Michael Angelo.

Michael Angelo was equally great as
painter, sculptor and architect. In or
der to paint figures properly he devoted
l2 years to the study of anatomy alone.
His monument to Pope Julius II was
on so grand scale that the Church of
ST. Peter in Rome was altered with n
view to atfording a suitable place for its
reception. The tomb was afterward
modified in plan and placed i'll another
church. His Last Judgment" requir-
ed seven years to execute and was finish
ed when the artist was nearly 6S. A
few weeks before his death the aged
artist was met one day in the street
walking through the snow with great
difficulty. When asked where he was
going, he replied, ITO school to try
and learn something.

Fire on Water st.

This two story, double house owned
and occupied by Mark Hilton ON
Water street, caught fire about 1913
O'Clock, Wednesday morning. The
alarm was given as soon as discovered
and the Fire companies turned out
promptly and did effective work. Three
streams from the MIGRANTS and one from
the steamer drowned the fire out as
soon as it could be reached. The fire
caught around a chimney in the attic
of the ell at point very difficult to
reach. The roof of the main house and
of portion of the ell was so badly dam
aged as to render it worthless. The
fire only reached the upper story and
attic but the water damage is considera-
BILE as the structure was thoroughly
soaked.
Two families occupied the house,
those of Mark Hilton and William
Hayden. The furniture of each was
largely removed from the lower story
and some from the second.
An unfortunate circumstance connect
ed with the occurance was the sickness of
Mr.. Hilton, who has been confined to his
bed for many months and is helpless.
He was carried across the street to Mr..
II. 5. Russell's where he was immediate
" made comfortable.
The loss is variousIy estimated at
from $500 to $1,000. and the house aud
furniture were well insured.
Mr. Hilton's family fortunately found
a house near at hand ON kennebec street,
and moved their furniture into it Wed
nesday afternoon.

The Horses Hoof.

In its present elaborate form the hoof
of horse is the most perfect instrument
of support which has been devised in the
animal kingdom to uphold large and
swiftly moving animal in It's passage over
the ground. The original toe-nail. and
the neighboring soft parts connected with
it, have been modified into a structure
which in an extraordinary manner com
bines sohdity with elasticity, SO that it
may strike violent blows upon the hard
surface of the earth without harm. The
result is that the horse can carry a great
er weight at a swifter speed than any
other animal approaching 1t in size

Has He Confessed9

From indications at present, there
may be some new developments of a
starting character in the mystery sur
rounding the killing of Mrs. M. r. Kent
over in Mandan last March. It will be
remembered that Kent disappeared
shortly before the death of his wife and
has been heard from but once since,
when he was arrested in Nebraska.
and escaped while Sheriff Bingenhimer
OF Morton county was en- route east
after him. It will be remembered also,
that the shooting was done by one
~Swidensky, q hired man at the Kent
place, who claimed the shooting was &C.
cidental. Swidensky has been in Jail
ever since, and now there is a we'll
founded rumor that Swidensky has
made a confession in the matter, which,
it is said duplicates Kent and himself
in the murder of the wife Of Kent.
How extensive is, or the exact nature of,
the confession, cannot be told, but it is
claimed the sheriff has been appraised by
Swidnesky of Kent's whereabouts, and
has gone after him. It is said the mis-
sing man is in Colorado.

berry is supposed to have been committed

Mr.. Scovil, to have been a tough looking

about the place Thursday. He dis
appeared along toward evening, and this
morning MI. Scovil found a window in

articles of clothing and underwear miss
ing from his store, which is in the same
building as the office. The p~ostofice be-
longings were d~isarranged, and a number
of stamped envelopes and postal cards

time, and pleasant and successful hunt.
One OF the party, Mr.. Pease, is the re-
publican candidate for sheriff of Cook
county, this fall. In the course Of a
hunt the other day, and incident occur
red, which the other members of the
party are won't to term :Pease's first ar
rest" and which, they hold to be pro-
phetic of the election-a direct argu-
ment in favor Of Pease's success this
fall. While out among the birds, a
covey of fowls were startled from a cool
retreat in an adjoining tree claim, and
with a clatter and whirr of wings, started
away to a place Of safety. Ere they had
gone a great distance, a circling hawk
espied them, and with swoop through
the air, pounced upon one of the birds
and bore. it off to a convenient rock,
where he sat down and rested. Pease
was a witness of the occurrence, and
with a desire to protect the weak from
the strong, as becomes such an official
as he is abont to be, started off after the
hawk. When within shooting distance,
the hawk arose, and Pease took a turn
at it with his 12-guage, with such ac-
curate aim that the hawk fell, Autter-
ing, and the chicken, released from it's
clutches, scared away in safety. MI.
Pease's friends designate the occurrence
as merely a sort of %allegorical precedent
evidencing his spirit of justice.
The members of the party left for the
east this afternoon, for a fishing excur-
sion among the Minnesota lakes.

An Unpleasant Experience,

Orr Sanders had a rather unpleasant
experience with a charge of No. 8 shot
Sunday. He was out hunting with J.
D. Wakeman. and the two we're hunting
a tree claim, Wakeman on the inside and
Sanders along the edge. A chicken
arose from the brush, and Wakeman let
fly att, Sanders happening to be direct
ly in the path of the charge of shot, and
about 100 feet away. One of the shot
struck him just over the eye, causing
him to bleed p%rofusely, and raising a
lump about the size of a hens egg. He
vas struck also in the arm and leg, sew
eral of the shot piercing the skin, and
having to be dug out with a knife.
Sanders wasn't seriously hurt, although
some of the pellets of lead stung IN
comfortably, and he is glad he wasn't
closer to the end of Wakeman's gun.

Saturday night he became weary of his

degrees. The mean last year was Sc de-
grees, a deficiency Of 8 degrees. From a
comparison by months, it appears that
the greatest departure in 1898 war dur
ing February and March, the mean be-
ing 8 degrees deficient in each of these
months, while in June and September
there was a slight excess. During the
crop CT growing season, or from April to
September, inclusive, the normal is SO
degrees, as against 10 degrees from Oc-
tober to March, inclusive. Comparing
the temperature for 1898 with this, it is
found that for the former period there
was a deficiency of l degree, and for the
latter period, 5 degrees. Almost the en-
tire deficiency occurred during the cold
season, SO that as far as the crop season
is concerned, the average amount of
heat was received.
The rainfall for the year amounted to
1885 inches, while the normal is 1923, a
deficiency of " an inch.
