A week or two ago II was noticed
that the bly, West Indian seal vi the

two-thirds Of It's length down from It's
head, there was swelling the size
and shape of half an egg an abseess

They waited n day or two Go see II
this swelling on the big seal might not
reduce itself naturally. and then they
sent for Dr Reed Blair Of the New

a powerful animal, and its teeth are
sharp aud dangerous, and II was nee.

r% HE resignation of Richard

balm to the soul of Clifford Pin

ing, but was all the more welcome be-
cause belated 10 the average Ameri-

act of Ballinger's official career. There
were whispers about Washington that
the new congress intended to impeach
him, or adopt the adverse findings OF
the minority Of the investigating COM
naittee, or do some equally disagree
able thing.
Far be It from me to say that these
rumors had anything to do with the
resignation. Doubtless the American
people will be so content with the out

Uplifter In Politics.
The new secretary of the interior is a
Chicago lawyer. He has long been re-
forming Chicago politics and has not
got the job completely finished. Rut
that is not his fault. To reform Chi

was after Mr. Yerkes had mussed up

Mayor Dunno had been elected to do
things TO the entangIed transit trust.
He made Fisher traction counsel. and
the way that gentleman ate up figures
and asked for more gave mental indi-

was that Fisher offered a plan by
which the city Of Chicago and the
transit companies could get together.

virtual victor in the long battle with
Baliinger
Mr.. Fisher was born in 1862 In
Wheeling, ". Va. Two OF the things
that made my heart warm TO him were
that he went for year to Marietta
(O.) college and that he has six chill
dren. his education was finished at
Hanover college, Indiana, Of which his
father was president. He was admit
ted TO the bar in 1881 and since that
time has been in the practice in Chi

Helped to Purify Politics.
Fisher helped to organize the Munic-
ipal Voters league In Chicago, which
had some part in cleaning up the poll

secretary and president thereof. he
has also been vice president of the
National Municipal league, as well as

enthusiastic sportsman, being a golfer
and having other faults.
AS speaker he is a keen and logical
reasoner, with a gift at perfectly dec

rather lean individual. with a long

His enemies charge him with being
"bossy." His friends. among whom
are most OF the uplifters of the land.

high order OF executive ability and

killed in his barnyard yesterday. While
he was working among his cattle a
bull attacked him. knocking him to
the ground The infuriated animal
began to trample the farmer, but was
unable to gore him because It had been
dehorned.
When the beast had it's head down on
the farmer. Mr.. Deamond grabbed the
ring in its nose and twisted It until
the bull let up enough to allow him to
crawl under the fence. Mr. Deamond
was badly bruised and Jared as a re-
suit of his experience, but escaped
without any serious injuries The
farmer would probably have been
killed had he not grabbed the ring in
