freddy" NIcGinness' Camp Well Stocked
With Munitions of War and Provision.
r.. WEST SUPERIOR, Aug. IL Under
Sheriff Wilcox and two deputies, who
have been in search of Freddy Nc
Ginness, wanted for the daring hold-up
OF the Knox logging camp, have re-
turned. The officers say that the camp
of McGinness was previsioned with food
and water to last them a year.. Six of
the best rifles and plenty of powder
were also found, with this were two
coils of fuse which gave the opinion
that it might have some day played a
part in a train hold-up
Deputy Coughlan thinks that the
place e is the rendezvous of the gang
which have burglarized, so extensively
in this city recently without getting
caught, and he will look closely for a
possible cache of stolen property The
officers found enough skins of recently
killed deer to give all the men long
terms in Jail.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
A Common House Fly Travels q Mile In
Thirty-three Seconds. . 81

A Common House Fly Travels Mile In
Thirty-three Seconds. e g.
It is the popular belief that the fight
Of the birds is much swifter than that
of the insects, but number of natural
lists who have been making study of
the matter think that such sis not the
case. ..- .. g..
A common house fly, for example, is
not very rapid in it's flight, but it's
wings make 500 beats a second and
send it through the air IS feet, under
ordinary circumstances, in that space of
time. When the insect is alarmed, how
ever, it has been found that it can in
crease its rate of speed to over 100 feet
per second. If it could continue such
rapid fight for mile in a straight line,
it would cover that distance in exactly
33 seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time to
see bee Or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get in at one of the
windows A swallow is considered ore
of the swiftest of flying birds, and it
was thought until recently that no in
sect could escape it. ....~-
Anaturalist tells of an exciting chase
he saw between a swallow and a dragon
fly, which is among the swiftest of in
sects The insect flew with incredible
speed and wheeled and lodged with
such ease that the swallow, despite it's
utmost efforts, completely failed to over
take and capture it-Science.

With Success.
81 MADELIA, Mimi. Aug. II The tramp
question is practically settled SO far as
Madelia is concerned. All the spring
and summer tramps have been camping
along the river adjoining this town and
coming into the city for meals The au-
thorities realized that something must
be done to protect citizens, SO the fol-
lowing plan was hit upon:
I Tickets were issued to every fam
lily in town, and when a tramp
presented himself at the door for
food he was given one Of these
tickets, with Instructions to give
that to the marshal and he would pro-
vide him with meal The marshal
would examine him and if worthy
would send him to local wood dealer,
who would issue him meal ticket on
one of the restaurants, after Mr.. Tramp
had sawed a quarter of cord of wood.
All the people were enjoined from feed
ing tramps at their homes, and the re-
suit has been perfect success. The
town has been cleared and the people
are pestered no more with men who
will not work. u.s."

AMERICAN INTERESTS IN HAVANA

1t Is said that the American residents
in Havana are becoming alarmed for
fear that In the event of an attack Of
the Cuban insurgents on that place the
protection afforded them would be In
adequate. 1t Is also said that there Is
not q single United States ship III that
port, and the fact increases the alarm
of the American residents. The WASH
ingon Star. commenting upon this stu,
alton of affairs. says:
'It Is understood that the Spanish
Minister here has assured the authors
ties that there Is no possibility of any
necessity for the presence of a warship
at Havana, and this may be taken as
q hint that Spain does not relish the
idea of q vessel being sent. Under the
circumstances the best policy, it seems,
would be to send a ship or two TO a
nearby port, to be ready in case or
emergency to be sent quickly to the
port where help might be needed. This
plan ought not to offend Spain and
should reassure the Americans In ua-
vana and convince them that they are
not being neglected by the homo Gov
eminent"
There are two sides to this question,
as to oil others, and If the American
residents at Havana feel the need OF
more protection than seems to be at
hand, 1t Is quite plain that they should
have 1t. and they should be assured
at once. If danger comes the vessels.

be stationed at n nearby port. might

vent the Government from giving It's
