bition a marine curiosity. It consists of
an ordinary seaweed some 20 feet in

Some of our county exchanges are
very bitter in their Remuneration of the
Pullmanites for the insult offered to
other towns by hanging their Compel
itors in effigy at the time of their jollifi-
cation over their success in securing the
Agricultural College. Such conduct is
to say the least, reprehensible, but we
do not believe that the representative
people of Pullman are in the least at
fault in this matter, nor should they be
held responsible for what the hoodlum
and riff-raff element of the town do.
The better element of Pullman do not
approve of such conduct and have plain
" said SO at all times.-O aksdale Sun.

Various theories have been advanced
as to whom was to blame for the wreck
last Friday morning. Some have ad-
vanced the idea that it was the engi-
neers place to run down the cars and
have fastened them to the engine with
chain, while others say the air brakes
were charged before they broke loose
and the conductor or barkemen should
have opened them and the train would
have stopped We have taken the lib
erty to thoroughly investigate this mat
ter, having talked with all parties con-
cerned. and have come to the conclusion
that the fault lies not with the engineer,
conductor or brakemen, but with J. A.
Stlnson, train dispatcher, who has
charge of the trains on this division, and
who was aware that hand brakes were
not on the cars, for it was through his
orders that these brakes were removed.
On various occasions has Mr.. Stinson's
attention been called to this fact, but he
either said nothing or told them to mind
their own business. The contractors,
Donald & Howell, also spoke to him
about the matter, but he told them it was
perfectly safe. AS luck would have it,
nobody was injured, but had any acct
dent occurred, it would have resulted in
the old tale, the conductor and engi-
neer are to blame" when the cuIprit
goes free. So don't blame the engineer
and trainmen for something that is the
smartness and bull Readiness of another.

There seems to be something about
this high altitude which makes marriage
failure, or else it is the high altitude
which the married people assume. Dur
ing the last three weeks seven suits have
been filed for divorces, while in the same
time only three certificates of marriage
were recorded. Two of these divorce
suits are instituted by husbands who
charge extreme cruelty on the part OF
wives, the other five being brought by
women who allege that their husbands
are lazy or habitual drunkards.- Mos

The school lands of this county are at
high premium, if the rush that is be
ng made for them counts for anything,
says the Moscow Star.
During the last few days almost every
quarter section has been taken up, not
as homestead, timber culture or pre-
emption, but merely as a piece of crea-
ton belonging to the best man. The
impression seems to prevail that these
lands are soon to be sold or leased and
that when they are the occupant
will have prior right of purchase; so
applicants have poured into the county
clerks Office at the rate of two or three
idozen day, instructing the gentleman
who presides over tie quill to reserve a
particular tract for John Smith or Tom
Jones or some other particular individ-
ual. But these communications are filed
away in the waste basket. The best
lawyers in the county declare that the
school lands of Idaho cannot be leased
as they are in other states, because the
law enacted by congress in 1868 speci-
fed the territories in which the school
lands may be rented and that Idaho was
left out at the special request of her
delegate. Nothing was done in the
matter by the last legislature, and SO it
rests in the same condition as before
statehood was conferred.
Men who go upon these lands, accord
ing to the best legal advice, are tress-
passers.

1t is more to the point to say that it

be a toilette de nez, clearing it by

LOVE ON A DEATH BOX.
A Chicago Driver Takes His Sweetheart
Out Riding on a White Hearse.

A Chicago Driver Takes His Sweetheart
Out Riding on White Hearse.
Everybody On the West Side knows
for a Madison street undertaken. He
has led more funeral professions to
Calvary in the past two years than any
other driver in the city. About a year
ago he took Maggie Dooley to see Joe
Murphy in Shaun Rhue," and she is
talking about it to this day. Not long
ago, however. Barney met the Widow
McGraw, whose husband was killed
last summer in the Burlington yards.
His life was insured for 50, 900. The
widow put every dollar of it in bank,
and it's drawing per cent.
She has an income of ten dollars a
month from the interest and twenty
dollars more from where she cooks.
She is employed in the household of a
Prairie avenue gentleman. 1t was at
wake that Barney became acquainted
with the Widow McGraw She was
smitten with his red whiskers and win
ming ways He escorted her home, and
on the way they stopped at a restau-
rant and ate oysters, both raw and
fried. Barney was invited to call,
which he did, and on leaving he told
the widow that it was the most enjoya-
BILE evening he had spent since he came
to America. And it was arranged that
they should go buggy riding Sunday
afternoon if the day was fine.
Barney forgot all about engaging a
rig until 10 o'clock in the morning He
went to several stables on the West
Side, but could not hire a horse for love
or money The day was delightful,
and everybody was out driving about
the parks and along the boulevards.
He telephOned to Leroy Payne's, and
offered ten dollars for a rig for two
hours, but he might just as well have
offered ten cents. There wasn't a horse
or buggy to be had in all Chicago. As
a last resort he hitched up a team of
cream colored horses to a white hearse
and started for Prairie avenue.
The hearse rolled noiselessly along
over the granite paved avenues, and
Barney was in the height of his glory.
In front of where the widow is en-
ployed he turned in so close that the
wheels of the hearse scraped against
the curbstone. People in the neigh
borhood went out on the front steps to
inquire who was dead. Presently Bar
ney and the widow came out of the
house and mounted the drivers box.
As the hearse rolled away peals of
laughter split the air. They drove in
impressive dignity down Drexel boule-
ward, and then turned the heads of the
cream colored horses toward Jackson
park.
Thousands of persons saw the strange
vehicle circling around the park, but
they didn't know what to make of it.
Barney and the widow paid no atten-
ton to the caustic comments made
upon them from time to time They
enjoyed the drive as well as they would
have done in a landau; for on the way
home it was all planned that the Widow
McGraw will soon change her name to
Sullivan. Chicago Herald.

In a resent lecture the well known
electrician, Professor Nichols, was dem
onstrating the fact that an iron rod be-
comes Il magnet by forcibly striking
one end while holding the rod in a
north and south direction. By way of
illustrating his remarks he told how
while yachting several summers ago he
was sailing from the Isle of Shoals to-
ward the coast of Maine when it was
noticed that large mountain in Maine,
a landmark, had unaccountably moved
several points away from its natural
position.
Under the supposition that the com
pass was being affected in some way
everything around it was moved away i;
but to no purpose. The mountain re-
fused to move, until finally an umbrella
which was laying near by was removed,
when the mountain quickly moved
back to where it belonged. The UNI
brella as the owner walked along had
evidently been tapped against the
ground, which eventually caused the
steel stays holding the cover to become
quite strongly magnetized. When
placed near the compass a detection of
the compass of several points had taken
place. York Commercial Adver-

Vitality of a Quail.

J. E. Isgrigg, of Carthage, Mo-, thus
writes to The American Field: Il send
you by express a hen quail w. B.
Hickey was working his puppies on
birds today, and when the bevy flushed
he noticed this bird, which flew, he
says, like one having been shot in the
head. 1t flew quite a distance, and
upon getting it up the second time he
killed it, which of course was contrary
to law, but under the circumstances
was a humane act. You will see that
a twig has been run completely through
the breast, both ends protruding. 1t
has evidently been there quite long
time, as the wound has grown over. l
think it marvellous that the bird could
have survived such wound. The bird
would in all probability have lived it's
days out had it not been shot. Mr..
Hickey's theory is that the bird was fly
ing to escape a hawk and darted into
the brush, and in doing SO flew against
this twig"

Now for a new dress. Pick up a bit
of claret velvet and have some good
dressInaker resolve it into a short round
waist. There are among the winter
cleft overs" remnants Of black silk,
lined or checked with red, which can
be bought cheap, and will make up
beautifully. You, of course, will make
up the skirt, and here is the way to do
it: Put six widths in it, gathering the
front and sides as little as possible, and
lay the back in a fan or double box
plait.
Cut a four-inch ruffie on the bias
double, not hem, the top, line it, and
sew about the sides and front cores
AS all the dresses drag, and all women
must follow the fashion, look well to
the facing of your skirt. Use for this
purpose some excellent quality of cash
mere or closely woven stuff You will
only need a little, and a good piece will
save repairs. Buy, too, the best grade
of braid. Rubber is not used for this
purpose, nor is any extender or steel
put in the lining. The drawstrings are
depended on to hold back the fullness.
