| Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Feb. 11-From Baxter comes
the story of most heroic act of a
former Story county girl. The heroine
| is the daughter of Harry Hazlett, of the
New Era, and is q young lady yet at
tending the public schools. One day
re- ~.when Miss Wadema Hazlett
was down the street OH her
way toSs. and was near the rail-
way track, she noticed little 6-year-old
Nellie Hildreth standing on the mid
die of the track. while bearing down
upon her was swiftly running Great
Western freight. The child was stand
ing as if spellbound and apparently
unconscious of the impending danger.
With rare presence of mind the
young lady, with a dash, grabbed the
chill and pulled it from the track just
as the freight went roaring by. Ely
Doing this she placed her own life in
imminent danger, as her fluttering gar
ments were brushed by the flying iron
steed as it numbered by her, and its
hot breath of steam engulfed the girl
and the child that she had saved from
sure death.
The friends of Miss HALE. are very
proud of her bravery, and it Il thought
that the matter will be called to the
Carnegie medal commission. In his
paper dad" Hazlett makes only a
brief mention Of the act but frankly

The Hazlett family lived for many
years at Collins, and the young lady is

His Pet Elk Killed Him.

Travellers passing along the highway one mile south of Fayette, Mo, may see lonely tombstone in grove of trees near the road. It rests above the solitary grave of a man who met a pe- culiar death many years ago.
 Tn 1856 H. B. Watts, an early settler, owned beautiful park of 20 acres near Fayette. In this preserve he kept four buffaloes, five elk and 50 deer. One of the elk, known as Jim, was pet The young children often rode on his back and he was supposed to be harmless
 MT. Watts and his family prepared to attend Methodist camp meeting one September morning. When they came from the house to enter carriage they heard disturbance in the park. Mir Watts entered the enclosure and found two of the elk fighting. One of the combatants was Jim. When he tried to separate the infuriated animals he was attacked by the pet and killed. It is said that a few minutes afterward the animal seemed to be seized by re- morse. He retired to a distant corner of the park, where he raised himself on his hind legs with his fore feet on rail of the fence, uttering mean while a sound like the moaning of a human being The elk remained in this attitude until shot.

Many Uses for the Bison.

Preserving the bison on sentimental ground is sufficient reason for the more intelligent of our people. but sentiment tai ground is not at all sufficient in the average American mind. And it is therefore with wisdom that MT. Baynes has sought to extend the appeal which the bison has for many different kinds of people. For example, last summer he took up the question of buffalo wool, A small quantity was obtained just as 1t was shed by the animals, was card ed at factory and later spun and knitted into gloves which proved very warm and, so far as could be judged from a few months wear, durable as well. Samples of this wool and yarn who all agree that the wool is of a very good quality, that for while it would demand a high price as nov city and later very good price for general utility purposes where light colors are not required. Other men MT. Baynes has found who are inter- ested in the bison as a beef animal, and still others who are inclined to give ear to the voice of the society because they believe that by crossing the bisons with certain breeds of do- nestle cattle a valuable new breed may in time be evolved. Indeed, Some rather conservative scientific men have expressed the opinion that bison farms would prove profitable in any of the states included in the animals former range.-Outing.

A Whistler story.

Apropos of something, Whistler once told a cock fight story so vividly that only a man with sailor instinct could tell it as we'll, mimic it so keenly, and enjoy it so thoroughly. It was story of a strange species of the American cock, pictured to the smallest detail so beautifully that one forgot that it was story.
 Some American sailors were at a cock-fght in seaport town in Eng land, when one of them remarked to the owner of the champion
 We have got an American cock on board that can whip any bird here"
 Go fetch i'm on" said the cham pion, chuck i'm in and see. If e licks one bird, we ave plenty more to throw in that can lick hany blawsted Hameri- can bird you can fetch CT"
 All right; we'll bring one, said the sailors. When they got aboard they rigged up an American eagle. After their own manner they painted, trim med, spliced and reefed fore and aft, transforming the eagle to q cock. When ready they went ashore to pit l their new American game-cock against all England.
 At the pit the sailors chucked in their cock, which looked around for other surprises as he backed. close to the wall.
 Now bring on your birds" yelled thn A cfr ac thrown into the pit, and was another surprise to the poor dismantled eagle. , He backed up closer and closer to the wall, wondering what would happen next The cock walked three times majestically around tue circle cuffing at his strange opponent, the eagle pitiably abashed and be1rabbled, crouching lower and lower, and look ing around and above Him for an ex- planation of what 1t all meant, while the crowd were yelling madly for the English fighter The eagle made him- self smaller and smaller. but at last, :, finding that he could get back no farther, and thinking that something was expected of him, and, as the cock dashed at him again, stretching out his long claws and took his opponent by the neck.
 Here Whistler ended, with an imita- ton by motions of what the eagle did. He stretched out his arms, shaped his hand like a claw, which, by this time looked like real one, drew it to his mouth, and, with one bite, pulled off the head, as he thought an eagle might I do 1t. Then he looked blandly about the room, as the eagle had done at the astonishe3 crowd and said. "Now bring on your other birds. ."-Century | Magazine.

Virtues of Newspapers.

The American newspaper has been the worthy subject of eulogy by an en- frightened solicitor for advertising. He says, in effect, that the New York newspaper has enormously improved. and that what has been called sensa- tionalism has almost disappeared. Not to dwell upon any topic that may excite unpleasant or regretful contemplation, it may be well to say that all news paper men, and many intelligent lay men, have long been conscious that the New York newspapers have long been rising to the intellectual and spiritual heights which many provincial news papers, and newspapers of other cities, have long been conscious of occupying.
 As a matter of fact, the newspapers of this country, with some exceptions, of counsellor it is inevitable that some editors and publishers are no better than they should behave always been better than the politicians. Another fact Is that almost, if not quite, all our gains for local government are duo to the press. The same may be said of the influence of the press in securing good government for the country at large; while MT. Godxin, who was war correspondent in his younger days, used to say that the most noteworthy result of the Crimean war was the modern war correspondent. The critic of events, the exposer of wrong and sham and of the bad treatment of sol diers, the discloser of the incapacity of leaders of armies, the describer of wars horrors-this was the war correspon- dent.
 And what of the newspapers expo sition of political offenders? All this has lain in the back of the heads of the men who have made newspapers. But there have been concessions by news-g -gatherers to what they have re- garded as the public taste, and those who try to play down to the crowd al- most always get below it's level. The episode seems to have passed, according to the Illuminating advertising gentle man; but there was once time when the news-gather was very contemptu- ous of the editorial page. There was once a managing editor of a New York newspaper who was so success ful in the management of his job that he expected to succeed the editor-in- chief, who was one of the foremost of his class. And when I do succeed, he used to say, "the first thing I'll do will be to kill the editorial page" We'll, he did at last succeed, and the editorial page is liyelier than ever,

WONDERS OF THE DEEP.
Old Sea Captain Talks of Pet Whales,
 Turtles and Big SquId.

Yes" said Captain Tripp to the Ad- vertiser man the other day, who had informed him of the presence of a school of whales off shore, "the sea is full of wonders.
 Those whales were probably hump backs They are frequently seen off the islands at this season of the year.
 What do whales live on? Why, whale food of course. Some call it brit and some snowflake It's noth- ing more or less than a floating mass of minute insect life. Whales are crazy after it and lie still on the surface, letting the current carry the whale food right into their cavernous jaws.
 They like squid, too. When I was on the Atlantic, in 1858, in a whaler I saw chuck of squid half as big as a trolley car. We tried to tow it, but 1t was too soft. If we had succeeded the whales round about would never have left the ship.
 Its surprising how big some squid grow. Up off the Iceland coast one time codfshing outfit struck on what they thought was a shoal When the object began to move away with the boat on its back 1t was seen that the craft had stranded on an immense squtd. Yes, sir.
 Talking about whales, old Captain Merchant of the steamer Kilauea-' Fly ing Merchant they called him-used to brag of having pet whale off Hawaii which would watch for his vessel every trip and bob up and out of the water when he whistled for it. He didn't have any pet whale, of course What old Merchant did was to keep sharp lookout for whale spouting and when he saw one have the whistle blown. Presently the whale would come to the surface again and the captain would tell the passengers that 1t had answer ed his whistle.
 Almost past human belief are won ders of the deep. Take the turtles of the Carolines, for instance. The na- tives wouldn't think of killing them. and in consequence they become re- markedly tame. And intelligent! Why. when the missionary packet visits the island the turtles make bridge of their bodies and along it the sky pilots go dry foot from the vessel to the shore. re."-Honolulu Commercial Adyer- tiser,

pR. cRApsEY,s NEW IDEA.
Brotherhood of Man Movement Started
 in Rochester.

That the expulsion of Dr. Crapsey from the church to which he had given his best years did not in the least mean the abandonment of the work to which he has devoted his life, has been con clusively shown by the movement which for the sake of breyity might be called the 'Broterhood Movement" It is a movement which has attracted much attention in other cities, more perhaps than in Rochester. Already it gives promise of great success. Wheth- CT this promise will be fulfilled is matter of the future. It not only de- serves success, but has grounds on which it can make broad appeal to men of every kind and creed
 in outlining 1t, is not one of particular
 The movement, as Dr. Crapsey said lar creed or religion, but is based on the broad principles of the Brother hood of all men and the Fatherhood or God. It is a movement in which fol- lowers of all creeds can join together. It is also a noticeable fact in the re- cent development of religious thought, that the leading men of all churches are turning more and more towards the general principles on which Dr. Crap sey has based his new movement--that there is one God, who is the Father of all men, and that all men, from the fact of this one Fatherhood, are bound together into one great Broth erhood, irrespective of creeds or re- ligious dogmas.
 The movement inaugurated by Dr. Crapsey has for it's object the follow ing into practical, everyday life of the creed of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. He and those who are with him in is work do not care for creeds or catechisms. Their aim Is to help men and woen who are in need of assistance This, in fact, is the creed of the new movement. To this end of the services of nurses and physicians have been enlisted, money, clothes and provisions are being col' lected, and an effort is being made to seek out human sufferings and succol it.
 The Brotherhood movement has started in the city of Rochester, but it is based on fundamental principles of right and there is no telling how far 1t may spread Nineteen hundred years ago another similar movement, based on the general Brotherhood of Men and the Fatherhood of one God, started in a little village in Judea. The founder of the movement died on the cross. But the movement which he started spread until it dominated the great Roman Empire, controlled the barbarian cons querors of Rome and finally was bowed down to by the entire civilized world Rochester Evening Times.

SPRINGFIELD TO-DAY.
NOlte to Twirl for New Haven
 Whalers Tomorrow.

Whaiers TO-m0rrOw.
 Springfield will be the attraction at the Savin Rock grounds this afternoon and, according to the interchange of games lost and won by the Brownies, New Haven will win the game.
 Springfield trimmed us Saturday by the score of to and revenge is forth coming. Nolte will probably be on the firing line, but it would not be a sur prise if Captain Hayward appointed West the twirler for this specific occa- sion. West, has pitched about all the games at the Prairie this season, and 8 change ge-unexpected- might have a bad result. West has been doing by far the best box work this year, Corcoran has not yet regained his old form. but we are expecting it every day. Mahoney is rather erratic-not in batting, for any timely hitting by this star would affect the fans to such a degree that they might need a physicians aid-but in fielding, sensational catches at one moment and poor Judgment of flies at other times. Sherwood is playing well at short, although the ball acquires a little too great velocity at times, caused by his strong right.
 New London will arrive tomorrow, opportunely for New Haven. It is a shame we must trounce them, but then, It's all in the game.
