CRIMINALS AMONG WOLVES.
Great * Curminc Manifested by These
Animals in California. '
E. Seton Thompson , naturalist to ths
Government of Manitoba , has , utder
the title , "Wild Animals I Have
Known , " given a series of observations
on the cunning of beasts. That quality
is in general the device of the weak ,
but the helplessness which it Indicates
may be of different grades. There Is
the cunning of wolves , which use their
wits to rob man of his flocks and cattle ,
that of the domesticated creatures ,
which sometimes delight in criminal
acts , and tfie cunning belonei.ag to self-
preservation among those animals on
which others prey.
Mr. Thompson claims for certa'n
animals , says the Scientific American ,
a share of the deference paid to de
praved greatness. For example , there
was the wolf which , in the fourteenth
century , terrorized all Paris for ten
years ; a lame grizzly bear which. In
two years , ruined all the hog-raisers
and drove half the farmers out of busi
ness , in the Sacramento Valley , and a
rtain wolf in New Mexico , which
j \vas reported to have killed a cow ev
ery day for five years.
This wolf grew to be so well known
that an increasing price was set upon
his scalp , until the sum reached a thou
sand dollars. Ordinary means of hunt
ing or trapping failed completely. The
wolf and bis mate brought up their
cubs among some rocky precipices ,
within a thousand yards of the farm ,
and killed cattle daily.
At this period Mr. Thompson made
the acquaintance of the vandal , antf
tried to kill him by scientific methods.
He melted cheese mixed with fat of a
heifer in a china dish , cut it into lumps
with a bone knife , to avoid the Taint
of metal , and concealed in the lumps
strychnine aud cyanide , in odor-proof
capsules. In doing this he wore gloves
steeped in cow's blood , and even avoid
ed breathing on the bait.
One of these lumps , placeO 1" - tempt
ing position , disappeared. Mr. Thomp
son followed the track tn the next
lump , and the next , and noticed that
those also wore gone. At the fourth
he found that the wolf had laid all four
together and scattered dirt over thorn.
The wolves now took to stampeding
and killing sheep. Half a dozen goats
are usually kept with each flock , as
leaders , and they are not easily stam
peded at night ; so when wolves are
about the sheep crowd about these
leaders and remain there while the
shepherds drive the wolves away. The
object of the wolve * is to stampede the
sheep , and then pick them up , day by
day , afterward.
One night tfiey ran over the backs of
the huddled flock , and killed all the
goats in a few minutes. The sheep
were then available for prey.
Traps to the number of a hundred
and thirty were set in different parts
of the big ranch. The trail of the pack
was followed , and it became apparent
that the leader , warned by the scent ,
stopped all the rest , and advanced
alone to the trap. He scratched until
he laid bare a. dozen buried chains and
pickets. Then he entered an H-shaped
series of traps , realized his danger , and
slowly backed out , putting down each
paw backward until he was off the dan
gerous ground.
Afterward be sprung as many traps
as possible , by scratching clods and
stones at them with his hind feet.
Swiss Funeral Cuatoms.
In Switzerland a death is attended
by a custom which calls upon all char
itable and Christian people to show
their sympathies. A notice edged with
a wide black line appears in the daily
papers , setting forth the day and hour
when sympathizers must assemble be
fore the house of the deceased. At the
time named a little cloth-covered table
supporting a good-sized jar is stood
before the house table , cloth , and jai
all being the same somber , ebony hue
and into the latter small mourning
cards bearing the name and address
of their owners are deposited. The
flay the funeral takes place is the day
selected for the exhibition of the jar.
No women are allowed to follow'at a
Swiss funeral.

NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON
DENSED FORM.
Elder IV. C. Poyntcr of Albion , a
Pioneer Citizen and Father of Gov.
Poynter , Passes Away at His Home
After a Lingering Illness.
Elder "W. C. Poynter , father of Governor
Poynter , died at his residence in Albion
Dec. 25.after a lingering illness , during
which he suffered greatly. His early years
were spent in Kentucky and later he made
Illinois his home. During the last fifteen
years he has lived in Albion , latterly
making his home with his second son , D.
J. Poynter. For many years he was a
Christian minister until incapacited by
age. He was a man of great force of
character and intelligence. He leaves his
aged wife and two sons , Governor W. A.
and D. J. Poynter.
Elder Poynter was a man of strong
personality , of clear logical mind and set
tled ideas and always had the courage of
his convictions. Becoming a Christian in
early life he devoted his best years to pro
claiming from the pulpit the teachings of
Christianity. His private life was always
in full accord with his public teachings.
He devoted much time and energy to the
cause of education , assisting both by work
and liberal donation , to the building up of
Eureka College. A pioneer settler in
Woodford County , Illlinois , he occupied
with honor different positions of public
trust. He was an associate in a public
way with such men as Lincoln , David
Davis , Adlai Stevenson and others in the
public affairs of Illinois.
Meeting with an accident in early life ,
resulting in the loss of his arm , he was
placed at great disadvantage , but by energy
and good judgment he accumulated a com
petency. He departs , having expressed
himself ready to go , saying with Paul : "I
have fought a good fight. I have finished
ray course. I have kept the faith. " He
was born in Barren County , Kentucky , in
1821 , and came to Illinois in 18JJ5. He was
married to Huldah J. Watkius in 1840.
Three sons were born of his marriage.
The eldest died at the age of 12 in 1855 , the
second is the present governor of Nebraska ,
the third is the editor of the Albion Argus ,
with whom the elder has made his home
for the last six years. His uife survives
him , besides the two sons.
Cornell Is Undecided.
State Auditor Cornell is still undecided
as to what course he will pursue regarding
the appropriations for the ofliccs created
by the Weaver act. The restoration of the
insurance supervision to the auditor will
necessitate employing two or three more
clerks in his office and there is strong
doubt as to whether there are any funds
available for their salaries. Auditor Cor
nell has announced that he will not touch
the appropriations unless assured by some
legal authority that he has a right to do so
and he has intimated that he may submit
the question to the supreme court to be on
the safe side. The books and records of
the governor's insurance commission will
probably be turned over to the auditor
within a few days. All applications to
that office for licenses and letters concern
ing the insurance supervision are returned
by Mr. Bryant with the information that
his office has been knocked out by the su
preme court.
Government will Defend. j
Acting under the instructions of the
governor , Attorney General Smyth has
commenced proceedings in Sarpy County
charging Corporal Fear and Private Jenk
ins with the murder of Private Morgan.
The two men , under orders of proper
officers , shot and killed Morgan while the
latter was trying to escape from Fort
Crook. The Sarpy County authorities de
clined to prosecute , leaving the matter to
, the military , who held a court martial and
acquitted the men. The governor then
ordered the case taken into the state
courts. United States District Attorney
Summers lias received orders from Wash
ington to defend the men.
Uoad Passes Over Him.
A young man named Philip Tuchardt ,
living about four miles south of Albion ,
was severely injured by a teum running
away with a load of corn. The heavy
loaded wagon passed over his right arm
and diagonally across his chest , breaking
his arm , sevcial ribs and collar bone and
bruising him badly. Ills attending physi
cian reports his injuries serious but recov
ery probable.
Two JFremonr Stores Damaged.
Fire broke out the other night in the
rear of Gannon Bros. ' grocery in Fremont
and did considerable damage. Their loss ,
which is largely by smoke and water , is
about $700 , with $3,000 insurance. T. H.
Quinu's dry goods store in the adjoining
building was damaged to the amount of
52,000 and was fully insured. The damage
to the building is light.

Find More Nebraska Coal.

operating in tin's section of the northwest
was at Jackson last week trying to buy up

gation and soil that can't be beaten on
jarth. We can produce excellent beets

ONE OF HIS FAMILY.
Thackeray Tliousbt He Had Found a
Relative in Plsilaclclhpia. <
Mrs. Ritchie's recollections of her
father , William M. Thackeray , make
prominent the kindly and genial side of (
the great satirist's character. All who '
knew him , Indeed , were aware that his
nature was sweet and tender. His
friends felt a strong affection for him. ,
No one can read his novels without rec- j
ognlzlng the deep humanity which lies
behind his satire. {
In Philadelphia , where the novelist'
had many Jfrlends of long standing ,
anecdotes which never have appeared
in print are still told to Illustrate the
kindly bonhomie of the man.
A friend , walking with him down
Chestnut street one morning , stopped
to buy a paper , while Mr. Thackeray
sauntered on. By the time the paper
was bought he haa disappeared , and
was found seated in a large clothing
shop talking earnestly across the coun
ter to the proprietor , whose name was
the same as his own.
"I saw It on the sign ! " Thackeray
said , turning to his friend. "It is my
name with the difference of a letter.
That has been dropped by some genera
tion , no doubt. r came In to see if I
could not find a relation. Thackerays
are not abundant in the world , I assure
you ! "
The American , who never bad heard
of "Pendennis , " finding that his vis
itor did not want to buy a coat , was
not anxious to establish kinship , and
let the chance of his life for distinction
pass.
"It is not every Englishman who
would try to establish relationship
with a tradesman , " his friend said , as
they left the shop.
"But he has my name ! " insisted
Thackeray. "An honest fellow ! I am
quite sure he is one of us , though he
has lost a letter. "
There was nothing of the snob in the
nan who named and defined snobbery.
A Fitting Toast.
Lord Clyde , one day after dinner ,
isked a chaplain of one of the regiments
! n India for a toast , who , after considering -
ing for some time , at length exclaimed
with great simplicity : "Alas ! and
alack-a-day ! What can I give ? " "Noth
ing better , " replied his lordship.
"Come gentlemen , we'll give a bump
er to the parson's toast. A lass and a
lac a day. " A lac means 100,000 ru
pees , or $23,000 , which is certainly an in
come to make one happy.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications , as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure Deafness , and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an 5n-
llaraed condition of the mucous lining of the
JSustachian Tube. When us tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear
ing , and when It Is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result ; and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition , hearing will bo destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh ,
which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of
the mucoussurfaces. ,
AVe will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness { caused by catarrh ) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
