CLINTON, Ia. Sept. 14.-Guided by
some strange power, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Donohue of this city journeyed
to a wild spot on the shore of the
Mississippi river and there found the
body of their baby daughter for whom
parties of men had been dragging the
river for several days. The child was

boat and drowned one day last week,
and all efforts to recover the body
had been unsuccessful.
The mysterious force led the grief
stricken parents to arise at 5 o'clock
although they had made no plans to
do so. Without saying a word to each
other they got into a skiff and the
man began rowing down stream. In
silence they continued for two miles,
until they reached Beaver island.
On the upper side Of the island
stands a great cottonwood tree. whose
branches rise high above the other
foliage on the shore. Straight for the
tree the skiff went, and when its bow
touched the gnarled roots which ex-
tended into the water, father and
mother turned to see the little dress
of the baby caught on a jagged root.
Just under the surface the body lay
on the sand.

Half decade ago, while living in

inflicted was just below the left eye.
For year afterwards McCabbage was
kept on a soft food diet, and was never

Beast One Of Three That Escaped
From Ringing Circus.
TERRIFIC FIGHT MADE IN THE BRUSH
ANIMAL DlsEMBoWELS THREE
PURSUERS.

FRIENDSHIP, Wis, Sept. IA
party of farmers who have been scour-
ing the northern part of Adams county
for one of the three leopards which
recently escaped from a circus and
which have been playing havoc with
stock in this and adjoining counties,
succeeded in bringing the beast to bay
in a dense thicket one mile south of
the farm of Wesley Russell.
The hunters had trailed the animal
for a day and had several times caught
sight of it, but were unable to get
within firing distance until just about
dusk.
The farmers had several hounds with
them and these were sent into the
brush to flush the game. This they
did not succeed in doing, but the hunt
ers, hearing noise of a terrific en-
counter, decided to attempt to pene-
trate the brush in pursuit of the ami
NAL.
Kills Three Dogs.
When they had reached a small
clearing, where the brush had been
burned over, they discovered the leo
pard, a magnificent brute of extraor-
dinarily large size engaged in a des-
perate battle with the dogs, and these
had surrounded the leopard and were
charging upon it from different points.
The leopard was too agile for them,
however, and with lightninglike ra-
pidity would turn to meet the assault
head-on, striking at the dogs with its
powerful claws and driving them out
of range. 1t disemboweled three of
them with it's sharp claws when the
hunters arrived, but the fourth, a
sturdy little bull terrier, had succeed
ed in landing on the leopard's back and
was holding on to the scruff Of its neck
like grim death.
The hunters fired a volley at the
beast, but in the darkness they ap-
parently did not succeed in hitting it
but did hit the dog, which had it by
the neck, instantly killing it.

for its decision to go ahead with the
paving, Notwithstanding the strong
and influential opposition which has
been made against this public i'm
provement.
The East Oregonian does not desire
TO see the city plunged into debt, nor,
encountered beyond the earning ca
pacity OF property, but 1t certainly
does believe in necessary public i'm
provements, which can be reached
easily and paid for by degrees.
There is such a thing as costly
economy and muddy streets is one of
these very things. The cost of re-
pairing and cleaning muddy streets
for very few years would build
paving that would last for all time.
The city council is to be congratu-
lated for its decision to pave the
streets. The opposition which has
been brought against paving was no
small matter, and the council was
justified in hesitating. 1t has SEEM
ingly met the situation as bravely as
it was possible to do under the cir
cumstances.

The bureau of labor and statistics
of that state has begun the compila-

these statistics being gathered ac-
cording to counties, and they prove
very interesting.
The returns for the counties Of
Audrian. Cooper, Galloway and Cole
have been completed. The figures
show that these four counties shipped
4.G32.722 dozens of eggs, a total OF
55.5g2.G64. or more than a dozen eggs
for each man, woman and child in the
state, putting the population at B..
100000.
They also shipped 5,O53,216 pound:
of dressed poultry and 12,33717'

virile antagonist in the commercial
arena. She is a wounde Amazon, her
life blood ebbing away ana her strong
arms hanging limp and paralyzed at
her side.
Instantly those who have combat
ted her in the financial and CONNER
cial world. those who have been pit
ted against her in the competitive
struggle of the age, those who have
sought to weaken her wondrous in
dustrial activities by invading her
trade-all who have been antagonists
of this strong and splendid city, are
now bent over her in TENDERNESS and
pity.
Antagonists no longer, her old RI
walls are now rushing to her aid witt
overflowing gifts and unstinted sym
pathy and assistance.
The grand hailing sign of distress
has been flung across the land, anc
instantly the lifted lances of CONNER

There is no other spirit on eartl

Germany is the largest producer OF
potatoes in the world, growing as
high as 4S,OOO, 900 tons in one year.
1t offers a good field for a successful

much. Germany bought $1,474,145
worth of agricultural machines and

s4.152,262 worth of such implements
from the United States, and the Ar
gentIne Republic s5,733,615 worth

such machinery. British North Amer

THE BOON OF FREE ALCOHOL

If anything like the results claimed
for it are secured, free alcohol will
put the standard Oil trust out of bus
mess, revolutionize farm labor and
life, stimulate the arts and industries
and very generally ameliorate human
conditions.
the farm by extraction by fermenta-
ton from all the plants containing
sugar. Corn is admittedly the best,
but the beet is not much inferior.
while potatoes. sugar cane, rice, grape
pulp, fruit, wheat, rye, barley and
oats may also be utilized for this
purpose.
In all these there are heat, power
and light to be extracted. The cost
of making grain alcohol has been
variously computed. 1t was shown
during the hearings of the ways and
/ means committee that, on the aver
age. one bushel of corn would yield
/ 4.76 proof gallons of alcohol. which
is equal approximately to 2l2 wine
/ gallons.
Therefore, if corn be counted as
worth 45c bushel, the cost of max
! ing alcohol would be less than 20c.
But for denaturized alcohol the
poorest quality of corn will suffice,
as will other refuse products, such as
. potatoes, rice and the like, and the
cost will be further reduced, it is held,
by the fact that the by-products
would probably be worth the cost of
distillation.
Altogether it is thought denatur-
lied alcohol may be sold for less than
2Oc gallon retail. Thus the farmers
may not only grow rich from the pro
duction of alcohol on their own fields
but agriculture will be immensely
simplified by having cheap, portable
fuel for running harvesting, planting
and cultivating machinery, for pump
ing and in rendering other services
about the place now out of the ques
ton.
