NAUGHTY BROTHER UPsETs LOVE
MATCH.

NAUGHTY BROTHER UPSETS LOVE
MATCH.
Jasper Oglesby, young man Of
Lincoln, ILL.,, met Miss Ida Rogers,
a young woman Of Greater New
York, on the steamer st. Paul last
month and the trouble began.
It appeared to be love at first sight.
They saw each other for the first
time on Tuesday and on Friday
the engagement was announced to
the ships passengers. The man
next to Miss Rogers on the deck
gave up his place and young
Oglesby moved his chair there.
As the liner steamed up the bay
people said what a handsome
l'couple they were and wished them
| Joy. Trouble met them at the
dock.
Jasper's brother, back at the old
homestead in Illinois, is a member
Of the governors staff and i'm
portant people. When he heard
of the proposed nuptials Of the
young traveller he wired the police
to arrest Jasper if he attempted
to wed. The young man then left
for the west and Miss Rogers went
to her home in the borough OF
/ the Bronx.
Some influences were brought
to bear on Jasper that affected his
regard for his fancee, for after a
short talk with his brother he an
nounced that the engagement was
only joke. Miss Rogers, how
ever, thought otherwise. She had
given her heart to the dashing
young Lochinvar from the west,
and was playing him for keeps.
She swears she will not believe
Jasper is false until he writes her
and tells her SO. Up>t date he
has not written her, but has con-
fined himself to discussing the
affair with newspaper reporters.
1--WE did not intend to get mar
ried for some time,' said Miss Rog-
ers, land there was no use in
Colonel Oglesby getting excited
about the matter. Mr.. Oglesby is
old enough to take care of him
self, and for that matter my father,
before he consented to the en-
gagement looked into the record
of the Oglesby family just as care
fully as the Oglesby family looked
up the Rogers history
Miss Rogers is 10 years of age.
She is a very handsome girl, with
large blue eyes and very black hair.
If Mr.. Oglesby let's his big brother
scare him off there will be lot OF
happy young men up in the bor-
ough of the Bronx.

SURPRISING WILL OF A COLoRED
Col. John Mckee, said to have
been the most wealthy colored
man in America, died at Philadel-
phia last week and left most ex-
traordinary will. Col. McKee's
fortune is estimated at 100000,
consisting of improved real estate
in Philadelphia and farm lands in
New Jersey. He had been men,
Der of the Presbyterian church all
bis life. and yet left his entire for
tune to the Catholic church NAM
ing Archbishop Ryan as trustee.
His daughter and other near rela-
tives were cut off with small an
nuities.
The terms Of Col. McKee's will
provided: First, to build Catho-
lie church, rectory and convent in
Mckee City, N. j., and, second, to
build and maintain charitable
institution in Philadelphia for the
education Of both white and COL
ored male orphans to be known as
"McKee college
The education of the beneficial
ries of the will is to conform as
nearly as possible to that given at
the naval academy. The executors
are directed to negotiate. with
the secretary of the navy for the
use of a battleship or cruiser on
which advanced pupils may be
given their final training.
Col. Mckee was buried with the
funeral services of the Presbyte-
rian church. After the funeral
the will was read and caused great
establishment and comment. It is
thought that Col. Mckee intended
to dispose of his property in this
way for some time, as he was
nursed by two sisters of charity in
1898 and frequently spoke with
gratitude of the church that en-
couraged such good work. The
will will probably be contested.
CHILD SOFTENs BRIGANDS' HEARTS.
Had it not been for the Tsilka
baby, born in captivity, Miss Ellen
Stone and Nine. Tsilka probably
would have Jared badly at the
hands of the Bulgarian bandits.
AS it was they were kindly treated.
The child softened the hearts of
the outlaws. So says Miss Stone
who returned to America last
Thursday. Before the child was
born the missionaries received
rough and harsh treatment from
their captors; they were never
subjected to physical violence, but
many insults were offered them
and all the orders issued were per-
emptory; but after the advent Of
the little one all this was changed;
better food was served and warm
clothing given them and they re-
ceived courteous treatment.
Nine. Tsilka, according to Miss
Stone, was never held for ransom.
She was kept merely as chape-
rome for the unmarried woman.
Had she not been accessible, when
the capture was made, the first
married woman encountered would
have been pressed into service.
This, it seems, is part of the ETH
Quette of Bulgarian brigandage.
Miss Stone arrived in America
on the Deutchland. She suffered
from the sea voyage and appeared
somewhat pale and i'll. She is,
however, in good health and will
start on a lecture tour Immediately.

regular quarterly meeting in the
capitol, st. Paul, Monday after
noon. Twenty-eight applications

Elephants have q way Of remember
ing,injuries and kindnesaes which sur
prises men not accustomed to the
beasts. Z. L. Laysrd and his wife were
in Ceylon, in the Ambigamoa district.
They were journeying along gather
ing insects, shells and birds by easy
stages when they came to the station
of a road-making party, which was in
charge of Woodford Birch. Mrs. Lay
ard was interested in elephants, not
having seen any close at hand, so Mr.
Birch took her out to see large, fine
female. Mrs. Layard petted the beast,
gave it a bunch of plantains, which
were eaten with relish, and after MAX
ing comments on the beasts gentleness,
returned to the bungalow. There Mr..
Birch incidentally remarked that it
was violent beast, having killed two
keepers during the past month. When
Mr.. Layard heard that he reproached Mr.
Birch, while Mrs. Layard grew pale
Then Mr.. Birch said:
do you think 1 would have allowed
Mrs. Layard to go near her if there had
been danger? That elephant is the
guietest and best tempered beast in the
stud. She was quite right 10 kill the
keepers. They had robbed her OF, her
food. I had observed that she was
growing thin, and seeing only little
grain or feed in the box one day rated
the keeper soundly, in the presence Of
the beast. Next day he took her out to
work. She went along quietly till she
came to flat rock. Then she wrapped
her trunk about the mahout, put him
against the rock and with her forehead
squeezed his life out. The next man
she killed for the same offense."
Dan Quinton and Mr.. Layard were in
Colombo when Quinton heard elephants
trumpeting and wanted to go to see
them. One of the beasts was tied up
with more chains than the others, and
Quinton went toward this one, in spite
of the warnings of keepers that it was
a particularly vicious beast. Quinton
put his arm around the elephants trunk
and petted it, the elephant seeming
most pleased. Quinton had recognized
it as an elephant he had seen injured
by huge thorn, or jungle nail. The
keeper, in trying to pull the thorn out
had broken it off. In a few days in
hammation had set in. Quinton went
to work with knife and pair of pin
GERS, and the elephant, in spite of the
pain, allowed the man to take the thorn
out. He had recognized the beast by
the scar, and the elephant remembered
him after several years.

NEW RAILS AT BELTON.
Crew of Japs Engaged in I'm
LOADING Twenty Cars,

Bolton, Dec. 30.-An extra steel crew,
together with carload of Japs, arrived
here tonight and tomorrow will com
mence unloading twenty cars of new
steel rails. With the crew is party of
eastern railroad officials who are looking
over the ground. This is a new move.
If the rails were for use on the main
line, instead of being unloaded here they
would be distributed along the track at
points needed. 1t is probable that the
rails will be used for new sidings here in
anticipation of freight for use in the oil
fields.

Town his throat. Then he threw his
head back and bit angrily at it, opening
his mouth wide and coming down on it
with all his might. During this lively
process the piece of gum fell out of his
mouth, and he lay down on the floor all
tired out, and looked at the denied little
wad in disgust.
He is a gritty little fellow, and he
made up his mind he would get the best
of that stuff, whatever it was. So he
soon got up, walked all around it as it
ay on the floor, shifting suspiciously,
md then pounced on it suddenly. Of
course, it stuck to his paw, and then
he was angrier than ever. He finally
succeeded in getting it off with his
teeth, and then he went at it again.
He barked loudly, running around it
and pushing it with his nose, but he
would not give up, and after many
trials he began to get the hang of it
and to enjoy chewing it. The habit
has grown on him steadily, and now he
shifts around under the window-sills
and chairs, and if the small boy who
lives in the same house has left his
gum sticking around, he is sure to lose
it altogether. For Mike gnaws it off,
and putting his little stubby tail down
goes off to a corner, and for an hour is
perfectly happy.-Chicago News.

SUES FOR See, 900.
The Butte g. Montana Co. the
Defendant in a Bio Suit,

The papers in the biggest law suit in
the history of the county were filed with
the clerk of court Saturday in the case
of James A. Coram against the Butte &
Montana Commercial company. In the
complaint filed Mr.. Coram alleges that
at different times since December 9,
1897, the defendants had given different
promissory notes to the Globe National
Bank of Boston, Mass, for sums ranging
from $500 up to $65,916.37 and that he
had afterwards bought the notes from
the bank. He also claims that none of
the sums borrowed have been paid and
that the money is still due him. In the
aggregate the different notes amount to
the sum of $86,3735O and the suit is
brought for that amount with interest.
Attachment papers have been placed
in the hands of Sheriff Hand and all the
property of the company in this county,
consisting of sawmills, farm and timber
lands and town lots, will be attached.
Monday afternoon the B. & M. com
pany by their attorney filed demurrer
to the complaint of Mr.. Coram demur-
ring to each and every cause of action
upon the grounds that the complaint
did not state sufficient cause for action
and was ambiguous, unintelligible and
uncertain. The demurrer was heard at
the session of the district court Tuesday
morning and was oyerruled.

DOG THAT CHEWS GUM.
1t Required Some Time and Patience
to Acquire the Habit.

to Acquire the Habit.
Black Michael, or Mike, for short, is
the name of a little cocker spaniel living
in Lake avenue, near Forty-sxth street,
Chicago. He came all the way from Col
orado by express, nailed up in a wooden
box, with Stats across the top. On the
side of the box was painted in black
letters: please give me a drink" SO
that the baggageman would not forget
him.
Since he has lived in Chicago he has
acquired the peculiar habit of chewing
gum. 1t took him a long time to learn
that gum is not to be treated as food,
but is to be chewed forever and never
swallowed. Before he learned the way
of it he was very funny in his efforts to
dispose of gum as he was accustom
to dispose of everything that found its
way to his mouth.
The first time a piece was given to
him he chewed quietly at it for minute
or two When he found that it stayed
just the same size and would not sep
arate, he treated it as he would tough
piece of meat, put his head low down
and chewed with more energy. But
nothing happened, the queer stuff still
stuck together and refused to slide
