SAND sPoUTs IN THE AIR.

One Hundred Wagon Loads Thrown
Up From an Artesian Well.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 27.-While
August Hubner and his sons were drilling
an artesian well on their farm near Forest
Junction, fifteen miles south of Depere. and
had reached depth of 100 feet their work
was unexpectedly stopped. They heard an
underground rumbling, not unlike the roll
ing OF thunder. and suddenly a column of
sand was spouted from the well and was
thrown nearly 200 feet in the air. The
drills, rods and derricks were smashed and
bent and took the same road, while one of
the workmen was landed about fifty feet
from the well uninjured.
The sand spouts continued with short in
tervals and gradually decreased 10 force
until last night when another column was
sent up in the air.
Among the sand which is lying six feet
deep around the well were pieces Of clay
weighing about 100 pounds. At least 100
wagon loads were thrown out. The diam
eter of the we'll was 26 inches up to a depth
Of 80 feet, below that 16 inches. No sign of
water was found.

A Stranger in Missouri Gets More En-

CLINTON, No., Dec. 24.-Rev. Taylor
Bernard is the hero of the hour. A stranger
entered his residence yesterday afternoon,
and. upon being asked the nature of his
business, stated that he was hunting house
of entertainment. he was informed that
he was at the wrong house, but the stranger
said he had come TO take the place.
The stranger proceeded to make himself
at home, and inquired for the women Of the
house, whereupon the reverend gentleman
ordered him out of the house, but he tarried.
Then tho preacher closed the door and pro-
ceeded to administer to him such punishment
as a rufflan deserves. After giving the
intruder good drubbing ne kicked him out
of the house and out of the yard and across
the street. The fellow found that the preacher
was Zoo much for him, and said: Partner,
If you viii not say anything about this l
will not"
Having been annoyed before, and no par

authorities 20 protect his family, Mr..

and proceeded to mete out Justice to at

THE GREAT BEAR.
A Few Pointers About the Dipper
and the North Star.

ana Inc North star.
From the Mechanical NetUs.
Most people on a clear day can, without a
watch or other timepiece, form closely ap-
proximate idea of the time of day by the
position oe the sun, but few perhaps, have
guessed at any similar method of computing
the time during the night without any other
means than the STARRY skies" Nothwith-
standing, a fairly reliable time indicator
can be found in the northern skies on every
cloudless night. As is generally known the
group of fixed stars called the "Dipper''
makes an apparent revolution toward the
north star in every twenty-four hours, with
the two stars forming the outer elevation Of
the bowl of the dipper pointing nearly
directly to the polar star continuously.
If the position Of the pointers" Is taken
at any given hour, say o'clock in the
evening in winter time. and as soon as it is
dark in the summer, the hour can thereafter
be pretty accurately measured by the eye
during the night. Frequent observations
of positions will have to be made at the
given hour, as, owing TO the constant chang
ing of the earths position in space, the
''pointers" in relation. to our point of OBJ
servation and the star also change. OBJ
servations taken during year and im-
pressed on the mind will make very good
time indicator.

SAVED HER STOCKINGS.
Miss Taylor Coolly Disconcertsa Gang
of Mask ed Robbors

MISS Taylor Coolly DlsconcerCS GanS
of Masked Robbors
GREENsBURG. Pa, Dec. 26.-The exist
ence Of an organized band Of robbers on the
ridge overlooking the Ligonier valley is
certain. Robberies in that district are be-
coming more frequent, and the farmers are
living in constant dread Of an attack. Last
night bolder turn was taken, and the resi-
dence of Miss Kate Tavlor. wealthy
maiden lady living at the foot of the mount
ain, was entered by three masked men. II
was known that she had considerable money,
but fortunately she had deposited it in a
bank few days ago. Miss TAYLOR was
bound, and with revolver to her head,
ordered to give up her money or they would
burn her feet to the bone. They prepared
to burn her feet when she asked if she could
not take off her stockings, as she did not
want them destroyed
20, you miserable miser," gasped one
robber, ''you would rather have your feet
burned than your stockings"
The woman's cool manner rather discon-
certed the men, who gave up their intention
Of torturing her and took some $40 which
she held in her hand, on being assured that
was every penny she had in the house. The
sheriff has been called upon for protecuon.
and parties of citizens at Hipsviile aud
Ligonier have been formed to assist him ID
capturing the gang.

this that no worker in the field of bacteri-

found herself face, to face with singu-
larly handsome middle-aged man, whose
fine intellectual countenance was in
keeping with his we1l-cut clothes and
distinguished bearing. She noticed
that he carried large, square, silver
mounted leather case in his hand, but it
never entered into her head to associate
his visit with a business motive.
''Be seated, sir" she said, graciously.
"You must pardon my intrusion,
madam. But
He paused so long withoutexplaining
himself that Mrs. Evesham was little
startled.
''You were saying, sirP" she queried.
"I-er-yes, madam, the object Of my
visit is little difficult to explain. In
fact my friend, the coroner, has put me
in rather an awkward dilemma"
''Oh, the coroner!" Mrs. Evesham said,
considerably relieved. "Pray command
me in any way"
You see, madam, in the case of a
person dying among strangers, it is con-
ducive to the interests of justice and
material to the satisfaction of the

am an artist, and my friend, the cor
oner, insists"
ooh, certainly" Mrs. Evesham inter-
rupted. So her distinguished visitor
was after all only photographer. Why
on earth couldn't the man at once have
stated his business without so many
.stammering apologies?
F'You will perhaps at-once permit me
to visit the room where the corpse is
lying?'' he continued,

hesitated. "I could not offer you any
assistance; even my servants am sure
would DISLIKE
mot for worlds, 1.-THE stranger inter-
ruptcd eagerly. 81 require no aid in
my manipulations-in fact would rather
be free from interference. The whole
thing will not occupy me more than
half an hour"
How could she refuse so natural a re-
quest2 So she ordered the servant to
show him to the death-chamber, and re-
turned to her children.
Mrs. Evesham's sensitiveness would
not have been shocked had she accom-
panied her visitor into the somber pre-
cincts of number six, with it's drawn
blinds and the undefnable shadow of
the presence of death.
The stranger, though ne must in his
professional experience have been ac-
Acustomed to such gruesome scenes, was,
however, evidently impressed with the
| gloom, for after locking the door with
deliberate care he stepped noiselessly
over the carpet and paused for a mo-
ment at the foot Of the bed where 1t
was lying covered with sheet. He
had apparently peculiar ideas about
taking the picture of dead man, for,
instead of arranging his camera and
posing his subject, he turned to the
wardrobe, where hung the clothes the
deceased had last worn, and nervously
searched until he found a bunch Oh
keys. With these he unlocked drawers,
desks and bureaus, and piled every
scrap of paper he could find upon a
table. His search was hurried and eff.
fective. When the last likely receptacle
had been ransacked he opened his

leather case and into it's capacious jaws
stuffed his findings, examining them in
to his pockets too, until the last scrap
was disposed of. Then, replacing the
keys, he for the first time raised the
sheet from the dead mans face and took
one long, intense gaze on the waxen
features "Poor fellow" he muttered,
latter life's fitful fever he sleeps wellp'
And now, Selling his leather case, he
quietly unlocks the door, steals silently
downstairs, and, unobserved by any
one, is lost in the hustle of the crowded
streets.
The next excitement for the Eve
sham's on that eveptful day was the ar
rival of the undertaker's men to remove
the body, and, shortly afterwards, a
fussy official came armed with author
ity to examine and seal the effects Of
the deceased.
But the worst trouble of all was Civ
ing testimony at the coroners court in
the afternoon. Poor Mrs. Evesham had
a sad time of it. Never was coroner
more exacting nor witness more timid.
If she had been tried for her life, she
could hardly have felt her position so
acutely. Then, she could tell them SO
little, and her examiner made her feel
uncomfortable at her lack of knowl-
edge and shrugged his shoulders so and
winked so hard at the jury while she
gave her evidence, that he created the
impression that she was suppressing In
formation.

CHAPTER II.
A SURPRISE.

If were a painter I would portray
two companion pictures the de-
parture from the old world of a great
Atlantic steamer freighted with emil
grants; the other, it's arrival in New
Yorh-for no more vivid scenes of con-
trasting human emotions could ever be
conceived by brain of artist. I do not
mean that would spend my time over
the hull and rigging of the ocean mon
ster, for it changes not, whether it is
seen lying in the Mersey or snugly har-
bored at it's New York dock, but would
try to put on canvas the faces of the
vast throng which crowds the deck.
There, at Liverpool, old associations
are newly broken and the wounds are
fresh, eyes are red with weeping and
hearts are wrung with the pangs of
parting from the friends of lifetime.
But here, the restful voyage has done
its healing, and hope and gladness il
lumine every countenance, for the land
of promise is reached, and sluggish in
deed must be his nature whose spirit
does not thrill with the expectancy of
the new life. Even the cabin passen-
gers, who have no battle before them,
forget their languid ways and catch some
ofthe enthusiasm of their humber fellow
voyagers, and some of them are Ameri-
cans, who have been for scamper
through Europe, rejoicing to get back
to their own beautiful shores and sunny
skies.
Such scene fascinated Mrs. Evesham
| as she stood with her daughter Kate
on the gangway of the Northern Star,
gazing with amused wonder at the busy
crowd swarming over the vessel like
bees in hive.
She had come to meet Number SKIS
sister.
Through the courteous interference of
an official who had been attracted by
their gentle bearing they were among
the first to set foot on the deck of the
steamer. Mrs. Evesham had not
brought Alice with her, for she had
thought it best to leave her at home to
supervise hospitable preparations for
the reception of the young lady, who
in her bereavement would need their
tenderest solicitude.
They were rather a helpless couple
in such an emergency, but they pressed
bravely through the crowd to the
stewards cabin, where they found a
good-natured, voluble little man re.
ceiving dilatory tees and bidding CRATE.

He found time, however, to attend to
their solicitations.
"No," he said, gravely, in answer to
the lady's inquiries, ''there is no person
named Arlington on board the ship. If
madam likes she can inspect the pas
senger list. She is not here" he con-
tinued, decisively, "unless she came in

'but would not feel anxious about her,
for the Moravian will arrive on Satur-

he turned to more congenial duties.

as she sank into a convenient chair to
rest awhile and think.
