n chicago alderman CheWs a
Hackman's Hand.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-Ald. Mccormick,
who Wednesday night precipitated a
row by which Robert Gibbons was
fatally shot by Capt. SchuettIer. is in
trouble again. Last night Robert Nor
ris. cab driver, went to Gibbons sa-
loon to collect fare for taking DR..
Henroten to the place the night before.
Mccormick was in the saloon at the
time, and Morris says when he ex-
planned the object of his visit the alder
man said he WaSsa pretty decent fellow
and ought to be paid.
According to the cabman the alder
man said:
LET me show you what think of
you;" and, grasping Morris left hand,
he carried it to his mouth. Before the
cabman realized what was taking place,
MeCormick's teeth closed on his thumb,
cutting through the flesh and nail, and
crushing the bone. Morris says that,
though he screamed in agony, it was
several minutes before the brute re-
leased his hold.
''See how much think of you," Me
Cormick said, as the blood spurted from
Morris hand. Nov Eli pay YOU" he
continued. "How much is your BILL"
and, taking IS bill from his pocket, he
offered it to the cabman. The latter,
without taking the money, hurried from
the place and told his story at the CEN
trail station.
Morris, who is a quiet, inoffensiye
fellow, will have Mccormick arrested
ON charge of mayhem.

More Apples.

If every family were to put in prac-
tice the following most sensible advice
of Prof. Faraday, marked gain in the
health of its members would be the re-
suit: Let every family in autumn lay
in from two to ten or more barrels, and
it will be to them the most economical
investment in the whole range of
culinary supplies. A raw, mellow
apple is digested in an hour and
a half, while boiled cabbage re-
quires five hours. The most health
full dessert that can be placed Oh the
table is baked apple. If taken freely at
breakfast, with coarse bread and with
out meat or flesh of any kind, it has an
admirable effect on the general system.

acidities and cooling off febrile condi-
tons more effectuaIly than the most
approved medicines. If families could
be induced to substitute the apple

cakes and candies, and other sweet
meats, with which children are too
often stuffed, there would be diminu-
ton of doctors bills sufficient in sim
gle year to lay up stock of this deli
cate fruit for seasons use.

Admission to the League.
New YORK, Jan. 30-The National
Base Ball league did not start in to fin

hours and a-half the convention came to
close. The delegates held an informal
discussion on the proposition of increas-

did not meet with favor, and the matter
was dropped without final action being
taken. Fred r. Stearns, of the Detroit
club, and Harry Van Der Horst, of the
BaltimOres, were present and took part
in the talks. A communication from

FUTURE FAT CATTLE
Call for Small Carcasses, Says
William Housman in the London
journal.

A hundred years ago the ideal of
perfection in fat cattle was associated
with enormous size and astonishing
gross weight. Even with the last thirty
years one has heard veteran breeders
and feeders lament the degeneracy of
modern cattle as compared with the
great oxen of their boyhood, and the
greater oxen of which their fathers
used to tell over the clay pipe and pew
ter tankard. Such framesl A mana
tall man-eould hardly look over their
backs; and then, didn't they bring
down the scales at Christmas!

quite up tree! The material is gone,
and we have got smaller-boned race
altogether-no timber-uo Scale-such
bits Of things as our fathers and grand
fathers wouldn't have looked att" Yet
those giants must have cost the fathers
and grandfathers of our disconsolate
veterans "a pretty penny to feed; and
how many buyers, we may ask, of their
huge joints were there, even in those
days, in proportion to the buyers of
joints cut from the carcasseS of mOder-
ate-sized animals?
The ''degeneracy," as some old

and few of their sons, accepting the
traditions of forefathers. considered
the dimlnutiOn Of size, was really the
work of such men as Bakewell, Temp
kins and the Brothers Colling, who saw
the evils of gaunt, hungry frames, and
did their utmost to breed away coarse
ness of bone, and to put flesh of finer
grain upon frames compactly built.
That was the great work of the pioneers
OF improvement in our heavy beet
breeds.
In these days, further advance of
practice in the direction of reduced
size Is becoming generally noticeable.
10 find the cause in detail, we might
have to touch some social and even po-
litical questions; but without seeking
here the details (0r, shall we call them,
reasons why the causes eXist?)
we may take the broad general position,
which think is unassailable, that there
are more people in this country now
than there were generation ago who
can afford to buy small choice cuts of
beef, who yet cannot afford to pur-
chase large joints. If this be
so--and the general testimony of
butchers, so far as | can learn from
them, confirms this staUement-it is
clear that the demand for small joints
and POI tions of small joints must create
a supply, and that feeders will have to
provide. and breeders produce, the COM
modities demanded by consumers.
We may still have occasion to breed
large animals, but, outside the demand
for them, there is evidently loud and
increasing call for small carcasses.

ASSAULTED BY A MOB.
Infuriated Laborers Attack and
Injure a Kansan.

WICHITA, Kas.. Jan. 30.-President
Armstrong, of the Conway County Saw
ings bank, at Conway Springs, twelve
miles southwest of this city, was as
saulted by a mob of Infatuated laborers
to-day, and beaten so severely that the
attending ply sicians hold out only
slight hopes for his recovery.
President Armstrong is also the chief of
a company operating a sugar manu-
featuring plant and employing about
100 men, with whom new agreement
had recently been made. The employees
insisted that under the new scale they
were being defrauded of a portion of
their wages, and this afternoon about
seventy-five of them entered the
office of President Armstrong III
the bank. Before the confer
ence had proceeded very far Mr..
Armstrong grew furious, and ordered
the men to leave his Office and bank.
The maddened laborers then seized the
bank president and bore him to the
street, and beat him almost to insensi-
bility. The sheriff was a witness to
the scene, but was powerless to inter
fere. No arrests were made. MIR. Arm
strong was taken to his home. The at
tending physicians report that he is
very seriously hurt internally, and that
his injuries will no doubt prove fatal.

WOMEN AND MICE.

The reason why woman is afraid of

it has never been very clearly proven that
she is. But some women are constantly in
such nervous, irritable condition that the
slightest thing annoys and startles them.
The cause of this unfortunate state of
affairs is usually some functional derange-
ment; some distressing or painful irregu-
larity, some arrangement or peculiar weak
ness incident to her sex; or, it may be due
TO inflammation. liberation or displace-

BUNDLE THORPE AND BULL.
A Farmers Suggestion as to
How Things Might Have Been


A Farmers Suggestion as to
How Things Might Have Been

Boston Transcript.
Gen. Bumblethorpe is certainly big
man-big in stature and bigger still in
his own conceit, trimming over, as he
constantly is, with his own importance.
Gen. Bumblethorpe was never in the
army; he never was even in the militia,
But he was surveyor general once, a
good while ago, and of course wore the
title of general ever since, and has al
ways insisted upon it. He has been
shade more overbearing since he be-
came general in this way, though he
was sufficiently oVerbearing before that
One fine afternoon last summer Gen
BumblethOrpe was taking walk
through the outskirts of the country
town which he had honored by choosing
it as his place of summer soiourn. In
the course of his wanderings he came
upon pair of bars leading into grassy
and inviting meadow. The bars he let
down and walked into the meadow. He
had but half crossed the meadow when
he saw to his horror a great black and
white Holstein bull emerge from the
dark shade of an apple tree and adj
vance toward him. Gen. BUNDLE
thorpe is not an active man, but the
steady advance of this enormous animal
stimulated him for the moment to great
activity. And his own rapid flight also
served to stimulate the bull. who low.

believing the while. Il
1t was mad chase, but Gen. Bumble-
thorpe had some good rods of advantage
in the start. and the opposite fence of
the field was not far away. The gen
eral ran wildly, and succeeded in turn
ing somersault over the fence lust in
time to escape the infuriated animal.
And then it was Gen. Bumblethorpe
who was Infatuated. From the safe side
of the fence he stormed and ragged at
the bull, and, seeing a farmhouse not
far away, he stalked over to it. The
farmer was choring around the barn
when the general rushed up to him.
SIS that your bull over there. sir?'
exclaimed Gen. Bumblethorpe.

WRECKED BY A COW.
Three Texas Pacific Trainmen
Killed and Cremated.

PLAoUENnNE, La, Jan. 3O.-This
morning about O'Clock, as the west
bound freight train On the Texas Pa
cific railroad was passing Seymouryille.
a COW stuck on the track and was
struck by the engine, wrecking thirteen
cars, Engine 9S, killing John P. Crilly,
conductor; Barney Bliss, engineer, and
seriously wounding Oscar Pennison,
fireman, and brakeman, name unknown.
Almost Immediately after the accident
the wrecked cars took fire and were en-
tirely consumed. The body of Con-
ductor Criily was pulled out from under
the burning cars by tramp who was
stealing ride at the time. 1t is sup
posed that the death of both Chilly and
Bliss was instantaneous and without
pain. The body of Chilly was badly
crushed and scarcely recognizable. The
body of Bliss could not be found for
some time; it was finally located under
the engine, with burning cars surround
ing it. To extricate it was impossible,
and not until the fire was somewhat eX-
tinguished could it be reached: by this
time nothing remained but he lower
half of the trunk.

ONCE He WAS POOR.
Why Joseph Pulitzer Founded
Twelve Scholarships in New


Ladies' Home Magazine
Joseph Pulitzer who, in his youth,
was reporter, had strong desire to
become lawyer. He saved a small
sum of money and began his studies,
but his funds were all gone before he
had completed his preparation for the
bar.
He needed $500 more to carry him to
the end and support him, until he was
made a full-fledged member of the bar.
But. try as he would, he could not OBJ
tain the necessary funds, and with dis
appointment unspeakable, he was
obliged to relinquish his studies and re-
turn to newspaper reporting.
But ones misses sometimes mean
more than ones hits. and although Mr..
Pulitzer was by reason of poverty de-
prlved Of chance to make fame and
fortune at the bar, he has achieved one
OF the greatest newspaper successes
ever known in American journalism.
Nevertheless, the memory Of his early
struggles have never left him, and his
establishment of twelve free scholar
ships. costing him $4,000 a year, indi-
Gates his sympathy with the struggles
of poor boys for higher aducation.

ACCUSED OF LYNCHING.
Horse Thieves Cause the Arrest
of Prominent Texans,

GAINESVILLE. Tex, Jan. 9O.-Eight
prominent farmers of Healsbury, In
dian Territory, were arrested in the
Indian territory and brought here to-
day, charged with being members of a
mob which lynched an old man in the
Indian territory last November. The
United States commissioner before
whom they were examined directed
them to be taken to Paris, Tex, for
trial by the United States district court,
which mas jurisdiction over the
Indian territory. The principal wit
nesses against the prisoners are
said to be notorious horse thieves, who
were themselves responsible for the
lynching. 1t is alleged that they accuse
the farmers now under arrest for the
crime in order to divert suspicion from
themselves. Much indignation exists
in the territory, and talk of lynching
the accusers is freely INDUCED in.
