oUAsHED THE INDICTMENT.
Theo. Mosher Set Free by the United
States Court.

There has been on trial at Topeka this
week the case against Thos. Mosher,
formerly cashier of the defunct First
National bank, on charge of fraudu-
lent entries in the bank books and other
irregularities. 1t will be remembered
that the grand jury brought an in
dictment against Mr., Mosher about a
year ago and the case has just come
up for trial.
The evidence was submitted by, tie
district attorney when the defense
asked that the indictment be set aside
for want of proper fOrmalties in draw
ing the same and for insufficient evil
dence.
Judge Phillips after considering the
matter ruled for the defense and Mr..
Mosher was completely exonerated.
The progress of the proceedins has
been watched closely by Mr.. Ms
friends here and all will congratulate
him on his vindicatiOn.

The Hercules Beetle.

The biggest insect of its kind in the
world is the hercules beetle of South
America, which grows to be six inches
in length. 1t is said, whether truth
fully or not, that great numbers of
these creatures are sometimes seen on
the mammea tree, rasping the rind
from the slender branches by working
around them with their horns until
they cause the juice to flow. This
juice they drink to intoxication, and
thus fall senseless to the ground.

FARMING DID IT.
What Secretary Mohler Says of
Russell County's Wheat.

Russell County's Wheat.
Secretary Mohler and Chancellor
Snow who on account of the Dewspa-
per reports of "little green fly in
Russell county's wheat went there to
investigate, say this Of the damage
they found:
eve had no difficulty in finding "a
little green fly to experiment on, but
it did not take long to learn that the
fly was in no way related to either the
chinch bug or the Hessian fly. The
insect is of a greenish color and ranges
in size from that Of pin head to an
eighth of an inch in length. He is a
lively little fellow and runs about on
the ground.
''PrOf. Snow had his bug book with
him but was unable to find anything
that would give him any information
about the little green fly. However,
he corraIled several of the little fellows
and they will be put on exhibition at
the state university.
"Our examination did not stop there
and it is we'll it did not, for we found
that the fly was not responsible for the
wheat turning yellow. In several
fields we found bugs where the wheat
was all right and we found some fields
in bad shape where there were no bugs.
The only fields we found that were
damaged were those where the wheat
had been drilled in on last years
stubble without being plOwed. Where
the fields had been plOwed before the
wheat was drilled in, the wheat is in
good condition.
1.-The damage has been increased by
the large amount of rain and snow,
which has parched the earth and left |
the wheat stalks bare.
1--WE have made up our minds that |
the damage is to be laid to poor farm
ing and not to the little green fly"

KING BIRDS IN BATTLE.
A LycominE Man Makes Novel CsPtur
While Trout Fishing.

| A Lvcoming Man Makes Novel Capture
! While Trout Fishing.
The tront-fishing season is only q
few DAYS old, and yet G.. A. Sheets, OF
Ouieelville, has had an experience that
a whole summer does not often devel-
op. One morning Mr.. Sheets rugged
himself out for days sport and started
for one of the babbling brooks that the
trout delight to haunt. While passing
Coal Mountain in the vi Unity of Cogan
Station, his attention was attracted by
a commotion some distance ahead. As
he drew near he observed two immense
birds engaged in combat. So intent
were the combatants with the battle
they apparently paid no attention to
Mr.. Sheets, who was thus enabled to
draw quite near.
Prompted by curiosity at the strange
battle, the spectator hid behind tree
snd looked on with amazement. He
soon realized that the scene was I'M
usual as we'll as novel, for one Of the
birds was an immense golden eagle.
while the other was large hawk. It
was a battle for life or death, and.
while the hillsides re-echoed with the
screams of the birds, and the feathers
were flying, Mr.. Sheets could no longer
control himself, especially as the birds
topped around close to where he was
standing. He sprang from his place of
concealment and laid hold of the eagle
which had its talons so firmly imbedded
in the flesh of the hawk as to be un-
able to extricate itself He soon sue
ceeded in subduing the bird and maxi
ing it captive. In the mean time the
hawk died.
Mr.. Sheets succeeded in carrying
both birds home with him, and in the
presence of several of his neighbors
made an examination of them. The
eagle was found to measure seven feet
one inch from tip to tip of its wings
and two feet from head to tail. It's
talons were eight inches in length.
The hawk measured fonr feet four
inches from tip to tip of its wings and
was correspondingly large.
The eagle was cared for and on
Saturday was reported to have fully
recovered from the effects of the fight
and gave indications of becoming quite
tame. It was ravenous and ate freely
of the food furnished by its captor
Mr.. Sheets is very proud of the bird,
which is very rare in these parts

Razor Freaks.

The finest grades of razors are 50
delicate that even the famous Damas.
Gus sword blades cannot equal them in
texture It is not generally known
that the ain of Swedish razor is 50
sensitive that its general direction i
changed after q short service When
you buy fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end of the outer point
in diagonal direction toward the han.
die. Constant strapping will twist the
steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent
use will drag the grain outward from
the edge, so that after steady use for
several months the fiber of the steel
occupies a position exactly the reverse
of that which it did on the day of pur.
chase. The process also affects the
temper of the blade, and when the
grain sets from the lower outer point
toward the back, you have razor
which cannot be kept in condition,
even by the most conscientious bar.
Der. But here's another curious freak
that will take place in the same tool:
Leave the razor alone for month, 0,
two, and when you take it up you will
find that the grain has assumed its
first position. The operation can be
peated until the steel is worn through
to the Observation-Disclosures Gaze!ts

To him h., q rocido,at Mast of Tho

the sok at Tangier. and had translated
to him by resident. Most of this
oral literature of the market place
seems to be sort of apocrypha to the
Arabian Nights" "Once there was a
good man, and his name was Ali. He
had Christian captive, beautiful
English girl. Ali was willing to make
her his wife if she would become a
true believer. Praise the merciful
Allah and his prophet the Lord Mo-
manned! LStory-teller and audience
touch their foreheads. She, on her
part, was willing to be Ali's wife if he
would become Christian, One day
Ali told her to go down to his stable
under his house and saddle his favor
tie horse
"When she got to the stable the
horse lifted both its forefeet and struck
her down. For time she was insen-
sible, and when she recovered con-
seriousness she took the blow of the
horse as proof of her unbelief in the
true God and his prophet. Allah
save and bless us. All touch fore
heads again. So she went up to Ali
and told him she believed and would
become his wife. Then Ali said: Go
down again and saddle my horse She
went down, and the horse struck her
again. Once more she returned to
Ali. You were not true believer
said Ali; go down again. Yet again
she went down to the stable, and then
Ais fayorite horse suffered her to
saddle him, and she brought him to
Ali, and Ali married her, and she was
true believer forever after. Story
teller stops to make collection;
good number of copper coins are
handed to him, then he resumes. |
Now we leave Ali and 60 far away into
the desert. There was fight between
good Moor and great Christian
chief. The Moor had a beautiful wife,
and the Christian killed him and took
his wife and rode away with her. And
one day he met Ali and challenged
him to fight. But Ali had magic
sword, with which he could kill what
ever he could see, no matter how far
away; so while the chief was boasting
Ali drew his sword and swept it in the
air. And when the Christian chief
/ cried, Come and fight me, Ali an
swered him, You are dead already,
turn yourself round and you shall see.
"Then the chief found that he had
been cut SO clean by Ais magic sword
that he did not know that he was dead.
But he fell asunder as he twisted
about and rolled off his horse into the
sand. So the Moorish woman whom
he had made captive rejoiced. and she
looked upon Ali and saw that he was a
goodly man and offered herself to him
to be his wife. But Ali had got wife
already, even the captive who had once
been Christian. So he would not
take the Moorish woman, but gave her
to another, and thus all was well and
everybody happy. Give thanks to
Allah, the merciful and mighty. More
touching of foreheads and another col
lection. Then a story OF finer flavor,
told with infinite and too obvious pan
tomime, amid shrieks of laughter from
men and women, and little boys and
| girls.
