Kubelik's Remarkable Hindoo Serv-
ant.-In the retinue of Jan kubel1k,
the great young Bohemian violinist,
is Hindoo valet who has had most
remarkable life history, Dawson is his
very unromantic name, that is, it is
the name he assumed upon becoming
Anglicized and Christianized. In the
Indian province where Dawson was
born he had a name that was very
long and quite unpronounceable. Daw-
sons father took very sanguinary
part in the Sepoy rebellion and when
that conflict ceased he fled into the
mountains with his family and lived
the wild life for several years. Finally
Dawson's father died. and the boys
mother fell under the influence of an
English missionary. They were taken
to England and the boy was raised

Christian Kubelill met Dawson sew
eral years ago and engaged him prin-
cipally because the Hindoo spoke Eng
fish perfectly and as the virtuCso was
just learning the language he wanted
some one about him with whom he
could practice conversation. They re-
manned together for different reasons.
\ great attachment sprang up between
them, though in the relation of master
and servant Dawson presents a pic
turesque sight on the street. While he
has adopted European body dress, he
remains true to the peculiarly shaped,
gay hued turban common among his
countrymen. AS he is large and car
ries himself martially, he attracts
scarcely less attention in thrOng
than the swarthy, leonine haired XII

wanton Destruction Of Fish.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Steamboat Springs Saturday says;
Some miscreant last night attempted
to kill all the young fish in the Steam
boat Springs fish hatchery by shutting
off the water which supplied the build
ing at the head of Soda creek. and but
for the fortunate discovery by Superin-
tendent Brickel at O'Clock this morn
ing that the water was not flowing in
the trough. all of the half million young
trout would have been dead in short
time. 1t was only by most strenuous
work on the part of Mr.. Brickefs fam
lily that enough fresh water was kept
in the trough to preserve the life in
the fish and this was supplied by buck
cts from a ditch at some little distance
from the hatchery. Early this morn
ing it was thought every fish that had
been Matched this year would die, but
this evening the superintendent has
hope of saving considerably more than
half of those which have attained
growth of one inch or more, but all
of the late Matching are dead and the
loss may reach 200 900 of both rainbow
and native trout.

Relief-Doctor Was Afraid to
Touch Them-Cured by
Cuticura.

For a long time ! suffered with
sores on the hands which were itch
ing, painful and disagreeable. / had
three doctors. and derived no benefit
from any of them. One doctor said
he was afraid to touch my hands, SO
you must know how bad they were;
another said | never could be cured;
and the third said the sores were
caused by the dipping of my hands
in the water in the dye-house where
! work. / saw in the papers about
the wonderful cures of the Cuticura
Remedies and procured some of the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
In three days after the application
of the Cuticura Ointment my hands
began to peel and We're better. The
soreness disappeared, and they are
now smooth and clean, and ! am still

PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
Small Dassers Of Light Sent Out by
the centipede.

Among the peculiar powers OF ami
mails there are none harder to explain
than the power of being self-luminous
1t is sometimes termed phosphores
cence, but it is not nors supposed to
depend upon phosphorus in the ami
NAL. correspondent OF Nature de-
scribes her experience with lumi-
nous centipede which shows the evil
dent purpose of the luminous sub
stance as a means of defense. Atten-
ton was first attracted by light OF
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward over the gravel. leaving behind
a trail of light, which. gradually sep
arating. became a scattered mass OF
brilliant points. The scattered points
proved to be red ants, which were pur.
suing the centipede. 1t had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put IN
a tumbler where it flashed out
mass of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive, strange
prickly sensation was felt as from
slight charge of electricity. The cen
tipede would writhe the light out of its
body in blue-green flashes until IT had
exhausted its luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly TO
be one of the uses of this secretion.

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Disested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong II the break

breakfast of eggs and toast. She

annoying form of Indigestion. My
stomach was in such a condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet

hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with

more than a year / have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
Il have been teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving of nervous

escaped assassination Saturday after
neon at the hands of the Imperial
Guards in the guard camp at KrasEoye-
Selo. The grand duke was personally

startled by the wasp-like hiss of bull

neither himself nor his horse was

1t was only after a long investiga-

battalion of sharpshooters, one OF the
elite corps fthe Russian army. Sus-
piclon was directed toward the 'one

came.
Suddenly. when the first echclon of
the attacking force, consisting of
sharpshooters, was from 400 to 500
yards distant, bullet sang high over
head, followed by another and still
another. The cry was raised, they
are firing ball" and the group was
thrown into great confusion. After
frantic signaling cease firing" was
sounded but the shots continued for
some time.
Grand Duke Nicholas remarked when
he Joined his suite: 1T would be more
realistic If the troops always fired ball
during maneuvers, but this is unpar-
donable negligence"
How the conspirators obtained ball
cartridges has not been ascertained, as
ammunition is always called in after
the men return from patrol duty.
Fully hundred shots were fired but

them to open fire at such a distance
as to frustrate their object Before

Worlds Cotton Consumption.

The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world. but
from 1898 to 1908 the average was TO-
6S4,146 bales annually. and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
II the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next hve year
period the average will be nearly 49,

will be much higher than in the pre-

rHlEvrNe SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF
Robins Successfully Defend Nest
Against Marauder.

A pair of robins proved too much
for a marauding squirrel in Independ-
ence square yesterday. While on
midair cruise he suddenly stopped as
though something special had attract
ed his attention, and then he came
down the tree in slow, unconcerned
manner. The secret was out when
he shyly began the ascent of another
oak. in the branches of which pair
of the redbreasts had built their nest.
His little eyes glistening and his

most reached the little blue eggs in
the nest when the mother bird and
her mate saw him and flew down from
their upper perch. They We're on Mr..
Squirrel in an instant, and the fur
flew when their beaks got into action.
The retreat of the squirrel was quick
ly effected. The watchers were
amused. Then second time the rob-
ber advanced, and was so successful
as to get one of the eggs in his paws
before the birds came to the rescue.
The squirrel was nonplussed. as he
couldn't back down with the egg with
the birds pecking him, and he was
loath to relinquish his hardwon prize.
His hesitation was fatal. though, as
the birds. with concerted rush. fair
ly showed him out OF the nest, and the
robins followed him so quickly and
furiously that the egg was dropped
and smashed on the ground. The
squirrel then gave up his purloininS

to Jail because they would not testify
as witnesses in the examination into
the alleged election frauds of May 5th
on the vote for franchises for the Den
yer City Tramway Company and the
Gas and Electric Company.
Judge Peter l.. Palmer took jurisdic-
ton in a habeas corpus proceeding
and ordered the sheriff to produce the
prisoners in court September llth, and
show why he held them. Meanwhile he
released them from custody on bond
of 81 900 in each case.
Judge John !. Mullins, who at pres
ent presides in the criminal branch OF
the District Court. held that under the
rule of the District Court the writs are
returnable in the Criminal Court and
set aside the order admitting the pris-
oners to bail. This makes them liable
to reincarceration at once on the orig
fnal commitments to Jail made out by
Judge Lindsey. The sheriff was In
structed to apprehend them immedi-
ately and take them back to jail. So
far they have not been found.
Besides the search for the four per-
sons bv the sheriff on the order for
their incarceration issued by Judge
Mullins, officers have new subpoenas to
serve, ordering them into the County
Court to act as witnesses. Ii is plain
that Judge Lindsey intends TO compel
