Especial to The Gate City.]
REVERE, Mo-, Jan. 4.-W. A. Price,
the saw mill man, brought in from the
woods the other day real live water
snake. The reptile had crawled out
in the snow from a hollow tree and
was barely able to wiggle when Bill
came along and got the scare of his
life. Mr.. Price at first thought to kill
the snake. but thinking of the reputa-
ton Of DR.. Cook, says II resolved to
bring Mr.. Esquimo with me- The
snake was thoroughly chilled when
brought to town, but after receiving
a wood alcohol bath and thorough
warming by the stove, was able to
put up a lively fight. Mr.. Price. after
proving to the citizens that his find
was real and not a fake, dispatched
the snake and hung him across the
fence

Cooks arctic hunt. Who knows whose

mystery of the evening and furnished
no end of amusement. Each guest
was furnished with a free will offer

MAYOR PRATT
TAKES EXCEPTION
Does Not Asee With James J. Hill
About the Increased Cost
of Living.

SPOKANE. Jan. 3.-Nelson S. Pratt.
mayor of Spokane, successful farmer
and lumberman in the Mississippi val
ley and the Pacific northwest, takes
exception to the sweeping statement
by James J. Hill, that the present
high cost of living is chargeable to
the extravaganza, carelessness and
lack of thrift of the agricultural
classes of the country, saying:
4 I am more than surprised that a
man with the understanding and OBJ
servation of Mr. Hill should undertake
to make such broad charges in view
iof the fact that the methods of quar-
ter of a century ago are not to be COM
pared to the present system of farm
ing. There is nothing to bear out
Mr.. Hills contentious.
"As a result of a recent visit of the
largest districts in the middle west
ern and Pacific states, I am prepared
to say there has never been time
when general farming was conducted
along more economical lines tnan at
present. In fact, the methods of today
are maryels to those who farmei land
and thorough then as are the farmers
of today, we certainly would have been
equally successful
at is not overstating the case when
say that the modern grower con
ducts his farm along the same lines

ness establishment, and as a result
he is not only making good living
and educating his children but is also
putting money into improvements, as
well as into the bank.
1T is idle talk to charge the higt
cost of living to the farmer, as it mus
be plain to any one who has studied
the subject that at least three cause,
contribute to increasing prices of thu
necessities of life. The large produc
ton of gold during the last few year
is an important factor, in that it ha
resulted in making money cheap, and
to a great extent, no doubt, is re
sponsible for increases in prices
Cheap money means high prices.
Perhaps the greatest factor in tn
high cost OF living is the tariff. whfc
enables manufacturers to combine an
compel the consumers to pay enorn
Gus and unreasonable prices. Sue
farm products as beef and pork ar
controlled entirely by the socalle

greater than the supply. also learn
ed from reliable sources that these
products are almost entirely controll-
ed by combinations and not by the

'Ihold no brief for the-farmers of the
country, but from an experience of al
most a lifetime as farmer, born and
raised on a farm, know that the sys-
tenn employed during my time holds
comparison to the present methods
of farming. Extensive agriculture with
the use of water supplied by artific-
ial means, was then largely an ex-
pertinent, and so-called dry-farming
or more properly soil and moisture
conservation, was in its very infancy
The methods are successes today. The
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations have also been and are strong
factors in advancing the industry.

period prior to 1894, when there were

BELIEF IN WITCHCRAFT.

Belief in witchcraft is still so fast rooted in parts of India that unfor- tunate persons suspected of the black art are not uncommonly done to death.
 In Bengal last year several cases of the kind came before the courts In the SOnthal Paraganahs a woman was murdered by her mother and brother, who believed her to be a witch.
 In Palamau man was killed. as the villagers held that he was a wiz ard. In another case two women were murdered on the bare suspicion that they had caused the death of three children by cholera. Human sacrifice also is still practiced among the un- civilized tribes of Bengal
 In Angul some Khonds sacrificed a girl as q propitiatory offering against cholera, and in Palamau boy was enticed into the jungle and killed as sacrifice. There can be little doubt that any relaxation of vigilance would result in a serious increase of witch killing and human sacrifices.

NAVY BLUE FOUlARDS.

The pOlka-dOt foulard may be truly called the craze of the hour. and some of the combinations are strik- ing odd. One suit is made of white mohair and navy blue foulard. showing white polka dots. The skirt of blue and white foulard is trim med with a blue band of white mo- hair. This band is about five inches wide and placed on the skirt about six inches from the bottom. The coat of the suit is white mohair. lined with blue polka dot foulard. the lin- ing forming the facing of the shawl collar. At first sight the costume seems too odd to be pleasing. as it has been so long since d white coat has been worn with dark skirt that we are unaccustomed to the com bnation.
 One of the handsOmest suits of foulard and serge is made of a dark blue serge with coat lining. collar and cuffs made of navy blue showing white polka dots. This is one of the most stylish fads of the hour
 Dark foulard lining is used on coats of all colors. One smart foulard pat tern is dark blue with polka dots in Alice blue. These foulards are used as Things for pongee and line coats in natural color or drab. white or light blue coats. Of all polka-d lm- ings. the navy blue, with white or Alice blue dots, is in greatest demand

HOW ID ERADICATE
 THE MOSQUITO PEST
A Comparatively Well Known Rem edy But One That Is Not
 Used Enough.

The following observations are not original nor arc they entirely new but the return of the mosquito season makes them timely. for they are facts. and facts that cannot be impressed too strongly on Phoenix people, until such time as the voters have given to the city the sewer system for which it has so long been in need The sub iect is suggested by one who has been doing what he asks The Republican to advise others to do
 Almost every person who is torment cd by mosquitoes will find on investi- gation. that they are locsd nuisance Their origin may be traced to some point within the same block, possibly on the sufferers own premises. Most usually the insects are bred in cess pools and vaults. d pleasant thought when it is remembered that their stings are the least of their contam- mating influences as they doubtless bear the disease germs that Turk in the places of their origin.
 Those vho have tried it say that all that is necessary is to cover the surface of the contents of the cess pool with crude oil. and usually pail full will do it. if not use two or three of them for it is nOt very expensive and one treatment will last some time. The gentleman reporting his eXperi ence said he just poured the oil down the vent pipe of the cesspOol and then fastened d piece of mosquito bar over the end of it That imprisoned all the live mosquitoes which are short lived, and the oil forming d coating over the hatchery, the larvae does not mature. It is an inexpensive and very ef fective preventive of the mosquito pest and if one or two interested persons in each block will take the trouble to en- list the cooperation of their neighbors they can quickly dispose of the pest, at least to a very great degree.

CREMATION IN ENGLAND.

The movement in favor of crema- tiOn in England continues to make slow but steady progress. writes the London correspondent of the New York Medical Journal. During 1909 the number of cremations carried out in Great Britain was S55, an advance of sixty as compared with 1908.
 The first crematorium in England was opened at Woking in 1885 and the total number of crematiOns since that time is S,121. There are now al together thirteen crematoria in Great Britain and this number will probably soon be increased. The cremation so- ciety of England has been very active in its propaganda work and public in terest is slowly being aroused.
 Recently a cremation society was formed in Edinburgh. The object of society is to promote the practice of cremation and burial reform by means of meetings. lectures and publications or otherwise. There are already about 1SO members. including many we'll known persons.

 The public has already had good chance to guage the two men. The general opinion seems to be that Christensen is a master in the art of wrestling. well versed in every hold including the jiu jitsu of the Japan ese, and that he is as quick as a wild cat. But the man who will confront him is of the bull dog type-a man of everlasting grit and muscles like steel bars The eXpressman has also the advantage of d few pounds m weight
 Christensen has been seen at his best but Jeffries has not The reason is that in the last match Jeffrias was entirely on the defensive. since all he the match. He did this and with the exception of the first part of the match did not try to throw Christen- sen. His ability to take the offensive is unknown but it is strongly sus- pected that he will go at Christensen like a mad bull and the supple cham pion will require all his science to keep his feet on the ground. That Jeffries has a strong hold on the pub lie was shown yesterday when the

THE UNIVERSITIES OF EUROPE.

Statistical returns from all the uni versailles of Europe for 1908 are now at hand. We learn from them that Ger many and Italy boast of the largest number Of universities, viz, twenty-one each. But there is a great difference between university and university, even in the number of students. For we find, that in Germany there are nearly 50,000 students, while in Italy the equal number of universities is fre- quentd by barely half that number. In- deed. some of the Italian institutions are quite insignificant: it would be the wisest plan to abolish them alto gether: but local interests and regional pride stand in the way. France fol- lows next with sixteen, Great Britain and Ireland with fifteen, Austria Hun gary with eleven, Russia and Spain with nine each, Switzerland with seven
 the Netherlands with five, Belgium with four. Sweden with three and Rou- mania with two universities. If one looks at the number of students, Ger many with 5O.O00 students again heads the line. Then follow France with 32.-
