Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 31.-Win-
field 7. Durbin, governor of Indiana
from 1901 to 1905, made the sensa-
tional statement last night that soon
after his Inauguration as governor
attempts were made to bride him to
turn over William A. Taylor, Ken
tucky's refugee governor, to the au-
thoritles of that state for trial on
the charge Of conspiracy to assassi-
nate Senator Goebel.
The sum offered ex-Gov. Durbin.
according to bis own statement, was
$4,000 in cash.
Mr.. Durbin said that Taylor had
been advised Of the attempted brib-
cry after It was made. and was cog
infant OF all that had transplred at
the meeting at which the $4,000
was offered.
Durbin Invited To Conference.
EX-Gov. Durbin said the. first ef-
forts to bribe him came in the shape
of invitations to meet certain gen.

connection of Taylor with the Goebe,

HOW WHALES
ARE CAPTURED
Only Enduring Record to Be shown
at Howe's Entertainment
This Evening.

Whaling has almost ceased to have
place in our national industries.
Its implements are memorials of an
almost extinct calling. The glory of
the whale hunt is almost gone. The
only enduring record will be repro
duced by Lyman H. Howe in Clarks-
bury at the Grand opera house to-
night. Though its ships-and its
men-have passed away, and its his
tory left unwritten, they are surviv-
ed in one fthe most absorbing SER
les of moving pictures ever secured
1t shows splendidly the dangers of
the lives of those who go down to
the sea in ships" The series also
shows the equipment and tactics of
whalers, the sighting, approach. har-
pooning, and then the battle royal
with te monster rolling and thrash
ing around convulsively. The con-
Guiding part shows the great shud-
hering carcass on shore and then its
preparation for the market. The
agility and ingenuity shown by the
whalers in the uneven struggle is no
less remarkable than that displayed
by the matadors in another picture
that is equally thrilling in Mr..
Howe's new program. This is a
startling picture of dangerous but
bloodless bull fight. Still another
feature, though different in kind but
no less daring, is the climbing of the
Dolomites in Italy, Scenes OF typ
zeal Irish scenery. city and peasant
life and industries afford fine nature
and character studies of old-world
life transported to the new for the
delight of the legion or admirers of
Mr.. Howe's always unique exhibition.

The Way Hunters Capture fhe oran<
Ontang Alive.

AHe why nuhtefh capture the OrnnS
Outang Alive.
Trapping the smaller members of the
monkey family is comparatively easy
matter, but the hunter who wishes to
secure live specimens of the orang
outang cannot have recourse to the
usual methods and has to employ a
labcrious process. The process is based
upon the fact that the orangs have
liking for certain trees and frequent
these to the exclusion Of other nearby
growths. They seem to regard them
as sanctuary and flee to them in time
Of danger. Ascertaining tree partic-
ularly favored, the hunter first drives
his quarry to its branches; then while
his beaters keep up din for the pur-
pose of preventing an attempt at es-
cape the natives are set to work TO
chop at the trees within u radius OF
fifty feet all about the simian fortress.
No trunk is cut completely through.
but is left with just enough fiber to
hold the tree in position. This work Is
quickly accomplished with the large
corps Of servants, and ut signal one
Of the trees is toppled over The chop
ping has been so done that the falling
tree carries with It its neighbor. and in
the twinkllng of an eye the trees with
in radius Of fifty feet from the mark
ed tree lie upon the ground leaving
the ornng outangs with no opportunity
for getting away through their leafy
avenues Of escape. The remainder of
the process simply consists OF chopping
down the tree OF refuge and throwing
nets over the escaping orangs, in which
they soon become entangled in their
efforts to throw off the incumbrance.

Parrot pie is one of the dellcacies
over which visitors to Australia rave.
As the fruit season opens the parrots
and parrakeets come by thousands, like
locusts. and, settling on the trees, feed
upon the fruit until nothing but the
stones is left behind. They are shot
while gorging themselves, The flesh,
though very dark, is said to be deli
cious in favor and almost to taste of
the cherries, peaches and plums on
which the birds have fed. They are
said to be more succulent than pigeons
and altogether superior 10 the palate.
