A Record. Breaking Barn.Yard Monster.
which Will Be At the Fair.
CARTER & STERNS.

Harry Pinkham, a Nevada, Iowa,
horseman, owns a Toulouse goose
which is a monstrosity, and which
has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton on account of its great size.
The goose weighs IA pounds,
standing over two feet high and
laws an egg as large around as an
ordinary carafe. The fowl has been
exhibited by Mr.. Pinkham at sew
eral of the live stock shows, and
has always attracted attention. 1t
is the intention of Mr.. Pinkham
to take the goose to the St. Louis
Exposition and have it exhibited
with the great poultry exhibit to
be arranged during the summer.
The weight of the goose was so
great that the web feet became
crippled, and in order that the fowl
might easily walk over the frozen
ground this winter Mr.. Pinkham
had made for it a pair of rubber
shoes which fit exactly upon the
two web feet, and with this artifi-
cial aid the goose gets about on
the ice and the hard ground quite
well. With one of the eggs which
the goose recently laid Nevada

The declaration was made at st. Ell

Jaures said:
Elapsed years, past events and ex-

which has been directed. above all, first.
against Germany. has lost the reasons for

AMERICA TO INTERCEDE
FOR DETAINED JAPANESE.
Mr.. TakalIira. the japanese Minister.
called upon Secretary Hay today. and it
is understood that the reported detention
of about 100 Japanese subjects in Port
Arthur was under discussion. There seems
to be lack of positive information on this
subject. and until the facts are known
the State Department is inclined to go
slow in making representations to Rus
sa.
1t is bound to do so, however. If Japan
formally requests it, as the department
has undertaken to represent Japan so far

Russia are concerned.
Taking notice of the reported escape
from Port Arthur of the American cargo
ship Pleiades under cover of a storm, the
department officials are inclined to believe
that she may have brought away some of

those. and they freely exercise discretion
