WORTH KNOWING
Funeral Ants.

OF all the lower animals the ant
appears to be the most human, ana
it alone OF all such animals SO FAR
as known is constantly In the Aabit
of removing and burying Its dead
providing regular cemeteries for the
purpose. While thus careful OF lts
friends. it "ucks sthe juices Of
strangers and enemies. throwing the
dry refuse together in some spot
away from the nest. All its slaves
also 1t is careful 10 bury. but always
in a place apart. Seldom or never IS
lift known to use as food the dead
bodies of either slaves or comrades.
A lady at Sydney, Australia, had kiieh
Ia, few soldier ants. She saw Their
friends come and carry them off IN
procession, each body being followed
nv ants which she took for mourners.
These mourners were then apparently
called upon to give their help in fill-
ing the graves, which some did, while
six or seven who refused were kiliei
and buried without honor in a single
grave.
The Sexton Beetle.
Burying beetles hunt in couples
man and wife. Finding their ,rey
they first make a hearty meal. Then
dragging the remains to a soft spot
the husband begins operations bS
| digging a furrow all round the deaf
body at the distance of half an inch
using his head as a spade Another
furow is dug within the first, and sc
| on, until the earth is scooped CON
pletely from under the body to bt
buried. 1t may take hours, but tht
worker will not stop until the BOD,
| settles at last beneath the surface
| in its grave. His wife meanwhii'
has been quietly near by, merely look
ling on. ut now she permits hersel
to be buried with the dead body. He
husband treads down the holy
shovels back the dirt, treads it vel
/ down, examines the spot carefully t
be sure all is right and then make
a hole in the grave, burying himsel
and rejoining his wife, The objec
all along has been TO secure a SAT
place for her to lay her eggs. Whel
this Is done, the two creep out an
fly away.

paign publicity bill OF Congressman
Rucker has passed the lower honse
Of congress
1T provides that full and complete
publication must be made OF all cam
raign expenses and the names OF all
contributors to the campaign fund.- (
This brings up nice point OF dis.
cussion.
The press has been agitating for
some time the difference between a
slush fund and legitimate campaign
fund.
Ii Is charged In Chicago that the
slush fund of Mayor-elect Carter Haf.
rison Is responsible for his recent
election. On the other hand, the
campaign fund of Prof. Merriman
which amounted to several hundred
thousand dollars, is called a leg'ti
mate campaign fund.
What Is the difference Both men
ran for office Both expended much
money. Both funds were raised 10
the same way for the same purpose.
Because one fund was raised by cor.
tributlons of the liberal element and
the other from the purses OF prohibi-
tionists and church goers does MOI
seem TO warrant the very marked diff
ference in the way the two funds are
described.
Both were campaign funds, raised
for the purpose Of aiding candidate
Ia be elected to office, and that Is all
their is in Ii. 1t makes no difference
who the contributors We're.
II is a wise precaution to pass sucn
a law. 1t will enlighten the people
Of the country. When certain cor
poration gives 100000 to campaign
fund it is done with the view OF je.
curing some future favor, Men are
not in the habit of throwing their
| money at political parties for nothing
| 1T Is because of the liberal donations
Of corporations to the Republican
party that it has remained in power
for so long.
1t is not likely that the Republican
campaign committee would care &c
publish how much was contributed
| to the last campaign by the glass
trust, the meat trust, the steel com
bine, the copper combination and the
other potential influences Of Wal
street
1t Is said that exlCongressman Sib
| ley of Pennsylvania spent $4,000 e

This Is an immense amount to pa,
for an office which yields so little

THE MAYORALTY RACE.

In the mayoralty contest tomorrow
the voters Of Cairo will be In the
same position that they have been in
at the last two elections, in that they
Will be forced to take their pick from
among candidates in the nomination
Of whom they nave had no voice.
More than likely, ii Is safe to say,
that If a primary election had been
held, at which the voting population
of Cairo could have selected the men
they wished to vote into office,
neither OF the men now on the mayor
any ticket would be before them.
Leading citizens. who but few
months ago were SO loud In their
protests against bad government, and
seemingly so determined to bring
about a change, are to blame for
tilis. Their indignation seems to
Iave been like that OF the petulant
child and quite as short-lived--and
vet the causes which aroused them
then certainly were real enough and
serious enough to have justified more
lasting and more effective protest.
AS a result Of this want of stability
In moral courage on the part OF lead
Ing men, the people OF Cairo, helpless
because leaderless and yunoFganized,
find themselves again at the mercy oil
self.nominated men and their little
gangs and cliques; and in the election
Of any one of them the community
will be held, even against its will, to
stand for whatever the successful
candidate stands for or has stood for
Mayor Parsons has CANNED and
still claims that his reelection two
years ago and four years ago was an
unqualified endorsement OF his ad
ministration; and that the people ar
to blame for any evils OF government
that have come upon sthe city. HI
claims and charges this In spite o
as strong evidence to the contrary, o.
the people have had opportunity 4
give In various ways. Protests b.
individual citizens, by delegations o
citizens, by organized bodies OF citI
zens, and indictments by grand jurfe
seem to have meant nothing to hin
defeat at the polls is the only argr
nent that counts, and this the peopl
have had no opportunity to do, e.
cept In eliminating some members o
the city council who were recognize
as his henchmen. and this ais
seems to have affected him bu
slightly.
He will be elected again tomorrow
because he has money and or/niza
ton behind him and In front OF hin
and all around him; but principal
because, since he seems to hay
shown some symptoms of reforma
tion, he appears to be the lesser o
three "evils."
Nevertheless, II is likely that not
few voters will either ignore TIL
mayoralty candidates entirely or vii
show emphatically that they do no
endorse Mayor Parsons record, b.
casting their ballots for one or tn
other OF his opponents.

Jamestown, N. D., April 21-Just a:

claim recently selected west of this
city, Johnny Tschider, aged 4, fell
into an abandoned we'll and for time
it was thought he could not escape
death, although the little fellow was
later hauled without injury beyond a
few slight bruises.
The youngster was playing near
the we'll with other small boys when
he slipped into the opening. He fell
only about 20 feet. however, when
the boards and timbers that lined the
we'll and had been deranged by time
and neglect, caught him and held him
suspended in the well.
William Esler. who happened to be
driving by. went down the we'll after
the boy, but his body being so much
larger than that of the unfortunate
lad caused the rescuer some difficulty
in getting far enough into the well.
He at last reached the boy, pulled him
loose of the boards and the boy grip
ping tightly on to rope held by peo-
pie on the surface was pulled to safe

Italian, possibly a Neapolitan, left on

there three days later, somewhat tired
and worn by the long journey but yet
smiling and happy with his concertina
or accordian. But he has not yet re-
ported in Portland and his relatives
have become anxious for his safety
and the Doyle" detective bureau Of
the road has set it's machinery to
work to locate the man. He may be a
budding Caruso, a Buonarroti or just
a number in a construction gang. If
the latter, he is worth probably some
what more in the commercial world

ment would be rated in Dunn or Brad
