INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 6.-Seven years
ago a squirrel hunter in Brown county
one day picked up in brook stone
whose sparkle caught his eye. 1t found
its way into the possession of W. H. Croft,
ieweler of this city, who maintained that
it was diamond. Several weeks ago he
was able to place it in the hands of Simon
Sichel, the famous lapidary of New York
for cutting. He has just had
the stone returned to him by Mr.. Sichel,
who says in letter accompanying it: "The
cutter can hardly believe that the crystal
was found in this country and he says it is
Brazil stone and very handsome one.
1t is cut and polished perfectly and is pro-
nounced a beauty by every one who has
seen it." Mr.. Croft will have
it mounted in Indiana gold,
also found in Brown county,
and wear it as stud, the stone weighing
one and one-sixty fourth carats. Another
stone was found near by the one described,
which is in the possession of a Mr.. Max
well, of Brown county, but that is imper-

New YORK, Feb. 6.-The Twenty-second
regiment again became notorious by the
attempt of young woman named Dollie
Ruma, to kill Lieut.. George E. B. Hart.
The shooting occurred near the armory on
Fourteenth street, where she met Hart by
appointment. When they met she drew
revolver and fired. He turned and ran,
and she followed, discharging the four re-
naming cartridges as fast as pos
sible. She was. arrested and gave
her age as nineteen. The
past summer, when the regiment returned
from the encampment, the woman fell in
love with member whose name she re-
fused to give. He accomplished her ruin
and deserted her. Hart, whom she had
known from childhood, besought her to
live with him. She did so till about two
weeks ago, when he too deserted her. She
had no money, and was maddened at the
thought of losing him, so determined o
kill him.

Dahomey's Mounted Artillery.

The king of Dahomy received an invoice
of Krupp's cannons not long ago and con-
ceived the idea of having them mounted
on elephants backs for use in the field,
saws the San Francisco Post. With much
difficulty this project was carried out, and
at the next military review the king Or
dered that one of the guns be fired imme-
diately in front of the royal palace, first
taking the precaution to place couple of
thousand of prisoners about where it was
calculated the ball would strike, SO as to
Judge of the effectiveness of the shot.
When all was ready one of the biggest ele-
plants was backed around and sighted.
just as the lanyard was jerked, however,
the animal turned half around to reach
for peanut or something, and the shell
took off the prime minister's head and
knocked hole as big as sewer through
the royal palace. His majesty wouldn't
have cared so much If the matter had ended
there--as the minister wasn't very prime,
and the palace needed ventilation--but it
didn't. On the contrary, the elephant,
which had been stood on its head by the
recoil, picked itself up in fury and start
ed in on the down grade ahead of its ticket.
It upset the grand stand the very first rush,
slung the grand chamberlain and past
grand carver of missionaries into the next
street. Itthen jumped into the brass band
with all four feet, and if it hadn't got the
bass drum over it's head SO that it couldn't
see, would probably have cleaned out the
entire congregation. The king was not
found until the next morning, and then,
as he slid down out of banana tree, he
was understood to remark that there was
only one thing needed to render his new
artillery system an entire success--that
| was to get the enemy to adopt it.

Biting Mary Anderson's Nose.

A scene shifter in Washington theatre
tells the following to reporter of the
Republican of that city,. "The public has
formed wrong impression of Mary An
derson. People think of her as living
iceberg. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. She is for all the world like a
big schoolgirl, chockful of animal spirits,
and oyerfloWing with jollity. Why,
have seen her bound into the wings, and,
in the exuberance of her frolicsome dispo-
sition, jump OH mans back and make
him carry her. Icebergs don't do that.
She is just the sweetest, incest and best
girl you ever met, and not a bit stuck up
when you come to know her. When Louis
James was playing Romeo to her Juliet,
in the theatre, two or three years ago, he
took her nose between his teeth when she
stopped over to take the poison off his lips,
and held her an unconscionable time.
Mamma Griffin saw what he was doing,
and she was in an agony of fear lest the
audience should see it, too. 'sJust look al
that devil!o she cried, coming over to
where | was standing; che is biting
Mary's nose right there on the stage! Oh
| wish could get at him - What cir
Gus there was when the curtain rans
down! Mary chased James all over tht
stage with 4 piece Of board, and the com
pany looked on and split their sides laugh
ing at the sight"

A Curious Story.

s4s Ysss Hasg Z 7sE4fE
A curious story comes from Cleveland
in regard to the anonymous novel, ''The
Bread Winners" began in the August
Century. The manuscript of the story is
said to have been found in the desk of the
late Leonard Case of that city, the bach
elor millionaire and munificent founder of
the Case School Of Applied Science. He
was man of amiable character of fine
culture and of remarkable natural abilities,
but his life was so elouded by constant i'll
health and by a singular constitutional
shyness that his talents were unknown
even to his own toWnspeople, and hardly
He wrote poems, sketches and tales tor his
own amusement, rarely publishing any
thing but an occasional mathematical pa
per in the transactions of the Smithsonian
Institution. The manuscript of ssThe
Bread Winners was found shortly after
his death, several years ago, in mass of
other documents, and only recently ex-
amined by his friends and executors. 1t
was put into the hands of competent
editor and prepared for the press, and then
submitted to Mr.. Glider of the Century
who at once accepted it for publication in
his magazine, declaring it one of the
strongest stories which has ever come in
to his hands. The personages are rather
thinly yelled portraits of Mr.. Cases friends
the hero being pretty generally recog-
nized as Col. William H. Harris, retired
army officer, whose house and grounds are
accurately described in the first chapter of
the novel.

A FLYING LEAP.
A Prisoner Jumps Through q win-
dow of a Northern Train,

BRAINERD. Aug. 26.-As the Northern
Pacific train which left Fargo for St. Paul
yesterday morning at O'Clock, was COM
ing along three miles east of Motley, a man
jumped from window. He was a pris-
oner in charge of Henry Rasicot of Little
Falls. Some three weeks ago the prisoner
and another man, who lived at Rich Prai-
rie, stole a couple of horses from a far mer
named Michael Sand. Great efforts have
been made to find the thieves and this
morning Rasicot, having found one of
them, put him on board the train at Fargo,
intending to accompany him to Little Falls.
The horse thief had shackles on his legs,
fastened by chain. While the train was
running at a speed of about twenty miles
an hour he went into the closet A few
minutes later it dawned Hpon the mind of
Rasicot that his prisoner had gone. The
closet was found to be empty and the VIM
dow open. The train was stopped and ran
back for a mile OF two, but no glimpse was
caught of the late prisoner. The train
started again and the conductor seeing
that Rasicot was still ON the Train, advised
him to get off and look for the alleged
thief. Rasieot followed his advice and
the train came on toward st. Paul.

and if he sWims the other mans elected.
But this plan would gain no votes for the
