PIGS NEED SUNLIGHT.

A young pig Is much like flower; it
must have plenty OF sunligh, To make u
develop and grow into usefulness. Many
a fine litter has been seriously Injured
for the lack Of it. A writer in Waliacc's 3
Farmer makes the following sensible
remarks: Where farmers have n hog
house In which u number OF brood sows
are having their litters, we advise put
ting In cheap sash on the south side,
which can be done very easily aud at
present prices al very small cost. A
brood SOW should never be allowed TO
produce litter In a dark place. Inc
north side OF building Is no place Tor
her at all. Choose the south side, or the
east II nothing better can be done, and
let there be plenty of glass windows to
admit the sunlight. ln the summer
time these windows can be removed and
their place taken by some kind OF screen,
or, II nothing better, coarse gunny
sack, which will admit the air and keep
out the flies IL pigs are to be kept In The
building. A little attention TO this mat
ter OF light will save plenty Of money
and prevent serious disappointment.

GRANTS TOMB.
Nestled on the Banks of the Hudson
In Pretty Spot.

Nestled on the Banks of the Hudson
In a Pretty Spot.
New, York, April 2S.Riverside park
is indeed, a fitting place for the tomb
of a hero. Nestled on the banks OF
the Hudson it seems to lift itself up
from the smoke and CRIME of the
scenes below to a purer atmosphere.
Massive walls of gray granite that
from the river bank look like rows of
parapets. guard the park on the water
front. The steep incline is thickly
wooded and only here and there can
the grey; rugged sides be seen from
the river.
1t was a popular subscription that
the fund necessary for the erection OF
the tomb of Gen. Grant was raised
and it was estimated that 10000 people
contributed sums ranging from one
cent to $4,000. In all $559,000 was Sc
cured. The unexpended balances were
kept in trust companies and drew 3
per cent interest so the sum increased
till it now amounts to 100000. With
the exception of about $4,000 the en-
tire fund was raised in New York city.
Five days after the death of Gen.
Grant on the 2Sth day of July, 1888,
New York city having been suggested
by Gen. Grant before his death as the
place of his burial, William K. Grace,
then mayor called a meeting of the cit
liens at the city hall to take steps to-
ward the collection of a fund for the
erection of a national monument. on
the day following the Grant monument
committee was appointed and organ
lied with eX-President Chester A. Ar
thur as chairman. The first appeal to
the public was signed by Mr.. Arthur
as chairman and by William r. Grace
and Hamilton Fish, as vice chairman
and within a week subscriptions of
money were pouring in so fast that
there was serious belief that little diff
ficulty would be found in collecting
5000, 900. In February 1886 when the
Grant monument association was or
ganized under the act of the Legisla-
ture, $4,000 had already been raised.
Scarcely a week after this date, ex-
President Arthur was forced to resign
as president of the association because
of his illness which shortly after prov
ed fatal. Sidney Dillon was then cleo
ted president and was succeeded by
Cornelius Vanderbilt in the early part
of 1887. In February 1888, William r.
Grace, ex-mayor, became president.

THE AIR SHIP.
MR.. MG0LDRIOK NOW HAS AN
ORDER TO FILL.
Is Acquainted With The NaVigators
But Is Oath BOund-They Use
Gas And Weights,

Mr. w. H. McGoldrick, superintend-
ent of the gas department of the San
Antonio Gas and Electric vompany,
says of the famous air ship which has
been so often of late seen in various
parts of Texas that he is well ac-
quainted with the promoters of the
same and has been in constant COM
munication with them, up to at least
four days ago. He is under oath,
however, not to divulge their names or
the plan upon which their air ship is
constructed, but he is free to say that
the air ship is lifted by gas and oper-
ated by gas and the same agent is
used in the culinary department of
the airy travellers. They use acetylene
gas and he has now an order for q
quantity for them which they can store
for journey of thousands of miles.
The gas in use is contained in n large
silk bag in'the centre of the ship. In
side the silk bag is bag of rubber
which hold ,2S,700 cubic feet of this gas
at one filling. AS to the sails, rudder
and construction Mr.. McGoldrick will
give a description later to the Light.
He says the machine is raised and
lowered with weights.

overturned houses can be seen far out
in the flood but it will be hours before
the whereabouts of the occupants can

have seen. persons drowning.
1t will be almost impossible to find
the bodies before weeks have passed as
everything is swept into the Cimmaron
river, two miles away.
The Cimmaronl river is one to two
miles wide. A large wagon bridge
has gone out and it is feared the newly
completed steel bridge of the Santa
Fe is weakened. The tracks of the
Santa Fe are submerged and traffic
has been abandoned.
Small railway bridges in all direc-
tions have been washed out. The
losses in Guthrie will reach to many
thousands of dollars. The disaster

terrible suddenness.
A special from Perry, Oklahoma,
SAYS: A veritable flood visited this
section yesterday and last night, The
Santa Fe railroad is badly damaged by
numerous washouts. South of here
four miles of track have been washed
away. The bridge over Cimmaron
river is unsafe for trains and it may
also go out. Numerous other washouts
are reported and the train service Is

he recognized it as coming from the lost
clock? But where was the clock There
was nothing near but the COW. The boy
searched all around the yard. and then
concluded, as it afterward proved cor
rectly, that the clock was in the cow.
He rushed to his father with the news
of his discovery.
THE cows swallowed the clock! The
cows swallowed the clock!" he shout
ed. -.
Mr.. Newman did not believe the boy.
The latter insisted, So at 5:55 Mr.. New
man went out in the yard and took his
position few feet from the COW, which
was still cropping grass in reflective
fashion. In five minutes a silvery
chime floated again on the still
air. Another and another, and this
time six sounded. While they were
sounding the cow lifted up her head in
that inquiring style peculiar to cows
and listened. When the sounds had
ceased she resumed her browsing, salts
fed that she was keeping right time and
did not have to be wound up:
Mr.. Newman decided that his son was
correct. DR.. Eisenman was sent for.
He said that probably the COW had swal-
lowed the clock. and that it had not
gone further down than her first stom-
ach. 1t would not change position I'M
til it came time for the cow to chew
its cud, when the bovine would be
placed in the painful position of hav-
ing to chew a hard bit of silverware
and steel springs. A powerful emetic
did the work Tho clock was little
discolored. but was still ticking away.

While it Also Caused Marcos Flores
to be Injured.
Marcos Flores, clerk in the Fourth
Court of Civil Appeals, fell from the
fourth floor of the new county court
house at noon today. The accident
occurred at the rear abutment of the
building, facing Judge NeilPs office.
Janitor Fritz Ohnesorge was taking
a ladder from the rear tower of the
building to a lower floor and Flores
offered to assist him. While the lad
der was hanging from the tower
Flores got on the balcony to pull 1t
over to him, and as he pulled the lad
der down he fell with it. He struck
the tile roof of the third floor about
twelve feet, landing on his face. The
roof slopes, and he would have rolled
down to the ground below, distance
of about rs feet, had not the ladder,
which fortunately caught on the roof,
held him. A cash was cut in his fore
head and also one on his nose.
A stream of blood poured from the
wounds and Ohnesorge rushed down
to the third floor and helped him up.
He was taken to Judge Neilps office,
where DR.. Braunnagel, who was sum-
moned, sewed up the wound, the one
on the forehead requiring five stitches
and on his nose three. Flores did not
require any chloroform for the opera
ton. While the wounds are painful.
they are not dangerous.

injured at the Alta fire on Sunday
morning, by jumping from window

brought to the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank kunz, in this city.
She bore the trip quite well. Accom-
odation was made for her in the bag

trate upon a spring cot that could not
be easily taken into a coach. DR.. Bald
win and Mrs. Beckley's husband, father
and mother accompanied her The in
jured woman is very brave, and bears
her sufferings courageously. The full
extent of her injuries are not yet
known.
She says she was not aroused by any
one calling to her at the fire She
heard a noise below, but supposed it
to come from party of merry makers.
Later, smoke crept beneath her door
She had only time to throw on wrap
per, cal out to two men in rooms next
to hers to save themselves, and then
open the window, when the fire broke
into her room.
She then remembered that her hus-
bands watch and a wedding jewel were
at her bedside, and she crawled back
through the smoke and rescued them
(they were afterward stolen from her
person.. When she again got to the
window she saw no one, and nobody
appeared in answer to her frenzied
cries 1t was leap or be suffocated
and she sprang out falling between
forty and fifty feet down the hillside.
