Weatecn Hot Pots.

The HOytsville correspondent of the
COalville Times thus describes the Mid
way. Cal, hot pots:
The first of these wonderful freaks
of nature are half mile north of Mid
way. There are several of these pots
that look like an inverted bowl fifteen
to twenty feet high, with hole in the
top twenty feet across. nearly full Of
bubbling hot water, the limestone crust
surrounding them running to a thin
edge and undermined. Substances of
any kind thrown in will petrify and
form into hard stone. Others of this
form are now dry, the bottom being
sealed over with the lime formation.
One of these is used for a pigpen and
another for billiard hail. the top hav-
ing been rooted over. The largest pot
is about mile further up. This pot is
located on broad fiat and is fifty or
more feet high. They are now driv-
ing a tunnel at it's base to it's center to
tap it, although a steady stream runs
from the top. The lime produced from
these pots is the best in the country"

KILLED FROM AMBUSH.
Arizona Moonshiners WayIay a Posse
of United States Deputfes.

OF United states Deputies.
Six men were probably massacred in
the wilds of the mountains of Pope Coun-
ty, Ark. Two were killed outright, two
were fatally wounded and left for dead
and two have mysteriously disappeared
and a1e either dead or being held captive
by the bloodthirsty bandits who commit
ted the awful crime.
+ The victims were all officers, United
States deputy marshals and deputy sher-
ifs, and the men who did the awful work
of carnage are moonshiners of the boldest
and most desperate class. The scene of
the bloody crime was a gulch or ravine in
the mountains of Pope County at an iso-
lated spot thirty-five miles from Russell
vile, the nearest telegraph office, and ten
miles from Will Springs. The region has
for years been the favorite RENDEZVOUS for
counterfeiters and moonshiners and a dis
trict in which no lawabiding citizen could
live.
Marshal Taylor, with his posse. located
large moonshine outfit Saturd ly night
and decided to make the raid Sunday in
daylight. Proceeding Slightly in advance
Of his men, Taylor was within thirty feet
of the distillery when he was suddenly
fired upon from ambush and instantly
killed. AS Dodson ran up to Taylor he was
also shot dead in his tracks. Rifles began
to crack in all directions and a terrific
volley was fred into the officers. Two
fell mortally wounded and lay by the road
side until later in the day, when traveller
named Pack CHANGED by. All traces of the
bandits had disappeared, as well as two
of the deputy sheriffs.
The United States marshal will make
determined effort to capture the murder.

BIG HAUL OF GRAIN.
Railroads Bring Chicago Over 800,
Cars in One Day,

Railroads Bring Chicago Over 5000
Cars in One Day.
The roads running to Chicago from the
West and Northwest are doing the largest
business they have ever done before at
this season of the year. Monday was a
record breaker. Over 5000 carloads of
grain were brought in by the Western
roads. This means over 100000 tons of
grain in one day, or more than three times
as much as the ten east-bound roads took
from the city during the whole of last
week. OF the above mentioned 5000 car
loads Of grain, $500 carloads were corn.
The Burlington brought in LOO cars and
the Rock Island over 300 cars, and they
ran short of rolling stock.
While the lake lines took out Of Chica 90
last week nearly 100000 tons Of freight
the largest amount on record-the Cbica 90
east-bound roads are carrying no more
through freight than they did at this time
last year. The rea son is the rates charged
by the railroads are higher than the traffic
will bear.
Total shipments Of -four, grain, and pro.
visions from Chicago through to seabOard
points and for export by the ten east.
bound roads last week amounted to A 349
tons, against 4O,153 tons for the week
previous and 41,117 tons for the CORE
spending week last year. Flour shipments
last week were 2,510 tons, against 5.32S
tons last year; grain. 80, ,4SS tons. against
2O,SJ1 tons; provisions, 1851 tons.
against 493S tons.

Terrible Heredffy

A special study of hereditary drunk
enness has been made by Professor
Pellman of Bonn University, Germany.
His method was to take certain indi-
vidual cases, generation or two back.
He thus traced the careers of children.

in all parts of the present German En-
pire Until he was able to present tabtl-
lated biographies of the hundreds de-
scended from some original drunkard.
Notable among the persons described
by Professor Pellman is Frau Ada
Jurke, who was born in 1740. and was
n drunkard, a thief, and tramp for the
last forty years of her life, which end
ed in 1900. Her descendants numbered
1884, of whom 100 were traced in local
records from youth to death. One hun

FACTS ABOUT LIGHTNING.


Kills eco People and pestroys Prop.
erty Worth Sl.5oO.O6O Yearly.
From a report issued by direction Of
the Secretary of Agriculture it seems
that the average death rate from light.
ming in the United States is trife
more than 200. Practically all of the
fatalities occur in the months of April,
May, June, July, August and Septem-
Der. The maximum death rate occurs
in June and July. There have been a
few people killed in November and
December. but the weather bureau has
no record Of death from lightSing in
January or February
The financial loss from fires caused
by lightning for eight years averaged
n tritie more than 81, 800. 600 per year.
Lightning has preference for some
soils. Thus, where the soil is of a
chalky formation lightning will strike
but one-Seventh as often as where the
soil Is sand. Clay soil will be struck
twenty-five times to once in the chalky
formation.
The bolts also have preference for
certain trees. Oaks are struck more
frequently than any other tree, and the
birch is rarely victim. 1t does not
seem possible that oak trees are struck
more than fifty times to one beech
tree. but the weather bureau reports
show such to be the case. Pines are
struck about one-third as often as
oaks.
The danger from lightning is much
less in the city than in the country, the
ratio being about one to five. In rec
ord of eighteen deaths due from light
ming one was killed inside building,
eleven were outdoors and six were un-
der trees
AS a rule lightning tnat strikes tree
does no further damage. In only three
cases out of one hundred did the bolt
Jump from one tree to another.
Lightning does not always strike
The earth or an earthly object. Occa-
sionally the discharge is from the earth

current merely passes from one cloud

Aphorisms by a Queen.

Aphorisms from royalty are so rare
in these days of self-effacing greatness
that it is advisable to put on record
even attempts which may not be strik-
ingly original. Queen Natalie of Servia
has just published n whole volume OF
them. Half dozen or so will be quite
enough to show their quality:
"A moment of apathy may render SUI
perfluous a whole existence of the
greatest energy.
"A woman is like blind man, she
goes ahead even when she falls.
"A woman always loves only the man
who can master her.
THE passionate woman fights
against her lot, but she finishes by
yielding.
''The young woman is an angel; take
care that she does not become, woman
like, a devil.
"A heart tried too far no longer
knows how to be happy.
Independence is not always happi-
ness.
Unhappy is he who has not expert
enced the happiness of doing good.
Riches have only one eXcuse-bene.
ficence."

His Clever Rusc.

There is a member of Congress wht
does not live thousand miles away
from Pennsylvania and New Jersey
who has hit upon a very clever schem,
TO make himself solid throughout his
district. In fact, this Congressman is
continually hitting upon such schemes
and they extend so far that he can
probably represent his district as long
as ne wants or until his constituents
conclude TO put him in some other of
ce, the Gcvernorship Of his State, fol
instance.
His latest little scheme to bring him
self pleasantly to the recollection of n
large number of his constituents is
unique. There are several hundred
postoffices in his district, and, of course
the usual number of applicants for each
one. The Endorsements of the appll
cants are on file at the PoStoffice De
partment, and usually contain long
the office.
When the Congressman makes rec.
ommenGation of a man for any post
office he takes the list of the mans in
dorsers and sends each one personal
letter much after this fashion:
"In accordance with your recon-
mendation have to-day named --
for postmaster at -"
Each man who receives such letter
Immediately has new idea of his owD
power in politics, and is pleased tc
think that his Congressman recognizes
his Importance. In any case the receipt
of a personal letter from n member of
Congress is apt to tickle the vanity of
private citizen.-Philadelph Press.

A MARRYING MAN.

The first girl l married was plain Bessie
Brown.
A sunny and silly sweet thing,
Who simpcred and sighed ut being a

And wearing n wedding ring.
The next was widow, n Mrs. Malone,
With seven small boys in her brood.

l needed the money for food.
The next one l welded was Alice Adair,
A beauty of fortune and worth.
She lived but year-too gentle, too
dear,
Altogether too fragile for earth.
l married German then-Gretchen Won
Schmidt,
Two hundred and forty she weighed.
Oh, she was a cook! Not much on the
look,
But a wife who was stoIid and staid.
l married another. A negress was she,
Her mother a broken down slave.
She was tidy and neat, some distance
from sweet,
But she was wife who could save.
l then married Mollie, sister of mine,
As wife she was queen of them all.
She had lots of children and troubles and
joys,
And her home was n paradise hall.
| married my mother, a widow, and then
l welded my brother, n man.
l married Smiths daughters then-six l

And I'll marry six more if l can.
A bigamist? Well, what do you think?

For / am a minister humble and meek,
And they are all lambs of my fold.

An IMPORTANT DECISION REGARD-
ING ADDITIONAL ENTRIES TO
FINALLY PROVED CLAIMS.

Receiver Of Public Moneys john
ston, Of the local land Office, has
received from the general land Of
fee the text Of IN important deci-
sion BY Acting Secretary Ryan re-
lative to the right to make an addi-
tional homestead entry under sec-
ton s OF the act Of March. 1889.
Nancy A. Stinson. who in 1888
entered half OF ! quarter section,
o. eighty acres, for which she made
final proof and became owner in
1894, desired IN 1895 to enter the
adjoining half Of the same quarter
section, in order to secure the l60
acres which she was under the
homestead laws entitled to enter At
first This application Of tue sec
ond entry was denied, it being helo
by the land Office that she wes not
entitled 70 make the additional en-
try, the right to make the additional
entry being limited BY section 5.
which had TO be taken in conjcnc-
zion with section 6, to those who
had made final proof prior to the
passage Of the act OF 1889 While
Mrs. Stinson had entered the land
in 1883 she had not made final
proof until 1894
Mr.. Ryan overrules this de-
cision and declares Mrs. StinsOn
entitled to enter the additional
eighty acres to complete The legal
quota Of l6O acres. Mr.. Ryan
points out that section 5 simply
refers to those who had entered
claims prior to the passage OF the
act, whereas section s referred to
all those who had prior to that
time or who should thereafter make
final proof and receive flnal certi-
licates under entries for less than
l6O acres could enter additional al
jacent ground to make the quota
Of 16O acres.
Section 5, it 10 further pointed
out, authorizes homestead enterels
on uncompleted claims to make the
additional entry necessary fol l60
acres without proof Of residence
and cultivation OF the additional
entry, whereas section s, having
reference to additional entries by
those who have made final proof.
requires full compliance With the
residence and cultivation clauses
before the making OF final proof and
the establishment Of absolute own.
ership Of the additional entry.
