A Singular Case.

A singular case has just been decided Tn Germany after occupying nearly 8 year in trial. When Prince Bismarck died, two Hamburg photographers bribed a watcher in the room to allow them to take fash-light picture of the dead chancellor. They tried to sell the photograph, but the Bismarck family interfered. The photograph itself furnished the evidence which convicted the persons concerned. The men who took the picture did not notice a clock on the wall, which was reproduced in the photograph, and re- corded the exact moment when the view was taken. It was known who was on watch at that moment, and the faithless watcher gave the names of the photographers. The pictures have been suppressed and the photographers sentenced to jail

ARMY HORSES HARD TO GET.
Purchasing Department Finds Difficulty
 in Meeting the Requirements.

in Meeting the Requirements.
 The entire northwest is being ran- sacked by agents of the war depart ment in quest of horses suitable for the cavalry and artillery of the army. The horses procured are for the most part brought to Chicago, where they are inspected, and then distributed wherever there is need of them. Among the requirements are the color of the animal, it's weight and it's height. The owner must stand the expense of hav- ing the two front shoes removed, fur nish a halter and have the animal weighed Tt would require the ani- mals to be nodded, said horse trader at the stockyards. As yet there are few horses that we have received that come up to the requirements of the or der, and an owner having horse that would answer the style that is wanted by the army demands a larger price than the government offers to pay" The local horsemen state that the gov ernment will have to make some allow ance on the order or 1t will not get the requisite number from this territory. Horses are being secured that will come up to the requirements in many respects, but it is feared that they will be turned down by the government buyer the same as they were last year.
