Here’s Going Some at a Rat Killing Carnival.

Squire C. W. Bussell, having no court Saturday, determined to spend the -day at h'is Hanging Grove township farm in an effort to exterminate the rodents that have been making their rendezvous about his elevator and accordingly he tore up a platform, armed himself and his assistants with bludgeons, said “sic ’em” to Towser and went in for a massacre that would have made Custer’s last battle look like a picnic. For a time there were no idle moments. One rat after another fell a victim of the slaughter. Old Towser had the time of his life and shook one rat after another until he became so exhausted that he quit the job. When the extermination had concluded there wasn’t a live rat on the place except a few that had made good their escape. Charley counted them and found that there were just 92. He don’t know when some fellow may come along his way and state that he is from Missouri when it comes to fish and rats, and he is prepared to show such sceptics the goods, for he strung the rats on a wire and they can be counted by any doubting Thomas. And if any of the ladies want rats for their hair, why, they can buy them at any store in town at the same price they could before the Squire made his killing. The kind of rats the ladies wear are not affected by supply and demand.

A Gloomy Outlook— Mme. Thebes’ Prediction.

Among the gloomy prophecies made concerning the comet the most famous is that of Mme. Thebes, the Frenchwoman, who has attained distinction by her prediction of some notable public events. Mme. Thebes’ cheerful outlook contains these statements: “The year 1910 will be one to look back to with trembling. The earth is under a terrific strain from comets and planetary revolutions. Human is red. That means blood. Political events are black. Terrible changes are imminent. This winter France will be swept by floods. Paris will be under water. The influence of form changes in other planets and the coming of the comet will affect us for the worse. “The strain of the stars will be most severely felt in America. The people of America will have to pay dearly for all their riches and sudden prosperity. With the coming of another comet disaster will descend upon America. A financial crash Is impending, to be followed by a long string of suicides. Black ruling us, men will commit all manner of crimes and knaveries for money. The times are swaying toward degeneration. We are swinging within the evil influence of a strange orbit. Our souls are jarred from their proper bearings. I dare not say all that is revealed to me. It would be too terrible.” Mme. Thebes would seem to have quite enough. Her predictions have amused the astronomers, who point out that the comet can not possibly affect us and who recall all the comet scares of the past to emphasise their point that we are in no danger whatever. Before a vast audience which filled every corner of Royal Albert Hall in London, the Royal Geographical society Wednesday night presented Commander Robert E. Peary with the special gold medal of 'the society, and through its president welcomed the American explorer as “the first and only human being who had ever led a party of his fellow creatures to the pole of the earth.” Latest style type faces and the best paper stock used In printing it The Republican office.

Former Resident Writes From Far Away Montana Homestead.

Wye, Mont., May 1, 1916. Editor Republican—Thinking a line from the Treasure State would be acceptable for your columns, I will write a few lines descriptive of our country. The country is very hilly and broken, although there is some good land in the valleys, where small grain grows to perfection. Oats will average 48 pounds per bushel and 60 bushels to the acre. Corn does not grow well here, the altitude being too high. We are in the foothills of the Bear Tooth mountains. The altitude is 5,400 feet and the climate is fine and and the water could be no better, coming from springs. There are some hot springs. Cattle keep in good condition all winter on the range without any care. Small fruits do well here. We have plenty of fuel, both coal and wood. There is a vein of coal cropping out on my homestead. Our nearest railroad point is"4s miles away, but we have daily mall. The stage makes a round trip every day except Sunday. There are a few good homesteads yet vacant, but they are being taken up very fast, toy next year they will all be taken pp. Work is plenty and wages are good for common labor, $2.00 per day with board. Ranch work is $35 per month. We are about 35 miles from Yellowstone National Park and near the rich copper mines of Butte and Cook City. There are some very rich mines about 3 miles from here, at Old Wye City, but they are undeveloped as yet owing to some dispute in the title. As to the cost of living here, we buy groceries as cheap as in Rensselaer. Flour is some higher. Potatoes we have for thq asking. Beef steak, 10c a pound, butter 25c, eggs 15c. I would like to help celebrate the fourth with you this year, but I cannot get there this time. This is getting too long and ere I tire your patience I will close. Wishing my old friends success, I remain, Yours Respectfully,

ARNOLD RICHARDS.

Organize For Self Protection in Cass and Pulaski.

A Cass county paper conveys the information that the threshermen of Fulton and Pulaski counties recently met at Rochester and perfected an organization that they believe will make things just a little better for them. Heretofore they have been working in bad with each other—and they feel that because of the high price of machinery, etc., they must get better margins for their work. They also feel that they are not given their rights on the public highway, so far as the bridges are concerned. They pay a high tax on their machinery and yet there are no efforts put forth to have the bridges kept in shape for thein. machinery to pass over. Their work is necessary—just as necessary as any other thing—and yet there are sections where it is necessary to carry boards and ford streams, etc., to get to their threshing points. They feel that this should not be and that ‘s one thing for the new organization to look after. They also object to cut-throat prices and in the future this wdll be avoided. The association starts out with quite a large membership.

Bogus Solicitor Represented Monon Paper in Rensselaer.

Monon News. A man representing Ifimselt as a solicitor for the Monon News was in Rensselaer last week and according to reports that have -reached this office did a profitable business in getting’ several News subscriptions. The fellow was an imposter, as we have had no canvasser employed for several months, and those who have paid him money on the News’ account are the victims of misplaced confidence. He obtained 31.50 in payment for the News from W H. Macke?, the well known monument dealer of Rensselaer, and this subscription was secured by showing Mr. Mackey the paper, who was so well pleased with its appearance that the man did not have to ask him to subscribe. The question is, who was he and why did he select the News with which to work his game? Ho is said to have a good address and made a favorable implre ision among strangers. The extent of his operations is not known and cannot be until the victims are heard from. The News will pay 325 for the arrest and conviction of this swindler. ——— I I Estimating that' the population of the pnited States on May 2 was 90,123,000, the treasury figures that the per capita circulation of money on that date was 334.45.
