Died Rather Than Lose a Hat

Joseph Pribanicz, aged &c. of Hoet-
lein, Austria, man who has always
been considered to be in a normal state
of mind, was travelling by train when
his hat was blown off and carried out
of the window. With scarcely mo-
ment's hesitation Herr Pribanicz
opened the door of the carriage and
jumped after it. He fell down the rail-
way embankment and remained in
sensible for some time. When he came
to his first thought was for the lost
hat. He dragged himself, although Sc
verely wounded, up the embankment
again, and erept on to the rails to get
the hat. At this moment an express
train came round the curve and be-
fore the injured man could escape he
was caught by the engine and dragged
for distance of some so yards. This
foolish man died fearful death re ther

The Field says the American elk, OF
moose, reaches as far south as 10 de-
grees north latitude, and inhabits all
the forests from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The animal is found from
Kenway and Alaska to Kotzebue
sound; also along the Mackenzie riv'
er, and near the sources Of the Elk
river in the Rocky mountains is es>
peeially common. Although in the
case of an animal inhabiting wide

Knoxville, Tenn, May 10. = The
final day of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey's
tour was spent at Lows Ferry, 10 miles
west of Knoxville, the birthplace of Adj
miral Farragut, under whom Dewey
served in the civil war. Admiral Dewey
formally unveiled the marble shaft
erected to mark the birthplace of the
first admiral. Upon it is engraved:

WITHOUT A SALOON.
Des Moines Must Go Dry Until june
4, and Perhaps Longer, Under
Certain Circumstances.

Des Moines remains city without a
saloon for this month at least. This
condition has existed for more than
three months, or ever since the courts
ruled that the conditions for the grant
ing OF licenses had not been complied
with. The saloon keepers then decided
to close their places, and they began a
canvass for names upon their petition,
in conformity with the law. A month
ago they finished their work, and pre-
sented the petition to the county
board. The supervisors spent several
days going over the list, and at their
quarterly meeting on April IS approved
it. The court now holds that publica-
ton should have been made in four
newspapers, instead of two, and that
the legal ten days notice was not
given. The next regular meeting of
the board of supervisors will not be
held until June 4, when action will be
taken. Shortly thereafter, unless the
anti-saloon people interpose some 9TH
er ground for delay, the saloons of Des
Moines will reopen.

THE OSTRICH AS FOOD.
Said to Make Splendid Steak and
soup, But the Doer Will Have
None of 1t.

There are two dishes an ostrich farm.
er in South Africa will not tolerate on
his table, though both are considered
delicacies. One is ostrich soup, an
other ostrich steak, says the London
Mail.
There is not much eatable meat
about an ostrich, for his body is nearly
all bone. His long, delicate legs are,
however, supported upon remarkably
massive thighs, and these provide
joints which are utilized by the house
wife on an ostrich farm, when an unto
ward accident has ended the birds lifc
and he is fit for nothing except the
larder.
The thighs are so extraordinarily
muscular that steaks cut from them
are not very appetizing, but theJanake
splendid soup, which may even be COM
pared with the renowned turtle for
richness and delicaey. Its strengthen
ing properties are also great, and il the
ostrich were cultivated for food. in
stead Of for feathers, it would very
likely prove formidable rival in the
sickroom to the most expensive turtle
soup. But no farmer has the larder in
view when he rears an ostrich chick.
and when the birds grow up 1t goes
seriously against the grain with him
to hand carcass over to the cook,
when 1t alive would have brought him
s16 If sold to another farmer.
ostriches are dreadfully prone to
suicide, however, and are determined
fighters, and as they don't know how
to conduct their battles wisely they
are usually victims to broken limbs,
and must be put out of their misery by
their owners, who cannot operate
surgically on such delicate members,
as an ostrich's fragile legs.

TO DRAIN Low LAND.
judge Gaynor Decides in Favor OF
the Proposed Ditch In Wood
bury and Monona County.

Judge Gaynor, sitting on the bench
OF the district court of Monona county,
reversed the decision of the supervisors
of the county in refusing permission
for the construction of the proposed
Woodbury. and Monona county drain
age ditch. This practically assures the
construction of the ditch, for which
work great deal of labor has been
expended.
Woodbury. county gave it's permits
sion last January, but Monona county
voted against it. The question was
then appealed to the district court.
Gov. L. NJ. Shaw, of Iowa, is one of the
heaviest land owners in this low land
vicinity, and has done a great deal
toward securing the required permis-
sion. 1t is the idea to construct this
ditch to carry off the surface water
which collects there after every rain
and causes great deal of valuable land
to be useless for cultivation. The ditch
will cost great deal of money, but
will be paid for by AUDITING land own

DRAWS SPARKS FROM SNOW.
Kite Shows That Billiards Contain ~
Much Electricity as Do
Thunderstorma.

William A. Eddy, at Bayonne, on re-
cent occasion made his first electric
test In blizzard, by sending aloft
six-foot single plano kite during the
heavy gale and dense snowfall, sustain-
ing in this way steel wire at consid-
cradle height. So severe was the gale
that the kite was repeatedly borne
down to within about so feet Of the
earth. but it always recovered its posi-.
ton aloft. The falling snow din,med
the kite, but did not overweight ii. At
five p. IN. the electric connection with
the steel wire was severed from the
grounding rod, when the kissing sound
of the brush discharge could be plainly
heard, followed by one-inch spark:
Mr.. Eddy says that the electrical actiy-
ity with the kite at SO moderate an al
titude was the greatest he has ever ex-
perienced. 1t was as powerful as il
thunderstorm We're near by. At tho
time the steel wire was paid out it was
made to run through an iron snap
hook tethered by chain to rod driv-
en- into the ground. This was done by
Mr.. Eddy to lessen the danger from Sc
we're electric shocks.

New York who sympathize with your
country In its struggle for liberty and

to you personally and advantageous to

sentatives. In the near future we will
extend to you a more formal reception,
put on this occasion we simply say We'll
come"
Mr.. Fischer responded to Judge Van
Hoesen, saying:
thank you most heartily for this
welcome which you have just extended
to us. The warmth of welcome does
not lie in the length of words used, but
in deeds. We believe that the American
people will also extend to us hearty
welcome. For ours is cause that is
dear to their hearts. We are fighting
for our country. AS soon as they come
to understand our cause they WILL be-
lieve. echo the welcome you have just

GEN. BULLER AND THE TUGFLA
The English General Was Eating
Sandwiches Where the Fire
Was Hottest.

1t was during the advance Of the
Devons and the Queens that the series
of brilliant attempts to rescue the guns.
(at the Tugela) began, says Colenso
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian. A little earlier-about ten
o'clock-Sir Redvers Butler had left
the position he had appointed for him
self at the naval battery-the situation
on the right was too serious for man
OF Buffers spirit to stay there now
and had ridden off toward the guns
with all his staff and the escort Of the
Natal police. "Out Of this, please" he
said-he was down among the naval 12-
Founders behind Longs guns now. The
Beers had perhaps recognized the
staff; the whistling in the air trebled.
You oughtn't to be here, sir" gasped
ogilvy. I'm all right, my boy said
the general. The staff fingered about
the place; Sir Redvers Butler was eat
ing sandwiches, and from the scat
tered groups of men emerged one of
the most gallant trios that ever tried
to win the Victoria cross.
"a eAAS VII SS NSaVA LIZA Vic q uuS--l saw
them go-Schofeld, Congreve, who had
been leisurely giving me notes out of
his pocketbook an hour before up near
the naval battery, and young Roberts.
1t was all no good; general
retirement was ordered, ten guns were
left on the field Sir Redyers
Butler and his staff came by me on their.
return. The general climbed down
Imply and YEARLY from his horse like
an old, old man. l thought he was
wounded with vexation; did not know
then that he was wounded-though
slightly-with a bullet, which had
been passed round his ribs. The horse
OF Lord Gerard, one Of his aids-de-oamp.
had been shot in the neck; Capt.
Hughes, the doctor of his staff, had
been hlled-half blown to pieces by a
shell; one of the Natal police (the gem
erals escort) had had his horse grazed
in the fetlock, in the belly, and in the
mouth, and two bullets had passed
through his holsters. That is the sort
OF fire the general had been under eat
ing sandwiches.

! TURNS A NEW TRICK.
Senator Clark, of Montana, Re-
signs His Seat.
HIS ACTION CAUSES A SENSATION.
Later in the Dny He Is Appointed by
Acting Governor spriggs to BE
His own Successor in
the senate.

Helena, Mont, May 16.-Acting Gov.
Spriggs Tuesday night appointed w.
A. Clark, of Butte, United States SEN
ator to serve until the next legislature
shall elect his successor Senator
Clark's resignation was filed early in
the day with the governor and at
night he was appointed by GOV.
Spriggs to succeed himself. Mr..
Clark's reasons for resigning are fully
set forth in the speech he delivered
Tuesday in the ,senate. Gov. Spriggs
has all along been friend of Senator
Clark, during his candidacy for the
senatorship and since, although he
preserved the utmost impartiality in
his office as lieutenant governor and
president of the senate during the
senatorial campaign. Gov. Smith, a
partisan of the DAILY people, left the
state two weeks ago for California to
attend to some mining cases in which
he is retained as attorney. At that
