educational institution as Northwest

Illinois to be offered the presidency of
the state university Of Illinois, which
he declined some ten years ago. In a
certain way, one may say the state is
educationally become Of age, and Is

Cradle That Cost a Fortune.

An interesting gift just presented to
the Musee Carnavalet is the cradle Of
the prince imperial. The cradle was
the gift Of the city of Paris to EN-
press Eugene in 1850. Designed by
Ballard, 1t is of rosewood, and takes the
shape of ship. At the PROV figures the
imperial eagle, and at the stern rises an
allegorical statuette in silver represent
ing the city of Paris, and holding aloft
a crown from which the curtains hang.
No fewer than three artists collabor-
ated in the construction of the cradle,
which cost the city Of Paris 160, 100
francs.

through Midtown, because the miners
would hang us, If necessary. / took a
force of IS Italians to clear away
the distractions that I knew would
be piled on the tracks. When I set
the gang to work one of the citi-
zens of Midtown, big miner, who de-
clared he was justice of the peace,
arrested the foreman of the gang on a
charge of obstructing the highway.
"Then the crowd set up yell for
Bob McKenna. McKenna, I was told,
had been q member Of the Molly Nc
CURES, and when the superintendent Of
the car company heard the yell for Nc
Kenna, he, knowing the man, told me
to get back to Scranton as fast as l
could. l told him that we would run
the car to the end of the line.
'The crowd by this time was yelling:
Lynch Farley!'
when we got a short distance out
Of Midtown saw the mob crossing a
bridge, evidently to head me of. I
jumped into a bunch of laurel bushes
alongside the track, to hide my foot
prints in the snow, and started up the
mountain. When got to the top I
saw two mobs converging toward me,
each one coming up opposite sides OF
the hill. Each mob began to shoot,
but their bullets didn't reach me.
II kept going ahead until found
the hill ended in bluff that went
straight down to the. river. For a
minute or two thought it was all
I'D with Farley. Finally I saw little
railroad along the side of the bluff used
for taking coal out of a mine. I made
q Jump of ten feet and reached the
road in time to board passing train
of coal cars. On this I rode mile
until saw a trolley car, which Lfound
was in charge of some of my men.
81 told the motorman to get out OF
the place as fast as he could. But Nc
Kenna, knowing where I. would leave
the coal train, had taken a peddler's
team and with three Of his gang had
driven by short cut to head me of.
Just a. we were starting the car, he
drove up at a gallop. With pistol in
each hand he told me to surrender.
Some Of my guards leveled their shot
guns at him and he lacked the nerve
to shoot, but, driving his wagon ahead,
he pulled around sQuarely across the
track. Still pointing his guns at me,
he told us to surrender.
1.-THE motorman was Quick-witted. He
swung the controller all the way
around, giving the car every ounce OF
power in the wire, and then jumped
back into the car to get out of the way
of the smash-up. The car hit the
wagon, throwing it high into the air
and tossing McKenna and his men
over q fence"

A Violin Town.

A huge timber wolf menaced the
lives of scores of people in the train
shed Of the Union station, ,Minneapo"
lis, and was finally killed with coup
ling pin after hand-to-hand struggle.
The animal ran swiftly in the wake
Of passenger train and was not no
ticed until it had entered the shed.
There was crowd clustered around
tho coaches, when suddenly tho wolf
appeared it its midst.
A panic was created in an instant.
Women screamed, children yelled and
tho men were too astounded to act.
Everyone rushed towards tho gates,
while the wolf, its wicked mouth wide
open and its long tongue hanging out,
scampered up and down the foreclosure,
in and out among the scurrying pas
sengers.
Then from the end of the shed a
small colored man, William Hines, 21e
Nicolett avenue, threw a rock which
grazed the animals head. A few Sc
conds later Hines saw two coupling
pins lying close to the track just out
side of the canopy and, picking one up
he hurled it at the animal.
The missile caught the animal in the
side and with yelp of ipain and rage
it charged its assailent.
Hines hurriedly seized the other pin
and as the wolf jumped at him, hit it
glancing blow on the head. The animal
managed to seize Hines by the left
hand, but was soon beaten to death
with the weapon of iron, not, however
until the gloves which the negro had
worn were tore to shreds and his hands
and face badly lacerated.
The man had dog with him but he
refused to attack the wolf

ferred to by thousands of students
who have gone out from twas de-
stroyed by fire early the oath.
It will be complete loss.
The interior was consumed, includ-
ing the score or more of classrooms
and its fine and costly department Of
libraries. There remain only portions
of the gray stone skeleton, which loom
in ugly outline against the sky and tot
ter in insecurity, which means that
they will have to be torn down.
The building was the Oldest on the
campus, having been erected, in part.
in 1857. For many years it was the
whole university, and the traditions
which center there are dear to the heart
of every alumnus and alumna of the
institution. In recent years it was the
home of the departments of mathema-
tic, rhetoric, pedagogy, French, Greek,
Latin and German. The Minnesota
Daily, the university newspap per, and
the Gopher, the annual, had their Off
ces IN the building, which also were
ladies' reception room and restau-

home of Captain Guile, custodian of the
buildings.

building except the desk Of the post

officers in the employ of the Santa
Fe railroad arrested four striking ma
chinists last night while they were
having trouble with one of the strike
breakers who has been employed in
the local shops. The fight occurred
in a saloon.
The strike leader is J. B. Harrity,
who is the shop foreman here. The
four men under arrest are Arthur E.
Ireland, vice president of the Machin-
lists association; Martin Crawford, H.
J. Adams and j. r. johnson. One
of the men in the crowd, said to be
Irelands private secretary, made his
escape. Hartley is bruised, but not
dangerously hurt. The men who were
arrested were kept under guard, the
local authorities having refused the
other officers the use of the city Jail.
This is the first trouble of the kind
here since the strike began.

as well-they at least would not have
made a bluff that they were playing
ball.
After making two in the sixth, the
visitors let loose in the seventh and
added five more. For good measure
they tackled on another in the eighth,
and threw two chunks of mint into the
tulep as the curtain went down.
In the seventh and the eighth the
home talent walked up long enough to
turn over and yell for more cover.
They managed to score in three runs,
but went to sleep again with the moan
ing of the Fort Scott bats.
