- CUNT ESTERHAZY, the retired
~ major of the French army who
brought about the conviction
and imprisonment of Captain Dreyfus
on a charge of furnishing Germany
with French military secrets is him
self in a pretty tight box. This morn
ing's dispatches announce that he has
got to stand court martial on some very
serious charges A few days ago his
room was forcibly entered during his
absence and a good many of his personal
effects were seized, among them certain
letters which, if they are authentic,
prove plainly that the count is warm
friend of Germany. if not indeed a Ger
man spy. In one of the letters said TO
be in Esterhazys own handwriting he
states that as captain of Uhlans he
would gladly sabre Frenchmen, for
whom he expresses intense adherence.
This letter has been reproduced in fac
simile by the Figaro, the publishers of
which journal affirm the authenticity
of the document as beyond question.
Esterhazy says it's forgery. However
that may be. the Figaro has succeeded
in proving Esterhazy guilty of false
hood in other matters. His violent ami
mostly towards Dreyfus is not to his
credit He pushed the case against the
captain with bitter zeal. If it should
turn out that he put up job on Drey-
fus, it is to be hoped that the punish
! ment will fit the crime. If his guilt is
| proved, he assuredly ought to receive a
hatsher sentence than that which il is

A Falling OFF.

~HAT good old truepenny, the
story of an eagle carrying off a
child, has made its annual APP
pearance, a little late in the season. it
is true but as whole and sound as ever,
showing few If any of the effects of
time and wear. This year the story
has a Blackwater, Mo, date line.
Blackwater has never been known to
fame before, but it bded its time and
now it suddenly flashes out bright and
beautiful as star of the first magni-
tude. The eagle-and- story it sends
out presents important variations upon
the customary eagle-and child story as
it was known TO our forefathers and
has come down with annual regularity
through generations. if not ages. Tsu
ally the baby is playing out ON the
lawn while it's mother is doing the
washing by the wood shed door, and
it's father is hoeng corn in the ten
acre lot next to the south pasture. The
eagle at a vast height. perceiving the
innocent baby and it's defenseless con-
dition, suddenly swoops down with a
great swoop. Embedding his fierce
talons in the babys clothes, the eagle
gives a terrible scream and with fear
full rapidity ascends back to the vast
height aforesaid. The mother, with
admirable presence of mind, screams
somewhat louder than the eagle and
thereby attracts the attention of the
father, who drops his hoe and flies from
the ten-acre lot to the house. Grasping
his trusty musket, he takes accurate
aim and sends a bullet crashing into
the soaring eagles skull. The baby
drops unnjured inuo its mothers out

measures the eagle and finds ii eighteen
feet and nine inches from tip to tip Of
