ATTACKED BY GIANT CRANES.
They Killed Henry James Dog and
Fatally Injured James.
From the New York WorlI


Crockston, Mimi, June 14.-Henry
James of Black Duck, this county, is dy-
ing of injuries sustained in a fight between
himself and his dog on one side and a
large rookery of blue cranes that eongre-
gate in large numbers every summer in
a spruce grove in a swamp in the south
western part Of Beltrami county. James
dog was killed and he himself was just
able to crawl away from the birds, only
to fall exhausted in a Well-beaten trail,
where he was found by the rest of his
party.
James says he was attracted by the
yelping of mis- dog, some distance in adj
vance, and at the same time the air
seemed to be alive with cranes. The dog
ran towards James, pursued by scores of
the birds, which, when James came in
view, attacked him, too. His gun was of
little use, for the birds were too numerous
and fianked him on every side. He was
struck in the back of the neck by the
beak of the cranes and knocked down. The
blood spurted from a wound like that
made by a sharp knife. That blow was
probably all that saved James from in
advantage only from the air, and as James
recovered his wits he intuitively reached
for his gun and opened fire on the birds,
Keeping It up as long as the supply of
cartridges lasted.
In the mean time the dog on reaching
his master had turned and showed fight
and had been killed James took the first
chance of crawling away in the dense
brush. The next morning William Hines
and two others went to the rookery and,
belng tOrWarned, were enabled to shoot
four of the BIRDS one of them stood z
feet inches high and measured s feet 4
lnehes across the wings

leaves are usually torn TO ribbons by the
sf-de winds and are ten feet long A
into thin muslin. Green bananas are
dried and ground into flour, which IS
baked in cakes. This fruit is so common
mat one OF the huge punches We see in
me grocery stores may be purchased in
the tropics for . cents and in the plant
eTs homes a bunch always hangs.
II Is claimed that plantain trees grew
in the garden Of Eden The fruit is much
the same as the banana but larger. The
breadfruit tree, another tropical plant
is native of the islands of the Pacific
and grows wild in the forests II has
large glossy leaves and the fruit looks
lhv 2 ~ ushmelon, the inferior OF Wulch
tastes ike new bread or batter pudding.
II Is fried in slices or baked like scallop-
ed oysters.
The jackfruit is from the south seas
and is a long gourd-like growth, weigh
ing from twenty 10 sixty pounds It's
popularity Is that often the fruit grows
diIeclly from the trunk root or Two from
the ground, The numerous seeds are nu-
tritious and eaten like chestnuts-
tree Of great beauty is the Indian
tamarind. which has thick trunk, clus-
ters OF purple-yellOW flowers and such
fine, gassamer leal es that one of the pun
lshments spoken OF in the koran was that
lost souls should have in thousand
years to quench their thirst as much
water as one Of these leaves would con-
tain.
The papaw fruit suggests a pumpkin
in appearance and taste and a cluster of
a dozen are attached in mass to the
naked stem beneath the crown OF leaves.
They contain much pepsin, while the
leaves, If wrapped about tough meat, will,
in a short time, render it exceedingly ten
der.
The mango originally came from Hindo-
stan and is a fine tree forty feet high,
with leaves like those of the peach tree
and quantities of juicy yellow plums
hanging by long stems from the branches
The wild varieties have an unpleasant
flavor, like turpentine but the cultivated
kind, picked, are good.
The cleaning emerald leaves and brill
liant scarlet flowers of the pOmegranate
are a pleasant sight. These flowers have
always been highly esteemed; Moses was
commanded to make golden pomegran-
ates and their blossoms alternate on the
hem of the priestly garment Various
parts of the shrub used to be used as
medicine and the juice makes light but
indelible stain.

WATCH IN A CAN OF TOMATOES.
1t Had Been There for Two Years
and the Owner Proved the Prop

From the Indianapolis News.


From the Indianapolis News.
The finding of gold watch and chain in
can of tomatoes by an Indianapolis wo-
man brings out a remarkable story. The
find was reported and the circumstance
noted in the News, and the next day a
young woman who is employed in a can
merry appeared at the Office and identified
the watch and chain.
She lost them, she said, two years ago
and while employed at the factory, She
did not know how she lost them, and adj
vertised in the News at the time for sew
eral days. She says this would have dis
covered the property if it had not been
sealed in can in storehouse She had
long ago bought a new one. The lost one
was dearer to her, however, both because
1t was prettier and because il was given
to her. Her theory is that the watch and
pendant chain dropped from her belt into
one of the elevator buckets of tomatoes
was carried to the filler and went through
the filler to the can. The bow or ring
which connects watch and chain was moi
found, and it is believed that this part was
not solid gold, and was, therefore eaten nv
the acid Of the tomatoes. The mainspring
was broken, but everything else kept in
tact during the two years handling of fine
can, and the watch is again as good as
new and Is keeping good time. The fore
man 70 the factory says that another
watch was lost by one of the girls las
year.

PENNOYER'S BOOM BUSTED.

When the returns which show
ed Pennoyer was elected mayor
of Portland came in, he electri-
fed the people by declaring he
would take only one half of the
salary allowed him. Every one
was surprised, none more so than
those who had noted his previous
propensity for peculation. AS
governor he had drawn from the
treasury 81, 900 each year in ex-
cess of the salary fixed by the
state constitution, and had been
strongly suspected of taking
bribes in exchange tor pardons.
Every one held their breath
when this man said he would
serve as mayor for one-half the
amount allowed him by the law.
One enthusiastic admirer propos-
ed him for president of the Uni
ted States, declaring he needed
no other platform but to go be-
fore the astonished people with
his novel and generous PROPOSE
ton. For fortnight we have
luxuriated in the contemplation
of one man who would take only
half of what he could get.
But the most beautiful mental
pictures are frequently destroyed
by inquisitive or meddlesone per-
sons. A prominent official who
takes his salary regularly, feeling
himself discounted by the gen.
erous mayor, asked him if he
really intended only to draw part
of his salary. With that urbane
smile which has covered such a
multitude of sins, the mayor re-
piled: "Not much I shall draw
the whole of my salary, but in
tend to give one-half of it away"
Ye gods ! what shall we do now
for some one to love? Is it pos
sible we will have to put up with
Mckinley after all? But dom t
let us forget to stand up close to
the mayor when he draws his SAL
ary-he is going to give half of it
away.

In the nomination of McKin-
ley the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people prevailed. With the
possible exception of Lincoln and
Blaine, no presidential candidate
of the republican party has been
so honored and idolized as Nc
Kin1ey. The demand for his
nomination emanated from the
voters at the primaries, then at
county conventions and finally at
state conventions where in near
1y every state of the union, ex-
cepting those having favorite
sons, delegates to the national
convention were instructed for
him. AS a result on the first bal
lot he received the nomination
with nearly 200 votes to spare.
Attempts of the bosses to prevent
his nomination proved futile.
Platt and Quay, whose n1anipu-
lations of political wires in pre-
vious presidential conventions
have become notorious, were with
numerous lesser lights, such as
Clarkson, opposed to his noni-
nation, yet they were unable to
stem the tide of public sentiment
in favor of the peoples choice.
His nomination was fitting
tribute to the man and a just
recognition of the cardinal prin-
ciple of republicanism-protec-
ton, of which he is the greatest
living exponent. He is without
doubt the strongest national can
didate that could have been
selected. No less prompt was he
in the defense of the republic
during the dark days of the civil
war than in later years in defend
ing its industries in the halls of
legislation, and by the agricul-
turists and workingnen of Amer
lea his nomination is regarded as
a harbinger of returning pros
perity.

For YOUR Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive dow OF
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits Of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.
