that the fumes Of the ammonia did not
attract his attention. Too late be dis
covered his mistake, and Mrs. schell
ran to his assistance. She administered
beaten eggs until Drs. Verret and
Plourde arrived and afforded relief. At
the present time Mr.. Schell is compare
lively free from pain, but he cannot
speak above whisper and it is feared
that his vocal chords and bronchial
tubes are affected, whether permanently
or not is yet to be determined. Mr..
Schell expected to attend the general
assembly Of the Presbyterian church at
Kansas City, Mo. II able he will start
on his southern trip next week. Mr..
Schell formerly resided at Drayton.
It has been a rainy week. Sunday
night there were heavy showers and
Tuesday there came cold wave with
rain and Wednesday and Thursday
were also rainy. Here the government
instruments show about an inch and a
half Of rain for the week. From Joli-
cite southwark the rain of Sunday
night was far heavier. Little farm work
has been done in consequence, but
almost all of the ground ready had been
seeded by last Saturday. In the. eastern
part of the county is large amount of
land yet to be plowed and seeded to
barley and fax. While the rain will
stop operations for some days there is
still plenty of time. Meantime the
weeds are sprouting and growing in fine
shape to be killed by the late blowing.
All sorts of vegetation, including the
early sown grain and grass, has been
making phenomenal growth for the last
ten days. Lots of wheat fields are from
three to SIX inches high already. A
dash of snow fell with the rain on Sun
day night and was to be seen in shell
tered spots on Monday morning, but the
thermometer did not go to the freezing
paint.

Dennis is the pig. He's in bad way
and the men want the captain to come
out and see if anything can be done
for him. answered the orderly. Evans
spent the rest of the night feeding the
mascot with condensed milk with a
spoon. The men never forgot it.
Fighting Bob does not lose his de-
termination and firmness when off tina
sea. His mother in an endeavor to get
him to side with the confederacy at
the beginning of the civil war, sent
his resignation to the navy depart
ment. When Bob learned of this he
had himself reinstated.
Both of his legs were shot much to
pieces at Fort Fisher and the surg cons
at the Norfolk hospital came in to am
putate them. Evans pulled a revolver
from under his pillow and remarked
quietly: Il feel perfectly sure that l
can kill six persons with this gun and
the first person to enter the room with
a case of instruments will get the first
shot,
Evans is as diplomatic as he is
brave. He plays cards and drinks
whisky because he could not afford
not to do So His suavity has won
him the friendship of Emperor Will
liam, the empress of China and the
mikado. President Cleveland and
Evans frequently shot ducks together
honored him with their friendship.

Evans in safely conducting the Allan
tic fleet to the Pacific will remain as
the climax of the life of one of the
the quarter deck of d man-o'-War. Few
commanders have ever been so we'll
sorrow today in the hearts of all of
Uncle Sans tars.
Fighting Bob describes Rear Ad
miraI Robley D. Evans to "a dot. He
won the right to this title in his first
naval engagement" He was sailing
a boat in a public school yard in
Washington, when a bigger boy
smashed it with a rock. Evans
smashed the boy with another The big
boy was carried home on a door. AL
though the engagement resulted in
victory for Evans, it marked the close
of his public school career. He has
been fighting ever since, and when
ever there was nothing more warlike
on the horizon he tackled the general
naval board.
Evans was sent to Valparaiso. Chill,
with the Yorktown in 1891. The hos
tile Chilians developed a new game of
cruising about the American vessel
with their torpedo boats, seeing how
near they could come to it without
scraping it. Although nine Gillian
tain Bob, fighting mad, told the officer
in charge of the torpedo boats that if
one should hit the Yorktown he would
blow the bottom out of it.
The officer replied that the water in
the harbor belonged to Chilli.
The Yorktown and the paint on her
belongs to the United States sir" re-
torted Evans, land if either is defaced

nothing come of it and I am not sur
prised that he has made his getaway
The only thing that did surprise me i;
that anyone should pay any attention
to his story at ALL He never intended
to bring the boy back, he was simply
working for some money and chance
to get loose
"Breen is one of the smoothest an6
accomplished liars that ever lived,
said Patrolman Dug" McCauley, who
was a guard in the .jute mill wher
Breen worked there, serving his firs'
sentence in the penitentiary. He was
surely one of the smoothest men L ever
had to deal with and that he has bun
coed people here does not surprise
me much.'
Willing to Bet.
Wilbur Kirkman, of the Motter-
Wheeler Co, cells of an interesting
talk with Breen, who recently pur-
chased suit of clothes from him.
'Breen practically convinced me Of
his sincerity" said Mr.. KirlSman today
His story was so earnestly told that
it would be almost impossible not to
believe him. He offered to bet all the
money he had that he would bring the
bov back, and while he might have
been bluffing, he did not so impress me
He told me that it was a 'cinch' ano
that if 1 got any chance to put up any
money on him making good to do so. "
Will Recapture Breen.
That the strongest possible effort
will be made to recapture Breen goes
without saying. Although he is on pa
role. his legal status is unchanged
and he is just as much an escaped
convict" as if he had scaled the walls
of the penitentiary, according to Off
Gals at the state prison.
The mountains in which Breen is
believed to have made his getaway are
said to be an ideal hiding place for a
fugitive from justice, but in view OF
the great interest taken in the case,
there is believed to be little doubt that,
with the cooperation of the Oregon au-
thorities. Breen will be brought back
to Walla Walla to serve his sentence,
assuming, of course, that he does not
come in of his own accord with the
Britain boy or without him but with
a plausible story of his absence.

But there may have been many
things that delayed him. He may not
have been able to get back in as short
time with the boy as he thought We
feel now that we should have waited
all night for him, but we didn't, we
were SO sure then that he was fooling
us.
He told us there was a big scrap
about the reward among the people
from whom he was to get the boy. He
said he had to get some men to steal
him for us. If all that was true there
