Rome. Aug. 2S-Mgr Guidi has been ap-

Mgr. Guidi has long been looked upon as
one of the coming men among the trusted
officials attached to the Bureau of the Car
dinal Secretary of State at the Vatican.
He was regarded as the most promising
rival to Mgr Falconio for the appointment
as delegate at Washington, having in the
various important trusts committed to his
care displayed signal ability and diplomat
ic skill.
As long ago as october 90 of last year

former auditor of the Washington delega-

formal appointment of Apostolic Delegate
to the Philippines.
He started for Manila by way of the

LONG FIGHT OVER A STEER.
Farmers Spend Thousands of Dol
lars in Legal Battle.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

Macon, Mo-. Aug. 2S.-John Massengale,
wealthy Macon County stockman, through
his attorneys, has flied in the Charlton
County Circuit Court a motion TO compel
his neighbor over the county line, Elijah L.
Rice. to put up a $500 bond 10 coyer the
of scrub steer worth, possibly, at 4 gen.
erous estimate, $50. Rice was the appel
liant from the Justices court, and 10 get in
the Circuit Court he produced a $500 bond
Since the case got in the Circuit Court
there have been two trials, and a hearing
in the Court of Appeals. AS the majority
of the residents in the neighborhood of the
warning farmers were witnesses, and as
there were many other incidental expenses
pending the long litigation, the costs have
now reached prodigious proportions. The
case is on the docket for trial next week at
Salisbury, but Massengale's attorney will
ask a change of venue from both the county
and district
The steer. described in the petition as be-
ing 2-year-old, of a dark red color and
small white spot in the face, with split un-
der half crop in right ear. of the value
of $50 began to get in the thoroughbred
class when Massengale instituted replevin
proceedings against Rice before Justice NJ.
J. Lain of Bee Branch Township. Charlton
County, in November. 1899. The plaintiff
claims the animal had wandered from his
premises over into the domains of Rice,
and the latter had persistently refused to
give 1t up. Rice said 1t was his steer and
Massengale said it was his. There have
been two trials before Justice Lain, two in
the Circuit Court and one in the Appellate
Court at Kansas City. Honors have been
about even. Massengale received the YER
dict at the trial before the Justice. Rice
was awarded the decision in the Circuit
Court, and then Massengale won a reversal
in the Appellate Court. According to the
run OF luck the next victory goes to Rice.
but Massengale's lawyers think they will
break the run next time.
Friends have gone to the litigants and
urged a settlement before they spent all
their money in lawsuits. Before he per-
fected his appeal some one kindly disposed
approached Massengale and said it would
the thing.
Certainly" said Mr.. Massengale; I'm
willing to do what's fair at any time, but
you must start your negotiations by agree
ing that that steers mine. After that It
Will not take much trouble to get over the
little matters of cost"
The steer still lives. Indifferent to its
great and increasing value. and doubtless
willing to assent in the justice of the ulti-
mate decision.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

| REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, Aug 2S.-An airship race IS
the attraction promised for Manhattan
Beach next week. The Aero Club claims
that IT has 4 man who will make an ascen-
sion in Santos Dumont's ship, and Leo Ste
vens says he will surely give the Dumont
ship race If it goes up on next Wednesday
or Thursday. Anyway, race or no race
there will be one ascension next week ana
maybe two, if the Aero Club keeps ITS
promise.
Leo Stevens is just now putting the lin
ishing touches on his ship. and by next
Wednesday will be ready to take a night
He will go up on that day If there IS Ia
yorable inland breeze. In case there Is not
he will wait until Thursday. Then, ne
says he will make the ascension regardiesS
of the direction, although he prefers
| breeze blowing inland, as he wants 10 ~
out to sea against the wind.
Stevens has been working on his patent
for three years. and has spent the entire
summer constructing the ship that is now
waiting to fly. One peculiar feature of the
shin is that the double-bladed propeller Is In
front instead of behind. 1t pulls instead OF
nusbes The rudder is attached to the rear
of the machine frame.
The rrdder will be used only for going 10
the right or left. When Stevens wants to
rise he will slide seventy-two-pound CAMS
ter of water to the rear; when he wants 10
descend he will slide the weight forward.
He thinks this method of tilting better
than a rudder built to accomplish the same
ends.
Who VIII Ride in DumOnt Ship!
Several persons have asked Stevens to let
them go with him, but he will take no one
on his first flight, as that flight will be an
experiment He does not know what Will
happen or where he will go. One thing is
certain; the balloon will lift the ship up in
the air. and then it remains to be seen
what the steering and propelling apparatus
can do.
The Aero Club, which owns the Dumont
ship at Brighton Beach, will not make pub
lie the name of the man who, it is claimed,
will fly that ship. 1t is said that the man is
a wealthy scientist and will make the trip
from scientific interest purely.
1t was first reported that mile a Minute"
Murphy, who won fame on a bicycle behind
a fast-fying Long Island Railroad train,
would make the trip. This is denied. 1t is
also denied that Mr. West of Toledo o., will
make the trip, but it is asserted that some
man will take the Dumont ship up in the air
and try to steer It around.
Hundreds of persons have written letters
offering to take the ship around the statue
of Liberty or anywhere the Aero Club want
ed il TO go. There are always persons will
ing to sacrifice everything for fame.

st. Louis Man Has Specimens of
the Dreaded Boil Weevils.

Doctor E. W. Hall of No. 2931 Olive street
was yesterday showing his friends some
boll-weevils that he has just received from
the cotton fields of Texas. These insects at
times do great damage to the growing cot
ton, and the devising of means for their an
initiation has often occupied the attention
of Southern planters.
The insect has the appearance of a small
spider, but is furnished with wings The
most noticeable feature of its makeup is a
long, protruding bill, which enables it to
bore into the young bolls or pods of the
cotton. The weevirs favOrite time for at
tack is when the boil is about the size of a
large pea.
The insects made their appearance three
years ago. coming from the Gulf Coast
Wet weather is favorable to their propasa-
