How the Cows Escaped at eettysbur

How the Cows Escaped at Gettysburg.
 We had an old GOV that had been in the family for years. and the morn ing of the first day of the fight VIC had put her in pasture as usual. This pas ture was near the edge of town. Of course, we saw nothing of her during the three days of fighting Often one of us would say, T wonder what has become of the old cow" The general Opnion was that we had seen the last of her. On the morning of the fourth day, father. my brother and I took walk over the field to see if we could find any trace of her. We saw many terrible sights. Dead soldiers were ly- ing around thick, dead horses, and many COW skins and heads: from this last we soon came to the conclusion that our COW had been killed for food like the rest. so we gave her up. As we were eating supper one evening a week or more after the battle, we heard a familiar believing m the street Everybody sprang from the table and rushed out. There stood our dear old COW. looking as happy as it is possible for COW to look at being home again. We petted and hugged her in our pleasure at finding her alive, and soon had her in the stable in her own fa- miliar stall. Then we discovered that she had a bullet hole in her neck and one in her side. She was not severely hurt, however, and both bullets came out eventually. We found out later that all the cows in that particular field had got out in some way the first day of the fight and had wandered off about ten miles from town. beyond the firing line. After the battle they all found their way back to toWn-Al- bertus McCreary in the July McClure's.

WILLING PRISONER
 ESCAPED DETECTIVE
Henderson, Alias Marks and Harrison, Prefers to Leave Train at Benson Rather Than Return to Kansas.

Henderson, alias Harrison, alias Marks, the mucn- -wanIed forger, who was a trusty at the Yuma prison dur ing the last seven months of his term and who was arrested by B. :. Win chester, a detective from Kansas, i'm mediately upon his release. is again free man, at least temporarily. When in this city the prisoner manifested most willing disposition and said that he desired very much to return 10 Kansas and to square himself with those who had charges against him there. The good impression created by his willing line of talk stood him In good stead and to it he owes the lack of Watchfulness on the part of the or ficer which enabled him to escape.
 The detective left this city via the Southern Pacific Sunday with the pris- oner. who had consented to return to Kansas without eXtradition papers. They went east on the Golden State Limited and occupied a section in Pull man No. 4. When between Tucson and Benson the detective, who had such confidence in his prisoner, or such confidence in his own light sleeping, that he had failed to handcuff the prisoner to him in the usual manner, fell asleep. Marks had feigned sleep and as soon as the slumber of the de
 tective became sufficiently sound he made his preparations for a getaway. When the train was nearing Benson, Marks relieved Winchester of his hand cuffs, $40 in cash and his gold watch and then as the train slowed down he jumped off. Al Benson it was learned that the man had escaped and a thor ough search was made of the town, but it was unavailing. All of the neighbor- ing towns were teleSraphed and an effort will be made to get on ;he trail of the escaped man as soon as possible. It is probable that he will try to get across the Mexican border as soon as possible. However, with the Pinker- tons on his trail, it is most likely that his freedom will be shortlived and trat he will soon ride in q Pullman hand cuffed. the next time. to an officer.

THE SOUL KISS"
A STINGING SUCCESS

AS an illustration of what judicious
advertising and a suggestive name
can do toward Turing a full house to
greet an attraction, which is an at
, faction through no virtues as SUCH
last nights performance Of "The
Soul Kiss" at the Oregon theater
stands out conspicuously. While it is
elevating about a comic opera, cer-
tain wholesome flavor does not come
amiss, but the presentation last night
can lay no claim to that commend
able quality. In fact 1t was decid-
edly unsavory at times depicting as
it did the life of the sleepers in the
dawn, and sought to substitute re-
marks that wink at respectablity for
real wit and humor. Such vulgar
element may appeal to those whose
sensual nature is grossly accentuat-
ed, but to the great number of the
What they expect from a comic opera
is entertainment and that feature was
notceably lacking in the osculatory
effort last evening. True, the COM
pany possesses a very passable dane
er, but they paraded her abilities be-
fore the footlghts too often. Their
chief comedian was a Hebrew char
acter, the impersonation of which
was decidedly flat after having wit
messed Max Bloom in "The Sunny
Side of Broadway" And the chorus
girls were neither pretty nor grace
full, nor could they sing. and they
sought by paint and powder and alb
brevlation of dress to atone for their
deficiencies, which attempt was not
appreciated by the greater part of
the audience.
The staging of the piece was mis-
erably poor and but one setting, a
plain bare room, was used for the
nine scenes advertised, the same un-
adorned walls representing the gay
interior of a Partisan cafe and the |
roof of a New York skyscraper, and |
the sight of stage hands in the wigs |
did not add materially to the scenic |
effects. Such scenery as the COM
pdlly uotS GOilN was
boxed at the entrance of the stage |
door.
Taken as a whole. the much her
aided musical production with the
connotative title is about as huge a /
fake as was ever perpetrated on a
gullible public.
However. it is reported that last
night was the second performance of
the troupe, it having started out of
Spokane Wednesday. and If such is
true, from a generosity of spirit, let
us hope that, like some beverages, it
will improve with age But for the
sake of the theater patronage here
let us also hope that 1.-THE Soul Kiss"
and its kind will quietly pass us by
in the hereafter

WITNESSES FOR RYAN
TRIAL BEING SUMMONED

Sheriff Taylor and his deputies this
morning began resummonlng the wit
nesses in the Ryan murder case. This
is set for trial. New. 16 and the wit
nesses are being subpoened this far
ahead of time so that no delay will be
experienced on this account.
The same witnesses are being called
as were to testify in the case when 1t
was set for trial before.
As three days were consumed before
in vain endeavor to obtain a jury it
is probable that the first week of the
case will be entirely consumed this
time. 1t is expected that even more
difficulty will be encountered than be-
fore. 1t is probable that 1t will be
necessary to summon hundred ve-
niremen before IL men are secured
to try the case.

 DISH PAN HATS

St. Louis, May 17.-Attacking the new style in women's hats which, he
 said, resembled inverted coal scuttles, and upbraiding women and men for
 overzealous attention to dress, the Rev. T. T. Finan in Holy Angels Ro- man Catholic Church yesterday advis- ed them to keep away from. the women
 in the coal scuttle hat and the tub gown He said wives should not be chosen for their hats or their clothes, and a hat like a bucket upside down
 was not a good omen for a happy mar ried life Half the women in his con-
 gregation wore the new hats.
 "Men too often turn to women be- cause of their dress. the hats they wear or the cut of their gowns" he said: Marriage is too high and holy
 an estate to have it a bisis in these
 whims and fancies. We need more sim plicity of dress.
 Marriage means more to Catholics than others. How careful should every Catholic be in choosing a wife or hus- band, when it is remembered the choice is for all time and not for con- venience, to be cast aside any day at the doors of the divorce court Father F'inan closed his address with a plea for the simple girl modest in manner and attire, who would make 1 the better wife.

Marvellous Feat of Bitgood
 of Voluntown, Conn.
Two Brothers Claim to be

 pounds. Other 225.

In Voluntown, a small town three miles south of Moosup,s Conn.,. there live two young giants, Elmer and Doane Bitgood. who claim to be the two strongest men in the world and have an open challenge for any com petitor who wishes to compete for the title
 The two brothers recently attended an attraction at the Broadway Thea ter in Norwich. where the Apollo Brothers. two noted weight filters, were billed as a special attraction. Doane. the younger of the two. de- clared the weights were nothing more than a plaything for him. He would not try Apollo's lifting game, as he had no intention of breaking up the show. He invited the strong man to come out for a trial at the Bitgood game. ''No trick lifting" said Doane, ''but q straight back lift or putting up a. weight with the hands,
 At, the Bitgood farm in Voluntown there can be seen any time the appa- ratus with which they support their claim. Elmer, who weighs about 300 pounds, gets underneath a table on which several huge stones are placed weighing just 22OO pounds, and raises the table four inches with his ehoul- ders and then gently lowers it back to place again.
 Should the visitor desire further demonstration of his strength, Elmer has a stone as large as a small auto mobile. weighing 2,40O pounds, which they roll upon the table, and that is hoisted in the same way. He has also two stone baseballs the heaviest 23O pounds. which he will put over his head. one at g time. and finish up with a one-1and feat. in which he holds at arms length a stone weighing 150 pounds. He will also lift it with his little finger put through a ring in the stone.
 All the weights are guaranteed by a committee of townsmen who weighed them on a pair of new scales, and marked the weights. so that there might be no mistake. Elmer is 2i years old and weighs from 290 to 300. and Doane. who is 23 years of age, weighs 225. Their strength is an old family trait They have numerous other startling feats to perform and can interest any visitors during the day at their Voluntown farm.

''INTOXICATED
 ROBUSTNESS"
Hartford Courant.)

Next in general interest after the public utilities came the hearing on the astonishing restrictions on buSi- ness that the electric interests, or some of them, have quietly got through the Legislature. In twelve towns no man sell electricity to his next door neigh bor. Two big concerns in Bridgeport attempted to do this, and the electric concern there ordered them to stop. Finally it appeared that there was doubt about the penalty and in a mo-
 nent of intoxicated hoggishness the company undertook to strengthen the law by providing additional pen alties and further restrictions. At got busy. MT. Wheeler of Bridgeport, to whose public spirit the city is in- debted for it's splendid new hotel. was one of the kickers, and the proprietors of the Rowland Dry Goods store were others. The business mems associa- tionS around the state took it up. Thereupon the attorney for the cleo tric concerns, discovering the hornets nest he had stepped into, he under the committee and to insist that the people, who had offered a substitute amendment repeating the law, had no standing before the committee-at which they laughed. The law is a mighty mean one any way, it is unfair in applying only to twelve towns, and the assertion that it saves the com munity from danger is disposed of by the fact that it does not forbid giving the electric current; it only forbids selling it, and that only in twelve out of one hundred and sixty-eight towns. The peril still hOVerS over one hum dred and fifty-SiX communities.
