In many parts Of the great west in
Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas, etc,
there are colonies OF ants which col
lect from q considerable distance many
little stones OF about Q uniform size
and put these on the outside OF their
ant bills, Some Of these little pebble
stones they get from the inside Of their
houses as they b4rrow, but most OF
them they collect from the surface Of
the Land near by, Teeth also Of field
mice and gophers on other small ami
mails they bring to the outside OF these
ant bills, and II Indians camp near
them the ants pick Hp for the same
purpose all the little beads dropped by
the sgHaws, After the Indian camp
has broken Hp and moved away many
Indian beads can usually be found on
the outside Of the ant hills, Wide
awake natHralists never fail carefully
to examine these hills for various
specimens that the ants have found
and used To decorate their homes

THE DAVIS ESTATE.
Petition for Partial Distribution in Massa-

Boston, Nov. 5-Judge Grant of the
Suffolk county probate court today

Judge Grant said that it did not
seem equitable at this time to grant

REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT OF
CARRYING NEW YORK.
INDIANA ABSOLUTELY SAFE
Statements Given Out at Republican
Observation-Disclosures of
the Situation.

New York. Oct. ). - Gener-
ally speaking, the republicans con
cede that Bryan will carry greater
New York. On the other hand the
democrats admit that Mckinley will
carry the state if greater New York
is excluded. The differences of opin-
ion ARISE on the question of pluralities
that the democrats are conceded in the
metropolis and the republicans are
conceded i'll the upstate districts.
At the republican national head-
quarters Jos. H. Manley, Senator
Scott, of West Virginia, and Fred
ericks Gibbs, of New York, gave out
the following statements respectively:

state by a good margin.

Were equally impatient to be off.
The braves were either leaning

OFFERS TO SETTLE WITH HEIRS.
Northern Pacific Shows Inclination to Do
the Right Thing.

The heirs OF the late Mrs. Earnest
have received a proposition from the
Northern Pacific railroad company for
the settlement of any prospective
claim that they may hold against the
company for damages for the death of
their mother in the railway accident
at DeHart last Sunday night, says the
Yellowstone Journal. The company
offers to pay each of the five children
81, 900 each in full settlement of the
claim. Mrs, Butts, the mother Of the
unfortunate lady, has received from
the company the pair of ~spectacles
now broken and bent, that were worn
by Mrs, Earnest at the time she met
her death, together with a personal
letter of coincidence.

Jabez Afford of Winsted, Conn,
hunted for a penny for CD years. He
found it recently just where he hid it.
1t Is Of the haintage of 1913.
1t is the first penny Jabez ever earn
ed. He was 10 years old. The copper,
the Foundation Of the fortune he
dreamed Of, looked very big indeed to
him. He hid it in a crack in the floor
near the hearthstone of the house of
his father, Deacon Jabez Afford. Weeks
passed, and the thrifty young Jabez
went to get his hidden treasure. He
could not find it. His father, mother,
sisters and brothers all truly declared
they had not seen the penny.
I'm find 1t IL 1t takes me the rest Of
my life" cried the earnest Jabez.
The old Afford homestead is being
demolished. Jabez, now aged, but still
thrifty, has been on hand looking for

imbedded IN dust, was the penny,

REPUBLICANS ASSERT THEIR
RIGHTS IN NEW YORK.
CROOKED WORK CHECKED
Tamany's Chief of Police. Indicted
for Interfering with
Election Work.

New York, Nov. 5-The most sensa-
tional thing in New York on the eve
of election is the Indictment found by
a grand jury against Chief of Police
Deyery, IN charge of interfering with
the work of State Superintendent of
Elections John McCullagh. Chief
Devery's bail was fixed, and arrange
ments have been made for hearing the
case the day after election.
The Indictment has attracted a
great deal of attention in political cir
Giles. The points involved appear to
hinge upon the rights of men to wear
i'm their votes when challenged by IA
of the deputies of the state superinten-
dent of election.
The legal aspects of the case are in
teresting the state democratic and re-
publican leaders, for the reason that
it has been feared, that a clash might
occur at the polls tomorrow, between
the S, 600 policemen and 500 deputies.
At all political headquarters, at the
office of the chief Of police and at the
democratic club the cOncensus of opin-
ion seemed to be that the election
would prove a quiet one despite the
differences of opinion between the
chief of police and the state superin-
tendent, unless the unexpected hap
pens.

The malitia had to be called out to quell d riot at Johnson Station, Liberty county, Ga., between whites and blacks. The trouble originated in the murder of a white man by & negro.
 The largest consignment of gold bullion ever exported from port in the United States at one time was shipped on the steamers Teutonic and St. Paul from New York on the 18th inst. The yellow metal goes to England.
 When Pan Handle express train pulled into the depot at Columbus, O., on the 11th Chas. Lane. the ex- press messenger, was found dead iii the car with bullet through his heart The safe had been opened and robbed, and there was evidence of a fierce struggle between the messenger and his murderer, who turns out to be a former friend and employe of the express company. His name is C. R. Farrell, and in a confession he states that the murder was deliberately planned for the purpose of robbery. Through his acquaintance with Lane Farrell
  got permission to ride with him and the rest is already known.
 The two Union Pacific train rob- bers killed near Woodland, Kas-, last week are believedto be James and Tom Jones, Missouri and Texas des- peradoes. There is reward of s, 900 in Missouri and l,50O in Texas for the Jones brothers, dead or alive. Word from Springfield, Mo-, says the description of the robbers fits that of two men who were raised in Dallas county, Mo-, and who, after leading lives of des- peradoes in that state. went to Texas and piled their business there.
