The Hunter and the Grizzly.

Inever killed or trapped grizzly south
of Manitoba that measured more than
seven feet and half from nozzle to tail,
with probably the same girth, or one that
weighed more than /, 200 pounds. 1t was
no rare thing, at least ten years ago, to
be confronted in the solitudes of Manitoba
by one of these monsters nine feet in
length, nine in girth and with n bulk Of
1000 pounds or more. When Manitoba
grizzy throws itself on it's great launches
and rises up before hunter, it towers
often five or six feet above him, and it
takes q brave man to stand in that most
formidable presence, with steady nerves
and Il cool head. [ have more than once
discovered the measuring mark of q
grizzly's front claws on the bark of a tree
trunk seventeen feet from the ground.
Imagine coming suddenly upon beast
like that in some deep ravine or some
isolated spot almost impossible with down
timber, and surrounded by rocks and
thick underbrush. The sight of his great
jaws, open and red, and his eyes flashing
in fury at you from the enormous head
that towers so far above you, is some
thing only to be appreciated when oncS
seen.-NeW York Sun.

HOY Veal Is Classified.

Lovers of veal know when they get q
good article. Further than that they give
the matter but little attention. Among
the trade there are half dozen grades; to
the general buyer there is but one kind
that the butcher offers. An outsider,
should he go among the calf men at West
Albany, would hear such expressions as
S'Send that bunch of firecrackers to New
York" ''Do you want to buy any grass
ers or fed?'' Chow are buttermilks
quoted this morning?'' 'sVeals are firra
and wanted" The dealers ignore the
word calf entirely. Journal.

A soldiers Special Pension.

Benjamin Franklin, of the Second Min
nesota volunteers, is the only man on the
government pension rolls who sacrificed
both hands and feet in the late civil war,
and as there is no provision of law ap-
plicable TO such special cases, a bill will
be presented to congress increasing the
pension he now receives to $3.50 a month.
He now receives the pay provided for
soldier or a sailor who has lost both hands.
Or both feet.-New York World.

A COUNTY SEAT ROW
A Regular War Raging Between Tw
Rival Towns.

a suiur war Raging between Two
Rival Towns.
Topeka, Kas., Feb. 3.---Dispatchcs gave
particulars, few days ago, OF the contest
between the towns OF Eustis and Good
land for the county seat OF Sherman coun-
ty. The latter town was seemingly tho
winner at the election, but the ed officers
were in Eustis, and refused TO GER
tify 10 the new election and surrender
the records. Then the Goodland people
armed themselves and forcibly seized the
records, holding their rivals at bay with
revolvers and turpentine balls, with which
they threatened 10 burn the town Of Eus-
ts II resistance was offered. Upon an APP
peal to him, Gov. Martin appointed Gen.
Adam Dixon and Capt McGrath, Of the
State militia, TO go TO the scene OF the dis
turbance and enforce the law, ii IL was
necessary TO call out the militia. Gen.
Dixon has submitted report to the Gov
crnor, saying that he has been working on
the case for week, with little hope Of an
amicable settlement of the controversy.
Both parties are armed and fortified, the
towns being only two niles apart, and the
feeling between them very bitter and hos
tile. He says the Eustis faction will be
satisfied with nothing but criminal pro-
ceedings against the Goodlanders for the
seizure OF the county records, regardless Of
the consequences OF the delay in settle
ment, and the further distraction of the
communities. Trade is at standslill, no
crops TO market, taxes high, money scarce,
very little work for the ordinary mechanic
and laborer while the land office in Obei-
lin refuses TO give claimants their final land
proofs, for the reason that the records at
tho county seat are incomplete and not
available. Gen. Dixon adds "While no
train Of circumstances can justify the law
less invasion Of Eustis by an armed mob,
IL is TRUE that the direct cause OF the out
rage was the greedy oycrrcaching OF Eus,is
in refusing the officers elect their official
positions, and after the most searching In.
yestigation, find that the general election,
and also the election for the county scat,
was good average Of such elections in
