In respect to the comparative speed
of animated beings it may be remarked
that neither size nor comparative
strength seem to have much influence.
The sloth is by no means a small ami
nal, and yet it can only travel so PAGES
in day; a worm crawls only five inches
in 50 seconds; but lady bird can fly
2O,OOO,0OO times its own length in less
than an hour. An elk can run a mile in
seven minutes; an antelope can run a
mile in a minute; the wind-mule of Tar
tara has a speed even greater than that,
and an eagle can only fly "a miles in an
hour; while canary falcon can reach
$50 miles in the short space of Is hours.

BATTLE IN A CHURCH,
Denouncemant of Truth Knowers
Results in a Clash.
A RELIGIOUS WARFARE
Stoyan Vatralsky Indulges in an Ex-
posure of Faith and a
Row Ensues.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. So Special. /
What came near being a pitched battle
between the Truth Knowers," a relig
ious sect in this city, and the followers
of the orthodox religions, occurred last
evening at the Park Avenue NJ. Il.
church. Stoyan Natralsky, Bulgarian,
who alleged that he had taken the lee
lures Of the sect, had advertised that he
would make a public exposure of their
belief and the Truth Knowers' attend
ed the meeting in a body. Toward the
end of the speech of Natralsky his oppo-
nents became very restless and several
times the speaker was interrupted. At
the close Of the address an old white
haired man in the back part of the
church got up and denounced Natralsky
in no uncertain words. This was a sig
nal for the fight. and in another minute
in all parts OF the house the people were
denounciug the speaker. In the excite
ment which followed the most bitter per-
sonalitieS were engaged in between the
cOntending factors. The ministers of the
city appeared on the platform and at
tempted to quell the excitement but the
people paid no attention TO their words.
II appeared as if Il serious clash was i'm
mincnt. Finally the organ began to play
and the crowd was hustled out of the
church. The Truth Knowers'' declare
that more will come of the affair. The
trouble in the church created great ex-
Citement.

rival of Gen. Butler at Cape Town was
received by the British with unfeigned
faction, it is pointed out the general
cannot end the war without an army
corps and some of the troops which are
to compose it have not even left England
for South Africa.
Dispatches from Cape Town show that
Gen. Buffers reception there was most
enthusiastic. He was welcomed by Gen.
Sir Frederick FortstierWalker, after
which they both entered a carriage and
drove to government house, escorted by
mounted police and mounted volunteers.
They were wildly cheered by the throngs
of people lining the route. There We're
cries of "Avenge Majuba." and wild
cheers for the general. Gen. Butler 5
face was impassive as he returned
military salutes for the cheers.
Other advices from Cape Town show
that the Beers are gathering in consid-
cradle force at Dewdrop, southwest of
Ladysmith, while large forces of Beers
are advancing over the Helpmakaar
road. A big camp of Beers is to be
formed between Harrismith bridge and
Potgietere farm camp, at Dewdrop,
which, it is said, will extend four miles.

CHECK WAS WORTHLESS
G. B. Davis Wanted at La Crosse
and Oshkosh for Some
Crooked Work.

La Crosse, Wis. Oct. 31.-I Special. !
George B. Davis, wanted in Oshkosh for
passing worthless checks, is also quite
badly wanted here. He arrived in this
town Saturday and rented IA house i'll
fashionable part of the city, giving as his
name +. Nj. Davis. and purpOrting to be
an apple buyer and cattle commission
man, operating extensively throughout
the country. He went to the State Bank
of La Crosse and there opened an ac-
count depositing Il check for $1,000 drawn
on the State Savings bank Of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich. Davis was given Il check
book and pass book showing that he
had S12oO on deposit subject to check.
he bought $50 worth of furniture and
rendered i'll payment Il check for $50
drawn upon some Pennsylvania bank.
He was given the balance of So Ill cash.
At another store he purchased woman :
cape and Jacket amounting to Sli.Jo,
which he paid with one of his checks
drawn upon the State bank. APPARENT
ly he took one of the uoon trains for Wi
mona. Mimi, where he evidently h0ated
several more worthless checks. as they
have since been coming in to the banks
here for collection. The probability of
apprehending Davis is very slim. as he
was out of town forty-cight hours before
it was discovered that he was Il fraud.
Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 31.-A tele
gram was received from the German Ma
tional bank of Oshkosh, Wis. stating
that one George h. Davis had deposited
there a check for $500 on the state say
ings bank of this city. and asking wheth

WILL NEVER GIVE UP.
Boers will Fight as Long as There
Are Any Left.

London. Oct. 31-An Englishman who
has arrived at Aiwal North, from Pre-
toria, whence he was expelled by way of
BlOemfontein. says that when he left
Pretoria all the stores there were carry
ing on business as usual. President kru
ger was still there and he did not see
any wounded at Johannesburg. Some of
the Transvaal papers are still publish
ing and contain glowing account OF the
success of the Boer army, saying that
Kimberley and Mafeking are expected TO
fall at any moment, while Bechuanaland
is conquered and annexed, that the Ike
publican arms are also successful III Ma
tai and that the burghers are continuing
their victorious march south, capturing
British prisoners and stores. The pa
pers admit that the battle of Glands
laagte was reverse for the Beers, who
lost thirty killed. had many wounded
and that eighty-tive Beers were made
prisoners. LadySmith, according to the
Boer newspapers is soon to be taken.
The Englishman added that the Beers
are absolutely confident of their ultimate
triumph and believe the whole of Natal
is already practically in their hands.
A dispatch from Nryburg. dated Octo-
ber %, gives report of speech of Com
mandant Delarey when hosting the Boer
flag there. He declared that the flag of
the republic was now floating over the
whole country north Of the Orange and
tHdt tHe bEllISH nag NOuli nv S''i,
fly there unless hoisted over the dead
bodies of the burghers. Complete order
prevailed at Nryburg.
Advices from Kimberley under date of
October - are received through dis
patch rider at Orange river October 80,
reporting that all the wounded are pro
crossing favorably. 1t also appears that
as they are unable to blow up the piers
of the MOdder river bridge the Beers are
demoliShing them stone by stone. They
have blown up practically every culvert
from the Modder river to the Orange
river.
An armored train, strongly supported
made a reconnaissance October - and
found the Beers still at Spyfonten.
