CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-Desperadoes VIII
Lake and II. F. German. who shot and
killed Patrick Owens Of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad at Deerfield
last night and a few hours later shot
and probably fatally wounded officer Nc
Grath at Mayfair. were surrounded and
captured by police in the Elk grove
woods near the Desplaines river at noon
today
Their capture was only effected after
a six hours chase and the exchange Of
fully 100 shots. The desperadoes fought
off the blue coats and excited civilian par
ticipators in the man hunt, until their
ammunition was exhausted, and then I'M
able longer to reply to the fire that was
poured in upon their retreat, the men
sought safety in flight Bullets from the
officers revolvers brought both men to
the earth and when the police appre-
hended their game the mex were weak
from loss of blood.
Officers Mullaney, Finnegan, Hays,
Maisley and Lawson, who had been
among the first posse to start out after
the fleeing desperadoes, were the officers
who forced the surrender Of the bandits
As soon as the wounded men We're
taken in charge by the police new dam
ger arose. The infatuated citizens, who
had learned Of the wanton murder of one
officer and the fatal shooting Of another
by the desperadoes. demanded that the
wounded men be Immediately deprived Of
their lives. The officers were forced to
draw their revolvers 20 save the very
men into whom a few moments
before they had poured lead. The crowds
made desperate attempts to get the ban
dts from the police. but each time they
were repused without bloodshed. Police
Inspector Setback took charge of the
prisoners and started at once for the
w. ChIcago-ave. station with them.

stone Park. Wyo.. Aug. 23.-At 2 o'clock

fifty feet of them, the water being
thrown over a radius of 200 feet square.
The water gradually formed into a col
umn and was raised fully $50 feet above
the earth. 1t played for three hours. One
tourist, Tournezo +. Anderson of St.

RICH RONDHOLDERS.

Names of These Favorites of Fortune
Kept Secret by the Treasury.
The millionaire is commonly repre-
scented as engaged in clipping coupons
from bonds. This is an egyregious
error. Rich men, as a rule, do not
bold coupon bonds. The reason is
quite obvious. Such bonds are not
safe property. They are always pay
able to bearer, Ike treasury notes. If
lost the government will not replace
them. Accord ngly, for the sake Of
security, people are constantly ex-
hanging them for registered bon6s
Thus the sum total of coupon bombs
outstanding, which is now about
SO, 900, OOJ, is all the time dim nshing.
They are mostly in the hands OF small
holders. With the regist .red bonds it
is quite different. They are rich mems
property par excellence. At present
about ,301, 00j. 900 worth of them are
held by private Individuals. OF this

But the Young Lady Did Not Know II
and There was Scene.
Those little patent affairs which
are the latest in toydom are destined
to create = great deal of excitement
along crowded city thoroughfares.
One day last week, for instance,
there was group of male pedestrians
gathered in close ranks with craned
neclSs about a fakir on a Chicago
street.
A .resh-faced. pretty girl in a big
hat and stylish wrap sailed jauntily
down the street, the embodiment of
brave and independent womanhood.
This dauntless young woman ell
bowed her way ahead through the
crowd and glanced casually at the
fakir with little supercilious smile,
which included the group of curious
loiterers.
Suddenly the group was ag;tated
and swayed in from the curb, and q
small dark object scurried across the
pavement.
'tO-w!"
A distinctly feminine scream smote
the circumambient ar AMI the brr ve
young woman. her eyes distended by
terror, grabbed at her skirts with
botE h&s as and sprang into the mid
die of the street, reclllcssly under the
very nose of a herdic horse. The
herdic driver said som eth ng emphatic;
the men on the pavement grinned;
the fallir dangled his patent gray
mouse and expatiated ON its resem-
blancc to the real thing, and the
young woman made a wide circuit of
the fal1ir's corner an l divei into the
crowd skurrying down Washing ton
street.

Restoration OF the Speech Of 4 Mute Child
who was Once Prepared For the Grave.

Restoration OF the Speech Of Mute Child
who was Oncs Prepared For the Grave.
After being mute for two years the
little 7.year-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. A. Brook of Vineland, through
seeing the blood flowing from cut on
one Of her fingers suddenly regained her
speech. The case is remarkable one
and has excited the interest Of physicians
and Of those who are acquainted with
the circumstances Of her affiictiop and
most remarkable recovery.
Two years ago the little girl, who
was then 8 years Of age, suddenly lost
her power Of speech. She was eating an
apple at the time and In some manner
dislocated ono OF her teeth She ran into
the house and threw herseh on the
lounge, with blood flowing from her
mouth. She refused to answer any ques-
tions, and the inquiries Of her astonished
parents only ELECTED sobs and moans
The next day the child was still mute
and also refused to pArtake Of any food
Her parents became alarmed, and ply
sicians were called in. They were nm
able to diagnose the strange malady.
and the child grew worse. Medical skill
was Of no avail, and she grew weak and
elnaciated. After several weeks the child
died apparently, and the doctors pro-
nounced her dead and left. Tho little
form was covered with a shroud and
preparations for the funeral begun,
when signs Of life were discovered in
the seeming corpse.
The girl sat up and with her fingers
made signs indicative Of her desire for
food. From that moment she began to
mend slowly and in the course Of a year
regained her former good health and
spirits. She was still, however, as silent
as a sphinx Nothing could induce heI
TO utter a word, and she continued IN
this condition until short time ago
She accidentally cut her finger while
playing one day, and the red blood
flowed from tho wound. Either tn.
sight or tho smell of the fluid seemed
10 have q strange effect upon the child
and that day marked tho turning poin'
In the history of the case. During tina
same night, while In bed, she startled
her sister by speaking her name quit
distinctly. She also uttered several 9th
er words very plainly. Since then sh'
has been improving daily and now cal
articulate quite plainly. -Philadelphil

JURY REFORM.
NIassaclnusetts Has n New Law Containing
Excellent Provisions.


Massaclnusetts Has New Law Containing
Excellent Provisions.
A new jury law has just gone into
operatio1 in Massachusetts, and some
of its provisions are manifestly SO good
that they might well be embodied in
the code of other states. For instance,
one seoticn reads, '"The board Of alder
men of any city shall not strike any
name from the jury list as prepared, ex.
cept Of person who has been convicted
of a crime and has not been pardoned on
the ground of his innocence OF SAID
crime, or Of person who is not quail
fed by law for service as q juror. " The
intention here was to do away with the
fayoritism by which men Of influence
were in the habit Of Kidding themselves
of the duty of serving on 5uries.
The penalty for violation OF the sec,
tion quoted is severe, it being provided
that Il any person is guilty Of fraud III
the drawing Of jurors, either by prac-
ticinE on the jury box previously TO Q
draft, or in drawing juror, Or ia re-
turning into the box the name Of a juror
which had been lawfully drawn ont
and drawing or substituting another IN
his stead, or in striking a name from
the Jury list, he shall be punished by q
fine not exceeding $500.
An additional official safeguard II
thrown around the selection OF Jurors
by the requirement that the mayor Of
any city shall be present at the drawing
and verify by personal inspection th(
result Of the ballots announced by the
alderman appointed for the purpose
The law was framed to counteract thu
corrupt influence that had previously
prevailed in the making up Of jurles II

order TO get better quality OF straw,
are cutting their oats while yet green

Potatoes, which ere very extensively

there is more than joke in that stuff

II men are to live together ct all, they
must learn TO eat crow as gracefully as
possible. They may not like It, 1t may

Of human events it frequently becomes

1t is right and proper for man tc
