There Wa. No Duel.

Colonel Crisp when in the Missouri
legislature was one Of the central figures
in a scene which promised bloodshed,
which ended in q hearty laugh and
which was the cause OF IN astounding
remark from Hon. John W. Farriss, the
then speaker Crisp and another bel
ligerent son Of Anak got into debate
which grew into quarrel. They shook
their fists at each other aud roared like q
pair Of Numidian lions. Everybody ex-
pected and many hoped to see regular
old fashioned knockdown aud drag out
fight. which expectation and hope were
frustrated and dashed to the ground by
Speaker Farriss remnrking:
'.!s yon gentlemen do not omit 1m..sn:
and take your seats, will order the
chaplain to take You into custody!'
which so amazed the bellicose legislators
that they stood in a state Of linguai pa
ralysis, while the spectators laughed till
they were red In the face. Humor saved
the day.-Champ CLARK N Denver Re.

MYSTERY OF 4 BOOK.
Il Took Five Years to rina where j

Il Took Five Years TO Find where Il
Was Hidden.
"Once in awhile something out OF the
usual happens in the daily life OF govern
ment clerks which serves to break the
monotony OF the work, said clerk in
the interior department.
Occasionally in all of the departments
records OF papers will mysteriously dis
appear, and how they got away or where
they went remains always an unsolved
problem.
"About five years ago a large book con-
tanning the records used in one of the bu-
reaus Of this department suddenly disap-
Speared. How it could have got out Of
the room without hands was unaccount-.
able, us 1t was bulky, heavy volume. It
was OF no value as salable article, and
the motive Of the theft was as inexplica-
bic us it whereabouts.
"Diligent search was made at once, but
to no avail. The search was not given up,
however. and was afterward periodically
made in hopes that 1t would be found in.
an unexpected place.
And it was found in such q place a
few days ago. One OF the clerks happen
ed to look upon the seat of the chair Of
another clerk elderly lady with poor
eyesight-and there, under piece Of out
er covering, lay the big book. The lady is
q short person, and the book had faith
fully preserved its records and held her
up for five long and weary years without
complaint. There was general laugh
at her expense. but the chief was very
glad 1t was eventually found in the Office.
"Oihcial papers are often blown from
the desks Of clerks into the street. Some
times they are of Importance, but usu-
ally they may be replaced with a slight
delay constituting the only loss.
"A clerk carelessly laid Eve $40 bills
on his desk in room on the Seventh
street side of the former postottice de-
partment building on pay day few
|. years ago. It was during the prevalence
of the high wind preceding heavy
thunderstorm. A minute later the bills
were taken up by gust of wind and
went sailing in all directions high in the
air above the street. Where they landed
was never known, for none was recov-
cred.
THE clerk took his loss philosophically
when he got over the shock and said that
while he had heard Of it raining cats and
dogs. he could testify in any court thas
! he had seen it ruin crisp new $40 bills in
Washington.

liable papers disappeared. 1t was thought

4 GLASS EYE.
Compromising Advantages Fer th.
Man Who Wears It.

ComDensating Advantages Fer the
Man Who Wears Il.
MANY people think" said Mr.. Lnwlor
of Kansas City. that Of all the accidents
thnt can happen to human being the
loss of eyesight is by fur the worst. This
I grant you, when eyesight is completely
gone, but where q man loses single eye
there are compromising advantages. We
all know Of the man whom the untu-
tored savage was about to burn at the
stake. When he removed the artificial
eye he carried, he was straightway re-
leased, made mighty medicine man OF
the tribe and finally escaped with every
thing portable or OF value belonging to
his captors. Then there's the man who
bet to q standstill large circle OF men
who were looking for good thing and
found it in themselves. His bet was that
he could stare steadily for five minutes
with one eye at the sun in the full glare
OF midday aud never wink. He wop
hands down.
These are two cases where glass eye
was of distinct advantage to its owner,
and can bear personal witness to 2
third. 1t happened in poker game !
was in. AS is usual in poker games, the
jack pots did not come often enough, and
the inevitable suggestion that the services
OF buck be enlisted was Immediately
forthcoming A buck is some object
thrown into the pot. which goes to the
winner. When the deal reaches that par
ticular man. it is a jack pot, the buck
again enters the ring nnd another jack
pot ensues, when that particular winner
is reached, and SO on ad infnitum, and
generally, to portion Of the party I'D
nauseam.
This particular evening the suggestion
met with approval. and we were hunting
for something to use us a buck. when one
of our number, extracting his artificial
orb. put it on the table in front of him,
with the words. How will this do for q
buclsy 1t wouldn't do ut all. We hastened
TO assure him, but he accomplished his
object. for he bluffcd every one. We
couldn't separate our united gaze from
that eye, aud when the evening ended
he had to hire a wagon to carry his plum
der away. There is no doubt" concluded
Mr.. Lawlor, that the possession Of Q
glass eye is not wholly without its com
pensations."-New York Tribune.

DENIES COURTS JURISDICTION.
Answer of Standard OIL Company in
the Nebraska Suit.

Lincoln, Neb., March 3l.-The attorneys
for tie Standard Oil Company to-day filed
an answer to the petition Of the attorney
general before the Supreme Court TO pre-
vent it from dcing business in the state
on the ground of violation of an antitrust
statute. The answer Of the Standard Oil
Company denies the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court
Referring to the allegation of the At
torney General that the Standard OF. Com
pany had Violated a section Of the crimi-
nal statute the answer recites as follows:
"The sole basis of the plaintiffs cause
of action IS the charge that the defend
ant has violated said criminal statute and
has been guilty of a misdemeanor there
UNDER
1t is asserted that no complaint has
ever been flied or any Indictment return
ed charging the defendant with violation
of any of the provisions of the criminal
code and that no prosecution has been
commenced against it under the statute
referred to.
other points of unconsututionality are
cited as follows:
Because the penalty to be suffered by
the defendant is dieproportionate to the
nature of the offense. In brief, the an
swer denies that it is a party to trust
or agreement and attacks the law under
which the suit was instituted on ten
charges of violation of the state constitu-
ton and three charges Of violation of
the constitution of the United States, be-
sides denying the jurisdiction of the Su-
preme Court to try the case.

AFRAID OF FITZsIMMONs.
Whnt Champion Jenries Says About
the Other SluSEers.


Chicago March 31.-"They are all afraid
Of Fitzslmmons, and to tell the truth, !
would rather fight ten sharkeys, dozen
Corbetts and all the McCoys you could
bring before me than fight Fitzsimmons
again"
This assertion was made to-day by
Champion James ]. Jeffries. The cham
picn arrived in Chicago to-day from Kan
sas City. Jeffries was asked what he
thought was the trouble with Fitzsim-
mons and why the Corn.shman could not
get any matches that could be made to
stick THIS is Jeffries idea OF the stu
alton:
Mccoy knows in his heart that he can
not beat FitZsimmons. Sharkey would as
soon be dropped into a bear pit. l viii not
say about Rubin, but l guess the big
fellow would take a chance, for he has
never felt the might Of that freckled fist
of Bob's. l am satisfied none of them
care a bit about Fitzsimmous' game!
and have a fear that he may wind them
up in hurry, as he can do.
"Fitzsimmons is one of the greatest
judges of distance l ever heard Of He
can get away from a punch by the mar
rowest margin, always keep himself in
hitting range. and, best of all, can hit
from almost any position. l must take
off my hat to him. He is far and away
the best man | ever fought. You may
have heard that before from a victorious
man, but l mean it in this case, and
am not head over heels in love with Fitz-
simmons personally at that"

Editor OttendOrfcr Talks on the
Free Silver Question.

Editor OttendOrfcr Talks on the
Free silver Question.
New York, March 3l.-The World will
say:
Oswald Ottendorfer editor of the State
Zeitung, was interviewed by World re-
porter on the political issues of the day
and the prospects of the coming national
campaign.
Personally, and speaking for myself"
said Mr.. Ottendorfer II would prefer Bry-
ans election to Mckinley's recollection. In
my opinion the Kansas City Convention
would do wise thing by remaining silent
on the free silver issue. / do not suggest
a trimming of sails TO fool the people on
the money question or that the conven-
ton should repudiate the platform of 1896
But there is no reason why the 16 to 1
issue should be brought forward this year.
1.-The Democrats rarity has a great OPP
portunity ifs it looks forward and not
backward. A great majority of the peo-
pie of this country do not wish to be
forced to vote for Mckinleyism, imperial
ism and mflitarism, and l am convinced
that thousands and thousands of voters
who four years ago preferred Mckinley
to Bryan are now ready to prefer Bryan
to Mckinley. OF course they might pre-
fer to vote for some one in place of Bry-
an"
DO you think Bryan would have a
chance of winning2'
Yes, if he and his friends do not in
sist upon a radical reaffirma ton of the
Chicago platform. The Republicans have
only one hope of re-electing Mckinley, and
that hope is that they can again make Is
to l the issue against the Democratic
party"
