SUES J. ]. HILL AND
THE GREAT NORTHERN,
of Big Railroad Charges
That Magnate Made Ten Million Profit
Out Of Burlington Deal.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, July 23.-Clarence
H. Venner, of New York. began suit
against j. ]. Hill and the Great North
ern Railway Company, in the Ramsey
County District Court, the complaint
being filed late yesterday, in which he
alleges that Hill wrongfully and
f~raudulently, while acting in his
capacity as president of the Great
Northern Railway Company, acquired
stock of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad at prices averaging
about $3.50 per share, and that he in
duced the board of directors of the
Great Northern to pay 5000 per share
for the stock. He claims that Fill
thereby made a profit of more han
ten million dollars. Venner sues as the
holder of 80 shares of Great Northern
stock, and asks the court to compel
Hill to account for his profits and to
pay to the stockholders of the Great
Northern the alleged illegal gains.

TOO GOOD TO LOSE.
Why a Brave Man Saved the Life Of
His Enemy.

In the little town Of Midway, KY,
two men lived at enmity, personal
and political, so long that their feud
was one Of the traditions Of the town.
Only the intervention Of friends had
more than once prevented, them from
doing each other bodily injury. One
day year ago, says Worlds Work,
one of the men, Richard Dodson, was
discovered at dusk lying senseless in
his private gas well, dying of suffo-
J cation. No one Of the crowd that gath
cred at the mouth Of the well dared
to risk his life in an effort to save
him.
Then his enemy, Rufus K. Combs,
came breathless to the spot. By the
light Of a lamp he looked down and
saw the body, face downward, in the
mud at the bottom Of the we'll. With
out hesitation, he slipped into the
narrow manhole, hung by his hands
and dropped into the darkness and
the suffocating fumes Of the pit.
He lifted the body Of his enemy.
and, by dogged effort, raised himself
to a foothold on a. small tank inside
the we'll, and lifted the body above
his head to the manhole. The crowd
caught Dodson's hands, pulled for a
moment and lost their hold. The body
fell back into the mud.
The rescuer's own breath was fall
ing. He raised his head out OF the
manhole long enough to fill his lungs
with air, and dropped again.
Again he strugg! with his burden
to the tank and raised it to the open
ing overhead. This time the crowd
drew the body out. Choking with gas,
Combs clung desperately to the rim
Of the manhole until the crowd drew
him up into the open air.
Two hours later, when he rocever-
ed consciousness, some one asked Mr.
Combs why he had risked his life to
save his enemy.
"I hated to see such a; good fighter
| choke to DEATH" he said.

USEFUL SPIDER THREADS.
The Tiny Strand Used by Science In
Instruments of Precision.

The cultivation Of certain species
Of spiders solely for the fine threads
which they weave for seientifc fc uses
has an important bearing upon astron-
omy, the oldest physical science, says
Answers. No substitute for the spdd-
er's thread has yet been found for
bisceting the screw Of the micrometer
used for determining the positions
and motions Of the stars. Not only
because of the remarkable finness
of the threads are they valuable, but
because of their durable qualities.
The threads Of certain spiders rais-
ed for astronomical purposes with
stand changes in temperature, so that
often in measuring sun spots they are
injured when the heat is so great that
the lenses Of the micrometer eye
piece are cracked. .
These spider lines are only one
fifth to one-seventL Of thousandth
Of an inch in diameter, compared with
which the threads Of the silkworm are
large an clumsy. Each line is made
up of several thousands Of mieroscop-
ic streams Of fluid. Under the most
powerful magnifying glass they 'ap-
pear true and round. The work OF
placing these lines in the micrometer
requires the delicate touch Of the ex-
perts who operate with the aid Of
micro scopes which magnify the line
a thousand times. The lines are plac-
