Governor O'Ferrall has issued q proc
lamation offering reward Of 5000 for
the arrest of David Kelley, white man,
who is described as being about rs years
old, feet inches high, weighs 100
pounds, stoops slightly, fair skin, light
blue or gray eyes and who has flesh
scar under his right oye. 1t is thought
that this man is the person who com
mitted the outrage on Miss Mary Pier
son near Eagle Rock, Botetourt county.
May 5.
DodsoD, the man who was arrested for
the terrible crime, is still in the Roa-
noke city jail. and will probably not be
taken to Fincastle for trial until the
next term of the Botetourt county court.
Tho feeling is growing that Dodson is
innocent. He probably will not, how
ever, be released but will moro likely
be sent to West Virginia. where, &C
cording to his own story, he is wanted
for larceny.

He Was Fond of Celery.

If celery is the nerve bracer that some
are disposed to consider it, there is one
man in Philadelphia who is in no danger
of nervous prostration. A gray bearded,
brown wigged, mild eyed, middle aged,
imperturbable little old man walked Sc
dately into we'll known Chestnut street
cafe the other night, DOTTED his hat and
coat, sat down to table, tucked nap
kin under his chin, drank the whole Of
glass of ice water placed before him
by the waiter and said, Bring me an
order of celery, all white and clean"
Fright, sir" said the waiter hesitating-
ly. That's ALL" murmured the little
old man as he pushed out his glass for a
fresh supply of water.
The celery came, the little man quick
ly devoured that; called for another or
der, devoured that; called for another
order and made that disappear, and SO
on till all the walters, all the oyster open
eners, all the attendants, the cashier and
customers were beholding him in aston
ishment. AS the last bit of the succu-
lent vegetable disappeared the waiter
turned over the little mans check,
amounting to 80 cents. All unconscious
of the furore he had created, the cham
pion celery eater pulled on his overcoat,
carefully adjusted his hat, gave the
waiter dime, pulled on his gloves, paid
his check at the desk, lighted cigar,
said "Celery's not much good yet" and
walked ut.-Philadelphia Record.

A FataIist. but Cautious.

Most men who profess belief in des-
tiny and an Indifference to fate, when
brought face to face with a danger or
placed in desperate situation, seek to
avoid rather than embrace the inevita-
BILE result of the event regarding which
they have held such philosophical opin-
ions.
A case in point is related by traveller
returning from the south and hinges up
on the experiences of a minister of the
foreordination school of belief on Mis-
sissippi steamer in the good old fashioned
days of river racing, when a negro sat
on the safety valve and the furniture
and woodwork of the boat fed the fire.
The captain, seeing rival boat half a
mile ahead, began to curse in true old
time style and ordered tar pine knots,
naval stores, bacon, etc., to be thrown
in to hndle the fire as hot as possible.
As the steam got higher and higher and
the old boat trembled and groaned I'M
der the pressure, the preacher drew
nearer and nearer to the stern.
Noticing this, and never losing an OPP
portunity to crack joke, the bluff cap
tain tapped the fatalist on the shoulder
and said: 'Hello, Brother Blank, what's
ailing you? l thought you was one of
them fellows what believes what is to
happen will happen no how"
80 1 do" replied the clergyman, draw
ing himself up. $50 do, but 1 want to
be as near the stern as possible when it
does happen. York Herald.

Gravity and Impetus.

A proposition which provoked great
deal of argument and upon which much
paper was wasted and the laws of gray
ity and impetus sadly mangled was the
one about the result of dropping leaden
stone from the top of the mast of rap
idly moving vessel. The theorists got
hold of the subject and straightway APP
piled their best known rules and maxims
to the problem. Some demonstrated that
the weight would fall straight down, and
while it was falling the ship would pass
from under it and it would fall some
where astern, or perhaps hit the man at
the wheel. Others held that it would
fall few feet from the mast, and yet
others that it would plump down right
at the foot. This problem was solved in
the usual way by one who was not a the
orist, but who could climb mast, which
he did forthwith, and dropping the
weight found that it took theimpetus of
the vessel and fell right at the foot of the
mast, exactly as it would have done had
the vessel been standing perfectly STILL

RUN THE GANTLET OF SOUTH ENID.
Rock island Trainmen Defy the Town On1-
GERS and Refuse to Slow Up.

Rock Island Ira1nmen DeIy Gne Town Ouf-
| GERS and Refuse to Slow Up.
The city officials of South Enid, in the
| Cherokee strip, are making life burden
some to Rock Island trainmen. George
Davis, Missouri Pacific official, who re-
turned here today, tells remarkable
story about the two Ends and the trou-
BILE Rock Island trainmen experience in
getting their trains through the south
town. South Enid is the town established
by the government, while North Enid, a
mile or so away, is Cherokee allotment
town, in which the Rock Island has an
interest. There is a depot at North Enid
where the trains stop. Passengers for
South Enid disembark there and go the
balance of the way in hacks.
South Enid is a booming town, and
it's legislators, full g. their new power,
make ordinances to Cover all the exigen.
cies of life in brand new town. They
have been greatly worried at the lack of
proper railroad facilities, and to move
the company they recently passed an Or
dinance compelling it to run it's trains
through the town at speed not greater
than four miles an hour under penalty
of a fine not less than 81 900 for each Of
Tense.
In describing the condition of things
at South Enid, Davis said: ''At the out
skirts of the town the authorities have
stationed man with flag, and when
train approaches he lowers the flag and
man at the other end of the town sets
his stop watch and times the train. Be
fore starting his train through the town
the engineer cuts off the airbrakes, and
the company has an officer on every plat
form to prevent the townspeople from
jumping on the train and setting the
handbrakes. Four officers with stars
affixed to their coats board every train
as it goes through town in an endeavor
to serve papers on the conductor while
he is within the city limits.
Before the train gets within the town
limits, however, the conductor always
gets in the express car and is protected
by the express messengers with their
winchesters from any interference from
the men with the papers. The company
has informed the conductors that if any
of them are arrested the company will
stand by them and see that they do not
languish too long in the calaboose. The
calaboose at South Enid is frail struc-
ture that a fairly strong boy could break
out of and would not confne railroad
man very long were it not for the fact
that sunk in the dirt floor is big log to
which malefactors are chained. 1t is
difficult to predict what the outcome
will be should the town legislators of
South Enid succeed in corralling Rock
Island railroad trainman.-Topeka Dis

A JAPANESE LAWN GAME.
1t Is Known as Tema and Is a Modified
Form of Our Polo,

VI OuT iOiO.
Tema is the name given to new lawn
game. 1t has been adapted to play on
foot from the Japanese form of polo
called alphabetically striking balls"
This game is played on ponies in a rec
tangular Enclosure rallied in by a stnpt
bamboo post and rail fence about four
feet high, except at one end, where
boarded fence or screen about eight feet
high replaces the post and rail.
In the center of this screen is a circu-
lar hole about 18 inches in diameter, be-
hind which is fixed a Melted bag rather
longer than an ordinary landing net.
This is the goal. Eighteen feet in front
of this goal screen another post and rail
fence is fixed across the Enclosure. This
is the goal barrier, which prevents the
players from getting any nearer to the
goal. At the other end attendants stand
with supply of balls and rackets.
The number of players is generally
seven side, but sometimes fewer. Each
side wears distinctive badge, generally
white and red. The balls are also of two
colors, white and red, and are unlimited
in number. The object Of the game is
for the white players to sling white balls
and the red players red balls into the
goal. When either side has put seven
balls into the goal net, it reaches the
second stage of the game. 1t has then
to play with single ball, white or red,
as the case may be, with black zone or
some other distinguishing mark upon it,
The side which first succeeds in scor-
ing it's zoned ball wins the game The
racket, or wand, as it has been called,
used for singing and carrying the ball,
has a light bamboo handle some feet
inches long. At the thinner end a
crook of split bamboo is fixed. Across
this crook loose silk net is fixed, thus
forming a shallow spoon or scoop. Some
dexterity is required in picking up the
ball and retaining it in the crook. To
do this successfully the wand must be
continually kept in motion.
The lawn game is of course played on
foot instead of on horseback. The in
closure is reduced to about the dimen-
sions of lawn tennis court. The wands
are the same as those used in the Japa-
nese game, and the balls are of the same
weight. A more sociable lawn game can
hardly be imagined, and as there is plen-
ty of exercise it can be played at all
times of the year when the ground is not
too wet.-''Things Japanese"

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inven-
tons and improvements in the arts and sci
ences generally was so great as now. The
conveniences of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual acces-
siOns to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time aud ex-
pense. The political change in the admin
istration of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the af-
fairs OF government to deter him from
quickly cOpceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumcrable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the "No patent, no pay" system. Invent
OrS who entruSt their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,

Our foreign consuls quite frequently
send home curious and interesting &C.
counts of the things which come under
their observation while in line of duty.
These articles, valuable from several
points of view, are never seen by one in
each 10000 of our population, because
the documents in which they appear, be-
ing classed with other government
publications" are seldom consulted.
In this way much that is interesting
and valuable to the scientist and general
reader is overlooked. For an instance,
the descriptions of the curious vegetation
of China, especially the ''tallow tree"
This tree is the Stillingia sebifera of the
botanist, the root of which produces oil,
the bark the famous "rice paper" and
the berries tallow. The greasy berries
are of light scarlet and resemble those
of the coffee of commerce, both in size
and color. In preparing the tallow the
beans or berries are first steamed and
then pounded in order to separate the
mesocarp from the kernels.
This pulp is then placed in bamboo
seine and the mealy portions separated
from the hulls, the tallowy substance
having the oil expressed from it in large,
primitive wooden presses, while the chatf
or hulls are converted into fuel. The oil
thus obtained is used for oil stoves, light
ing purposes, etc. The whole tree from
root to leaf is surcharged with oleaginous
matter, and broken limbs and abrasions
in the bark have been known to exude
pure oil for days in succession.-St. Louis
