Demonstrating Owls.

With the aid of a companion / secured
a number of owls and bore them to the
upper story Of the granary, q large room
where they could fly about at night,
were shielded from the rigors of winter
and could supply their larder from the
numerous mice that infested the place
for the catching. Being strangers to the
place and fearing they would not get
enough to eat at first, / carried them
pieces of fresh meat and fowl, which
promptly disappeared after dark. Mice
may have eaten them, but in the end
the owls were not the losers, I take it.
They soon lost their fear of us when
approached by day and seemed to ac-
Cept the situation as u o so bad after
all. Sitting silent and grave on the
beams overhead, they passed the days
in sleep and meditation. When ap-
preached at night with a light, they
we're wide awake and alert in their
movements. They were liberated in the
spring and a door left open that they
might return at their will, which they
often did. Having become in a manner
domesticated, they flew about the layvE
at night with little sense of fear.--J.

A Stage Robbers Desperate Defiance of
 Officers Seeking to Arrest Him.

Delta, Cal, Oct. 14.-William Harold of this place and Under Sheriff Rad ford of Siskyou county were shot and killed and Deputy Sheriff Stewart se- rously wounded this morning while the officers were attempting to arrest liar old for complicity in the robbery of the Yreka and Fort Jones stage on Septem- ber 26 last. The stolen money was traced by Detectives Thacker and, Jen- nings of Wells. Fargo & Co. to this
 place, and the Siskyou county officers, in accordance with instructions, came down from Yreka last night for the purpose of arrestng Harold and taking him to that place.
 About S:30 this morning Radford and Stewart presented themselves at liar olds house and asked for Harold. When he came to the door Stewart said:
 T want to see you, Harold" The latter replied, I'm ready" and opened fire upon the officers with big
 revolver. The first shot took effect in
 Stewards leg, while the second struck Radford in the left breast, killing him
 almost instantly. Stewart, who had fallen in front of the door when shot,

ORATOHY IN LUETG EXT CASE.
It still Continues and Will Last for Two
 More Days.

Chicago, Oct. 14.-The oratory contin- ues and will last for two days longer Attorney P. L. Phelan for Luetgert con cluded his address, after speaking two hours this morning, and Attorney Vim cent began the closing address in be- half of the defendant. The main point of his argument to-day was to raise in the minds of the jury a doubt as to whether Mrs. Luetgert is really dead.
 He admitted that she had disap- peared, but insisted that it had not been shown beyond all doubt that she was dead. Having spent much time in trying to create doubt in the minds of the jury, he insisted that there should be no halfway measures in the yer dict. If Luetgert was guilty of this crime he deserved all that the law could mete out to him, but if he was not guil ty beyond all doubt he should be set free. g.
 Attorney Vincent will speak all of to- morrow.

STATE PENETRATION OF IABoR.
A Number of Resolutions Adopted at Yes.
 terday's Session.

The principal business of the conven- tion of the state branch of the Fedora tion of Labor, yesterday, was the adop- tion of a number of resolutions Prob ably the most important was that one upholding President Gonpers of the ma 1 tional organization in his action re- garding the conference over the coal strike at Chicago
 1 It will be remembered that he refused to attend that meeting, and the argu- llents yesterday, both pro. and con,
 were very strong. The Danbury Hat
 ters association, which has the largest number of delegates in the convention l favored the side taken by J. D. Cow
 per of Hartford, who made a ringing
 speech in behalf of Gompers' policy l Several bills, framed for the benefit
 of the laboring classes, failed of pass
 age when presented to the state legis-
 lature last fall, and it was decided to have the representative of the branch
 in the legislature present all the bills
 again this winter. The legislature will
 also be asked to pass a law giving pro- lection to laborers and mechanics in lease of accident
 The Craftsman was adopted as the official paper of the state branch for
 the coming year, and it will be publish ed weekly this year instead of monthly,
 as heretofore.
 l several resolutions were passed which recommended that the members of the branch turn down everything which didn't savor of being unionistic It was voted that the executive coun-
 cil be advised to issue circular to the
 various labor unions of the state ask
 ing them to use their influence in the
 different governing bodies to abolish
 contract labor on all public buildings. Another resolution. asking all musi- clans to associate with labor organiza- tions, was passed.
 ] The bid of Charles Reil of New York city for publishing the official record of the proceedings of this convention was adopted.
 A committee of three was appointed Ito wait upon MT. Troup of the Union in regard to the employment of union labor only on his paper. The commit tee met MT. Troup last evening, but nothing definite was decided upon, and they will have another conference with him this morning.

DU7Y ON DIAMONDS.
ImportatiOns from Countries Not Contigu-
 ous to Canada Must Pay 10 Per Cent.

New York, Oct H--Attorney General
 McKenna has sustained the customs officials in their contention that dia- monds imported into this country from another country not contiguous to Can- ada must pay discriminating duty of 10 per cent. The decision of the attor- ney general had it's origin in the case of a prominent firm of diamond importers
 of this city.
 In August last they caused to be sent by registered mail from Amsterdam to Montreal q package containing bril- liants valued at $90000. The duty on cut diamonds under the Wilson tariff then in force--Was l25 per cent. but as the Canadian tariff prescribed a duty of only 10 per cent. the diamond import | CTS hoped to save 15 per cent, or Sl3,000. | AS it is, the owners of the diamonds 1 have had to pay 10 per cent. duty in Canada, 10 per cent. discriminating duty and good bit more in the way of incl 1 dental eSD DenSeS.

 Sketch of the New President.
 Memorable among all recent meetings of the American Board will that of last evening ever remain, for the venerable President Storrs' farewell address, on the occasion of his withdrawing from the presidency of the board after ten years of faithful, fruitful service in that position.
 Seldom is it the privilege of anyone to withdraw from official life with such hearty and spontaneous evidences of love and esteem as President Storrs re- ceived last evening. The platform was occupied by men of eminence from all sections of the country, clergymen of renown in the main, and laymen promi- nent in Christian work. The Hyperion
 was taxed to it's utmost capacity to ac- commodate the crowd and many re- rlained standing through the entire session.
 Rev. Charles M. Lamson, D. D., who was chosen as President Storrs sue
 cessor at the business meeting of the afternoon, presided.
 Rev. pr. Meredith of Brooklyn in- voked the divine blessing upon the meeting, the American Board, the retir- ing officers and those newly elected. Pledge cards for pledges to raise the debt of $45,000 were passed through the audience and earnest appeals for con- tributions made.
 President Lamson, in words few but full of feeling, presented Dr. Storrs President Lamson said:
 R You have not chosen one to fill the place of pr. Storrs, but you have choser \ one to fill a place in the love of the z board, of mankind and of Him. He whom you have chosen will fill the posi- tion to the best of his ability. He will < attend as far as he can to the duties of the board, and to the promoting of the spiritual force of our church have the pleasure of introducing to- you \ one who for long time has been your president and ever will remain in youl hearts, Dr. Storrs."
 President Larnson was greeted with hearty applause, but to Dr. Storrs was awarded perfect ovation of applause The audience rose and many handker- chiefs fiuttered from all parts of tine

A Veal Supper that Failed to

One OF the grandest and most beauti-
ful things OF nature is motherly devotion
TO her young. The editor OF this excel
lent family paper saw beautiful Illus
tration Of it while out for stroll Tues
day evening, about one mile north Of
town. Two huge coyotes with appetites
like = sawmill, by sneaking through the
tall dead grass, singled out two young
calves from their mothers, that were
grazing with small bunch OF cattle.
After running about two hundred yards
the calves got through a barbed wire
fence and lit out through the pasture,
with the coyotes close at their heels,
thinking what delicious supper of veal
they would have. At this instant the
mothers, having missed their offspring,
looked around and took in the situa-
tion at glance. Each let out below
that could be heard mile and started
To the rescue at break-neck speed. 1t
looked like 1t was hopeless chase,
for a strong 6-wire fence separated them
from the fleeing calves, but when they
reached 1t, each gave an unearthly bel
low and plunged into the fence with a
desperation that was astonishing. For
tunately several posts gave way, allow
ing them to get through, and in another
moment, although badly cut and bleed
ing, they were licking and fondling theil
calves with as much devotion as moth
er would caress her baby that had just
been snatched from the jaws OF death
The coyotes, which did not abandon
their prey until the cows hoofs were al
most upon them, sneaked off to knoll
near by and continued to think abou
that fine veal supper that they didn'tget
