Saturday morning a freighter
operating between Denison and
points west, staked two mules and
two horses on the prairie just west
of the city, and later in the day two
strangers went out, and each mount-
ing an smmal bareback, taking the
extra mule with them, left in the
direction of Sherman A num-

from an extended but unsuccessful
search for the notorious Bender fam-
ily Col. A. J. Keller, editor of
the Memphis Avalanche, spent
Monday in Denison The Sher-
man papers were complaining of the
muddy streets of that city. R.
B. Griffin, of Denison, secured the
contract to furnish the Galveston gas
company with coal Mr. S. Bost-

the city dodgers announcing his in-
tention of opening a set of books in
the city hall for the registration of
voters who wished to cast their balr

News of May a8 says: "Mr. Owen
McCarthy, of St. Mary's, Kas.,
closed the trade Monday for the two
business lots corner of Rusk avehue
and,Main street, west of the First
National bank. He paid $2200 tor
them, which is certainly cheap. Mr.
McCarthy will put up a two-story
brick building this summer, 50 feet
front by 100 deep, and in the fall
open out a fine stock of hardware,
agricultural implements, etc." Com-
ing to Denison was a wise move on
the part of Mr. McCarthy. He
still owns the property, which has
doubled in value time and again, and
is still in the hardware business....,
Monday night, May 27, a man by
the name of Crow, who was stop-
ping on Skiddy street at the Concert
hall, had his throat cut almost from
ear to ear by a Frenchman. Dr.
Feild dressed the wound, and the
Frenchman was arrested and placed
in jail At the meeting of the
council Monday evening the resigna-
tion ot Mayor Owings was accepted.
Dr. Owings was in poor health, and
it was impossible for him to longer

There is to be seen just now at the
South African general agency, at
Cockspur street, Charing CrOss, a
curious collection ot dried tip or
mummified baboons, taken from a
cave near Cronstadt, in the Orange
tree state. They have the skin on
them still, and in two instances the
temale has a young baboon clasped
in its "arms," as it attempting to
save it from some sudden catastro-
phe. In the cave were also tound
two human skulls, a dog's head, a
bird and the head of an antelope,
all imbedded in the wall of the cave
and all having the same appearance
of great agony or fright.
Several experts haveexamined the
remains with a view of ascertaining,
if possible, the cause of death, the
most probable theory being a sudden
flood.—Cor. Birmingham (Eng.)

A scientist declares that ice one.
inch and a halt thick will support a
man, but this is no consolation to
Benjamin Harrison who is skating
on ice a good deal thinner than that.
It must be said of Harrison that
he has done his best to conceai the
tact that he is better than his party;
and he has succeeded so well that
such a charge will probably never
again be brought against him.
Exactly how insect*, especially
bees and ants, find their way back
after having flown or been taken
some miles from the home hive or
ant hill, is one of the mystries ot
animated nature.-'
A young naturalist, who lived
fourteen miles from a large city, fre-
quently made it a point to test this
homing instinct in the common Ital-
ian bee. He would carefully color
their wings with red, blue, or violet
ink, pack them Snugly in a box and
carrv them to the very heart of the
city before releasing them, says the
Philadelphia Press.
With tew exceptions they were at
home working away unconcernedly
when the experimenter returned in
the evening. On one occasion, ac-
cording to a pte-arranged plan, he
turned six bees loose in the city at
six o'clock in the morning. He had
previously colored the wings of each
with red ink, so that his confederate
and co-experimenter, a sister who
also had an entomological taste,
could not possibly be mistaken as to
the exact time of their arrival.
The first one reached the home
hive at twenty-two minutes past two.
Before five three more ot them had
safely arrived, but were-seemingly
tin.*.*- fatigued.
At nightfall the fifth and sixth of
the home-loving little insects had
not put in an appearance. Bright
and early the next morning, however
the young scientists were overjoyed
to find all the red-winged honey
gathers humming merrily about their
work.
Experiments with large black ants
were equally satisfactory. The same
scientist tied yellow silk about the
"waists" of three large-sized speci-
mens that lived in a hollow tree in
the heart of a large wood. These
were carried distances'varying from
one to five miles from their .homes,
but invariably returned within a sur-
prisingly short time.

Coalburg, a hamlet lying eight
miles southeast of Birmingham,
Ala., reports a curious shower a few
nights since. Toward evening the
village seemed covered with a dense
cloud so black as to threaten a storm,
but it was to be seen that there was
neither wind nor heavy rain. This
cloud continued to hover above the
town until nearly r 11 o'clock that
night, when it began to shower light-
ly, and something in the sound of
the rain striking the people as be-
ing strange they went out to see
what was tailing, when it was tound
that the ground was covered with
what was at first taken to be snakes,
which caused great alarm, until sev-
eral of the creatures were caught by
more inquisitive or courageous spir-
its, when it was seen that they were
young eels. The largest were nearly
a foot in length, but the majority ot
them were only a few inches
Old fishermen ot the vicinity de-
clare that the eels were of a species
not to be found in this country ex-
cept on the Southern Pacific coast,
though plentiful in Mexico and Cen-
tral America. It appeared that
there were none of the creatures to be
tound more than a few hundred feet
beyond the limits of the hamlet, liut
witnesses declare that even within
that limited* circuit there must have
fallen millions of them. The people
have been much annoyed since by
the heaps ot dead eels, which render
the town almost uninhabitable, but
the farmers are using them as a fer-
tilizer.—Cor. Philadelphia Times.

Disheartened Missionary (return-
ing to his field after years of ab-
sence)—Oh, unhappy men, you have
lapsed into error and darkness and
paganism again 1
Chief Heathen—(apologetically)
—Well, you see. after you went
away a catholic missionary came
along and told us the bad place was
full of methodists, and so he scared
us into his communion; then he
went away, and a presbyterian came
along and waked us up on regenera-
tion, adoption and election, and we
joined his church ; then an episcopa-
lian came and we burned our West-
minsters and stocked up on prayer
books; then he left and a baptist
landed and walked us into the water
and baptized us right, and we'd just
about got settled when a new con-
gregational ist came over and told us
that so long as we were heathen we
had a dead sure thing of going to
heaven; but if we became christians
we bad to walk mighty straight or
go to the everlasting bonfire. So
we ate him up, burned our bibles,
and resumed business at the old
stand. Boys, put the parson into
the cage and fatten him up for
thanksgiving day.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Height of Auroras.
Experiments made at the Royal
Danish Academy have demonstrated
approximately the height ot the
aurora borealis. M. Adam Paulsen
at Godhaab, by means of two theo-
dolites situated four miles apart,
found that different aurora displays
varied from one to four miles in
height. Experiments near Cape
Farewell showed the height of differ-
ent auroras to vary from one to ten
miles. At Spitzenberg the range of
height was from one-third to eight-
een miles. In some of the earlier
experiments in this direction the ob-
servers concluded that the height of
auroras varied from 90 to 500
miles. —Scientific American.
