1t is well.known fact that the love
OF his native hunting grounds is as
strong in the breast of the Seminole
as is the love of his native State to
the Floridian.
This was well illustrated by an
incident at TT. Myers during the In.

In the captured party was a chief
who declared that he would never
leave his beloved State alive. He
was kept closely guarded, however,
and was allowed to reach no weapon,
as it was believed that he might com.

He had secured a bottle, and crushing
the glass, had swallowed, the par

walk from the prison to the wharf
caused the glass to cut him internally

Herbert G. Russ From Baptist
Church and Parsonage Parson

Trouble which has been rife in the Col

reached stormy climax last Wednesday
evening. A business meeting had been
announced to take place at the church
at that time and when members arrived
they found the doors locked and their
entrance prevented. A delegation went
to the door Of the parsonage adjoining
and demanded admission to the church,
but we're refused by the pastor, Rev. H.
q. Buss. Violent discussion followed,
during the progress of which MIR. Buss
called to bis wife to bring gun. This
she did. taking hand in the affair by
hitting K. Davidson, church trustee, on
the back with the weapon and demand
ing that he repeat an uncOmplimentary
remark which be had directed at her hus
band. This Mr.. Davidson refused to do,
as, upon turning around he found the
gun pointed directly toward his face
Mrs. Buss then entered the parsonage,
where she was disarmed by an officer

Services at the Court House.

Decoration Day was observed in Colfax
practically everybody taking hand in
some form The banks remained closed
the entire day and the business houses
Tor several hours while graves in the
cemetery were being decorated with
flowers. The G. A. r and the Woman's
Relief Corps marched from Fraternity
block in body, and at Mill and Canyon
streets took carriages for the cemetery
Here they were joined by scores OF citi,
zens, most Of them bringing flowers to
decorate the graves of the dear departed
Probably on no previous occasion were
the decorations more prOfuse. With the
graybeards who now fill the ranks of the
q. A. r. no distinction was made in strew-
ing flowers. They could exclaim with
the poet:
Under the sod and the dew,
Where sleep our heroes today
Garland the graves of the blue,
Wreath with garlands the graves of the gray
Decoration Day, since it's tirst intro
duction in 1868, has broadened it's lines,
now meaning that all graves can and
should be decorated, not wholly confined
to those of soldiers This is as il should
be. While the graves of the patriot dead
should not be neglected, other graves ap-
peal to the hearts OF men, for who has
not at some period laid to rest beloved
ones, whose memory can never fade and
whose graves should he kept beautiful
In this custom large numbers partici-
pated, and when all was done the ceme-
terry presented wealth OF flowers that
will not fade for many days.

Milan Still Gets Patent for Gravity
Pump Natures Method.

Milan Still Gets Patent for Gravity
Pump--Uses Natures Method.
Milan Still, who owns fine farm on
Rock creek, but whose postoffice address
is WinOna, was in Colfax over Sunday.
MIR. Still has been working eight years
on a gravity pump, in which flexible
tubes are used to expel the water at the
delivery or exit locality. 1t is operated
without valves or pistons, and will
throw two or more continuous streams
OF water. He claims to use natures
method in pumping water. Mr.. Still
applied for patent, and recently came
from Washington, d. c., where he went
to look after the matter. The patent
was issued May 18, so we may expect to
see and hear more of the gravity pump
in the near future.
1t is his intention to have a model on
exhibition at the Irrigation Congress in
Spokane in August, and possibly one
will be placed on exhibition at the
Alaska YukOn-Pacitic Exposition. The
pump can be used in a stream, or can be
sunk in the ground, occupying a space
not less than four feet square and ex-
tended to any circumference desired ex-
pelling the water in several streams,
although the patent calls for two or
more. This, like all other inventions.

evolved the system.

Senior Class Play.

On Friday evening the senior class play
"Hello, Bill" was presented to a crowded
house. The play was clever in construc
tion, and was handled with ability by
the members of the class of 'O9 who made
up the cast. Prof Claire Ockerman was
director and his company was truly an
all-star one, the audience being kept in
an uproar of laughter by the many anus
ing situations.

HOW BEES FIND THEIR WAY.
French Naturalist Is Of Opinion They
Have q Distinctive Sense Like
That Of the Pigeon.

How are bees to find their way
home after their long forays after
honey? CASTOR BONNER of Paris has
been studying their directive sense.
which he thinks is like that possessed
by pigeons Bees can fly for two miles
from the hive and are able to return
after gathering their supply OF honey.
Langstroth and others suppose that
vision comes into play and that bees
can see for a great distance and can
also note objects on the way so as to
find their path Others, with Dadant
suppose that the bees are guided by
the sense of smell. and that they can
smell flowers at distances OF one and
a half miles. NJ BONNER has made
experiments TO prove that bees can
return to the hive without using either
sight or odor. As to sight. he took
bees to a distance OF one and two
tenths miles from the hive, in a closed
box. They always few back to the
hive when released. The same is true
when their eyes were covered, so that
sight was not essential.
AS regards odor. experiments seem
10 prove that bees perceive odors
at only short distances. When
needle dipped in ether is brought near
the head OF the bee, II shows signs of
perceiving the odor, but not so when
the needle is placed back of him or
near other organs. Besides, when the
organs OF smell (antennae) are re-
moved entirely, the bees will return
to the hive. M. BONNER made the fol
lowing experiment: At 600 feet from
the hive he placed supply of strip,
and the bees soon found 1t, proceed.
Ing to and fro to the hive. Such bees
he marked with green-colored powder
He then placed a second supply of
strip at the same distance from the
tive. but spaced at 20 feet from the
former.
Other bees were now engaged In the
to and fro movements to this point,
but these were not the same individu-
ais as the green-marked ones, who
were still working on the first supply.
and he marked these In red This
gave two distict sets of bees, able to
distinguish two directions which
formed a very acute angle. These
facts NJ. BONNER believes indicate a
special directive sense which does not
reside In the antennae, but probably
In the cerebroid ganglia.
