The public does not like these new

In Cape Colony, Gen. Macdonald
has had a skirmish with 1000 Beers

The Beers have been taking the offen-

Since the war has strained the re-

bees realizing that h. had missed a note.
 Mrs. Fitch acted at once. She knew something of bees and realized that un- less she got them hived in short order they would probably sting her son to death. For she argued that he could not keep on whistling for ever. So she got a huge pan and began beating it vigorously. The bees stirred uneasily at this interruption of their concert but they did not sting, and after few moments every one of them rose in the air and started towards the tin pan. Mrs. Fitch led the way to an empty hive which had luckily been pre- pared for another swarm, and by dint of much beating and coaXing got all the bees into 1t.
 Fitch stopped whistling, sat down fiat on the ground and mopped his face. The sleek, lazy oxen switched their tails vigorously to make up for lost time.

HELD UP BY HORSE THIEVES
A Trade Forced Upon MT. Herring
 of San Pedro.

Last Saturday, as Mir. and Mrs. Her ring were going from their ranch on the San Pedro river, near Dudleyville, to their mountain ranch twenty miles away, they were held up by horse thieves. Mir and Mrs. Herring were riding horseback and were compelled to dismount and give up their horses at the points of guns. After d critical examination of the animals that ridden by MT. Herring was the only one thought desirable. The victim was given back his saddle and bridle, and was also presented with a horse which had been stolen from a ranch, but had been found unfit for travelling: There were five men in the party, but only two conducted the holp-up, the others being posted some distance away with other horses. It is known that eight horses were stolen by the party, one of the stolen animals belonging to the sheriff of Graham county.
 It was impossible to get together a posse until Tuesday morning, when a party started out to overhaul the thieves No report has yet been re- ceived from them.
 The ranchers in the San Pedro val ley are much exercised and will spare no effort to capture the party. Fears are entertained as to the whereabouts of one resident of the valley, who has been missing for several days Many believe that he has met with foul play at the hands of the band of thieves.

Tom Shuitz of Prescott is a Ievel headed man, as is evidenced by his long sightedness in putting up a very substantial wooden structure on the plaza, which can later be moved off that temporary location to a residence quarter of the town, and turned into a very neat little homestead The room is eighteen by thirty feet, and twelve feet high, with firs5-class shfnglcd roof over 1t, and stands just at the Goodwin street entrance to the plaza.
 w. B. Shanks, Vim. Nartker and Attorney J. c. Forest have located twenty-one claims for oil on the line of the r. V. and P. railroad, near Jerome. This location covers four hundred and twenty acres of ground, and contains the regular horsebOne stone in which the oil is plainly detected and can be smelled. These claims are being pros pected and tested by oil experts, though as yet nothing definite has been as certaired as to the quantity of oil in the claims, though no doubt exists as to the oil being there.

HIS EWHIsTLE CHARMED BEES
Settled Down on Him and Oxen and
 Thus Took Them Home.

Henry Fitch, a young farmer living at Mountain End, Mo, invited death for himself and his two oxen the other day by whistling. according to the St. Louis Republic. Young Fitch is a whistler of much ability. H. has wbis- tied at every farmhouse and every gathering in the neighborhood, and when he is whistling nobody cares to listen to a piano, violin. flute, guitar or banjo.
 The other day Fitch was blowing in the fisld-plowing and whistling. Two sleek, sleepy oxen were drawing the blow and neither they nor Fitch paid any attention to anything but the blow ing and the whistling. Presently a swarm of thousands of honey bees hov- cred over them. There was no use to run, still less to fight them. and Fitch kept on whistling and blowing, while the bees settled softly upon him and the oxen. They seem=d friendly enough as long as Fitch whistled, and Fitch admits that he was willing to whistle as long as they remained friendly and seemed inclined to listen.
 Fitch continued to blow along His patch led him toward his home, where he could see his mother in the yard. He caught the tails of the oxen so the beasts might not anger the bees by switching them. For the distance of half mile he held those two OK tails and whlstled. His mother looked up and saw him. He and the oxen looked like thpV might he covered with ,nf+ brown fur. Fitch stopped whistling just long enough to say bees and then continued his tune without the

NH.L EXTEND ITS LINE ULTIMATELY.
Daniel W. Evans of the Canada Atlantic Trans.
il Company Repeats Statement He
Heard Made by ST. Paul Rail
way Company Official.

David w. Evans of the Canada Allan
tic Transit company, that does business
by rail and lake, was in the city on Tues-
day comforting with business men in re-
gard to shipments, Mr.. Evans says he
recently met with a man prominently
connected with the st. Paul road, who
informed him that the company inter-.
ed to build to Manitowoc ju.Ss. as soon as
it was possible He thought the line
would be extended from Sheboygan,
though the Green Bay plan was by no
means to be disregarded until the com
pany had thoroughly looked up the route
that would be most advantageous.
Mr. Evans thinks that Manitowoc has
a great future, but it will need the push
OF the people themselves to help tho
good work along. The residents, he
says, cannot sit supinely and let outsid-
ers do it all. He predicts that the rail
way companies of the United States will
before long combine into one gigantic
monopoly and the onlp hope of the peo-
pie, from It's tremendous force, will be
lake traffic routes and that Manitowoc
can count herself as strictly in it when
it comes to this.
In connection with the rumors about
the St Paul railway company's plans, it
is interesting to learn that parties are
negotiating for the purchase Of the Lee
heuer tract Of land adjoining the little
Manitowoc river, and that the tract to-
gether with the property in that locality
will be used, it is said, for the purpose
Of some railway company for car ferry
scheme, The heavy expenditure and in
convenience which has handicapped the
car-ferry route through Green Bay the
past winter, while Manitowoc harbor
has been open, will compel the St Paul
to come here it is thought.
Congress, SO the rumor goes, will be
asked to dredge what is now called the
little Manitowoc river for slip and tho
name East River will be substituted for
the proposed new harbor.
