PHOTOGRAPHS AS PROOFS.
They Are About as Conclusive as Figures
 That Never Liep

Speaking of freak photographs, :" said an old newspaper man, reminds me of a singular little incident About three years ago, if you remember, story went the rounds of the papers that flying machine had been seen maneuyering in the air at a number of different places in the middle west authenticated, and it was certainly strange that the same yarn should come from so many widely separated points. One day while the thing was being generally talked about, certain ; : journal received photograph from @ n Nebraska showing an enor-
 lf-shaped machine caught in
 ? of huge oak tree. According 10 ..-9 story that accompanied the pie tuae the aerial nayigators had at tempted to land and fell foul of the oak. There was no doubt as to the genuineness of the tree in the photo, and it was at first thought that the machine had been painted in,' which is an old trick with pictorial fakers. When an expert was called in, how ever he declared positively that the picture had not been doctored, and on the strength of his opinion a reproduc- tion was printed. How the trick was done afterWard leaked out. It seems the photographer first took a separate picture of small pasteboard model of flying machine, which was only about a foot long. One of the beauties about photography is that you can make everything the. same size, and the photo of the model was as big as the photo of the tree. The model was then cut out of the picture with a pair of scissors and pasted on top of the branches of the oak, and a new photo graph was taken of the combination. It was the most deceptive-looking job ever laid my eyes on. n.'-New Orleans Ilmes-Democrat.

Buffalo Intelligence.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch: A big bull buffalo had an injured leg, and it was operated on with cocoaine and antiseptics, few days ago. It Ffas not an easy task for the yeterin- ary surgeons, because a buffalo is a powerful animal, and he does not like any one to take liberties with him. Eiut the operation was performed and the buffalo evidently felt better after i@.. Now the great creature goes will i1gly to the side of his cage when the surgeons approach. He knows them and remembers that they relieved him, and there is no sign of anything but pleasure on his part when he sees them.

THIS HERO WORE NO UNIFORM
He Braved Death in PoisonoeAs Well
 to Save His Neighbors.


 From the Kansas. City Journal: Near Maple City, in Cowley county, one day last week. Farmer John Ste- venson and his hired man went down into well to clean it out Both were overcome by foul air and were stone dead when taken from the well. On the same day, at the little village Of Catharine, in Ellis county, similar catastrophe resulted in bringing forth hero whose name is worthy of enrollment among the best and great est. Paul Meis went down into his fathers well after a fallen bucket. He was overcome by the gas and became unconscious. William Pelzel bravely went down after Meis, and he in turn Succumbed to the deadly vapor. Then Paul Keoner went down after the other two and met a similar fate, and this was the situation when Henry Karlin arrived on the scene. Without a mo- ment's hesitation Karin had rope tied beneath his arms and silk hand kerchief over his face, and he was then lowered in the well carrying an extra rope. Reaching the bottom he hastily tied the loose rope around the leg of man and the man was hoisted to the surface, Twice this operation was re- peated, and then Karlin was hauled out, he having become unconscious just as he finished tying the rope on the last man. All four remained uncon- seious for long time, but doctors finally succeeded in bringing them around. Neither Pelzel nor Keoner knew the danger they were going Into, as they had never heard of water gas, bat Karlin did, and he took the chances like bero

cred Danes.
 London has many queer things In the huge extent Of it's area, but none queerer than its women guardians of the streets, for London, unknown to most of its inhabitants, has police force the like of which does not exist in any other city on earth. In order to see 1t work you must get up very early on Friday morning and visit Co., vent Garden market. There you will see such block of traffic and such a crowd of angry and unreasonable driy- CTS that you will not be surprised at the Metropolitan police giving up the duty of keeping order as an impossi- ble job. But still you will find that things come right in the end, and on looking to find how this is brought about you will probably be shocked to discover that Covent Garden has a po- lice force all to itself ill the shape of some hundred or so of old women They dart in and out among the cars, order the drivers to stop, or back their horses, or move on. They shout and swear and shake their fists and catch the horses heads and, if necessary, shy turnips or potatoes at the drivers. But they always succeed in having their own way. But for these women 1t is believed that 1t would be necessary to read the riot act every Saturday morn- ing in GoYent Garden. As it is, the women police make a comfortable liv- ing out of their profession, the drivers giving them daily tips, while the pro- prietors pay them fair salary,

The man who struck Corporal Sloane is

Summing it up, we eight had to stand

The ordinance requiring the street rail-
way company to construct and operate
a line on Randolph street, from Seventh

g. talk from Mr.. Mum, who said the
line would cost $75,00u, and when COM
pleted 1t would run in a district where
there were but thirteen families. The
company intended spending 100000 for
new cars this year and should not be
called upon to sexpend money without

There is no doubt whatever as to the
merits of Morrcw's Kid-ne-oids judgfns
from the good results obtained right here
in this city.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are used dafly nv
many ST. Paul citizens, and they all tes-
tify without any hesitancy about the
great good they have received by the
use Of this great kidney preparation. Kid
ne-oids will positively cure kidney back
ache, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness and all urinary disorders arising
from disordered condition of the kid
neys. Another citizen adds his testimony
as follows:
Mr.. It. r. Carey, captain of the fire
patrol. of $40 Western avenue, says: For
the benefit of people who are suffering
from kidney backache, nervousness and
sleeplessness and other symptoms of
deranged kidneys I desire to state that
was relieved of these troubles by using
Mcrrows Kid-ne-oids. OF course I will
tell my friends about Morrow's Kid-ne-
ODDS and what they did for me, and Will
also permit my statement to be publish
ed, that many others may learn of this
grand remedy"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but

at all drug stores, and at Ticknor & Jag

SEINE RIVER GOLD FIELDS.
They Are a Scene of Busy Activity
Even I'm Mfdwfnter

Even in Mfdwinter.
Mr.. Ed. R. Jones, of Mine Center
Ont, is in the city. Mr.. Jones has just
come down from the Seine river gold
fields, where he has been for the past
yearin charge of the large supply store
Of L. Hamel & Co. While Mr. Jones is
not a mining man, their store in Mine
Center is headquarters for leading min
ing men of that section of the country.
Said he:
Il know very little of anything about
mining, bat 1 am in section where
every one talks mine and hear more or
less about the various properties. Just
now, people of our section are very much
elated over the building of the Ontario
& Rainy River railway, which passes
through the very heart of the center of
the Seine river gold district, and will
make many Of the properties that have
heretofore not been worked, more ac-
cessible, and allow Of the taking in of
machinery
I'VE have two dividend payers In the
Seine river district; one of them 1.-THE
Olive, which now has twenty-five
stamps In operation. 1.-The Olive started
out with two stamps two years ago, and
has greatly increased, until now it has
twenty five. and the coming summer
seventy-fiVe more will be Installed In this
property.
''They are now taking off the plates an
average of s. per ton and they are mill
ing everything across the huge dyke 200
feet in width. They brought down the
day l came, $1,000 in gold bullion, being
the result of twenty-five days run.
Golden Star, however, up to date has
paid greater dividends for the same
length of time than any other mine in
Ontario; the Golden Star when 1 left, was
In five feet of ore at depth Of 522 feet,
and many people were talking about the
richness Of the ore deposit struck at a
500-foot level.
Another property which is attracting a
great deal Of attention just at present,
is the Randolph, which was down at a
depth, Feb. l, of 1e1 feet Supt. Berger
informed me the day left that the four
feet of ore that they had been in for a
distance of twenty-five feet. had widened
somewhat, and the values We're increas-
ing. 1t was the intention of the man
agement to eross-cut at a depth of 16O
feet to three other veins which lie to
the west of the Randolph vein; but the
Randolph vein was looking so good at
that depth, that it was decided to sink
stu farther before opening up the other
veins by a cross-cut.
The miners at the mine are talking
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-02-16

very enthusiastically about the richness
of the ore being shown up. 1t is a pretty
good sign of their opinion of the rich
ness of the Randolph that they have
purchased and hold stock in the company
1.-The Randolph certainly Is one of the
richest of all our mines. Another prop
erty that is being worked is the lisa
bella" adjoining the Golden Star on the
west; camps are being erected on this
property, and sinking will be resumed
within few days. The Foley is beirg
reopened by the English syndicate and
will be operated on large scale.''
