WASHINGTON'. Aug. 28. "Sleek
highwayman," marauder," mid "al
leged mouse-killer'' are ju-U a few
opprobrious epithets which a learned
scientific expert is uow colling that
pet of cliildhood mid solaee of the

WASHINGTON. Aug. 'JS. While
the people of the United State have
been fussing over the wool schedule
or the hide schedule or various kin
dred things included in the tariff bill,
the segregated mito of population
down on tho Isthmus of I'aunma has
been putting on a new aspect on tho
building of the ciinnl. It is no longer
a matter of buildinc a ditch. Con

cat. He says the animal is degener
ate, a theif a scoundrel, and oughtn't

liberty as at present.

"Tlio nrincinal reason given fir';tore
keeping cats are their attractiveness
ns house pets, their usefulness as
companions to children and their al
leged value as rat and mouse killers.
"Alleged mouse killers," think of
that insinuation ! But the professor
docs more than just sneer at Tabby's
rodent killing proclivities. lie says
f farther: "Lovers of the cat should
be content with one. or at the" most
two of these pets, and should sec to it
that outcasts "do not run at large on
their premises. Xow. that cats are
known to carry in their fur germs not
only of ringworm, but also of the such
drearer riseaies as tuberculosis, dip
theria, scarlet fever and small, pox.
the presence in the household of Tab
bv is not without its dangers."

almost completed for the constructive
work on tho canal and the whole pro
ject is entering on its second phase
of accomplishment.
When the record for the month of
July was taken it was found that the
United States had surpassed the ex
cavation mark set by the French dti'r-

There are still 92.0u8.fil7 yards still
to be excavated.
From now on it is expocted that the
excavation records will dwindle as
the excavation progresses, the preent
plan being to bring the excavating
and construction work to an end sim

S. Coke, of Marshfield, presiding in
the circuit court of Curry county.
John R. Hcrron. of Marshfield, was
arraigned at Gold Beach on the
charge of having, illegally sold liquor
in Curry county. C. F. McKnight. of
Marshfield. appeared for Herron. and
on the plea he made Judge Coke de
cided that Curry county, which was
supposed to be "dry," is not "dry."
but that in reality there is no reason
why liquor could not be sold there.
the election declaring the county
"dry" was knocked out because there
had never been the proper order of
the court' entered to make the elec
tion legal.
