Queer Doings of a Rife Ball.

l myself made the most extraordina-
ry shot at an antelope that / eyer
heard of, which, however, has nothing
to do with good shooting, but rather
with the erratic course that a rifle ball
may take. With several scouts, white
men and Indians, / rode over a hill to
see three or four buck antelope spring
to their feet, run short distance and
then stop to look. l made a quick shot
at one, which dropped, and on going to
him l found him not dead, though des-
perately wounded The animal had
been standing broadside on, his face to-
ward my left. The ball had struck
the left elbow, splintering the olecra-
non; passed through the brisket, bro
ken the right humerus, turned at right
angles and gone back, cutting several
ribs; broken the right femur, then
turned again at right angles and come
out through the inside of the leg and
struck the left hook joint, which it dis
located and twisted off so that 1t hung
by very narrow string of hide.
never again expect to see so extraordi-
nary course for rifle ball.-Outlng

The Man and the Woman.

A man will run as fast as he can to
cross a railroad track in front of train.
Then he will watch it till it goes out of
sight. Then he will walk leisurely
away. He seems to be all right, and
probably is. That is a man.
A waman in street car will open q
satchel and take out purse, take out a
dime close the purse, open the satchel,
put in the purse, close the satchel, and
lock both ends. Then she will give the
dime to the conductor, who will give
her a nicke back.
Then she will open the satchel and
take out the purse, put in the nickel,
close the purse, open the satchel, and
put in the purse, close the satchel and
lock both ends. Then she will feel for
the buckle at the back of her belt.-Ex-

UP THE POWERS
Asking Them to State Their Intentions
: Regarding Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March To-
Another important chapter in the Wen
ezuela controversy developed tonight.
1mpelled by the persistent reports that
there might be a disposition on the
part Of the allied powers to settle di-
rectly with President Castro theaques-
ton of the payments of the claims of
their. citizens against Venezuela,
coupled2with the exasperating delay in
settling the additional protocols with
him, Herbert W. Bowen, Wenezuela's
plenipotentiary, has made an effort to
obtain positive Information from the
allies as to their attentions. He ad-
dressed to Sir Michael Herbert, the
British arnbassadory at Washington, a
note urging it as desirable that some
declarations shoald be made by the
allies. s3s g$$<Sls{f =; II
AS there does n9tseem to be any dis
position on the pat of the allies to
proceed with any sdispatch with the
preparation of The Hague protocols,
Mr.. Bowen does mot think that Ven
eZuela should be sbound to pay the 80
per cent provided for in the protocol of
Feb. 10 if The Hague protocol is not
signed before April 4. and took this po-
sition in the note to Sir Michael Her
bert. s4J
Mr.. Bowen feels There should be a
definite understanding respecting the
intentions of the allies as to The
Hague protocol before the 1st of April,
when the initial installment of Gus
toms receipts of the two ports are to
be set aside as provided for
> The note of Mr.. Bowen, it is believed
here, will bring the whole question to
an issue promptly and terminate the
indecision which now apparently OBJ
tains as to just what the intentions Of
the various allied governments are.

The air ordinarily absorbs a great deal

making safe landing prevented the
launching of the machine for unre-
strained flight. The air is so disturbed

ture discussion. This action was COM
PEELED, as number of the upper house
members neglected to return to the
afternoon session.
"A few senators were scattered about
the chamber at 2:S0 o'clock, and an adj
journment was suggested, but Presi-
dent Jones insisted that the bills on
general orders should be passed upon,
and at his suggestion call of the SEN
ate was moved. The sergeant at-arms
brought in a number of the senators
who had been listening to the argu-
ments of the house members on the
board of control bill, and the work on
general orders was resumed.
Only one measure was killed during
the debate. Senator SWedback's bill
providing for the election of village
attorneys in villages having a popula-
latfon of not less than 1000 inhabitants,
called forth objections from Senator
Morgan and other country members.
They argued that the majority of vii
lagos do not need attorneys and the
passage of the bill meant unnecessary
expense. Senator Morgan's motion in
definitely to postpone the measure was
adopted.

MISSISSIPPI AT FULL
HEIGHT AT MEMPHIS
Early Fall Is Expected, but Meanwhile
Things Are Uncomfortable.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 19.-It is
believed tonight that the crest of the
Mississippi river flood has reached
Memphis, and that a fall will begin
soon. The gauge tonight shows 40 feet
and stationary, rise of two-tenths in
tWenty-four hours. While the creyasse
at Trests Landing, Ark, has not wild
ened to any appreciable degree, the
leVee is overtopped a short distance
further to the north, and the MISSISSIPPI
pt is discharging much water both at
this point and the crevasse. A dis
tance of between four and five feet ex-
ISIS between the height of the water on
either side of the levee at the creyasse.
The St Francis levee board TODAY
made a strong effort to send the tug
Diana and a barge through the crew
asse to rescue people and live stock
from the flooded area in Arkansas, but
the idea was abandoned, as the rush of
water was so swift that it was not
thought the tug could go through
safely.
The Frisco ran a relief train to
Marion from the West today, but the
persons declined to leave their homes.
as they take the view they are in no
danger at present. All passengers in
the water-bound trains across the river
were brought here today.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
The United States weather department
is being studied as a model for the

some of its innovations are soon to be

Cashmere. Gilbert Walker, who has
