Wisconsin's homely executive enjoys a wide
reputation as q spinner of yarns, and none
does he tell with keener relish than those at
his own expense. Governor Hoard possesses
in a high degree the indescribable "knack"
of telling stories.
The governor tells a story, which, as re-
lated by him, is intensely funny, of a Yam
kee, who had a speedy team, which, he
claimed, had never been passed but once.
One day the Yankee overlook a funeral pro-
ceSsion which had been brought to halt by
the giving out Of one of the horses which
drew the hearse. The Yankee volunteered
the use of his horses to take the place of the
other team, and in afew moments he found
himself on the hearse driving slowly his
speedy animals Just at this juncture a
rival whom he had frequently vanquished
on the race track came speeding by, evidently
highly exultant at once getting his old adj
versary at a disadvantage Human nature
asserted itself in the Yankee, however, and
he let his horses out Then an exciting race
was begun, which only ceased on the part of
the Yankee when he was overtaken by man
who rode up at furious rate on horseback
and told him that "there was funeral pro-
ceSsion half mile back which was willing to
put in little time in lugubrious way if it
only had a corpse to head it." This was the
only time the Yankee was free to confess that
he had ever been passed on the road.-Chi-

'NAYDOWN AT OZARK
Affairs in the Nest of the Missouri
Bald-KnObbers.
A PECULIAR STATE OF THINGS.
What They Call Having a Good Time---The
Jail Delivery---The Fatal Exploit
Three Daisies.

The peculiar condition Of society among
the Bald Knobbers of Missouri is beautifully
illustrated by the free talk Of the men now
in the jail at Ozark and by their friends out
side. Dave Walker, the chief, is such frank
and clear eyed gentleman that it is hard to
doubt his account of the Groen-Edens muir
der. He says no tried his best 20 keep the
crowd from starting out that night and went
with them reluctantly. They wore on their
way to spill out some whisky at q place
where it was being Illegally sold, when they
passed the Edens house, where they saw
lights burning brighter than usual Sew
eral of the younger members OF the party,
among whom was Bill Walker, left
the main body of the party to see what
was going on in the house.
The chief and another man followed, call
ing the others back, but to no purpose The
party ahead of them knocked at the door and
were admitted peaceably, but the next in
slant there was a shot, followed after pause
by several others in quick succession. As
stated in previous accounts, Bill Walker re-
ceived a severe wound and Green and Edens
were killed in the ARRAY.
Bill Walker was not quite IS years old
Ehen he took part in the fatal exploit. Al
Aaough he shows the effects of two years con-
fnement and is somewhat emaciated, his
bearing is still erect, and everybody agrees
that he is handsome.
The Jail breaking at Ozark in Christmas
week was generally attributed to the Bald
Knobbers. Dave Walker, the Knobber chief,
and his son, who were confined there, re-
fused TO go with the rest, however, and this
caused some doubt as to whether the organi-
cation was responsible. The accounts of the
affair which were published at the time were
unsatisfactory and there has been great
deal of curiosity on the subject ever since.
John and Wiley Matthews, the two other
Bald Knobbers who were in the Jail at the
time, took advantage of the opportunity and
made good their escape. Wiley was traced
through the country a considerable distance,
but was finally lost sight of by pursuing JUS
tice His brother John was not so persever-
iAg and after lodging the officers a couple of
Gays gave himself up.
Claibe Rucker, a prisoner who was acting
as guard at that time and who was given the
liberty OF the Jail on account Of supposed
truscworthiness, was found tied down and
gagged. His account of the affair seemed a
peculiar one and he has since been kept
locked UP in the cage with the other pris-

The annals of alienism certainly never
showed queerer phase of epidemic madness
and sentimentalism carried to the extreme
which made it a disease than the assumption
by some 10000 young women Of Bavaria Of
the ''vows Of Ludwig The ''vows" were
on this wise: When the king was in the hey
day Of his peculiar reputation for eccentricity
and avowed himself confirmed celibate be-
cause his heart had been wrung, societies
were formed of girls who vowed to devote
themselves to perpetual virSinity as long as
the beloved king remained in that mind, to
pray for his happiness and to sympathiZe with
him. These declarations were called the
''vows of Ludwig" and it is claimed that at
the time of his death there were 900 of these
very peculiar sisters, -" who afterwards spoke
of themselves as widows of Ludwig"
The beautiful memorial monument set up
at the place where the king drowned himself,
taking his physician, DR.. Gudden, with him,
soon became a sort of weeping place for these
silly maidens, and even for sad and romantic
Young men, and soon two wealthy sisters,
harnesses, drowned themselves there. Their
bodies were soon recovered and found ar
rayed like those Of brides, even to the orange
wells, and with portraits Of the mad king
next their hearts. And so the mania has
spread till eleven suicides are reported, in
Guiding two young men who drowned them
selves there on the last Valentines Day. And
now the government has to maintain guard
there to check the endemic madness
King Ludwigs first love, a beautiful and
high minded baroness, died when he was quite
young and he suffered long period of melan-
choly. He was afterwards engaged to the
Princess Sophie, daughter of Duke MaxiInil-
ian, but the match was broken OFF, and since
his death she has become insane. So the sad
record goes, as sad almost as that Of the I'M
fortunate Carlotta, of Mexico. The inter
marriages and peculiar lives of the royal
families of Europe havo affected and afflicted
the whole stock, and the citizens of a republic
may properly indulge pious hope that the
end Of the whole wretched system is not
far off

Making Money by Raising skunls.


Mr.. Joseph Lininger, who lives about
twenty miles northeast Of this city, is pro-
prietor of skunk ranch, probably the only
one in the state Mr.. Lininger established
lis ''skunkery" last spring with only few
animals, and now there are fifty in the cor
raj. II setout," remarked the proprietor
when interviewed, ''to raise 500 of the ami
mails before slaughtering any, and at the
present rate Of increase it will not be long be-
fore that number Is realized" How about
the odorl" was asked. ''There is none what
ever; you can go right up to the corral, and
defy you to tell by the odor that there Is q
skunk in the neighborhood.
''They never eject their acrid and offensive
fluid except as means Of self defense, and if
they are not molested there is no danger.
Besides, it is very easy matter to remove
from the kittens the glands containing the
offensive secretions, and thus disarm them
for life. The skunk is an animal easily
raised, and is quite valuable for its oil and
fur. The skin is worth from IS cents to
sl.5O, and the yield Of oil is about Of the
same value. They have from six to ten
young at a time and breed several times in a
season, the same as rabbits Ny attention
was called to this industry by a man in Ten
nessee, who has grown rich out of skunk
raising. wabash Qnd.) Special.

JOHN MATTHEWS
DAVE WALKER

JOHN MATTHEWS. DAVE WALKER
The Walkers, with Rucker and the recap
tured burglars, did not make very happy
kf2mily, but whatever cause they had for dis
J agreement was kept pretty well to themselves
until a few days ago Sheriff johnson, on
entering the jail Saturday night, found the
Knobber chief with both eyes gouged nearly
out and John Matthews with one of his optics
In a similar condition.
Rucker and young Walker did not show
any marks of violence, but glared at each
other in a way to show that there was some
great cause of unpleasantnesS between them.
But the prisoners only laughed at tho sheriff
when he asked for information, and shut up
tight like terrapins when anybody else was
around They claimed to have been having
little fun" and told their attorney it was
all on account of G dispute about the way to
saddle horse. It now turns out that the
fight and the i'll feeling which caused it were
due to the fact that tho Walkers knew more
about the Jail delivery than was entirely
satisfactory to Rucker and his associates,
who handled them pretty roughly. 1t ap-
pears that the delivery was planned by
Rucker and the burglars in the Jail Rucker
was bound ard gagged for blind and the
hole made in the wall for tho same purpose,
the escape being effected without the aid of
outside parties as at first reported.
John Matthews had more exercise than was
agreeable during the time he was trying to
escape from the pursuing officers after the
jail delivery during Christmas week. He had
such hard time keeping out of the way that
he grew tired of his precarious liberty after
couple of days and returned to prison of his
own accord. He reads his Bible great deal
and says that he knows, no matter what may
happen in this world, that he will not be held
accountable in the next for the murder with
which he is charged He has an aged mother
afflicted with blindness and family Of nine
children dependent upon him. They are in
destituta circumstances. Walker also has
family which needs Lis care, consisting of q
wife and six children.

A POOL FOR SUICIDES.

Lake starnberg, Where Ludwig, King of
Bavaria, Drowned Himself
King Ludwig Of Bavaria drowned himself
on June Is, 1856, in the beautiful Lake Starn-
berg, and made the place fashionable for that
business; so eleven other persons, most OF
them of the higher ranks, have since drowned
themselves there The king seems not only
to have been crazy himself but to have had
the fatal gift of making many crazy who
came near or took an interest in Him. His
early disappointment in love, his pathetic
melancholy and his freaks in music and
poetry created a sort of mania, and senti-
mentally silly young people thought it quite

is the son of Prince David Eristoff, Of Poti
Caucasus, and was born at Kutais, Russia, on
the 10th Of October, 1854. He will be remem-

with the Marquis de Leuville, who was at one
time on the point of marrying Mrs Frank
Leslie, when the engagement was broken.
The prince was recently arrested on charge
of swindling preferred by fur dealer, but
was released by the police justice, who held
