dredge was working on the Hoffman
lake drainage ditch a monster tooth
and jawbOne was found. The tooth
weighs nearly eight pounds, is eight
inches in length, and is six inches in

polished, but the jawbone is much de-
cayed. 1t was found at depth of six
feet in the marsh land, and is pro-
nounced the remains of monster pre-
historic animal. Other portions of the
skeleton were found, but in handling
them they crumbled to dust

Capt. Dreyfus' Counsel Ambu-hed by Two
Men and shOt-His Recovery
is Doubtful.

RENNEs, Aug. 1.-TWO men am
Dreyfus, and one shot was fired, hit
ting Labor IN the back. NJ. Labor
fell in the roadway. He is still alive.
Maitre Labor left his house alone
for the court at about o'clock Mon
day morning. His residence is situat-
ed in the suburbs of the town about a
quarter of an hours walk from the
Lycee, the route being along solitary
road beside the river Vilaine.
He had reached a point half way on
his journey when two men, who had
evidently been lying in wait for him,
rushed out of a narrow lane and one
of them fired a single shot from re-
volver. The murderers were only a
couple of yards behind their victim
and the bullet struck Maitre Labor
in the back. The wounded man ut
tered an agonlzed cry and fell on his
face. The murderers Immediately fled
through the lane from which they had
emerged and both escaped.
At 7:3O o'clock it was announced that
the bullet had entered the stomach;
that there was no outward bleeding
and that the physicians believe that M.
Labor will die from the wound.
A later story has it that NJ. Labor
was shot in the temple by a man
who fired a revolver at him outside the
court and that the miscreant was ar
rested.
Only two or three laborers going to
work witnessed the shooting of Maitre
Labor. The spot was well chosen, as
the murderers could not be seen by
NJ. Labor until they rushed out upon
their victim, the entrance to the lane
being hidden by bushes. More
over they were afforded an easy means
of escape by passing back through the
lane, which led to the country.

FLOATING DRY DOCK.
The ACCESSIBILITY of Building One for Ca

cussed-lt Will Cost ST. 100000.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-The advisa-
bility of building a floating dry dock at
Cavite, Philippine islands, is being
generally discussed by the officials of
the navy department, and 1t is not i'm
probable that a recommendation for
such a dock may be made by Secretary
Long in his annual report. All our
ships on the Asiatic station must now
go to Hong Kong, six hundred miles
away, to be locked.
1t is believed that a floating dock
could be built in this country. taker
apart and transported to Manila in a
sailing ship. Such a dock could be
built for about 81, 600, 900.

about the odd name of the place where
Sir William Whites English troops
have been doing battle AS matter of
fact, Ladysmith did get it's name from
a woman This was the wife OF Gen.
Sir Harry Smith. whose marriage, by
the way, was one of the romances OF
the Peninsular war. AT that time two
young British officers in Spanish
town, which had just been occupied by
an English force, were surprised by a
visit from two very young and beautiful
Spanish girls of the better class. These
fair callers begged protection in the
alarming circumstances in which they
had been placed by the occupation of
the rougher soldiery. Their request was,
of course, CALAMITY granted. and In a
short time one of the officers, Captain
Smith, found himself desperately In
love. In due time he married the woman
whom he had protected. The marriage
proved happy one"

COUSINS IN MARsHALLTowN

Congressman Robert G. Cousins adj
dressed an enormous gathering at the
opera house in this city last evening. IT
is needless TO say he pleased his hear
ers. Mr.. Cousins is. one Of the great
orators of modern times and while his
performance last evening was not of his
best, his fame had filed the assembly

Mr.. Cousins speech was both enter

finished there was hardly man n the
audience who did not wonder how in
the world any sane man could apposs

pines. The absolute righteousness q

and Inundated Mrs. Rand that within
three days a document was destroyed
that would sooner or later have made
Iowa college richer by $4,000. A bull
in a china shop can destroy lots of
property, but he can hardly equal the
destructive capabilities of few persons
who think that they are fitted to direct
the affairs of college.
DIR. Herron's written resignation is a
most interesting document. In it he
makes many admissions that few peo-
lsple thought him capable of. His resig-
nation, as he states, is entirely volun-
tary, for, had he been so disposed, he
could probably have prevented the en-
dowment remaining and the trustees
would have been forced to make serious
| sacrifices to secure his withdrawal. He
seems to appreciate the situation when
he says: II do not know that present
/ day educational institution can make
any place for the mere apostle of an
| ideal, whether he be right or wrong. :
1t would certainly have been better
for Iowa College had DR.. Heron recog-
nized this long ago, but in so doing now

whole argument of his critics and in

AT any rate, wherever the wedding is.
the admiral will wear his uniform and
the sword that was presented him by
the congress of the United States. And
cards to that wedding will be as eager
ly sought as seats by the great white
throne.
One of the picturesque phases of the
Dewey-Hazen engagement Is the en-
couragement which it has given to the
misguided enthusiasts who are deter
mined to force the admiral to run for
the presidency on the democratic
ticket They had given him UP. The
admiral's repeated and emphatic dec
larations that all the kings money and
all the kings men could not drive him
into the political field had led them re-
|luctantly to abandon their crusade. But
now they are picking UP their ears
again. Here is their argument; Mrs.
Hazen, who is to be Mrs. Dewey, is I
sister of John r. Mclean, of Ohio. Mr..
Mclean is ambitious. Mrs. Hazen is
ambitious for him and for herself. She
would like to be mistress of the white
house. The admiral is very much in
love with her. He acts like boy
again. Now mark-''the honeymoon
