hour late and the Mexican Central was
an hour and 40 minutes late.
It was understood with the Santa Fe
that the party was to be taken west on
the S. P limited, but when the fact
the limited would not carry the extra
coach the Santa Fe switch engine was
ordered in the house. When the

which was going out over the
Southern Pacific short time after.
Mr.. Ennis in very gentleman
ly manner, requested Mr.. Leavitt to
call up Mr.. McNeal of the train dis
patcher's Office Of the S. P. and soon
the two were talking. After q "rag-
chewing" which lasted about ten warm

What? Well, then, it is no use send

There the conversation ended, but
the bowls of the party which arrived
from the south continued undated.
They wanted everything in sight and
what they didn't see they exerted
themselves to ask for.

THEY WERE HOT.
The Hostetter Party Arrived Over
the Mexican Central Last Night
and We're Very Angry Because
They Could Nots Go West on the
s. p. Limited

There was a great deal of talk about
the streets yesterday concerning the
arrival over the Mexican Central of
the ''Hostester" party. The question
is naturally asked: What "Hostetter?"
and in reply it must be answered that
it ia, the son of the man who in
vented "Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,"
but this is no paid ''ad."
Like all other tourists who reach this
point in q bunch they wanted everybody
in the railroad service from the super
intendents to the car whackers to re-
spond to their frequent calls and this
being a fact they made sprinters out of
ali connected with the railroad service
during their stay in this city. They
ciaimed a child in the party had pueu-
monia and that they wanted to get out
and must get out but they remained
here just the same until No. 20 went
west over the S. P. this afternoon at

when they are turned out they will all
be supplied with the automatic Janney
couplers.
Ten passengers arrived over the
Southern Pacific from the west yester-
day at noon that were to be transferred
to the Mexican Central to go south.
1t was rumored that the party consti-
tuted high toned company but re-
porter discovered the fact through ia
quiry that they we're all strangers to
one another.
tits noticeable fact that there are
very few wrecks occurring at present
in any part of the United States and
some of the railroad men think that it
is q calm before an approaching
storm. In the spring of the year when
the tracks are expanding from the
heat of the sun is the time when q
great many wrecks occur.

a Lion.

While Rev. w. J. Davis was living in
Africa, his little son John, a boy OF
four years, went too near to a chained
lion in a neighbours yard. 1t was called
a pet lion, but was so wild and vicious
that no living thing was safe within
the radius of it's beat. The unsuspect-
ing child stumbled within its reach,
and the lion instantly felled him to the
ground and set its huge paw on his
head. There was great CONSERVATION
among the b~ystanders, but none were
able to deliver the child. African News
tells the story of his escape, which
seems equally due to the lions love for
music and a young woman's presence
of mind. Miss Moreland, seeing the
peril Of the child, ran upstairs, seized
an accordion and fastened to a window
which looked out upon the lion. There,
with a shout to arrest its attention, she
began playing a tune. The lion at once
released its prey, went the length vi
it's chain toward its fair charmer and
stood in rapt attention. The boy, in
the meantime, got up and ran to lis
mother. He never thought of crying
till he entered the house and saw how
excited every one was; then, quite out
of danger, he had a good cry on his
w account.

Busy Animals.


The fox Is a dealer in poultry, but
he is nothing more nor less than a
thief. Fat ducks and chickens are his
delight, and a plump rabbit ONE next
best.
The otter and the heron are fisher
men. The otter Is not often seen, for
he carries on his work mostly under
the water, but the heron stands with
his long. thin legs in the water wait
ing till a fish comes by. Then a sud-
den plunge with his long, sharp bill
and the poor fish Is brought up and
swallowed.
The ants are the busiest of all. Catch
an ant asleep in the daytime If you
can, They are always in earnest at
their work, building their underground
homes and laying up stores Of food
for the long winter.
The swallow is a fly catcher, and
skins low over the surface of the little
streams. 1t takes a great many flies
to feed him for just n day, and he
Is forever at work.
The beaver Is a wood cutter, a build
er and a mason. 1t cuts down the
small trees with its teeth, and, after
it has built its house. it plasters it with
it's tail.
The snail, too, is a builder, but II
takes the material for its house from
it's own body. 1t is so anxious to begin
work that it commences to build its
house before it is even Matched.
The mole that burrows under the
ground makes a little fort under the
earth from which it tunnels in every
direction, and it makes such clever
paths that it car run from one to the
other and a scarcely be caught.
The bees do not all live in hives u
tree trunks. The mason bee digs q
hole in a brick wall and lines it with
clay. In this nest it lays two eggs and
closes it up. The miner bee bores long
holes in the sandbanks and the car
penter bees bore their tunnels in wood.
The upholsterer bee lines his nest with
poppy leaves. The rose leaf cutter
takes a leaf between it's jaws, begins
near the stalk and cuts out a circle Of
just the right sizetand IS perfect as
as could be marked with a compass
With these circles of fragrant rose leai
it divides its round hole in the wal
into little cells.

Fertile Lands of Colorado.

The traveller who visits Colorado for the
first time is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become tiXed in the minds of
strangers, crowding out all knowledge of
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
is ever given to the IL zoe miles of irriga-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 9, 000, 900 acres of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union
The fruit industry has reached "a, 000, 900 a
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is a profitable industry. The min
eral wealth of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro"

James ]. Corkhill of company e,
Kansas goth regiment, writes to the
Alan (Kas.) Enterprise this account OF
how it happened that the flag of the
goth Kansas was the first to float yer
Malolos, the insurgent capital:
"We we're halted in the shade Just
outside the city when Col. Funston
came %galloping down the line and told
our commander that the general want
ed a few men to advance ahead of the
lines to ~reconnofter. Lieut.. Ball and
sixteen men from company e we're
chosen, your correspondent happening
to be one of the lucky number. We
cautiously advanced into the outskirts
of the town and wendell Jul way up
Main street (although we didn't then
know it was Main street,, keeping as
much as possible under cover Of the
bamboo shacks. We o o discovered
that the negroes had breastworks
thrown across the street and in front
of the large Catholic church. Almost
at the same time they saw us and a
volley of Mausers few over our heads.
"'Well,' said Col. Funston, that's all
the general wanted to know but after
he held a little confab with Lieut.. Ball
they decided on a closer acquaintance
with our dusky friends. It's a little
risky, but I think We a do it, said
Col. Funston. Come on, boys, let's
get them out of there
$50 away we went, up the street like
a whirlwind, yelling and shooting and
making racket enough to scare a
whole army. Little Col. Funston, with
his revolver in n hand, was waving
his hat in the other and yelling: Give
it to them, boys! Give it to them!'
I guess the negroes thought that his
satanic majesty was indeed after them
or that the whole American army was
upon them, for, after firing a couple
OF volleys at us, they turned and ran
as I never saw any n run before.
On through the public square we
chased them and clear to the other
side of the town.
"Thus it was that sixteen Kansas
boys, led by our brave colonel and a
daring second lieutenant, drove the in
surgentsi out of their capital city.
"An hour later, when we returned,
we found that the army had poured in
and filled the town and our regiment
was sitting in the shade of Aguinaldo's
doorstep. Before leaving the insur-
gents had succeeded in setting fire to
the large church. which was now in
flames. Many of the Chinese remained
in the town, and when our little squad
dashed into the public square it was
amusing to see the 'Chenomen' crawl.
