In a bee line the distance is about
eighty miles and it is absolutely GER

Swallowed Live Goldfish.

In view Of some 20persons,a Pitts
burg broker swallowed a live gold
fish in Newell's Hotel Saturday af-
ternoon. The consultor of the tick
er complacently swallowed the fish,
which at his request, was taken
from a small aquarium behind the
bar, swallowed a glass of beer for a
chaser, and offered to wager $40 with
the bartender that he could swallow
every fish in the globe.
Several men, among them the
broker, were standing IN front of
Newell's bar drinking at 8 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. 1t was the
brokers' treat. =
"What'll you have?" said he, as
he threw silver dollar on the mar
BILE counter. All took beer but the
broker.
LET me see," said he to the bar
tender. Guess I'll have a gold
fish,"
Trapped oil straight? said the
dispenser of drinks.
Plain" said the broker, as he
picked from the counter goldfish
which the bartender had taken from
the globe.
Here's luck, boys" said the
broker, as he swallowed the fish and
then quaffed a glass of beer. 81
The bartender then rang up 80
cents on the cash register, charging
10 cents for the fish.

A NEW REPUBLIC
Planned by The Beers to
Be Set up in At
RIGA.

A conspiracy has been discovered
in German South Africa on the part
of Beers who were taken there from
Cape Colony to assist in the war
against the Herreros, to overthrow
the German rule in that territory
and establish a Boer republic in
stead. The leader of the conspiracy
is Andrew DeWet, nephew of the
Boer General DeWet and he, with
his principal supporters, has been
arrested. DeWet's plan was to sur
prise the small German garrison at
Windhuk, seize the governor general
and massacre every one who resisted
his attempt to secure possession Of the
country.
Having thus captured the capital of
the territory. he intended to proceed
to the conquest of the country, mas
sacreing the German troops unless
they surrounded. -
The Beers had obtained promise
of support from the Withbois, Her.
reros and other native tribes by
pledging themselves to restore the
native privileges after the Germans
had been driven from the country.

THE WOMEN
To Play Very Important Part In
the Chicago Public
Schools.

A remarkable event in the histo-
ny of the Chicago public school sys-
TEN is the appointment of Miss Ad-
dams to the very responsible and
high position of chairman of the
school management committee. She
has displayed administrative and ex-
ecutive abilities of high order, the
admirable management Hull House,
with its numberless educational and
uplifting activities, having excited
admiration among all those that are
familiar with the splendid institu-
ton. To convictions and the cour-
age of them she joins tact, practical
sagacity and tolerance.
Ddring the fifteen years Miss
Adams has been head of Hull
House she has become information
ally famous. In a quiet way the
settlement has been conducting
classes in which more than 1000
men, women and children are en-
rolled. The best educators have
been obtained and the most advan-
ced educational principles have been
put into force. Few persons in Chi
cago are aware of this classroom
work of the settlement. but it is not
ed the world over among students
of sociology.
As chairman of the school man.
agement committee Mrs. Adams
will have as aides DR.. Cornelia b.
DeBey and Mrs. Emmons Blaine,
both of whom for years have taken
a prominent part in educational af-
fairs. Mrs. Blaine has contributed
more than 81 ,000, 900 to the cause of
education, while DR.. DeBey has been
associated with the schools as an in
structor in the normal school and
later as champion of the most adj
vanced pedagogical ideas.
1t will be recalled that Justice
Brewer in an interview on the fu-
ture of women in the political and
social spheres paid a warm tribute
to Miss Adams and nominated"
her for Mayor of Chicago. We can
not make Miss Adams mayor in the
present State of the law of Illinois,
but the people of the city can con-
graduate the school board and them
selves on her appointment to pub
lie position hardly less useful and
distinguished, and this they are un-
doubtedly doing in their hearts.

OIL IN LARUE COUNTY.
Found at the Depth of Only IL
Feet---Belief That Fine
Wells Will Result.

The people of the Lyons section of
the county are very much interested
in the matter Of boring oil wells in
their section for the purpose of test
ing the question as to whether oil
can be found there in payinglquanti-
ties. 1t has been supposed for years
that the section around Lyons would
likely produce oil if wells were ever
bored. but no practical test has ever
been made of it. However, the
matter has been tested by accident
and the belief is that fine wells could
be bored in that vicinity and consid-
cradle excitement prevails among
the people a. the present time. A
few days ago three wells were dug
for the purpose of getting water,
and when the wells We're only twelve
or thirteen feet deep oil was discov-
cred in considerable quantity.
These wells are all on the Thomas
Eden farm, just below Lyons Sta
ton and on the l.. and n. rail-
road.

This battery began its career by par

eight battles and Slxirmishes during its
term OF service. From the battle of
Full Run the battery went to Harper's

winter quarters at PoolSyille, Md, and
doing picket duty. one or two sections
at q time at Edwards and Conrad's

In March. 1867. the battery was as
