HE BEAT THE BULLET.
A Maine Mans Remarkable Race with
Confederate at Gettysburg.

1t was i'm well-known hotel in Ban
gor, says the News of that city.
party OF gentlemen were conversing on
one subject and another. During a
lull in the conversation one gentleman
noticed a scar on the hand OF another
and interrogated him as to the cause.
The other answered that he received
it in a very curious way, and told the
following story in regard to it:

Gettysburg. l had been figting all

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Furious Attack of Mountain Lion Upon A
Boy.
Helena Herald.1


Nj. ). Bolles, a prominent banker
and financier OF Boston, with his wife
and two sons, Reginald and Matthew,
Jr., are guests at the Broadwater,
having arrived from the east Satur-
day via the National Park. Mr.. Boil
les is largely interested in Helena real
estate. While at Livingston on Friday
evening last Matthew Jr., aged ten
years, met with an unlocked for acci-
dent, which came near proving fatal.
In company with his father the lad
went to see a mountain lion, owned
and kept on exhibition by Witch
Bros. The animal was hungry and
unusually restive. Suddenly he broke
his chain without an apparent effort,
and springing a distance OF twenty
feet, lit upon Matthew and bore him
to the ground. In less time than il
takes to relate it, Mr.. BoIles seized the
ferocious beast by the collar and
twisting it with superhuman energy
choked the animal until he released
his hold upon his son; and assistance
speedily coming the beast was secured.
The boy was quite severely injured,
but not so bad as was first feared.
His scalp was torn, his face and body
lacerated by the sharp claws OF the
lion, and his clothes almost torn into
shreds. 1t is an outrage that such an
accident is made possible, and the au-
thorities or Livingston should see to
it that this ferocious animal is killed.
A mad or vicious dog would be imme-
diately killed by the police; then why
not exterminate this lion that is liable
any day to break its fastenings and
mutilate or kill a human being

Cobdenites VS.. Mckinley.

PrTRBURG, Pa, Sept. 6.-Thomas
H. Dudley, a prominent citizen OF New
Jersey who has just returned from
England, in conversation with a num-
Der of Pittsburg manufactures at
Cresson Springs, is quoted as saying;
while at the Golden club ! learned
that determined effort was being
made to defeat Mckinley for governor
OF Ohio, and if money can do 1T 1t VIII
be done. No specific amount has
been mentioned, but 81 100000 can
readily be secured by voluntary con
tributions." During the past week Ell
forts have been made by prominent
Allegheny county Democrats to IN
fluence dissatisfied proteetionists tc
take measures for work in opposition
to Mckinley.

Tin-Plats in Ohio.

The Cleveland Leader says that be-
fore January 1st the tin-plate- mills in
that city will produce 600 boxes a
week, and 1000 boxes q week will be
turned out before the next presiden-
tial election. The opponents OF tin
plate manufacture in the United
States will be overwhelmed with the
American product within a year. Let
the industry gain foothold and the
supporters of British interests in this
country will not be able to destroy it.
They recognize the fact and it accounts
for the wild despair with which Ameri.
can tin-plate is denounced and misrep-
resented.

A Few Dont's.

Don't feed corn or cornmeal to
horses during hot weather; it is too
heating.
Don't spare the oats. The well fed
horse stands up under constant work
when the underfed falters.
Don't imagine that when you water
your horses three times day you
have done all that nature demands.
Don't breed that old broken-down
mare. 1t won't pay, but will be an
injury to the breeding industry.
Don't throw away the curry comb
now that farm work is rushing. 1t is
needed more now than it was last
winter.
Don't let the stallion stand idle in
the barn. Make him work some; it
will add to his potency and help pay
for his food.
Don't overload the team. 1t is bet
ter to make two trips than to strain
| the horses, or get them in the habit OF
baking.
| Don't use heavy harness. Light
ones, properly made of good leather
are stronger, last longer and are
easier on horses.
Don't think because your neighboI
has bought a stallion that he has beer
necessarily cheated and has bought q
failure. Give the horse a chance &c
show by his progency what he IS, un
less manifestly bad.
Don't let the horses eat too mucl
green grass, A little while in the pas
ture after days work will do then
, good, but too much green food vii
work injury and cause the hoIses tC
) sweat easily at work.
Don't go of into the next town o
county to breed your mare if al
, equally good stallion of the same bree'
and style is owned on the next farm
You may own stallion some day
and then you will need the patronag
! OF your neghbors-their reciprocity.

1t is very evident from the above
showing that the Republican admins
tration is doing much more for the
western settlers than was accom-
plished by the Democrats. The reason
is plain. The Sparks crowd did its Mt
most TO discourage settlement and de-
velopment in the west, and tried to
prevent honest settlers from getting a
clear title to their lands, while the Re-
publican administration is settling up
all these cases as fast as possible, and
issuing the patents to those who are
entitled to them.

THE CHILEAN SITUATION.
Minister Months Efforts 10 Avert Re
sort to Arms.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-There is great
anxiety among members of congress
over the Chilean situation. There is q
general apprehension that trouble can.
not be avoided. 1t is announced that q
resolution will be introduced in the sen
ate today calling upon the president fol
all correspondence with relation to tht
subject.
There are some things that have trans
pired of which the public have not been
informed. Two gentlemen in the house
whose relations with the state depart
ment are such as to make it entirely
probable that they are well informed
upon the subject, while acknowledging
that some things have happened that
make the situation look ugly, assert that
the trouble will be amicably settled
Senator Morgan, whose position on the
foreign relations committee gives weight
to his words on such subjects, declared
thattan amicable settlement was abso.
lutely assured. -...
There may be some diplomacy In these
declarations, and they may be based
upon nothing more than the knowledge
that Minister Montt is doing his best &c
bring his country to an appreciation oi
the danger to 1t of maintaining defiant
attitude. The assumption is, however
that they possess some other informa
tion. 1t is worthy of remark, neverthe-
less, that. their sanguine expectations
are not joined in by members and sena
tors generally who have been more OF
less interested in the affair.

publicans presented themselves yes.
terday afternoon and last night 10 pay
taxes as on the day and night previous,
and about the same number, one In
five, are permitted by courtesy" to
pay their taxes.
The proportion of those permitted
to pay to those applying to pay, has
been watched for some time past and
1t has been found to be about one In
every flye-that is where one is per-
mitted to pay, four are turned away
though all are known to be assessed.
The talk amongst Democrats now Is,
ly hurt his little boomlet for the nomi-
nation for sheriff In 1892, and in COR
responding degree he has helped the
candidacy OF Peter j. Ford.
The party will be afraid to go before
the people with John L. Dickey on the
ticket for sheriff OF any other office
Dickey's time for collecting taxes will
expire the last day OF this month. He
will then appoint delinquent collectors
OF taxes to collect the balance. It is
generally supposed that he will ap.
point his deputy Mr. Finck for one
district and John A. Mitchell for the
other.
These delinquent collectors, through
january and February, nre permitted
to collect, as they see proper, not even
required to have an office anywhere,
but between the first and second
Tuesdays of March they will be requir-
ed to advertise tho times and places
where they may be found to receive
taxes, but the law does not state how
long they are to remain at any one
place.
Under these circumstances those
who have not been to see Dickey had
better call on hlrn before this month
expires. His office Ia open from 2 to
each afternoon, and from z to s in the
evening, except on Christmas day. Let
all run the gauntlet. Dickey can do
no more than say the name is not on
his books, thereby denying the record
at the court house.
