and producing large quantities of fruit

IN AN ARIZONA SHOW.
The Ost.lch Swallowed a Lighted
Cigar and There Was Trouble.

The Ost.lch Swallowed a Lighted
Cigar and There Was Trouble.
There was a performance in the Os-
trich department of the syndicate
shows yesterday which had not been
advertised. It took the place of the
strong man feature which was adver-
tised, but didn't come off. Sammie
Hughes was standing near the ostrich
conservatory, making scientific study
Of the birds and smoking a freshly
lighted 1O-cent cigar. An ostrich sud
denly heightened his neck about
foot and removed the cigar from Mr..
Hughes mouth and swallowed it, fire
and all. The length Of an ostrich's
neck furnishes a wonderful Opportu-
nifty for a lighted cigar, and it burned
every inch Of the way as it went
down. The ostrich acted as If he re-
GREETED having given way to the
prompting Of his indiscriminate appe-
title. A gentleman connected with The
show in the capacity of chamberlnaid
for the ostriches saw the cigar dis
appear within the birds bill. He ac-
cused Mr.. Hughes of having made a
voluntary contribution and uttered
language which was neither moral nor
polite, showing that the spiritual
training of this great educational
menagerie is not what it is cracked UP
to be. He threatened to eject Mr..
Hughes from the premises. Mr.
Hughes tried to explain that he was
the chief loser by the transaction, and
that the whole thing was an affair
between himself and the ostrich. Dep
uty United States Marshal Ezekiel
also began to say that the ostrich had
brought the trouble on himself. The
Snowman pushed Mr.. Ezekiel aside,
and the officer was compelled to ex-
hibit his gun as his badge Of author
| ity. In the meantime the cigar had
been eXtinguished in the birds giz-
card, and he seemed to have forgotten
the episode of the cigar and was look
ing longingly at an empty soda water
bottle which lay on the ground just
out of reach.-Tucson Star.

PARDON FOR VAN.
The Iowa Pension Lawyer Forgiven
by the President

me iowa PENSION Lawyer Forgiven
by the President
Washington, Oct 20-A pardon has
been granted by the president to Geo.
NJ. Van Leuven, sentenced in Iowa to
imprisonment for two years and $1,000
fine for violation Of the pension laws.
Van Leuven's is one of the most cele-
brated of all pension fraud cases. He
was an attorney with al extensive
pension practice.
The original investigation in the Van
Leuven cases was begun in the spring
of 1898. Van Leuven at the time was
doing a fourishing business as a pen
sion attorney. Suspicious circum-
stances led to the detailing of special
officers Of the government to look up
the manner in which he did his bust
ness. Some thirty of forty indictments
were returned against Van Leuven in
Iowa and twelve Of fifteen in Mime
sofa, and on one of the former, charg-
ing him with attempted bribery of the
board of examining surgeons at Cres-
co, Iowa, he was tried at Dubuque last
December, and found guilty. There
upon he confessed to all the other in
dictments the government then had
against him and the court sentenced
him to pay a heavy fine and to i'm
prisonment of two years on each of the
indictments, sentence, however, being
concurrent and not cumulative.

The Mysterious Charles Kelly Sent
Up for Three Months.
st. Paul, Oct 2O.-The mysterious
Charles Kelly, alias Cora Baker, came
before the court to ask that he might
be permitted to withdraw his former
plea of not guilty and plead guilty to
petit larceny.
DR.. Amoss had good word to say
Of the prisoner. He had worked for
the doctor with great fidelity for a
year, and had been entrusted with
money and valuable property. The
doctor had never noticed anything
wrong with the defendant until he
had returned from an absence from
the city. Then the property named
in the Indictment had been stolen.
Even Judge Kelly was little
aroused by the singular alias, and
asked the doctor: "He is indicted by
singular alias; do you know of any
reason why he should have assumed
female attire?'
'"There are some reasons" said the
doctor, "why he might with propriety
have worn female clothing
