One of the first questions asked by County Physician Wilder when the body of Dallas Stowe, the negro, was found hanging by a grapevine in the woods near town was, Where's his
 jackf" At this question the negro audience fell back, as if getting away from a bomb that was about to ex- plode. What do you mean by his jackl' asked one of the white men present, land why this commotion T ''Wait, and I will show you. said the doctor.
 He then felt in the pockets of the dead negro and brought out a tin box. He opened it, and it was found to contain a snakes head. a scorpion, a piece of iron, a rusty key, bunch of ''witch's yarn" and an ounce of salt. This, said the doctor, is the jack. Eight out of ten negroes car- " them. With it they 'conjure their enemies, throw a spell over them, and the average negro holds the jack in mortal dread. To show you their fear of it, just offer any ne gro here a dollar to put this box in his pocket The offer was made, but no one would touch it. Dr. VII der brought the box to the city and tried the darhes on it, but not one of them could be induced to touch it. Charlotte (N. O News.

A DEBRIS VITALITY.
After Being Mortally Wounded He wni
 Travel Long Distance.

Travel Q Long Distance.
 My lsother and I said a hunter of S0corro. N. M.. were hunting one day in tho Gallo mountains. We had seen several deer, but had not killed anything, although we had shot at and wounded several. B. the way, a deer may be very badly wounded and go 9 long distance, and a deer with one leg broken will trav. elalmost Gs well Ss though there were nothing the matter with him.
 We were hunting on the side of the mountain in the thick pine hm Der and had stopped at tho edge of a deep gUlch. or canyon, when l saw big fellow on the other side under the thlck boughso of Q pinion tree. IL was long shot-probably between zoo and 500 yards-but l thought l would try for him at any rate Raising my sight for 100 yards. ] took careful ann through the forks If a cedar tree and fired. but missed him. fired four shots, dropping him with the last. afterward found that the first three shots had struck a limb just above him. As l was well hidden by the dropping branches of the tree under which stood, the deer had in all probability been unable to locate the point from which the shots came. Strange as it may seem, deer will not run until lt locates the position of its enemy.
 As soon as he fell my brother and 1 ran across the canyon to him. leaned my gun against a tree, took out my knife and sat down across his fore shoulders, intending to cut bis throat. Just as 1 touched him with the knife he sprang to his feet, knocking me over, and started down the hill As l fell l grabbed him by one of his hind legs and hung on like a leech. He dragged me about co yards, when l was obliged to let go. When he got loose, he ran down to the foot of the mountain, crossed the narrow valley at the bottom and started off up the slope, leaving q trail of blood behind him. Ihad left my gun above and had to go back for It. By the time I got it he was out of sight in the thick growth ol the other side. l had shot him through the body. but l must have rrailed him three or four miles by the blood before l came up with him. To ward the last l could see by the trail that he was growing weak, for he would lie down about every 100 yards. Supposed he would hear me as I came through the brush and make another effort to get away. When I came up with him at last, he was standing under a tree in a little open space. Although he was evidently very nearly dead, l gave him another shot, dropping him in his tracks. "-Phila. delphia Press.

IhecitizenS of be camp as we'll as many from the surround ing country were present on the occasion. although no ! previous notice had been given Of the exact date of Mir. Clark's arrival.

One lady underestimate her strength and gave such terrific blow with the hammer, that she came very nearly sending the spike home and leaving no opportunity for others to give IL tap.
 After the eopper-gold-silver spike had been securely imbedded in the tie. Mr. Clark delivered a very eloquent and felieitous address to those present. He was followed by other speakers after which the com pany adjourned to the company's dining roam where refreshments were served. The occasion proved very interesting and pleasant one for the camp.

EVOLUTION OF NIAGARA.
The Estimates as to the Age of the World
Famous Cataract.

The Estimates as to the Age of the World
Famous Cataract.
Professor J. w. Spencer says the first
conjecture as to the age Of Niagara falls
was made by Andrew Ellicott in 1890.
Ellicott believed the falls to be 80, 900
years old. About 1871 Lyle estimated
the age Of the falls as 30 eco years. All
of these early estimates We're purely con-
lecture, but they were correct in assum-
ing that the gorge had been excavated
by the river. Professor Spencer, in out
lining the progress of the falls, says
that little stream draining the Erie
basin once fell about 900 feet above the
brow of the Niagara escarpment. This
stream was not over one-fourth the vol
ume of the recent cataract and conse-
quently excavated the gorge at much
slower rate than at present.
During the early history Of the river
the waters Of the three upper lakes
emptied through the Huron basin by
way of the Ottawa river. The height of
the falls has increased several times.
The first episode, represented by small
river falling eco feet, lasted about II,
600 years. Then the height of the falls
was increased to 400 feet and took the
drainage Of the upper great lakes. At the
same timo there was a series Of cas-
cades, three in all, the lower gaining On
the upper until finally they We're all
united in one greaG cataract much high
er than that Of today.
Subsequently, the waters were raised
at the head Of Lake Ontario, and the
falls approximated to the present condi-
tions after a lapse of 1000 years from
the end of the first episode. The age of
the present falls is put at 1000 years,
and another 1000 years was probably
occupied by transitional changes Of a
very gradual character. 1t is now 8, eco
years since Lake Huron emptied into
Lake Erie for the first time. The land
has risen about the outlet of Lake Erie,
and if the present rate OF change contin-
ues in 5000 or 6, coo years the waters Of
the four upper lakes Will be turned into
the Mississippi river drainage at Chi
cago -Pittsburg Dispatch.
