Oluf Hansen, manager of the lum-
Der yard over at Hamlin, came over
the Fourth and attended lumber
mems meeting the next day.
Some parties were over this way
Tuesday mailing up advertisements
for the Harlan Chautauqua, which
will be held from August four to
twelve, this year.
Simon Petersen had the north
wall of his confectionery and
barber shop in Elk Horn, boil
stored up with lot of cement build
ing blocks the first of the week.
That hail storm on July Fourth
hoped around good deal like
parched pea on hot stove. The
first glimpse we got of it's rayages
was about one mile east of Elk Horn
where it split the corn blades quite
badly, but as the tassel was down
few inches in the stalk, it was not
injured much and while it will put
the crop back some, yet the main
part of it will come out all right.
Passing along up to Kimballton, we
saw no marks of the storm but were
told that about two miles east, at
the homes of Lars Larsen and Peter
Rasmussen, the damage was greatest,
their crop being well nigh a total
ruin. From here the storm passed
southwest but did not reach more
than mile and one-half south of
Elk Horn and was only about one
mile wide. The hail stones came
peppering down 30 lively as to al
most spoil the celebration in the
afternoon but the forenoon was
passed very pleasantly. A horse race
and the CREASED pole were features;
but in the CREASED pole contest the
committee put the pole too close to
a tree and the small boys climbed
the tree and .'swiped'' the watch.
About half past three O'clock an
ominous cloud appeared in the north
east and soon the ground was covered
with hail to such a depth that one
could imagine himself climbing up
good old Pixies Peak, out in Colorado,
and even as late as Friday some of
the stones could be found on the
| north side OF the buildings.

FIVE STAGES ARE HELD UP.
Lone Bandit Has a Busy Day |
Yosemite Valley.

Wawona, Cal, July Give
Yosemite valley stages were held Up
by a lone highwayman, who obtained
considerable amount of money and
jewelry. The conveyances were halt
ed in rapid succession, at a curve in
the road near Advance, at the iden-
teal spot where lone bandit, oper-
ating year ago, relieved several
wealthy tourists of their valuables.
The stages were travelling sufficiently
far apart to avoid each others dust
and when the first vehicle reached the
turn in the road the highwayman,
whose features we're concealed by a
buster thrown over his head, stepped
out, pointed a gun at the driver and
commanded him to halt. Some of
the women passengers screamed, but
others began without delay to secrete
their valuables. The highwayman di-
rected all passengers to throw out
their money and jewelry and when the
order met with compliance, directed
the driver to move on. The second
stage arrived within few minutes
after the first and the driver and pas
sengers suffered similar experience.
The process was repeated until all
five had been halted and robbed, when
the bandit disappeared in the brush.

EAGLES IN BATTLE.
The Daring and skill of These Fierce
Birds of Prey.

Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in the
habit of attacking large animals, but
contest witnessed by an observer dis
pels such theory. The battle was
between an eagle and stag.
The bird singled out from herd one
particular buck, which it succeeded in
driving from the rest 1t struck the
animal with its powerful wings, knock
ed it down and finally killed it. A still
more remarkable spectacle is we'll au-
thenticated. An eagle attacked a
fawn in the highlands Of Scotland.
The cries Of the little one were an
swered by it's dam, which sprang upon
the eagle and struck it repeatedly with
it's forefeet. Fawn, deer and eagle
rolled down declivity, the bird was
dislodged from it's hold and the fawn
rescued
Many traditions are extant as to the
carrying off of children by eagles. The
most recent case bearing close scru-
tiny is one which happened in South
Africa. A Boer farmer whose stock
had been harried by eagles lay in am
bush for the robbers and saw one of
them descend and carry off the five
year-old child Of one of the Kaffir serv-
ants. He shot the bird, which, with
the child still clutched in its grip, fell
into thorn bush. The bird was dead.
but the child was little hurt.
Two eagles will stalk a covert in
concert. While one conceals itself the
other beats about the bushes with
great screaming, driving out it's quarry
for the hidden eagle to swoop down
upon. An even more insidious method
has been observed. An eagle seeing
sheep on the edge Of precipice flew
at it, screaming shrilly and with force
full beat of wing hurled it into the val
ley below, where it could devour 1t at
its leisure. In the light of such rec
orGs there is good reason for believing
the legend Of the eagle dropping tor
toise on the bald head of Eschylus,
the Greek poet and SO causing his
death.

MUTINY OF CAVALRY
KAsARvA REGIMENT AT TAMBov
THE FIRST TO RISE.
Mutineers When Attacked by Loyal
Troops Offer Armed Resistance.
cossacks Also Disregard Duty and
Refuse to Fire on Rioters.

Tambov, July 10.-A mutiny broke
out in the Kasarva regiment of cav.
airy and during the consequent disor.
der an infantry officer and a soldier
of the Nejint dragons, who attack
ed the nutineers, were killed. The
mutineers have barricaded themselves
in their barracks.
st. Petersburg, July 10.-The news
of the mutiny at Tambov, which ap-
parently is the most serious Of such
affairs since the Sevastopol mutiny, is
confined to the bare details of cen
sored agency dispatch, showing that
the 'fnutineers, when attacked by loyal
troops, offered armed resistance be-.
fore retreating to their barracks,
where they are now barricaded. In
previous mutinies this year the disaf.
fected troops have submitted when
confronted by loyal detachments. The
outbreak is quick commentary on
General Trepoff's declaration in the
interview with him, published July
z, in which he affirmed that the cav
airy could be more depended upon
than the infantry, because their Off
GERS were in closer touch with their
men.
A company of Cossacks which had
been garrisoning Uzvoka has been
sent away on account OF the soldiers
refusal. to fire on manifestants.
The Cossacks of the Second reserve
who had been ordered modified for
police service have refused to join
the colors.
For participa ION in agrarian disor-
ders in the province of Nishni-Nov-
gorod 446 peasants have been indict-
ed. Among the accused is member
of the lower house of parliament,
named Filatoff.
In consequence of the arrest of
Jew in the Hebrew quarter of Grodno,
a crowd of Jews attacked the arrest
ing patrolman with stones. Several
revolver shots were fired, and the
policeman in self defense killed one
of the Jews. There is extreme irrita-
ton, both among the Jewish and the
Christian population.

handing that he relinquish his office.
Mayor Rose will continue to perform
his official duties as mayor until the
case is acted upon by the United

lieved his term of office will expire
before that tribunal decides the case.

CENSUS ON BLIND AND DEAF.
One Person in Every 1900 Blind and
One in Each $50 Deaf.

One Person in Every 1900 Blind and
One in Each $50 Deaf.
Washington, July 9.-About one per-
son in every 1000 was blind and one
in every $50 persons was deaf in the
United States in 1900, according to a
special census report On the blind
and deaf in the United States in that
year, just issued by the census Of
flee. The inquiry was conducted un-
der the direction of DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell. The total number of
blind in the United States in 1900
was 64,763, of whom 1886 were to-
tally blind and 29,118 partially blind.
These figures, however, the report
says, can be only considered as the
minimum, as an unknown proportion
of the blind were not located by the
enumerators. OF the total blind, 37,O54
were males and 27,708 females. Blind
ness is chiefly defect of adult life,
almost IS per cent of the blind be-
coming SO after twenty years of age.
About one-tenth of the total number
of blind was born so. The number of
blind per 1000 of population was
greater among the negroes than
among the whites and greater among
the foreign born whites than among
the native whites. In about 5 per
cent of the cases of blindness reported
the parents of the blind were cousins.
Deafness, on the whole, the report
says, is more common in the north
ern part of the United States than in
the southern and there are more deaf
males than females. The total num-
Der of deaf in the United States is
given as 89,287, of whom 37,426 were
totally deaf and 51.861 partially deaf.

Kills Himself in Unusual Fashion.

New York, July 9-An unidentified
man killed himself in an unusual fash
ion in the Bronx, to the horror of a
number of persons who happened to
be in ST. Mary's park, near the scene
of his suicide. After pacing the side
walk for some time in evident mental
distress, he drove his head against
the thick plate glass front window of
a saloon until it was shivered from
top to bottom. Then, with big frag-
ment of the broken pane, he cut his
throat. A policeman summoned an
ambulance, but the man bled to death
before he reached the place.

New York, July 1O.-The interna-
tional policyholders' committee, or.
ganized to overthrow the present
management of the New York Life In.
surance company and the Mutual Life
Insurance company of New York, eff
fected permanent organization at a
meeting here. Richard Olney of Mas

The general committee formally
added to the list of it's members the
names of Lord St. Oswald and Har-
wood Barnard, M. P, to represent
the English policyholders. After the
meeting the committee issued an adj

the inception of the committee and
outlining its plan of action.
Reciting that the voting power has
gradually been transferred from the
policyholders to a few of the execu.
tive officers centered in New York,
the address says that it is necessary
for the 100000 policyholders to OF.
ganize without delay, as this year, un.
der the law recently enacted, affords
the policyholders their only oppor.
tunity to obtain complete control in
one election. while hereafter only half
