U. S. DISTRICT COURT.
Jake Tobler Found Guilty of Murder in the
First Degree-He is Stolid and Indifferent.

The trial Of Jake Tobler, the -year-old
Negro-Creek Indian, who with his brother
Joe was accused of having murdered Cass
and Goodykountz 1.-TWO white mem on Au-
gust 16, 1885, was resumed yesterday morn
ing. A large number of witnesses were
examined and the testimony was so clear
that the jury was out only about fifteen
minutes when they arrived at verdict OF
guilty of murder as charged in the in
dictment
The prisoner was unmoved by the an
uouncement of the verdict and retained
the same quiet Indifference that he has
shown all through the trial. He had moth
ing to say after the verdict was announced.
Rected briefly, the circumstances Of the
affair are as follows: During the early
part of August, 1885. Messrs. Cass and
Goodykountz, a couple of prominent mer-
chants at Vinita, in the Indian Territory,
started through the territory to Texas.
On the night of August 16 they were
overtaken by the two Toblers, who
went into camp near them. During
the night the two boys stole up on
their sleeping victims ard each shot his
man twice killing the two in cold blood.
horses, a in money, a gold watch and a
ring from the dead men and drove to the
house of their uncle where few days
later they were arrested and made a con-
fession TO some six or seven persons. The
remains had been identified by a brother
of one Of the murdered men. A half breed
Indian heard the shots and altogether
made clear case against the prisoners.
Considerable argument was heard on the
matter of admitting the confessions OF the
two boys, but the court admitted it. The
confession was in accordance with the
facts as stated here. This together with
the property found in their possession told
the tale
The trial of the other brother, who is
| about two years younger, will be com
menced this morning. There are several
other important murder trials to came UP
this term. If Judge Foster pushes things
like he has started out the term will lot
last longer than three weeks.

Bridging the English Channel.

The scheme of constructing bridge over
the English channel has just been completed.
It has been worked out by the Creusot engi-
neers and N. Hersent, ex-president Of the
Society Of Civil Engineers. The progress Of
metallurgy makes the construction possible
Of an immense bridge, thirty kilometers long,
with platform at the height of fifty meters
above the sea at full tide, and supported by
piles at distances Of 500 meters The height
allowed for the bridge over the channel
would allow large steamers and sailing ves-
sells to pass freely. It would support four
railway lines, besides a road for carriages
and footpaths. This will be satisfactory for
those who dread sea sickness. The only
trouble left them will be that of choosing
their mode Of ocomotion-whether by rail
way carriage, omnibus, cab or veiocipede.
Places of refuge, watch houses and alarm
bells will be placed on each pile, with pow
erful light
The authors Of this gigantic scheme believe
that the foundations may be constructed by
means Of compressed air diving bells, the
depth Of the strait between Calais and Dover
not being, on an average, more than from
twenty-five to thirty-nine meters, and in few
places exceeding fifty meters. The bridge
will cost 6OO,000,000 francs, its metallic
weight will amount to 2,oooooo tons, and it
might be constructed in six years The
scheme will shortly be submitted for exami-
nation to an international technical commit
tee. When this examination has been COM
pleted, the Channel Bridge society will apply
for concession to the French and English
governments, from which it will ask for no
subsidy. Under these conditions the con-
cession might be easily granted and the work
Immediately begun. In a few years the
commerce of the two nations would benefit
from the simpifcation introduced into their
relations by the execution of a work which
might be considered as one of the most i'm
portant of the century,-Paris Temps.

FARMER" HOARD.

Nominated for Governor by the Wisconsin
Republicans.
W. D. Hoard, the Republican nominee for
governor Of Wisconsin, has during his 6a
years Of life been farmer, q soldier, an edi-
tor, dairyman and again farmer. He is
also most artistic story teller.
When the war broke out he was living in
Lake Mills, Jefferson county, Wis. He was
the first man to volunteer from that town,
and on May 81, 1861, he joined the Fourth
regiment Of Wisconsin volunteers. Among
the battlefields on which he fought was that
Of Cedar Greek, in the Shenandoah valley.
One of his best stories is Of this battle.
It seems that a few months before the en-
gagement he had captured a thoroughbred
Virginia mare. The captain had tried her,
but found her too vicious to be Of any use,
and had turned her over to Hoard, who,
after many trials, had succeeded in subduing
her. When the day Of battle came he lost
his way while carrying out orders, and was
suddenly confronted on dirt road by q
lieutenant in command Of squad Of Con-
federates, who called upon him to surrender.
He thought, as he graphically puts it:
''Astride Of 1900 years Of straight specific
breeding, and surrenderl Neverl"
Lying down on the neck of his little horse
he said: ''Susan, get out Of here immedi-
ately." Susan got out, the Confederate
squad in hot pursuit. There were thirteen

Concerning Its Development In the Beasts
Of the Field.
Apparently developed In a much greater
degree than that Of horses Is the scenting
power Of cattle. Most animals seem to identi
fy their young by their smell The barbar.
Gus custom still prevails throughout the
country Of placing the hide Of q butchered
calf before its mother to stop her mournful
lowing. It would be rating human acun1en
rather high to suppose that mother could
recognize her baby by its skin, yet COW will
identify the bloody relic Of her offspring and
instantly cease her noisy grief. Yard fed
cattle nose their hay filed racks aud bins,
and from the many varieties of dried fodder
select only such as will please their palates
and nourish their bodies
Cows eat many kinds Of fungi-the COM
mon puffball when young, mushrooms, fairy
ring champignon, and some wood growing
toadstools, by which their milk is much
affected; but by far the greater number they
pass untouched with q contemptuons sniff.
The pig, from the well known and proverb-
ial length of its combination nose, would
naturally be expected to have en-
larged olfactory sense, and SO It has.
When its omnivorous appetite is con-
sidered, and it Is remembered that it seeks
the greater part Of its food by blowing
under the surface Of the ground to obtain it,
where it cannot see and must detect it by the
process of smelling before it can get it to its
mouth to taste it, its discernment of the
edible and non-edible from the countless
things its nose encounters is, to say the
least. highly complimentary to that much
derided organ It is said that Learned pigs"
(they are worthy Of capitals, are first trained
to their card playing accomplishments by
placing grains of corn under such cards as
they are afterward by signs instructed to
move.
The ground mole, with fur covered eyes,
capable at the best Of discerning bright light

structed nostrils Sheep are even more dainty
than cattle in selecting their nourishment
and, like all other animals, depend almost
entirely upon the sense Of smell Lambs

will seek them out in large herd But ex-
perience goes to show that sight and hearing
are auxiliary to scent in some cases, as lambs

AFTER THE FLOOD.

AFTER THE FLOOD. y
Huntington bridge at Cincinnati which re-
Gently gave way is an example of this. The
tributaries to the Ohio river had for some
time been receiving rain, until the river
itself became swollen and carried vast guam
titles Of drift wood on its bosom. The engi-
neers Of the bridge became apprehensive
and resorted to every expedient that could
be devised to conduct the drift wood through
the channel that had been left open. Never
theless great quantities of wood continued
to pile itself against the trestle or false work
Of the bridge. Tho engineers were unable
to steer 1t past. A large portion Of the
bridge, especially on the Kentucky side, had
been finished and the workmen were engaged
on the channel span. There was space of
500 feet over the channel, built up with q
structure of wood, On top Of which the
bridge was being completed. This structure
was 100 feet high, and on top Of it was
traveller 104 feet high. Thus the whole
stood at an altitude Of more than 200 feet,
loaded with iron, freight cars, etc. The
''traveler" in this instance was used to take
up the iron brought on the bridge and carry
it along. Finally the pressure on the struc-
ture was greater than it could bear. At
about $50 o'clock on Sunday morning, Aug.
26, the vast frame work, with its iron, and
cars, and such material as was essential in
the building, trembled and fell with report
that could be heard for miles.

the distance between HIM and the yelling
squad momentarily increasing. Finally, he
says, the feeling Of fear Of the rebel bullets
was lost in enthusiasm over the performance
Of the little mare In his own words. he "be-
came so excited in seeing that wonderful
stride, that tremendous fire, that wonderful
reaching for the ground in front, that tre-
mendous hurting away Of it in the rear, that
condensation Of the heredity of 1900 years
laid into that little body, became so In
spired with it that reached back and
motioned the lieutenant to come on. He re-
sponded with shot from his revolver. Zip
went the bullets past my ear, but paid no
attention to them, so intent was in watching
the little -aara do har duty. By and by
began to see the gap widen between us, and
then came this wonderful quality called en-
durance Suppose her line Of heredity had
failed in one particularl She would have
laid down by the road and Hoard would
have gone to Libby prison, If his life had
been spared"
A few days tafterward, he says, he was
placed in charge Of the prisoners taken by
the victorious Federal army. Among them
was the very lieutenant who had commanded
the squad which had pursued Hoard, and
they soon became fast friends.
The captain Of Hoard's company eventually
got the little mare, and Hoard didn't see her
for six years or more. He had never struck
her a blow, and a genuine affection had
sprung up between them. When be entered
the paddock he gently called "Little Girl"
When the mare heard him, he says. she
raised her head, and he again called 'Lttle
Girl" That was enough; the little mare
went across the paddock on the run, and ca
ressed him with whinny as glad as the COO
Of baby"
"Then," Mr.. Hoard says, ''with touch Of
maternal pride, she trotted across the pad
dock to her colt, and brought it back to
show me-"
Mr.. Hoard was born In New York state In
1852, and moved to Wisconsin in 1857. His
childhood and manhood until the war time
were spent on farm. Since then he has
been something Of dairyman as we'll as
farmer, editing for time dairy paper.
