A GAME OF BALL AT FENNIMORE.

Score of 35 to ).

About one thousand people assem-
bled at Fennimore on Monday. Oct. IL,
to witness game of ball between
Boscobel and Mineral Point, for a
purse of $50. The game commenced
favorably, Mineral Point going to bat
and being retired for goose egg. The
Boseobel boys made two runs in their
first innings. But in the second the
Pointers made four runs, through loose
playing in the field, and whitewashed
the Boseobel nine. After four innings
the game got TO be so much one-sided
that the only question was how many
runs Mineral Point would make. The

by ,Jacko and the catching by Van

had very little to do, but what they
did was done well.

DEALING WITH THE "FOUGHS."

Summary Vengeance Dealt Out TO the Lawless
Elements at JOhnstown.
JoHNsTowN, Pa.-The relief committee
returned TO work this morning with re-
newed vigor. The weather is most favor.
able, almost cool enough here this morn
ing for an overcoat. Carload after car
load of provisions arriving and the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks are blocked. The
train-master reports that there is plenty
en- route. This also is encouraging, be-
cause the demand now for provisions is
much greater than any time since the
flood. There are now some 1000 or 5000
laborers at work cleaning away the debris,
and they must be fed and housed. Thirty
five carloads arrived here this morning.
They organized into squads, each headed
by competent men, and the work is to be
carried on most systematically. Laborers
are what is most needed and they are be-
! ing sent in by carloads from adjoining
states. The outrageous conduct of some
''toughs" passes belief. This is why such
vigorous measures have to be adopted by
the police. 1t can be said on good
authority that number of these fends
have been killed and their bodies thrown
into the river without any report being
made. In every instance is was justifi-
able.

The Sahara Desert.
The Cornhill Magazine


The Sahara as a whole is not below sea
level; it is not the dry bed of a recent
ocean, and it is not as fat as the proven
bal pancake all over. Part of it, indeed,
is very mountainous, and all of it is more
or less varied in level. The Upper
Sahara consists of rocky plateau ris-
ing at times into considerable peaks !;
the lower, TO which it descends by steep
slope, is "a vast depression of clay and
sand,' but still for the most part stand
ing high above the sea level. No portion
of the Upper Sahara is less than 1900
feet high-a good deal higher than Dart
moor or Derbyshier. Most of the Lower
reaches from two to three hundred feet
quite as elevated as Essex or Leicester
The two spots below sea level consist of
the beds of ancient lakes, now much shrunk
by evaporation, owing to the present
rainless condition of the country; the
soil around these is deep in gypsum,
md the water itself is considerably
salter than the sea. That, however, is al
ways the case with fresh water lakes in
their last dotage. IS American biologists
have amply proved IN the case of the
Great Salt Lake of Utah. Moving sand
undoubtedly covers large space in both
divisions of the desert, but according TO
Sir Lambert Playfair, our best modern
authority on the subject, it occupies not
more than one-third part of the entire
Algerian Sahara. Elsewhere rock, clay,
and muddy lakes are the prevailing feat
ures, interspersed with not infrequent
date groves and villages, the product of
srtesian wells, or excavated spaces, Or
rivers GASES. Even Sahara, in short, to
give it it's due, Is not by any means SO
black as It's painted.

SENATOR sABIN's DIVORCE.
His Wife's Mania for Costly Clothes Led toIthe
Couples Legal Separation.

His Wife's Mania for Costly Clothes Led toIthe
Couples Legal Separation.
ST.. PAUL, Minn.-The report that ex-
Senator Sabin, of this State, had applied
for divorce from his wife on the ground
of hsbitual drunkenness from the use OF
liquors and morphine is true in that such
application was made some weeks ago and
has since been privately granted, the
whole affair being kept from the public
and being known only to a few intimate
frien Is of the ex-senator. Mrs. Sabin's
special mania is said to have been the ex
travagantly unnecessary purchase of cost
~ clothing for herself and adopted chill
dren when there was no demand for such
purchases, the mania having gone to the
point of seriously crippling Senator Sa
bin N his business. The divorce was
then resorted to az means of defense
against this tendency to extravagant
purchases. Mrs. Sabin is said to be now
located in an asylum for persons addicted
to the. opium habit at Flushing, Long
Island, the ex senator paying all her ex-
penses there. 1t is asserted that she had
been an invalid for some time before her
marriage, and from its use as a medicine
she became confirmed in the opium habit.
When Mr.. Sabin left the Senate his wife
requested that she be placed in this re-
treat. Mrs. Sabin did not contest the
suit

ficiaIly- grown scrap-fed duckliugs of the
interior is q far different bird from his
fsh-fsd brother of the coast. He has
been educated to a complete Indifference
to water except TO satisfy his thirst.
Taught to take on flesh and fat instead
of feathers, his body is widepea out aud
rounded off, and when properly denuded
of his feathers is a thing of beauty.
That there is big money In raising
ducks; everybody who as examined the
matter is agreed. Mr.. Rankin says he
gets from 120 to lao eggs annually from
each duck; the eggs are Matched artificial
~, the ducklings reared in brooders,
brought TO weigh nine to ten pounds to
the pair dressed, when 10 weeks old at q
cost of five cents per pound, and sell for
As cents pound for the earliest, down
to Is cents for the later ones. Even at
Is cents pound there is 200 per cent.
profit on the five cents a pound cost of
raising, SO it Is no wonder that poultry =
men are becoming interested in it. There
are few businesses paying minimum
profit of 200 per cent. in three to foar
months. The capital required for duck
culture is not large. The buildings can
be very cheaply built (the breeding
ducks have 70 be kept warm and dry dur
ing the winter to insure early laying)
and an acre of ground will accommodate
5000 ducklings. Mr.. Rankin describes
his pens as being 10 feet wide by 100 long
and these contain $50 duckiings, 5000
ducks, weighing AZ pounds apiece, and
selling at the minimum price of Is cents
pound, being $2O.25, and the cost five
cents pound), is but $675. Evidently
there is big money In raising ducks for
the market.

Blaine has been in communication with
Phelps regard ng verbal amend
ments to protocols, which were
submitted to Count Herbert and Sir Ed
ward Malet and accepted without com
ment. Official irritation over Blaine's
cautious scrutiny of the protocols is
abating with the growing recognition of
justice and the value that America places
upon the final and decisive settlement of
Samoan questions. The Impotence of
the foreign Office to close the matter has
not fastened the action of Lord Sails
bury AM more than it has Blaine. The
English commissioners do not attach
the slightest Importance to the dilatory
procedure of their foreign Office. As
soon as the Washington government Ca

Under Martial Law.

JoHNsTowN, Pa.-At noon on Thursday
the boroughs of Johnstown and the ad
joining boroughs, or what is left of them
Practically passed under martial law
Adjutant General Hastings says he has
not declared martial law yet. The soldiers
are on guard and no one is permitted be-
tween the lines without an order from
the Adiutant General. The sight-seers
are debarred altogether and the town is
inaccessible except to newspaper men
and other men who have business there.
Every point is guarded, and soldiers
patrol the dividing line. They are very
actine, and the deport themselves like old
veterans. They guard the approaches
religiously and have orders to stop any
one who crosses the line. A special
guard will have TO be put on at Kernville,
Millevale and Cambria City, and other
points, and this alone will take regiment
of soldiers. The Adiutant General was
at first backward in ordering out any
troops from the fact that it would natur-
ally create the impression that there was
trouble here. The only reason for calling
out the troops is to relieve the Pittsburg
and Johnstown policemen, who have had
little or no sleep for several days.

BLEW THEM FROM THE CANNON.
A Portland CobbIer Who Fought in the Con
quest of India.
Portland Press

At,57 Washington street lives John Mat
thews. His peaceful industry and the
gray hairs of SO years have won the good
will of the neighbors, who take a kindly
interest in the upeventful ways of the
old mans life. But those who have drawn
from him the story of his youth know
that long ears ago he was an unwilling
partlci pant in one OF the most horrible
wars ever waged by civilized man. En-
listing in the English army when only II,
in 1920, he was sent to Bombay, where the
British were vet carving out by conquest
their magnificent empire in India. At
that time the Sikhs, the proudest race of
Indianswarriors, were lords from the Indus
to the Ganges, and were able TO bring
into the field an army of 10000. All
horsemen. Against these Sikhs the army
of which JohE Matthews vas a soldier was
sent to serve.
1t was horrible war. ''We destroyed
every village" says the old cobbIer, "we
tore up the rice GsWamps, and we spared
neither man, woman nor child. Whenever
we took any prisoners they were stood in
line, athe women with their babes, the
other children and the men, and cannon
charged to the muzzle with chainshot and
grape, moved them down. 1t was hor-
rible, but they did as cruelty by our peo-
pie.
81 remember one night we captured
party of men, women and children. 1t
was late, and we decided to wait until
morning before putting them to death.
The prisoners were chained by one long
chain and left to await their fate. They
were very proud and would not die by the
hands of white man if they could help
it.
Sometime that night they found dry
well In the camp, about so feet deep, and
rather than die by our cannon they came
to the horrible decision to cast themselves
into this well. The women with their
children went first, SO far as the chain
would allow, and the rest followed in the
order in which they were chained. In the
morning we found them, most of them
suffocated. The saprers and min ers were
ordered up, earth ana stones were thrown
in upon them, and the well became their
grave. I remember that at the time the
occurrence was regretted because we lost
the chain.
GIN that campaign l participated in
two forlorm hopes, where we scaled
Sikh entertainments with ladders end
fought hand to hand with the Sikhs
within. Yet escaped without scratch"
