BURST IN DEMAND.
Rapidly Receiving Orders for Banquets of
School and College Associations.

Rapidly Receiving Orders for Banquets of
school and College Associations.
The season of the sweet girl grad
uate with all its attendant features Of
music, flowers, balls and banquetS is
now on. School and college asSocia-
tionS are meeting nearly every day in
some of the neighboring localities. AT
all these social gatherings, around
which cluster so many happy memories
and endearmentS, one Of the chief
features is the feStal board. "What
shall we eat, and who will furnish it?'
is a question often asked by the commit
tees in charge of the banquets. Its
| a question, however, that don't stand
/ long unanswered in these parts, for
there is one caterer that has been tried
and tested, and this is burst, the widely
known caterer of Wheeling. burst has
an enviable reputation in the line Of
lunches, Suppers and banquetS. Good
taste, excellence of the viaudS, and care
and artistic skill in all details and ar
rangementS of these occasions has made
the name OF burst a household word in
this section Of the country. Last week
this popular caterer furnished a big
banquet for the pupils OF Trinity Hall
College, at Washington, Pa, and day
before yesterday he served the
senior class banquet at the Washington
jefferson College at the same place. He
has been furnishing the banquetS at
this institution for several years. AT
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. banquet there
were over 300 guests, and every one Of
them was served without any waiting or
delay. LuxurieS and CONNECTIONS, all
made by burst himself, were served ex-
cluSively.
Next week Mr.. burst will go to Nor
gantown TO serve a banquet for the
State University. This will be one Of
the biggest that has taken place this
year. People who want such service
will do well TO consult George l.. burst
before making other arrangements.

Chas. H. Kelly, representing the l.. Ii
Smith Woodenware and Broom Com
pany, of Pittsburg, was in Martins
Ferry yesterday calling upon the trade
there. Mr.. Kelly called upon Mr.. G. W.
McKim while there for the purpose OF
enduring about the wood fibre used in
the manufacture of brooms and recently
patented by Mr.. McKim. He was
pleased with the sample shown him, and
ordered a quantity of it sent to their
factory at PittSburg at once, to be made
up into brooms for samples. Mr..

but their factory will be atle to use a
large amount of the wood fibre in the
manufacture of brooms. The wood

McConnell's BluR.

Eastern Paper.
Senator Mcconnell says the PAN
handle of Idaho is the finest agri-
cultural region in the United States,
and he tells stories about its wheat
productions, which, if true, would
almost enable the owners of the
land to get mortgages at 6 per cent
instead of the rates of 10 and IL,
which are said to hold good in
Kansas. He says that there are
hundreds of acres of wheat in the
panhandle which turn out forty
bushels per acre right along, and
he relates an incident which occur
red in sleeping car upon which
he was travelling through Idaho
this fall. He said:

"There were two skeptical east
ern men in the berth opposite me,
and I overheard one talking. to the
other. They were discussing west
ern men and western stories, and
| one of them said: these western
srs are the most accomplished liars
of the world. They try to pretend
| that they have lands out here that
will produce sixty bushels of wheat
to the acre. Now you and l know
that that can't be and still they tell
the story with az straight face as
though they were reciting scripture
or Sermon I let the men go on
for some time in this strain and
heard them traduce our people as
liars and gamblers and laugh more
and more as they went along about
the big wheat stories. At last I
could stand it no longer, and broke
into the conversation. Gentlemen
said I, 4 am a westernsr, and I
suppose something Of a liar, and l
do not know but that may be
something of . gambler. I know
that I am liar enough to say that
We have right here in this country
which We are passing through land
which will not only produce sixty
but one hundred bushels of wheat
per acre. Hereat both of the east
erners laughed incredulously and I
went on. And what's more, gen.
tlenen, I am gambler enough to bet
any amount on that statement,
from one TO- $40, 600, and the train
will stop in . moment at Misseula
where there 10 a bank where We
can get our checks certified and de-
post the bet until the matter can
be verified This rather took the
wind out of the sails of my fellow
travellers. They wouldn't believe
it but they weren't willing to bet.

mouths, and I was not bothered
about any further remarks as TO
western liars during the remainder
of the day." f .a.ura5

AS EDMUNDs VIEWS IT.
No Action Of the Legislature can Annul
.,a- Dubois Election. .a.

Senator Nc Connell had an inter-
view with Senator Edmunds. The
latter stated that he felt a very
kindly interest in Idaho, owing to
the fact that Idaho, like his state
(Vt.), was mountainous country.
He has stood by her interests in
the Admission bill, and regretted
that the Legislature of Idaho
should now lower themselves in the
estimation Of the country by at
tempting to undo in the matter of
electing Senator, that which had
hitherto been done by clear ma
jority of the Legislature. He re-
vived the fact of the Florida case
and stated that the only result of
the election of Mr.. Claggett would
be that the people of the United
States who were familiar with the
law would not entertain the same
opinion regarding the intelligence
of the citizens of Idaho that thew
had heretofore. Mr.. Dubois was
undoubtedly the legally-elected
Senator, and no action which could
now be taken by the Legislature of
the state would annul the former
election, which, as shown by the
certificate, had resulted from the
votes Of clear majority.

A RAT SUICIDE.
OF Two Evils He chose the Least.

OF Two Evils He chose the Least
From the Butler pa Citizen.
DR.. T. J. Richie, q physician O.
Beaver Falls. Pa, has had an ex
perience with a rat during the pas
week which he will not forget fol
some time.
Recently he has been experiment
ing on rats, dogs and cats and
other small animals for the pur'
pose Of studying the process o.
digestion. He would place the
animals under the influence Of
~chlosofosm, snd then, after cutting
them open and noting the working
of the digestive organs, would sew
up the wound, anoint it with heal
ing salve, and then let the animal
60.
On Saturday last he captured a
large rat and placed it under the
influence Of the drug, when, to his
sarprise, he discovered that the
animal was one he had previously
operated upon.
He examined it for q second, and
then, Just AZ he turned to bis case
TO get the necessary instruments
to make further investigations, the
rat revived, jumped from tho table,
.sprang into the open fireplace, and
escaped up the chimney. The doc.
tor, thinking the rat would pop out
Of the top Of the chimney, ian out
On the street TO- ESQ it, but no rat
appeared. ~" pa
That night Is he lay asleep he
was awakened by a sharp pain in
his finger, and opening his eyes he
saw a rat, which proved to be the
one which had escaped from him
the previous evening, scamper off
the bed and up the chimney again.
He examined his finger and found
it badly bitten.
He washed and bound up the
wound and went to sleep, only to
be again awakened by the same
rat biting his nose. He chased it
away, but he got little sleep that
night for the rat kept returning,
and when he attempted to kill it,
the willy little creature always sue
cessfully took refuge in the Chin
ney.
The next night and for several
nights afterward, the rat disturbed
his rest by its persistent and blood
thirsty attacks. DR.. Richie couldn't
help bnt be curiosity interested in
the little fellows welfare, even
though his experience was rather
unpleasant.
Finally he stopped up the Chin
ney, but tho rat managed to get
out. He then left his room door
open, thinking the rat would seize
the chance to leave the premises.
He also set a trap for it, but he
didn't catch it until last evening.
When the rat saw the doctor it
showed every sign of terror, and
when he put the trap on the table
and brought out his bottle of chic
reform and sponge, it gave dis
pairing squeak, tore savagely at it's
abdomen with its sharp teeth until
the wound, only imperfectly healed
from the previous operation, burst
open, its bowels pushed out and
poor little animal rolled over,
kicked convulsively and died. It
had committed suicide rather than
submit to another operation.
