he transferred his attentions
to her, making improper suggestions
Mrs. Oldham alleges that the man has
some influence over the girl which re-
sem bles hypnotiSn, and about a year
ago, for the purpose of saving her
daughter, she took the children and
fed to Maryland. Now she has come
back to secure a divorce, and wants
a restraining order to prevent the de-
PENDANT from coming near her or her
little girl.
The plaintiff owns her home at 312
Clay street. Oldham is employed by
the Wolff Packing company.

Denver, Colo, July 9.-Football,

Ira B. Fee, deputy superintendent of
schools of Wyoming, made the prin-
cipaI attack on what he termed the

there is an element Of virtue in foot
ball but in the end it is far too rough.
Football in the secondary schools
is played by boys from ID to 10 years
Of age-boys who have not yet attain
ed full age and development. The
game in itself is exciting and abounds
in opportunities for good team work.
In many ways a great mental acumen
is given by this game. But I believe
that the benefit derived is more than
count by the risk of phys
ieaI injury and this is the almost
unanimous verdict of physicians with
whom I have talked concerning this
branch Of athletics.
