A TAN Reunion.

There was family reunion at Tones
ia, Pa, recently, says the Oh City Der
rick, that calls forth more than mere
mention. 1t was gathering together Of
father, mother, and six sons, all of the
latter over twenty-one years OF age
This family group had not all been to-
gether since the boys, some of them
years ago, went out into the world to
fight their battles for themselves, Mr.
and Mrs, Harmon Coleman are the
father and mother, both hale and
hearty, and the sons names are j. f.,
Henry, william, j. e., s. w. and Frank.
The main object Of this item Is not so
much to mention the fact Of the happy
reunion as to try and picture to the
reader the size of the six separated
sons, or rather their respective and col
lectlve heights, Here are the exact fig
ures ]. II. Is feet inches; Henry
6 feet inches; william, feet inches;
j, e., feet inches; S. W., 6 feet 3
inches, and Frank, the short one OF the
stalwart family an exact feet. These
measurements were all taken in stock
ing feet. The total height OF the whole
seXtet Is 81 feet 4 inches, The father
and mother are only about the average
height Of ordinary mortals The boys
are all well-to-do in the towns and cit
les where they are located.

died, and the daughter is attending
Carleton College at Northfeld.
Haywood stood at his post in the
hour Of trial, and forfeited his life to
save the property Of his employers. He
simply did what he considered his duty,
had worked with him every day for
three years, and had opportunity to
know him intimately. He was always

detail, aud kind and cheerful In dis
position, though he had not enjoyed

better for his having lived and every
bank in the country was benefited by
his heroic death.
mot so with the perpetrators OF the
crime. They counted without their
host. They were overbold, and thought
to surprise, frighten and overwhelm
with fear, and the probabilities of sue
cess were ninety-nine to one In their
favor. There were those in the bank
as fearless and determined as they, and
there were those outside cool-headed
and brave-hearted.

Red boomers have raised more than
the shade Of Mephistopheles at pray
err meeting in Mason, o.. and 1t may be
beyond the power of the pastor and
good people of the Methodist church
at that place to lay this spirit again.
Miss Ada Coleman, one Of the bellies
Of Warren county, donned the first pair
of boomers ever worn in that part Of
the country, and intent only upon a
color which would be becoming inno-
Gently selected red. Now boomers Of
any other color might not have shocked
the good men Of Mason, but boomers
Of bright red were pronounced bold and
bad, and when Miss Coleman, who was
organist, walked up the aisle in her
boomers and took her place at the ora
gan the good men were utterly scan
dallzed, and bidding their wives follow
their example, they marched out of the
church In high dudgeon. Now they are
swallowing hard over the fact that their
pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Wordsworth, re-
fuses to rebuke Miss Coleman and the
other young women who wear boomers.

Mexico City special: A new apparl-
ton Of the Virgin Of Guadalupe Is re-
ported, but 1t Is not true, as has been
said, that Archbishop Alcaran has
vouched for 1t. The story as told is
this: Matilde PERI, a washerwoman,
had an old basket Of fatlrons and other
objects, including small image Of the
Virgin of Guadalupe. Entering the
room where the basket was the night
Of June II Matilde was astonished to
see a light issuing from the basket
Upon examining 1t she fould that the IL
Elimination came from the image. She
placed 1t on the wall and invited sick
people in her humble nelghborhood to
visit 1t. They went In throngs and,
touching the miraculous image, which
continued to shed supernatural light,
were all healed. Newspaper reporters
who saw the image assert that 1t sheds
a violet light.

KANSAS NOTES.
About Hog Cholera.


Secretary Coburn of the state board
of agriculture says; There are reports
Of more or less "hog cholera" In
various parts Of the state and 1t is not
improbable that many well meaning
citizens through ignorance of the law
and the ease with which the disease is
spread are unwittingly aiding in the
destruction of thousands OF swine
which, with strong prices, her present
shortage and tremendous corn crop
Kansas at this time can lily afford to
lose. 1t is conceded chat the contagion
from "choera" hogs and their dead
carcassss is carried from place to place
by dogs, wolves, crows, buzzards, run
ming water and various other agencies,
including the clothing of those who
come in contact with them, and this
fact emphasizes the necessity Of
promptly isolating ailing animals and
deeply burying or burning the dead,
even though there was no law making
1t mandatory,
Section !, chapter 1877, session laws
OF 1886, makes 1t the duty of every per-
son who owns or controls any hog dead
of any disease to burn or bury it with
in twenty-four hours after death, and
failure to do so is n mislemeanor, sub
ject to fine not exceeding 500. A
like penalty applies to selling or bar
tering any hog which has died oS dis
ease The same punishment Is pro-
vided, too, for persons depositing any
dead hog in any river, stream, creeS
or ravine.
Section of chapter 1853 is ignored by
or unknown to many, but is import
ant. 1t says; Any person being the
owner Of any domestic animal or ami
mails, or having the same in charge,
who shall turn out or suffer any such
domestic animal or animals having
any contagious or infectious disease,
knowing the same to be diseased, to
run at large upon any uninclosed land,
common or highway, or shall let the
same approach within one hundred
feet OF any highway, or shall sell or
dispose Of any domestic animal or an
imals, knowing the same to be 30 dis
eased, without fully disclosing the
fact to the purchaser, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor and shall DO
punished by fine in any amount not
exceeding five hundred dollars, or inn
prisonment in the county jail not mora
than six months.
The practice of throwing dead AMI
mails into ravines, creeks and rivers
from which freshets may carry them
long distances to spread poison and
pollution, is especially common and

Following the raid there was the
largest sale Of fire arms all over the
country known since the civil war, and
many rife companies were organized
Banks fortified themselves with ar
rangement Of counters and stored away
arms and ammunition. At Kasson may
be seen a bank railing surmounted by
a row of wicked looking iron hooks, OK
tending outward, on which, one at
tempting to leap over would very
likely be impaled Capt. Ames, vice
president of the First National, sug-

case of attack, secret spring could be
touched, and all within the bank
counter would be enclosed in an iron
cell. At last accounts he had not per-
fected his device so far as to get the
bankers out of the cell again, hence nc
patent has yet been issued.
For some months the nervousness
Of the citizens was somewhat aug
mented by the frequent receipt of let
tiers containing all sorts of threats
against the community and individuals
The bank had its full share Of such let
ters. For a year after the raid not {

down the rear steps, and up the rear
steps to the bank, just as l started for
that point myself. I distinctly saw him
peeping through the blinds, and at first
supposed him to be a member OF the
gang in reserve, but on recognizing
Miller, and having an important en-
gagement, didn't stop. He didn't stop
either. Not having time to go down the
steps in the usual manner, he went
heels over head, and the last | saw OF
him he Topped into his basement door.
1t seems he did not recognize me, as he
insists to this day that on being at
tackled by robber in front Of his store,
he ran to the rear door of the bank to
see what the matter was when another
robber took after him.
"a Norwegian tailor, named Hamre
having shop on the next street south
of the bank, came up to Division street,
and noticing the horsemen shooting and
yelling, waved his hand at one OF them
and said: Came on! came on! The
robber came on and Hamre took to his
heels and paused not till he was safe
within his cellar, taking his entire fam
lily with him. He said he vas not
scared but his wife was nervous and
he thought the cellar would be the
safest place for the children. He re-
manned with them for company till
all danger was past.
John Archer, a horsetrainer, and
something of a character in his way,
when the disturbance arose, sought a
place Of safety. The first location Sc
lected was an ice house near Water
street, southwest of Aliens and Man
climbed, and had nearly covered him
self with sawdust, when some one else,
seeking the same retreat, jumped in
upon him. He reasoned If the party
who came could find him, the robbers
could, hence he was not secure. He
left the ice house, and ran down to the
river bank, hiding among some bushes,
where he claims he was routed out a

and was obliged to seek third hiding
place up the river. In describing his
run from the ice house to the river,
Archer said, in his drawing manner:

Mrs. John r. Ames was driving in

occurrence. In my nervous state, l
eyed all strangers closely. Occasionally
one would enter, and without intro
ducing himself or asking questions
would proceed to look about the room.
At such times I often stood watching
the visitor with my hand on a double
action revolver underneath the counter,
and had the caller made quick move,
I am sure / would have shot through
the counter at him.
while I was laid up at my residence,
some good brother in Boston sent me a
bundle of tracts, accompanied by a
friendly letter Another favored me
with poem, though / didn't know /
had an enemy in the world.
zone day a telegram came to Mr..
Phillips from st. Paul reading: Three
heavily armed horsemen headed for
Northfeld. Look out for them Mr..
Phillips notified a few citizens, who
awaited developments. About dusk the
horsemen appeared, dressed in hunting
suits, and armed with shot guns. Rid
ing to Aliens stables, they attempted to
dismount, when they were placed un-
der arrest by the city marshal, who with
his assistants prevented the visitors
from even dismounting till they could
give an account Of themselves. Ex-
plantations soon followed, proving the
armed horsemen' to be three we'll
known citizens of st. Paul on chicken
hunt. The telegram was sent by their
friends as practical joke.
"Since they (the Younger brothers.
Bob, Cole and Jim were the only men,
bers Of the gang captured alive) have
been incarcerated in saltwater prison,
requests for pardon on the part OF rela-
tives in Missouri have been presented

apparent effect. Such action on the
part of a governor Of Minnesota would
result in his political death, as the
present generation will not forget the
wanton murder Of faithful Haywood.

1.-THE fact Of Heywood's resistance
and death, and the consequent failure
of the robbers in their undertaking,
was a protection to all banks against
similar attacks in the future. The
banks showed their appreciation Of the
services rendered by contributing to a
fund for Mr.. Heywood's widow. About
$4,000 was raised in this manner, thus
placing her above want. Mr.. Hey

AFFLICTED with nsrmoId CYST.

Fannie Thompson, coored, Of Louis
Vile, has been daily throwing up teeth
of all sorts since the middle Of April
Some resemble dogs teeth, others alli-
gator teeth, cow teeth, bear teeth, hog
teeth, horse teeth, sheep teeth, and
teeth Of all kinds. Within three months
the woman has thrown up 400 teeth,
which are now in the possession OF the
physicians. The woman has been con-
fined to her bed since last January,
when she fell from a street car and
gave birth to a child. She threw up
blood and finally the teeth began to
come About a dozen are discharged
at time and almost every night. DR..
Grant, one of the most trustworthy
physicians of Louisville, says he can
hear teeth grinding against each other
by placing his ear to the woman's abdoS
men. There is a large protrusion on
one side of the woman's stomach and 1t
Is believed that Is where the teeth
have been formed The disease Is
known as "dermold cyst" and is ex-
tremely rare.

the humorous incidents Of that day;
There were some humorous incl
dents connected with this serious affair,
and as am given to seeing the unro-
mantle side l recall some Of them. A
German, named Miller, conducted a fur
niture store and repair shop next door
south of the bank, living on the upper
floor of the two-story building, and
having workroom in the basement.
He had several boys growing up, who,
like other boys, were not always at
home when wanted, and Miller would
frequently consult his neighbors as TO
the whereabouts of John, Robert or
IAlbert-his sons. He was quite DEAL
While the fight on the street was in
progress, Miller came out Of his store
and stood on the walk. One Of the raid
ers riding toward him said: Get OIL
the street, you - - - NoC I'M
derstanding what was said, or what was
going on, Miller stepped up to the edge
of the walk, and clapping his hand to
his ear replied, What dye say? Robert
on the street? BY this time the rob-
Der was near Miller, and with blood in
his eye, fred off his revolver and yelled
like an Indian. Miller took the hint,
and saw there was some trouble at the
bank; turned and ran through his store,
