AN ILLINOIS CAVE.
Remarkable Find Near the Town of
Red bud.

Find Near the Town of
Red bud.
Preparations are being made to eX-
plore cave which was recently found
by some hunters, who accidentally dis
covered it while chasing a wounded
wildcat. The cave is situated in the re-
gions known as the "sink holes" eight
rifles west of Red Bud, Ill. The en-
rance is about seven feet in diameter,
but after entering the size varies, it
being % to % feet to the ceiling i'm some
places. The ceiling is studded with
large stalagmites. Large rocks Project
from the sides of the cave and are COW
cred with innumerable white points,
which by n dim light resemble stars.
The width does not vary so much, as it
IS about l6 feet wide at an points.
In the center of this cave flows a
stream of clear water, which contains
numerous small, eyeless fish. A num-
Der of them were caught and placed ON
exhibition here, but they lived only a
few days. The depth OF the stream is
from 90 to 80 feet. About two miles
from the entrance it empties into a
large lake, which varies in depth from
FIVE to 20 feet and lies beneath cell
ing about 100 feet from its surface.

DON'T FEEL PAIN.
The Kamr's Tough skin Is Very often
Great Protection.

Nearly everybody knows that the
Kalir has an extra skin beyond the
number apportioned to the white man,
and the fact Of this additional cuticle
may account for the extraordinary in
sensibility OF this race to physical pain.
The following facts are youched for by
q written as being absolutely correct:
In smithy near Bloemfontein one
afternoon some one noticed a strong
and puugent smell as of flesh burning.
On inquiry being made it was discov-
cred that stout Kafiir boy was stand
ing barcfOoted on a red-hot horseshoe
which had somehow fallen on the
ground. Strange as it may seem he
had not the slightest knowledge that
the burning mass was beneath his foot,
and, although an enormous blister was
soon raised, he averred that he felt no
pain whatever.
All black men have the reputation of
owning thick skulls, but what viii be
thought of the Kaiiir who fell from a
second-story window, about Is feet,
humping his head on the ground as he
fell, and who rose after a few seconds,
brushed the dust from his hair and pur-
sued his way, laughing at the incident?
Another instance of this extraordi-
nary insensibility to suffering comes
from a cycle makers shop in Johannes
burg A Kafir, in the course of his
work, had the whole of his forefnger
nail on the right hand torn off by the
machinery. In an instant he plunged
the mutilated member into a vat con-
tanning boiling alum and bore the pain
with simply a slight vince. By resort
ing to this course he showed himself
an adept in the art of self-cure, for a
day or two later the finger was pain
less, and the nail soon grew again. But
the extraordinary part of the business
is that a process which would probably
have made the ordinary white man lose
consciousness did nothing more in the
case of the Kaflir than elicit grin of
pain.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Met After the Convention, Organized and
Disposed of a Contest Case~-A spiendiu
ORGANIZATION i'm Belmont County.
After the adjournment Of the con-
vention last evening, the members OF
the county central committee held a
meeting in the convention hall and or
ganized. D. S. Dreamer, of st.
CIairsville. was made chairman, and
he was given power to select his own
secretary. The contest from the coun-
trv precinct of York township came up
for settlement. This was disposed of
Inv seating G.. w. Bonar, who was

gloomy for the party. This year there
was a spirited contest-the Democrats
scented victory and wanted office. He
said the convention had not chosen an
eloquent speaker as their standard
bearer, as all the eloquence that was
peeded was simply to point to the idle
workshops and smokeless factories to
remind us of the broken promises of a
once-great party that pledged them
selves to give prosperity to the coun-
try.
AS there was still another candidate
for representative to be nominated, the
secretary started to call the roll for
nominations, when he was interrupted
by Delegate T. J. Russell, of Flushing,
who moved to suspend the rules and
nominate the chairman, A. NJ. Brown,
as the second candidate for representa-
tive on the ticket. This motion was
promptly seconded by different dele
gates. Hon. David Wagner, Of West
Wheeling, put the motion to the house,
and it was carried by reclamation.
There were calls for Mr.. Brown, and
the popular and able attorney and
principal Of Flushing, who had been
twice honored by the convention, came
forward and responded earnestly and
eloquently to the enthusiastic dele
gates. Mr. Brown expressed himself
as unable to carry the party standard
as it ought to be held up, but realized
that the campaign in Ohio this fall
was the cause of the people who would
suffer no defeat. He said the Repub-
lican party had lost the word confidence
from their vocabulary and were now
crying patience to still the cry of the
people for food and work. There was
no hope for them in the gold standard.
and the people of Ohio would, this fall,
see that the interests of the working
man. in the mine and factory, and the
farmer in the field, were the same, and
that their only hope was in bimetallism,
at the ratio of 16 to l. independent
of any other nation on earth.
One vote was all that required to
nominate a candidate for county treas
urer. For this office, J. w. Hingeley,
of GAINESVILLE. and David Cox of Mar
tins Ferry. were named. Hingeley re-
ceived ia votes and Cox Il votes on the
first ballot. Hingeley was declared
nominated.
The candidates nominated for COM
missioner were: w. T. Patterson, OF
Goshen township; Andrew j. Brown,
of Meade township; Carlos Leather
wood. of Pease township. Four bal
lots were required TO nominate, Leath-
erwood winning.
For infirmary director, Joseph Meal
lister was nominated by reclamation.
Isaac Nichols, of Pultney, and Chas.
NJ. Henrietta, of Meade, were put in
nomination for surveyor. Henrietta
won easily on the first ballot, securing
SO votes and Nichols 46.
The last nominee to be selected was
for coroner For this Office Dr. j. NJ.
Holt. OF Martins Ferry, and Calvin I.
Ransom. of Bellaire, were named. Ran
som was nominated, beating DR.. Holt
by six votes.
After all nominations had been made
the convention ratified their work by
giving three enthusiastic cheers for the
success of the whole ticket.
