Every one has noticed while driv-
ing how rarely horse steps on a
stone, even when going very rapidly.
A writer quotes an old cavalryman
as saying that horse never steps on
a man intentionally. 1t is a stand
ing order with cavalry that should a
man become dismounted, he must
lie down and be perfectly still. If he
does so the entire company will pass
over him and he will not be injured.
A horse notices where he is going
and is on the lookout for firm ioun-
dation to put his foot on. 1t is an
instinct with him, therefore, to step
over PROSTATE man. The injuries
caused by runaway horse are near
ly always inflicted by the animal
knocking down m en-, not by stepping
on them.

In QUEST OF MODELS. Henry Sonar.
stein, a New York sculptor, has been in
Buffalo sometime at work on plastic statues.
He has experienced great difficulty in secur
ing models and is greatly disgusted at the
prudery of Buffalo women. he advertised
for young women of good form to pose for
the artist and got plenty of answers. The
first applicant he visited was very pretty.
Her mother said, "Well, We saw your no
tice in The paper, and told Jennie if she
could make few pennies by letting re-
spectacle man paint her face / didn't see as
there was anything wrong in it," The ar
tist explained that he wanted the model for
q nine foot nude statue of a female char
acter of Morse mythology. $50 you gee" ;"
he began, but the woman never let him
finish. Jennie snrieked and few from the
room crying, and her mother said she never
supposed gentleman could insult lady so
nasely. At another place the big brother
was called in. The artist had all he could
DO TO save himself from thrashing. Final
ly ne got four young women, who promised
to come to his study and when the time came
all "hnnked" One wrote that her mother
had threatened tobreak her neck. A. Young
woman ksown as the Countess" to whom
the artist was directed as possessing mar.

CRIMINALS WANTED.
Governor Martin Offers Large Rewards for
Law Breakers

TOPEKA, Oct. Ex-Governor Martin
today issued proclamation offering a re-
ward of $500 for the arrest and conviction
of Thos. j. Goodin, late treasurer of Raw
Inns county, who is a fugitive from justice,
charged with ENLIGHTENMENT of the public
funds Gooden left Atwood, the county
seat with his valise containing something
over $4,000. saying that he was coming to
Topeka to make his second semi-annual
settlement with the state treasurer. He
has never been heard from since in this
part of the country and has, it is presumed,
gone to join the Canadian colony. it is
not likely that he will ever be captured.
The governor also issued proclamation
offering IA reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the party guilty of the COT
feyville dynamite outrage, and further
reward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of each and every person &C
cessory to the crime. The crime
alluded to in this proclamation
was committed October Is, 1885 when an
unknown man who gave his name as ''P
Jason" placed in the hands of the agent of
the Pacific Express at Coffeyville a pack
axe which exploded while in said agent S
hands. resulting in the death of his wife
and daughter, MrSs Upham and Miss
Mabel Upham. There is a strong reason
to believe that the party consigning the
package is guilty Of premeditated murder

basket of bananas, a colored man with
bucket of lime on his head, an inebriated
sailor, white girl with new pair of shoes
under her arm, and a countryman in a cheap
blue suit, with a sachel seemingly quite
heavy, were all walking down Main street
yesterday toward the Catharine ferry. The
bull pup was ahead Of the procession. His
tail stuck out straight, his eyes cleaned and

denly the Irish woman slipped on piece of

the basket violently on the monkey. The

ner. The house members are all here and
the senate members have signified their
intention of being in the city on next
Monday, when the full committee will
meet and organize. The house committee
has issued a call upon the war department
for all such contracts and other documents
relating to the construction of the tunnel,
so that when the full committee meets on
next Monday the work can be arranged.
1t is probable that Mr.. Ryan and one other
mem Der of the committee will remain TO
arrange all the details necessary to carry
on the investigation. Mechanical
experts familiar with tunnel ma
chinery will be employed. The court
of inquiry, ordered by the war de-
partment to investigate the same mat
ter will meet in this city Thursday.
Brig. Gen. Kruger, whose headquarters are
in ST. Paul, and Col. Hodges have tele
graphed that they will be on hand. Col.
Craighill, who is stationed at Baltimore,
and Lieut. Davis, on duty at Washington

court. They will conduct an inquest aside

cH,FFARTHtJR ON ACCIDENTS.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 23.-Chief Arthur
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive en-
gineers, was asked today: Are railroad
accidents more frequent at this time than
they were twenty-five years ago, all things
considered?'
''No, decidedly not" he said. when
we take into consideration the num-
Der of miles Of railway in
operation, the number of trains
running and the number Of passengers,
and the amount Of all kinds of freight con-
veyed. the number of accidents is smaller
in proportion than it was in the early days
number of passenger and freight trains
running and at the speed which this run
ming, go-ahead age demands, accidents are
far less frequent than they were many years
ago. The proportion of passengers killed or
injured in comparison to the number con-
veyed is small, and in majority of cases
the cause is the mistake of some one. AS
far as providing safety, combined with
speed, the railroads of the country are fast
reaching the highest point. | believe that,
as years roll by, accidents viii be still less
frequent, but some will occur as long as
the world stands. The block system
in use on the Pennsylvania lines is
one of the best safeguards against acct
dents. Under this no train can leave one
station until the next one has been heard
from. This is almost perfect, and will no
doubt be generally adopted Nothing but
bunder on the part of the operator can
cause an accident by this method, as the
track is always clear for incoming and
outgoing trains"

DISAPPOINTED CHINESE MINISTER

A DISAPPOINTED CHINESE MINISTER.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-The Rev. Jeu
Hauk, the only regularly ordained Chris
tian 'Campbellite' Chinese minister in
this country, arrived here last week from
st. Louis with the intention of going to
China for wife. When he started out he
had no idea of the stringency of the new
exclusion act, and supposed there would
be no obstacle TO the admission of the
wife of preacher. He saw
Vice Consul Bee and Others.
and learned that while he could
return himself. the chances were ali
against the admission of Chinese wife.
The preacher finally decided to return to
St. Louis, and today bought his ticket.
Hauk is an Intelligent looking Chinese.
dressed in regular clerical costume, with
single breasted coat and white necktie.
He speaks excellent English, and has the
diploma of brakes Theological seminary
at Des Moines la. He says he will re-
turn 70 San Francisco when the present
anti-Chinese feeling is over, and then
hopes to get his spouse from the fowery
kingdom.
