bring them down, and only the best
shots are successful.
And Other Rare Beasts.
In this rare hunting ground the
American party will find three species
of the hartebeest, the oryx, the sable
antelope, the roam antelope, the
oribi, the lesser reedbuck, the water
buck, the steinbuck, the eland, tho
greater and lesser kudu, the gnu and
the bushbuck. All these species Of
antelopes have keenIy developed
escaping faculties. Warthogs. jack
ais, hyenas, together with a host OF
cranes, bustards and other feathered
varieties, all help swell the population
of the animal kingdom in this region.
To Treetops for Safety.
No hunters can ever be said to have
enjoyed all the experiences OF the
African jungle without an adventure
with wild dogs, which roam in packs
and are the dread of the natives. The
cry of these animals is not unlike that
of leopards or smaller game. and once
heard the natives fly to the tops OF
trees. These mongrel dogs have low
bodies, covered with thick, bushy hair.
A hunter wounding a wild dog must,
according to the ethics of the chase
pursue and kill the wounded canine.

STRIKE END IN SIGHT.
All Parties Claim Victory in the
French Disturbance.

Paris, March 22.-In spite of minor
delays the adjustment of the strike of
the French telegraphers and postmen
that has disorganized the business life
of France for week or more is con-
sidered virtually in sight. Fully 1000
employees returned to work this morn
ing.
A meeting attended by 5000 strik-
ers was held this morning when it
strike committee in the matter of a set
tlement constituted a surrender to the
government because the resignation of
NJ Simyan, under secretary of posts
and Telegraphs, has not been secured.
Consequently, another committee was
appointed to see Premier Clemceau
this afternoon. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the strikers will emerge vic
torious and that the government has
saved its dignity in refusing to oust
NJ Simyan This official however, al
ready has been practically eliminated.
He had no share in the recent nego-
tiations and in the future Minister of
Public Works Barthou will treat di-
rectly with deputations from the en-
ployes associations. Furthermore, the
government agrees to regard the
whole affair as a "wave of folly and
to wipe the indiscretions off the slate;
in other words, to punish no one.
The newspapers of Paris are re-
viewing the strike movement as if it
was over. The socialist papers claim
a victory; the government organs are
gratified at the end of an unfortunate
misunderstanding while the indepen-
dent Conservative press says the in
cident furnishes an eloquent lesson of
the dangerous state of socialism to-
wards which France is drifting.

new GRACE CATHEDRAL.
Work On Its Constructor Will Begin
in the Fall.

According TO present plans work on the
erection of the proposed new Grace Cathe-
dral of the Episcopal church will be
commenced early in the coming fall. An
announcement to this effect was made by
Dean Kaye to his congregation during
the services Sunday. The sale of the
five lots east of the Capper building on
Eighth avenue to Frank P. MacLennan
the other day. added $4,000 to the Cathe-
dral fund, bringing the total amount
available up to $4,000 The cost of the
cathedral will be about $4,000.
Dean Kaye stated to a reporter for the
State Journal today that he intends to
go to work Immediately to raise the re-
manning s2S0oO needed for the erection of
the cathedral and he is confident that
before this week is ended he will have
the entire $4,000 on hand subscribed.
All the funds will be raised before any
work is begun on the edifice as it is de-
sired to have the cathedral entirely free
from debt when it is completed.
The cathedral will be erected on the
space at the corner of Eighth and Polk
streets. which is included in the Bethany
College grounds This space at present
is occupied by a small grove of trees most
of which will have to be removed to per
init of the construction of the cathedral.
The structure will probably be built of
sandstone from Bedford. Indiana the
same kind of stone that used in the
city library building.

Aid for the
Economical

A BARGAIN is no better than
= the store behind the bargain.
The housewife who buys good
eatables and wishes to keep the
grocery bill at the minimum finds
this store a big help-a store to
be depended upon.
None but eatables worth buy
ing are ever sold in this store,
yet our prices mean a 10 per cent
saving at the least. For instance,
Fraser Bros. Special Coffee at 25c
a pound. Every grocery store has
a 25c coffee, but we pay as much
for this special blend as any store
ever pays for 30c grade.
CRANULATED sugar is another
~ Staple. In this store at all
times you can get a 20 pounds of
the best granulated sugar for
your dollar. On orders for $500
worth of groceries you get 25
pounds for $1.00.
Back of all that is a clean, up
to-date store, and satisfactory
service.

Ed Hopkins of Buchanan and Nor
ris street, a negro, was yesterday re-
ported to Humane officer Kflmaurs
King for extreme cruelty to animals bv
H. E. Gaines of 1913 West Laurent
street.
The negro had a horse attached to
a plow and was working the animal
in his yard when the dumb brute was
in a pitiable condition. Its left fore
leg had been injured some time ago
and was slightly bent To attempt to
straighten the limb, the black man
had bolted an iron bar to the front of
tened a piece of stout oak perpen-
dicularly and bound it fast to the
horses injured knee. The knee had
rubbed against the wood until the hide
had been worn off, leaving the flesh
exposed in a running sore.
When Mr.. King saw the animaPs
condition he notified DR.. J. o. Young
veterinarian. This morning the
men examined the animal and DR.
Young condemned it. Mr.. King or
dered it to be shot.
Hopkins told Mr.. King that he had
purchased the horse from one of the
dixie laborers for a shot gun and an
old watch and wanted to trade back
again. King replied that he couldn't
do any such a thing and that he
would be liable to arrest for cruelty to
animals
The Hopkins home is not inviting.
In the yard were three dogs two of
them loose, and another a big savage
looking beast was chained. This brute
tore savagely at this chain this morn
ing and barked furiously at Mr. King
and the horse doctor as they entered
the yard.
