Brooklyn Jan. 5-There are good
grounds for believing that an arrest
will be made within a few hours in the
Tom Reed murder case. The blood
hounds from Knoxville arrived last
night and We're put on the tracks of
the murderer. They followed the trail
until 1880 when they refused to go
further. The officers would not allow
any one to accompany the dogs and
just where the trail ended has not
been made public. Thomas Reed, Jr.,
the son of the murdered man, is
quoted as stating this morning that
the dog accomplished all that was an
'ticipated and that an arrest was likely
to follow. The dogs, it is claimed, fol-
lowed the trail to a hill some six miles
from town, but whether they led the
way to anything tangible is not known.
There is much suppressed excitement
here and developments are eagerly
awaited. The coroner's verdict this
morning was that the deceased came
to his death by gunshot wound in
flicted by unknown parties. 1t is sale.
the murderers secured in the neigh.
borhood of $500 in cash.

A CURIOUS TREE,
One of Nature. Queer Products Thst
Are Found In Africa.

One of Natures Queer Products That
Are Found In Africa.
The Welwitschia nlrabilis is won
der of the vegetable kingdom. 1t
grows on the barren land Of the west
ern side Of Africa, where rain is al-
most unknown and the only moisture
Is that from dews which fall ut night.
This plant was discovered in 1860 by
DIR. Welwitsch, an eminent scientific
traveller. The welwitschia Is q tree
which lives for many years. many
specimens being estimated as more
than 100 years old.
Every year Of its life increases its
size, yet it never grows higher. Ris-
ing just above the ground this strange
plant, looking like rough round table,
regularly enlarges by adding concen-
trio layers to it's circumference. The
flat upper surface Of the trunk Is very
hard and dark. resembling in color and
texture the crust of an overbaked loaf
The trunk attains the size Of from
fourteen to eighteen feet in circum-
ference, but is never more than few
inches above the ground.
The welwitschia is remarkable In
the fact that it never loses its hrst
two leaves and never gets any more.
These leaves increase in size year aft
er year until they attain the length OF
six or eight feet or more. They are
fat and leatllery and frequently split
into numerous straps.

I have often been horrified by find
ing people at Carlsbad or Marienbad
or some other of these severe water
cures who had come there simply ON
their own initiative and without any
medical advice. This is really tam
pering with ones constitution
I l.; am coming to the conclusion In
recent years that 1t is better to trust
to air and to exercise than to waters
for the renewal Of the physical sys-
tenn. Since have taken to golf find
SO much improvement in my health

for the water cure. But there again
every man must judge for himself. II
a man has too profound love for tho
pleasures of the table it is almost a
necessity for him to go to one of those
places where the system seems to get
a thoroughly complete washout
But IL a man be Of moderate appe-
tite and be able to keep himself well
under control even when temptation
is great, then he has no reason for
going to Homburg or Carlsbad or
Marienbad He had better seek good
mountain air, play golf and keep out
of doors.-London M. A. P.

The tail, or, more strictly speaking,
the caudal fin, Of a fish is, says Pro-
lessor seeley, 1.-THE great organ Of mo-
tion," and among the mammalia we
find several useful tails.
The most remarkable Is, perhaps,
that common to most American mon
keys, which is as good as fifth hand,
owing to it's prehensile powers. The
yellow tailed bowler, il it is shot
when hanging by the tail, will remain
suspended for some hours, 80 tight is
the grip. Humboldt noted in South
America how spider monkeys form
themselves into clusters by means OF
their limbs and tails, the whole group
being suspended from bough by the
tail Of the strongest.
The long, thick tail Of the kangaroo,
which serves as balance against the
heavy hind quarters, especially when
the animal leans forward to browse,
and also aids in supporting it when in
it's characteristic upright position, Is
also q most valuable appendage.

received on the trip was one sand

eight hours on the road. He was con :

Grundy Center, Jan. 5. = AT call
ed meeting of the citizens last even
ing a proposition was submitted by j.
M. Brent, representing the Industrial
Construction Company. of Chicago, to
establish a canning factory at this
place. 1t is proposed to organize
stock company and build a $4,000
plant with a million can capacity. This
would be installed and ready for oper-
alton by the time the crop of corn and
tomatoes could be raised this summer,
and would make an added industry for
both the farmers and town. Judging
from the interest taken 1T would APP
pear to be a so. Messrs. H. s. Beck
man and HI. M. Bigelow were named
as a committee to investigate the mat
ter more carefully and when their re-
port is made it will be definitely deter
mined how best to proceed. The quail
ity of the corn and tomatoes raised
in this locality are declared to be very
fine.
A company has been organized con-
sisting of Charles Smith, Charles and
Amos Burd and G. w. Morrison to
manufacture the Smith manure
spreader, on which Mr.. Charles Smith
recently secured patent. 1t is pro-
posed to build their building in con-
nection with the Burd & Smith black
smith and repair shop and manufac-
ture most of them here. This will give
employment to number of additional
men and with the proposed canning
factory and the plant for the manu-
facture of cement blocks which is al
ready in operation will give employ
ment to many additional men, and
bring a good deal of outside money
into our town.

Finds for Stockholders in Case OF the
United States Telephone Company.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Jan. 81. I. Sullivan,
Boies & Boies and w. N. Birdsall, re-
ceived notice from the clerk of the
federal court in Dubuque yesterday
that Judge Reed had ruled adversely
to the bondholders of the United
States Telephone Company, and favor
ably to their clients, who are owners
of preferred stock in the former Cedar
Valley Telephone Company, and the
County Telephone and Telegraph
Company in the foreclosure proceed
ing brought by the Federal Trust &
Savings bank in Chicago against the
United States Telephone Company
Judge Reed refused to strike out a
petition of intervention as prayed.
The effect of the decision is momen-
tous to the preferred stockholders
as It makes theirs prior lien to the
holders of $15O,O0O of the bonds of the
United States Company, $124,0o0 OF
which are represented by two gentle
men in Waterloo. The owners of pre-
ferred stock in the old company reside
in Black Hawk and adjoining counties
and the ruling bN Judge Reed gives
them a distinct advantage over the
bondholders, being prior claim.
While this point is an important one
there will probably be considered ad-
ditional litigation before the legal en-
tanglements of the United States Com
pany are Strengthened out.

thought was one of the members go
