ANOTHER FARMER swINDLED.
Peter Brothers Persuaded Out of $500
by Novel Method.


GOSHEN. July 25.-Special-A very
smooth swindler has just buncoed Peter
Brothers. a well-to-dO st. Joseph county
farmer. out of $500 in cool cash
The scheme practiced to get the "gelt'
was a novel one. 1t seems at one time
Mr.. Brothers carried a policy Of 81 500
in a western insurance company. but had
failed to pay an assessment, and accord
ing TO his Interpretation of the contract
supposed the policy had lapsed.
The other day a well-dressed stranger
called upon Mr.. Brothers and assured
him that he was an agent of the com
pany and that by the payment of $500 he
could secure him the face Of the policy.
The farmer was not the man to permit
$500 to slip through his fingers when a
paltry $500 would secure it, and he
straightway mortgaged his farm and
came up smiling with the required
amount
The parties went to South Bend last
Saturday to get the insurance cOmpany's
check cashed at a bank Unfortunately
the hour was noon and the bank was
closed.
The gentlemanly agent declared that
he did not wish to take advantage of
his friend, so he placed the $500 in an en-
veloDe and gave it back to Mr. Brothers
to hold until the check could be cashed
after the bank had opened.
Both men were anxious to get dinner.
so they separated for that purpose with
the understanding that they should meet
at the bank at l O'Clock. BY some means
they failed TO come together again at
the time specified, and the farmer, Sc
cure in the thought he had his $500 In
the envelope, gave himself little uneasi-
ness. At about 3 O'Clock he began TO
think something was wrong and opened
the envelope. To his CONSERVATION. he
found that his crisp bills were gone and
in their place were pieces Of brown paper.
The agent was also gone and now Mr..
Brothers realizes that he will never
come back any more. The check for
81 500 was a clever fnrgnrv

DYNAMITING = SALOON.
George ID. Moss Sample Room Lifted
Into Space.

BROOKLYN, July 27.-Special-George
3. Moss has been running a saloon in this
place for some time past and it did not
meet with the approval of the better
class Of citizens.
Last night some one placed a stick Of
dynamite under this saloon and it was
shifted into the immensely of space.
This is the second saloon that has
been blown up here. One saloOn-keeper
was whipped by white caps and several
others given white cap notices to quit
or suffer the penalty, and they always
took warning. 1t is a celebrated fact
that saloon is very shortlived in this
town.
There is a condition in all the Origi-
nal deeds that "In case intoxicating
liquors as a beverage are ever sold on
said premises the land falls back to the
original owner, the Hon. Franklin Lan-
ders."
This condition was tested about a
year ago when Parker and Orr ran a
saloon here, and il held good.

Hardware store.

WAVELAND, July 26. - Special -
About 1890 o'clock today a fire in the
room occupied by George Dillman caused
an explosion of several kegs Of powder.
The entire building was wrecked and
the loss is unknown. The stock of goods
consisted of hardware. stoves, tinware,
queensware and glassware.
The fire was under control before ii

to the stock. The windows were broken
out of buildings on the opposite side of
the street.
No one happened to be in the building

THE NIMBLE ELEPHANT.
He Ventures I'm Places Which Would
Puzzle Sure-FOOted Mules.

1t is a remarkable thing that elephants
are able to make their way up and down
mountains and through a country of
steep cliffs where mules would not dare
to venture and even where men find
passage difficult. Their tracks have been
found upon the very summit of noun
tains over seven thousand feet high. In
these Journeys an elephant is often COM
PEELED to descend hills and mountain
sides which are almost precipitous. This
is the way in which it is done.
The elephants first maneuver is to
kneel down close to the declivity. One
fore leg is then cautiously passed over
the edge and a short way down the slope,
and if he finds there is no good spot for
a firm foothOld he speedily forms one by
stamping into the soil If Il is moist or
kicking out footing if it is dry. When
he is sure of a good foothOld the other
fore leg is brought down in the same
way. Then he performs the same work
over and over again with his feet, bring
ing both fore legs a little in advance of
the first footholds. This leaves good sure
places all made and ready for the hind
feet Now. bracing himself by his huge,
strong fore legs, he draws his hind legs,
first one and then the other, carefully
over the edge, where they occupy the
first places made by the fore feet.
This is the way the huge animal pro-
ceeds all the way down, zigzag. kneelng
every time with the two hind legs, while
he makes footholds with his fore feet
In this way the center Of gravity is
preserved and the huge beast prevented
from topping over on his noseAInter

EFFECT OF AIR ON COAL.
Under Certain Conditions Spontaneous
Combustion Is Likely 90 Occur.

A thorough and scientific examination
made by an English chemist on the effect
of air and ventilation on coal gives the
following results:
l. The danger Of spontaneous firing Of
coal in large Jumps is very slight. but is
much greater with smaller coal and
greater still with dust, the increase of
danger being due to the larger extent
of surface exposed to the air i'm proper
ton TO the mass of the COAL (2) air
dried coal which contains more than 3
per cent. Of moisture is dangerous. but if
ii contains less the danger diminishes,
the moisture contained being a measure
of the absorbent power of the coal for
air, and the more absorbent the coal the
more dangerous; CD the danger is some
what increased by the presence of pyrites
in large quantity; ca newly won coal
should be shielded from the air as much
as possible TO prevent the chance of
rapid heating, and for the same reason
il is best not TO stack it i'm large heaps,
since these retain the heat; Co all eXter-
nal sources of heat, such as steam pipes,
boilers and hot fues in the neighbour
hood Of the coal, add very greatly 10 the
risk. spontaneous heating becoming vast
ly more rapid when IL is assisted from
without. or course these conclusions
have special relation to coal that is
stored or shipped in cargoes.-N. Y. Sun.
