BOY SEEMS UNDER BAN.
Blind, Deaf and Dumb, No Institution
Opens Its Doors to Him.

Bellefontaine, O.-The disposition
that is to be made with Wilbur Rey-
nolds, age seven years, who cannot
see, hear, or speak, now rests with
Gov. Harris.
Neither the Logan county infirmary
nor the children's home has accom-
modations for the almost helpless
child. He was sent to the blind asy-
lum by Probate Judge Plum of Lo-
gan county some time ago, but the
superintendent there said he could
not keep the child because he was
also deaf and dumb. Then he was
transferred to the deaf and dumb asy-
lum, but now the superintendent
there says he has notified the Logan
county officers that the child cannot
remain there because they have fail
ed to make any progress with him,
and he thinks the boy is not mentally
competent.
When application was made for the
admission of the unfortunate boy to
the imbecile asylum the superintend-
ent of that institution said he would
not take him because his institution
was crowded. He refused to accept
the charge from the Logan county Of
ficials.
Now the matter has been laid be-
fore the governor to see in what in
stitution he thinks the boy belongs.
In the meantime the child is at the
deaf and dumb asylum, but the su-
perintendent insists that he will have
to be removed from there.

CATTLE RAISING IN MEXICO.
II Has Become Leading Industry IN
Last Few Years.

San Antonio, Tex.-Mexico is buy
Ing more well-bred breeding cattle
than any six states in the union. This
Is the claim made by breeders of good
beef stock
From the most miserable specimens
of range cattle to the finest grades on
the continent is the record of the Diaz
republic in the last ten years.
The cattle-raising industry in the
republic is now one of the principal
sources of prosperity there. The large
ranch of Don Louis Terrazas and his
son-in-law, Enrique C. Creel, the new
ambassador to the United States,
which covers many thousands of acres
In Chihuahua, is one of the best
stocked cattle ranges in the world.
This ranch has more than thou
sand Hereford bulls that are of the
blood royal. But there are many other
ranches in various parts of the repub-
lie where cattle of the best quality
have replaced the scrubs of few
years ago.
The dairy-cattle industry is also be-
ing pushed to the front in the repub-
lie, and all along the line the breed of
live stock is being bettered This is
due in chief to the great number of
progressive American cattlemen who
have removed to the republic to en-
gage in cattle raising. Their lead has
proven profitable to the Mexican
ranch owners.
At the recent San Antonio interna-
tional fair a Mexican ranch owner
made an Ordar for 5O0 rni1ac of wira
fence for his sheep pasture.

"Bad for the Coo"

A railway accident, as novel as it
was in it's way sensational, is reported
from Dunkirk, Scotland. A herd OF
"a horses and 81 donkeys and mules.
tethered for the night on some open
ground near the station, were so ter.
rified by storm that they broke loose
and stampeded down the line. Into
the dense mass of galloping animals a
fast train from Calais dashed at high
speed, killing 20 horses and seven
of the other beasts. of which the car
casses were horribly mangled. The
slaughter forced the train to slow
down, and it was impossible to get
up steam again, as the remnants of
the herd trotted calmly back in front
to Dunkirk. The owner of the ami
mails was one of the passengers.

FARMERS STOP WoRkMEN.
With Pitchforks and Guns They Hold
Up Work on Transmission Line.

Lockport, N. Y.-A gang of farmers,
armed with pitchforks and guns, held
up work on the transmission line of
the Niagara, Lockport & Ontario Pow
er company, near here, while work
men were engaged in building fences
to separate the transmission line prop
erty from the farm lands The farm
ers declare that they gave the COM
pany deeds to a strip of land 200 feet
wide, but the company is endeavoring
to steal more land by placing the
fences on the farm lands regardless
of the dividing lands
The farmers held that they could
not get satisfaction by peaceful meth
DDS, and accordingly organized at a
farm house and drove to the scene of
operations in a hay wagon. Lining
themselves up across the transmission
line, they ordered the workmen to
quit, at the same time leveling their
guns and holding the forks in a threat
ening attitude. The workmen sneered
at the farmers and continued opera
tions. Then a battle started Guns
were fired, and the workingmen, be-
coming frightened, ran away. No one
was hurt The differ lences will be set
tied by a consultation between the
company and the farmers.

Feet of the Tonqulnese.

So peculiar is the formation of the
feet that night and day the Tonquin-
ese can run with perfect security over
most dangerously rough and smooth
places. From a narrow heel the feet
broaden remarkably toward the toes,
of which the great one is so separated
from the others as to form with them
a wide angle. And from the toes grow
nails that can be fixed in the ground
like hooks. This popularity in the
feet Of the natives of Tonquin has OBJ
tained for them among the Chinese
the name Cao-Ci-the people with the
crooked tces.-Rosary Magazine.

Catching Whales in st. Lawrence.

TIE ST. Lawrence river whale fish
ing industry is now running full blast
In the vicinity of Seven Islands. 1t
seems that the company engaged in
this work is now taking on an aver
age a whale every day. There are SO
many of these animals in the gulf
that those engagsl in the industry are
able to select one out of the many
which are seen disporting themselves
In the water. They are quickly dis
patched by lance which is fired
into them out of gun on board the
fishing steamer, and to the lance is
affixed a bomb which explodes inside
the whale after entering its body.
Some are so feet long and weigh as
much as 120 tons. One whale will
often yield SO or 60 barrels OF OIL
and a large quantity of whalebone.
which is worth $500 ton.
