Orono Ladies Fail to Prevent the
Issuance of a License.
The county commissioners met yes
terday morning. The first thing that
came up was the question whether or
not Otto Olson and John Smith should
be permitted to sell liquor at Orono.
Several women appe AIRED and told what
a detriment the selling of liquor is to
the village: but it had no effect Cd the
commissioners, it not having been
proven that it was sold to minors or
other improper persons. The license
was granted.
Numerous Minnetonka improvement
matters came up. A petition signed by
Henry Winecke, A. c. Haugen and
others, asking that a channel be cut be-
tween the waters of Crystal bay and the
North arm, and that the latter be
dredged. was presented. Another petit
ton requesting the cutting of channel,
whereby the distance between the Hotel
Lafayette and the Chapman house
would be shortened four miles.

Negotiations for Its Sale to a Syn

Again is the tongue of gossip predict
ing another change in the proprietor
ship of the Times. This time it is a
syndicate, composed of men who are
more or less concerned in politics, that
is reported to be negotiating for the
purchase of that paper for the purpose
of making it Democr attic newspaper,
pure and simple There has long been
talk of the field for Democratic paper
published in Minneapolis, and that gos-
sip now seems about to be realized. 1t
is well-known fact that the Times has
not been success financially; and, as
c. A. Nimocks. who owns large pOr-
ton of the paper, is a poor loser, it is
not strange that he is deslrous of pull
ing out. The deal has progressed so far
that but the full acquiescence of one or
two men, who are favorable to the
project, is necessary to its final consum-
nation. 1t is extremely probable that
within couple of weeks the Times will
change hands.

A SAD CALAMITY.

He held her lissome, 1.-THE and supple form
Pressed close against his throbbing, heav-
ing breast,
Which did its daily athrobbing underneath
A brand new, snowwhite, ninety-eight-
cent vest.
She laid her bonny, curly. golden head
In playful mood upon that vest so white;
And swore that she, forever and day,
Would love him, and stick by him, come
what might.
Next morning, when he looked at his new
vest
He vowed he'd have no more to DO with
girls:
He HAD to pay Sing High Ling fifty cents
To wash out marks left by her golden curls

A PeddIer Tells OF n Chinese Lily Growing
in n HOGS Stomach

PeddIer Tells OF n Chinese Lily Growing
in n HOR's Stomach.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, February PA
peddler who has just returned from Winston
county tells a story which, if not true,
evinces an imaginative power which no one
would ever suppose him to possess. A farmer
named Greene, while in town, was per-
susded to buy a few Chinese lily bulbs,
which will grow if placed in a bottle or jar.
They resemble in appearance diminutive
steers head, and sell on the streets for a
mere trife. Farmer Greene took fancy
to them and bought dozen of them. When
he reached home he had no bottle or jar to
put them in, and threw them into the hog
lot with bucket of spoiled potatoes.
A few days afterward one of his largest
hogs became sick, refusing food and, laying
down in q corner, grunted as if in constant
pain. No signs of disease could be discov-
cred, but few days later the hog died. The
cause OF death was discussed in the usual
family council around the supper table and
it was finally concluded best to cut up the
hog and find out, if possible, whether or not
the disease was contagious.
This was done and the cause of death was
instantly apparent. The animal had swal-
lowed Chinese lily bulb whole and there
was sufficient moisture in the stomach to
cause it to grow. The bulb had not only
swelled and sprouted, but leaves had actually
formed. The animal was not adapted to the
purposes of flower garden and died.

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.
An Indian With n1ouI of the ChnrncIeEIstIes
uf HuRrt

VANCOUVER. 3. G., February z4-one
Of the most remarkable freaks of nature
ever known can be found near this city In
an Indian settlement. The strange being is
called Joe. and it is difficult to tell whether
the animal is a bear or an Indian. This
uncouth being is OF prodigious size and
strength, with limbs well formed, ex-
cept that the ankles turn out, givin g the feet
the appearance of paws. The face and head
is shaped very nearly like that of grizzly
bear. He never sits or stands like a man,
but when at rest settles upon his launches
like bear. When in motion he walks on
all fours with the peculiar, sidelong, awk-
ward motion of bear. He cannot talk, but
gives vent to growls like bear. When en-
ragged he seizes the object of his wrath in
deathlike hug. Thus far he is to all intents
and purposes bear.
But his parents are Indians, his associates
are Indians, he loves red blankets and
Indian trinkets, he drinks whisky like an
Indian and his iood is Indian food. Joe is
we'll known in British Columbia and Wash
ington Territory. Every year he goes with
the other Indians to the Puana Valley and
the Snake and Columbia rivers in the hop
picking season and proves himself to be the
best hop picker of the tribe. He is familiar
object in the towns OF this section and at
tracts great curiosity, but no one has ever
vet been able to define his exact position in
the animal kingdom.

NEW YORK, February 24-The stock market
to-day was moderately active and displayed
quite strong tone in comparison with last
week, and prices this week are fractonally
better than at the close on Friday. One of the
most influential of the causes which acted to
keep prices down was the further drop in
Tennessee Coal and Iron, which was coupled
with a continuation of the weakness in Louis
vile and Nashville. Great recuperstive power
was shown by Louisville and Nashville in the
afternoon, and almost all Of its early decline
was recovered.
During the decline in Tennessee Coal and
Louisville and Nashville the general market
displayed strength, although the improvement
was devoid of special movements outside the
late leading weak stock. Rock Island and Chi

added a sharp rise in Chicago, st. Louis and

Considerable irregularity existed in the early
dealings but fractional advance was followed
by a reaction which reached only small frac-
tions except in the Coal stocks, in which the
bears tried TO take advantage OF the weakness
of Tennessee Coal to depress the effort without
conspicuous success, and prices again rallied,
while the Grangers were specially strong with
the rest of the list following. Tennessee Coal
dropped from 69H to So, and later to 81, though
in the final trading a recovery to So was accom-
plished. the stock for the first time since the
drop began seeming to recover some support.
Colorado Coal sympathized with the decline
in Tennessee to limited extent and 1t also re-
covered almost the whole of its loss In the

but firm at the close, with most of the list at or
