mics are:

Magani. the chief" is four feet
high and the tallest of the six. He is
splendidly developed pygmy, with
broad shoulders, deep chest and griz-
Fly gray whiskers. He walks with a
dignified swagger, gets most of the CT
CARS, and generally COMFORTS himself
like a forest king.
The pygmies have little more intelli-
gence than had Consul, the educated
Ape, and when at home in the Afri-
can forest they do nothing but hunt
with tiny spears, eat what they kill,
sleep off the effects and occasionally
chant a mournful dirge and dance a
solemn Jig.
In appearance they are less like
apes than diminutive negroes. The
beauty" Gorrigi, has an oval face,
rather Of the Nubian type.
Marry at Eight Years.
Living near the equator-Colonel
Harrison found them in the forest
southwest of Lake Albert, at the head
of the Nile-they reach maturity at an
earlier age even than Hindus. They
marry at eight, have grown up chill
dren at twenty, and are too old at
forty for anything but the grave. The
only language they speak is Swahili,
the tongue of the Uganda folk.
The little men looked as harmless
as boys as they laid about in the cabin
of the Thames launch, which brought
them from the Orestes, at Albert dock,
to Charing Cross pier. Dressed in
thick wooden combinations, blue cloth
shorts" and black overcOats, with tall
conical monks hoods, they lolled hap
pily on the cushioned seats, alternate
ly sleeping, nibbling penny cakes and
gazing at nothing in particular.
They followed Colonel Harrison off
the launch at Charing Cross with the
simplicity of children, climbed into
cabs, and not a CLEAN of intelligence
lit up their faces as they drove away.
They are in excellent health, and APP
pear to be thriving on plain European
food.

Many Liable to Arrest.

Many Liable to Arrest.
THE machinery Of the police de-
partment has been set in motion for
the avowed purpose of catching the
scorchers who prefer to ride their
bicycles on the sidewalks, rather
than in the road. The police never
did a better or more commendable
thing than the proposed enforce
ment Of the bicycle ordinance, and
it is to be hoped they will keep up the
work till a sufficient number have
been fined to cause a lessening If not
an abatement of the nuisance. North
Third street seems a particularly de-
sirable place for the law-breakers,
especially after dark. Here they
ride at breakneck speed on both
sides of the street, frequently two
abreast, without lights. bells or
whistles, and the danger to pedes-
TRANS is at all times great. 1t has
been suggested that good way to
put stop to the reckless riding is
for the mayor to appoint as special
police, without pay other than per
cent of the fines assessed, number
of residents on the streets worst in
tested and thus tighten the work OF
the regular police force.

Thomas Hill, manager and part
owner of the Del Mexicano restau-

peared, and a warrant is out for his
arrest, charging him with taking
money that belonged to his part
ner and livery rig owned by H. B.
Murchie.
Last Thursday Hill left town in
the livery rig, telling his wife he was

in a few hours. The following day
the report was brought to town thai
the team, hitched to the buggy, was
tied to a tree several miles up the
Natchez valley, where it had stood
nearly twenty-four hours. Mrs
Hill procured rig and upon driving
to the place indicated, found the re-
port to be untrue. Nothing has yet
been heard in regard to the team.
George German, partner of the
missing man, claims that Hill took
with him $SS which German gave
him to keep while he went swim.

Confesses Many Thefts.
An S-year-old boy. the youngest
son of family named Num-. was APP
pretended last Thursday morning by
Sheriff Grant, who suspected him OF
having taken a sum of money, about
$12, from the trunk of man room
ing on North First street. He was
taken to the Office Of the sheriff,
where close questioning ELECTED the
information that he had started out a
year ago on career Of crime in
which he has been remarkably sue
cessful. He stated that he took a
small sum on one occasion from a
till in Maillonxs store and similar
amounts at other places at various
times, also admitting that he broke
into a secondhand store few
months ago and ''swiped" some
watches, knives and spectacles.
When arrested, he was sporting a
new knife, some fishing tackle and
other things purchased with part of
the money last stolen. The boys
mother stated tnat she could not
control nim, and desired to have him
sent to the reform school, which will
probably lie the order Of the superior
court, at it's next sitting. Pending
this time the 10Y was given into the
custody of his parents. the state law
forbidding the incarceration in Jail

Dog Catcher Begins Work.

Owners of pet dogs that are
worth buying license tag for are
calling at the city clerks Office in
large numbers and separating them
selves from their dollars in order
that their CANNES may have a new
lease of life. There are a great
many dogs in the city, although
those really worth the one dollar
tax are comparatively few in num-
Der. City Clerk BROKER has a sup
ply of brass tags ready to meet the
demand. All dogs, regardless of
their age, sex or breed, are liable for
taxation. and while the catcher may
not go into the yard after the stay
at-home breed. he will pick up every
stray found without a collar and tag.
The dogs thus gathered in will be
kept in the pound for three days,
during which a descriptive notice
will be posted at the city hall, and
if the owner does not call and re-
deem his dog at the expiration of
that time, execution will follow.

Headed This Way.

Headed This way.
1t is probable that before the sum-
mer is over the Tacoma & Eastern
railway will be completed into the
Cowlitz coal fields. A force Of 500
men is now at work grading and lay
ing the track of the road from Elbe
toward Big Bottom on the Cowlitz.
This will complete the road to with
in s miles of the coal fields. Grad
ing will be pushed forward all sum-
mer with the view of getting into the
coal fields is possible before winter
sets in. When this part of the road is
finished there will remain space
of little over 40 miles between the
terminus and North Yakima.
Whether the road will ever be con-
structed to the Yakima valley is
problematical. Those who are IA
miliar with the plans of the men be-
hind the company say it will be built
to the Yakima valley within the next
two years.--Goldendal Sentinel.

Avoiding technical terms, the Review
will state that it belonged to that
part of the body extending from the
trunk to the knee, either fore or aft,
four feet two inches in diameter and
ranging from two to three feet in
circumference. Based on calcula-
tions of the construction of other
animals known, it must have been
the monarch of both sea and land.
The piece of its structure referred to
was found imbedded in the bank Of
a deep canyon, with one end protrud-
ing, at a distance of about two miles
from Fairview Mr.. Cox's son and
wife were the discoveries. The
specimen has been left with James
Townsend of this place and is well
worth seeing.

held in regard to the Interpretation
of the statutes governing existing
conditions, Auditor Newcomb of
Yakima county and auditor Gloyd
of Benton county were unable to
reach an agreement at their confer
ence last Thursday, held to appor-
ton the amount of Indebtedness
which the new county should as
sumo. A great deal Of responsi.
bllity attaches to the task, and the
AUDITORS agreed to defer the whole
matter until date when Judge
of the superior court, in AL proba-
bility Judge Rigg, can meet with
them and interpret the law. This
meeting will be held about the 18th
of this month, and until that time
no action will be taken.

What to DO With Estrays.

Stock owners should take notice of
the following item: Whenever
stock of any kind is taken up,a record
of the fact must now be made with
the county auditor. Whenever a
person loses horse, cow or any
other stock, he must make note of
the fact on the record kept by Audi
tor Newcomb for that purpose. Thus
stock cannot be legally disposed of by
some one who might take advantage
of circumstances and conditions"

The first page Of the Democrat our
readers will find is occupied with an
advertisement of M. Joachim which
will prove quite interesting to buyers
throughout the county from the fact
that the prices quoted by MIR. Joach-
imi are such that means a bargain in
each case, and the goods mentioned
are not only first-class but are exactly
what are needed at this season. This
sale will last twenty days and offers
inducements which should bring good
returns to Mr.. Joachim, and as he
adheres strictly to what he advertises
we predict he will realize just returns
in the premises. The sale begins on
November list.

Assaulted the Teacher.

Miss Lizzie Donohue, Of near SYRIA.
cuse who teaches the Bethel school,
seven miles northwest Of this city, had
trouble Monday afternoon with the
Morris boys by which she was ASSAULT
ed and received injuries on the face
that required a physicians attention.
From what we can gean of the facts
Miss Donohue attempted to chastize
one of the younger boys, when the
two older brothers interfered. One
of the boys struck the teacher with a
rock cutting an ugly cash in her fore
head just above the right eye. DR..
Lutman was summoned and found it
necessary to close the wound with
stitches.
The directors expelled the two
older boys from school, but Miss
Donohue, who shows considerable
grit, is teaching as usual. Trouble
originated last fall with the older of
the boys, when Miss Donehue was
brought into court charged with car
rying concealed weapons which she
welded in her determination to SUBJ
due the boy and keep order in her
school. The affair is very unfortunate
but the sympathy of the community
SO far as we can learn appears to be
with the nervy teacher.
