BARN BURNED.
J. NJ. Rambo Loses His All.

Last Thursday night the barn on the farm
of Abel Clement, formerly the Beetle farm,
near Clements Bridge, tenated by Jesse M.
Rambo, was burned to the ground. The
contents Of the barn, comprised Of four
horses, farm implements, etc., amounting
in value to $1,000, were all destroyed. The
loss to Mr.. Rambo, who is hard working
man, is especially severe as it represents
years Of labor and self denial. Friends are
circulating petitions to aid him in restoring
a portion Of his loss; one Of these is in the
hands of Dr. Kirby, of Woodbury..
The fire was no doubt the work Of an in
cendiary.

their wares. Needle bead work is Of
fered in abundance. At the latter place
possibly fifty MoiaYe women and child
rem appeared. and did quite thriving busi
ness. Some Of these women were resplend-
-ent in long flowing capes made of bandana
handkerchiefs sewed together. Possibly
only the favored few could afford such a
garment as they seemed to wear them with
the air of being especially well dressed.
We cannot say very much for the differ
ent tribes we met. The greater portion of
them are seemingly as wild, untidy and un-
kept as our most vivid Imagination ever
pictured them.
The Mexican is frequently seen in as rag
ged and fantastic,a garb as the Indian, and
to see a big, brawny Mexican so clothed and
astride a bnrro is a most ludicious sight.
But the Mexican uses the burro only when
he cannot get a horse. Give him the latter
animal and he rides it like an expert.
Probably we ought to ask pardon of our
readers for dwelling SO long upon the desert
and surroundings but it has fascination
for us. Its vastness, its mountains, its
primitive people, its changing moods, the
problem of its subiugation by man, are sub
jects which grow upon one who has crossed
its broad expense, and have led us to give
you this brief and disconnected account be-
fore resuming our trip.

The peOple,g Rural Telepaone company.
E. E. RuLoN.

The Peoples Rural Telephone Company.
Last week the above-named corporation
of our county entered into traffic arrange
ment with The Eastern Telephone and
Telegraph Company by which the long
distance business of their subscribers will
be transmitted without interruption and
without abridging or endangering the auto
nomy of the company. This feature of the
Rural Company has been a serious one, be-
cause fraught with much danger to stock
holders, yet some sort of an arrangement
was necessary to make the rural system
complete. The propositions submitted by
the Bell people had too many spider and
ay'' earmarks to suit the Rural Company IS
directors, and it was unhesitatingly turned
down, while the Eastern's proposition was
fair and just to both parties.
This arrangement insures the success and
permanency Of the Rural System for the
county by enabling its subscribers to enjoy
all the privileges of the long distance and
the really more valuable home service at a
moderate cost. The Rural Company Is
installing phones at s12 per year, and prac-
tically all farmers are becoming subscribers,
hence within a brief time not only the
towns of the county but the farmers, too,
will be connected by wire and enjoying one
of the greatest of modern utilities.
We congratulate the Peoples Rural Tele-
phone Company on the success of their
undertaking.

nearly three hundred applications for con-

TRIED SUICIDE.

John Leichtle, of Gro Keys, one of tn
inmates of Woodbury. Jail, attempted to
commits suicide about one O'Clock by slash
ing his throat and left wrist with a razoI-
yesterday Lechtle was committed to Jail
by Justice Pauiin, of Glassboro, on com
plant of his wife, who alleged abuse. He
has been in jail about two weeks, and this
is said to be his first experience. There is
an old offender in the lookup who told
Leichtle that for the offence Of abuse Of his
wife he would be sentenced to State Prison
for at least ten years, and This 50 preyed en-
his mind that he detsrmed op suicide, pre-
ferring death to SO long term Of confne-
ment.
HOW sFE DID IT.
Jailor Platt keeps razor for the use Of
his boarders and when Leichtle asked for it
to shave himself it was passed to him,
without any suspicion that he desired to
use it to take his life. He prepared to
shave, and then asked to go to the closet.
Once out of sight he slashed his throat and
left wrist
The wound on the throat extends from
about the centre line half way to the ear.
It is not deep, and no arteries were severed ;
one artery Of the wrist and some tendons
were severed. Jail physician CLARK was
summoned, and responded promptly LEIGH
ties wounds were dressed and he was made
as comfortable as possible. 1t is not be-
! lie7ed his wounds are serious.

Chicago, Jan. 29.Diana, most ath-

of Grecian goddesses, live again in the
American women Of to-day, In the
opinion Of Professor Robert Baird,
who holds the chair of Greek Ian
guages and literature in Northwest
ishes a lofty conception Of the Amer
lean woman. He gives her first place
in intellectual vigorf and physical
beauty. Said he: -,
In talking over Greek mythology with
my students, happened to comment on
the lack of a reproduction in Greek lie
Of the high ideas Of physical DEVELOPMENT
in womanhood which we find in their
myths, This led me to point out the fact
that in the United States alone are women
of a type which can be compared with
the old Greek goddesses In the glory of
feminine beauty. ss:s-s:s.
The women Of America are the most
grandly developed Of any IT the world.
| And they should be-. Our girls, our young
women must be strong. revere the ath-
|letic girl-if her temperament is evenly
balanced in other directions. Exercise can
| be overdone, altho ! am not one of those
who are beginning to cry that our girls
are OVERRIDING It,. In itsspursutt the intel
llect must not be neglected.
! But it is not, in my opinion. The Amer
lean woman is better developed mentally
than her sisters. She has broader out
look on life and keener intellectual Wis
| ion.
I These two facts--the supremacy of our
women in physical and intellectual devel-
opment-are dueF to the liberty which is
given them. American women are the
| freest in the world. Their. husbands and
brothers have given them liberty, and they
are not abusing II. but using it wisely.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Seattle, Wash, Jan. ga devil fish
with tentacles twelve feet long, and
next to the body as large around as a
man, stopped a big mining plant on
Treadwell Island, Alaska, the other
day. The octopus in chasing a school
of herring was drawn into the water
intake pipe, which extends several
hundred feet into the bay.
For some time the cause of the
trouble could not be ascertained. The
devil fish began to churn UP the water
all about him, and the entire force of
men undertook the task of removing
him from the mouth of the pipe.
Ropes, crowbars and big chisels were
used, but 1t was several hours before
the plant could be started again.
While the work of removing the
long-tentacled fish was in progress the
Indians gathered on the shore and
watched with deep interest, but with
out offering assistance. AS soon as
they were sure the devil fish was dead
they had a great feast, as the meat is
considered a delicacy by them.

BIG lCEBERGS ON
LAKE MICHIGAN
Whole Lake Is Frozen Over and
Ice Is Piled High near
Shore.

Chicago, Jan. 29.--Lake navigation
this winter has fitted the crews OF
steamers in service for a dash for the
pole,' as it combines all the expert
ences of Arctic navigation. Lake
Michigan has at last frozen over, the
cold spell of the last few days filling
up the widely scattered spots Of open
water between the ice foes. In most
winters there is a wide stretch of open
water in mid-lake, but not so this
year.
At many points along the west
shore the ice is piled up solid until 1T
reaches from the bottom, forty feet
deep, to an equal distance above the
water line. At the cribs the Ice is
piled up until it is higher than the
structures.
The icebergs are of great size and
how they came to be formed Is q nys-
terry, as the thickest chunks of Ice
navigators have seen are not over
eighteen or twenty inches thru.
The average temperature for De-
cember was 5 degrees below normal.
and thus far in january Is has been

celled but once and that was during
