full credit for all the beneficial re.

results follow. Conversely, they can.

"Ciose to the station Mt this place
found a novel form Of hyena trap-a
round piece of dried OK hide as hard as
a board. three feet or so in diameter, in
which a very small hole. no larger thar

this hole were cut a series of V-shaped
pieces. The trap was set as follows: A
hole was dug in the ground about one
foot deep and six inches in diameter.
Into this hole Il piece Of meat was
placed. Then the OK hide plate was laid
over the place containing the meat, the
two holes being n over the other.
The OK hide was then pegged down
with wooden pegs in three or four
places.
THE hyena. on finding the bait, fore
ed his head through the small hole In
the OK hide to obtain 1t, the cuts In the
hide giving way sufficiently for that
purpose. The beast seized the meat, but
on trying to withdraw his head had to
use considerable force. which naturally
drew the pegs that held the OK hide to
the ground. the result being that the
poor brute had a collar securely fas-
tened around his neck which he was
quite unable to get rid of.
He could not run or walk, and even
had he been able to go any distance en-

AT THE ORPHEUNI.

The new bill at the Orpheum has a
novelty as the feature act in the mod
ern Svengali, who with the aid of an
attractive subject produces music and
mystery in a very pleasing manner.
Any song you want, whether from
grand opera, comic opera, or the ten
cent counters is sung instantly, upon
a whispered request to the gentleman
who works in the audience. The lady
at the piano responds promptly
Sometimes she plays and sings the air
and at other times she only suggests it
by a few familiar bars, but so far as
was observed every melody requested
was given and no noticeable sign
conveyed by the man. Selections from
comic operas popular 20 years ago
were given with the same ease as the
latest rag time melody.
Tony Hunting, one of the original
Four Huntings, is as funny as ever
with his love lozengers, his red wig,
clown expression and messenger boy
makeup. He was responsible for any
number of hearty laughs. He has a
capable partner in Corine Francis, a
good looking young woman who can
sing and dance.
George Richards and his little COM
pany offer a neat comedy sketch,
Easy Money" It>tells pretty story
of romance and the trucking of a wise
and very rich father. The support
given Mr.. Richards by Jerry O'Meara
and Edna Thoma was very satisfac-
tory.
Cooper and Ricardo do character

particularly well with their closing
number. The Fredericks open the
show with pleasing musical selections
