The A palIing Conditions in

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 23.-
Rev. r. c. Elliot, a missionary at
Mazatlan, Mex, in a letter to A.

ditions existing in the plagne-
stricken city as horrible beyond
anything that has been heretofore
received. The letter follows:
"Mazatlan, Jan. S.-Dear

thank you very much for your

MORTGAGED PROPERTY.
Boy Jumps From Frying
Pan Into the Fire.

Macon, Mo =, Jan. 21.-Thru a
conscientious desire to settle an
obligation to his father, so he
claims, Martin Tahney, aged %,
has been placed in Jail here on the
serious charge of selling mort
gagged property,
In the early part of last year
young Tahney got into a scrape
with the First National Bank of
Macon, was arrested and jailed.
The boys father, Matthew Tah-
ney, a well-to-do farmer, living
near Atlanta, settled with the
bank on the boys promise to re-
turn the money as soon as he
could. A few weeks thereafter the
boy went to VIM. Keel, a farmer,
and purchased a fine mare for
$130, giving his note and mort
gage on the mare aud also on
three head of horses which, it is
said, had been dead for years.
Two days thereafter Martin rode
the animal over into Knox county
and sold it to a dealer for $40.
The money he turned over to his
father, and until the note fell due
all things were serene in the Tah-
ney homestead. The disclosur q
came when the note was presented
by the cashier of the Atlanta bank
and the security was looked up.

Case of Vaccination.

employers, Truax. Greene s. Co.,
insisted that she be vaecinated,
from which illness resulted, Miss
Grace Voorhees, has brought suit
against the firm for $50, 900 dam
ages. Miss Voorhees, asserts that
she was able to earn 800 a month

submitted to the vaccination be-
cause she thought it would be pro-
perly done aud that she could not
retain her position unless she did
submit She AYERS, however, that
the vaccination was not well done,
that from its effect she became IN,
aud that she never again will re-
gain her strength.

A MISSOURI MULE.
The Courts Asked to For
bid His Braylng In
Public.

Binghompton, N. Y, Jan. 23.-
Hon. John B. Stanchfeld. late
Democratic candidate for United
States senator, has been retained
here by the st. Louis wrought
iron range company in one of the
most peculiar actions ever brought
in court of law. The principal
party in the contest is a healthy
mule" with an excellently devel-
oped "bray," which is owned by
the st. Louis wrought iron range
company, and a permanent in
junction is asked for to restrain
this mule from braying, thus in
juring the business of the Drake
hardware company, a rival con-
Germ. The complaint alleges that
both concerns have agents on the
road selling their goods. The
agent of the Drake company has
been followed from town to town
lately by the agent Of the wrought
iron range company, who has
been furnished with trained mule
by the st. Louis concern. Whe u
the Drake agent reaches a town
and gathers a crowd of grangers
about him, the st. Louis agent
drives up and the mule begins to
bray, keeping it up until the
crowd is broken up. The Drake
company has in this manner lost a
great amount of business, directly
chargeable to the mules bray, and
the court is asked to forbid the
mule to again bray in public Oh
before a crowd of possible Drake
customers.
Attorney Stanchfeld, as coun.
sci for the mule, is one of the lead
ing attorneys in the country, anC
as he never takes a case without /,
retaining fee of less than 81, 900
the mules expenses promise tt
come high, but the st. Louis com
pany is evidently determined tC
fight it out regardless of expenses
The argument is set down for I
special term of the supreme court
to be held at Rochester the last o
this month, and in any event the
defeated side will appeal the de
cision to the appellate division
and from there to the court of ap,
peals, as this is the first question
of the kind that has ever arisen il
New York state courts.

$IOl FOR A HEN.
That's the Price for a Barn
yard Fowl at a Poultry
Show.

The Kansas City journal last
week contained this interesting an
nouncement:
One hen sold for $1O1 at the
close of the poultry show at the
ArmOry Wednesday night. Not
the goose that laid the golden egg,
nor even the geese that cackled
and saved Rome, but a plain old,
everyday biddv hen, which lays an
egg at time, whose eggs spoil as
those of 25f hen, and whose
meat would make no better fried
chicken than that of thousands of
other yellow legs! Think! One
hen, $101.
This surprising event certainly
marks the limit in the sales here.
When one heard of Belgian hare
that went for 81, 900, one won
dered, but th7n, a Belgian hare is
not common beast, aud its fur
will make seal coats if properly
treated. Buta hen-a common
old barnyard fOwl-such as sets on
eggs, for $101. Whew!
