Jewels VI. Cash,

The gentlemen connected with the John
Steinmetz Jewelry Co. have an idea that
they can play just little better game of
base ball thah any other amateur aggrega-
ton in the city. Firm in this belief they
issued challenge to the young men Of the
Montana National bank for a game and
were promptly taken up. As vet the date
has not been set, but it will be some time
during the early part of August The idea
is to charge an admission fee, the proceeds
to be devoted to some charitable purpose.
1t promises to be one of the most interest
ing games of the season, and will be worth
the price of admission. Col. Broadwater,
who knows all about base ball, will umpire
for the bank team and John Steinmetz.
who gives pointers on the game when he is
capacity for the jewelry boys. The winning
club will be open to q challenge from any
amateur organization in the city.

Location On the Gulf OF Mexico-The Mouth
Of the CAicasieu River-Interests Of West
ern Agriculture.
When all the States west of the Mis-
sissippi are looking anxiously for re-
lief to the agricultural interests, the
question is not how to produce more, but
how to get rid of the productions OF
which that vast country is now capable.
With corn and oats worth but about a
dozen cents per bushel, and wheat, in
many parts, worth less than fifty cents
the thrifty, industrious farmer is driven
to desperation in his efforts, not to raise
more, but to secure reasonable prices
for the great surplus which every day
accum ulates and seeks markets.
Where is our outlet? The increase OF
other industrial pursuits alone at home
is incapable of using the teeming prod
ucts Of the soil of the great West The
Atlantic cities from Baltimore to Bos-
ton, including Philadelphia, New
York and numerous other ports, at.
ford our only outlet, while there is
coast 600 miles nearer to US, with sea
frontage one-third larger than all this
Atlantic coast, lying idle for want of
appropriations from the Government
The interest Of Kansas and Missouri
and what is their interest is the interest
of the whole Northwest-is in securing
the nearest practicable route to the
Gulf. Take down the map and draw a
straight line to the Gulf, and the mouth
of the Calcasieu (kal-ka-shu) river in
Louisiana is almost due south of Kansas
City at the northernmost projection Of
the Gulf of Mexico.
This part is region so little known
that it has till very recently received no
attention. But already three railroad
corporations are looking anxiously
toward its development. The Kearney,
Hutchinson & Gulf railroad, leading from
Northwest Nebraska, on a straight line
through Wichita, is claiming to have
sufficient backing to put it through: the
Kansas City, Fort Smith & South
ern railway is in operation in
that direction and the Kansas
City, Watkins & Gulf railroad has
construction engine at work sup
plying the tracklayers north of Lake
Charles, and sea vessels are entering the
mouth of that river laden with railroad
iron in prosecution of this enterprise.
This latter road contemplates contin-
uous route from the Gulf to Duluth, as
will be more plainly seen by reference
to this map:

English officers to 60 out and destroy
man-eater who had rendered himself
terror to a large district. Hearing OF
the presence of the American, they came
to him instead. The Government bounty
on the head of man-eater at that time
was sixty dollars. The villagers offered
to make up sixty additional and to give
the Captain a COW and four goats. In
ten minutes he had closed bargain.
and on the afternoon of the second day
We reached Aliwar. 1t was situated on
the Scindwala river, which is one of the
tributaries of the Ganges, and within
fifteen miles of the foothills of the
Himalaya Mountains. The country
was badly broken and covered
with heavy forest and jungle, and
the Captain pronounced it the
finest tiger range in India. The village
contained about seven hundred inhab-
itants. and had considerable commerce
with points lower down on the stream.
1t was on the bank of the river strung
cut for half a mile, and the cleared
space thus occupied was not more than
a quarter of a mile wide. A days work
on the part of the villagers would have
been sufficient to clear away the cover
not move was made. The beast had
appeared about four weeks previous, and
the first intimation of his presence cost
a woman her life. She was cooking at
fire on the north side of the village,
not over ten feet from the door at which
her husband and three children sat,
when a tiger, who had come out of
ravine and kept the cover of some
bushes. sprang upon her. This was just
at shutdown. The spring of the tiger
knocked the woman into the fire. He
seized her by the foot and drew her out,
and, although her clothing was on fire,
he took hold of her shoulder, gave her
body twist to throw the weight on his
back and was off at run. The woman
must have been killed by the blow of
his paw as he sprang. as she made no
cry.
In the four weeks which had elapsed
since the man-eater appeared he had
carried off seven people, and for a dis
lance Of ten miles around the people
were in great terror. There were half
dozen old muskets owned in Aliwar,
and these had been loaded and dis
charged at the ravine at high noon in
hopes TO scare the tiger away. Two
nights previous to our arrival the tiger
had entered a hut through an open win

made his exit by the door. The cries
OF the boy awoke every one in the viii
lage and could be heard long way up
the ravine. He had not come the night
before, but was expected to show up on

THE BEAST LET GO AND FELL BACK.
In most cases the man-eater is an old
beast, with most Of his teeth gone.
This tiger was full grown, not over five
years old, and every tooth was perfect.
When he dropped to the floor he spit
like mad cat, wheeled with a snarl,
and at his second jump he struck the
partition like a battering-ram. He not
only struck it. but he stood on his hind
legs and pulled and shook, and it must
have gone down had we not attacked
him. The native dealt one Of his paws
terrific blow with the stick, and cut
half way through the other with blow
of the knife. The beast let 60 and fell
back. 1t was now broad day, and We
could see him plainly. A photograph
of his head and face would make a wom-
an SILVER. He backed off. laid his ears
fiat to his head. showed every tooth. and
his eyes wandered up and down the
partition looking for a weak spot. Lex
pected rush, but he was not quite
ready. He made three circles of the
room, and then, springing like fash,
he fastened to the bamboos again. If
We had not been ready the partition
could not have held him more than a
minute. He used teeth and claws and
the whole hut was shaken with his ex-
ertions got in savage cut on his
hind leg and stabbed him in the shout
der, and the native hit him an awful
whack on the nose. When he let 60
this time he was done for. He retreated
to corner and howled and wnined like
a puppy, and Captain White now called
out to know the situation. Explained
that the tiger could not get out, as I
could now see the silver which obstruct-
ed. and he opened the rear shutter and
passed me in rife. When I took aim
at the tigers head he was moaning and
shivering, and l almost felt ashamed to
shoot him.
Not knowing whether the dead man.
eater had mate or not We secured the
jungles for his lair, and found it in the
ravine not more than half mile away.
He had not devoured any of his victims
at the spot where he rested, but all had
been eaten within a radius of few
rods. From what we could discover it
was concluded that he was solitary
and as the village suffered no more this
must have been the case. In removing
the skin We found spot on the shoulder
where the beast had been severely cut
with knife. The slash was fully four
inches long and quite deep, and the hair
had not grown out to cover the scar.
Ninety-nine chances out of hundred
the native who had inflicted the cut had
been eaten.-N. Y. Sun.

Frequently 1t Lies Dormant for . Long
Space of Time.
A curious instance of this took place
in our family. My mother went on a
visit to my grandfather. who lived in
London. She took with her little
brother of mine. who was eleven months
old, and his nurse, who waited on her
as her maid. One day this nurse
brought the baby boy into my mothers
room and put him on the floor, which
was carpeted all over. There he crept
about and amused himself according to
his light. When my mother was
dressed certain ring that she generally
wore was not to be found. Great search
was made, but it was never produced,
and. the visit over, they all went away
and it was almost forgotten
Exactly year after they again went
to visit the grandfather. This baby was
now year and eleven months old. The
same nurse took him into the same
ROOM and my mother saw him, zfter
looking about him, deliberately walk
up to certain corner, turn bit of the
carpet back and produce the ring. He
never gave any account of the matter,
nor did he, so far as / know, remember
it af,erward 1t seems most likely
that he found the ring ON the floor and
hid it, as in safe place, under . corner
of the Brussels carpet where it was
not nailed He probably forgot all
about it till he saw the place again, and
he was far too infantile ct the time it
was missed to understand what the talk
that went on was about or to know what
the search. which, perhaps, he did not
notice, was for.-Jean Ingelow, in Long

reached the place about two hours be-

Captain got the lay of the land he
made his plans. Two huts on the
