Neiehborhood Telephones.

In central Kansas several ranches
are connected by telephone with the
railroad depot a. q central station, and
the results, in business and social
way, are said to be excellent. The
various houses are connected by cheap
wiring, in many cases the barb wire
fences being used for this purpose.
there is no insulation, the only care
taken being to SEQ that there are no
broken fences and to carry the wires
across the roads by means OF high
poles, connecting again on the other
side OF the fence wires. The only real
expense is the telephone instrument
in each house, the cost Of which il
said to average 50. A plan somewhat
similar has been tried on some OF the
larger Nebraska ranches. New Eng

turned it, He persisted in refusing to
accept a cent for services which he had
not performed, thus establishing case
for which there is no precedent.
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Lehfeldt
could very well afford to refuse the
money, for he is worth over 5000, 600.
He has made most of it in sheep rails
ing. He was torn i'll Germany S3 years
ago and first settled in Iowa in 1870.
He took up farming and made spe-
cialty of sheep raising. He has big
sheep ranch i'll Montana, but stops his
live stock in Iowa and fattens them on
corn before sending them to the Chicago
market, where they bring gilt edged
prices. Mr.. Lehfeldt has been married
three times and when nearly so years of
age became the father of pretty little
girl who is the pride of his declining
~ears.

Addition to Yellowstone Park,

Captain Anders IN, superintendent of
the Yellowstone National park, says
that an effort is being made to secure
legislation from congress which would
add the Jacksons Hole country to the
park. The area which it was proposed
to take in is about so miles square and
contains Jackson's lake and the Three
luton mountain peaks. 1t is rich in
natural scenery and would, in the opin-
ion of the captain, add materially to
the parks attractiveness. Senator Car
ter of Montana has drafted bill for
that purpose, which has the indorse-
ment of the senators from Montana aud
Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have
not yet been won over.-Omaha Bee.

years has devoted her life to one long
effort to better the condition of the In
dams.
Miss Crawford soon found that tho
only way she could reach the savages
was to go right among them, live as
they lived and gain their confidence.
That is exactly what she has done. Sad
die Mountain, where she has her mis-
sionary school, is ~ miles from a rail
road and 81 miles from postof1ice.
The nearest whites are 25 miles away
There, in the midst of the Indian vii
lage, she has her little cabin, which
serves as schoolroom, chapel, kitche,
and sitting room, and which must !
shared with any Indian family, no ma ,
ter how large. which happens to clai
her hospitality. Her scant supply
food, too, must be shared on such occu-
sions.
But this daring young missionary
lives in comparative comfort when ut
headquarters, as she calls her cabin, to
what she does when she is travelling
among the scattered camps. Then she
shares the tepecs Of the Indian women
and often sleeps under the same shelter
with a whole big family. She lives on
the coarsest and plainest food and is
glad when she has enough of that. Be-
sides doing her own housekeeping work
she must cut her own firewood and haul
her water, for the Indian bucks make
their squaws do all such work.
But she has taught the Indians to
pillow and plant and harvest and has en-
couraged them to something approach
ing industry. She has taught the squaws
to use stoves and to cook food properly
as we'll as how to take care of their chill
dren and their humble homes in some
what civilized manner.

OFFICE SOUGHT THE MAN.
1t Caught Him, but the Man Declined the
Salary.

Salary.
Rudolph Lehfeldt holds unique po-
sition among politicians. Much against
his will he was elected member of the
Iowa state senate. He positively refused
the nomination when offered, but the
Republicans would not take no for an
answer and insisted on putting his name
on the ticket. 1t was one of those rare
cases where the office actually sought
the man. In this instance, as in most
others on record, the office caught him,
for he was elected.
But Mr. Lehfeldt, being a somewhat
determined man, did not propose to be
cOerced into office holding, so he at
tended but very few sessions of the sen
ate, and then only took his seat to vote
on two measures in which he was very
much interested. But this was not the
most startling thing about Senator Lch-
feldt's political creed. When salary day
came around at the state capitol Mr.
Lehfeldt was not present to draw his

The fish is put into pail of water,

Then the fish is taken out and pail and

TadpoIe Pond Zines.

"One Of the most beautiful floral ex-
hibits in New England" says a Com
necticut man, sis upon 'Tadpole pond,
n famous pond-lily pond on the line Of
the Norwich g. Worcester railroad, one
mile above Jewett City, Conn. The
surface of the pond is now a mass Of
pink-aud-white pond-lilies, and their
fragrance is carried for miles by the
summer winds. No one knows how
long this remarkable garden of pond
lilies has been in existence, but for
many years Tadpole's lilies have been
sought by picnic parties from nearby
counties in this state, Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island. Cart loads Of the
flowers are carried away, but there
seems to be no diminution in the sup
ply. The railroad comes suddenly upon
the pond, which IL divides In halves.
and in an instant the passengers de-
tect the fragrance of the lilies and
throw up the windows, the better TO
view the beautiful and unusual sight.
In one section Of Tadpole there IS a
large tract Of lilies, the blossoms of
which are of so rich pink as to be al
most rose-colored. They are of ex-
ceedingly rare beauty, and. are much
sought after by collectors. Chicago

Reasons why They XIII Fewer Per-
sons Than Slower Trains.
"There seems to be an impression"
said railway superintendent, speak
ing of the fast service the railways are
now giving, SHAT the fast trains arc
the most dangerous for people to ride
on. and TINT more persons are killed
in crossing tracks, etc, than by the
trains which are slower. This is mis-
take.
The Pennsylvania Railway com
pany has given this matter special at
tention, and has statistics to show that
in proportion to the fast and slow
trains run, moro accidents have oc-
CURED to the slow trains and more per-
sons not in the employ of the company
killed by the slower trains. Men In
change of fast passenger or freight
trains are constantly on the watch for
danger. The engineer feels that there
is more at stake, and one will notice
that the blasts of his whistle are more
frequent and sharper; that the fireman
is more particular to ring the bell
when passing through town or city
or near a highway crossing. 1t would
be difficult to find people living on the
lines of the roads which run fast trains
that have not heard of the Chicago

fast express, No. 2. between st. Louis
and New York. over the Vandalia and
Pennsylvania lines; the Empire state
express, the Knickerbocker on the Big
Four, and the hundreds of other fast
trains. Fast trains are run nearer on
time, and people know their time and
keep out of the way. The equipment
Of the fast trains is kept at the best
standard. and everything conduces to
make them safer to ride on and less
liable TO injure people at highway
crossingsandi in passing through towns
and cities. The Pennsylvania trans

that the above statement is correct"

rhe Tragic Mystcry OF Lieut.. Won
Eahuke'a Death.


Huhuke's Death.
The German emperor is never so thor
oughly happy as when he is concentrat-
ing attention on himself, and he APP
parently has not yet reached the limit
of astounding pranks he is capable of
playing in order TO be we'll under the
limelight ON the European stage. This
makes IL all the more curious that one
of his many dramatic entrances and ex-
its, which was closely followed by the
tragic death of young companion, has
been shut Off from the public gaze by
the curtain Of silence raised only for
brief moment to show the august fig
ure of the imperial protagonist in un-
certain light dimmed by the mist of im-
probable fiction. IL will be remem-
bered how a short time back the world
was panied by the information that the
imperial navigator on board the yacht
Hohenzollern, off the Norwegian coast,
had received a bad black eye. Elabo-
rate explanations were at once forth
coming is to the clumsy Tapping or fall
ing of vaguely placed rope on one Of
the best-appointed vessels manned by
perhaps the smartest crew ufioat. Then
comes the tragedy in the shape of the
sudden death next day of Lieut.. Won
Hahnke, n promising young naval Off
Ger on board the Hohenzollern, and the
press of Europe was compelled 10 swal-
low the astounding canard that this
young athlete expert at oil manly ex-
ercises had landed and ridden a bicycle
over the edge of a cliff into the sea.
All this goes very well, and the en-
tourage of the kaiser may be recom-
mended as artistic in fiction Of no mean
order. But the grim story which is
now muttered under the breath in the
land whose loyalty is so sorely tried by
the feverish fuming of William the Au-
tocrat is of a much simpler kind. II
tells of a young officer, who, maddened
by some biting speech or rough, i'm

got himself as to strike his sovereign,
and then, or the next day, seeing that

note bearing this sentence: THE barn

is supposed TO have been written by
him just before he perpetrated the rash
deed. Mr.. Baldwin was the manager of
the fine country seat of Mr.. Bailey, and
since his death all his accounts are

the only reason advanced for his SUI
