Patent Cow For Hunters.

A Nebraska man has invented pat
ent COW for hunters The invention
presents the perfect outward semblance
of most peaceable and amiable cow
but the fore legs and hind legs are in fact
the two pairs of legs of two men. They
are armed with guns and have plenti-
full supply of ammunition. The patent
COW moves along like an ordinary harm
less animal until it is in the midst of a
lot of birds, when it comes open and
the two men inside blaze away. Formed
In the sides of the frame, at suitable
points, are windows or openings pro-
tected by outward swinging flap blinds
and through these windows the sports
man in the rear may discharge his
fowling piece when the game has been
successfully stalked. For the firing Of
the hunter in the front Of the decoy
there is provided downward swinging
portion, which includes the head and
neck of the animal, 50 that by simply
releasing a small catch from the inside
of the framework this releases the
swinging front portion, which immedi-
ately drops by gravity and thus leaves
the sportsman free. Boston Transcript.

Subsidized Hotels In Norway.

Some friends who have just returned
from tour in out of the way parts of
Norway tell me of capital hotel sys-
TEN in vogue there which might be
adopted with advantage in some parts
of Scotland and Ireland In every vii
lage where no hotel exists some one of
the more prominent inhabitants is sub
sidized by the Norwegian government,
and in return is bound TO provide ac-
commodation for not less than four
travellers. He may take in more if he
chooses, but four is the minimum. My
friends made frequent use of these sub
sidized hostelries and are enthusiastic
concerning the excellence of the accom-
mediation and food supplied. l did not
gather whether the tariff was regulated
by government, but 1 presume it is.
Anyway, the charges are absurdly mod

FOR HIS LIFE.
Wesley Bennett Is now on Trial for Murder
of Moses Walker.

The Wesley Bennett murder case
was called at 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing in the circuit court. Bennett APP
peared in court in charge OF the sheriff
in new suit OF clothes, clean shaven,
and looking AS though the charge
against him was of little consequence.
All through the examination, he APP
peared quiet and unconcerned.
Prosecuting Attorney Chaddock is
assisted by his law partner, James
Scully, in the prosecution, and George
E. Nichols is conducting the defense,
assisted by T.. A. Horrigan and +. III.
Stowe.
A satisfactory jury was secured and
sworn at 4 o'clock as follows: Theo-
dore Leach, Orleans; VIM. Fish, Bel
ding; II. j. Sheldon, Odessa; James K.
Whiting, Berlin; Chas. Patrick, Ber-
lin; Geo. f. Williams, Ionia city; VIM.
Il. Dergau, Lyons; Chas. l.. Stuck,
North Plains; Jason Hicks, Belding;
Curtis Munger, Portland; 5. S.Clemans,
Campbell; Chas. Holbrook jr., Dandy.
Prosecutor Chaddock then made the
opening argument.
The circumstances connected with
the killing of Walker are well known,
but the defense is evidently preparing
to put up strong fight and keep Ben
nett out of states prison for life if posi-
BILE. In all about go witnesses have
been subpoenaed, 30 by each side. 1t
will probably take week to try the
case. Where murder in the first de-
gree is charged the law requires that
the jury shall be constantly in charge
OF an officer, that all papers be kept
from them, etc, so that they will
doubtless put in good solid week-in
the court room all day and locked up
together in hotel at night

To South America is About to Be Re-
sumed Again.
New York, May 21.-The Herald this
morning says:
1t has leaked out on the Brooklyn
water front that the rush of grain to
South America is about to be resum-
ed.
The British steamer Kurdistan,
which sailed from the North Central
Pier took $1,000 bushels of wheat, and
the British steamer Mont Zephyr has
has commenced to load sixty thousand
bushels of wheat at the Central.
1t is the best spring wheat and worth
here about dollar a bushel. Freight
costs 25 cents and bagging Is so that
1t will cost about s1.40 per bushel by
the time it reaches its destination. 1t
is said that for the next three months
shipments to the Cape and to the East
Africa will be as great as those of this
trip which were unparalleled in the
history of South Africa.
At the same time the enormous
quantities of mining and agricultural
machinery and other American pro-
ducts will fill completely the cargoes.
