SHE HATES MEN AND DOGS.
A Spinster Farmer Shoots at a Man
Who Attempts to Cross Her Land.

Binghamton, Nov. 11-Miss Augusta
Main, spinster runs farm near the VIII
lage of New Berlin. She performs all the
work on the place without any male as
slstance, and does it well. She has an
intense dislike for the male sex in general
and has as little to do with them as pos
sible. When she discovers a man on her
premises she drops all work and makes
him skedaddle. If, when ordered away
the man or men do not hurry she urges
them along with a pitchfork or any other
implement that happens to be handy. AS
a consequence the men folks give her
plenty of room, and those who are ac-
quainted with her gentle manners will al
most go out of their way rather than
cross her land.
Myron Beebe is a neighbor of Miss
Main, and for a long time he has dared
to cross her premises to get water from
a well. 1t saved him a long walk and he
took the chances. "A few days ago. while
Beebe was making the usual short cut
to the well, Miss Main came out of her
house with big revolver, and, without
any parleying, she opened fire on the
man. He ran for dear life while the
bullets whistIed about his ears. When
he got home he found that out of the six
shots fired two had perforated his over-
alls which he wore, while another had
torn hole in the rim of his hat. The
other three bullets came within such
close proximity that their whistle still
rings in his ears. Beebe got out a war
rant for Miss Main. and she was held in
81, 900 bail for the grand jury for assault
with intent to kill.
Miss Main told the justice that there
were two things she hated in this world.
and they were dogs and men. and she
added: 4 never see either but what I
ache to kill them

JUDGES TOUCHED UP
For Assuming THAT People Can not
Conduct Their Own Affairs.

Indianapolis, Nov. 1.-THE city attorney
has filed in the United States court of
appeals a Chicago a brief in the three
cent fare case, in which he claims that
the order appealed from by the city was
enormously issued, and that after the de-
cision of the supreme court of Indiana
holding the statute to be constitutional
that decision should have been acquieseed
in and the injunction dissolved. He also
calls attention to decisions by other
courts that every possible presumption ia
vors the validity of the statute, and he
adds:
There has been manifested in some
quarters in recent years such distrust as
to the ability of the people to act wisely
through their representatives. and such
a disposition to declare law invalid, that
it is well now and then to make promi-
nent this rule which has been the guide
of most courts"
The point emphasized is that it is a
matter of Indifference whether the statute
is of general or special legislation. The
question is wholly one with the legisla-
ture, and as shown by supreme court rul-
ing one in conformity with the constitu-
ton of the state. The question at issue
is really one of cheaper fare, and in no
way does it attack the existence of the
street car company nor interfere with its
right to the streets, etc.

TO PUT OUT A FIRE.
But Couldn't Put Out Fire of
Republican Enthusiasm.

The Republican f1ambeau club had
a large audience at its ratification last
night, and the turning in of a fire alarm
was responsible for part of it.
The meeting was called to discuss
politics in general, but that was soon
given up, and o. K. Swayze, who had
just read in the Journal that he is to
be deputy county clerk, said he thought
that the fambeau club should ceIe-
brate the recent Republican victory
When Oscar decides to celebrate, you
can depend on it, something is going to
move.
He rummaged around in the property
room and came out dragging several
packages of red fire and two or three
boxes of roman candles, sky rockets
and a half dozen bombs left over from
the Fall Festival
The members of the club entered in
to the spirit of the occasion, and a lad
der was found which was placed so that
a man might crawl into the attic, and
the ascent to the roof from that place
was not difficult. SwayZe was the first
man into the attic, and he was followed
by H. NJ. Phillips, the county treasurer
elect and others. The fire works were
dragged up through the opening ana
carried to the roof.
Swayze carried a package of red fire
to the edge of the roof on the street
side and ignited it. 1t blaZad up, throw
ing a Iurid glare on the buildings oppo-
store smoking. He jumped to his feet
and looked toward the fire. 1t appeared
that the whole roof of the building op-
posite was ablaze, and he rushed fran
tically across the street to E. Il. Sim s
store and called UP central"
There is a big fire at the corner of
Fifth and Kansas avenue, said he
Send the fire department at once"
1t was only a few moments until
there was a clatter of horses hoofs and
the fire apparatus, headed by Chief Will
marth, drew up in front of the burning
building"
"Hurrah for Cook shouted a dozen
voices, and that many heads prOtruded
over the coping.
What is the trouble?'' shouted Chief
Wilmarth Where do you want us 20
''Hurrah for Cook! Hurrah for Cook!"
came from the top of the building.
Chief Wilmarth looked disgusted, ard
the drivers of the wagons said some
things.
The chief went up into flambeau
headquarters, however, and the whole
thing was explained to him. He laugh
ed and shook Charlie McCabe's hand
as if he really enjoyed the affair.
Meanwhile the fire alarm had called
a thousand people to the scene, but
when the shouts were heard they un-
derstood that it was a political celebra-
ton, and not a fire.
Many thought that the occasion of
the celebration was the withdrawal of
the Kepley contest.

Facts Pertaining to Boyd.

Topeka Kan, Nov. 10, 1897.
To the Editor of the State Journal
1t is so very seldom that the Journal
is in error, an error of any description is
very noticeable, and the smallest one
is worthy of correction. Your state
ment that during the Lewelling ad-
ministratiOn Richard Boyd was let off
his job as guard at the city prison by
the board" is incorrect. Mr.. Harrison
was mayor at the time, and let Mr..
Boyd out to make room for another col
Ored man, Mr. Lloyd The board did
not believe that Mr.. Harrison had any
authority over the city prison, and his
new appOintee, Mr.. Lloyd, was permit
ted to shiVer around on the outside. The
board were of the opinion that Boyd
was a good man for the place and that
because of his injuries received while
in the employ of the city, he was en-
titled to a place as long as he was able
to fill it, and the board reappointed
him, and made a slight increase in his
salary. The council compelled Mr..
Harrison to recall his man.

PERU MUST Pay UP.
Another Note is Sent Regarding the
MeCord Claim.

Washington. Nov. lit is under
stood that the state department has
addressed another note to the Peruvian
minister, politely, but firmly. request
ing a speedy settlement of the claim
for indemnity of Victor H. McCOrd, an
American citizen, who was ill-treated
by the Peruvian officers While in charge
of railroads in that country during a
rebellion.
to this country with the expressed pur-
pose of settling this claim, and he re-
peatedly sought to get the state depart
ment to reopen the investigation of the
facts in the case.
The department. however, declined to
do this, being satisfied with the presen-
tation of the case made through its
own minister and agents, and so has
fallen back on the strong note sent last
year by Mr.. Olney, insisting on a set
tIement of the claim. 1t is held that
nothing now remains but to adjust the
sum to be paid McCord, and $50, 900 is
mentioned as a proper figure, being
about half the original claim. More
over, it is believed that no opening is
left by the department for arbitration
or anything short of an immediate ac-

settlement as the price of the friend

TESTING "LARD" HOGS.
Berkshirea Have a Slight Preferenc ce
in the Market

Washington. Nov. n.-Director Curtiss
of the Iowa experimental station has sub
mitted to Secretary of Agriculture Viii
son a comparative report on English and
American lard hogs, embracing the re-
suits of tests to determine the best for
food and the prices received for each
breed. The report states that the mar
ket discrimination between the breeds is
very slight, only 10 cents a hundred
pounds in favor of the Tamworts and
Rerxsbires the English breeds. They
sold for $3.50 per hundred, while all the
others brought $50. All the breeds of
hogs tested made pork at substantially
the same price for raising, feeding. etc,
about cents per pound. Secretary Will
son says that while the demand abroad
may be greater for the bacon hogs than
for the other the demand for lard hogs
is as great here as ever.
