ened in the Grave.
Grass Valley (CaL) Tidings.
Peter King, a lumberman CT Grass
Valley, recently met with terrible
accident whereby he lost one of his
arms in planning mill machine. The
accident occurred nearly week ago.
Yesterday morning one of his as
sociates in the yard called upon him
to make inquiries as to his progress
toward strength and recovery. Mr..
King was progressing favorably, but
in the conversation that ensued he
stated to his friend that he imagined
he felt a cramped and constrained
feeling in the hand which he had
lost. He said he felt as though it
We're twisted, and he could not re-
sist the feeling of trying to turn II
to a natural and easy position. This
sensation had so annoyed him that
he had slept scarcely any the night
before.
This part of the conversation was
then dropped Soon Mr.. Kings bust
ness associate departed. Without
saying a word to Mr.. King of his
intentions he enlisted the services Of
another attache of the yard, and the
two proceeded to the cemetery where
Mr.. Kings dismembered arm lay
buried. They disinterred the shat
tered member. And here comes the
marvellous part Of this story.
In the first place they found the
hand in a twisted position, similar to
that described by Mr.. King. They
took hold of it carefully and placed
it in an easy and natural position.
At the moment they wers 1r3.2.easa.i::22ulat-
ing the hand in TINS manner the dis
tant patient, not knowing that any
person was contemplating an act of
the kind, remarked to his nurse:
Some one is fooling with my hand"
From that time he lost the twist
ed and cranped sensation. The nurse,
also being unaware of the intention
of the lumbermen, soon after stepped
over to the yard to learn If any one
had gone to the cemetery to fix Mr..
Kings hand. The employees had not
yet returned. When they did return
a comparison of watches showed
that when Mr.. King made the ex-
clamation above quoted they were
then placing the dismembered hand
in an easy position. Mrs. King as
serts that from the time of this act,
as related and vouched for by the
gentlemen named, her husband has
rested easily and has not since COM
planned of the imaginary constrained
feeling which before had kept him
awake.

The SUMS Terrific Heat.

St Louis Republic.
We believe that we are speaking the
truth when we say that there is not
more than one person in each 10000 of
the Republics readers who has any
thing liEc a correct idea of what an
icicle forty-fve miles in diameter and
100000 in length would look like. 1t is
also true that there is no necessity for
one being provided with a mind that
would enable him to form a correct
conception OF such a gigantic cylinder
of ice, for there is no probability that
any one will ever live to see an icicle
even half SO large, yet it is interesting
to know that Sir John Herschel, the
great astronomer, used such an Illus
trauon in one of his articles on the
intensity Of the suns heat. After Civ
ing the diameter of the great blazing
orb, and a calculation on the amount
of heat radiated by each square foot
of its immense surface, he closed by
saying that if it were possible for an
icicle forty-five miles in diameter and
100000 miles long to plunge into the
suns great burning sea of gas it would
be melted away and utterly consumed,
even to its vapor, in less than one sec
ond of time
Such an icicle would contain more
cubic yards of ice than has formed on
the rivers and lakes of the United
states during the past 100 years; its
base would cover the average Mis-
souri, county, and its length would be
almost sufficient to reach to the moon.

AN ANCIENT TOAD.
Embedded in n Solid Rock He Had
Lived Thousands of Years.

Workmen engaged in laying the
foundation OF large factory at
Leeds, England, had occasion to split
an immense section of stone known
as milestone grit says the St.
Louis Republic. The stone was a
section Of perfectly sound and COM
pact rock, close-grained and solid.
After the wedges and hammers had
laid it open it was found that one
half contained cast of a perfectly
round ball, and that the other con-
tanned the ball itself This spherical
mass appeared to be of a putty-like,
yellowish clay, slightly dried on the
outside, probably from the exposure
the block of stone had been sub
jected to after being taken from
the quarry.
One OF the workmen, more curious
than the others, took trowel and
removed the clay ball and then
cracked it open to ascertain if it
contained crystals, as such balls fire.
quently do. To the surprise of the
investigator, however, and that of
his companions, who had not ex-
hibited sufficient curiosity to make
such a critical examination, it was
toad or frog. The creature was
torpid and almost motionless, but
alive just the same. After a few
moments in the fresh air, and be-
ing subjected to a refreshing bath
from the water jug, the toad began
to stretch out his legs and initiate
his body, whereupon it was found
that he was almost twice the size
of the native British toad.
The surprising discovery was made
in the evening while several gentle
men were standing about watching
the masons at their work. Among
these was a son of Prof w. A Will
Jams. Yound Williams called out to
the workman who had made the
discovery that he would give him a
sovereign for his prize, the clay cast
and the stone in which it was found.
This price was considered ample, and
the antediluvian toad and the home
he occupied for SO many hundreds
Of years are now safely resting on
the shelves in the museum of the
Leeds geographical institute.
According to the scientists the mill
stone grit is the oldest of the Sec
ondary rocks, and must have been
formed many centuries before the
deluge. The only explanation Of this
strange discovery is that the toad
was rolled up in a clay ball, and that
the milestone grit hardened around
him. Thus sealed up he lived in a
torpid state for thousands of years.

they met the Wright woman in Mon

a travelling companion. They also
swore that they knew nothing of her
character until they reached Mime

that she had bought he girls tickets,

She IS still PROSTATE, but has recov-

CURES RHEUMATISM.
Healing Doing MarveIs in New
York.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Some people in the village of West
Chester, now part of New York, be-
heve that a man who can cure rheu-
matism has come among them. The
man is about seventy years old, tall,
dressed in black, wears high hat, and
has a dignified appearance. He says
his name is William Ellis, and that he
came from England on Wednesday.
He called at the house of John Hunt
er, who used TO own race horses in
West Chester, on Thursday, and
learned that Michael Alton, formerly
hostler in Mr.. Hunters employ, was
suffering from rheumatism. Then, as
the people in West Chester tells the
story, Ellis called on Walton at his
house.
He asked for a cup of tea, and while
drinking it remarked to Alton that he
seemed to be suffering from rheuma-
tism. Alton acknowledged the fact
1t is said in West Chester that Alton
has not walked without crutches in
eighteen months. Presently Ellis
asked:
DO you believe in Jesus Christ?''
Yes was the reply.
well, then, can cure you said
Ellis.
Then he placed both hands on Alton s
shoulder, muttered to himself, and
told Alton to walk.
II can't" replied Alton.
Cry" said Ellis.
Then Alton, the story-tellers say,
walked across the floor. Ellis told him
to tell no one, and went away.
Subsequently, without crutches, AL
ton walked with boy on his Shout
ders a mile and a half TO the station
of the New Haven railroad.
After leaving Alton, Ellis called on
Walter Charles, formerly road COM
missioner of the village of West Ches-
ter. Mr.. Charles has had rheumatism
AL over for three years, and suf-
fered much pain.
Ellis repeated somewhat the same
formula previously used with Alton:
laid his hands on Charles, and the lat
ter's pain left him. AS the story-tell-
ers said, Ellis told him to tell no one
Ellis says he was sent by Divine au-
thority to this country to cure rheu-
matism, but he seemed not to want it
known.
Ellis called yesterday on Contractor
Timothy Callahan, who has been SUBJ
ject for four years to the pains of
rheumatism Galatians pains also
disappeared. Last night Ellis went to
New Rochelle to see D. NJ. Downing,
who is also subject to rheumatism.

PORTLAND, OR, Aug. 16.-At noon
today the report of several shots in
rapid succession was heard to come
from the Office of Dr. H. r. Holmes,
IN the Dekum building at Third and
Washington streets. The tenants or
the building rushed in and found the
PROSTATE bodies of DR. Holmes and
DR.. Robert K. Aushlund, each of whom
was holding a smoking pistol in his

wrist Holmes was wounded In two
places, one ball having entered an arm
and the other the body, just below the
left nipple. Aushland was taken to the
hospital and Holmes to his residences.
Aushlund's wounds will undoubtedly
result fatally, while the physicians,
think Holmes will recover 1t is not
known what was the cause of the

to criticism by Holmes of AushIund's

CAUTIOUS RUSTIC.
Story of n Man Who Had Some EX-
perience in Signing Things.

Nashville American
It is an unwritten but rigidly en-
forced law that no man be allowed TO
write his name on a hotel register with
a lead pencil. Those who patronize
the hotels are we'll acquainted with the
rule and always observe it, but there
are some whose Familiarity with hotel
life is not in an advanced stage, and
they are the ones who cause trouble
to the clerks by invariably producing
their ever-ready pencil when they essay
to write their name upon the annals
of hotelology. A Cincinnati travelling
man amused a select coterie Of fel-
low travellers yesterday with MARIA
tive in which a pencil and an unso-
phisticated would-be guest at Louis
vile hotel played a prominent part.
The man with the pencil struck the
cfTice of the hotel during a rush, and
he had written his name on the regis
ter before the clerk noticed the i'm
plement he used. The clerk was very
polite about it, but he erased the PEN
ell signature and handed the prospec-
tive guest a pen freshly dipped in ink
IT wrote my name once, said the
ei1est. eff that don't suit you, you
write it yourself"
The clerk explained that it was nee
essary 10 preserve the register, and for
that reason they wished signatures in
ink. The explanation didn't suit the
guest. He seemed to think the clerk
had designs upon him, and he posi-
tiyely. refused to write again on the
register ..,,,.

later I had to pay a note for $500 that

The fellow carried his point, too,
and the clark was forced to write his
name for him.
