ed cautiously, using wooden wedges to
split open the tree. When the log fell
open, in the cavity lay eight large fat
coons, snugly housed away for the win
ter, further up the tree there was three
more and in the stump was a large 90
ponder, the largest and latest of them
all. Tom says coons are larger here
in Kansas than in Kentucky. Under the
coon in the stump was a gallon jug of
old Kentucky rye and the seal had new
er been broken, made in the same coun-
ty that Mr.. Duncan was born in. 1t

veyor when surveying Hodgeman coun-

When Mr.. Duncan lifted out the jug
there lay a bull snake 10 feet long who
disputed his right to the jug. Mr.. Dun
can got 800 pounds of coon meat, II
coon skins, one gallon old Kentucky
rye "a years old and one cord of dry
wood out of the Wilson joke. Tom says
he is now prepared for all the storms
of the winter, and will watch Wilson's
signal services and the best time to hunt
coons is just after Wilson hangs out his
weather report that indicates a storm.

Wellington, Feb. 21-John Beaucle-
ough and John Buckley, the latter a
Rock Island news agent, were arrested
in Wichita for swindling an FL Reno
man at Caldwell out of $3.50 by the
time-worn check racket. The victim s
name is T. Alder Bedford Wood, the
Rock Island detective, who was in We'll
lington, was working on the case
1t is alleged that Beaucleough and
train and entered into conversation
with him. They represented to him
that they were also going to FL Reno
to take charge of a stock of goods. It
is said that they represented to Alder
that they would arrive after the closing
of the banks and requested him to loan
them $3.50 on a check, SO that they could
pay their freight and get their goods
out of the depot at once.
1t is understood that they gave him
check for 5000, which they told him
to hold until the next day, and then
they would go together to the bank,
have it cashed, and Alder would be
paid back his money and be recon-
pensed for his trouble. Alder it seems
consented, and gave the men the money.
1t is claimed that when the train
reached Caldwell they gave him the
slip. He soon found that he had been
swindled and notified Sheriff Shaw
Yer. The case was put in the hands of
Detective Woods of the Rock Island,
who caused the arrest of the two men.
Sheriff Shaver went to Wichita last
night and returned with the prisoners
this morning. They were locked up to
await trial.

Nicaragua and Costa Rica About
to Lock Horns.

Washington, Feb. 21.-A serious condi-
ton of affairs exists in Central America
as is shown by the following telegram
received by the secretary of state from
Mr.. Merry, United States minister to
Costa Rica, dated San Jose, February
20, 1900:
Revolutionary invasion expected
from Nicaragua. Martial law declared.
Troops moving to the frontier"
Owing to the large commercial and
political interests of the United States
in the two countries named and espec-
tally in connection with the proposed
construction of the Nicaragua canal by
this country the reported revolutionary
movement on the part of the inhabit-
ants of one country against the other,
is viewed with considerable apprehen-
sion, as it practically amounts to a war
between Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
both of which are probably more init
mately associated in the general policy
of the United States than any of the
other countries of the American CONT
QeQt.

NoT INVENTEp roo SOON.

IFrom the Hartford Courant1
It is said that inventions are made
when they are needed, because they
are suggested by the need. Necessity
is the mother Of invention" and So
when it became necessary to get rid Of
the armored knight, the musket ap-
peared. When it became necessary to
make knowledge of the Bible the COM
mon property of all men, then printing
was invented. This may be putting
the cart before the horse'-an opera
tion to which we could never see any
objection based on the true nature Of
things-but it may be true.
Still, there are some inventions we
wish had been made at an earlier date
than they were. One Of these is pho
Biography. Had the Romans got on to
the kodak we might now have a faded
sun-picture Of julius Caesar A pho
tograph of Cleopatra would be a valua-
Bile bit of evidence, for then the belief
undoubtedly a sound one-that the
Serpent of Old Nile" was not any more
beautiful than some of our modern
girls, could be substantiated. We are
told it is true that she was of infinite
variety" so that a photograph might
perpetuate only one of the thousand
ways she looked, still it would furnish
better basis of comparison with the
modern type of beauty than mere ira
dition does. Photography was invented
several centuries too late.
But there is another invention that
was not invented too late The modern

peating. far shooting army rifle has
reached its perfection during the last
decade. 1t viii inhict a mortal wound

man can hit a man once out of ten
times at the distance of three-quarters
of a mile. The war in South Africa has
demonstrated that it is impossible for
one thousand men to carry a ridge held
by one hundred men armed with this
weapon. The assaulting party would
all be killed between the hundred yard
line and the two thousand yard line.
Now suppose that this weapon had been
perfected so years ago. The Army OF
the Potomac could never have got
through the wilderness. Intrenched
positions behind which were cool men
could never have been taken. We should
be living in two countries now, or rath-
er we should be living in one and Col.

TWO MYSTERIOUS THUGS.
Who Have Been Holding Up" En-
poria Citizens Captured Last Night.

Emporia, Feb. 21-For the past few
weeks cases of highway robbery have
been quite frequent in this city after
dark and in nearly every instance the
parties robbed have reported the rob-
bers as being colored women.
Monday evening two hold-ups oc-
Cured near the Santa Fe passenger
depot. One of the victims was Wood
Brown, an old Grand Army man, and
the other was a farmer from Usage
county. In both cases the men were
held up in what is called the strong
arm style, one of the assailants, after
passing the victim, suddenly turning
and throwing his arm over the shoulder
and under the chin of the party to be
robbed then pulling him back and hold
ing him up while the accomplish goes
through his pockets.
Last night the robbers were caught
in the act of attempting another hold
up and were arrested. They proved to
by a big burly negro named Henry
Showers and his assistant his wife. The
officers claim TO have a clear case
against them which will land them in
the penitentiary.
