CyciOne-Tempered Fat Man.
From the Detroit Free Press

Cycione-Tempered Fat Man.
(From the Detroit Free Press.)
There bad been an accidentdown he road,
making the expected train three hours late,
and, of course, all the waiting passengers
were mad-all but a little old man who
sat on a salt barrel on the long depot
platform and figured away with pencil
on piece of brown paper. By and by he
rose up and went over to a fat man who was
leaning against hogsbead of sugar and
said:
II want to ask you a question or two.
You know what the sun is, of Course. We
all know that, but I'm a little mixed. Does
the airtb revolve around the sun, or is 1t
Jest the other way?"
II don't know and don't care con-

the fat man, as hegrew red in the face and

"wen, don't want to talk with you, and
that settles it, replied the fat man.
Don't you know how fur 1t is from this

"Do you want me to lay you up for six
months?"
..Skassly, but seems to me that every crit

"I s'pose SO: but It does seem sing lar that

The fat man grabbed him and gave him
slam TO the right and then a slam to the left,
and then shook his old hat off and ripped
the collar off his coat and pitched him over
the hogshead umoDg lot OF soap boxes.
| 1t was five minutes before the old chap
crawled out, and five minutes more before
he seemed to realize the situation. When
things were somewhat clear to him, he
| slowly reached his feet, looked around upon
| the crowd in a dazed sort OF way, and slowly
| said:
THE sun revolves around this depot. and
the airth revolves around the sun, and durn
my buttons, if 1 hain't been revolvin
around all three of 'em and the pyramids of
Egypt to boot"

There Is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies. and
by constantly failing TO cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in

ROBBERS USE DYNAMITE.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Wreck the
Vault in q Bank at Anaconda,
Mo1fn1U

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 20.-An attempt
was made to blow up and rob Hoge, DAILY
d Co. s bank at Anaconda shortly after
O'Clock this morning. Two clerks, E. L.
Kunkel and Thomas Hammerle were
asleep in the building, and were awakened
by the noise. They got up, and were
about to investigate, but as they reached
the street an explosion took place. 1t
shook the building, shattered the plate
glass and burst open the big vault.
A crowd of citizens and policemen were
soon at the scene, and one of the robbers
standing on the roof of the building was
caught and recognized as a mechanic
named A. L. Firpo.
The explosion of the dynamite did not
injure the vault proper, nor did it reach
the several hundred dollars it contained
Firpo has confessed and implicated Will
liam 2. Darling, young blacksmith, as
the originator and leader of the attempted
robbery. Darling ran away when the ex-
plosion occurred and fell off building,
breaking several ribs.

THE LOCATION OF THE
CRATERS.
DRIVEN BACK BY THE HEAT.
Two MEN CAMPING IN THE WILDs
THE FIRST TO WITNESS THE
PHENOMENON.

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, Oct. 90
For the first time in something over thirty
years the Olympic range of mountains has
broken forth in volcanic eruption, and in
one section is belching out fire and lava in
large quantities. The eruption is in what
is known as the second chain, and is esti-
mated to be thirty miles back of the city
of Port Angeles, situated on the Straits of
Juan de Fuca.
That violent eruption is in progress is
evidenced by the fact that during the day
column of dense smoke rises high in the
air, while at night the spectacle is inspr-
ing, the column changing from dull
black to a Iurid red, having the tint of
molten iron.
Thus far the closest investigators of the
phenomenon have been B. s. Pettygrove
and Harry ChappeD of this city, two we'll
known riders and mountaineers, who first
discovered the fiery mountain while in
search of derelict cattle. The eruption
began during the night while the two men
were asleep on mountain three miles
distant, and is described as a sight truly
inspiring, accompanied by a heat which
was so intense at that distance as to singe
all growth and force the two to seek shelter
several miles beyond, at which point they
stopped to contemp plate the scene of
grandeur, returning to town next day to
report.

medlately authorized The United Press to
make the following statement:
"Senor De LONE has proofs of his hav-

Senor De Lone added: "I am in the
way of many people because 1 successfully

and because the people of the United
States know me and are sure that | cannot

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, CUBA, Oct. 8, via
Key West, Fla, Oct. 20-A band of rebels,
numbering thirty men, made descent at
break of day on October on the residence
OF Don Octave 1nena, on the Cobre road,
SIX kilometers from this city, and set fire

fering with the free running of trains.
1t Is announced that proclamation has
been issued by General Maceo recurring
families TO abstain from travelling on the
trains on the Sabanila railway as it is
proposed to destroy the line and it is not

CRUISERS FOR TURKEY.
Three Modern Wnrships to Be Built at the
Cramp ShIpyards at PhHa-
delDhjn

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 2o.-Augustus
Van Milligan, purveyor to the Sultan of
Turkey, who arrived here this evening
after business trip to New Haven to pur-
chase arms for the Turkish Government,
stated that he had plans and specifications
drawn up for the Cramps of Philadelphia
for three armored cruisers similar to those
constructed for the United States Govern
ment. He said that it was the purpose of
the Turkish Government to duplicate the
cruisers of the United States as nearly as
possible, and that the total expense of the
vessels already negotiated for was $300O,-
900. He will take the plans home with
him, and the contract will be awarded
later.
he ordering of these nea' y sells is the
outcome of the great naval exhibition of
the world at the opening of the Kiel canal
in Germany this year. At the time the
United States cruisers which attended the
exhibition were a source of surprise to
nearly all the European ship-builders, and
they easily led the world in their class.
Heretofore the greater part of the navy OF
Turkey had been built in Great Britain
and France, but the American cruisers
made such first-class impression that it
was decided to give the Cramps an crder
which was the object of the visit.
Mr.. Van Milligan was at the trial of the
Indiana Thursday and was very favorably
impressed with the new battleship, and
says that it is very probable that Turkey
will be a large buyer in the future.

FAVOR SAN FRANCISCO,
A CONVENTION BOOM LAUNCHED
BY THE POLITICIANS AT
NEW YORK.
MCKINLEY, ALLISON AND REEF
HAVE DECIDED UPON THE
COAST METROPOLIS.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 2o.-The Mer-
curry will say tomorrow:
A big boom for San Francisco as the
coming convention city for the Republican
party struck the town to-day; or, to be
strictly accurate, it arrived several days
ago and was only let loose to-day.
1t is said that an agreement has been
reached between the friends of Mckinley,
Allison and Reed to send the convention
to the California metropolis. Colonel
Joseph FL. Manley has been advocating
the claims of San Francisco for the con-
vention for the past year.
National Committeeman William NJ.
Hahn of Ohio, who is here representing
Mckinley, says that he is inclined to favor
San Francisco. General James s. Clark
son of Iowa, who is the custodian of the
Allison boom, is enthusiastic in favor of
the Pacific Coast city, and Chairman Car
ter is also squirting in the direction of San
Francisco, if one may Judge anything
from his conversation. Clarkson says that
Sam Fessenden of Connecticut and Gar
rett A. Hobart of New Jersey will vote for
San Francisco.
Charles M. Shortridge, the editor of the
San Francisco CALL, who is in town, de-
clares that he has made personal canvass
of the members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, and that majority of
them have expressed preference for San
Francisco, and will vote to send the Ma
tional Convention to that city.
1t now looks as if the contest for the Re-
publican National Convention will be be-
tween San Francisco and Pittsburg.
