GONE WRONG, IT IS FEARED.

A young lady by the name of
Miss Nolan, who has been lately in
the employ of the family of Mr. Jesse
Moore, near College Hill, has very
mysteriously disappeared within the
past few days, and much interest is
manifested in the matter by the
people at College Heights. The
lady in question is about sixteen
years of age, rather prepossessing
n appearance, intellectual to a de-
gree that makes her a favorite COM
panion among those with whom she
comes in contact, and was looked
upon as an ornament in the social
circle in which she moved. Promise
of marriage and betrayal is the Sc
luel to the matter, so it is strong
ly intimated, and although 1t
IS generally supposed that the lady
has been spirited away for the
present, to hide the shame attach
ed to her folly, the party respon-
5ible for her disgrace will
undoubtedly be called be-
fore the public, in a case
before the courts, before the unfor-
tunate affair meets with a final set
tlement, Hanging is too good for a
brute guilty of such a crime.
Pity 'tis, It's pity but she loved
not wisely but too well, and now
must bear the shame of her indis-
cretiOn.

THE WACO HORROR.

Waco, Tex, Oct, 4,-Charlie
Briggs and W, B, Ford, two linemen
were engaged this morning in
stringing a telephone wire along
Jackson street. Charlie Briggs was
at the top of pole attaching the
wire to an insulator, and further
down the street W, B. Moore was
making arrangements to begin
work on another pole, The new
telephone wire was being strung
above the incandescent wires of the
electric company, and in some way
the telephone wire became slack and
dropped low across South Fourth
street, At this iuucture Ernest
Geble came down fourth street driv-
a large mare in buggy, the pro-
perty of j. H. Maxwell, superntend-
ent of the gas works, Neither
Geble nor the mare observed the
wire, and against it she went at a
trot, 1t was at that instant that
the contract is believed to have oc-

ter of which was tightly drawn
across the breast of the mare and
in the hands of Lineman Charles
Briggs. The mare fell dead in her
tracks and at the same instant
Briggs leaped perpcndicularly up
ward, rising two feet above the top
most cross-arm and turning nearly
somersault, fell until his climbing
spur caught in the wires, from
which he dangled, head downward,
blue flames appearing in tongues
from his body and smoke issuing
from his hair and clothing, while
blood poured down as if all the ar
teries inhis body we're served.
The scene of this tradegy was in
front of the establishment of the
Rotan grocery company, The pro-
prietors and employees of the estab-
lishment rushed out and passersby
halted. For a moment everybody
in sight was paralyzed with horror
but the cry of 'save the lineman"
arose.. and there was a rush for the
pole. A salesman threw out new
tent fly from the warehouse, and
This was stretched by twenty men
and held perpendicularly beneath
the writhing, bleeding, smoking and
flaming man, hanging by his heel,
close to the lower cross-arm. The
other lineman ran up the pole, and
with his nippres cut the wire upon
which his comrades climbing-spur
was caught, and the blackened,
bleeding form tumbled headlong in
to the canvas. His heart was beat
ing family when he was lowered to
the ground, and a second or two
later, with grasp and shudder, he
died, never having spoken after re-

A BOSTON LAMP TRIMMER ELECTROCUT-

Boston, Mass, Oct. A horrible
case of elecution was witnessed on
Congress street by hundreds of peo-
pie today. Chas, e. Day, a lamp
trimmer in the employ of the Bos-
ton electric company, was cleaning
a lamp and had hitched himself to
the top of the pole, when attention
was called to him by a faint cry.
Day was seen to be helpless and un-
conscious, In few seconds he was
limp and blue flame was emitting
from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
Several of the onlookers tried to
get up the pole and one young man
succeeded in touching the body, but
he dropped to the ground, receiving
painful injuries. A. ]. Maumes
started up the pole and reached
Days body, when he received
shock and fell thirty feet to the
ground, striking on his head and
fracturing his skull He died short
ly afterward 1t was more than
half an hour before Days body,
now terrible burned was lowered
to the ground and taken to the

FArrEN1Na STEERS FOR MARKET.

In bulletin No. SO of the Kansas
Station the results T published of
experiments in fattening two classes
of steers for market, the experiment
extending ove two years. One class
was fed out of doors without much
protection from Indictment weather,
while the other lot was fed indoors
and given all the protection possible.
One lot was fed in a yard with a shed
closed on three sides, but open on the
south side, and the others were tied
up in the stables. About the same
amount Of feed was given to both sets,
although those out of doors were sub
divided into other lots, and various
kinds of food we're fed to ascertain as
we'll the best winter food. The results
of this feeding seemed to show that
while cattle needed protection in the
winter they did not require to be shut
up SO close. They grew fretful and
needed exercise. The animals that
were exposed to the cold gained as
fast, but ct q heavier expense, as they
demand more food. The directors
concluded that cattle in the winter
should have good protection from bad
weather, but also exercise In the open
air on good days. IF they are to be
kept in the stables they should be in
troduced gradually, or they will lose
flesh for the first few weeks.

German Way to Dry Wood.

A German procession drying woods
has been tried, and with some success,
by a firm of Canadian lumbermen. 1t
consists briefly in placing the timber
for twelve days in chambers heated by
steam and then in another room to dry.
The plan, it is said, entirely gets rid
of sap. and has been found more eff
cacious with juicy woods like beach
aud birch. 1t is certainly the case
that timber prepared by this means is
largely used in Germany, and particu-
larly in Bavaria. Al the same time it
is stated that this artificial seasoning
is not nearly SO eficacious as that pro
duced by natural means Woods thus
forced into maturity are apt later on
both to warp and to rot. The con.
structors of the German navy have, al
together declined to use wood SO pre-
pared. though it has been found USE
ful for fencing and other kinds OF
