Battle Between Two a Grewsome Sight
ostend Oyster Beds Ruined by Them


A plague of the octopus is reported
at Ostend, and the age-famous oyster
beds of that resort are in serious dan
ger. This visitation IS unusual, for the
octopus is usually found IN the gulf of
Mexico, along the coast of southern
California, or in Alaskan waters. Some
OF those in the gulf measure as much
as twenty-one feet across the body,
their arms stretching out infinitely it
seems, to their prey They do not at
tack men as a rule, but there have been
many fierce eombats when an unfortun-
ate fisherman happened 10 hook one.
An ichthyoIogist has only lately made
a study of a small octopus three feet
in diameter 1t was placed in tank,
and the scientist put in one finger. I'm
mediately one of the eight great feelers
came toward it. followed by the others.
These feelers, armed with powerful
suckers, attached themselves firmly to
the mans finger and hand, and made
no further movement until he tried to
withdraw it. Then they held all the
tighter and the little mouth spouted
forth its inky fluid to distance of
two feet. At last he released his hand
with an effort and tried to touch the
body of the octopus. AS he did so it
changed colors in rapid succession,
passing from black to yellow, and then
seemed to be all covered with black
spots Another octopus of the same
size was placed in the tank and then
was battle royal. The sixteen arms
writhed and twisted, the water was
stained black by the elected fluid, and
it was a thrilling sight to behold the
entangled feelers, wrapped around each
others bodies. After little the weak
er of the two withdrew his arms, the
other released him, and the beaten
monster drew himself into corner to
nurse his wounds.

MYSTIC MESSAGE OF SORROW.
Chicago Man Mysteriously learns OF
His Brothers Death In Manila.

Chicago Man Mysteriously learns Of
His Brothers Death in Manila.
A mystic message brought sad intel
ligence to Frank Fay Pratt of Chicago
one day last week. It told him of the
death of his twin brother, Fred Roe
Pratt, which occurred in Manila,
Frank was sitting down to dinner in
his home in Chicago when suddenly
the impression entered his mind that
his brother had died He could not tell
whence the knowledge came; all he
knew was that his brother was dead.
He told his parents of his belief Of his
knowledge, of the sad event. and then
he hurried into the streets, where he
walked up and down for hours, bur
dened with his grief. Three days later
came a cablegram from Manila. telling
that Fred Roe Pratt, who had been
voyaging around the world WAS dead
and that=his body was on a steamer
bound for Japan Fred left Chicago in
December, 1898, N the company of a
friend to make a tour of the world.
It was their intention to visit nearly
all the oriental countries, winding NJ
in Australia. They had already visited
China, Japan, Singapore and other
places. Fred was born in Chicago and
had practiced law with his brother I'M
til he started on this trip. The SINH
Iarity between the twin brothers was
so marked and striking that the first
thought on seeing them together was
to doubt ones eyesight. Not only in
features and stature were they eoun-
terparts, but in actions, expression and
general bearing also

The democratic state central con.mittce, aided by democratic oili- cials of the part, have partly uaearthed the scheme. of fraud. which has for its object the wholesale robbery of the ballot box. It is shown to be the most desperate attempt by an organized gang Of republican consplrators to de feat the will of the people.
