BULLET GOES THROUGH HEAD; RECAINS SANITY
DEL THuR8ER, WHO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, TO BE DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL

PRESCOTT. May 27 Del Thur Der. who it will be remembered, attempted suicide at his cabin near Poland few weeks ago, by sending a bullet through his head from ear to ear, has recovered from the wound, and in a few days will be discharged from the County hospital. It is believed he will regain his men- tai facilities, and believing that the mountain air and a change of abode win benefit him, a friend has vol unteered to take him away from this section and care for him at his home near the city. Thurber appears to be rational for the greater part of the time, and when he relapses into mental decadence. recovers rapidly.
 It is believed that he will finally be restored to health. the remarkable change puzzling the medical men in charge of him. Over half an ounce of the mans brain was taken away by the bullet as it crashed through his skull. When he attempted self. destruction he was pronounced in. sane. as he killed his four horses and twelve burros. stating after. ward that they had only a short time to live. anyway. Now he re grets the act and would like to have them back.

 While on her way to church yester- day Mss Margaret AlcPhail of Sig nae. N. J.. had an exciting expert ence with huge chicken hawk, which made of w.sh her ehantieler hat
 When near the schoolhouse on Pompton turnpike. she first noticed the hawk lowering over her, but nigh up in the air. The bird. after cir cling about and swinging nearer and nearer to her. suddenly swooped down on her head and siezed the hat It iuttered and pulled at the head gear. while Mss McPhan screamed Two girl friends ran to her assist ance. Miss Minnie Hartsdorf reached iher first. and she tried to drive oif the bird. but the hawk Tapped his wings wildly several times, striking Miss Hartsdorf in the face and blind ing her for the time being.
 Miss MePhaii was so frightened that she sank to the ground. By that time the hatpins had worked loose and the hawk flew away with the headgear in its claws When over the Passaie river the bird evi dently discovered it had made a mistake and dropped the hat, which fell into the water. near the Sagnat bridge. where a number of men and boys were ishirx.

CHAUTAUQUA FOR
 DOUGLAS ASSURED
EPISCOPAL RECTOR TAKES UP THE PROJECT TO CARRY IT THROUGH.

DOUGLAS, May 27.-(Special )-- It is good news to Douglasites that E. W. SimoRson, rector of the Epis- copaf church has taken up the Chau- tauqua project which Montevaile Flowers casne to this city to arrange for. The success of the Chautauqua last year was the direct result of the jealous work, the tireless energy and progressiveness of Mir. Simonson. When no one else was ready to un- dertake the project he did so, and the result all will remember. By his efforts Douglas was enabled to ob- tain the most satisfactory and best worthwhile week of entertainments it had ever known, and it has felt the benefit of the last Chautauqua ever since. Under those circumstan- ces. and with the experience he ob- tained last fall no one is better fitted than Nr. Smonson to undertake a similar project this year. The fact that he had done so means another and probably greater success this year.
 Mr. Simonson was seen by an h. ternational reporter this morning and questioned as to the Chautauqua se- ries planned for this fall. He said that after last year he thought he had done enough and would not un- dertake another. but that when the time came he had reconsidered and decided 10 go into it- He believes that last year aroused the desire for more and that the project will be more easily conducted now than then
 Speaking of the attractions which the course will offer Mr. Simonson stated that the course will commence on either September 25 or 26. The attractions offered will be a lecture by Governor Glenn of North Carolina, a speaker of the La Toilette type, who will talk of political conditions. Then Frederick warde will be here and give Night with Shakespeare. in readings and recitations. All know what Frederick Warde means in any connection with the Shakes perian plays Vocal music will take the place of the instrumental music offered last year and in this line th' Kelly sisters are the attraction. Mrs Pickett. pronounced one of the fou best women lecturers on the platform will tell the story of Gettysburg. sh' is the wife of General Pickett, who's name is ndeIlibly connected wit that bloody field. AIontevaile Flov CTS is an impersonator whom Genera Lew Wallace stated gave the bes recitation of Ben Hur that had eve been known. He will be here on night
 Rosini will be different from Nicoli who was here last season The Ia ter merely mystified Rosinl explain what he does and tells how he doe it. Dr. Charles Sturgeon. eousi Of the famous evangelist, is anotht attraction. He will either speak Q the present crisis in Great Britain ( else viii address on John Bulls F innate of the American"

COUNTRYS WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown to Enor-
NOUS Proportions Within Few
Years.

The production of oil in the United
States has grown from nothing at the
time of its discovery to enormous pro-
portions. Millions of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams of avarice.

the soil was first tapped in the wild
eating operations of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts of
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage In the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou

up and the war for supremacy began.

II Grant Carried North Carolina Eiec.
ton, New York Statesman Prom
Ised Not to Get Drunk, But
to "Quench His Thirst"

There IS one incident connected
with the presidential campaign of
1872. when my father was running
for reelection against Horace Greeley.
the Liberal Republican candidate.
that | remember wildly" said Gen.
Fred ID. Grant to me the other day.
You may remember that the North
Carolina state election of 1872 which
was held in the summer attracted a
great deal of attention In all parts of
the country. That was because of the
widespread belief that IL would fur
nish a good indication of how the
presidential election in November
would go-whether my father would
be reelected. or Horace Greeley
would be victorious. At that time. you
know. North Carolina was under re-
construction, and in the control of the
Republican party element, or ele-
ments, | should say, for the fight was
between the two wings of that party.
During the closing week or two of
the Carolina fight father took a little
vacation on one of the Thousand
Islands. Our stay there ended the
very day of the election and we took
the night train for Washington, father
especially having greatly enjoyed the
tonic atmosphere of the ST. Lawrence.
Very early the following morning
father was told that a gentleman had
entered our sleeping car and asked to
see him. l should say that we had
just left n station about twenty-five
miles north of Utica. n. ". and ia
Their remarked that whoever his Wis
itor was he must have risen very
early in order to meet him.
Who do you suppose that visitor
was? None other than Senator Ros-
coe Conkling. With hand extended.
and displaying all that courtly dignity
which was so characteristic of him. he
went up to father and greeted him. He
inquired how father had passed the
night, and then. after brief general
conversation, asked: Mr. President,
have you heard the news from North
Carolina?'
Father intimated somewhat vague
ly that he had received some news
It's very bad-very bad. indeed.
said Senator Conkling. Tn afraid that
we have been overwhelmingly defeat
ed by the Liberal Republicans
