In the midst of the great Elmer
dorf stock farm in Fayette county,
Ky, owned by James Ben Ali Hag-
gin. the famous turfman, is sixteen
acre patch of ground that is a thorn
in the side Of Haggin. 1t is owned by
Dennis Mahoney, fence builder, ana
has been his home for sixty years.

then that he purchased the little plot

"big and little Elmendorf." Mr.. Hag-

on the farm, hoping to secure by diplo

foh dEN. NELSON 4. MILES ESCAPED
OEHIH 1T THE HHNDS OF CHIEF LIME DEER

For the fraction of an instant 1t
seemed as though the hostilities were
10 end then and there. Grudgingly
the cbieftain received the proffered
sign of peace, and stood waiting in
sullen but submissive silence, though
every nerve in his bronze-covered
muscles was tense and quivering, and
the old man still maintained all his
suspicion of such conciliatory meas
ures. The incident seemed to beto-
ken propitious ending, when, on the
instant, an over-zealous trooper, who
had been fighting in the rear dashed
up on horseback, and decrying his
general shaking hands with the willy
and armed savage chieftain, coolly
raised his rife to his shoulder and
covered Lame Deer with the muzzle.
His action occurred at some distance
from the leaders, but the eagle-like
glance and shrewd and swift compre.
hension of the Indian chief perceived
1t, and at once believed that his whole
force was to be shot down. With the
swiftness of lightning he jerked his
hand from that of Gen. Miles, and at
the same time, without raising the
rifle to his shoulder. he fired as the
weapon hung at his side, with re.
markable accuracy at the American
| general In the brief interval between
Lame Deer's first hostile movement
and the shot, Gen. Miles had whirled
his horse around, and the animal set
ting upon his launches in the move
ment shifted the position of the gen
eral. The action saved Gen. Miles
life. The bullet from Lame Beers
rife sped through the space which ar
instant before had been occupied by
the Generals body and pierced the
breast of trooper sitting mounted
just in the rear of the general, kill
ing the man instantly. The shot from
the chief was the signal for an attacl
by the troopers upon the little groul
of Indians; an attack which was owe
within moment, leaving all the bant
lying either dead or wounded upol
the prairie. Had it not been for tn
instant intuition of Gen. Miles an,
his sudden shifting of position Of
horseback, the bullet which whizze
close to his head and passed throug
the heart of soldier in the rea
would have ended his existence the

In addition to the school named

the following is general description:
The School of Applied Science is so
designed as to administer to the needs
OF such a school, operative for both
day and night students, and for the
training of young men over sixteen
years old during the periods of two or
three years, for such callings as
draughtsmen, inspectors, foremen, en-

other positions above those of the
skilled mechanic. where intelligence

ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life, Amy
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one of the conf
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blood that
puses the attack by the use Of a remedy
that win do the work quickly and
thoroughly What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:

/ great sufferer from nervous headache aud
! dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
aid became so restless that could not
sit still any length of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. AT first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became so acute that was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in the

Destructive Swiss AvaIanches.

An avalanche which recently occur
red near the town of Davos, in Swift
zerland, came down from a height of
nearly 1900 feet, and entirely closed
one of the rural roads leading to the
city. In order to restore passage it
was necessary to cut tunnel through
the hard snow. To what extent and
of what magnitude such avalanches
occur in Switzerland may be imagined
from the fact that about two months
ago a slide took place from the gla-
ciers which was estimated to contain
over 100000 cubic feet OF snow. In
many instances small villages have
been entirely buried under these
masses
