LIVELY TIMES IN THE WOODS
Rough Experience of Minnesota
 LumSern1an.

A special from Hibbing says: After two-hours' fight with a lynx and a wildcat in which his only weapon of defense was a woodsman's ax. James Finnigan, a cruiser in the woods. drop ped exhausted to the ground and would have been frozen to death in the snow but for the timely rescue by a comrade.
 Einnigan killed the wild cat and the lynx by swinging blows with the ax Teeth and claw wounds from the ani- mals and bruises and lacerations re- ceived from striking the timber while fighting, cover the upper part of his body. He lies in critical condition in a lumberman's shack in the woods west of Kelsey. but it is said he may recover.
 Finnigan came upon the animals un- expectedly when making a long tramp through the woods early today. The two beasts were fighting over a deer carcass. Almost before he could re- trace a step, the wildcat had leaped through the air straight for his shoul- ders.
 Finnigan lodged, and in making the movement swung the ax partway over his head. The sharp blade caught the wildcat in the flank and hamstrung it. The animal fell to the ground in a heap, but the lynx had leaped and fastened its teesh in the mans shoul- ders. In the struggle the man and lynx rolled over and over in the snow. When he had freed himself from the hold of the animal, his right shoulder was bleeding profusely.
 Finnisan bee anne unconscious after relating this much of the tale and he manner in which he kept up the fight the remainder of the time is nor known. Jake Slade, a well known Hibbinz woodsman. was coming over the trail through the woods and arrived in time to lift Finnigan in >,h:s eX- hausted state from the bed in the snow. He carried the injured man a mile 10 the shanty.

REVIVAL OF BALTIMORE
Confidence in the Future Is Being
 Rapidly Restored.

Baltimore. Mir, Feb. 10.-The open ing today of the board room by the chamber of commerce and the receipt of quotations. the uninterrupted shipments or grain cargoes, the cer- tainty of state legislation and the noti- 1ication by some of the large insurance companies of their readiness to pay 90 per cent on the losses, and the action of the legislature in asking for federal troops, constitute a chain of events which have contributed to the reStOra- ton of public confidence and cheer fitness.
 Mayor McLane has reconsidered his previous determination to announce that he would accept outside aid. On this subject he said
 The situation here does not justify such aid. There is no Restitution as yet. I can not tell what may follow. We have a board of charities which looks after the city's destitute. This board is in close touch With all or ganized charities. An appropriation is made annually for the purpose of tax ing care of destitution. There are some funds on hand now and it may Ee that the state appropriation may be sufficient to take care of those who require relief. Of course it may be necessary to ask for outside financial aid. Tn the course of the next few days I will be in better position ID decide upon this matter. We have re ceiVed by contribution from various cities about $7,OOO and additional of fers of thousands of dollars hay" been made. The money already re- ceived win be put aside until We can determine whether or not to ask for outside assistance"

It cures obstinate, deep seated coughs, bronchitis and bleeding of the lungs. It cures when nothing else will cure, and the local physician says oThere is nothing more that we can do"
 There is no alcohol in rGolden Med ical Discovery, and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other mar cotics.
 The dealer, tempted by the little more profit paid by less neritorious medicines, will sometimes try and sell a substitute when the Discovery" is asked for No substitute medicine will satisfy the sick like oGolden Medical Discovery" It always helps. It almost always cures.

 | am made of tin and brass. And I truly measure gas; But the public is an ass"- And so ii comes to pass
 They doubt mo. When a bill exceeds the last They swear that I am fast: With liars I am classed AS the brassiest of the brass.
 They flout me When the daughter sits up late To entertain her future mate; When Bridget. John and Kata Their betters initiate,
 And light up very brightly When company they invite On long and dreary night The house a blaze Of light My wheels roll with delight,
 My cubic feet run lightly But when the bill comes in They view it with chagrin And it's figures to deny begin: Stiu protesting, pass the money in,
 With many words profane. Their folly surpassinE belief. I'm called 9 mysterious thief, And of all other swindlers the chief, Their abuse is painful; in brief,
 All arguments in vain Why should they doubt me so? And venom on me throw I'm neither fast nor slow As the gas flows, so I go,
 My diaphragms expanding. My figures plain are ope' to view; My hands revolve in circles true; Bellows and wheels, though hid from you, Have each their special work to do.
 A gocd name demanding. Lowly my lot is cast Tn the cellar my life is passed. True 1 measure to the last, The stream of Illuminating gas
 That through me flows. And when my days are past, And my wheels arc stopped at last. And in the sCrap-heap cast, If I've measured slow or fast
 My record shows.
