motion.

A Speckled gray hen which refused
to remain a prisoner in a market bas-
ket, held in the lap of timid little girl
caused no end of amusement and some
excitement on Pennsylvania avenue
street car last night.
l. Subdued cackles that issued from a
basket held tightly in the arms of the
little fiaxen-haired girl, who seemed
evidently embarrassed by the unlady-
like behavior of the hen. excited curl
Gus glances soon after she boarded the
car from fellow passengers, who smiled
at the bushes Of the child.
The little girl sighed relief when
there was a lull in the cackling and
leaned back in her seat unconscious
Of the preparations being made by the
hen for an excursion. There was a
sudden scrambling in the basket,
frightened cackles. louder than the
earlier ones and the top of the basket
flew wide open.
Cackling Ball of Feathers.
Out of the basket flew the hen, and
straight down the aisle of the car. For
half a minute there was a clamor of
VI
feathers, which frantically raced about
the car and suddenly landed upon the
lap of an equally frightened woman
who was dressed for the theater.
Another cackle, and the hen tried to
get out of the door, lodging hands that
grasped at its feathers, until it came IN
close proximity to colored man
dressed in the garb of a farmer. Here
the hen met her match. There was one
long cackle and the man had it by the
leg, firm and fast as ever a chicken was
caught The passengers in the for
ward end of the car looked about for
the owner.
Timid Owner Appears.
There was a slight hesitation and the
little girl came tinlidly forward holding
the basket invitingly open. More strug.
giles followed on the hens part, but hei
protests were shut off when she was
poked unceremoniously head first in the
basket and the top closed down tight. The
little girl looked appealingly about her
but by this time the passengers Were
equal to the occasion and there was q
laugh on all sides except by the girl who
snuggled into her corner again, with
both hands tightly holding down the fate

A report covering the first year of the
administration of fur seal fisheries of
Alaska by the Department of Commerce
and Labor was transmitted yesterday to
Secretary Nagel of the department by
w. /. Lembkey. the agent in charge of
the seal islands. The administration Of
the islands was placed entirely in the
hands of the department, and the old
leasing system done away with by act OF
Congress April p, 1910, and Mr.. Lenb-
keys report is for the year 1910.
Mr.. Lembkey's estimate of the number
OF seals In the herd in the Pribilof Islands
at the end of the killing season last year
| was 1872 20. Between 1900 and $4,000
| had been killed during the season.
An important feature of the report re-
lates to the Aleuts, the natives or the
islands Mr.. Lembkey states that eX-
termination from disease and insufficient
food threatens the Aleuts Of the Aleutian
archipelago He urges action to emeliorate

The law relating to the killing of seals
on the Pribilof Islands exempts all
females and all seals under one year OF
age. The additional departmental regu-
lations. similar to those of previous
years, restricted the killing further to
bachelor seals having pets WEIGHING at
least five pounds and not more than eight

Was Shot By A Burglar.

Among the Methodist preachers here
attending the District Conference is the
Rev. Charles Mayne, pastor of the church
at Griswold. Six years ago this spring
we attended the state Sunday school
convention at Iowa Falls, and among
the delegates was this same Mr.. Mayne
then living at Nevada. There was an
other gentleman in that city the same
day who at late hour that night made
call upon the minister without send
ing in his card. When Mr.. Mayne
awoke and found a live burglar in his
room he was at once seized with an
ambition to capture him and take him
to the convention the next day as O
frightful example of boys who do not
go TO Sunday school. When tine intruder
found there was somebody after him, he
made two shots in the floor probably to
scare the gentleman whom he had
awakened from his slumber. But much
to his sorrow afterward, the minister
didn't scare By the flash of the second
shot he saw the burglar few feet away
at the head of the stairs and he bounced
upon him like a cat upon mouse.
Together they tusseled and rolled down
stairs, but Just before reaching the bot
tom third shot struck Mr. Mayne In
the groin and made half dozen perfor-
ations in his intestines. That ended the
struggle for the burglar and he made
good his escape and so far has not been
caught The real struggle for life by
Mr.. Mayne then began and for some
days it was quite doubtful If he would
win. But in three weeks he was able
to leave the hospital and after several

Which Occurred At Audubon, Iowa,
Tuesday, June 9, 1911.

Announcement was made last week
of the passing out of Mr.. William Henry
Neff, who for long time had been one
of the prominent and substantial citizens
of this county. Mr.. Neff was born at

at Audubon. Iowa, June o, 1911, aged
~ years, . months and 20 days. On
January "a, 1866 he was joined in

settled ON farm two miles south of

also one brother, f. IT, Neff of Marseil-
les, Illinois, and nephew, Elmer Neff,

Having come here soon after Audubon
was established, they were among the
pioneers who developed the country;
and in doing so they shared the hard
ships as we'll as the pleasures of that
early period. After few years on the
farm they moved to Audubon and for
many years occupied the house in which
death came to both the father and the
mother Mr.. Neff was a stock dealer
for good many years and thereby be-
came well known TO the farming com
munity. He was man of integrity
and commanded the respect of those
who knew him best. Mr.. Neff was a
member of the council of Audubon for
about ten years and took part in making
many public improvements. Though he
appeared strong and rugged, he had been
failing the last year Some three weeks
ago he took to his bed and failed rapidly
until Tuesday morning, June 8. at 2:l5
o'clock his spirit took its flight to an
other world. The funeral service was
conducted at the home by Rev. j. HI.
Freedline, pastor of the Methodist

Red Jacket Fire Engine.

One of the postmasters attending the
convention, H. w. Wilson, now of
Audubon but formerly of Avoca, Iowa.
had to do with early history of Wa
terloo. About thirty.fiye years ago he
was mayor of Avoca, he was appointed
committee of one to come down to
Waterloo to look over the old Red
Jacket engine, and if deemed advisable
was authorized to buy the celebrated
hand engine. Mr.. Wilson in speaking
of the matter said:
II did not know much about fire
engines, but wandered about and fin
ally landed in the Reporter office.
There met.Matt Parrot, and largely
on what he said bought the engine.
We paid 800 for it and it served our
town well. The queer thing about the
deal is that the city of Avoca sold II
for the same price it gave, $400. l do
not know what became of it, but know
it is still in use somewhere in eastern
Iowa
Mr.. Wilson could not remember the
members of the council of Waterloo in
the early days, but was looking for
George Barnes, with whom he expected
to have good visit. Waterloo Reporter.

ed chasseIl Royal dood Fellow.

IL is now certainty that Ed Chas-
sell, state binder and royal good fellow
among politicians, Familiarity known in
every county in the state, is going to
be a candidate for the republican nom
ination for secretary of state, and from
all appearances his nomination will be
comparatively an easy race.
Chassell has been prominent in our
state politics for twenty years, during
which time he has continued to make
new friends each year and to lose very
few Of the old ones which he has had
to his credit 1t was true of him when
he was candidate for the nomination
of secretary Of state years ago when
state convention traded the nomination
away from him TO Dobson. II was true
of him when he served in the lower
house of the Iowa legislature. 1t has
been true of him while he has served
with conspicuous efficiency as state
binder. and. during recent political
campaigns in Iowa when his directing
genius has been back of many cam
paign conducted under the management,
first of Elk Treasurer .Gilbertson and
then of Robert Fleming, he has proved
himself loyal progressive without ex-
citing the enmity of politicians of the
opposing faction. Chassells game of
politics has always been a fair game.
Chassen personally is clean man.
Officially, and in private business he
has been distinct success, and no
better timber has ever offered itself
than he to serve the state of Iowa.
There have been times when many
loyal citizen has wished and has even
suggested Chassell run for governor,
so if he is now content to seek a posi-
ton as member of the executive council
under the title of secretary of state,
the people of this state should consider
themselves fortunate in being able to
secure the services of such man.
