WORK OF CATCHING
WILD ANIMALS FOR
CIRCUS IS NO SNAP
GREATEST DANGER COMES To
MEN WHO GO INTO HAUNTS
FOR SPECIMENS.

Few who see wild animals in cages
realize the vast amount of trouble,
danger and expense necessary TO get
them there The greatest danger lies
IN capturing the wild animals in their
native country, With the John Rob-
inson Shows which VIII give two per-
formances in Pendleton. June A..
there are several hundred wild ami
mails most OF which were captured in
the forest and jungles Of their native
country.
There is no more ticklish or danger
Gus task than tracking lions in the
vast Nubign deserts. The scorehing
sun pours down with such force that
few men can stand it. The effect on
the eyes is binding. There is little or
no shade The wariest and most
careful hunter may be tracking an an
imal. and at the same tine be tracked
oy the animal he is seeking, who may
imal, and at the same time be tracked
For capturing full-grown lions
large traps of various forms are used
one trap is square, one of the sides
lifting upon a spring like the old
fashioned mouse trap. This trap is
bated with piece or fresh meat, and
as soon as the lion mas entered the
trap the door shuts down and he is a
prisoner More than a score Of lions
with the John Robinson Circus were
gaUtured in this manner
Elephants are generally caught in
noOses A number OF men surround
the elephant after they have previous
ly fOrmd circle Of fire about the
beast The fire gets closer and closer
20 the elephant and finally a moose is
thrown over his head. He is then Sc
curely tied TO a tree and allowed to
remain there until quiet Tame ele-
plants are then brought into use and
appear to be sort Of persuasive in
making the huge animals tractable.
In catching snakes various devices
are used One is TO set the grass on
fire in a circle where il is known that
snakes have hiding places. As they
rush out they are caught in large
nets founted on wooden hoops to
which is attached a large bag.

Odd robaeeo Pipe Rorer.

Travellers among the Sioux Indians are much impressed with the perfect smoothness of the bore in their pipe stems. Without the use of tool of any kind they make a perfect bore in the twigs of ash trees, which they use for musical Instruments and for pipes. To accomplish this end they employ the larvae of butterfly which inhab bits the ash tree. The Indians remove the pith for about three inches from the stick they wish bored. Into this cavity they place one of the larvae of a brown bitterly, which gradually eats it's way down through the pith until the bore is completed. A little heat applied to the wood capacities the work of the larvae. The Indians consider both the tube made in this way and the larvae as sacred as their idols Popular Science Monthly.

MAY NOT HAVE TO
 CLOSE CROSSING AT EAST WASHINGTON AVE

To avoid closing East Washington avenue to travel for about year while the new bridge is being built thefe, it is proposed to build the new draw span in the air and lower it into place when it is finished. This method would mean the bridge would be closed to travel for but a few days At a. joint meeting of the East Washington avenue and the Grand street bridge commissions last night this project was discussed. w. F. Leonard, repre- senting J. Az Strauss of Chicago, who will be engineer for both bridges, was instructed to work out a plan if pos sible to build the bridge without clos ing the structure to travel for more than a month. tA
 There is a $130, GOO bond issue for the structure and $220.0Oo for the Grand street bridge. Bids. on both structures will be opened at noon in the common council chamber. The Grand street bridge vii have & double roller lift bascule and the East w asilington ave- nue bridge a single leaf oascule.

A RemarkabIa coneert.

A program of remarkable concert which took place in Carlsbad on Aug. 6, 1872, is still preserved in the city archives at that place. The entertain ment was given for the benefit of the sufferers by the fire which had laid waste Baden and took place at the Saechsischer SaaE The only perform CTS were Beethoven and PoIledro, who played their own compositions. There were two pianoforte and two violin so los and several numbers in which both took part, says the writer. The account of the entertainment also mentions the fact that one of the interested listeners was "talE elderly man, wearing a great blue coat, who sat perfectly erect throughout the perforrnances nev- CT looking anywhere but at the stage. This was Goethe The amount real ized for the fund was about $2OO.

IRISH UPRISING
 BRINGS SEVERE LONDON. COMMENT

London, April 2s-Dea1ing with the Irish situation, the Daily Chronicle urged the government against the adoption of too harsh measures, add ing: @
 s.The immediate military situation
 ought not to present great difficulties. Indeed, it is not easy to understand how the Sim Feiners have been able to hold out for days in Dublin We should have thought-that alVmilitary arguments would favor crushing the movement in the capital with the ut most rapidity for every day that it pfotracts it's theatrical resistance must add to the risk of it's finding promi- hence elsewhere. Reluctance to de- stroy bricks and mortar has delayed bombardment of rebel buildings. It has been a very short righted re1uct- ance. While strong faction must be the first essential, We hope that trials under martial law and use of military for any but strictly military actions will be avoided as far as possible.
 tFWe hope, too, there will be a prompt and honest inquiry into mo tives of the rebels. A commission composed of acknowledged Irish 1ead- CTS to assist in dealarg with the rebels and negotiate their surrender might be of great service. Sir Edward Car son and John Redmond are ready to cooperate in this way. The object to be aimed at is the restoration of or der as soon as possible with the least b1oodshed. There is a place for med iation as we'll as for repression and leading Irishnlen should be invited to undertake it unobtrusively and unof-s ficially without delay.
 seThe Cologne Gazette appears to sex- lpect no success from the Sim Fein revolt Reuters Amsterdam cores pondent teIegraphs. It cautions it's readers not to overestimate the effect which the disturbances will have. on the political and military situation in fred H. Ferrys artistic impersonation England. N
 The German press has not been per rnitted to comment the Sir Roger Easement incident but prints tele- grams from Dutch papers with regard to the trouble inS nSIreland, says the cor respondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company at Amsterdam.
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung is quoted by the correspondent as saying that the situation in Ireland must be watched by Germany, especially in view of the American crisis. Had the adventure succeeded, declares the newspaper, it would have had i'm mense influence on feeling in America towards Germany but as things have happened it will do little good.''

rribulations of a Volunteer.

Richard de Gunpowder was an en- thusiast. He was so enthusiastic that he enlisted in the Harvard hundreds Moreover, he was so very enthusiastic that he enlisted twice. Then matters became confused, for he was assigned to- two different regiments
 In some way, however, he managed to persuade his superior officers that he would rather be wholly and entire 1y in one company than partly in two. So one of his. enlisted selves joined the other in the same squad. But now he was absolutely beside himself; every time he turned around he hit himself in the back; whenever he was out of step he trod on his own heels; every time he-what should-what could he do? What would you have done?
 But the captain was cleverer than you. He selected one of Richards en- listed selves and made him an officer So now Sergeant de Gunpowder once mores has complete command of him. self.--Harvard Lampoon.

Pos and the Magazine.

With his stories and his criticisms during the meager two years of his connection with the magazine Poe was certainly able to reflect that as at no time in her previous literary history he had put Richmond on the map. But the letter he wrote to Anthon when projecting the Stylus was somewhat iamboyant: sI had joined the Mes senger, as you know then in it's second year, with TOO subscribers, and the general outcry was that because a magazine had never succeeded south of the Potomac therefore a magazine nev- CT could succeed. Yet in spite of this and the wretched taste of the proprie- tor, which hampered and controlled me at all points, I increased the circulation in fifteen months to $500 subscribers, paying an annual profit of $1o,OOO when I left it.''-A1gernon- Tassin in RoOkman

TEACHERS UNOERPAID,
DONAREY DECLARES
Rapid Debt Increase the Great.
est Menace TO Ohio Schools.

Columbus. Sept 11.-State Auditor
Donahey, in his annual report, makes
plea for the "underpaid" school
teachers in Ohio public schools, quot
ing figures to show that only 40 cents
out OF every 81 spent on the schools
Of the state goes to the teachers and
that a large per cent OF the state
school fund is being spent on fine
buildings and equipment.
The greatest menace to Ohio
schools, the growth Of which Auditor
Donahey describes as one Of the
brightest pages in Ohio history, is the
rapid increase of the school debt. In
1915 the public school debts of Ohio,
according to the report, amounted TO
$4S,707 ,64719, a gain of $11,9S4.767
IN one year. OF this Indebtedness,
SAT ,971756.12. went for the building Of
"ornate school buildings in cities and
villages"
Auditor Donahey scores the present
system OF state government which
provides for the inspection Of fac,
tories. boilers, oil, loan agents. fer
tilizer high explosives and a number
of other Industries and products and
totally neglects medical inspection in
the schools.
Teachers. SAYS Mr.. Donahey re-
ceive on an average about s54 a
month. He adds: The janitors WHO
sweep the floors and dust the furni
ture in the empty halls Of the general
assembly are today drawing $50 per
month each. and the legislature is not
in session"
The greatest enemy of the public
schools, says the report, is the board
Of education that issues bonds to build
S250000 building when one costing
$4,000 will meet requirements.
