1AE NORTHERN PACIFIC HIGHT.

While the great battle of Thursday in
Wall street was over Northern Pacific
stock, IL an effort by two interests TO
secure control of the road, the atmos-
phere is not sufficiently clear at this
writing TO state results. There is out
standing ss0,0O0.000 of common and &c.
100000 of preferred stock of Northern
Pacific, so that contest for the balance
Of power involves big figures. The Nor
gln-Hill interests declare they have
CROUCH stock of both classes to control,
While on the other hand the Hartman
Kuhn-Loeb party are understood to be
confident that their side has won in the
great fight. The question of which side
has majority of stock. it is said, may
not be finally settled before the books
close this week for the annual meeting
If Northern Pacific directors.
One of the Wall street news bureaus
made this statement after the fight: ut
is authoritatively stated that the princi-
PAL matters In dispute regarding the af-
fairs and policy of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company are at deadlock,
from which a change is hardly to be ex-
rected before the arrival here of j. p.
Morgan. The agreement of last night
appears to have been prompted wholly
to relieve the actual short interest un-
Willingly and unwillingly cornered
From unauthoritative sources claims of
control have been heard in favor of both
sides. Parties who frequently speak on
matters concerning j. p. Morgan & Co
insist with vehemence that the control

The Rush of n Shell.

on the way. doing terrible execution.
Passing in front of British soldier, a
big shell gave him such shock that
he instantly fell dead.
In one of our wars two officers, stand
ing side by side. saw a shell coming.
They stood apart, and it passed be-
tween them without touching either.
But one officer lost the sight of both
eyes. and the other instantly became
blind in one and soon lost the other
also.
In another battle soldier had just
stopped to help a fallen comrade when
shell passed over his back. He fell
forward quite disabled, and for months
after he could not stand erect.
A curious accident Of similar kind
happened to an American officer in the
Cuban war; He was galloping across
the field when a shell whiried past in
front Of him. His horse rolled over,
and he himself became unconscious.
On recovery he found that neither self
nor steed had been wounded, and he
knew that they had simply sustained
q severe electric shock.

The layman cannot easily realize the
vast amount of material as to food and
ammunition demanded by an army in
the field. A few facts and figures as
to this may aid to make 1t more tangi-
BILE. Each man requires, at mini
mum, three pounds and half Of food
per day. Each animal should have at
least 20 pounds Of food in countries
where grazing is not abundant. II we
take. for purposes of estimate, only 10
pounds required to supply each animal
leaving five pounds to be gathered from
the country by grazing and otherwise,
we assume a quantity that may be con-
sidered a minimum.
An army of 10000 men would re-
quire about $4,000 animals for trans
portation Of artillery, camp equipment,
ammunition, food, hospital and med
ical equipment. There should not be
less than 10000 cavalry. There should
not be less than 10000 animals avail
able at all times to supply losses. This
makes a total of 10000 animals to be
fed. With this as a basis we see that
the daily demands would be for the
men $4,000 pounds and for the horses
100000 pounds, or an aggregate Of
1,S75,OOO pounds. This is equal to
something more than 636 tons per day.

The late Dan Rice, the famous circus
man, was fond of boys and always
wanted to see lot of them, in his audi
ence. He never gave a performance,
says the Cleveland Leader, when the
hooks and corners We're not filled with
youngsters who had come in free.
One story of this sort was told by
Captain George J. Grammer. At the
time of the occurrence Grammer, who
lived in GAINESVILLE, o., was standing
one afternoon with crowd Of other
boys looking longingly into the tent,
but not having the price of admission.
1t was Mr.. Rice's custom to stand at
the door until the first grand entry Of
the circus people, when he would
leave. On this occasion he saw the
hungry look on the faces Of the boys
and called them around him. "You
want to go in, don't you, boys?
"Bet your life!" shouted back the
youngsters.
"Tll tell you what. All the boys who
are back here in ten minutes with clean
faces and hands get in"
The words were hardly out of his
mouth before there was dash for
the Muskingum river, and in less than
seven minutes 200 clean faces and
hands came back to the tent. The
boys went inside with rush.

A North Side dentist Is sure to be call
ed "a mean man" by some of his wo-
men patrons when they learn Of the
trick he has practiced upon them. 1t
happens sometimes that even rubber
dam will not stop the flow of wOman's
speech, and although the dentist being
young man, is not averSe to little
pheasant talk" now and then with a
patient, yet If she persists in telling
him her personal or domestic history
during the iilling of tooth, hindering
the work, while other patients wait in
the anteroom, it's a little trying to his
nerves and temper. The doctor is pO-
lite man; he does not ask the woman
to stop talking but says gently:
"Open your mouth, please"
There is silence for a few moments,
when the chatter begins again.
"Open wider, please" says the den
fist, more persuasively than before,
and the work goes on rapidly enough
until the patient seeing her Opportuni-
ty starts in again where she had left
off in the tale of everyday woes. The
clock strikes the hour Of the next ap-
poiDtment. The dentist seiZes the most
terrible of all his Instruments, his look
becomes threatening and his voice too:
"Please, now. open your mouth very
wide." The ruse succeeds, and the
startled but unsuspecting woman
stretches her mouth into an abysmal
yawn that precludes the possibility of
even whisper.
It's a mean trick.-Chicago Tribune.
