A 10-year old boy fell from the third
floor of a building to the bottom of an
elevator shaft at Fort Scott, Kan, and
escaped injury. He managed to grasp
the elevator governing cable and so
broke his fall. His weight on the cable
! however, started the car downward
and he escaped being crushed to death
only because some one stopped it.
| Oliver Christmond, a farmer, has
submitted a claim for 500 to the
county commissioners at Chesterfield,
Ind. The superintendent of the county
infirmary permitted Matte Craig, an
inmate, to enter the Christmond home
as a domestic. Two days later she
went violently insane and in her frenzy
she tore uD the bed clothing and
caused much confusion. For this
reason Mr.. Christmond is seeking
damages.
Suit has been instituted by Hugo
Judge, an undertaken of English. Ind,
against the heirs of the late Mary j.
Goode, to recover $1,000 expenses of
burial. The dying woman made elab-
crate arrangements for her funeral,
STIMULATING everything, and her wishes
were carried out by the undertaken
The heirs insist that the claim is ex-
torticnate and not having realized
sufficient from the estate, payment is
refused.
A feature of the religious revival in
progress at Hortonville, Ind, is that
the conversions have had the effect of
uncovering more or less dishonesty and
other offenses. One penitent paid back
$40 which he had taken from the owner
of a steam thrashing machine. Another
acknowledged to the injured party that
he had sworn falsely against him in
court. Confessions of the theft of
hams, chickens, etc, have been lively
and still the good work goes on.

Germany seems to be forging ahead
in the race for Industrial greatness, if
not supremacy. She already stands
second among the nations in the value
of her exports and imports. Official
figures put her exports and imports for
1896 at 81. 925. T29 600; England's were So
125. $50 600: Frances 81, 500. 1877 500, and
the United States 81, ga, 10000 But
while she thus stands second as the
mercantile nation. she is seventh as
a naval power. To the danger arising
from that fact she seems TO be awaken
ing. and it is predicted that energetic
action will be taken so that her fleet
may surDass that of France.
The art of heating houses is reduced
to the finest point in Russia At the
end of October every window in a
dwelling is sealed with putty and not
opened again until spring. and there
is only one aperture left by which
every day for a few minutes some
fresh air is let in. The stoves are of
porcelain and an armful of wood is
put into them in the morning, which
proves sufficient to give out great heat
FOR twenty-four hours.
