Certainly AN Oddity

Says the Albany Democrat: Lloyd
Montgomery is certainly an oddity,
moral enigma. He seems to have as
little regard for his word as for human
life. To a person who has called on
him several times since he was SEN.
fenced he has doggedly insisted that
his first confession in which he alleged
that McKercher killed his parents, and
he killed McKercher, was correct. and
that he would have persisted in this
story if not practically forced to make
the other statement, and that If he had
been permitted to confess when SEN
fenced, this was the one he intended
to make. He claims in the story he ia
now telling that before the shooting
McKercher asked his father if he had
sold his hops. and the answer was
''yes on yesterday" and Immediately
after the shooting began, implying
that McKercher did it for the money.
This is the worst kind of fabrication,
and it Is not true that he vas forced to
give the full confession to any one.
His statement before the grand jury
particularly was as voluntary as any.
thing ever given. The matter simply
shows the peculiar caliber OF this young
man.
Montgomery is now having great
time with the Fox brothers, fiddling,
singing, etc., entirely oblivious Of the
future. He says he is willing to die
for what he did, but is going to have
a good time before hand.

CAPTURED AT LAST.
After Four Years Two Alleged Horse
Thieves are Neatly Ragged.

After Four Years Two Alleged Horse
Thieves are Neatly Bagged.
About four years ago man by the
name of Parker and his Oldest son, says
the La Grande Chronicle, skipped the
country and with. them disappeared
some horses. Warrants were at once
sworn out but the men succeeded in
eluding the officers and made good
their escape. They have kept out of
sight for nearly four years but at last
they were located and are now in the
Union county jail awaiting trial.
Sheriff PLY got track of the alleged
horse thieves some time ago and located
them in some small place in Nevada
where he had them captured. Deputy
McLachlin was sent after the men and
arrived with them today. They are
now lying in the county Jail.
The fate of these men closely demon
strates the impractibility of criminals
trying to escape. The system of ex-
changing information from one sheriff
to another is so perfect that about the
only way criminal can escape pun
ishnent is by death. The officials are
so vigilant that there is scarcely
possibility of escape apd this is one of
the great factors in keeping down
crime.

a Curious Parasite.

1t is an old saying that every dog has
his day. According to an English au-
thority, that day is neither very long
or specially comfortable in Fiji. 1t Is
impossible to keep foreign dogs alive
for much more than 4 couple OF years.
Those born there may live four years.
The cause OF this mortality is a species
of worm that lives in the blood vessels,
arteries and heart. Adult specimens
OF this parasite sometimes measure as
much as five inches, and the blood of
some animals is actually swarminr
with them. Puppies are often troubled
with them. although it seems to take
about six months to develop them to
troublesome stage. When dog is at
tackled, it begins with sharp barking.
which is at once recognized as the be-
ginning of poor Fiao's last chapter.
Thus far no remedy has been found or
even suggested. The same parasite is
found in dogs in eastern Asia, and
identical symptoms are noted. The
animal may live six months to two
years after the FIRST indications are NIB.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin in
It's annual review of the wool trade
says:
Wool, at the close of the year, aver
ages cents secured pound hiTher
than at the beginning. Boston did the
largest business in her history, the
sales for the year being 230, $50, ,375
pounds. of which 154,334,773 were
domestic and 76.4lo,6OO pounds we're
foreign. This surpasses even the large
record of 1892, when the sales were
ls0, ,447 800 pounds.
These sales represent actual trans
actions, but as many of them are sales
to spectators. the delivery movement
more accurately represents the con-
sumption. The total receipts of wool
in bags, in Boston, were:

The American clip in 1895 was but
249. .256, 726 pounds, against 325,2l0, 0,712
in 1894.
The latest treasury statement Is to
show that we imported 2ll.057, ,0le
pounds OF foreign wool in the first 10
months of 1895, against SO, ,27O
pounds in the first 10 months of 1894.
The exports of American wool were
ATT 1903 pounds against s49,5lo in the
first 10 months of 1894.
The stock on hand in Boston is a.

pounds foreign, against 32, l6,60O
pounds domestic and 6,175,500 pounds
foreign at this time last year.

DON'T WRAP UP THE LAMP.
Disastrous Attempt to Regulate an L



Several hotel men were standing in q
group in al uptown hotel recently,
chatting. The conversation turned
upon the eccentricities OF guests. The
many odd ways in which different peo-
pie handle electric lights came up, says
the New York Tribune, and one hotel
man said:
Nearly everyone now knows how
the ipcandescent lamp is operated, but
still we meet with some funny il
stances Of ignorance. Last week we
nearly had our hotel set On fire on ac-
count OF a piece OF stupidity on the
part Of a guest. Tho building being
freproof alone prevented q cordagra-
ton. a woman came to the house who
was il the habit Of sleeping with dim
light IN the room, aad the elccCrlc
lamp bothered her.
She either had to let it burn brightly
OF else turn it OF altogather. Finally
she hit 1cea the idea Of wrapping {
towel around it. Then she began to
question whether the towel would
catch fire. Then she adopted the happy
expedient OF wctting the towel. That
was the worst thing that she could do.
She soon dropped asleep, and, OF
course, the towel soon began to burn.
A blazing piece dropped on the cur
tains, and soon the whole room was
afre. She was badly scared, and, Of
course, the contents of the room were
ruined

snakes rattooed py sailors.

The sailors of the Gulf of Mexico and
the equatorial regions of the Atlantic
ocean amuse themselves, and also turn
an occasional honest penny, by captur-
ing both large and small snakes of the
variety known as the lemon boa and
covering their bodies with tattooed let
tcrs and designs. One Of these living
manuscripts was recently exhibited at
Egyptian hall, London. Thousands OF
these tattooed snakes are annually dis
posed of at Rio de Janeiro. The buyers
generally kill these snakes and either
skin them or preserve the entire reptile
in alcohol. Such specimens are highly
priced by both European and North
American collectors of curiosities.

at least, rarely develops into Crnsus

A Natural Result.

Christmas eve for Montana, is again
in the city. He took the train feeling in
the best of spirits. Indeed, that seems
to have been the trouble. The coach
grew too hot and the motion "too
many" for him, SO he went out on the
car platform to cool off. Here he went
to sleep in all probability. At any
rate he came to himself late in the
night on discovering his anatomy on
the ground by the track, whisky
bottle and hat with a rock in it
lying near-and his ankle broken. He
was brought back to the city by the
next train, and now lies in the hospital
undergoing treatment.-Yakima Re.

Public attention has lately been called
in Sydney to the serious increase Of
gambling in that city. The local in
spector general Of police has made re-
port on the subject, in which he says
that the evil is largely on the increase
and that o considerable number of the
men traficlzing in it are making large
fortunes ut the cost of their victims.
In twenty months there have boon four
hundred convictions for gambling, and
fines of various amounts have been i'm
posed, but the traffic goes on flourish
ing in such a way as to demonstrate
that the fines are utterly futile as de-
torrents, and that they bear but small
proportion to the profits. When the
