Horsewhipped by Their N~eighbors.

A few nights ago a man named Zerby
and his wife, living a few miles east of
Elkhart, Ind, maltreated the 7~-year-old
orphan niece of the man. evidently with
the intention of killing her. so as to be
relieved of her care, as she had been
making her home with them. They
finally threw her into a ditch, under the
impression that she was dead. During
the night she recovered sufficiently to
crawl out and make her way to a farm
house near by where she told her story.
The other night fourteen farmers of the
neighborhood visited Zerby's house un-
disguised, and, calling them out, gave
Zerby and his wife a severe whipping
with buggy whips.

A Curious Freak.

One of the most curious human freaks
in existence lives in Madison county, in
this state. The freak is a negro boy
now over 81 years of age. The boys
head is of immense size. being fully
fifty inches in circumference. He is
about three feet in height and has never
walked, although his limbs seem per-
fectly formed. But. although he does
not walk he gets about briskly by rolling
over and over. 1t IS a novel sight TO see
the boy make himself into a ball ard go
tumbling about the house. The boy is
very intelligent and delights in talking
to strangers. His mother has Indian
blood in her veins and has resisted Bit
terly all attempts of museum men to Sc
cure her son for exhibition purposes

a Peri.sus Adventure

1t might have been for that party sent
out by the Northern Pacific Railroad in
the summer of 1894 TO climb Mount
Rainier. A climb up Mount Washing
ton only 6.000 feet above the sea, or up
Pixies Peak on a railroad. is not much
of an undertaking compared with
climbing on foot with provisions and
bedding on one's back. over ice and
snow for nearly three miles, vertically.

lished account of his successful
achievement the party weI we'll repaid

dome of this grand mountain, with the
clouds more than a mile below them.

that point, but the view of Natures

men who get there" One night was
passed on the rocks and in an ice cave,
at an elevation of more tina II 600 feet
above the sea level.

The High Collars.

Every season somebody makes a de-
termined effort to crowd the enormous
ly stiff and uncomfortable collars bach
from the throat. but for some unex-
planned reason, no sooner are they with
drawn a little, SO that the wearer can
get q little natural and easy breath.
thar up they go again more fluffy and
close than before. The vest. chemi-
settle, pulled front and guimpe ideag
are, however. susceptible Of so many
notifications that women may wear
thin materials around the throat, If
they choose. instead Of the velvet and
satin that so many of them seem to
prefer. OF course, there is convenience
and economy in thicker fabrics; they
stay IN place and keep fresh much
longer than thin ones, and are therefore
more universally adopted. Neckwear
plays such a prominent part In present
day dressing that 1t IS worth While to
study it from an artistic standpoint.
II is said that the stock-collar has seen
its best days, and that beaded collars
and bands Of elaborate embroidery are
likely to take its place. This has points
Of advantage, as very many people are
tired Of so much material around the
throat.

besides numerous Galateas, linens and

as they were last year, with jackets

material. Less severity is shown in

The white ducks have fronts Of some
soft material. such as dotted net over
a dainty shade of silk, and nan of

(From the Springfield. Mass, Union)
There isn't a gun manufacturer in the
United States, who does not know JEFF
ferson NJ. Clough. He has been intimate
~ associated all his life with the de-
Velopment of the Remington and
Winchester rifles. For years he was SUI
p-erintendent of the E. Remington &
Sons great factory at lion, N. Y.
After leaving there he refused a Tempt
ing offer of the Chinese government to
sc to China to superintend their gov
eminent factories,-and accepted in
stead the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Win
chester Arms Co, at New Haven, at a
salary Of $500 a year.
1t was after this long term of active
labor as a business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two WARS ago, and returned
to Belchertown, Mass, where he now
i've and owns the Phelps farm.
Being a man of means he did not
spare the cost and was treated by lead
ing physicians and by baths Of cele-
brated springs without receiving any
benefit worth notice. During the sum
mer of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr..
Clough was confined to his house in
Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffer
ing continually with acute pains n
with no taste or desire for food, nor was
he able to obtain sufficient sleep.
EARLY in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough
heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He began taking these
pills about the first of March, 1894, and
continued to do so until the first part of
September following. The first effect
noticed was a better appetite and he
began to note more ability to help him
self off the bed and to be better ger
orally. Las August QS9D he was able
to go alone to his summer residence and
farm of 1913 acres on Grenadier island,
among the Thousand islands, in the
River St. Lawrence, where from the
highest Ian Of his farm he commands a
view for thirteen miles down the river,
and sixty of the Thousand stands can
be seen.
Instead OF being confined to his bed
Mr.. Clough is now and has been for
some lime able to be about the farm to
direct the men employed there and he is
thankful for what DR.. Williams PM
Pills have lone for him.
These pills are manufactured by the
DR.. Williams Medicine company, Sche-
nectady. N. Y, and are sold only in
boxes bearing the firms trade mark and
wrapper, at so cents a box or six boxes
for $3.50 and are never sold in bulk.
They may be a of all druggists or

cine company.

THIS FISH WAS A BIRD.
Flew 80 Feet in thc Air, but MIR. Pierce
Landed Him.


Frank Pierce, a tinsmith living at
Dolgeville, n. Y, while angling last
week, was surprised to see a fish lake
the fly and sail up into the air with it.
Mr.. Pierce was so daZed by this pro-
ceeding hal he allowed the fish to sail
away with about fifty feet of line be-
fore he commenced hauling it down, He
finally landed the fish and secured it in
his basket. The fish is about five inches
long and has the body and fins of a
trout. The skin is also like that of a
trout. but is not spotted, and the belly
is white. The head is shaped like that
of a bull-head, but has no horny pro-
-tuherances. The eyes are set closely to-
gether in the top of the head. not more
than a sixteenth of an inch apart. Just
back of the gills are a pair of wide
spread wings an inch and th~ree-quart-
ers long. The web of the wings is like
that of an ordinary fin. but much light
er n more delicate. The creature will
be preserved in alcohol.
