OLD TOBE KILLED,
A $40, 600 Elephant Sacrificed in the
Effort to Subdue Him.

lobe, the mammoth six ton elephant OF
the Wallace Circus, in winter quarters near
Peru, Ind, was killed late the other night in
an endeavor to subdue him. Ever since
his purchase some months ago the animal
has exhibite a violent temper, making at
tempts to come near him extremely, dan
gerous.
1t was determined to sub1ue him or kill
him. So Keeper Forepaugh and his assist
ants, armed with irons and pointed spikes
secured the beast by four chains imbedded
in the foundation walls of the building. The
animal was powerless, with the exception of
his trunk.
For over an hour the punishment was
continued, when finally the infuriated beast
burst blood vessel. dying almost in
stantly. He was valuei:at $4,000.
"Tobe" is the animal that killed a horse a
few weeks ago and also engaged in battle
with Prince" another elephant, nearly
killing him. He also nearly killed one of the
two keepers, He has been a terror to the
men around the farm, and they were IL
danger all the time. The fight is described
as one of the most furious ever seen, and not
once in the hours time did the animal show
the least inclination to yield.

IT WRECKED A VILLAGE.
Fatal Explosion of Flour Dust
at Litchfield, Ill.
The Mighty Shock Felt Miles
Away From the Scene.

At $3.50 o'clock a few mornings ago fire
was discovered in the big Keller Touring
mill in Litchfeld. H., and, despite the
throughout the building.
While employees and firemen were fighting
the flames a terrific explosion caused py
-four dust occurred, and the immense suruc-
ture was blown to fragments.
John Cowie head miIIwright, living at
Waterloo, II. Y, was instantly killed, and
several employees were seriously injured.
The explosion wrecked nearly every business
house in the village. Many persons were
badly hurt by flying bricks and falling
timbers.
The damage to the mill alone will reach
81, 100000. and other property was damaged
over $50, 600.
The shock was felt in the neighboring
villages of Clyde, Butler, Gillespie and Hills
boro. In many of these places the con-
cussion was so great that plate glass win
dows were broken.
When the fire started the citizens were
awakened by the ringing Of fire-bells, and
before they could dress, many .of them were
half stunned by the shock Of the explosion.
The next moment they found the walls OF
their homes falling upon them.
It is estimated that 5000 worth of glass
was DESTROYED in the town. Houses in Litch =
field were shaken from their foundations
and the machinery in the Lltchheld Car and
Machinery Companies works was SO Jared
that work had to be suspended. Western
Union Telegraph wires were also Frustrated.
It is believed that a spark from passing
locomotive ignited the dust in the mill and
caused the explosion
The large elevator standing Immediately
across the Wabash track west of the mill,
and containing some go, 600 bushels of
wheat, was quickly in flames and, together
with it's valuable contents, burned TO the
ground.
Ten or twelve cars of wheat standing on
the house track were burned. A large pile
of debris about ten or fifteen feet high fell
on the main track of the Wabash Railroad,
and, as a consequence, traffic On that road
is badly impaired.
The mill was the property of Kehlor
Brothers, of st. Louis. The capacity of the
iLitchfield mill was 1000 barrels of flour
daily. It employed $50 men and was, it is
claimed, the largest Touring mill IN the
United States.

From the New York Sun tDem.,.

An esteemed democratic correspondent
70 Bath sends US this whimsical inquiry:
"Who in blazes is Hokus Smith, Every
newspaper l see has a lot of stuff about
Hokus Smith of Georgia being Secretary of
the Interior. Will you take the trouble to
tell me il it's jokes Is there any such
man as Hokus Smith, or Is he myth or a
pseudonymea What is the joke, anyway
Our esteemed correspondent is evidently
puzzled by the unusual Christian name OF
the Hon. Hokus Smith. Hokus or Hoax is
unusual at least In these parts, although 10
may be more familiar in Georgia. The
family name of Hokus Smith, on the con-
trary, is borne by 80 many estimable citi-
zens that it has a pleasant, homelike sound
in all our ears. The popularity or .distino-
ton of Hokus Smiths name ia its blending
of the familiar and the unusual. 1t is a
strong and vigorous name. We take Hokus
20 be q name OF Scandinavian or Gothic
origin. akin, perhaps, to Hakon or Hagen,
or to the various forms of hook, hake, etc.
To receive such a name Is Of itself piece of
good fortune, and Hokus Smith has worn
it gracefully. Instead of being an auagram
like the name of Voltaire or translation
like Erasmus, it Is genuine and actual
In inquiring IL Hokus Smith lie a myth or
joke. or correspondent seems TO be joking
himself, and in a manner which, we must
be permitted to say, is unjust to his reputa-
ton for good taste. Hokua Smith is, we
believe man of vast vitality aud imposing
physical bulk. He is, or has been. we are
informed, a lawyer: but he has earned his
chief distinction by his activity as the edi-
tor or proprietor OF a newspaper. In the
face of immense opposition he persistently
advocated the denomination of Mr.. CleVe-
land in 1892.

WAYCRosS, GA, Feb. u. - Alsck
Trawick, a farmer who lives about thirty
miles south OF this city, walked into town
to-day and asked a gentlemene where he
could buy a ticket. Mr.. Trawick is a re-
markable man. He is the father of twelve
daughters and six sons. The youngest child
is daughter is years of age MIR. Trawick
told an Interesting story as follows: Eyes
want to buy ticket TO a little place on
the Central railroad, where my oldest son
lives. / have not seen a railroad since the
war, and don't remember how a train looks
j have lived on farm near the Oketinokee
swan p all my life. l went TO war when |
was 80 years old. aud got wounded in both
arms, and one of them had TO be amputsted
below the elbow. Then a piece OF shell
hit me in my right eye and
put it out. After the war was over
returned home and have never been six
miles away from the place since. One of
my boys brought me about half way to
Waycross and l walked here. AS / was
walking along the road came to house
and asked if could stay all night, and was
invited to do SO. The lady was about my
age and noticed at the first that she looked
familiar TO me. l told her where | was go
ing, and started to tell her l thought
knew her, when to my surprise the old lady
said, 'Aleck,' and said Sarah We knew
each other, and there we stood with our
hands olssped together. We could not
speak; our hearts were too full of words
The love Of other and brighter days was re-
membered by US both, for we used TO be
sweetheerts. We had been engaged to be
married and a young school teacher came
In the neighborhood, and. with his fine
looks and fattering words, he persuaded
my beautiful Sarah to marry him
They we're married, and for several years
was frequently informed as to their where
abouts, but after awhile lost all trace Of
them. married in a few years, and have
been widower five years. All these memo
ries came to my mind as we stood there, and
swiftly but silently the old love stole into
my heart again. Sarah told me the old
story and cried great deal. Her husband
died fifteen years ago. She has only one
child, man who is single and lives with
his mother. stayed there three days, and
when left her we were engaged to marry
on my return home. l feel like l am a
young man to-day. 1 am now nearly Is
years old. Yes, we intend to spend our
| days together after all. "
The old gentleman was shown the depot
and told to hurry, as the train was due. He
waved his hat as he passed the gentleman
with whom he had been talking, as the
train was starting off.
