HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. ga wild
animal, supposed to be a panther es
capped from a menagerie, has thrown
the country around Dauphin into the
greatest state of excitement. Its first
appearance was about two weeks ago
on the farm of Reilly Bogner, on the
slope of Peters mountain. Towards
midnight Bogner was aroused by a fu-
rious stampede of his cattle from the
field in which he had put them to pas
ture. Next day his hired man stun
bled upon IAN animal tAwny in color,
about seven feet long and higher than
q good-sized shepherd dog" The ami
NAL appeared to have dined, for he
merely snarled and fed. Within the
next few days it was seen by several
other people and a regular reign
of terror set in. No one ventures
out after dark. During the day search
parties armed with rifles and shotguns
hunt for it in the places where it's ter
rife screenings were heard the pre-
ceding night, but thus far no trace of
the brute can be found.

remained at work stated positively that
they had seen no new men at work.

representative showed Grand Master
Workman Powderly the dispatch from

not be ordered by the Federation. Mr..
Powderly said it was the first intima-
ton he had received of such action but
declined to talk, saying that 1t would
not be policy for him to make any
comments upon it until officially noti-
fed.
He did not seem to be very much
surprised or downfallen at the result,
but went to his supper in good spirits.
Local labor leaders, however, looked
very glum and were evidently very
much displeased at the action of the
Council. Secretary Hayes said:
eff the dispatch is true, it means a
q singls-handed fight with the
Knights doing the fighting and the
other organizations aiding financially. +"

Her Darling In a Tree.

Near Rsine's -four mill stands hemlock
tree, which is probably 100 feet high, at
the butt is all of six feet in circumference,
and is minus limbs for at least ten feet up
its jagged trunk. On the extreme top of
the tree wild grapevine blossomed and
bore fruit this season, and number OF the
young lads have climbed the tree at various
times 10 secure this luscious fruit. DR.. E.
NJ. Sloan lives near this locality, and is the
father of bright, pretty little daughter,
who is now in her 9TH year, and is not
overly large for her age. This little miss
has often looked with covetous eyes on the
success of the boys in securing the grapes,
and lately she concluded to try the same
method edopted by them. When dis
covered she was on one of the topmost
limbs, standing upright, holding herself in
position with one hand, while with the
other she was gathering the finest punches
of grapes.
Her mother having missed the little lady
went in serch of her, and discovering her

slightly expresses her feelings, but knowing
that to show any signs of fear might cause
the little one to lose courage, she spoke to
her in her usual pleasant manner, and
commanded her to come down immediate
ly. The little one, always quick to obey,
Immediately proceeded to do so, and as
nimbly as a squirrel she climbed down the
tree and landed safely on the ground. A
number of persons had gathered near
while she was coming down, and while
words of surprise were expressed at her
nimbleness, yet a feeling of fear for her
safety was felt by all. 1t was a daring feat.

animal and vegetable matter is due to oxy-
gen, which, BY its combination with them,
breaks them up into simpler substances.
II is this slow oxidation which rids the
earth, the air and the sea of their impuri-
ties-a sort of smouldering fire which con-
sumes all waste matter. Its slight solu-
bility in water enables it to remove impui-
ties from below the surface Of lakes, rivers,
etc, thus keeping the water pure. The
part played by oxygen in nature is of the
greatest Importance. 1t is q sort Of key
stone in the arch Of chemic al elements,
holding them in their proper places by the
vast number Of combinations it makes
with them
One of the practical consequences of DR..
Priestley's discovery, Prof. Liebig observes:
Since the discovery of oxygen, the civiliz-
ed world has undergone revolution in
manners and customs. The knowledge of
the composition of the atmosphere, of the
solid crust of the earth, Of water, and of
their influence upon the life Of plants and
