chester shoat, of about So pounds weight
1t was clipped and daubed and was as
smooth as butter. 1t was as full o.
movement as quicksilver, and as elusive
as a phantom. 1t made gallant strug

too much for it. After an exciting chase
Jake Rice fastened his two hands on it:
hind legs and trundled it away in wheel
barrow fashion as his own prize.
There was little effort made to take the
prize offered to the person bringing in
the largest number of people in one
wagon. Leroy Moore reported with only
six aboard and got the money.

Union MaatinD

THE various young peoples religious
societies, of this place, met together at
the United Presbyterian church, Sunday
evening. Samuel Clark, Jr, of the Y. P.
S. G. F., acted as President. Scripture
was read respOnsively, and the exercises
were then made entirely voluntary. Short
prayers, pertinent remarks, and well pre-
pared papers filled out the evening. A
fact, remarked on by DR.. Balph, was the
large majority of soprano voices heard
in the exercises. Church work is not as
popular as it should be among our young
men,

reference to Cadet King, of this district:
Cadet d. NJ King returned from West

vacation after two years incessant study
and drill at the military academy. He

of the stuff that succeeds, and he will be
several notches higher at the end of the

Harvest Prospects of the world.

The London Times summarizes the har-
vest prospects of the world as follows: In
Russia there is grave deficit, the peasantry
are starving and there is small hope of re
lief. In India there is serious anxiety: a
famine prevails over considerable portion
of the country. Bombay alone promises a
good harvest. The American harvest will
be good in quality and amount; but with
the failure of the Indian and Russian sup
plies it is of the utmost importance that
the English crop shall not be short. The
prospect on the whole is good. In the
chief wheat countries, Essex, Norfolk and
Suffolk, the crop is above the average. The
harvest will be late and prices high. There
is, therefore, a good outlook for the Eng
fish farmer to break the long series of dis

A Pet Enwn snre. dc Lie Of a Chnd.

A despatch from Tampa, Fla, says:
George Bell, keeper of Picnic island. in the
lower harbor, has two little girls to whom
pet deer belonging to II. S. Warner IL Co.
on the island is very much attached. The
little fawn follows the children wherever
they go. One day the children stole away
from home to play on the wharf, when the
youngest one fell overheard. The deer at
once jumped in after the child, which soon
sank out of sight.
The deer then swan to the beach and
ran at lightning speed to the keeper S
house, where the mother of the child was.
1t reared upon its hind feet, blew and
snOred, and cut queer antics, as if to at
tract Mrs. Bells attention. 1t then started
down the beach on an excited run and
jumped into the water again. Mrs. Bell
missed her children, and, dropping every
thing, she followed the animal, whom she
saw plunge from the wharf into the bay.
One leg of her little girl was sticking out
of the water and when she rescued her she
was unconscious. BY rolling and rubbing
the child was finally resuscitated.
Capt. Bob Warner is so proud of his
fawn that he has ordered a handsome col
lar and a silver bell for it, He says $1,000
could not buy it,

ALnrge Cave i'm Oregon.

The San Francisco Examiner announces
the discovery of an enormous cavern in
Josephine county, Oregon, about II miles
north of the California line and about 40
miles from the coast. The exploring party
which visited the cavern found two en-
frances looking like small tissues in a great
limestone bluff. This limestone extends
for miles and appears massive and solid
outside, but is honeycombed within with
cracks and crevasses which extend for
miles without any apparent order or sys-
tenn. Many of the passages within the
cave are described as of great beauty, con-
tanning semi-transparent stalactites, giant
milk-white pillars, and pools and streams
of pure, clear water. A creek flows from
the main opening to the cave, and it was
here that the party entered They spent
week in exploring the cave, and found in
Vulnerable passages and chambers. Sever
al miles from the entrance they discovered
a small lake of clear water and a water
fall 80 feet in height. All kinds of gro
tesaue figures were found in the various
chambers. Large numbers of fiash-light
photographs were taken. The only sign
of any animal life was found a short dis
lance from the entrance, where few bones
indicated that bears had used it for lair,
carrying their prey there. 1t was esti-
mated that the main body of the cave was
1900 feet from the surface of the mount
ain, and the cavern itself appeared to be
fully as large as Mammoth cave in Ken
lucky.
