did 50 and another man put in an ap-
pearance who was also armed. Both
desperadoeS took Mr.. Woodward into

these are not always clear. The safest
and pretIiest unobstructed street track
left is on Emporia from oak steet

become too much distracted with NOV

AN evil fate seems to have pursued
all identified with the ownership of
the Chicago Times. Although w.
F. Storey made fortune out of it,
his life was frought with peril and
unhappiness and he finally died an
imbecile. Hon. Carter H. Harrison
had barely become owner when he
fell by the assassin's hand; and now
j. w. Scott had just taken possession
when without warning he was
stricken down. The intermediate
periods in the Times history have
been characterized by anxiety on the
part of those interested in it, and
many sensational disclosures have
attended its course. Finally, after
the paper was moved out, the building
took fire as il the avenging angel
were determined to obliterate it.
The Herald. which possesses all the
merit of the hyphenated combine,
had better drop the word Times
from its title and let it sink into OBJ

THE Massachusetts legislature has

The Massachusetts, legislature has
Just passed q sweeping Sunday obser-
vance law which recalls the Puritan
Sabbath" Of the early pilgrims.
Among its provisions is one declar-
ing that no entertainment shall be
given on Sunday to which an admis-
sion fee is charged. 1t makes any
person attending a performance in
violation of the law liable to a fine of
IS and saws: s.Whoever on the
Lords day keeps open his shop. ware
house or workhouse, or does any
manual labor, business, or work ex-
cept works of necessity and charity.
or takes part in any sport, game. or
play except a sacred concert, shall be
punished by fine OF $50 for each
offense. and the owner of any hall in
which such law is violated is liable
to . fine of $500" The law will be
enforced in the smaller towns and
villages, where public sentiment will
demand its observance, but in Bos-
ton and other large cities OF the
state it will probably be dead letter.

GRIZZLY AND MEXICAN BULL

Exciting Sport IN New Laredo Nek-
Everybody II Present.
LAREDO, Tex, April 16-The fight be
tween the California grizzly and the Mex.
lean bull, Panther. " took place yesterday
In the bull ring in New Laredo, Mex,
but though 1t pleased the crowd it was
not much Of fight after all. Great con
sternation was caused at one stage of the
game when the bear, "Ramidan," being
pursued to one of the corners, proceeded
to climb out over the top of the cage t.
the great discontinue of every one of thu
old, staid and phlegmatic city and gov.
.rnment officials, bankers and bushes:
men who had not been obliged to move
actively since their oyhood days.
The bull was . fine animal and the ag
gressive party throughout. When tn,
bear was first let in through the trap dool
the bull! Immediately made such a terrifi,
assault that had it been in the Chicago
wheat pit he certainly would have had
him in a corner. As it was the bold beas,
was completely dumfounded and ''toOh
. sneak" several times around the ring
Finally the bull made q plunge on the
bears short ribs.
The bull then retired for awhile, and
when he returned again to his work
though renewing the attack some dozen
times the bear showed no fight. Ths
crowd seemed to enjoy 1t, and their cries
could be heard for a mile. Still as a fight
1t was no good. their style being toe
entirely different While the bear Is a
great hugger, the bull Is more like foot.
ball player. The bear is the same that
fought the lion, Parnell, here on April 1,
but the cage was much enlarged for this
event. being thirty feet in diameter.
After the fight the bear was suffering
greatly, partly from the severe punish.
ment, but it was thought mostly from
exhaustion. while the bull when last seen
was very lively ard as big u buffer rs
ever. The bear died an hour after the
fight as the result Of his punishment

SENTENCE of a two months resi-
dence in the penitentiary is not bit
too severe upon a politician who as
saults reporter. There are few more
valuable members of society than re-
porters, except editors. and they must
be protected. OF politicians there is
always a superluity, and it matters
little to community what becomes
of them. but properly guarded report
ers grow up to be editors, and We can
not have too large or healthy a stock
