From the ssoberly Democrat.

From the Aoberly Democrat
Alb G. Dingle is telling a new story
to his friends. at happened in a
small place in Oklahoma, where / was
staying one day last fall,n said Mr..
Dingle to a small crowd Of friends
yesterday. II had just left my Gus
TONERS and was going to the hotel to
dinner. Almost in front Of it-itis on
a side street, just off the inevitable
square, load Of loose hay had upset,
and a little German boy was working
laboriously to put it back on the wagon.
He was hot and dusty, and looked very
tired, but he was not accomplishing
much. / called to him.
Hey there, boy, come in and get
some dinner; you look tired. Then you
can go back TO work again.,
"But the boy shook his head.
'Nein,' he said, 'Fadder wouldn't
lige it,
oh, come now | insisted, think
ing his father had gone TO get a drink,
and left him to do the work. That's
all right; you come with me, and I'll
fix II with the old man.
'Nein, ladder wouldn't lige it, he
answered again.
"But after much pleading / got him
to join me, and we ate a hearty meal.
AS we finished l turned to him and
said:
Now sonny, II you will tell me
which place 'Fadder' went TO, / will
go and get him and make him come
back and help you. Where is hep

Dawes Poisoned Again,


Bud Dawes is 10 a critical condition
for the past week at his home s
miles southwest Of this city and his
symptoms Indicate arsenic poison. His
mother-in-law, Mrs. Joe Miller, Of
Mexico, has also been complaining but
her condition is not considered 50
serious.
This is the second time he is known
to have been poisoned and some OF his
neighborS say it is the fourth time.
The first time he had a physician call
to see him was on the 9th OF last No
vember. At that time he and his wife,
his fath~er-in-law, his mother-in-law,
Miss Vertna Crawford, OF Mexico, and
two n~eighbors, who took dinner with
them, Mrs. Robert Marshall and
Miss Josie McMahan, we're quite sick,
but all recovered and it was generally
supposed that the poisoning was ac-
cidental.
At the present time, however, there
is a belief that some one poisoned the
food and IL is intimated that an in
vestigation will be made. Mr.. Dawes
was moved from his residence to the
residence Of his mother last Sunday
and 1t is believed that be will recover.
Mr.. Dawes was married about three
years ago TO Mrs. Phillips, daughter
OF Mr.. and Ms. Jos. Miller, of Mex
leo, and the young couple located on a
farm owned by Mr.. Dawes. They
have one child, a boy, about one year
old. Mrs. Dawes father and mother

Teams Preparing the Worlds
Fair Site in st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. u.-Fifteen hundred
men and a hundred teams were put to.
work this week on the site Of the
Worlds Fair 10 construct the sluice
that win run through that part OF the
grounds to be occupied by the main
group Of buildings. This sluice will be
4S feet wide, fifteen feet deep, and a

and planked and covered from view.
The construction Of two miles OF sew
ers was also begun this week. The ex-
cavati0n will be done largely BY
trenching machines, and a large ad-
ditional force will be employed. Two
thousand men presented themselves
for employment ON Wednesday morn
ing, a considerable portion OF them
finding work. From this time on the
Worlds Fair grounds will be the scene
Of great activity. Building plans and
construction details are being prepar-
ed with all possible rapidity and with
the completion Of the sluice and sew
ers sixty days hence work on buildings
will be under way. The Louisiana

over its predecessors in several ways,
IN that 1t has its administration
building and the several buildings Of
Washington University practically
ready for occupancy, IN open winter
that will permit construction work
the year around, and an abundance OF
money with which to carry on the en-
terprise. The weather curing the
last fortnight has been clear and
mild, the temperature ranging from
40 TO go during the day, falling to the
freezing point at night. The organiza-
tion Of the exhibit and other executive
departments is being perfected as fast
as the right men are found and com

One Oyster Ped 7h zen


The Philadelphia North American
says:
A most remarkable oyster recently
been taken from Niagara river by two
Buffalo fishermen.
The shell alone, without the meat,
weighs 2l2 pounds, and Is two feet,
eight inches across and nineteen In
ches broad. IL contained fifty genuine
pearls.
That IL might be proven that this
wonderful tale was no "ish story" the
oyster was placed on exhibition for a
week at a Buffalo saloon, where the
public was hidden TO come and see II.
The meat was cooked and made in
to a stew, which filed to the brim two
e%ight-quart pals. Seventy-hye men
partook Of the repast IL furnished.
The fishermen made the find when
their net caught on a snag Of some
sort and held fast. As the water was
shallow, not more than waist deep,
o OF them Jumped from the boat To
investigate and found the net attach
70 what seemed a big rock.
IL was covered with a white sub
stance resembling lime, and It's peculiar
appearance induced the fishermen TO
take 1t ashore with them. There,
when 1t was washed OF, they discover
ed, to their amazement that they had
a mammoth oyster.

HEAD NOT TURNED BY WEALTH,
Day Laborer Soon to Come Into $l2,.
900 Per Administrations
From an Uncle IN South
Africa

SYRACUSE N. Y, Jan. 9.-William
Barry's most recent piece Of good luck
reads like a fairy tale. Having been a
poor dollar-a-day laborer from the age
of ls 10 a. and expecting nothing
better, suddenly finds himself the
heir to e2s0,0O perhaps ss50,0Oo.
Lucky Barry is what his friends
began TO call him years ago, because
he was singularly fortunate in getting
good jobs at his business Of laying
pavements and Of finding money and
articles Of value. His recent good
fortune bears out bis reputation.
Two months ago Mr.. Barry read In
the newspapers OF the death OF his
fathers brother, Charles NJ. Barry, in
South Africa, and soon after be was
notified, through an agent OF a New
York law firm, that he was n Of the
heirs TO his uncle's estate OF 81, 600, 600.
Charles NJ. Barry was a bachelor who
formerly lived in the village Of Cleve-
land in oswego County. He had one
sister, Mrs. Ada Cook, now OF Fulton,
and four brothers-William, Frank,
Robert and John.
After the civil war Charles Barry
went to South Africa, became interest
ed in diamond mines and finally
amaSsed a fortune.
Right after his death, neal Pretoria,
last fall, United States Consul General
Stowe, while in New York placed the
settlement Of Barry's estate in the
hands Of attorneys there, with instruc-
lions to look up Barry's family, as he
left no relatives In South Africa and
had made no will.
The attorneys found that, OF the
four brothers and one sister, Mrs.
Cook and Robert Barry are living,
William and Frank are dead, and the
whereabouts OF John cannot be ascer-
tanned, leaving Mrs. Cook, Robert
Barry and William Barry's son,
William, Jr., the asphalt worker, heirs
to the 81, 900, 900. II John is located he
will receive his portion.
"My uncle left no will,n said Mr..
Barry to-day, ''and the estate is to be
settled at once. 1t will take several
weeks before everything is strsighten-
ed out. l have always known Of this
uncle, but since my fathers death l
had heard nothing Of him and did not
know how much be was worth. There
is nothing speculative about his pro-
perty."
Barry lives In the rear Of a tenement
at sol North State street. With the
assistance Of bis wife he was laborious-
ly writing letters on the kitchen table
to-day when he told about bis coming
wealth.
"No. | won't try to be a swell" he
said, "nor will | try to teach Wall
street how TO make money. I'm no
lamb. I'll stay right here, and / won't
lose my head, though my income is
sl2, 900 a year.
"When you've knocked about almost
from the first you can remember, and
worked hard, and been out Of a job,
and gone hungry, and been on the
anxious seat for twenty.odd years, you
get to know how much a dollar is
worth"
