News Of cannibal feast held by ma
tives of Mallicolo was brought by the
steamship Miowera from Australia.
Two natives of Moskelyn island We're
trading when they were waylaid by
Kanakas and slaughtered. Their bod
les were carried to a coast village,
where they were opened as game ana
prepared for a feast.
AS the bodies were being taken
away in a native canoe they aroused
the suspicion of NJ. Vigourese, q
French trader, but the natives told
him they had killed some pigs and he,
believing their story, allowed them to
go. 1t subsequently appeared that sew
eral tribes had assembled and Toasted
on human flesh. Under pressure na-
tiyes admitted they had roasted the
bodies.
The AIiowera also brought news of
the murder of Captain William Finlay-
son Of the trading cutter Save by ma
tiyes of the Solomon group. He was
hacked to pieces with tomahawks. The
murderous natives were captured by
the captain OF another trader when
they were trying to sail away with the

of modern chivalTy, somebody ran FOL

Graf Won Pueckler was taken to the
neighbOring city of Glogau and thece
fined like a common disturber of re
peace At his trial it was stated that
on one occasion the count, riding al
the head Of his bold men, saw a lot o.
women working in a potato field an /
charged upon them, making them
scamper to places of safety. But this.
the count declared, was only a harm
less little medieval joke.
In regard to his war upon the thrash.
ing machine, however. he took another
stand. That was no joke. but a sol
emn duty, and when the judge said
that he doubted if Won Pueckler was
in his right mind, but considered him
sane enough to be responsible for his
actions, the count replied with a lit
tie speech which reminds one of
Burke's celebrated "The Age of Chiv-
airy Has Gone" etc.
Il am absolutely unable to compre-
bend the present age" said he. Nat
ural man is no longer understood. The
base mechanic has destroyed the free
dom and poetry Of life. We live in ali
age of degeneration and decay, and all
my attempts to bring back the grand
old life of purer and better times are
misunderstood and condemned
The count paid his fine and seemed
somewhat disheartened at the lack of
appreciation shown his efforts to at
tain the simple, medieval life. But
be has not dismissed his rough riders
and German purchasers of American
farming machinery still have Graf Won
Puecller to reckon with.

the fight against the Yankee peril in
Germany would receive more consid-
crate treatment But the judge before
whom the count was brought seems to
have been sadly lacking in patriotism.
Won Pueckler has a large estate in
Silesia, where lie lives in feudal style
and tries to realize the good old days
of the robber barons when the graf in
the castle was the lord of life and
death over the surrounding country.
To live the medieval life is with the
count just as collecting old furniture
and old china is with some Americans.
He maintains a body of mounted de
pendents, at the head of which he has
often ridden about soaring and har-
rying Jews on his own estates, and
when they moved away he has made
'forays to neighboring estates and, with
dog and horn and gathering hoof, rid
den down and dashed all Jews whom
his scouts could bring him word Of
But the count after awhile got into
serious trouble with the government
and with his neighbors who failed to
appreciate his mediaevalism. He gain
ed notoriety throughout the world for
his fad, but circumstances over which
he had no control forced him to give it
up, at least partially, SO he turned his
attention to devices for farming, those
mechanical contrivances most Of which
are swiftly replacing even upon the
banks of the Oder those more pictur-
esque and deliberate methods of agri-
culture by which the soil was titled in
the good old days.
The sound of a moving machine is
as the challenge to battle in the ears
of Won PueckIer, and the vapor arising
from a steam thrasher is as the smoke
of sheOl in his n0strils. There is no
record of tie count having charged a
moving machine or a Mccormick reap
er. They are not nice things to charge
when in action, and if the valiant me-
diaevalist ever did make such a charge
he probably was worsted, for there is
nothing in the police court to tell Of the
fray. But he will not have such things
upon his own estate and has tried his
best to get them banished from the
estates of his neighborS.
The other day as the count was rid.
Ing out with his cavalry looking for
some American devil machine which
he might destroy-without too much
danger to himself-he came across
steam thrasher working away in 4

New Invention Which Saves the

Michigan inventor has devised an at
tachment which measures and weighs
the article while in the scoop. The
latter is of the ordinary form, with
the exception of ledge at the top of
the back portion. This ledge is grad
uated to indicate pounds, ounces, etc,
the quantity being indicated by a
swinging pointer. Directly in the back
of the scoop is a casing which holds
the weighing mechanism, consisting of
a spring and levers, a small space be-
ing between the casing and the back
of the scoop. A handle is connected
to the casing, the weighing mechanism
being partly inclosed in the handle. A
spring-pressed bolt, arranged on the
bottom of the handle, is adapated to
project into a hole in the back wall of
the casing to hold the scoop and
weighing mechanism together. When,
however, the bolt is withdrawn the
scoop is free to move up and down,
the weight of the scoop and it's con-
tents being then thrown upon the bal
ance spring. In use, when the scoop
has been filled, the bolt under the ham
die is drawn back, releasing the scoop
and at once resting it's weight upon
the weighing mechanism. The weight
of the contents will then be indicated
by the pointer, after which the con-
tents can be emptied into a bag or
other receptacle.

TRACT SET OUT TO TREES THIS week
FLOWER BEDS, sHRUBBERY AND

A cozy little park, with flower beds,
lawns and shaded walks, will be one
of the attractions at the fair grounds
in another year or so, or as soon as
nature does the work that the offic-
ials of the Walla Walla County Fair
association have started. The TRAN
gular strip of land, containing nearly
two acres, located just east of the
main entrance to the grounds, was set
out to ornamental and shade trees this
week and the work of putting in the
flower beds and shrubbery will be
started as soon as all danger from
frosts has passed. A fence was being
erected around the tract this morning
to protect the trees.
Among the shade and ornamental
trees set out this week were ever
green's, lindens, North Carolina pop
lars and several locusts. The little
park will prove quite an attraction, as
it will be provided with numerous
settes and benches for the accommo-
dation of visitors to the grounds.

persons comprehend.

representatives of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad have been in
Tacoma to see if it is possible to get
greater dispatch on the timber requir-
ed for the extension of their railroad
west from Pierre on the Mississippi
river.

of ties and timber have been order

INDIANS START FOR WASHINGTON
To Protest Against the Jones Bill FOR
the Sale of Allotted
Lands.

To protest to the government against
the Jones DILL for the sale of allotted
lands, Frank Meacham and wife and
Indian Steele have left North Yakima
as the advance delegation for WASH
ington city. They are of the Wisram
tribe of Oregon, but have been living
in Yakima. They will also protest
against the rules of the Indian depart
ment requiring administration on the
estates of dead Indians before the
minor children can lease the land. This
rule has caused about fifty such ad-
ministra tons since it went into effect
last fall, and it is causing no end of
tOruble and annoyance to the Indians,
who have to foot the court bills and
attorney fees, in many instances such
bills running up to the amount of rem
tai received from the land for the
first year or so.
These delegates will be joined later
by Yakima Indians and others from
the Colville and Umatilla reservations,
where the same Objectionable rule is
being enforced
