Attacked by a Man Eating Shark.

Dennison, Tex, dispatch to the Globe
Democrat: VIM. Muller, an attorney
of this city, had an experience with a
man eating shark at Rockport, in the
Gulf. Mr.. Muller, who was brought
home today, related the following:
Il hired a small sailboat, and we
were out some distar ce from land, when
| baited my hook and cast it out. /
used new clothesline, 100 to 100 feet
long, for cord, and the hook was quite
large, probably to 7inches long. |
felt jerk, and in an instant the line
was under the boats rudder. asked
the boatman to reverse sail, in order
that the line could be cleared. Twas
oblivious to all except the big fish, and
as the boom swung around it struck me
on the back between the shoulders.
was tumbled overheard, head foremost,
in the water, some forty or forty five
feet deep. AS struck the water the
fish that | had caught, a man eating
shark, laid hold of the calf of my right
leg. The pain was fearful, and felt
myself jerked rapidly down toward the
bottom of the sea. In the fall did
not relax my hold on the line, and as
soon as | realized my position, knew
that my life depended on my ability
to hold to the cord. The struggle |
know was not long, but to me it seemed
like an age. The cord was fastened TO
to beam in the boat, and inch by inch
| gained on my antagonist, and as soon
as appeared on the surface the boat
man came to my assistance. The shark
retained its grip on my leg until my
body was entirely out of the water, and
even then it did not let go until the
boatman knocked it off with an oar.
When | was safely on the inside, how
ever, we pulled for the shore, and as
my hook was securely fastened in the
mouth of the shark no trouble was ex-
perienced in landing the fish. 1t was
between five and six feet long"
Mr.. Muller will probably be cripple
for life.

TIDE WELLS In THE WEST.
Indications That Kansas and Nebraska
Are Located Over a Sea.

The best scientists of the land favor
the opinion that Nebraska, Kansas and
parts of Indian Territory are situated
over an immense underground lake or
sea. 1t is we'll known fact that in
several places in Kansas whole sections
of land have suddenly disappeared,
leaving only fathomless lakelets to
mark the spot where they were once
situated. Proof that there are some
thing peculiar with the foundation of
the section of the country mentioned
may be found in the celebrated tide
wells" of Polk, Butler and Colfax
Counties in Nebraska. Polk County is
best provided with these curious wells,
having between dozen and twenty,
which roar and ebb and flow with an
unseen tide. The roaring of these re-
markable curiosities they can not be
called natural wonders, because they
are the work of man, at least SO far as
excavation is concerned, is caused by
the inhalation and exhalation of i'm
mense quantities of air. There are
hours, regular and uniform, in which
the air will rush out with u loud, hiss
ing sound, and again an equal space of
time in which it seems that all the air
of the Platte Valley will be sucked into
the cavernous depths of these wonder.
full wells. The period of this ebb and
flow does not seem to depend upon
either the seasons or the state of the
weather, but is thought to have some
mysterious connection with the high
and low tide periods of the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. A meteorologist
of national reputation who sought to
falhom the mystery of the "Platte River
tide wells" and who issued Il little
pamphlet with the title Roaring Wells
OF Nebraska" gave it as his opinion
that the roaring phenomenon was in
some way connected with the prevail
ing direction of the wind, being strong.
est in time of west or southwest breezes.
The farmers in the three counties men.
toned as being best provided with
these tide regulating, air expelling
wells, believe that the water supply is
connected with body large enough to
have a regular ebb and flow of tide.
All the wells in the counties of Polk
and Butler which are tide regulated
are about the same depth, those of Col
fax being deeper, but all extending to a
porous stratum having the same gen.
eral charac teristics.

She Had Pluck.

Mrs. j. Wilson of 311S dearborn street
made one of the neatest catches on rec
ord at an early hour the other morning.
Mrs. Wilson had just returned from a
party and was sitting in her room, with
the light turned down, when she heard
a noise close to her window. Slightly
turning her head, she saw a pair of
huge feet incased in tan shoes hanging
from the roof of the house. Without
saying word Mrs. Wilson hid herself
behind the curtains and waited for the
owner of the feet to make his appear
ance. She had not long to wait, for sud =
denly the window was opened, and a
black head was showed in. This was
what Mrs. Wilson was waiting for.
Quickly seizing the sash, she brought it
down on the intended burglars head,
pinning him securely between the sash
and the sill. She then dispatched her
daughter for an officer, who placed the
fellow under arrest. Chicago Dispatch.

Wilson Tariff VS., Trust Tariff.

The Wilson tariff would have given
the country free coal, free wool, free
lumber, free ore, and free sugar, besides
saving to consumers many millions of
tariff taxation on manufactured pro-
ducts. 1t would have placed manufac-
turers on footing in foreign markets
with foreign manufacturers without
necessitating reduction of wages in
this country. 1t would have been q
tariff imposed without discrimination,
and was entirely free from the influ-
ence of trusts. And it would have
also been tariff more nearly in &C.
cordance with the demands of the public
than any other tariff schedule ever pre-
Sented to Congress.
The trust tariff now in the hands of
the Senate is compromise between
surrender of honesty and desire to
hoodwink the public. All its important
schedules have been doctored by trusts
and sanctioned by Senators of both
political parties; and while now and
then there are apparent attempts at re.
form, most of the bill is false to Demo-
cratic pledges and contrary to Demo-
cratic principles.
The Mckinley law went before the
country as measure framed openly.
boldly, and without concealmen in the
interest of manufacturers, and through
its workings powerful trusts have been
organized to control future legislation.
The trust bill in its present form is the
result of secret agreement between op.
posing political Senators and trust ex-
pert advisers, and with its foul burden
Of scandal the Democratic party is ex-
pected to father it. 1t is to be thrust
on the public as Democratic measure
without the redeeming quality of Demo-
cratic principles, and unless the Ameri-
can people have lost their spirit of just
ness the trust bill will be repudiated
along with the men who are responsible
for its creation. Let the people decide
if this country is to have an honest tar
if framed in the interests of the people
or a trust tariff created by secret agree
ment and burdened with scandalous
reports of bargain and sale.-New York

Phil Sberidan's Shoes.

A good story Of Gen. Sheridan was
told Boston Herald man the other day
by Mexican, an intimate friend of
the great Northern soldier in his life
time. One day, calling ON the COM
mander of the army at his office in
Washington, he found him at his desk,
his feet encased in slippers and his
shoes democratically placed on the
top of his desk. While the General
was apparently absorbed in some writ
ing, the Mexican gentleman, who
thought some servant had left the war
rior's shoes in the wrong place, took
his cane and gently deposited the shoes
on the foor. The next day the Mexi-
can called again on Sheridan and found
him at his desk, shoes on top as before.
The polite resident of the tropics began
once more removing the shoes to the
floor, when all at once Sheridan roared
out:
Don't you do that again, sir You
make me ridiculous, sir"
III bag your pardon, General, but
how have l made you ridiculous?
why, sir" said Sheridan, still an
noyed, yesterday, sir, / went out to
walk after you had called on me.

noticed a gentleman looking at me in
tently. Soon he addressed me, saying:
Excuse me, General, but aren't you
afraid of catching cold?' why, sir,
no, not that l know of; what's the
matter, sir?" WELL" said the gentle
man, it is very damp and you are 60
ing about in your slippers tell you,
SIR" said Sheridan addressing his
Mexican friend, you nrade me ridicu-
lous. 1t is my habit, sir, to put my
shoes on my desk, where can not fail
to see them, so l may not forget to put
them on, aud, confound it sir, you
