through a small window In the old
horse car stables in Manchester. has
Just come to light. The story as relat-
ed by Mai. Selden. and sworn to by
several of the most reliable men in
his employ, is as follows: The black
smith, Henry cambridge (who has
since died) was required to go to the
stables daily to examine and replace
all shoes that had become loose Cd
been lost while the mules were at
work. On the occasion referred to
above he had purchased new sheep
skin apron, which the mules had never
seen, and when cambridge went into
the stall without warning, one of them.
Bet" became alarmed at the sight OF
the leather and leaped through the
open window to the ground outside.
Maj. Selden says he came in about this
time. and upon learning the cause Of
the excitement, ordered the man to go
back into the stall, and when he START
ed the mule reared up and was about
to repeat the performance. He feared
the mule might not be so fortunate
in the second jump and told the man
to come out Of the stall. The Mag
gle" mule, says Maj. Selden, jumped
through window the same size on
the opposite side Of the stable, and as
far as he could discover, upon close
examination, neither Of them received
the slightest touch. He says tracks
were plainly visible on the outside
where the Bet" mule landed and
made an effort to turn and again face
the window, she being still halteped to
a scantling on the inside. The halter
chain, four feet long, was attached TO

MIR. KRUGER MAY VISIT Us.
The Transyaal President Wants to See
Mckinley.

Mckinley.
New York, Jan. 5.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says: 1T is almost certainly de-
cided that Mr.. Kruger will go to Am
erica in February, probably accompan-
led by w. r. Stead, who will make a
ringing campaign in behalf of stopping
the war.
THE correspondent saw Mr.. Stead
just before he left for Paris in COM
pany with John L. Milholland, who
bore an invitation from prominent
New Workers to Mr.. Krauger to visit
America While in Paris they will
see the leaders of the arbitration move
ment in Europe and decide definitely
on plans. Mr.. Stead said:
1.-The time has come for President
Kruger to play his trump card and
boldly declare his intention to visit
President Mckinley in order to plead
with him the cause of the independence
Of the South African republics. Kruger
is looked at askance in Germany and
Austria, because he is the president OF
4 republic, but he thinks this will not
be regarded as a disqualification for
his reception by the president of the
greatest republic in the world.
I" He does not believe the American
government is Indifferent. to the war
the Beers are waging against the Brit
ish monarchy. II he goes to Ameri-
ca he will go as a president to visit a
president. He will probably arrive in
New York in the middle of February.
The state of his health is not regard
ed as likely to deter him from crossing
the Atlantic. He had believed the yoy-
age would take a fortnight, and is
much pleased to hear he could make it
in seven days.
Ills movements somewhat depend
upon the health OF the car, who is
now quite well and had intended to re-
turn to st. Petersburg on Jan. %, but
the influenza has broken out on the
Neva. and it is a dangerous malady
for those just recovering from typhoid.
The czar will probably go to Tsarskoe
Selo. II President Kruger went to
Russia he would have a superb reccp-
ton, and at every station in Germany
between the Dutch and Russian from
tiers he would receive ovatlons.'"

an attorney and collecting agent at
Hume, small town in the northwest
part of Edgar county, received an in
fernal machine containing a pound
stick of dynamite through the mails
this morning. That he, together with
John Sheets and Will Brouck Jones,

ar to the one received by Attorney Cof-
