Young Man AstOnished the Clerks In
Bank by n Feat of balancing.

A young man from a wholesale house
down on the river front presented a
check at one of the banks the other day
and while the money was being counted
out amused himself by balancing coins on
the narrow edge of the paying teller's
window. Finally he performed an as
tonishing feat. He first balanced sill
yer dollar so it stood up on edge, then
placed a half dollar edge to edge on top
of it and completed the pyramid with
bright new quarter His manipulation as
he deposited the coins one on the other
was beautifully delicate, and the specta-
Gle of all thre, standing without support
made the teller's eyes protrude from their
sockets.

the young man carelessly, and, sweeping
the coins with deXterous grab, he drop

money and strolled out. 1t was not a

hands began balancing silver or, rather,

as any one could get. For an hour or SO
there was silver all over the floor and
the bookkeeper had to make good dollar

another check.

trick Of yours yesterday" remarked the
teller as he handed over the bills, "but
none Of us could do 1t. You're right when

TAYLOR EXPLAINS.

Bls Reasons for Granting Pardon for As.
cused Persons.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 13.-Acting'
Governor Taylor, in explaining his
reasons for granting pardons to all the
men, in prison and out, who are ac-
cused of having guilty knowledge of
the assassination of Governor-elect
William Goebel, said: believing that
each one of said persons is innocent of
any completely in said crime, and
further believing that the enormous
reward will secure the conviction of
these men, however innocent, I deemed
tiny solemn duty to issue pardens to
them in order that these political con-
spirators might not be enabled to de-
prive them of their liberty or their
life. The guilty men should be pun
ished, but designing men controlling
the courts should not be enabled to
she'd the blood of innocent men, and
it it is in my power to prevent it /
pledge myself in the name of God and
humanity it shall not be DONE"

NEWS TN GENERAL,

Reason to Believe the United States HaA
Used Its Good OMces.
( WAsH1NGToN, March 13.There is
reason to believe the United States
government is using its good Offices to
restore peace between Great Britain
and the South African republics.
This has not taken the shape of q prof
Fer Of mediation, but the United States
might very properly serve as an inter
mediary to transmit an appeal for
peace and the terms upon which peace
can be restored. The United States
las successfully served in this capacity
N the past, notably in the termination
of the China-Japanese war, and it is
believed its good offices in this line are
now being extended If this belief is
well founded, thea Adelbert Hay,

to the British government, through
the double Intervention of the depart,

Grand Jury Is Investigating Charges
Against HIM.
WATERLOO, March 1.-THE grand
jury of Black Hawk county is investi-
eating the charges of embezzlement
preferred against A. /. Breckenridge,
late secretary of the Perpetual Build.
ing and Loan Association, by the
stockholders of the concern. At a
meeting of more than 100 stockholders
it was decided not only to push the
case, but at the same time to continue
the organization of the association re.
gardless of the fact that the amou t
embezzled had now assumed large pro-
portions. The report showed that the
total amount of the embezzlement
charged is $21, 790.O1. The operations
by which this shortage in the funds Of
the association was brought about the
report showed were begun in 1895,
three years after the secretary had
been installed. 1t was explained to
the stockholders that the shortage as
shown on the face of the report would
amount to about IL per cent of the
entire stock in force on the installment
plan, but there are bondsmen holden
for $12, 900, and if these bonds are paid
the actual loss to the members will be
only $9,79O0s, reducing the RESPONSE
bility perceptibly.

has made another movement in the in
terest of good roads. At the March
session of the board of supervisors,
which has just closed, $4,000 were
transferred from the county to the

regular road tax, will make a large
sum for the improvement of the high
ways. The county already has several
miles of nacadamized roads, and the
farmers are so well pleased with the
condition that they are anxious to
have theimprovements extended. The

Compels Beers to Abandon Fourteen

OsFoNTEIN, March S.-Lord Roberts's
forces attacked early yesterday morn
ing. General French turned the
northern part of the position Of the
Beers, who fled, leaving gun and
large quantities Of forage and tents.
He is now in pursuit. The Beers on
the north bank are also evacuating
the position.
LONDON, March s.-Lord Roberts
wired yesterday morning from Osfon-
TEN and in the evening from Poplar
Grove, fourteen miles eastward. By
an application of the elementary prin-
ciple of strategy, the Boer positions,
fifteen miles long across his path, have
been emptled and their holders have
been obliged to retreat in confusion
consequent upon hasty withdrawal.
Nothing was done by Lord Roberts to
disturb the symmetry, the deadly in
genuity, of the Boer trenches in front
of him. Hesmarched out infantry es-
timated, from the commands named, at
10000 men, and sent 10000 horsemen
md horse artillery in bold sweep
around the Boer left, whereupon the
Boer center and right became unten.
able. Fifty British fell when the cav
airy came into contact with the Beers.
The correspondents differ as to the
enemy's strength. The Daily, Mailt
representative thinks the Beers num-
bered something more than 4, 1000. The
Daily News man estimates them a..
10000. AS these ures come from
observers at headquarters, it is cles !.
