equal to the occasion and entertained him
in a style in keeping with the situation.

That's all l want to know said the
man, smiling to himself. You see 1 may

man a license, but in view of the fact
that from one to half a dozen people are

today charging a man named Sam with
assault in the third degree on w. D,
WEIGH. The latter applied for it, and if
the appearance of his face was an indi-
cation by which to judge, he was entitled
to it. The region of his eyes was quite
badly discolored. Welch stated that he
was boss at the home of Lille Woods, on
EASY .Galena street, having su%pplanted
Sam in the woman's affections. Last
night he was occupying a BILE
seat in the house when Sam entered and
thrashed him just for the fun of the
thing. The complaint was filed in Jus
tlce Harrington's court and a warrant
for Sans arrest issued.

Isabella Miller brought suit in the dis
trict court today for divorce from her
husband G.. w. Miller. In her complaint
she alleges that the ceremony which made
Mr.. Miller and herself man and wife was
performed in this city February II, 1896,
and although she has fulfilled her part of
the contract he has failed, having been
guilty of wilful neglect in not providing
her with the necessaries of life: tina this
is due to his idleness and prof1igacy. They
have one child about two years old, and
in addition to a decree of divorce she asks
the court to grant her it's custody.
Judge Lindsay made an order today
restraining Philip Herring, or Herne,
from %disposing or encumbering any of his
property until such time as the suit now
pending between Herne and his wife can
be settled. The property consists of real
estate in Tacoma, Helena and Park
count Herne was also enjoined from
disturbing his wife's peaceable possession
OF their minor child, Henry P. Herne.

TAUGHT To BUILD NEsTs. 1t
10 q common error to believe that
with birds the knowledge OF build
ing their nests 10 innate. Ii is
trade that is taught to every bird
BY is parents and in Just 40 syste-
matte q manner as men are trained
TO be builders. Birds are born
With the instinct to carry little
twigs and the materials of which
meats are made, bat unless they are
instructed ia the art of building
they will just drop them in pile
aud never attempt to weave them
into nests.
It 10 after the young birds have
learned to fiy that the older ones
regularly teach them the process
of Intervening and lining that is
necessary to construct nests. This
10 most complicated and trade pc
culiarly their OWL; it cannot be i'm
itated even by men. To arrange
the little twigs so that they will be
symmetrical and strong enough to
hold the weight of the mother bird
and four or FIVE little one to y
branch of tree requires good en-
gineering ability. The lining OF
the nest is usually Of much softer
material than that of which the
outside 10 made, and to place this
neatly is also taught BY the older
birds. Humming birds will often
follow cows for days to pick up
their soft hair with which to line
their nests and they weave it as
compsctly as piece OF flannel.
Birds that have always been in
cages can never make nests and are
pitlaoiy clumsy even with cotton,
wool and material that has been
given 20 them.
That nest building is taught is
also true of those that squirrels and
mice build, as we'll as bees, wasps
aud snts.
The green ant Of Australia is
very clever in the building Of it's
nest. IL appears to consider it an
irksome duty that can be hired out.
A small spider is trained to do this
a. servant in all things. The
green ant pays the spiders for their
labors in coin that they enjoy. IL

Of the innumerable little eggs that

agreeable arrangement, for all. man
included. as otherwise the green
ants would rival the rabbits in ov-
errunning Australia.

STRANGE TALE OF a DYING NAN,
He had Concealed his Identity for For
ty Long Years.

The death Of Leonard B. Blocker
aged y years which recently occurred
at Yates Centre, Kas., mas revealed a
case of self. f.sacriice seldom heard OF
outside the domain Of fiction. Three
years ago Bleeker went to that country
peddling few cheap articles and, too
old and weary to proceed farther, kind
hearted farmer took him in and cared
for him until ne died. To the family
which befriended him he told the story
Of his life, reserving for the grave the
specific names Of persons and localities.
He stated that in 1861 he lefta wife
and five children in Michigan and an
swered the first call for volunteers. The
fortunes Of war were against him and
for months he lay prisoner in Ander-
sonville prison. For some reason he
was led to believe that certain other
batch of prisoners would soon be ex-
changed. Among them was dying
man and the two comrades exchanged
names and military designations. The
soldier died and the death was reported
as that Of Leonard B. Bleeker, and IS
so recorded in the war department. The
real Bleeker was released after time,
rejoined his regiment and served until
the close of the war without communi-
eating with his family. Then he went
back and found bis wife married to an
other man. He ascertained that his
children we we'll cared for and then LETT
the community without revealing his
identity. Throughout his life he care
fully guarded his secret and since going
to Yates Centre, was often urged to ap-
ply for pension, but stoutly refused.
Even when near death he would not
reveal the location Of his former home
or permit anyone to communicate with
old associate. He was man OF more
than ordinary education and the truth
of his story or the possession Of noble
purpose in his long sacrifice cannot be
doubted.

Scorches Alger.

The London Times editorially says:
':Alger has run the war Office as po-
litical machine. Military posts have
been bestowed upon political friends
without regard to fitness or the inter.
ests of the country. Dishonesty and
corruption have been rampant where
ever there was public money to be
handled. American soldiers were kill
ed by thousands on American soil by
such agencies as embalmed beef and
scandalous neglect OF elementary sanl'
tation. AS the head is, so we expect
subordinatcs to be. They were chosen
without regard to fitness with every
regard to political service. Naturally
they act as the politicians they are
rather than as soldiers and administra-
tors, which they are not, The new i'm
perial policy of the United States is
thus aiscredited by association with
system of more than common corrup-
tions. Mckinley, for some reason or Or
other, is incapable Of ridding himself
Of the incubus of his secretary, who,
evidently regarding himself as having
the president il his pocket, serenely
defes the public indignation that has
been aroused by his mismaaagement.

a FIENDISH CRIME.
There is Likely to be Another Burn
ing Over in Georgia.

A dispatch from Brainbridge, Ga,
saws Decatur county has been stirred
from its northern limits to the FLORIDA
line by the enormity of crimes heaped
upop ]. E. Ogletree and his wife Thurs
dav night at their home in the little sta
ton Of Saffold, on the Plant line, few
miles from Bainbridge by two Negroes;
About s o'clock two Negroes entered
the store of Mr.. Ogletree which adjolns
the depot and made few trivial pur-
chases. When the sales were COM
pleted Mr.. Ogletree asked for his mon
ey. At his demand one Of the Negroes
presented pistol at the agents head
and said: I owe you nothing. We
are robbers and want your money.
Ogletree emptied his pockets, the
other Negro standing guard at the front
door. Then the two Negroes ordered
Ogletree to march up stairs, where Mrs.
Ogletree was and they ordered her to
give up what money she had. She
gave them 81 and while one Of the
brutes held pistol to Osletrees head,
the other assaulted her. Then the other
committed the same deed. About this
time a train was heard coming to the
station and the Negroes fed in the dl-
rection of the Chattahooche river.
When Ogletree managed to bring
himself to realization Of what had
happened, he took his wife and boarded
a train for this city. Sheriff Patterson
was informed Of the crime at once and
took action at daylight. Several posses
were Immediately sworn in and with
dogs in the lead started in various d.
rections to find some clue to the Ne
groes. Everybody in the vicinity has
quit work and is assisting the posses
in their search. If the blacks are
caught their quick death IS certainty.
Mrs. Ogletree is sister Of VIM. Bucc

a well known family.

Georgia has a law regulating the
standard Of Illuminating oils. Recent,

that fall below the regulation standard.
It is not known whether there are any
Inferior oils on the market, but rigid
tests are to be applied and all oil that
does not reach the 120 point will be
confscated. The South Carolina Leg
islature has an idea that any kind OF oil
is good enough for our people. They
declare that they desire no inspection

FROZED OUT At LEST.
Secretary of War Alger Has Resigned
from the Cabinet.

Secretary of War Russell A. Alger
resigned Wednesday from the cabinet,
the resignation to be effective at
pleasure Of the president. The resig-
nation Of Secretary AIger is believed to
have been sought by the president, as
public opinion had almost crystallized
in desire for the secretary's retire
ment. Alger called upon President
Mckinley at the White House Thurs
day morning shortly before noon and
was with him for a few minutes. When
he left he was in excellent spirits. His
face was wreathed with smiles as he ex-
pressed to several newspaper men who
gathered about him his appreciation Of
their good wishes.
"You feel relieved Of great bur
den?" one of them suggested.
Eyes, l do, replied the secretary.
thereafter l will only have my own
burden to carry.
The secretary said that he would re-
linquish his portfolio as soon as the
pending routine matters of the depart
ment were closed up, and Assistant
Secretary Meikeljohn, to whom the war
Office is to be turned over pending the
appointment Of Gen. Alger's successor,
is ready to assume charge.
II shall retire before August lst, "
said the secretary. Gen. Algcr said he
would go back to Michigan and for the
present at least devote his attention to
his health. The secretary said he
knew nothing about his successor.
Asked as to whether he would press his
senatorial candidacy, the secretary re-
piled: II cannot tell nov"
