TRIBUNE LOCAL OBSERVATIONS
Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1901-05-07
NEW YORK's BLIND L1oNEss
She Is Very Fond of He's Keeper and
Knows Him from All
Others

The Central park n,enagerie at New
YORK has great African lioness that
is totally blind. One would scarcely
guess 1T from her appearance, how
ever. She walks up and down her
cage just the same rs the other mem
bers OF the cat family and she knows
just as well as the animals that have
their sight when one of the keepers
comes near, says an exchange Of that
city.
Alice is more fond of Keeper Shan
non than any of the others; he feeds
her, When Shannon approaches she
puts heF nose close to the bars and
osciliates her Rhiskers knowingly, as
much as to say: ~ know you, Mike
shannon. just as well as II 7 could
see you. Where is my meat?1
Shannon says that Alice is about
rs years old and has been blind for
five years. Since she lost her sight
her senses of hearing and smell have
become keener than ever. When Billy
Snyder comes from the elephant
house to the lion house direct Alice
becomes restless and ugly. She
growls and snarls and lifts her nose
in the air as il she scented danger.
Snyder says that the lioness can
smell the elephant, and it reminds her
| of the days when she was a rowing
yonhgster in the jungles. He believes
that Alice muat have had a muss OF
some kind with an elephant

K1DNApERs OFFER GOLD,

Call on Detectives,

Omaha, Neb., May IAN agent of
the kidnapers has made proposition
to Edward A. Cudahy to return S21, O0C
of the money paid for his sons ram
som, demanding in return withdraw
al of the $4,000 reward and cessa-
ton of the search that is being prose
cuted, together with an abandonment
of the determination to punish the
criminals.
The proposition came in letter
from Elgin, Ill.,, and Mr.. Cudahy is con-
WINGED of its authenticity. He went to
Chicago ten days ago because of it,
being summoned there by his brother
in response to overtures that had been
been made. He refused to consider it
for minute and declares his IN
changed resolve to prosecute to the
end the search for the men who stole
his boy.

THE wRECKING TRAIN.
Short Work in Clearing Away
mash.Up.

The giant steam crane, the lever of
the whole system of wreck-clearing,
was showed forward until it's long arm
and great hooked hand stretched
eagerly over the wreckage, ready to
revolve upon it's wristlike base in any
direction, writes Percival Ridsdale, in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. Like
the claws of an immense lobster, a
pair of telescope outriggers spread
from each side of the car to give it
stability, and two pairs of heavy three
inch clamps, connecting with heavy
bolted rods to the base of the car,
We're attached to the rails under it.
1t was as firm as permanent founda-
ton, and the powerful crane was
ready for its work, whether the lifting
of a complete locomotive or one of the
heavily-loaded freight cars. The
crane rested upon massive steel bed
plate in the car body; this was saucer
shaped, and received through it's CEN
ter pin the tension due to the load
upon the crane. Upon this casting
was an accurately turned roller path,
upon which the jib thrust was taken.
To the frames of the crane We're Sc
cured the boxes for the shafts operat-
ing the mechanism for hoisting the
load, Slowing the crane and varying
the jib radius Its engines were
double, with cylinders of nine-inch
stroke. Flexible Wire rope was used
for hosting, and there was sufficient
length of rope upon the barrel, when
the block was detached and single
line used, to allow the hoisting hook
to reach rs feet from the cranes
jib.
Now, my hearties," cried Mcguire,
you'll see the big beauty walk right
through that wreck. Get at it,"
With cheer the men went to work.
Heavy chains were placed about the
caboose, the crane hook was attached,
the whistle footed gleefully and the
caboose, raised inch by inch, was hoist
ed two feet in the air. Another lever
was pulled, the crane swung majestic
ally around, and with firmness and de-
cision the caboose was landed 20 feet
down the embankment

GERMAN TROOPS WITHDRAW.
| tured-No Further Expeditions
| Expected.

Berlin, May lit is stated by Of
fcials here that the main German ex-
peditionary force in China is now
withdrawing to its former position,
leaving garrison at the pass at the
great wall.
The non-participation of the French
in the battle was not due to orders
received from Paris, but to their fail
ure to arrive in time.
Further expeditions are not pro-
iected and will be undertaken only
sary.
In official circles it is believed that
Gen. Liu acted upon his own initia-
tive, or, perhaps, at the suggestion of
some anti-foreign mandarin, officials
not believing that the Chinese govern
! ment ordered Gen. Liu to resist the
Germans, since such action is plainly
against the governments interests.
Picking, May 1.-Gen. Voyron. COM
mander of the French forces. is about
leaving Peking for Tientsin. He will
make his headquarters there and SUI
pervise the reduction of the French
troops who will be gradually with
drawn in accordance with the wishes
of the ministers of the powers who de-
foreign troops should be begun imme-
diately.
Tuesday Count Won Waldersee sent
the reply of the generals to the views
of the ministers regarding the min
isterial question discussed Monday by
the generals in conference. The reply
agrees in the main with the sugges-
tions submitted by the ministers and
names 800 as the number of troops by
which each of the powers shall be rep
resented in the garrisons at Tientsin
and Shan Hal Kwan.
Berlin, May Official dispatches
have been received here confirming
previous dispatches from Peking to
the effect that Maj. Gen. Won Guyl has
been appointed chief of staff to Field
Marshal Won Waldersee, succeeding
Gen. Schwartzhoff. who lost his life in
the fire that destroyed Count Won Wal
dersee's headquarters.
London, May DIR. Morrison. wir-
ing to the Times from Picking, April 90.
protests that Count Won Waldersee's
policy of punitive expeditions has
.thrown the greater part of the prov
ince of Chilli into anarchy and disor-
der This is SO complete" he says,
chat the neighborhood of Picking is
now more unsafe for foreigners than
at any previous time since the occupa-
ton began. The trade with the inte-
rior is crippled. The only armed Chi
nese are robbers and Boxers. Restitu-
ton to the Chinese of territorial juris-
diction has become paramount need"
The correspondent mentions incidents
ally that neither the British legation
nor Gen. Gaselee was notified of the
expedition into Shan-Si.

WORST PERIL OF THE SEA.
Boiler Explosions Are Considered
the Chief Terrars of a Sail
Or's Life,

Among the many perils that sur
round sailors life there is nothing
he breads more than n boiler explo-
SION at sea, Such catastrophe is
bad enough on dry land, but when it
happens many miles from land on a
stormy sea there are additional hor-
rors to it. Every year the number
of steamers which disappear and
leave no mark behind to tell of their
fate runs well up toward 100, y
typhoon may sweep down like light
ming out of clear sky and tear a
ship to pieces, but some floating
wreckage is sure to tell the tale \
boiler explosion, on the contrary, will
blow hole as big as a tunnel
through the bottom of the ship, and
down she will go, leaving nothing be-
hind her to tell of her fate. She
sinks like SHOT. There is no time
| to launch the boats or cut loose a
spar to which to cling. Sailor men
believe that 90 per cent. of the mvs-
FERROUS disappearances of steamers
on the sea can be accounted for by
boiler explosions.
The modern system of steam boiler
inspection for ocean-going steamers
is strict, but it is impossible to guard
completely against fraud and care
| lessness There ia an old story of
drunken engineer who ini..ook the
| thermometer for the steam gauge and
cursed out" his stokers because he
could not get the pressure above so
pounds. That is galley yarn" 1t
will not hold water" yet there are
cases almost as bad, which can be
authenticated
