under their mothers, and the big bull leader standing outside of the bunch, head down and paving the ground, ready for charge in any direction. Sim gle animals. or two or three together, run only to the nearest rock, ledge, hilltop or other natural feature, which may af- ford them some protection in the rear when they turn and face the enemy, falling an easy prey to the rifle. As will easily be seen, this pecullarity means their extermination in any locality within a very few years after man gains foot hold.
 If there is not much skill required in killing musk-oxen, 1t frequently requires quick eye and trigger to save a dog from being crushed or tossed, mangled, into the air. It also requires some experi- ence to kill each animal with a single bull let. With the light cartridge of the Win chester carbine. the only safe shot Is back of the fore shoulder through the heart or lungs, and in late fall and win ter. when the animals coat is very thick and heavy, even this is not always sure. With the 45-90 cartridge my own favor ite shot is just back of the ear; frontal shots are entirely useless unless the bull let can be placed over the lowered head into the back of the neck or under the muzzle into the chest
 Though the danger to a man from the charge of musk-ox Is very possibly a real one, have never yet seen any mem- Der of any of my parties in peril even of slight accident on this account.
 Ihe skin or the musk-ox Is too heavy for any use except as bedding, though
 the short-haired skin of the legs I have occasionally used for heavy winter boots.
 The meat of the musk-ox is as good as any beef, and 1t is only when the ani- mals are allowed to remain uneviscerated Tor night or day, after being killed. that the meat acquires any husky flavor.

IS IT A CRIME E.

From the Tuscaloosa Times.
 The Advertiser has a smoewhat sting ing attack on MT. Tunstall in his can didacy for speaker. M
 The principal objections urged are that he is a railroad attorney, bound hand and soul to his employers.
 MT. Tunstall is not the only railroad attorney in the next legislature. If men are to be barred from their seats on this account 1t is doubtful if a quorum can be secured.
 In spite of the Advertisers attack he will probably reach Montgomers with the strongest following for speaker.

THE MusK-ox.

By Com. Robert E. Peary, in Frank Les
 He's Popular Monthly.
 Hunting musk-oxen in northern Green land and Grinnell Land, though entailing great deal of work, Is not difficult, and seeing the animals is tantamount to se- curing them. Either from natural stu- pidity or as the result of their freedom from molestation in their Arctic fast nesses. they are comparatively tame.

'Tn times of cholera, typhoid and other infectious diseases, butter is dangerous thing to eat'' said an old citizen. A med- ical man In Egypt gives this receipt for making it harmless: " 'Sterilize the local article by standing it in a covered jar surrounded by boiling water which should be allowed to simmer for two hours; the jar should then be put on ice, and the butter beaten with an egg whisk until it becomes solid again."

DEAD EASY.
SETTLEMENT IN BANKRUPTCY
MADE IN SHORT ORDER.

One of the easiest settlements made
in bankruptcy since the present law
went into effect was made in the case
Of william A. Hartley of Olive, Ky,
who filed his petition in bankruptcy
several weeks ago. yri. A
He was at the time in poor health
and growing worse. His assets
amounted to several thousand dollars
and while sick in bed he called his
creditors together and proposed to
settle with them on rs cents on the
dollar, which was accepted. This WAS
done just prior to the confirmation of
the petition and now all the trustee in
bankruptcy in this case has to do is
to distribute the money at the per cent
agreed on before Hartley's death,
which occurred shortly after.

BOXERS FACTORY.
NEGRO EDUCATOR TO OPERATE
ONE, 1T is SAID.

n Richmond, Va, May 27-Booker
washipgton's ideas for the industrial
development of the negro in the south
are to take practical shape here. The
initial step is to be the opening of .
large tobacco factory to be controlled,
directed and operated by negroes. 9th
or enterprises, including machine
shops aud . large commission and
wholesale house are to follow. The
tobacco factory will be called the" Ne
groes' Friend" and tine labor to be
employed will be the most skilled to
be found among the negro race. Smok-
ing and chewing tobacco, snuff, ci-
CARS, cheroots and cigars will be made.
A delegation of colored men have
been in the city for the past few days
prospecting and looking for a suitable
site for the factory. An offer has
been made to large manufacturer here
for his plant as it stands with all the
equipments. No decision has been
reached.
The meeting is the outcome Of a
movement here last year of the Ne
groes' Business League. The local
league is to be in the immediate con-
.rol of the proposed enterprise, and stu
dents from Tuskegee institute will be
put in charge. Washington is backed
in his scheme by Andrew Carnegie,
who recently donated 5000, 900 to Tus-
kegee institute. .... ........

CAUTIONi

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and q remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and
treatment OF consumption and throst
and lung troubles without losing its
great popularity all these years, you
will be thankful we called your atten-
ton to Boschee's German syrup.
There are so many ordinary cough
remedies made by druggists and 9TH
era that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe coughs,
bronchitis, oroup-and especially for
consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup The 20 cents size
has just been introduced this year.

CROP REPORT.
NEED OF RAIN IL SHOWED BY
THE LAST REPORT.

The weekly crop bulletin issued by
the weather bureau is out today and
il a. follows ..t.
Very high temperature prevailed
during the week. In the western por.
tion OF the state. and In some localities
in the central section, aud IN few of
the extreme northern counties. there
was a good rainfall, but in other por.
lions Of the state II was entirely too
dry or the light showers did not give
sufficient moisture TO be of any benefit
to growing crops.
Wheat has improved slightly, but
will be a short crop. IL has headed
low and heads are short; in some 10.
calities IL is injured by rust.
Corn Is doing well In the western
section. but in the central and eastern
sections IL is not coming up we'll, and
planting has been delayed BY tho
drouth.
In the western section tobacco
plants are plentiful and in good con-
dition-nesrly halt the crop has been
set: but in the central and eastern
sections very little has been set and
the plants are suffering to some extent
from the drouth. ..... A.,
Rye is generally reported to be in
good condition, but oats are not prom

Grass is improving rapidly in the
west, but is suffering from Lace Of
rain in the east and Genital counties.
Potatoes and gardens arc late, but

appointed to preside in the Powers

see that the defendant gets fair tri-
al, something the latter has not had
yet. Prejudice has always played a
more important part in securing YER
dict in the cases than testimony, and it
has been due largely to the judge pre-
siding, that incompetent evidence was
permitted in order to arouse the pref
udice of the jurors, most, If not all of
whom were rsbid Democrats. The tri-

POLICE DRILLED
IN ANTICIPATION OF TROUBLE
WITH STRIKERS.

Kansas City, May 27-The police
department of Kansas City, acting
under special instructions from Gov.
Dockery and the police commissioners,
have made unusual preparations 10
cope with any emergency that may
arise in the event of q strike of freight
handlers, teamsters or other employees.
Probably the most suggestive feature
of these arrangements are the new
Krag Jorgensen rifles supplied to the
department, and the bundles of band.
ages and lint piled in the surgeons
rooms.
A large reserve force of police is
held at police headquarters night and
day, and the entire force is being
drilled in the manual of arms. The
freight handlers of Kansas City are
awaiting word from Chicago whether
or not to strike, and 1t is expected that
the order will be to strike.
The freight house of the Union Pa
cific and the Great Western railroads
are not interested in the strike. At
these two houses the freight Is all
handled by negroes, and they are sat
isfied with their work and pay and
have made no demands. The other
railroads have observed this, and the
plsn is. If the strike comes, to let the
old workmen go and to fill their places
with negroes.
The Frisco railroad brought car
load of negroes to the city this after
noon from the South. The negroes
were guarded by armed white men.
