 The news of Brutus' escape had quickly spread and pleasure seekers throughout the island had thought only of finding refuge. When Brutus reached Surf avenue, perhaps frightened himself by the fleeing crowds, he doubled on his tracks and darted up an alley. Here he was confronted by a picket fence be- tween two buildings. =s
 Reminded forcibly of his cage, Brutus immediately fell into the habit ac- quired by long years of eaptivity-that of pacing up and down behind iron bars. Thus occupied, he was found by his keepers, who had no difficulty in plac- ing him in a travelling cage. Meantime half a dozen trainers had entered the arena where Columbia was struggling with the two other lions and succeeded in separating them.

AN ILLINOIS UTOPIA.

On the Illinois side of the Mississippi River eighteen ssiles from St, Louis there stands ansobject lesson for the student Of municipal betternent. in- .dustrial advance. and sociology. It is the profit-sharing town of LaClaire. where for some years the theory of equality between employer and em- ployee, has been successfully demon- strated. There capital and labor share the profit of a vast manufacturing in dustry.
 The plan upon which the town of La Claire is built is based upon the belief that more progress Is made in solving the social problem by the manifested in terest of the employer in the affairs of his workmen than in the building of a church, the donation of a library, or the endowment of n hospital. Yet the model town in Southern Illinois has all of these and much to contribute to the comfort. welfare. education, and contentment Of it's inhabitants.
 Every thing that could be desired is found i'll La. Claire and it's people are 
 unsightly: covered with vines and sur rounded by flower beds, they are invit- ing in appearance and in keeping with the cool cottages of the workmen set far back from the streets, on green plots of ground.
 The avenues of the town are broad, l the parks we'll kept, and the people clean. According to all accounts the townspeople are happy. At all events there are no strikes and there are many who believe that in this little town a long stride has been made toward a
 great problem. This unique town is the outcome of an idea which N. O. Nelson, a wealthy Mis-
 sourian, has entertained and worked out
 according to his own theories of life and all that it should be. Years ago he
 adopted the profit-sharing system with
 his force of 200 men. Since then his | business has grown to enormous pro- portions. The town grew out of the profit-sharing scheme which begun in | 1886. Believing that better social conditions could be obtained in the country, sev-
 eral years later MT. Nelson purchased
 the site of LaClaire and has devoted
 his whole time since to it's development
 His family resides there because the
 members like it better than any other
 place. Recently, in speaking of the sue.
 cess that has attended his life work 1T this direction. Mir. Nelson said:

LIONS ATTACK ELEPHANT.

He Makes Things Lively in Coney Islands Streets Till He Thinks Picket Fence is Cage
 Hurled over the top of a steel barred arena by an elephant it had engaged in mortal combat, Brutus, a large lion, es- ilcaoed into crowd Of 5000 persons at Luna Park. Coney Island, yesterday panic in which men. women and chii- dren were knocked down and trampled upon. 2 s | Nearly all Coney Island was terror stricken. Several women tainted, and Joseph Guines, bartender, over whom the lion leaped in his flight, was I thrown into violent hysteria. No one
 was seriously injured.
 l The lion was caught after having been confronted by tall picket fence, before which he quickly paced back and forth,
 under the impression apparently that he was in his cage.
 Columbia, the elephant, is one that gored to death J. w. Goodrich, her for
 mer owner, at Weehawken, N. j., on September 8.
 l The arena in which the beasts l is located is on an island in the park I lagoon, near the electrical tower. Be sides the lions and elephants, there were dogs and goats in the inclosure. 1 Tony Lewando, the trainer, was making a trial of a new act. Without warning Brutus, having the first chance since captivity of meeting face to face This old enemy of the jungle leaped al #E Columbia's throat and buried his teeth
 and claws in her flesh. This was the Isignal for the other two lions, who
 bounced upon the elephants back.

 and motionless little realizing their owrl

 and dogs, tramped upon, set up a
 clamor. Lewando and John Cameron,

 reached up with her trunk and gained
 a hold on Brutus' leg. She gave 8

" HAWAIIAN FISHERMEN,
Hands and Teeth Play Part In
Capturing the Octopus.

The native fisherman of Hawaii,
while an adept with the hook and line,
does not scorn to use his hands to cap
ture his prey when occasion arises.
The bonito Is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used Is of mother Of pearl, made
from the shell of a mollusk now quite
rare, which glistens with an rides
renee similar to the simmer from the
scales of the smaller kinds of fish on
which the bonito lives, no bait is need
ed. The barb of these hooks is Of
bone, and two tufts of hogs bristles
attached at right angles to the barbed
end keep the inner side up, SO that the
hook lies fat on the surface Of the
sea. When likely fishing ground
has been reached, the fisherman, stand
ing up in the canoe, casts out his line
violently, so that the hook falls with
a slap on the water and attracts the
attention of the fish. The line and
hook are then drawn rapidly toward
the boat, as though it were spoon,
and the bOnito, taking the hook to be
a small fish, rises to it Immediately.
1t is fortunate for the fisherman that
he has to waste no time in batting his
hook, for this method of casting fright
ems the school, and the fish disappear
within ten or fifteen minutes.
An ingenious plan by which very
large fish are caught is by planting a
long pole on the shore in such posi-
ton as to cause it to lean decidedly to-
ward the water. On the top Of this
bell is arranged so that 1t can swing
clear of the top of the pole. A block
and fall are also attached to the pole
close to the top, and Il long line, with
baited hook at the end, is run through
the block and allowed to float out to
sea- the land end being tied in a slip
knot to the bottom of the pole. AS soon
as fish is hooked its struggles cause
the bell to ring, whereupon the fisher
man runs to the pole, lOOsens the Slip
knot and plays the fish until he has
drowned it. when it is hauled ashore.
In fishing for octopus the native dives
to the bottom and with a stick pokes
around In the small holes in which the
octopus lives. When he touches one,
it seizcs the stick and allows him to
draw it out of the hole When he
reaches the surface, the native grabs
it with his hands and bites into the
head, thus killing the animal.

that latter the purpose of the admins
tration's antitrust bill had been ex.

prompts the Omaha Bee, republican

have decided wisely if it be fact that
they propose not to attempt to prevent
legislation. Does any one really believe
that the trusts have capitulated? Is it
not more reasonable to believe that, as
stated by Walter Wellman the Washing

To Prevent Cattle Running at Large.
Wood Contract to be Enforced, Etc.

Attorney McKinlay appeared on be
half of the Bulletin, and argued tina,
that paper was entitled to the contract
for the city printing, under its bid, and
endeavored to have the matter Re consii-
cred. This was refused, but the subject
was referred to a special committee, con-
sisting of Morgan, johnson and Leitch,
to report at the next meeting.
The street committee reported against
repairing the road to the pumping sta
ton, as requested by w. r. Mcbride.
The fire committee reported in favor OF

ton was referred to the street committee.
The mater of purchasing a street
sweeping machine was referred to the
street committee.

landers, requesting the enforcement OF
the ordinance against cattle running at
large. Referred to tie committee on
health.

motion to adjourn put and carried, as
soon as the sheriff ceased liking.

A REAL TRUST FIGHTER.

The Globe-Democrat in recent issue
tells how President Diaz, of the Mexican
republic, thwarted the Standard Oil
Company. According to the Globe
Democrat the oil trust got control of
Mexican railroad and attempted to freeze
out rival by putting prohibitive rate
on oil from the competing we'll. The
matter was brought to the attention of
the president and he at once put the
legal machinery into motion and the
railroad soon had to choose between the
restoration OF the old rate and a forfeiture
of its charter. The result was that the
railroad reduced its rate for carrying oil
and the Standard Oil Company had to
meet the competitive price of oil.
Our president could do the same thing
in effect if he desired to do 60. If he
was really anxious to exterminate the
trusts he could do so in short order. He
could prepare bill making it unlawful
for any corporation TO use the mails, rail.
roads or telegraph lines for interstate
commerce until that corporation showed
that it's stock was not watered and that
it was not trying to moropolize any
branch OF business or the production of
any article of merchandise. His power
to appeal to the people and his ability to
focus public attention upon question
would enable him to secure the passage
of really mertorious law-but such
action would antagonize the money
power and bring fight in the next
lational convention.

A SPECTACULAR OFFICER.

The appearance of Sheriff Graham
before the city council Saturday night.
asking the assistance of the city authorl-
ties for the performance Of the statuary
duties of his office, was treated by the
council with the silent contempt it
deserved.
The statement of the sheriff that be
was incompetent to close up gambling
without assistance is too ridiculous for
serious consideration. Sheriff Graham,
when Marshal Of this city, closed up
every game in the city by simply notify
ing them to close, so that his appta al for
help now, with the power OF sheriff OF
the county, no DOUBT struck the council
as an ATTEMPT to avoid his duties and
saddle the blame upon the city authori-
ties.
Aberdeen is tie only city on the har-
Dor where open gambling is being re
stlictcd. In lIoquiam it is running "wide
OPEN" and Sheriff Graham knows it.
He knows al that hint FROM him.
that he meant to enforce the law, would
close up every game in the county. The
trouble with him seems TO be that he
ioolishly thinks others are not acquaint-
ed with hispover in the matter.
Whatever IN. tves caused the appear
ance of the sheriff in this attitude are
known best 20 himself. but, that it was
ridiculous is perfectly plain to every
body. That the sheriff should require
aid to do what was easily done by the
marshal is simply absurd.
