The ZeiuIer Turtle.

The Zeigler turtle, known to be at
least fifty-three years old, has been
reported seen again on the Zeigler
farm near Kirksville. According to
the Express, this was captured in
1861 by Harrison Zeigler, who carved
his name and the date on its shell.
Forty-eight years later it was found
again by Perry Zeigler, son of Harri-
son Zeigler. Perry Zeigler added his
own name and the date to the carving
on the turtles shell and released it.
1t was again seen three years ago by
a member Of the family, and now
Perry Zeigler saw 1t few days ago.

CAPTAIN U. GRANT NORTON
 ARRIVES FROM SEWARD

Captain U, Grant Norton, with his non sinkable boat t-sed "Nortonia," arrived from Seward last Tuesday evening, after an ab- sence of nearly three months He carried large load of late magazines and other current literature, and also some tropical fruit for Porter's House of Quality. On his trips to and from Seward Captain Norton had plenty of opportunity to size up" the winter trail, and his condemnatory words in relation to some portions of that route are certainly forceful. Many miles of the trail look as though the course had been selected by person who was enjoying a splendid dose of American delirium tremens while trying to escape his pursuers, it being so crooked and cratic.
 Mr Norton is scheduled to leave for Sew ard tomorrow or Monday with passengers.

WHY NEWS OF DISASTER
 WAS WITHHELD FROM PUBLIC

The Boston News Bureau says 1t has learned why the news of the sinking ot the dreadnaught Audacious was withheld. It was for the purpose of determining whether a submarine or a mine struck the ship.
 It was important for the British admir- atty to know if a submarine had pene- trated along the English coast at this great distance. It was belevd that no sub marine could have been operated m these waters unless it had supply base near at hand
 If submarine was able to torpedo the Audacous it would be able within reason able time to communicate the news ot such an important conquest to Germany Such an important announcement would be quickly bulletined.
 Thus far all the announcements have come from England, and there is at pres ent no ground for the belief that German submarines can circle the British isles.

Peter Johnson, of Johnson X Jepson, re- turned Tuesday from tour of the mining district He says he is very much pleased with the outlook on the several creeks.
 Flat creek impressed me as the busiest creek in the district. There are thrty-eight men on the creek, and not an idle man to be found. It does one good to stand at the head of the creek, look down and see steam coming from every plant, and all hoisting good dirt. Captain Worth is hoisting particularly good dirt" said Mir. Johnson.
 Starting at the head of Flat, dumps are being taken out in the following order: Joe Ward, Fowler & Co.,. Big Four, Mcleod x Johnson, Cook & McGavick, Captain John Worth and associates.
 Campbell & Mccarthy have uncovered some very good prospects on Spruce creek.

Mush on, Cub!" But did Cub" proceed to do a marathon? He did not-at least not just yet. He calmly looked around saw Master Sure standing idly by ill the crowd, wagged his tail and stood at attention as all good leaders should do 'Mush on Cub!

But Cub was strictly on the job, and not so easily buncoed; his canine intelligence told him that the master hand was not at the helm, and while he was hitting the high spots at 40 gait he took one peep over his shoul- ter between jumps to confirm his suspl- cions.
