Hurt by an lcicle.

Special to the Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Dec. 1S.-An icicle
which hung from the caves Of the
round house, in the Illinois Central
yards, proved the undoing of Charles
Hunt, a wiper for the Central, on
Monday. The icicle proved it's right
to be seriously considered among the
causes which go to make up railroad
casualties, by cutting a deep cash in
the head of the luckless Hunt.

FELL DOWN HARD.
|aeic City Bowlers Prove Easy Vic
Tins for Butte.

Both teams were out of form and
neither one made the score that it
is capable of piling up when at it's
best. Unfortunately the Billings
champions were "off' the more of the
two and the result was hat they re-
turned yesterday morning badly beat
en- in Saturdays games with the
Butte bowlers. They have no excuse
to offer, further than that they were
"out OF luck and the balls failed to
do their accustomed execution when
they arrived at the other end of the
alleys. This is very evident from the
fact that the total of the five games
played was only 2,507, lower than
the team as such has probably ever
made in a like number OF games on
the local alleys. Butte also fell down
hard and could do no better than
make 1850 pins, only three more than
were knocked over by Billings in the
match with the All-Americans.

All trains arrived late today, having
been delayed by stormy weather in

An alarm called out the fire depart

was made, but the services Of thu
fremen were not required. The
blaze was located in a small bricl
house in South Second avenue, be

CONF1sCATION IN MOROCCO.
when an Official Dies His Property
and That of His Relatives Re.
yerts to the Crown.

Tt is a custom in Morocco that all the
property of an official reverts at death
to the crown. The logic which leads
to such a result is simple, for the gov
eminent argues that all fortunes thus
accumulated consist of moneys Illegal
ly retained by the authorities, says
Blackwood's Magazine. A governor
when appointed is probably possessed
of no considerable fortune. When he
dies he may be millionaire. Whence
came this wealth? Squeezed most GER
tainlv from the tribes under his au-
thority, and therefore amassed only by
the prerogatives of the position in
which the sultan had placed him. 1t
has never struck the Moorish govern
ment that these great fortunes might
more honorably be returned to the
people from whom they were stolen.
The result is entire confscation to the
crown, including often such private
property as his governor may have
been possessed of before his appoint
ment. and not seldom, too, of the prop
erty of his relatives.
When the mighty fall in Morocco tho
crash brings down with them their
families, even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them

fortunately perhaps. it's scarcity does
not seem a great hardship. 1t is easy
to believe that many MeNicans put on
a garment and that it is never re-
moved until the wear and tear of time
serves in the capacity of valet. But
sometimes reason is sufficiently ap-
parent for cleansing a garment, and
the process was witnessed by the
writer during one of those unaccount-
able rests taken by the trains passing
through Mexico, probably caused by
delay in removing drifting sand from
the tracks. The gentleman in question
appeared in the sand from nowhere
in particular with quart tin dipper
Of water and large piece of soap.
He calmly removed his shirt, laid it on
fiat rock, poured a tiny and brief
stream of water upon it. and rubbed
the soap on vigorously. Then he
struck it sharply with another piece
Of stone. He repeated the process UNI
til the water in the dipper was ex-
hausted-and it lasted some time

plant and 'placidly seated himself in

as washtub and board, and rested
