The Courts Weak Point.

The township corr missioners in Look
ing Glass township, Ills, are being sued
by a lumber firm for the small SUI Of
$&2.4S. Two trials have been held before
justices Of the peace, and the case has
now been taken to the county court.
Much i'll feeling has been engendered,
and the costs are assuming large proper
tons. The first trial was called before
a German country justice Of the peace.
After the evidence was all in, and the
eioquence of the attorneys employed in
the case had subsidized, the honorable
court arose and delivered the decisiOn:
..Shentlemaps, [ vas in a pox. | pc
lieve you both vos right. Won of you
show all your pooks uni prove it vo5
dot. The other o show all his pooks
and prove it 0 not dot. The lawyers
made poth goot speeches, und tam me if
he court knows how to decide"
After moments silence the Judges
face Frightened up and lie continued:

lish as I dO."-Cor. St. Louis Republic.

Wolf Hunting i'm Chicago.

South Side citizens had an exciting
chase after a wolf yesterday morning.
Just where the animal came from is not
| known. but he was evidently new 10
citv life. The first intimation that the
residents Of that portion Of the city had
Of the arrival Of the stranger in their
midst was the.sight Of a strange looking
Quadruped, something like a dog, worry
| ing 4 small dog near Indiana avenue and
Twcrty-ffth street. Something in the
| savage manner in which the animal
| snarled and showed its teeth at the ap-
! proach of a pedestrian warned those
! whose curiosity prompted them to try to
! investigate not to venture too near. and
! they quickly retired to watch develop
| ments from the shelter and safety Of adj
iacent do0rways.
Such was the state Of affairs when at
1880 o'clock the dogcatchers' wagon
| came in sight. Louis Schlosser tried to
throw a moose around the supposed dogs
! neck. but it leaped to one side in time to
avoid the snare, and started down 1rd;-
ana avenue, closely pursued by the
crowd, with Officer John Jolndt and the
~dogcatcher we'll in the lead.
When Thirtieth street was reached the
wolf sought to evade the shower of mis-
aellaneOus. missiles thrown at him from
every side by turning the corner. Down
Twenty-ffth street the chase was con
tinued to Cottage Grove avenue, down
Cottage Grove avenue to Twenty-sixth
street. Then through alleyways and va
cant lots to Lake ven Then across
the Illinois Central railway tracks to the
lake shore, where the wolf took shelter
in a deep hole just behind the breakwa-
ter. The wolf was finally captured and
taken to the dog pound, where he was
accommodated with a compartment all
to himself. He is Of a grayish color and
the size Of q large-mastif dog.-Chicago

one thousand inhabitants.
During the last year they have moved

Surprise at a Surprise Part-.

A surprise party was given J. ODon-
nell and wife, Of Beaver Falls, by a lot
Of his neighbors. Mrs. Bridget Donavan
was one Of the guests. She weighs
about $50 pounds, and when she essayed
a skirt dance it truly was a surprise
party. The floor was weak, Mrs. Dona-
a was heavy, and in the middle Of a
difficult figure the floor gave way, and
the fair dancer disappeared into the eel
lar along with the kitchen stove. She
was quickly extracted from her perllous
position by the men Of the party by the
aid Of levers and ropes, and was found
to be but little injured. The stove,
fortunately, contained no fire, and did
not fall upon her.-Cor. P~ittsburg Dis

Mrs. Petway has made it such.

The Ice CrOn Threatened.

Names ice crop is seriously threatened
by drought. The water supply has been
gradually falling, until now the small
rivers are nearly dry and the larger ones
are lower than for years. In the Kenne-
bee the water has not been so low for
years. At Augusta n can easily wade
across. The Androscoggin is practically
without water, and the mills at Lewis
ton would be shut down were it not for
the fact that the lakes have been tapped
and a supply thus obtained. But the
lakes are several feet lower than for
years. In the Penobscot the water is so
low that the current is not powerful
enough to keep back the tide, and the
water accordingly is SO salt that, should
winter set in suddenly, the ice would be
entirely unfit for consumption.-Boston

\ Mighty Hunters Triumph.

"Ihere was one incident in the woods
this season." said a North woods guide,
(which was amusing, to say the least.
A wealthy Albanian, who spends his
summers i'll the vicinity of Lake George,
and who, by the way, enjoys a military
title, came into the woods with great
pOmp when deer was in season, and re-
quested that a deer be captured for him.
This was done and the animal tied to a
tree. Then the military gentleman, who
is a member Of a society for the pGotec-
ton Of fish and game, brought his gun
up and blazed away at the tethered ami
mai. 1t required six shots from the gun
Of the Albanian to mortaIly wound the
deer. What do you think Of that for
hunting? The guides in the woods when
they heard Of the affair vowed they
would lynch the man if he came up
there again."-Albany Journal.

Trains Delayed by Autumn Leaves


Engineers On the railroads in several
parts Of the state have experienced much
difficulty iii running their trains on time
during the past week owing to the large
downfall Of leaves upon the tracks. The
Housatonic road has suffered most
through the long stretches Of woodland
which the road passes. 1t has been i'm
possible for the section hands on the diff
feTent divisions TO keep the tracks free
from them. The result is that when the
wheels of the locomotive pass over them
the sap from the leaves makes the rails
slippery and the obstruction is as bad as
hail, snow or ice. It is ever worse. as
the leaves refuse to melt or freeze. bat
stick to the rails until dried up.-New

A LONG TIME.
A Man Who Has Been at 1t for About
Fourteen Years in Durham City.


Fourteen Years in Durham City.
W. II. Rogers who sells books and
school supplies and groceries, has been
in Durham just fourteen years-at least
in the present business that long.
There is only this to say about Mr..
Rogers: He is a conscientious business
man he is honorable and the goods he
sells are always as recommended.
He has been in the school supply bust
ness for sometime. He knows, too, what
is needed, inasmucL as lie has been a
years.
He attends to his business, and he also
attends to the business Of the people in
his official capacity. 1t is largely due to
Mr.. Rogers determined efforts that we
have a new school house under way.
Those who visit his store on Main
street will find a gentleman, and they
will find a new, fresh stock of goods
from which they may select their Christ
mas presents.
The prices are always low, and TIE
GLOBE says that goods at this house are
always as represented.
Go and see for yourself-that is, if you
doubt any Of this business.

some Of the newspapers of the state,
North Carolina could go to Chicago well

cal success than the previous performances
The members we're selected with much taste
and gave unqualified satisfaction.
The singing Of Madame Emil Gramm was
very delightful. Her voice Is a me2zo-soprano.
but Of great compass. She was enthusiastically
encorsd nc each number. On the eHcore after
Rossies Aria she sang An, Love Ne" by Her
bert. II Is In such songs that her clear and pa
thetic enunciation Is most effective. After her
Deiu, by Carl Bohm, che sang The Sea With lts
Pearls by Stanley Cohen, and after Wellings
"Close TO Ny Heart she sang-hrst, be Sere-
made" by Neidlinger and last " Only 90 Love-,
by Santley. she was the recipient of some seaI.
tiful bouquets.
Mr. Thilow's cello solo was quite triumph for
this old favorite. The echo movement was e1-
quistely sweet.
The orchestral numbers wero deserving OF Gil
praise. IL would be hypercritical 20 ind fault.
Tho last number Of the orchestra, the Swedish
Wedding March, was exceedingly pleasing ana
was played with much spirit.
IL was q delightful evening, and the success OF
the series should encourage the association 10
