Tho Hurley Bank Robbery.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Jan. IA man named
ingalls, was arrested at Depere for connec7
ton with the Hurley bank robbery. He has
made full confession. Ingalls,, the authori-
ties say, has served two or three terms in the
penitentiary. He left Hurley some time
after the robbery. At Wrightstown, this
county, Ingalls, lived with a family named
Clifford. He paid marked attention to Mrs.
Clifford, and, it,, IS alleged, became so fa-
miliar with the family that he little by little
told Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford the story Of the
Hurley robbery, stating his own conAecti6n
with the case, and duplicating several other
parties. He names the man who opened the
bank vault and who handed out the money
to confederates in waiting.

Did O,Neili Do the Shooting?

PRAIRIE DU CHEN, Wis, Jan. Later
developments in the case of the shooting Of
Jerry ONeill and his wife atMount Sterling
this county, show that it was an attempt at
murder and suicide Both parties are sthl
alive, though neither is likely to recover. II
is likely that the shooting was done by
O'Neill while he was in a fiteof temporary in
saniety. He has been acting strangely for
three of four months, and about four months
ago he bought his revolver and hid it in an
oat-bin. In talk with his oldest son Sunday
he acknowledged doing the deed, but gave
no reason for it, He seems to have been
quite Jealous at times.

unlawful actions of said company. He
charges the company with issuing a mislead-

nation among insurants, and says that form
called the Ordinary life distribution policy
is the one referred to. Maj. Benjamin s..

pany for New England, says that none of
the above policies have been issued in Massa-
chusetts, but that himself and number Of

STOPPED THE FIGHT.
The Bulls were Doing Their Best

At Stony Ford, n. v, on the famou,

Holstein bulls were pasturing in differ.
ent fields. one on one side of the Wal.

There had been a bitter feud between
the two blooded animals for long time

envy, the other bull This was quickly
answered by the Holstein, and he lost no
time in getting to the bank on his side
of the Waikiki. The two bulls stood in
that way, believing, and mutterinp
and paving dirt for a long time. each
working himself into deeper rage, until
at last one bull could contain himself no
longer and plunged into the river and
swan toward his rivals domain. The
rival did not wait for him to get there.

While the bulls were butting and bel.

suddenly gave a tremendous below, and,
turning about, pulled back for his past
ure. believing Justify all the way and
shaking his head violently. He reached
the shore, drew himself out. and scram.
bled up the bank. Then the cause of
his sudden panic and retreat became ap-
parent. A large snapping-turtc, for
which the Waikiki is noted, had been at
tracted TO the spot where the bulls were
fighting in the water, and, the tail of
this bull presenting an appearance to its
liking, the turtle had closed his power
full jaws on it well up toward the butt
end. This attack in the rear was more
than the bull had calculated on, and he
pulled for home. When he got out of
the water he kept right on, tearing about
the field and making such Il rumpus as
that farm had never known before.
The other bull, when its foe retreated
SO noisily and suddenly, seemed seized
with a panic too, and swan back to his
pasture as quickly as he could. When
he climbed the bank he gazed back at
the strange circus his rival was having,
and uttered not 4 sound. After tearing
about the lot two or three times the bull
the turtle had caught succeeded in shak-
ing the snapper loose. 1t was picked up
and subsequently sent to a restaurant
keeper in New York CITY, The bull that
the turtle didn't catch has gone to the
bank and renewed his challenge every
day since the turtle broke up the fight,
but his rival pays no attention to it.
He evidently fears repetition of his

Difficult to Get Recruits.

ut is not an easy matter to secure
recruits for the regular army" said
Lieutenant John McA. Webster of the
Twenty second United States Infantry,
the recruiting officer at this point. 1.-The
regulations are 80 strict that man must
be physically perfect before he can pass
the examination. There are many appli-
cations, about two hundred every month,
but out of this number not more than
ten or twenty are accepted. We not only
require the applicant to be physically
sound and to reach certain standards in
height and weight, but he must give us
good Endorsements as to his character
from responsible persons. The recruit
must enlist for five years. The first two
years he receives $13 a month. The
third year he gets $l4, the fourth, SIS;
the fifth, $16. These sums include uni.
form and rations. If he re-enlists he gets
$1s month from the beginning. After
he enlists, the recruit is kept here week
on probation. If we like him and he
likes his new duties he is sent to Column
bus, Ohio. Here the recruits are kent
for four months and thoroughly drilled.
At the end of that period they are sent
to the different regiments Chicago

Chewed OF the Boa's Head.

A letter from Mexico says that one day
recently an Indian made an excursion to
mountain near Chevantzieurm, State Of
Michoacan, to look after some fuel for
his hut, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
While cutting up dry oak he suddenly
felt bite on the calf of his leg given in
the fraction of second. A moment
later he felt coiling around his body the
terrible folds of a boa constructor. H.
stinctively he leaned his head over to-
ward the wounded leg and was almost
fascinated by the glare of two bright
basllisk eyes that cleaned like fiery Goals
in the head of the serpent.
Quicker than flash the Indian duckcd
his head and caught the neck of the rep
tile between his jaws, sinking his teeth
in the quivering flesh and clinging to it
with the desperation of the dying. The
huge serpent lashed its tail and tried to
twist its head in order to bury its fangs
in the Indian, but the latter chung on
and began to chew away at the neck OF
the boa, which is the thinnest and most
delicate part of snakes anatomy. After
chewing for long time the Indian sue
ceeded in beheading his antagonist, the
folds dropped from around his body and
the Indian was free.

Horse Whims.

Some delicate feeding horses have
queer freaks. 1t requires as much pa
thence and skill to manage such horses as
it does to manage some delicate, PAM
pered and spoiled children. Some of these
thin-skinned, long-lcgged, slab-sided,
palc-colored, coatless horses for a time
reject food altogether if given too plen-
tifully, too sparely, too cold, too hot, too
coarse, too wet, too dry. Some must
drink before eating, some at intervals
while eating. Some of these horses will
not eat in company, some insist upon
company. Some are so timid that horse
in the next stall prevents their feeding.
Some tire of oats, bran, meal, hay. Such
horses require variety of food. Car.
rOts will be taken by nearly all. As a
rule delicate feeders are equally delicate
workers and prefer short drives. It's
advisable to get rid of these horses
or any animal of the kind. Al
though for an honest and honora-
BILE man trading horses seldom proves
profitable, yet the chances with del
icate horses are two to one that the
trader of the delicate horse will have the
best of the bargain To save trouble and
time few lines specifically written.
signed and witnessed will also prove of
service. 1t may be possible for truly

THE LAND OF USED TO-BE.

Beyond the purple, hazy trees
Ofsummers utmos' boundaries;
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the range of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies land long lost to me,
The land Of Csed-to- be.
A land enchanted. such as swung
In golden seas when sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
ToJason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody;
Oh. such a land, with such a sea
Kissing it's sho es eternally,
Is the fair Used-to be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with belts of singing birds.
And sows all sounds with such sweet words,
That even in the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet to me,
Lost laughter ripples limpidy
From lips brmmed o or with all the glee
OF rare old Used to-be.
Lost laughter and the whstled tunes
OF boyhood's mouth of crescent runes.
That rounded through long afternoons,
To screnading plenilunes,
When starlight fell so misti'y
That, pc ring up from Bonded knee,
dreamed twas bridal drapery
Hung over Cscd-to-be.
Oh. land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots,
o, coolest, greanest. grassy plots.
Embossed with wild forget me-nots.
And all the blooms that cuuningly
Lift their sweet faces up to me
Out of the past; ! kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-be.

A remarkable feature of English legis-
lation just now, AYERS the New Y ork Star,
Is tho tendency to copy the United
States. Not many years ago the sugges-
ton that anything was American was suf-
fcient to insure rejection; but now all is
changed, and the American example is
quoted with force and authority. The
latest proposed adoption of an American
method is the intended abolition of the
gorgeous, feudal high Sheriff, appointed
by the Crown, who cuts such wonder
full figure in royal receptions aud judicial
circuits, and the substitution in his place
of paid Sheriff, devoting all his time
to his duties. The subject will probably
receive attention at the present session of
Parliament The Shcriff's office in Eng
land is much sought after, the Sheriff
being the official head of the county
gentry and representative of the Queens
authority. As in the case of the country
magistrates, no compensation is given,
the honor being deemed sufficient recon-
pense.

The San Francisco ChyonicLe believes
that "what is commonly known as a
'hoodoo' hangs over Emin Pasha. Here
he is at the head of large and well
equipped expedition bound for his old
province, yet he cannot keep his men in
subsection and they are deserving in large
numbers. This simply demonstrates the
truth of Stanley's charge that Emin is
incompetent to manage any important af-
fair which demands executive ability or
leadership"
