Buchwalter owns one of the best farms
in the county.
Three years ago, says the Chicago
Chronicle, Miss Buchwalter's home was
entered by three masked men, who beat
her terribly in an effort to make her
tell where her money was secreted.
Three of the best-known citizens of
Mount Eaton-John J. Schlaffy, JUS
tice of the peace; Simon Schlaffy and
Louis Klein were indicted and after
sensational trial were acquitted. The
three men brought suit against Miss
Buchwalter for $1,000 damages for
false arrest. Mr.. Beals offered his as
sistance to hunt down the offenders,
and it was largely through his efforts
that Miss Buchwalter won the only
one of the three damage suits that
has been tried, although the jury gave
the plaintiff a verdict assessing his
damages at one dollar.
Through his efforts in her behalf the
old love was rekindled, new engage

HOW 1T FEELS TO BE SHOT.
One of ROOsevelt's Rough Riders Re-
Iates His Experience Mt
Santiago.

A member of troop b, of Roosevelt's
rough riders, John Hammer, Jr., came
from Ardmore, l. T. He had served
under his father as deputy United
States marshal, in a country where
pluck and perseverance were required.
He is only about "a years of age, and,
in a letter describing his experience
before Santiago, gives an inside
glimpse of a soldiers life. He says:
Brother, this old hero's life isn't
what it's cracked up to be. 1t seems
sometimes that it is foolishness to

than too little. Was it due to lack of
intelligence on the part of the officers?
The officers of both the Spanish army
and navy represent the best of the
blood of Spain, where the ordinary vo-
cations of trade and, in a measure, the
civilian professions are deemed be-
meath the patrician families; and the
literature of both services bears con-
vincing proof of the excellent instruc-
ton which their officers have received,
and of their devotion to and interest
in their service. Was it dueTto lack of
courage? The Spaniard is, and always
has been, brave; and he was brave, very
brave, in Manila. on the 1st of May.
Was the bad shooting due to the con-
stantly changing direction of the ships,
necessitated by the maneuvers? Not
at all, for the ships remained in col
umn, and nearly motionless, for the
greater part of the time.

TERRIFIC POWER.
An Explosive That Is the Most Fright
full Ever introduced in
Warfare.

According to the reports of the opera
ton of the British artillery before ON
durham, Lyddite, with which the shells
thrown into the city were charged is
the most frightfully powerful explosive
ever introduced into warfare. At one
time lis men were assembled in an iron
mosque beside the mahdi's tomb. A
Lyddite shell fell among them, leaving
only II alive. So terrible are the eff
fects of this explosive that while it was
being tested in England no person was
allowed within an area of 500 yards
from the point at which the proiectile
was to burst. Within 400 yards, so it is
stated, so violent were the vibrations
produced by the explosion of a large
shell that many solid objects, such as
masses of masonry, were reduced to
dust. 1t is manufactured from the prin-
cipal ingredient of all coal tar oils. car

A BRAVE DEED.
The Quiet HerOism of u Modest Boiler
Maker on One of Our
Wnrships.

Few readers are aware that our war;
ships carry boiler makers who are
often called upon to perform perilous
repairs, and, in cases of emergency,
these men go inside of the boiler or
furnace. which, but few minutes be-
fore had been filled with boiling water
or red hot coal. There is no task too
dangerous for these men to 40. One'of
them undoubtedly saved the Castine
from destruction in the harbor of San
Juan. The Castine went into action
under full speed. The furnaces were
heated to the highest degree, forced
draught being used. Without warning,
Il fierce kissing noise was heard inside
che of The furnaces. A socket bolt in
a back connection at the farthest in
terror extremity of the furnace had
become loose, springing leak. The
steam. was pouring in upon the fire,
threatening in a few minutes to put
it out and stop the progress of the
vessel, if it did not cause terrific eX-
plosion. All in the boiler room knew
that, unless this hole was stopped,
disaster was at hand. One of the boiler
makers, named Huntley, ordered the
forced draught turned off and the fires
banked. Taking plank, he threw it
into the furnace on top of the wet,
black coal with which the fire had been
banked, and then climbed far back to
the place where the steam was rush
ing from the loosened socket. For
three minutes he remained inside the
furnace. His friends drew him out of
the door; the forced draught was
turned on, and in few minutes the
ship was proceeding on her way as
though nothing had happened. In view
of such deeds as this, there is little
wonder that the engineering corps in
our navy is receiving the highest
praise on every side.-Scientifc Amer

Daniel Beals. of West Lebanon,
Wayne county, o., is on his wedding
tour just now with the woman whom

came the affianced of Daniel Beals, the
son of a wealthy farmer. Because of
religious differences on the part of the
parents Beals did not keep his engage

There is no apparent reason why a

If not, was the bad shooting due to
