A GOATS YORACIOUS APPETITE

Devoured Mexico. Drank the Gulf Dry and
Ran Off With the United States.
Professor Short and his competent as
sistant, Mrs. Dozier, are seriously think
ing of suing the town for damages.
Just before the close of school Hon. j.
NJ. Griggs presented our teachers with
a beautiful map of the United States
one of those handsome maps printed by
one of the largest and best equipped
printeries in the world the government
printing Office at Washington, D. G. AT
ter the splendid commencement exercis-
es, which we all enjoyed so much, the
school building was deserted and the
happy children went their different ways
to enjoy vacation. Mrs. Dozier and Pro
fess0r Short, meyer thinking but that
their beautiful map was as safe as could
be, left it hanging in its proper place.
But that map, it seems, was destined to
destruction.
We have heard of climbing goats, but
ting goats and William goats, but never
heard of a geography goat before. How
ever, there is one in Morgan. This pc
culiar species of goat belongs to Master
Pickett Riley. He is very gentle and the
children of Morgan have enjoyed many
rides behind him. One day while mean
dering III seach of more knowledge, as
well as tobacco, cigar stumps, tin cups
and other articles of food peculiar to a
goats palate, Billy noticed the school
house door standing ajar and in he walk
ed. After an inspection of the temple OF
learning he spied the map. 1t was pref
ty, printed in so many different colors
on such nice cloth. Billie thought it the
incest piece of paper ever devoured by
one of his tribe, so he quietly went at it,
and when discovered he had devoured
Mexico, drank the gulf dry and ran out
with the United States in his mouth.
AS to whose fault it is that the map
has been destroyed the Monitor will not
attempt to say, but it is limited around
that Billie is Bower goat, and ate the
map just to spite Hon. Jim Griggs and
his cOnstituents.-Mor Monitor.

Rursted Reservoir Plays Havoc With Life
and Property.
The Melzingah reservoir, in the Fish
kill mountains, near Mattewan, n. Y
was bursted by heavy rams.
The water ran into creek, and two
miles below, near Duchess Junction,
washed away the brickyard buildings,
including two boarding houses occupied
by laborers.
Seven bodies were recovered. Two of
them were those Of Poor Muligan and
wife, who kept one of the two boarding
houses for brickyaru laborers that were
swept away. The names of the others
are not known.
1t is reported that twenty are still
missing.
Tons of earth ami sand washed down
in the flood and men are digging into
this mass to recover the other bodies.
STRUCK WITHOUT WARNING.
Burens and Timony's brickyards, on
the Hudson, just below Duchess juno
ton, are a mile distant from the site of
the reservoir. Without warning the
flood reached them through a rayne
and made terrific havoc. Buildings were
torn in pieces and their occupants were
carried away in the raging food.

It will thus be seen that Uncle Sam has
a trust worth having, and that his profits
are not to be despised by even a bloated

wed so much by other capitalists that
frequently other parties start into Il e

Swarmed Over the Body.
A special from Talbotton says that it
las developed that soon after Judge Butt
called the special term of the Talbot
court certain friends and relatives
Of Miss Owen found that the Ryd er case
would be continued on account of the
sickness of Mr.. Worrill, and then set
resolve was made to murder DR.. Ryder.
In arguing the motion for a continu-
ance Judge Martin, for the prosecution,
sta ed that the defendant had oprinued
the case twice, and if it was not stopped
there would never be trial.
This fastened the action of the mob.
AS a matter of fact the only other time
the case was continued was by the court
and not on the motion of the defend
ant.
The reason assigned today for the &C
tion of the mob is that the people were
tired of the case being continued, but the
fact is that the friends of the prosecu-
ton lad gwen up all hope of ever bring
ing Ryder to the gallows by reason of
his being totally insane.
There is now little doubt that the plan
10 lynch Ryder was made several days
preceding the date for tie case to be
called, the conspiracy having been form
ed on the suppoSition that the case
would necessarily have to be postponed.
1t is known that fifteen men composed
the mob. Their names are known, and
there is no doubt that the parties will be
prosecuted.
When the coroner cut DR.. Ry der's body
down next morning it was found that
the small cotton well rope used by the
lynchers had cut deep into the flesh of
the neck, his eyes were prOtruding from
their sockets and thousands of small
ants were on the body biting and sting
ing the clammy flesh. His clothing was
torn almost into shreds, was covered
with mud and the body gave evidence of
having been subjected to fearfully rough
treatment.
After the inquest the body was carried
to Talbotton and delivered over to the
brothers OF Dr. Ryder. His aged moth
er was Frustrated, and it is feared she
will never survive the shock. The body
was carried to Walden, the old Ryder
homestead, for interment.

people of Talbot county approve Of the
lynching OF Dr.. Ryder is mistake. Tai

MELTED SNOW POWER.
Swiss Towns That Utilize the l;ounta:a
 Streams,

Swiss Towns That Utilize the Mountain
 Streams.
 Besides considerable number Of large water power installations switzer- land is full of small power plants, nearly every town ill that land of mountains and waterfalls being well supplied with power from the white coal, " as the melting snow on the mountain sides has we'll been called. When there are no large streams, many small ones arc im- pounded and collected i'll reservoirs on the hillsides, and it is rare to find q place of any size which is not well lighted by the power of some mountain stream.
 At Montreux the electric tramway gets its power in this way, and from the old Roman town of Veyey to the me- diRyal castle of Chiffon one may ride in trolley ear propelled by the power of an insignificant little stream which may or may not be noticed when climbing up the hillsides just above.
 The capabilities of this general util- ization of natural power are beginning to be understood everywhere and, with the appreciation of the possibilities of the best methods of long distance trans mission. the development of many moun- tain streams mrst surely come. There are innumerable streams, which, while very small, are yet very high, and these can with comparatively little difficulty be impounded and carried down many hundreds of feet, thus making up for their lack of volume by the great pres sure readily obtainable, and, either by the use of electricity or compressed air, the power may be transmitted to many points of application with but little loss. -Cassier' Magazine.

 Blummer is one of our citizens who live well and do nothing. He tolls not, neither does he spin, and yet he and his family live in comfort that is not many removes from luxury. This has subjected Elummer to adverse crit ieism, which fairly laoerates his sensi- tive feelings, and he unbcsomed himself to . few friends the other evening while they were enjoying the good things he keeps on tap.
 There's not lazy bone in my body, J he began aggressiyely. "I'd rather work than eat, and I've always thought that had great business head on me. But the records against me. My father set me up in mercantile business, and when l had balance struck at the end of q year there was not enough left to make decent assignment On his death 1 came into Il handsome fortune, and I just thought I'd show my rela- tives how l had been misjudged by in- vesting secretly i'll q great southern land scheme. ] weLt down gleefully to look over my new purchase and gloat over my prospects.
