HYsTERlA IN ANIMALS.
Cats and Canaries Subject to ParaIy-
sis--Caused by Fright

sis-tuuNeu by trtSht.
That animals are subject to attacks of
hysteria is a discovery only lately made
by surgeons. Two cases recorded recent
ly seem to leave no doubt about the mat
ter The animals affected were cat and
a canary respectively. The cat was one
day bitten in the back by dog and inn
mediately fell down paralyzed. When il
was first seen, some five or six weeks aft
er the injury, it walked only with its
forepaws, dragging its body and hind
limbs. There was complete loss Of SEN
sation in the hind paws and in the back
part of the body, both sides and back of
the animal being Indifferent to deep pune
lures with needle and to hot applica-
tons. but it always responded to gentle
touching of the front half of the body
The tail was paralyzed, but none of tho
limbs atrophied, as is usual in such cases
1t was considered that the cat was suf-
ferring from an Inflammation of the spi-
nal cord, but the animal gave no positive
signs other than the paralysis. One day
the servant threw 1t from the first floor
of the house on to the pavement. 1t
alighted on all tours, Immediately ran
away and was completely cured of its
paralysis. which had lasted for more than
two months. There was no lesion of the
( spinal cord at all, and all its symptoms
were due to an attack of hysteria.
The second reported case showed itself
IN canary, whose cage, with the bird in
it, was pulled down from the wall by a
cat, but the owner interposed before the
cat seized it. The bird lay on the bot
tom Of the cage, stiff, as il dead, but was
revived by sprinkling cold water, after
which it was lively and showed no abb
normality except that from having been
fine singer it became silent. For six
weeks the bird never uttered note, then
this condition passed off quite unexpect-
eddy, and the canary once more sang very
well.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

II Was a Horse, and InRersoI1 Was
Disguised With Him.

1ngersoll was not in any sense sport
ing man." lie liked to look at athletic
contests. but he had no personal liking
for outdoor games. hated prizefghting
and prizehghters (he called prizefighting
"baboonish') and cared nothing for rae
ing. He probably never sisited a race
track more than three or four times In
his life. The last time he went to the
races he was dragged into going by
Nsaye, the yielinist, who was a great
friend of lngersof. Ysaye is a racing en-
thusiast, and he loves nothing better than
to sit in grand stand, with huge meer-
schnum pipe in his mouth, and watch
them run. 1t was a spirit of mischief
that prompted Ysaye to induce Ingersoll
to go down to Sheepshead Bay with him
one afternoon. Ysaye knew that on that
afternoon an alleged race horse named
Robert G. 1ngersoll was going to run in
an all aged maiden race, and he also
knew that the horse Robert G. Ingersoll
was about the doggiest animal that ever
looked through n bride. So he got the
famous agnostic to go down to the track
with him. The race in which the horse
Robert G. Ingersoil was entered was the
third on the card. and when Ingersoll
CAME across the name he looked inter
ested
Say, DIVER" he inquired of P. ].
Dwyer, the famous horseman. who was
in the stand with them, tell me about
this Ingersoll horse. Can he runY'
Dwyer grinned.
He can't beat a steam roller" he said.
"He couldn't head a bull up a lane. He's
the worst counterfeit that ever happen
ed"
THAT sop said IngersoIl, the charae-
teristic "setY expression appearing in his
jaws. Good. I'll just bet little money
on Robert to win" And he sent $50
down to the betting ring to be put on the
horse named after him. The messenger
returned with ticket that read $4,000 to
$50, for the Ingersoll plug was at 200 to
in the betting.
Robert G. Ingersoll was beaten good
fnrlong by the worst set of dogs in train
ing, and there was mischevous twinkle
in the eyes of Ysaye, who had played the
winner.
Ingersoll was exceedingly Disguised.
He looked thoughtful as the horses were
being led back to the paddock, and then
he turned to the great violinist

EMMETT DALTON'S PLEA.
Will Ask For Commutation-
His Letter.

Coffeyvile Journal.
The Journal received, Tuesday,
the following interesting letter
from Emmet Dalton, which is
cheerfully printed:
Lansing, Kan, May S.-To the
editor of The Journal, Coffeyville,
Kan: Dear Sir.-I notice in the
issue OF your paper of May 4, an
article relative to my pardon.
Now, once for all, | want it dis
tinctly understood that | have not
applied to Governor Stanley. for
pardon, nor have any intention
of asking for one.
1t may be true that friends who
have confidence in my future con-
duct by my department here have
written the governor asking him
to look into my case when it comes
up, but that is as far as IL has gone.
But there is one statement | wish
to make, and that is: When the
time comes that feel | have been
sufficiently punished and can get
the consent of a majority of those
personally interested, l shall ask
that my sentence be commuted to
reasonable number of years, AID
l have ample reason to believe !
will be successful If not, there
is nothing in prison reform, hu-
manity or justice.
Another thought: lfthe people
aim TO give me another chance in
this life, why not do it before l
am old, broken down, unambi-
tious, and can become nothing
but a public charge, if released, +,
and while there is still show for
me at least to partially atone for
the past. Respectfully,
EMMET DALTON.

MURDERED OVER A PLACE.
First Of the Anticipated Trouble With
the Intruders.

A sad tragedy was enacted Tues
day evening at about $50 on John
Ingram's place. six miles north
west of Catoosa, The particulars
are as follows: At the sale of the
intruder places John Ingram
bought the place held by John
Gillis, and on entering suit in the
federal court gained possession of
the farm and rented portion of it
to John Query, young man well
known in the Cherokee nation.
Ever since Query has lived on
the place Joe Gillis, son of John
Gillis, has continually caused
trouble by riding through the
place and leaving gates open and
cutting the fences. On Tuesday.
evening he rode through the place
again and left the gate open as
usual, and rode towards Query
who was in the pasture. On COM
ing to where Query was standing
the latter asked Gillis to
shut the gates and discontinue
cutting the fence, when Gillis drew
a sixshooter and fred three bullets
into Querry's body, after which
act the murderer cody mounted
his horse and rode away. Query
lived about four hours--long
enough to make statement of the
tragedy. Query was well and
favorab,y known and his sudden
death is deplored by the commu-
nifty. He leaves a mother, sister,
wife and one child. ellis was
arrested yesterday morning by1
Lon Lewis.

refused to pay its taxes, and the
sheriff levied on the cars standing
on the sidings, closed the switches
and locked them. The railroad
people claimed tha assessment was
too high and rendered the sheriff
the amount they thought it should
be assessed, but The sheriff
couldn't see it that way and pro-
ceeded to chain them up. Pass

Developments tend to show that
no action looking to immediate
allotment of land in the Cherokee
nation will be attempted by the
Dawes commission at this time.
The prospect of an agreement be-
ing made at an early day whereby
the Cherokee nation will consent
to the final abolition of tribal re-
lations and to the heindividualization
of title is the reason for delay.
Then the Dawes commission has
work enough mapped out to keep it
busy for the balance of this year
at least. However, the proper
thing to do is for every Cherokee
to get into possession of land
enough for an allotment when it
comes.

outclassed former productions of
great minds. There is one story

world in Texas at present. 1t is a
simple, child's story of the dog
with piece of meat in his mouth

thinking it another dog with a
piece OF meat, made grab for it,
and lost both the substance and
the shadow. Don't be a grabber.

bors. II they get something which
