DOWN A CHUTE.
Cub Bear Rode Log at a Terrific
Pace,

A party of lumbermen who were
sliding logs into Little Pine creek. near
English Center, one day last week, had
the unique experience of Seing a YEAR
ling bear cub hop upon a log just as it
started down the side hill and take a
toboggan ride clear to the bottom
says a Williamsport CPa.) correspond
ent to the New York Sun. Strange to
say, too, this feat OF young bruin was
performed directly after his mother
had been killed by a log that rolled
upon her as she was scrambling out of
hole alongside a big rock.
1t was soon after, daybreak and the
air In the woods was so crisp that the
troop OF red-shirted log rollers pitched
into their work to keep warm. The
mountains that hem in the Little Pine
Creek valley are steep and high. A
log starting at the top and sliding on
a snowy bed gains tremendous veIoc-
1ty before it bumps itself against the
landing on the creek bank There was
q strong crust on the snow which gave
the logs additional impetus. The men
had been at work a short time when
one OF them heard a squeal from a
group of rocks over which the logs
were running. CHANGING in that direc-
ton, he saw big black bear sprawled
out on the snow dead She had been
struck by a log just as she pulled her
self out of her hiding place, and the
lie was knocked out Of her instantly,
Starting another log ON its downward
course, the WOOdSman FASTENED to
claim his bear prize. The log took
about the same course as the one that
had killed the bear, and when it
reached the rocks the Woodsman was
surprised to see yearling cub straight
en- himself up after craving out Of the
hole, glance Quizzically at the ap-
preaching log, then with a spring that
would have done credit to an acrobat,
land squarely on the rear Of the bark
less stick as it slid by.
The log had not yet gained much
speed, but before It had gone three
lengths more 1t was whizzing at a
speed down among the trees that would
make Canadian toboggan green with
envy. And the cub-Well, he Just look
ed as though he had done nothing but
ride logs all his life. He hung onto
the log much as a monkey would onto
the back of a runaway horse, but
when the log ran it's nose into a pile
OF other logs at the bottom of the hill
the cub went flying twenty feet into
the air and landed kerplunk into the
ice cold water of Little Pine creek
But this involuntary bath didn't ruff1e
his temper, for the frisky youngster
craWled out upon the ice on the far
side of the creek, and ran, shaking him
self as he went, into the thick woods
beyond.

FLAMES DID QUICK WORK.
Completely Ruin the Interior of n
Drug Store.

Drug store.
The St. Louis drug store situated at 6Ss
First avenue south, in the Achard block
visited by fire shortly after o'clock last
evening, and the stock of drugs owned by
Dr. Samuel Friedlander, was almost COM
pletely DESTROYED. Although IL took but a
few minutes for the firemen to extinguish
the flames with two chemical streams. the
whole interior of the store was scorched and
smoked. the show cases were cracked by the
heat, and, In fact, almost every article in the
stock was burned enough to make it practi-
cally useless.
DIR. Friedlander closed the store at 915
o'clock. After locking the door he stood
with his wife talking with Officer NJ. L. Du-
gan Tor a few minutes on the corner, wait
Ing for car. The officer turned down Sew
enth street, when suddenly, Mrs. Friedland-
er noticed a light in the store. She asked
her husband if he had turned out all the
lights. which he said he had done, with the
near the front door. He then hastily I'M
locked the door, and cloud of smoke burst
upon him. He called to officer Dugan who
was over block away by this time and the
latter turned in an alarm, while the doctor
did his best to eXtinguish the blaze This he
found to have originated at the of the
counter of the east side. number of news
papers had caught fire, and these spread
along the drug cases. The flames then leaped

tinguished, but it had done considerable
damage.
The doctor was unable to say what the loss

about 81. 500. AS to the amount of insurance

up the matter. The loss to the building will
probably not exceed 500. This consists

STOOD SIX AGAINST SIX.
GANG is MUCH DISTURBED

Francis G. Drew will be tried again
next term, on q charge of agreeing
to accept a bride.
At 5:15 o'clock last evening, the jury
in his case came before Judge Belden,
and Foreman Wright declared that
there was no possibility of an agree
ment, whereat, after calling the attor-
neys on each side before him, Judge
Relden discharged the jury in that case
only, and ordered it to report again
this morning.
At once there was a demand for all
immediate trial by Mr.. Harrison, and
Mr.. Peterson, for the state, urged that
the case go over the term, on account
of the Haney case, which was to be
tried at once. The court did not see
how it could compel the state to pro-
coed at once to trial.
IF there was any reason for it, or if
the defendant would be prejudiced," he
said, cit might be different, but the
next term is so near, that no harm
can be done the defendant"
The case was therefore set for April
IL, to be tried then unless there was
good reason for a continuance The
jury was glad the case was ended, and
hurried to it's homes to recuperate. All
through the votes cast were six for the
verdict of guilty and six against. Four
ballots from the last, three ballots
stood seven for acquittal and five for
conviction, but the last ballot went
back to six and six. Mr.. Peterson
states positively that he will try the
case again without the least doubt
The court room was filled with the
faithful aldermen and their friends
while the result was given out and
there were many expressions of sorrow
that the verdict was not given, and
that for acquittal. The result was a
great blow to the city hall people,
after their confidence that the jury
would return in ten minutes with a
verdict of not guilty. Drew himself
looked pale and a trif1e worried. for the
past night and day had told upon his
sensitive nature. His attorneys and
friends will begin at once preparing
the case for next term.

BECAME AN INVALID
Through Initiating the Hacking
Cough of Her Mistress


The story of Annie Eller's life is O
very sad one. About nine years ago
Miss Eller, then in perfect health, be-
came the companion of a woman suf-
ter1ng from consumption, says the New
FORK World. At this time she was in
perfect health. Shortly afterward Miss
Eller found that she was unconsciously
initiating the short, hacking cough Of
her mistress.
This apparent affectation soon be-
came fixed habit. A physician was
consulted, and 1t was found that in
cipient consumption had been acquired.
Miss Eller was cautioned and then
threatened that if she did not stop
coughing the result would be danger
Gus. She managed to stop at one time
for a period of three days, but after
that continued to cough more or less.
Several prominent physicians became
interested in the case, and a number of
attempts were made to check the dis
ease. The treatment was unsuccessful
and in time the tissues of the lungs
came to be very seriously affected,
and serious hemOrrhages set in. By
some curious fatality Miss Eller has
also come to be afflicted with serious
trouble with her eyes and a very pain
full ear trouble. The strain upon the
system in time induced other internal
troubles
During the past nine years this re-
markable invalid has undergone more
operations and has swallowed more
medicine than would suffice for a dozen
ordinary invalids. The case is known
to almost every physician in New York.
and a considerable number have in one
way or another attempted to cure
some Of her complaints. Her physi-
clans include many of the best known
specialists. She has been treated in
practically every hospital in the city.
At several times 1t has been necessary
to treat several of these complaints
at once, and as many as a dozen doc
tors have attended her at the same
time. The treatment has incidentally
cost the city many thousands Of doll
ars. The victim of these curiously
self-inf1icted diseases is today an in
durable invalid.

DAM WASHED OUT.
Towns North of Mount Morris, N. ",
Feeling the Effect.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, March 10.-The
Mount Morris dam broke this morning.
The towns north Of Mount Morris are
feeling the effect of the water let loose
as it spreads over the big river flats.
Most of the damage will be to lowlying
farm lands. The water in the city has
risen fifteen inches since yesterday, but
is still nineteen inches below the high
water mark of last year. The dam at
Mount Norris was built in the year 1895
by the state, and cost about $50, 900. All
manufacturers who use water power in
that village have closed down. The
Western New York and Pennsylvania
bridge, which is situated about 100 feet
above the dam, is in great danger The
current has washed a large hole below
1t and is gradually washing away the
earth from near the piers. The road
bridge will certainly be carried away
if the high water continues, as the
center pier merely rests on the rock.
neither being sunk into it nor fastened
to it in any manner. The loss so far
is placed at $4,000

Mr.. Huntress Thinks He Knows His
Own Children

The habeas corpus proceedings in the case
OF Dr. Martha Ripley against e. o. Huntress

The respondent was placed upon the stand
and swore that one of the children in uues

for that state last Monday. AS they were not

have them brought into court. Further Ques-

he swore most positively that both the children
were his own in every sense of the word.

CHICAGO, March 10.-7Deleg from
half-dozen states met today at the
Auditorium and mapped the outlines
of great national body, to include all
the SwedisIh-American Republican
leagues now in existence, and to pro-
vide for the formation of new associa-
items in states where no such leagues
now exist. Edward C. Westman, pres
ident of the Chicago Swedish Republi-
can league, and Secretary w. S. Huss-
handler were prime movers in the pro-
ceedings. Prominent among the repre-
sentatives from other states were dele
gates from the Tri-state league-the
joint alliance of the Swedish leagues
of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania
There was a delegation from Iowa,
and quite n numerous force from Ne
braska
AS arranged, the plan, of action will
be, first, to sound the ideas of all the
now existing Swedish leagues as to the
most suitable time and place for q
convention; second, the views of all
having been obtained, to select such
time and place for the gathering, and,
third, to assist in the creation Of as
