The value of ice cream a., a remedy

physicians permit it through typhoid

Numbering Seven Mon.
JOPLIN. Mo-. Aug. 8.-George Hudson,
the notorious robber and murderer OF Gran
by, was shot and killed last night in his
saloon at that place while resisting arrest.
The authorities of Colorado had obtained
a requisition for Hudson to remove him to
that state for trial on the charge of having
murdered and robbed an old nan at Gran
lite Pass. William Rubelew, a desperate
messenger from Colorado, was sent to ar
rest Hudson. He, together with Carl Stout,
a deputy sheriff of this place,
went t., CRANKY last night and
attempted to make The arrest;
Hudson was unarmed, but he grspplcd
with Stout in order to obtain the latter's re.
vo.ver. During the struggle Rutsley shot
and killed Hudson. Hudson was Ole OF
the most noted desperadoes of the state. He
began his career of crime when q mere boy

Ingenious methoa o, Rope Climbing.

Ingenious Method OF Rope
A valuable practical device is that
which has lately been brought to
notice by a French inventor, designed
to facilitate rope climbing. while at
the same time permitting the climber
to have free use OF mis- hands. The
apparatus consists OF two boards,
Joined by a hinge, with a hole passing
through both the hinge andthe boards,
and the extremities OF the latter pro-
vided with straps, which can be
fastened to the feet OF the man using
the apparatus. The method of climb
ing involved in this arrangement is
simple. When the feet ATTACHED to
the boards are lifted the rope is free,
but the moment the feet are pressed
down on the boards the rope is firmly
gripped. 1t is only necessary, there
fore, to lift the body by both hands
as far as possible, and it can then be
held by the hinged clamps until
another lift is made. By the use of g.
belt to hold the body close to the
rope the hands may be left free. The
devise, which is claimed to fulfill its
purpose admirably, is designed
especially for the use OF iremen and
painters. also to serve as a fire escape.

HUNTED FOR HIS COAT.

The Intelligent Sea Otter Fast Dis
appear,ng-Talk Of a Reservation.
A marine animal OF greater value
than the fur seal is being rapidly ex-
terminated in Boring sea and in the
waters along the northwest coast,
owing to a long.continued neglect by
the treasury department at Washing
ton to enforce existing laws for its
protection. As a result, the Pitts
burg Dispatch says, this government
is likely to have to undertake the
support of several hundred natives
on the western islands Of the Aleutian
chain who have hitherto depended on
the chase of the sea otter for their
living. The final destruction of this
interesting beast signifies the reduction
of the population in that region to
absolute savagery and ever to
starvation. Already the formerly
prosperous inhabitants of certain
Villages have been brought to such
extremities as to be obliged to subsist
on seaweed. The fur OF the sea otter
is the most beautiful and most costly
OF all peltries. 1t has as fixed q
value in the market to-day as any OF
the preciousmetals, q prime skin being
worth $3.50, while an exceptionally
good one will sometimes fetch as much
as $3.50. From the earliest times it
has commanded as high a price as to-
day. The japanese priced it above
all other materials for garments as
long ago as 1000 years before the dis
coverv Of America by Columbus. and
mighty tycoons clothed themselves
with its shimmering velvet.
Geographical discovery in the north
ern Pacific was originally due in a
great measure to the incentive offered
BY the demand for the coat OF this
prosecuted creature. When the Rus
SLAMS first opened up the Aleutian
islands and the Hudson bay traders
secured the coasts OF Puget sound and
Oregon they found the natives COM
monty wearing sea otter cloaks. With
which they parted for a tride, not
valuing them equally with the hair

more than 10000 persons were
annually engaged in pursuit of the
animal from 1741 to 1845, when
their numbers were so far reduced as
to render the industry on such a scale
no longer remunerative. Some notion
may be got of their original plentiful
ness from the fact that in the year

The Most Curious Case.

Perhaps the most curious salvage
case on record is that of the ship
Two Friends, which stranded ON the
Coast of Cuba and was abandoned by
her crew. Another ship, the John
Blake, met a similar fate, and her
crew in attempting to find a landing
place, came across the Two Friends,
which they managed to get off and to
navigate to England without further
mishap. The judgewho tried the case
decided that salvage services had been
rendered, but ofonly ordinary Difficult.
