started, which spread and grew. until
this afternoon it was told that man

cretly buried in the ditch along the
railroad track.
This evening a thousand people
gathered at one OF the schoolhouses,
clamoring for the life of the police
men and denouncing the entire force.
Chief Byrne went among them in his
buggy and tried to pacify them. but
they had talked themselves crazy and
would not even listen to him. They
surrounded him shouting and demand.

INTELLIGENT SWALLOWS.
| Observations of An Ornithologist on the
| Actions of the Bird.

Observations of An Ornitholog ist on the
Actions of the Bird.
DR.. T. H. Knowlton of the Smithson-
ian institution has published an &C
count OF observations made on the hab-
it's Of the common cave or cliff swallow,
which show that this bird possesses a
remarkable degree Of intelligence. Fave
swallows, as is we'll known. usually Sc
lect the caves of a building for their
nesting site, and sometimes as many
as a hundred nests may be observed
under one projection. DR.. Knowlton's
observations are as follows; Within my
collecting grounds is a shed open only
on one side, where for many years cliff
swallows have attached their nests to
the sleepers of the loft, In the spring
Of 1873 they returned, as usual, and
soon began repairing old nests or build
ing new ones. One day 1t was noticed
that one bird remained in her half-fin-
ished nest, and did not appear to be
much enga ged. Soon neighbor, own
ing a nest few feet away, arrived with
a fresh pellet of clay, and after adjust
ing 1T In a satisfactory manner few
away for more. No sooner was she out
Of sight than the quiet bird repaired to
the neighbours nest, appropriated the
fresh clay and nodded tt to her own
nest When the plundered bird returned
no notice was taken of the theft, which
WAS repeated as soon as she was again
out IF sight. These movements were
repeated many times, with the result
that the nest Of the Stay-at-home bird
grew apacel In the same place a nasst
remained undisturbed, and was ooeu
pied by probably the same pair Of bids
for several seasons. One spring they se-
turned and ali appeared prosperous, an
til one day IL was noticed that nssn-
Der OF swallows were engaged in we'll
ing up the entrance to this old nsst.
This work, as we'll as the outline 81 a
new nest over the old, was soon com
pieted. The closed nest wes then brsk
en- open and within was found the dead
body Of a swallow. The bird had prob
ably died a natural death, and the
friends being unable to remove the body
and knowing that 1t would soon become
offensive, adopted this method of seal
ing it up.

THE TURN FEST.

Never Gefore was Manitowoc so beauti-
fully decorated as it was for the State
funniest. Large gangs of men began work
on Wednesday and the work was prose.
cnted until Friday evening and then the
CITY was in gala dress. The weather was
superb, with breeze blowing sufficient
to cause those undulations in the stars
and stripes which add SO much to the
beauty OF that flag The decorations OF
the business houses were particularly
fine and very appropriate. Eighth street
was mass Of color, the bright hues of
the bunting beng brought ont finely by
the arches OF green.
The delegates arrived on Friday TO the
number of 10. They were assigned places
at private houses, hut headquarters for
the different societies were at public
houses. These delegates are all promi-
nent men and soon enlarged the circle OF
their acquaintance considerably. 1t was
Gut Hell from the start and the visitors
response was as hearty as the greeting.
A business meeting was held on Friday
evening at Turner Hall at which the fol-
loving officers were elected: President.
G.. kusterman Of Green Bay: VIce-Presi-
dent, NJ. A. MeslIns, Mayvile; Assistant
Secretary, q. Burghardt Fun du Lac.
The committee on resolutions consisted
Of II. G. Boppe, III. Hoffman, Jacob
LeisseE. q. Bartels and +. Schaumberg.
Routine business Was continued
throughout Saturday forenoon and a
portion Of the afternoon. Considerable
feeling was aroused by report OF the
condition OF several of the societies OF
the state published in The See Pata of
Milwaukee. This report was OF rather
an uncomplimentary nature and lad no
justification in fact
At p. m. the local turner's ana the
visiting delegates marched in a body to
the depot to receive the turner's who
came In on that train.

which he made mile in PA was his
birthday. He is the property Of Turf
Coutway and was raised by G. c.
Barnes. When the latter sold of his
horses in Chicago. he was not offered
much for this colt and brought him
home. Coutway purchased him. Las.
year, in the early part Of the season
he showed remarkable speed, but be,
fore the close of the year he became
lame and his owner had a suspicion
that he was injured purposely. The
horse Is now a valuable one and all OF

BOOTBLACkS IN CARS,
They Do Fairly Well on the Brooklyn
Elevated Road.

Bootbtacks have been introduced as
al experiment on the Broadway line Of
the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad, says
New York World. There is one in every
smoking-car, ready to shine 'em up
for a nickel at any time Of the day or
night. They clean the cars and work on
Il commission, They are not directly
hired by the company. The privilege
was leased TO d man. who hires the
boys. If the experiment proves success
full the boys will be put in the smok-
ing-cdrs of all the elevated roads in
Brooklyn. One OF the boys was asked
how he was doing. Bully, boss ne
said, "for Brooklyn. But hully gen, If
we only had dis snap in New York We
would have money TO eat. Why, it would
knock de spots off workin on ferries.

Not only human beings, but~cows,
sheep, squirrels, and many kinds Of
birds are fond of mushrooms In many
places mushrooms are dried just as our
grandmothers once dried apples, strung
on strings, and hung from the ceiling
for winter use. Some European species
are used in coloring. One yields yell
low dye, another an exquisite green
which colors the tree on which it grows;
and from this wood is manufactured
the celebrated Tunbridge ware. The
poor people Of Fanconia, Germany, dry,
press, and stitch together a certain kind
of mushroom, which is then made inS
garments; and in Bohemia a large round
toadstool is dried and the Upside re-
moved; 1t Is turned bottom upward,
fastened TO the wall, and used to hold
a beautiful trailing vine, which grows
luKuriantiy.

HER TOOTH EXTRACTED.
Aching Molar Taken from the Mouth of
Elephant,

An Elephant.
To pull an elephants tooth is about
the biggest professional task a veter-
mary was ever called upon to under
take. The operation was performed a
few months ago at Peru, Ind, the win
ter quarters of the great Wallace
shows. Jeanette, one of the -favorites
in the herd exhibited with this aggre-
cation, showed signs of distress. She
had acute attacks Of indigestion and
would frequently whinny as if suffering
greatly. She did not relish her food
She became very afectionate toward
her keeper and seemed to be begging
him to do something for her relief Dr.
Cpshall, a member of the Detroit Col
lege Of Veterinary Surgery, was tele-
graphed for. He found Jeanette had
an liberated tooth, which was aching
terribly. The afflicted one was grinder
of hugh dimensions, and it hurt Just in
proportion as It was Dig. The ulcer on
the root, when out, proved to be as big
as hens egg. Jeannette's measure
ment was taken from her tail to her
neck. just that distance from a corner
In brick building with q fourteen-inch
wall, was erected, with massive oak
timbers, a sort of stock, with an adjust
able top piece. She was backed into the
corner and her head put through the
timbers, which was then closed on her
neck. The walls of the building held
her body and she would have to pull
her head off to get away from the tim.
bers. DR.. Cpshall produced pair Of
forceps that would make a black
smiths tongs look like small plyers.
He mounted the scaapld built in front
and secured Jeanettes trunk back over
her body with strong straps. Then he
passed strap iron through her month
and fastened her jaw firmly. All was
ready. He gripped the great forceps
into the tooth and with ratchet de-
vice on the handles he screwed them as
tight as possible. Three other strong
men mounted the frame work with him.
At signal all began to pull. Jeanette
groaned and tried to break away. At
first 1t was long, steady pull, but the
tooth was there to stay. The doctor
Instructed his assistants TO let up and
they would try other tactics. He direct
ed them to give IL short, sudden jerks
In unison. They did so, and at each
"he4sho" that molar was given an ar
gument that caused Jeanette to let
forth a terrible groan. Once, twice,
three times they terked-and then!
Wei, two OF the men We're picking
themselves up off the floor and one was

DANCING HORSES OF sfBARIs.
Bose by Which the Crotoniates Con-
quered Their Enemies.


In the ST. Nicholas, James Baldwin
tells OF the decline OF the Greek colony
Of Sybsrts, after the inhabitants had
given themselves up wholly to pleas
ure. OF the battle IN which they were
finally conquered. Mr.. Baldwin writes:
When a spy reported TO the Crotoniates
that he had seen all the horses n
Eybaris dancing 10 the music of a pipe.
the Croton general saw his opportunity
at once. He sent into the Sybarte ter
ritories large company OF shepherds
and flfers armed with nothing but
flutes and shepherds pipes, while
little way behind them marched the
rank and file OF the Crotoniate army.
When the Sybarites heard that the
enemy's forces were coming. they mar
shaled their cavalry--the finest in the
world at that time-and sailed forth
to meet them. They thought It would
be fine sport to send the Crotoniates
scampering back across the fields into
their own country; and half of Sybaris
went out to see the fun. What an odd
sight It must have been-a thousand
Thankfully dressed horsemsn. splendid1y
mounted riding out 10 meet an army
Of unarmed shepherds and handful Of
ragged foot-soldiers! The Sybarite
ladies wave their handkerohiefs and
cheer their champions to the charge.
The horsemen sit proudly in their sad
dies, ready at a word TO make the grand
dash-when, bark! A thousand pipes
begin to play-not Yankee Doodle" n9
Rule Britannia"-but the national a.
Of Croton, whatever that may ha~
been. The order is given 10 charge; IL
Sybarites shout and drive their spvo
into their horses danks-what fae
sport II Is going TO be- But the waf
steeds hear nothing, care for nothin&
but the music. They lift their slendex
hoofs IN unison with the inspiring
strains. And now the armed Crotch
iates appear on the field; but the pipers
still pipe, and the horses still dance
they caper, curvet caracOle, pirOuette,
waltz trip the light fantastic hoof, for
getful of everything but the delight
ful harmony. The Sybarite riders have
been so sure of the victory that they
have taken more trouble to ornament
than TO arm themselves. Some Of them
are pulled from their dancing horses
by the Crotoniate footmen-others slip
to the ground and run as fast as their
nerveless legs will carry them back to
the shelter of the city walls. The sheP-
herds and fifers retreat slowly toward
Croton. still piping merrily, and the
sprightly horses follow them keeping
step with the music. The dancing
horses cross the boundary line between
the two countries, they waltz across
the Crotoniate fields, they caracole gay
ly through the Croton gates. and when
the fifers cease their playing the streets
Of Crotona are full of fine warehouses.
Thus it was that the Sybarites lost the
fine cavalry of which they had been so
proud. The complete overthrow of their
power and the conquest Of their city
by the Crotoniates followed soon after
ward-for how, between so idle and SO
industrious a community. could it have
been otherwise?
