The rural Eaghsh people have some
curious superstitiOns regarding the
christening Of infants. The manner in
which child IL carried into the church
Is supposed to affect the character and
disposition In after-life. The nurse. or
whoever carries the baby. should enter
the church with the right foot, step
ping briskly and dancing the baby In
her arms, 30 that the little one shall
grow up cheerful and light
Another old-fashioned theory IL that
II boy II baptized In the water previ-
ously used for n girl he will grow up
feeble and effemlnate: while II the
case Is reversed the baby CIR, Will
grow up lacking In womanly attributes
In every country white Is employed foI
all baby garments. but where 4 little
color Is introduced the superstitious
mother takes care that 1t is n lucky

INGENIOUS TRAP FOR WOLVES
Device Employed by Eskimos Results
Frequently in Practical Wiplno
Out Of Entire Pack.

Wolves are plague In Alaska
where the natives are commonly
obliged to Store tiieir food supplies
on platforms erected seven or eight
feet above the ground. thus putting
them beyond the animals reach.
Most Ingenious of all wolf traps is
one Of extreme simplicity used by the
Eskimo. Ii consists merely Of an iron
spearhead-or suitably shaped blade
of chipped flint will serve-which is
set point upward in the Ice, so as
to he frozen securely in position. A
chunk of seal bIsIbber Is wrapped
about the spenrhead or flint blade and
tied fast.
Alaskan wolves are marvelously
keen Of scent. II does not take them
long TO find the attractive bait, about
which u snarling pack Of them will
gather. licking and chewing ut the
bubber. Presently one aud another
OF them cut their tongues on the sharp
edges Of the flint or iron. Blood runs
They do not know that 1t is their own
blood. and the taste OF II drives them
crazy.
Presently they begin to attack each
other. the weaker being overcome by
the stronger. Blood flows In streams
over the Ice. and soon all are killed
or badly wounded. The pack Is nearly
destroyed. only few perhaps being
able to limp away and nurse their
hurts.

Urban VS., Rural.

Chicago and Detroit, two of
our largest western industrial
centers, have just been con-
fronted with the question of
"wet or dry" in an election.
Both unhesitatingly vote d
"wet."
The Chicago question was
purely u municipal one. In
Michigan the voting on prohi-
bition was statewide. The
state went dry.
The sentiment in rural COM
munities is largely against the
sale of liquor. This is probably
because the smaller pluces are
more largely American, aud the
customs of life are simpler. The
complex life of great city, full
of the foreign element, and
with less social restraint favors
the wet" side. The small
places go "dry."
In n statewide election the
small places can always out
vote the large ones. In the end
the rural comm unities can Ell
force their standa rds and wish
es upon the city d wellers. We
look in time for the principles
and sentiments of the country
to clean up the large cities, in
many directions.

uty under Sheriff George H. Rich
mond, acted as matron of the coun-
ty jail. residing in the sheriff's
quarters in the Jail building, will
probably be retained in her pres
emit position and allowed to remain
in the slodgings which she now oc-
cupies.
II is probable that Corporal Wig
ers may withdraw his name as a
candidate. Should he take such &C
ton, opinion seems undivided as
favoring his being made a deputy
by whoever is appointed as the new
sheriff.
The man selected for the post by
the board of supervisors, under the
law. will hold office only until the
next general election. which will
occur in November, 1890. Although
ordinarily a sheriff . is not elected
at that time, names will be placed
before the voters then for selection
of a sheriff for the remaining two
years of the term of this office.
Another important question to be
discussed at this meeting of the
supervisors is what action shall be
taken regarding the erection of a
new county Jail. 1t is likely that
several probable sites for the
structure will be discussed and
that the matter of removing the
present partially completed jail
building as commanded by the
Courts will be provided for.

FRIDAY;ExPECT
SHERIFF NAMED
Several Mentioned As Successor to
Late Jacob s. Wigers-Son
May Be Appointed.
WILL PROVIDE FOB FAMILY.
New Official to Hold Office Until
Selection By Voters in Next Gen.
: eral Election, Nov. 1920. .

Rock Island county supervisors
will meet in special session Friday,
Jan. 10, according to announcement
made by County Clerk Henry b.
Hubbard, this morning.
Many important matters are up
for discussion. Foremost among
them is the appointment Of a sue
cessor to the late Sheriff Jacob 5.
'Wigers, shot to death by bandit
gunner on the CoaltOwn road near
Moline last Monday night.
In official circles several men
are named as seeking the position,
although authoritative announce
ment of their candidates. are yet
lacking Those given prominence
in talk concerning the appointment
are, Allen S. Wigers, son of the late
sheriff, Walter kittilsen, chief dep
uty under the murdered chief, Hen
~ F. Schroeder, supervisor from
Hampton township, E. w. Robinson,
of Rock Island, a candidate in the
primaries against Wigers, T. A
Butchaell, of Moline, a deputy IN
der Ex-Sheriff George H. Rich
mond, and George H. Richmond,
former sheriff Rnder whom the
slain officer acted as chief deputy.
Public and official sentiment
seems unanimous in a desire to ef-
feet adequate provision for the fam
lily of Sheriff Wigers, and in &C
cordance with this idea, it was an
nounced that Corporal Allen S.
Wigers, a son, would be a candi-
date to succeed his father.
Previous to the decision of Cor
poraI Wigers, Chief Deputy Walter
Kittilsen had considered, after be-
ing approached upon the subject,
becoming a candidate for the Of
flee. Immediately following Cor
poral Wigers' candidacy, however,
Deputy Kittilsen withdrew, an
nouncing that he would not enter
the race against the son of his late
chief. He stated further, that
should Corporal Wigers appear be-
fore the board of supervisors as a
candidate, his (Kittilsen's) full
support would be given.
Without reflecting odiously upon
Corporal Wigers or his capabilities
there prevails the friendly opinion
that he is not yet, due to his youth
an inexperience, fully qualified for
the office. Should he be appoint
ed the administration of official du-
ties would devolve upon Kittilsen
as chief deputy. and one who has
had long experience in the duties
of the sheriff's office.
Regardless of who is appointed
to fill the vacancy, every provision
is to be made for the family of the
murdered sheriff Mrs. Wigers,
who, during the four years which
her husband served as chief dep
