A Monster Piece Of Granite.

Vinalhaven, Maine, claims to have
produced the largest stone ever brought
to light. The Bod well Granite Compa'
nv recently quarried a shaft Of granite
which is the largest piece of stone ever
ouarried anywhere, and If erected,
will be the highest, largest, and heavi-
est single piece of solid stone standing.
or that ever stood, so far as any record
can be found. In height it considera-
bly, exceeds any of the Egyptian obe-
lisks. The tallest of these, which was
brought from HeliOpolis 10 Alexand-
ria by Emperor Constantine, and az
terward taken to Rome, where It is
still standing, is los feet Z inches high,
while the Vinalhaven shaft is 1l5 feet
long, 10 feet square at the base, and
weighs $50 tons. It is understood,
says Stone, that the company quarried
this immense monolith Of their own
account, not having AL order for any
thing of the kind, and they suggest
that 1t would be fitting contribution
from Maine for tho monument to be
erected in honor of General Grant.

NOT AsHLEY's FUNERAL.

If reports are true the trick played
on Mr.. C. d. Ashley at Baxter last
week, Is such as to do very little favor
TO those engaged in it. We have been
informed that on day when RASH
lev was In Baxter, an invitation was
sent him to attend the funeral of the
"IIangatoo Guards, " at the hall OF that
order. He did not 60. Those engaged
in the mock affair then put skeleton
into coffin and marched to the hotel
where he was, singing "We'll hang
Charley Ashley on sour apple tree"
and afterwards went through the GER
emony Of o burial.
A while ago the Star.Courier In
dulge,l some criticism OH Mr.. Ashley's
course as county attorney In certain
PRESCRIPTIONS under the prohibition
law, criticisms which we regard rea-
sousble and concerning which we
l,ave no occasion TO change our mind.
He was the immediate cause OF q good
deal of hardship, and of damage to
the character and property OF respect
able citizens; through his efforts GER
tain citizens in the county, as honor.
able and high.minded as any who re-.
main, are "fngitives from justice"
while the others arc put into prison
for trifes and branded with disgrace
which neither they nor their families
can outlive, but we question very seri-
ously the propr:ety Of burying him in
efIigy for the course he has taken.
Such things are Q poor comment upon
civilization, aud they should be dis
countenanced. -Star-C Courier.
The proceeding referred to above
waAas the Star Courier suggests, such
an one rs always tends to make re-
spcctable citizens look down their
noses, but we do not think 1t was
meant for Mr.. Asbley's funeral. Mr..
Ashley was not at the hotel to hear the
I'serenade" which some Of our local
foghorn vocalists Intended for an in-
nocent Joke on him. lie was absent.
Whether intentionally or not we do
not know. However, MIR. Ashley nor
the Start Courier whose commentary is
not very complimentary, to say the
least, need have no fears OF any such
proceeding doing them an injury 80
long as they do not participate In it.

A Horrible Crime.

The Joplin Sunday Herald gives al
account Of one OF the most diabolical
crimes ever conn iaed In Newton
county. Conflicting stories are told Of
a foul murder and horrible butchering
of negro IN the neighborhood Of Az
RIGA, q colored settlement IL miles
southeast of Joplin. The report given
the most credit is that given by E. ID.
Demostus who lives IN the settlement.
He says that he found one Of the legs
of q colored person just over tho Held
fence on the outside Of the farm owned
and cultivated by Charley Thomas.
Out IN the field an arm was found.
Not far away the head was discovered
and further on the trunk. The body
was gashed to shreds and the face was
horribly cut up, but not SO badly but
that the features could readily be rec
ognized.

BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.

Last Sunday morning while q son
of Mr.. Darnell, living three and hall
miles south and east of Baxter, was
going along the road to neighbor's
he was met by Mr.. Lathrop's shepherd
dog and bitten twice-in the lett leg
and arm. The alarm was given and
the dog soon tied. The dog was not
known to be mad at the time and the
boy was brought to this city for treat
ment. The next day he was taken to
Seneca where maidstone was applied
and adhered for thirteen hours. The
dog did not show much indication OF
being mad and was rather carelessly
handled by Mr.. Lathrop, who came
very near being bitten by him also.
He got away Sunday night and ran
about the neighborhood, but was fl
nally killed on Five Mile creek Mon
day. Several other dogs in the neigh
borhood have been killed and the bal
auce tied up.

THREE LITTLE rADs FROM HOME.


"Wednesday evening about dark
there arrived IN Baxter Springs three
little boys named Harvey Raymond,
Freddie Mitchell and Herman Barley,
aged IL, 10 and 6 years respectively.
they marched into Ohlcn's restaurant
and inquired about supper aud lodg-
ing. Ohlen said he could feed them
hut had no place for them to sleep un-
less IL be on the roof. Ed Seaman
was there aud learning that the little
fellows were strangers took them to
q. Null's hotel where they got supper.
They said they had started from COL
unbus about 2 o'clock to go 10 the
Sawmill Of the Mitchell boys father
near Peoria, I. T. II was soon learn
cd, however, that they had been play
ing together at barn at Columbus
when some larger colored boys came
by and commenced killing some chick
ems belonging to neighbor who was
away from home. These boys threat
ened to tell on them when some Of the
colored boys started to town after the
marshal and soon returned saying he
told the marshal that the white boys
were killing the chickens aud that they
had better pull out or he would arrest
them. Tho little fellows folks were
all visiting In another part Of the town
and naturally they became terrified at
the prospect of being taken to jail.
They at once pulled out" as they said,
aud after long, tiresome tramp dur,
ing which the little five or six.year-old
urchin became quite foot-sore and was
several times forced to weep. After
getting their supper and telling their
romantic story several times over for
inQuiring friends they were prevailed
upou TO accompany j. P. McNaughton
back 10 Columbus on the midnight
traiu. The smaller one gladly took
possession Of the sofa at the Springs
hotel and slept soundly until train
time. About 2 O'Clock that night two
men arrived from Columbus in search
of the wanderers. They said the
mother of the little fellow was almost
frantic with grief over his absence.

Presidents Mansion to be Enlarged.

Presidents Mansion TO be Enlarged.
A local paper publishes details of
plans for additions to the presidential
mansion prepared by prominent arch
itects aud engineers from suggestions
by Mrs. Harrison. The proposition
looks to the construction Of two large
wings on either side of the present
white house, thus preserving the pre-
sent historic structure. One of these
wings is intended for the use of the
presidents family and forpublic and
private entertainments by the presi-
dent and family, and the other is to be
for official use, certain portions being
available as o promenade on state &C.
casions. The theory of the enlarge
ment Of space for official and family
uses is the preservation of the present
mansion in all its stately simplicity
and historic interest untouched and
the addition of wings on the east and
west attached to the present building
by artistic colonades and connected on
the south by wide structures of glass
and iron, forming q spacious winter
garden and conser vatories on the south,
thus completing the enclosure Of a pri.
vate court. The classic Catonian style
of the present structure will be OBJ
served throughout the extensions.
In the center of the court yard 1t is
proposed 10 place u memorial fountain.
allegorical of the discovery of America
by Columbus, and to perpetuate the
historic fact that on October ID, 1892,
the great navigator passed his first day
on the soil of the new world, and on
October IL, 1892, just three centuries
after, the corner stone of the executive
residence of the dominating power Of
the western hemisphere was laid.
