A WOODEN MENAGERIE.
Strange Collection of Imitation AMI
mails Made by Ohio Man.

''Aena gerie Farm" near Columbus
o., looks like a scene out of Alice in
Wonderland"
Hugh Z. Jones is the owner and OPP
orator Of the farm. and for years he
has been hard at work with iack-knife,
saw and plane fashioning strange and
wonderful creatures. Snakes that can
not crawl. giraffes that have never
looked behind them, wild bOars with
legs they cannot bend and tails they
dare not move, elephants with no taste
for peanuts-such are the animals to be
seen at Menagerie farm
Mr.. Jones frankly admits he is re-
sponsible. but has no apologies to offer.
Although he has come within speaking
distance Of eighty years. he keeps right
on whiting, saving and planning, al
ways adding animals to his menagerle,
When he wants an elephant he does not
correspond with his agents over seas.
He hunts up a good thick stick for
body a shapely root for trunk,
smaller one for a tail, small straight
sticks for tusks and legs, some broad
pieces for ears, and, going into his
studio in the WOOdShed. soon turns
out an elephant that cannot be bribed
with a barrel Of peanuts. To turn out
good. respectable looking snake re
quires a little more research for roots
shaped in snake fashion are not found
every day. But once in hand. Mr.. Jones
can turn out of such a root a snake
with more real characteristics than
would be supposed. Mr.. Jones readily
makes wild boars when he has the ma

But Mr.. Jones has not confined him

artistic career. Occasionally he carves

to have improved on the original design
he has developed some points that

For the first time in history Topeka

Friday noon and continued through the

Arabs In rapine and pillage. and this
morning a few remaining lobster nip

the story of what happened.

SHOOTING BARELY AvERTED.
Sheriff Teeter of Washington County
Arrests Armed Man.

Washington, Sept. S.-(SpeciaD =
Ed Bell is in the Washington county
Jail and can thank Sheriff Teeter that
he is alive today. In making his ar
rest Saturday night the prisoner show
ed resistance and was only overpower-
ed by the skill of the sheriff Both Of
ficer and prisoner drew guns at about
the same time. The sheriff covered the
man and made him lay down his big
44-calibre revolver. Bell had been
shooting in the Brown residence where
he was spending the evening, and was
trying to escape when approached by
the officer. There had been quarrel
with other occupants of the house.
Bell figured in a railway camp episode
at Buffalo recently. Charges of a seri-
Gus nature may be preferred against
him by the state.

dency is to eliminate anything in the
nature of speculation or over-exten-
sion from general business. The manu-
featuring industry shows continued ac-
tivity, except in such lines as cotton
and silk productions, which note the
Influence of special conditions, and
some lines of iron and steel. Evidence
of the approaching slackening in the
output of anthracite coal is to be seen.
Some Improvement is noted in the
car scarcity trouble and gross earn
ings of railroads continue large, but
the increased cost of operation or
heavy improvements limit the net re-
ceipts.
Failures show only the usual mid
summer volume as far as number is
concerned, but August suspensions
foot up larger total of liabilities, par
tlcularly of small financial institutions
and manufacturers. Collections are
still rather backward though some
improvement is noted where back
ward crops have been realized on.
Dry goods are in better demand
from New York, Philadelphia and
Boston jobbers, but business with
first hands is limited by the uncertain.
ty as to the outlook for raw cotton
and the prices of small stocks of
goods now being carried. In wooden
goods a good demand for spring
weights is noted, but worsteds drag
slightly.
Lumber is active and firm at the
west but rather slow and draggy at
the east, where labor conditions are
not altogether settled.
Prices of iron and steel as whole
show strillingly little change. Hard
ware trade is fully up to expecta
tons.
Wheat, including flour, exports fol
the week are S,l32,000 against 6,276,
600 this week year ago. For nine
weeks of the fiscal year 2S,210,00(
bushels against 100000 in 1902
Corn exports for the week are 500,
600 bushels against $1,000 year ago
For nine weeks of the present cerea
year 9,194,O0O bushels against 776,OO(

Worlds Record Broken.
A worlds record was broken yester-
day at South Bend, Ind, when the
fast bunch of ballists termed that
name allowed but one score in TWEEN
ty-six innings. The headliners of the
Central league were South Bends op-
ponents and two games were played
which resulted in victory and a de-
feat for each team. The first contest
did not come to an end until the sew
enteenth inning, when Fort Wayne's
left fielder, Slear, made the lonely tai
ly. Fort Wayne secured ten hits off
Ferguson but the superb fielding of
the second raters allowed the only
score made. The second game was
not so exciting, South Bend winning
by score of 3 to 0. Ostdiek caught
both exhibitions and made three put
outs and two assists in the first and
lonesome put-out in the second.
