\ Kansas Wolt Bounties.
I * Owing to the losses every year of so
J many sheep, pigs, calves and fowls
from depredations by wolves, coyotes,
-wildcats and foxes, the Kansas Improved
Stock Breeders at their annual
meeting in January, appointed a committee
to work for such legislation as
would authorize a higher bounty, at
least for wolf scalps?the amended law
of 1889 authorizing county commissioners
to pay not to exceed 83 for
each scalp. To aid the committee, at
IC?Ob tu UIO CAlOUtl UX
ly what has been done under the new
law, Seoretary Cobarn, of the State
Board of Agriculture, has interviewed
each one of the county clerks in the
State as to the amount expended by
his county in each of the four years
mentioned toward the extermination
of the predatory prowlers.
From the 105 counties ninety-six
reports were received; nine counties
failed or declined to report. Seventythree
paid and twenty-three did not

ties paid $J1,910; in 1891 fifty-eight
counties paid 815,233; in 1892, fiftyfioyen
counties paid $11,931, and in
1893, sixty-five counties paid $17,594.
The total amount paid in the four
years by seventy-three counties is
$59,668.
The foregoing figures include the
bounties paid on a few fox, wildcat
and rabbit scalps, but in the main represent
-wolves or coyotes. In the various
counties the amounts per scalp
have been fifty cents for cubs and from
one to three dollars for grown wolves.

HAWKING AS A MEANS FOR DISABLING
CARRIER PIGEONS;
The Birds Are Trained In BelgiumCompanies
of Reconnoiterers on
Snowshoes ? English Bicycle
Corps at Shooting Practice.
IT is only a few weeks ago that i
Russian newspaper man discov
ered that Roumania was quieth
building a navy for use in th<
Black Sea; in fact, that she has beei
engaged in that nefarious practici
since 1887. An Italian army office:
now furnishes the dread news that "i
is all up" with carrier pigeons for wa:
purposes, inasmuch as Muscovite hawk
would catch and kill them with light
ning rapidity.
This is a piece of intelligence sucl
as an army leader frequently finds ii
his daily mail. No sooner has some
body invented an armor guaranteed tc
withstand the action of the greates
gun in existence than somebody els<
comes along with a projectile capabli
of smashing into smithereens tha
identical armor.
Will the other powers answer th<
Russian threat by likewise establish
ing hawk brigades, or will they dis
solve their carrier pigeon corps?
The carrier pigeon is still the wa:
bird par excellence, and is likely t<
remain so unless the perpetual mobili
will ever be invented, and with tha
mechanical birds that submit to th<
orders of nature and of man alike
Strange to say the people most ad
vanced in, and most devoted to, th<
art of making war?the Germanshave
so far not succeeded in outstrip
ping the rivals by the superior train
ing of army pigeons. The pigeon corpi
of France, Austria, England and Italj
are all equally far from being perfect.
Belgium, on the other hand, claims t<
possess the best carrier-pigeon servic<
in Europe, while Russia has of lat<
established a system for capturing and
disabling the enemy's feathered messengers
bv reviving the ancient institution
of hawing.
There is, obviously, no connectior
between the achievements of these twc
countries in the pigeon and anti-pigeor
lines. The Belgians, the most unwarlike
of nations, employ the carriei

ministry obtains its hawking materia'

raison d'etre from the fact that it sells
its product to those in want of it, and,
while a few English and Spaniel
sportsmen have taken up the ancienl
custom of hunting with the bird, theii
combined demands do not exceed al
most liberal reckoning from thirtj
to fifty falcons per year. What, then,
becomes of the surplus of from 200 tc
300 birds which the Falkenswerth institute
turns out annually ?
Falcons are more or less numerous
all over the world and the art of training
them iB not a secret. Indeed,
there is no end of books, Boipe by
royal authors, on the subject. The
method followed at Falkenswerth, the
alleged Bussian training school foi
hawking, is as follows:
The falcons are either procured

ENGLISH BICYCLE
when still in the nest or in their firs
year of existence. The female birc
usually succeeds in breeding thre<
young ones, two females and one male
The females are in special demand, a
they are stronger, more active, an<
more courageous than the other sex
The first thing to do is to place th<
young birds in dark coops and kee]
them there until they have growi
sufficiently to undergo training. J
ond-year-old bird could be" at onco ad
mitted to school if it were not for it
inherent wildness and ferocity. T<
make the falcon at all tractable it mus
undergo a hunger cure in a dark re
cess, where it is not permitted t<
sleep or rest a moment. One of th
greatest falconers of all ages, the Ger
man Emperor Frederick II, even ad
vised to blind the birds while prepai
ing them for training by drawing
silk thread through their lower ey<
lids. Of course, the falcon does nc
take to this sort of thing patient)j
On the contrary, the birdB make i
their business to get even with thei
tormentors, and to this end emplo
their mighty beaks and claws c
best they know how, so that it fr<
quently becomes necessary to clip ?b
latter. To break them from bitin
i pieces of hard wood, stone, and po:
- celain or glass are held out to birc
7 when in a fury.
s After the bird has thus been traine
i to a degree it must become used t
0 riding on man's gloved hand, glove
r not for the falcon's sake but for ths
t of the falconer. There it learns i
r mind the trainer's voice and to rid
s on horseback without exhibiting
- wild passion to claw at the animaL
The falcon's uniform is as follows
1 It wears a cap cf soft leather coverin
l the entire head, inclusive of the eyei
- and leaving but the beak free. Tw
) feather bands encircle both legs an
t are kept together by a large brai
5 ring. The cap is removed when tl
3 falconer throws the bird to the wint
t ready for business. In doing so 1

' puts his index finger through th
i ring, and throwing up his hand lei
. go suddenly. While the bird is ui
3 dergoing training a thin wire is fasi
ened to the ring, bj which the bird ca
3 be pulled beck in case of need. Tl
r cap of the Busian army hawks is in tb
- colors of the regiments to which the
belong. The glove of the falooner :
made of the strongest leather, in o]
der to protect him against the cla^
ing propensities of the bird. It takt
about a month to get the faloons usei
to their masters. They take quit
naturally to hunting pigeons; th
difficult part is to teacn inem 10 r?
turn with their prey and not tear :
to pieces in midair. A war falcon d?
parting from this rule would be a ver
poor specimen of a reconnoiterer ii
deed. It does not do to kill the sp
or message carrier. The principal ot
ject is to learn his business and thu
obtain an advantage over him.
If the St. Petersburg authoritie
gain this end, and there is no reaso
why they .should not do so if the bird
are properly trained, they undoubted
ly have a great advantage over a
enemy whose secret plans they ma
follow up by catching their winge
messengers, and perchance catchin
them alive and setting them fre
again, after substituting a bogus me:
sage for that originally dispatched.
To fully appreciate the value of th
hawk's service one must turn to th
records of the achievements of arm
carrier pigeons as set forth by th
story of the sieges of Paris, Strasj
burg and Metz. It is proved that c
354 pigeons sent out from Paris 10
returned with messagea' One sing]
pigeon carried 3500 dispatches <
twenty words each between the con
mander of Paris and the temporar
government established at Tours. Nc
- only the French but all the Germai
I Austrian, Russian and Italian for'
ti resses are now supplied with a fu
i corps of carrier pigeons, each havin
) certain stations whither they trav<
, regularly. Berlin is connected wit
i Cologne and KoenigBberg respectivel
; by a carrier pigeon service, and so i
Paris and London. Occasional!
b German war pigeons are sent to v:
r enna and vice versa. Mr. Gladston
, employed messenger pigeons wit
> great success on his last electioneer
ing tour on land and water, and whei
the German Emperor travels at sea h
i is never without his coop of exper:
enced birds. All the navies of th
great powers are plentifully supplie
' with carrier pigeons, and just now a
i effort is made to furnish ocea
i steamers with which to carry news c
disaster or messages of the date c
arrival or departure.
I Germany and the other States c

t the Triple Alliance, as well as those <
1 the dual alliance, have regular we
2 carrier pigeon stations under militar
. governors. The amateur pigeon s<
3 cieties are likewise organized under
1 central head, who is responsible to th
. Minister of War. Germany, Austri
j and France each possesses in tt
j neighborhood of 100,000 traine
l pigeons. Italy boasts of 60,000. TL
i number of pigeons in Russia is nc
- definitely known.
s Up to now the only recognize
i enemies of messenger pigeons in we
t were: The foolhardy business <
- ballooning, obnoxious weather, etorn
a rain, snow, frost, hunger and thirs
e the bullets of friends and enemiei
- and occasional birds of prey. No

> poses to let loose a regular army of
a hawks of war the security and the
)- life of the carrier pigeons becomes
it very precarious indeed. The smoke\
less powder likewise adds terrors to
it the poor birds' existence. Yet the
ir military experts continue to extend
y and improve their war carrier-pigeon
is service, though it is admitted that the
bird'B capacity for work cannot be
ie enhanced by any means. But then
g they also persist in building new

of all nations, the St. Petersburg

& "While dry rot seems to have taken
?f hold in the bicycle corps of the armies
'f of the Triple Alliance and of Russia,
and while France records no further
advancement than additional speed in
her military wheel efforts, England
has made great strides of late in the
direction of finding further uses for
the bicycle, and at the 6ame time her
riders are taught the noble art of selfdefense
or even taking the offensive.
Bicycles are now used in the British
army to carry ammunition. The
machine is constructed as follows: The
case containing the war material is
placed on a two-wheeled wagon drawn
and preceded by twelve men riding
behind each other on six bicycles.
The speed of this machine is from nine
and a half to fifteen miles an hour. It
can travel over any kind of ground,
the wheels being covered with rubber.
The occupant of the first wheel marshals
proceedings, the rest of the men
? only follow suit, working their arms
>f and legs. It is claimed that the mair
chine is not frequently subjected to
y accidents, and that as a means of car)
rying ammunition to an outpost it is
a without equal, being noiseless and
ie swift at the same time. The machines
ia will probably be generally adopted for
ie use in fortresses. In case an English
d bicycle corps is attacked or finds it
ie advantageous to take the offensive the
>t men form a carre with their machines
after detaching their wheels. Then
d part of them crouch down or kneel
ir down while the others shoot standing.
)f It may be added that the English
1, bicycle corps is most appropriately
t, uniformed while the bicyclists of the j
other armies are hampered as much
w by useless equipments as by red tape.

The death last week of the Rev.
John Adams Paddock, Episcopal
Bishop of the State of Washington,
reminds a friend of the family of thia
storv:
The Bev. Seth Paddock, of Norwich,
Conn., had threo sons?Benjamin
H., who was at one time Bishop
of Massachusetts; John Adams, Bishop
of Washington, and Lewis S., a physician
of large practice and many admirable
qualities. The last of these,
about a dozen years ago, suffered
from a painful and rather mysterious
malady which was finally pronounced
by experts to be appendicitis. His
condition was critical for several days,
and his many friends were prepared to
hear of his death at any moment.
His chief medical adviser. Dr. 0. M.
Carleton, was one of the most successful
surgeons in Eastern Connecticut,
a man of mnch impetuosity and determination.
and a' 'never-eive-up-the
ship" sort of a fellow. One afternoon,
as he entered the sick man's honse, he
was met at the outer door by an attendant,
who said solemnly:
"Don't go upstairs, doctor; it's no
use."
"What! Is he dead?" was the response.
"No, but he's going fast, and they've
sent for Dr. Giesy, who has come, and
is now reading the prayers for the
dying."
Dr. Carleton pansed long enough to
inquire as to the precision with which
his instructions had been carried out.
Then he flew upstairs like a flash to
the sick-room, where the service prescribed
in the Episcopal ritual for
such emergencies was being conducted
by the saintly rector of Christ Church.
Dr. Paddock was apparently unconscious.

his patient than for the sensibilities
of those participating inthie
painful scene. However this may be,
and whatever language may have beei]
addressed to the dying (or dead]

Threatened by a River.
"Our city is jnst now in great danger
of losing the Missouri River,"
i said George Henderson, of Atchison,
Kan., at the St. James. "And not
only that, but the iron bridge over
the river and the railroads reaching
Atchison from the East are pretty
sure to be cut off, too. For several
years the river has been cutting away
the bank above the railroads on the
Missouri side to such an extent that
two or three thousand acres of land
have been carried away, as well as a
good deal of the site of East Atchison.
The Government spent $75,000 in protecting
the bank, but the work was
improperly done, and last June a
freshet came along and swept all the
improvements out. Since then the
river has resumed its warfare, and
1 several valuable farms have been
washed away. This year since the
' river began to rise the bank has been
caving in at an alarming rate. Originally
the shore line was over a mile
from the railroad tracks; now it is less
than a hundred yards, and the rail1
road men are ready to tear up the
tracks at the shortest possible notice.

months apart, of a very much esteemed dti)
sen of Illinois?Mr. C. H. Harris, whose address
is No. 1,622 Second Avenue, Rock
Ialand? ILL The following extract from a letter
written by Mr. Harris explains the marI
velous change in his personal appearance. He
I writes : " Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
saved my life and has made me a
1 man. My home physician says I am good for
I forty years yet. You will remember that I
was just between life and death, and all of
my friends were sure it was a case of death,
' until I commenced taking a second bottle of
I 1 Golden Medical Disooverv,' when I became
r able to sit up and the cough was very much
j better, and the bleeding from my lungs
stopped, and before I had taken six bottles of
i the 'Golden Medical Discovery* my cough
t ceased and I was a new man and ready for
' business.
I now feel that It is a duty that I owe to
i my fellcw-men to recommend to them the
j Golden Medical Discovery' which saved my
life when doctors and all other medicines
failed to do me any good.
I send to you with this letter two of my
photographs; ono taken a few weeks before!
i was taken down sick in bed, and the other
was taken after I was well." These two photographs
are faithfully re-produced at the
I head of this article.
Mr. Harris's experience in the use of " Golden
Medical Discoveiy" is not an exceptional
one. Thousands of eminent people in all
parts of the world testify, in just as emphatic
language, to its marvelous curative powers
over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung
! diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, ana
, kindred diseases.
Eminent physicians prescribe "Golden
Medical Discovery" when any of their dear
ones' lives are imperilled by that dread disease,
Consumption. Under such circumstances

souri River fully a mile from the east
bank of its present bed, leave the big
iron bridge spanning a lake and ont off
all rail communication with the East.
Then, also, every house of every sort,
including a valuable pork packing
plant in East Atchison, will be swept
away. Should the worst happen, $1,500,000
would not cover the loss.
Only Providence can prevent the river
cutting through, as the river is too
high now to admit of work being
done, even if there was plenty of
money at hand to do it. The railroads
I spoke of as being in danger
are the Kansas City, St. Joe &
Council Bluffs, the Missouri Pacific,
the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe, the
Hannibal & St. Joe and the Bock Island.
Each will lose a mile of track at
least, besides yards and sidings."?

cured her. She has had no symptoms of con*
sumption for the past six years. People
having this disease can take no better rem*
edy." Yours very truly,
From the Buckeye State comes the follow*
ing: " I was pronounced to have consumption
by two of our beet doctors. I spent
nearly $300, and was no better. I concluded .
to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
I bought and used eight bottles and I can
now say with truth that I feel lust as well
to-day as I did at twenty-flve. and can do just
as good a day's work on the farm, although I
had not done any work for several years."
Truly, your friend,
Mr. Dulaney's address Is Campbell, Ohio.
" I had catarrh in the head for years and
mnhlA with mv left luncr afc the same time.
You put so much faith in jour remedies that
I concluded to try one bottla or two, and I
derived much benefit therefrom. I used up
three bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
five bottles of your " Golden Medical Discovery,"
and in four months I was myself again.
I could not sleep on my left side, and now I
can sleep and eat heartily. So long as I have
your medicines on hand I have no need of a
doctor: I do not think my bouse in order
without tiem. Yours truly,
Marlow, Baldwin Co., Ala.
If it would be any more convincing, we
could easily fill the columns of this paper with
letters testifying to the cure of the severest
diseases of the throat, bronchia and lungs,
by the uso of " Golden Medical Discovery."
To build up solid flesh and strength after the
grip, pneumonia, ("lung fever"), exhausing
fevers, and other prostrating diseases, it haa
no equal. It does not make fat like cod liver
oil and its nasty compounds, but solid, wholesome
flesh.
