CARTS After Salt Lake.

IF the proposal Of Messrs. CARR &
Son of Logan meets with the same
favor from the City Council that it
has from Mayor Norris" says We'd
nesday's S. l.. Tribune, it is safe to
predict that the citizens of Salt Lake
will be furnished with better light
service and that the city will yet own
its own light sytem, The proposition
made by the Logan firm to the Mayor
was submitted by him to the Coun Ill
last night, accompanied by COM

convince his subscribers that he has
been outside of Sewer at least once in
his life, the editor of the Salina Sun
uses an expression that leads one to
believe that he has visited the land of
the badger and has participated in
that sport of all sports, badger fight
To have found one who has watched
the struggle between great INTEL
lectuality and the badger is like meet
ing brother. All, old boy, what can
equal the excitement of the throng as
the honored one with a mighty pull
yanks his victim from his lair. What
expectancy as he heaves and struggles,
what shouts of applause as the victory
Is won! 'Twere worth a kings ram
som to have witnessed at least one
badger fight.
The REPUBLICAN man recalls a
night at the French Lick Hotel in
Southern Indiana and story that Is
famous there. French Lick and
West Baden springs are great inland
resorts, four million dollar hotels there
entertaining each year the biggest
guns" of this country and many foreign
nOtables. On this night, an enthusiast
tic expert arranged badger fight in
honor of Hon. Thos. f. Mason, dem
ocratic senator from Illinois. Hon.
Thomas Taggart, one of the principal
owners of the French Lick hotel, and
Geo. p. Rowell, superintendent of the
"Monon" railroad made big affair of
1t and advertised it thoroughly. The
opera house attached to the hotel was
crowded with notables, all of the
Sterner sex OF course, and Hon. Thos
Mason as the honorcd guest with sutii-
cient courage and ''intellectuality"
to drag the badger from his den and
act as referee in the fight. was the
cynosure Of all eyes. Bets and excit-
ment ran high, as the badger was
known to be a particularly fierce one
and OF prodigious size. Kid Mccoy
was there that night and was selected
as time.keeper and official scorer.
When time was called, the Hon. Tom
grasped the chain attached to the
badger and though OF consid.
cradle ponderosity about the girth
and shoulders, failed to bring the
animal from the barrel. Tom was
cheered and jeered and finally removed
his coat. A valiant tug, and the ami
nal came Toms way. Badger stock
went down only TO 20 up again as
Toms wind began to give out. With
desperation born of despair, Mason
rolled up sleeve and with an ex-
clamationithat sounded like I'd - it,
come out OF that" gave a pull that
landed the puller on his back and the
badger on top of him. That crowd
yelled as il never yelled before and
face was study for a painter.
The joke cost him no less than humid
red plunks in cigars and suppers. For
the benefit of those who have never |
seen badger fight and NAV never
have the opportunity, it may be stat
ed that the badger" is nothing more
nor less than that most popular
American vessel which in many homes
occupies a position just under the
corner of the bed. The one
Tom pulled was of the tive-gallon kind
filed with beer and pretzels.

WOMAN KILLS TON MOOSE.
After Husband Had Quit Chase Wife
Sights Big Animal and Brings
Him Down.

Reading, Pa, friends are In receipt
of letter from Mrs. Martin Poindex-
ter, who, with her husband, is on
hunting trip through Canada, announ-
cling that she had killed the largest
moose ever shot In New Brunswick.
Mrs. Poindexter is a plucky little
woman and true shot. The killing
of the moose Is best told in her letter
which says:
I'VE started on a moose hunt, and
after we went two miles MIR. Poindex-
ter was compelled to turn back. I
continued with the guide, and soon we
heard the moose coming. We crossed
a swamp UP to our knees, and lay down
behind big tree. The moose soon
started for me, didn't get the least
bit excited, but instead leveled my
gun and fired, the first shot taking
effect in the neck. gave him two
more pops to finish him. It took the
combined efforts OF five men to drag
him back to camp. In honor OF my
luck the crowd asked me to name the
camp and named 1t Big Mooss!'"
The moose will be shipped to Read.
ing this week. It weighs almost 1000
pounds, has red horns, which are very
rare, and they measure 82h inches
from tip to tip. Mrs. Poindexter de-
clares that she will not return home
until she has succeeded In shooting
her first bear.

GREYHOUND WORTH $4,000
Princess Maud, Who Has Run Mile
in Less Than Two Minutes, Il
Fastest In the World.

A $4,000 dog Such is Princess Maud.
the fieetest dog In the world, owned by
Capt. Jay Thomas vickery, who has a
ranch In Oklahoma, where he keeps q
string OF dogs well able to run q mile
inside OF two minutes. Princess Maud
bears the proud distinction of having
run a mile in one minute and forty-nine
seconds, which is the worlds record.
Capt. Vickery is greyhound fancier
and expert. He owns the finest grey
hounds in this country. On a large ranch
In Oklahoma he trains his runners in
contests with the swiftest jack rab-
bit Of the plains.
Princess Maud is a modest canine,
sticking close to the heels of her mas
ter as he walks through the streets.
Except for the fact that she is trim
and sleek looking she does not give the
slightest idea Of her value, which Is
placed by Capt. Vickery at $4,000 She
is OF dark fawn color, with thin body
and attenuated legs, and when stand
ing assumes the slightly tilted forward
position indicative of the runner.
Capt. Vickery is now in Washington,
and as he walks from place to place
with Princess Maud in his wake the dog
attracts great deal Of attention. She
has captivated the hearts of all dog
lovers, and many of her admirers have
expressed a desire that they might see
her run.

CLOCK TO RUN 1000 YEARS
British Inventor Constructs Uniaue
Timepiece with Radium as
It's Native Power.

Richard Strut, son of Lord Rayleigh.
Of England, has made radium clock.
which will go for 1000 years without
winding.
In this clock small piece OF gold leaf
is electrified by means of very small
quantity of radium salt. 1t bends away
from the metal substance and keeps on
moving under this influence until II
touches the side Of the vessel. At the mo-
ment of contact It loses It's electrical
charge. upon which 1t springs back and
is electrified again. The repetition Of
this process over and over again is the
whole secret, and Sir William Ramsey
considers It might be expected to con-
tinue, barring accidents. for a couple OF
thousand years.
Asked II such an instrument could be
made reliable timekeeper-one by
which business man could keep his ap-
pointments-Sir William answered:
"Yes, SO far as the principle ID con-
cerned. Youhave the energy, and, unless
the thing stuck at some time or other, Il
would go on and on, and could be regu-
lated to move the hands Of clock face
to q mechanical nicely.
Sir William did not think such a clock
would be very expensive luxury. II
ought to be possible to make one for
about $1,000. he thought.

ONLY THREE PROPOSED.
Warrensburg, N. Y, Maidens Are
Slow In Taking Advantage
Of the Leap Year.

Statistics at the town clerks Office
of Warrensburg, N. Y, go to show that
the Warrensburg girls up to the present
time have not been taking advantage OF
the leap year with that avidity which
was expected Of them. Since the year
began there have been only three mar
riages in town following direct pro-
posals made by the brides. In each case
the young women popped the question
and led their blushing bridegrooms to
the altar within 80 days, so the War
rensburg News has been creditably In
formed by one Of the grooms who seemed
to be posted and made clean breast OF
the whole affair.
That there have not been, therefore.
more weddings In Warrensburg directly
due to leap year may be from the fact
that the girls had been waiting for Hal
lowe'en to help them cinch things. Now
that this has passed there are uncon.
firmed rumors that there will soon be
something doing"

T. M. Walker, sof Atchison, Kan,
has In the hall of his home a hand
somely mounted pair of antlers. They
belonged to the elk that killed Gen.
Bull and two companions in Alton rs
years ago. Gen. Bull kept the elk n
a pet In q park adjoining his Alton
home. The animal became enraged
and gored the three men to death.
Gen. Bull was state senator at the
time OF his death. He was o good
friend Of the poor persons who settled
in Osborne county during his resi-
dence there.
Early In the spring of 1879 Ander-
sons circus appeared in Osborne, and
passed through Alton. At that time
Gen. Bulls house was practically the
only one In town. He persuaded the
circus to stop In his town." however,
and furnished them with all the wood,
hay and beef they could use. He then
bought $50 worth of tickets at rs cents
a ticket and started out to tell the glad
tidings. There was no street parade,
but the circus gave show that is still
talked about by the old settlers. When
all Gen. Bulls tickets we're used. and
those who had money had bought
what they could, the remaining penni-
less ones were admitted free. The
whole county saw the circus. The
people of Osborne county still hold
Gen. Bull in loving remembrance, and
observe the anniversary of his death
every year. The twenty-fifth ami
versary was October l2. and memorial
services were held that day in Alton.

Toreador Emits Thirty-Two Within
Half an Hour in Unique Con-
test in France.

A Growing competition among roosters
given at the agricultural exhibition In
Paris recently by the Agricultural So
ciety was a great success. This sport,
once popular in the northern provinces
OF France, In Belgium and Flanders. had
been nearly forgotten until M. Van
Gelder, Of Anvers, made q tour of the
country and collected the cages used in
olden times for the interesting competi-
tion. M. Van Gelder is the owner of
Picador, a rooster valued at $1,000, and
considered until now invincible.
At the cours-la-reine, where the exhi-
bition took place, each rooster was
placed In q separate cage, which was in
closed In box provided with heavy cur
tains In front. A Judge sat at table
before each cage, ready to register the
number Of crows within stated time.
At given signal the curtains before
cage were drawn back, thus allowing tho
light to strike the bird. who imme ediately
gave vent to series OF crows, which were
carefully registered.
Picador was not in form and was de.
leated by .Toreador, whose growing ef-
forts numbered 80 within half an hour.
