Americans are the most inventive
people on earth. To them have been
issued nearly 100000 patents, or more
thanone-third OF all the patents issued in
the world. No discovery of modern
years has been of greater benefit to
mankind than Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrh1a Remedy, or has
done more to relieve pain and suffering.

ENDING OFA0LUB SCANDAL

q dispatch from New York says: The
latest phase of the once celebrated
shooting atfray between Major William
Hancock Clark and Wilton Randolph
in front OF the clubhouse of the South
ern Society, is the proposed dismissal
of the indictment against Major Clark.
The charge is assault in the first degree
and the punishment for the ofiense is
not less than five nor more than ten
wears in State prison. Major Clark
first appeared in the city nearly twenty
wears ago. He comes of an illustrious
southern family and he saw service IL
the late Confederate army. He was I'D
inspector in the customs service for
some wears end ne has also served a.
clerk in the New York city bureau Of
accounts. He was Que of the earliest
members of the Southern Society.
Wilton Randolph, another prominent
member OF the Southern Society, be
came involved in dispute with Major
Clark in the society s clubhouse on Jan
uary 10, 1890 No one has yet told OF
the origin of the trouble. Whatever
the cause of the quarrel, the principal Is
walked out on the stoop Of the CLUB
house, both much excited.
Mr.. Randolph aimed blow which
struck on Msior Clark's cheek with q
loud smack. The maj or fell back dazed
and with slight cut caused by Mr..
Randolph's ring.
Mr.. Randolph walked triumphantly
down the stoop and sauntered towards
Broadway. Msi. Clark drew revolver
and fired at Mr.. randolph. Mr.. Ran
do'ph's saunter became brisk walk. An
other crack of the pistol, and Mr. Ra' dolpi
began TO Jog. third shot sent him into the
Hoffman House at N tremendous pace pale,
big-eyed and painting.
Give me a pistol sir" he said TO tn
clerk "and I'll teach the cowardly scoundrei
to shoot az an unarmed man.
But porters and clerks held Mr.. Randolph
None of the bullets had hit him. Major
Clark sauutered home. 1t was not unhI
three days later that Major Clark was al
raigned in Jefferson Market Police Court. lie
declared that re shot only to defend himself
from Mr.. Randolphs fist blow, and that he
ceased firing AS soon as Mr.. Randolph said Il
am unarmed.'
Nevertheless the major was indicted on
January 16. 1890, and held in $4,000 bail,
which was furnished by Rroker Vernon K.
Stevenson. he trial was set for March -,
1890, but when the time came it was found
that Major Clsrk had disappeared. The bail
bond was forfeited.
Mr. Randolph died June IS, 1896. Msjor
Clark returned to the city few months ago
The case is on the calendar before Judge Nc
Mahon in the court of general sessions
District Attorney Olcott has recommended
the dismissal OF the Indictment on the ground
that. owing to the death of the chief witness,
it would be practically impossible to secure
conviction.

DEATH OF "OwNEY. "-"Owney," the
dog traveller, is dead. Like many a
two-footed cosmopolitan, "Owney" was
not improved by sightseeing. He de-
veloped bad temper. At Cleveland,
O., on Friday last he "bit brakeman
and was shot by cop" Ieglorious
end "Owney" was born at Albany
n. Y, about dozen years ago. Since
then ne has travelled on mail cars
all over the country. He usually wore
a collar to which were attached scores
of badges and checks, showing the ex
tent OF his travel. Two years ago he
travelled around the world via San
Francisco, Yokohama, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Suez and Liverpool.

Galveston, Has a 20
Cant Rate

Galveston. June S.-"No wonder the
people of Kansas and Nebraska are
kicking" said Commissioner J. B. Den
ison of the Galveston freight bureau
yesterday, and he handed a reporter a
slip of paper he had been doing some
figuring upon, showing the rates on
corn to New Orleans from points along
the Illinois Central, together with the
rates on the same product from Kansas.
Oklahoma, Indian Territory, and Ne
braska points to- Galveston.
The showing was startling, especial
~ on corn for export. Centralia, Ill, is
$50 miles from New Orleans on the IL
linois Central and Purcell, I. T., is 51S
miles from Galveston on the Santa Fe.
The rate on export corn from the form
er city is u cents, from the latter 2212
cents. Vanda.lia is $50 miles from New
Orleans and Arkansas City is 672 miles
from Galveston, yet the rate from Van
dalia is II cents against a rate of 26
cents from Arkansas City. A u cent
rate also prevails from Mendoza, Ill,
S72 miles from New Orleans, While from
Abilene, Kan, to Galveston, SAT miles,
the rate is q cents.
On local shipments a similar dis
crepancy exists. The Illinois Central
will haul corn from Sioux City, Iowa, to
New Orleans, 1873 miles, for 81 cents. A
rate of 81 cents exists from OsWego,
Kan, to Galveston, GAS miles, while from
Hastings, Neb., 1859 miles, the most
distant point at which a rate is quoted
to Galveston in Mr.. Denison'S figures, it
is SO cents.

GIRL SHOOTS A BEAR.
Chases Bruin for Miles and Then Puts
a Bullet 6quarely Through
His Heart.

Osceola, n. Y, June 8.-Never before
have bears been so plentiful in north
ern New York as they are at present.
Matters have come to such a pass that
the farmers daughters dare not go out
alone at night. The region has been
almost entirely devastated of sheep and
even COWS are kept under constant sur
veillance The bears are fairly tame,
however, and show little disposition to
bother the farmers personally unless
provoked.
A thrilling bear hunt is just ended
near .OsceOIa. a leading farmer here,
A J. BrOckway, has been suffering
from the raids of the bears on his sheep
fold They even went so far as to
carry off the very trap he had baited
for them This was too much for
Farmer Brockway, who forthwith or
ganized a bear hunt. Blanche ana
Hattie, the two pretty daughters or the
farmer, insisted on going with MN.
Blanche and her dog took one trail
and after five mile run they found a
great brown bear. The hound sailed
in and received a cuff that sent him
rolling in the bushes. Miss Blanche
never weakened. The noise attracted
the elder BrOckway, Miss Hattie and
boy. who came upon run. Broln
was evidently frightened at the rein
forcements. for he broke and ran with
the bear-trap hanging from his left fore
foot Miss Blanche and her dog kept
close to Mr.. Bruins heels, and after a
rim Of three miles more he was brought
TO a standstiu by the trap catchns on
a saDling. There Blanche succeeded IA
nntting a bullet through the bear
heart. He weighed 500 pounds.
