HOW BETA WAS SAVED.
A Novel Plan Adopted to Save the Life of
a Valuable Elephant.

st. Louis Republic.l
Apropos to the incident related in last

the big elephant at BarabOo, Wis, from
having swallowed a chain weighing 90
pounds, reminder was called up and re-
lated by DR.. Hume, Of Denver, who re-
Gently registered at the Lindell.
Just prior to the demise of the much
lamented Phineas I. Barnum, was tour
ing in Connecticut, and called upon the
greatshowman at Bridgeport, who invited
me to see the circus animals in winter
quarters. On arriving at the great cara
vansary where the wonders that tour the
country year after year are stored the illus
trious owner was informed that Beta, the
prize trick elephant, was ailing. All the
symptoms Of the poor beast pointed to the
fact that she was suffering from acute gas
tralgia, and many means had been tried
to relieve her without avail.
Z" 1t was finally discovered that Beta
had by some means wrenched off an iron
bar from her stall. and as it could not be
found it was surmised that she had swal-
lowed it, and which accounted for the gas
trio irritation of the valuable paehyderm.
Mr.. Barnum saw that poor Beta must
soon succumb to the inflammation caused
by such large foreign body and with
ready wit resolved on all unique plan to
remove it. Attached to his large winter
hotel was a small colored boy who went
by the name of Negro Joe. He was but
little larger than full-grown 'possum,
and Barnum sent for him and explained
that he must take rubber tube in his
mouth to breathe through, and with 9
rope around his waist must 60 down into
the elephants stomach and get out the
bar of iron.

PLANTING STRAWBERRY VINES.
No Reason Why Every Farmer May Not
Have Berries for Home Use.
AmerIean Farmer.l

American Farmer.l
Strawberry vines may safely be planted
as late as the middle of June, and if the
weatheris favorable, until the first of July.
There is no reason why every farmer may
not have all the berries he wants Tor home
use. A few square yards devoted to this
berry will supply an abundance for the
farmers table. They are quite easy to
raise, and vines can be bought at very
reasonable price from the nurserymen.
The ground should be thoroughly pre-.
pared before they are planted. If large
lot is to be planted the ground should be
plowed and narrowed, and then marked
off into rows 3 feet apart. The plants are
set about one foot apart in the rows, The
best tool to use for this purpose is flor
lists trowel. Dip the plants into thick
mud. The ground must be thoroughly
cultivated and all weeds killed. Any
blossoms that may appear this season
should be cut off, as by bearing fruit they
will do the vine far more injury than sew
eral times the worth of the fruit they would
bear.
Train the vines along the row, making
a thick mat from S to y inches wide. AS
soon as the ground freezes in the fall cover
the bed with corn fodder, straw, leaves
or swamp grass, This is not necessary tc
protect the plants from the cold. but tC
keep the ground from freezing and thaw'
ing, which does much injury to plants by
exposing the roots.

of that desirable fact. Otherwise he is

cy and completion in such q design he
has carefully compared the original ri &C.

taken ether steps looking to making 1t
as reliable as possible. Tne map will be
strictly up to date in every essential par
ticular. The Dimensions will be 40 by 20
inches with scale of 800 feet TO the inch.
1t will contain all the plsts placed on
record up to the first of February and in
addition some that have been laid out, but
not yet recorded. 1t will be of striking
general appearance, especial prominence
being given to churches, school houses
and the principal manufactures.
The map will prove of great conven.
fence and advantage to all business and
professional men, but more particularly
to real estate agents, abstract makers and
all interested in the city's welfare and
growth. The map is a private enter
prise on Mr.. Dsrling's part. and being

A SOLAR ECLIPSE.
A Phenomenon to be Witnessed Along in
April.


A total eclipse of the sun-alwsys a
phenomenon of commanding interest
will occur in the spring O. this year un-
der circumstances which make its obser-
walton peculiarly promising to science.
At such time, as at no other, our great
lnminarg is Invested for few minutes Of
his dazzling glory and fully exposes his
coronal appendages to the camera.
Then, if ever, it is that astron omers can
gain clear views of the structure. the
surging movements. the tremendous
eruptiens and the mysterious disturb
ances of the mighty orb of day which &C
tuates the machinery OF the esrth's at
mosphere and ocean, and 80 powerfully
affects all our material interests. For
this reason the phenomenon is always, if
possible, carefully observed by scien-
lists.
But the New York Herald points out
that the eclipse of April 16 is exception
ally important. 1t occurs at period
when the solar fires are in extraordinary
full blast and the photosphere is convuls-
ed by enormous cyclone like spots. 1t
will be visible in regions comparatively
near and accessible 1T time when as
tronomers are better prepared than ever
before to improve the opportunity.
Moreover, eclipse observations will be
now especially valuable as possibly throw
ing some conclusive light upon the cli-
matte and meteorological influences ex-
erted upon our own planet by the SUI
when tho periodical changes of his ac,iv-
ity are in progress and nearing the max
ium. Upon more accurate knowledge
of the sslar changes than we now have
the future advance of terrestrial metero-
logy and magnetism seems largely TO de-
pend.
A paramount feature in the next
eclipse is that it will probably afford the
best facilities for solving the great pro b.
lem of short period changes in the solar
corona. In the eclipse of 1889 on the
West African and Guins coasts the OBJ
servations were msrred By cloudy wealth
er. But the eclipse of next April will be
visible in the comparatively cloudless re-
gions of both the African desert and the
the Gillian desert, which, as Professo,
David P. Todd remarks, sis very i'm
portaut consideration and one not likely
to be so we'll fulfilled in any other cell pse

UNOBlIGlNG AT LEAST.
That Marriage License Episode, and Where
the Responsibility Rests.


The Union takes exceptions to the crit
icism by The ARGUS of County Clerk
Kohler in refusing to grant marriage
license on the Sabbath day TO G. W.
Bsuk, of Ksnkakee, the young man
brought here By the minions Of the law.
In doing SO the paper attempts to shift
the responsibility of the matter upon
Deputy Rinck, instead of wuere It right
fully belongs. Mr.. Rinck was perfectly
willing to issue the license upon appli-
cation, but being in doubt as TO his legal
right to do so. asked permission OF his
chief through tele phonic communication,
explaining the circumstances. Clerk
Kohler, however, peremptOrily refused to
allow him to issue the license, and the
ceremony therefore had to be deferred
until O'Clock Monday morning. much
to the inconvenience Of Mr.. Rinck,
Squire Wivill, Deputy Briggs and the
contracting parties. The only wonder is
that Kohler consent ed to be Intercepted
at all.
The Union admits that Col. Kohle
erred as to the authority to issue mar
rage licenses on Sundays in saying:
On inquiry we learn that the statutes
do not expressly prohibit the issuing of
licences on Sundays, but neither do they
require the clerk to open the office for
the transaction of any business after the
regular office hours or on legal holidays,
and il is optional with him to do 80 or to
refuse.
This is virtusl admission Of what The
ARGUS complained of-the manifestiBg of
an arbitrary and unsccommodsting spirit
on the part of County Clerk Kohler. In
his official capacity he is nothing more
than public servant, and he is expected to
discharge the duties of bis office without
assuming superficial and dictatorial airs.
Mr.. Rinck simply acted under orders, and
in this connection we might add that the
modicum of agreesbleness generally
found in the county clerks Office is rep
resented in the personality Of Col. Kohler's
deputies.
