One Man Is Dead and Two Seriously
Wounded.
Omaha, July 31.-A special to the Bee
from TecI mseh, Neb., says: AS the re-
suit of bloody shooting ARRAY which
took place just over the line of Pawnee
county, and fourteen miles south of this
city to-day, two men are now dead and
two seriously wounded. Charles Schultz,
a rich German farmer With his two sons,
Charles and FRANK, live neighboripg
James Abbott, well-to-do and respected
farmer. The neighlars had lately had n
good deal of trouble on account of Alb
bolt allowing his hogs to run Mt large
and tres pass the fields of Schultz. For
bearance ceased to be virtue, and this
morning the elder Schultz with his son
Charles, loaded ,louble-barreled shot
gun and started en- the warpath for Alb
bott's porkers. Abbott caught OIL to the
maneuvers and as the men came toward
his hog lot he advanced to protect his
property. Young Schultz was carrying
the gun at the time, and at the sight of
his erring neighbor, the old man ex-
claimed: There is the - - -
himself; give him the load" whereupon
young Schultz enptied both barrels of the
gun at Abbott, one charge hitting him,
and thirty-seven No. shot entered his
left side and hip. Abbott was brought
to this city in dying condition and
Sheriff Stone of Pawr ee notified. The
sheriff and half-dezen deputies imn"-
liately departed to arrest the Schultz
men, who tried to escape The old man
vas shot through the back and head
His son Charles was shot in the shoul-
der but escaped to the woods Frank
was captured and brought to this city.
The elder SscultZ was removed to Stein

MELANcHTON,s RARE OLD

was presented to him by an admirer
during the Diet at Augsburg. Nothing
more unique exists In this line. IL Is
ball-shaped and four and 0ne-half inch
es In diameter. The three little gold
feet attached to the lower half OF the
case served as pedestals when 1t was
used as ''standuhr" on MelanchthOn's
table.
There was no glass to protect the
dial and the movement is entirely of
iron. 1t is plain and coarse-four small
wheels, a spiral spring turning to the
left, and only one hand to indicate the
hours. The case itself Is heavily gold
plated and tastefully engraved. Both
parts of the case can be opened; under
the upper cover the dial Is revealed

This is perhaps one Of the first time
pieces intended to be carried on the
person. In the beginning Of the six
teenth century the first watches were
made. The inventor, Peter Henlein,
died Nov. 16, 1912. The watches were
then nicknamed Nuernberger eier (Nu-
ernberg eggs.) Specimens Of these are
now so scarce and valuable that ut an
auction Of antiquities in Paris watch
made by Peter Henlein brought Il, 450

Mr.. Chamberlain, followed the instruc-

ditions and failed to secure even light
dew. During the early part of the season
the weather was so cold that it furnished
an excuse for failure, but later every con-
dition laid down by Jewell as necessary
to success has been perfectly fulfilled,
and yet the manufacture of gas according
to his instructions produced no rain

The BuIlrush Caterpillar.

it in either vegetable or animal king
dom. In New Zealand it is called
''aweto," and the scientific name of the
fungus growth ON the caterpillar is
CordiceDs Robertii. This combination
of plant. and animal is probably the
most remarkable known, as the plant
kills and takes possession of the AMI
NAL. The animal is the foundation
from which it rears its stem and is the
only source from which it derives its
support. 1t certainly forms a most sur
prising link between the animal and
the vegetable kingdom. The aweto is
chiefly found at the root of the rata
(metrosideres robusta). The plant in
every instance exactly fills the body
of the caterpillar. In the finest speci-
mems it attains the length Of IL
inches, and the stem which terminates
from this metamorpkosed body is from
to 10 inches high; it's apex, when in
state of qualification, rese nbles tine
clubheaded bullrush in miniature. There
are no leaves; solitary stem comprises
the entire plant, and if any accident
breaks it off second arises from the
same spot. The body is found buried,
and the greater part of the stalk as
well. When the plant has attained its
maturity it soon dies away. These
curios plants, when fresh, have the fla
vor of nut. The natives eat them,
and likewise use them when burnt as
coloring matter for their tattooing, rub.
bing the powder into the wounds, in
which state it has a strong animal
smell When newly dug up the sub
stance of the caterpillar is soft, and,
being divided longitudinally, the in
testinc channel is distinctly seen. Most
specimens possess the legs entire, with
the horny part of the head, the mandi-
bIes and claws. The negotiating pro-
cess invariably proceeds from the nape
of the neck, from which 1t may be
| inferred that the insect in crawling to
the place where it inhumes itself prior
to it's metamorphosis, whilst burrowing
| in the vegetable soil, gets some of the
minute seeds of this fungus between
the scales Of it's neck, from which, in
| it's sickening state, it is unable to free
| itself, and, consequently, being nour-
| ished by the warmth and moisture of
1 the insects body, then lying in mo-
tionless state, they vegetate and not
only impede the progress of change
| into the chrysalis, but likewise occasion
the death of the insect. That this vege-
tating process thus commences during
the lifetime of the insect appears GER
tain from the fact of the caterpillar,
1 when converted into plant, always
preserving its perfect form. In no
one instance has decomposition ap=
reared to have commenced or the skin

THE COUNTY OF NELSON.

ST. Paul, Special-Gov. Nelson has
issued proclamation to the people of
Polk county authorizing them to vote at
the next general election upon the ques-
ton of creating q new county to be
called Nelson. The area Of the new coun.
ty is 432 square miles. 1t has popu.
lation of $4,000 and embraces twelve
townships. The number of signers to the
petition mentioned was 925. Aside from
Nelson, petitions have been received for
the creation of three other counties
Nash, Red Lake and Coli mbia. The last
named embraces all the territory
described in the last proclamation as the
confines of Nelson, together with two
other townships. Those who signed the
petition for the creation Of Columbia
county have already named Mcintosh as
the prospective county seat. The sign
ers Of the Nelson county petition desire
that Fosston be made the county seat
With this state of affairs the chance of a
red hot campaign and election are good.

Swimming for Girls.

Mrs, Ysnaga Ia q New York society
woman who believes In swimming as
q means of health and grace. AS Mrs.
Ysnaga Is an acknowledged beauty,
with a supple, willowy form, and arms
that are as strong as an athletes,
though white and shapely, her opinions
go a good way with girls who wish to
be beautiful through judicious use OF
athletics. That swimming is develop
er of muscle has often been demon
strated. In fact, the best known
women teachers of swimming any
where in this vicinity say they have
had many inyalids sent them by physi-
clans who believe in the salt water
treatment for dyspepsia and nervous
troubles. There seems to be no doubt
that every one can learn to swim, and,
as an advocate of this water sport
SAYS: eff swimming were great lux
ury only to be acquired with difficulty
and great expense, more people would
make an effort to obtain the benefit of
it, In England the rivers are turned
into Fairgrounds, for English girls fish
and sail, row and swim with earnest
enjoyment. 1t is better to learn to
swim without q skirt, as this garment
clings about the legs in the water and
prevents freedom of motion. A suit
recommended by an expert consists of
regulation equestrian tights, a short
sleeved blouse and short divided skirt
Black union garments with feet are
also used for the foundation garment,
with short outside skirt. The stroke
which Mrs. Ysnaga prefers is a long,
even chest stroke, the head and shout
ders being kept well out of the water.
She herself has accomplished many
feats by this manner of swimming.
Some teachers give the pupil her first
Ii sson on n table; others go into the
water with each beginner, supporting
ler with ore hand under the chest
While the other rests lightly upon her
back. Swimming is one of the best
methods Of exercising every muscle i'll
the body, and is becoming each season
more popular among physical culturists
from the grace and beauty it im,,arts,
as well as health and strength.

special report on the extraordinary hot

portion of the country:
"An abnormally low barometric condi-

area throughout which the temperature
this afternoon Thursday exceeded 100
degrees embraces the states of South

half of Minnesota, Western Wisconsin
and northern part of Illinois. Throughout
the entire Mississippi valley, Ohio val
