to be several hundred feet deep. A rope
100 feet long with a heavy weight at one
end has been dropped into the hole, but no
bottom found. Large trees were growing
on the ground and they went down into
hole out Of sight. Since its FIRST discovery
the earth has been caving in around the

That the laws delay is the Grimm.
ais safest way TO escape punishment
is fully demonstrated by the case Of
Charles F. Kring, who eight years
ago cowardly and cruelty murdered in
st. Louis a virtuous wife, Mrs. Dora
Broemer, with whom he fell desper.
ately in love, because she refused to
elope with him. Since the deed, he
has been confined in jail but on Fri.
day he was admitted to bail in the
sum Of $1,000, because Of the doubt
of the State being able to convict him,
as most Of her witnesses have died or
disappeared. There have been elk
trials Of the case. Twice he was con-
victed and sentenced to be hung, the
Court of Appeals reversing the judg,
ment each time, but waiting in the
second conviction till all the prepara-
tons we're made for his execution,
only announcing their decision twelve
hours before it was to occur. Then
followed two trials in which there
we're hung juries. The next time he
pleaded guilty to murder in the Sec
ond degree but when he found the ju'
ry had given him twenty-five years
in the penitentiary he withdrew his
plea, just in time to escape punish
ment. At the sixth and last trial he
was again sentenced to be hung but
his counsel carried the case to the SUI
preme Court of the U. s. which re.
versed it on a peculiar legal point.
Thus has his shrewd attorneys worn
the case out and the four times con-
victed murderer is free again with no
of suffering further for his
deed. Next to a soft.heart-
ed governor to pardon, the laws delay
is the surest chance for a law break
er, which fact they all seem to appre-
ciate.

AN ALARMING DISEASE.
Worms Which Bat up People Alive in
Kansas.

A correspondent of the New York
sam describes a new and horrible
disease, at first confined to Texas
cattle, but which has begun to attack
human beings in Kansas. On the
plans Of Texas lives the screw worm
fly, the terror Of cattle. A fight be-
tween Texas cattle usually ends in
one Of them being wounded. The
smell of the blood drifts down the
wind, and the attracted screw flies
course upon the scent, anxious to
deposit their eggs in the wound.
The substance contains hundreds of
eggs, which hatch in twenty-four
hours. when the worms burrow into
the flesh and the animal is literally
devoured alive.
The screw worm is q little over
half an inch long. It is corrugated
