AFIGHT WITH HATCHETS.
An Attack Upon Xon-L’uioa men in Chicago,
Illinois.
Union carpenters still persist in theit
attacks upon non-union inen who work
ten hours a day. Last Wednesday about
twenty union men rushed into a new
building at the corner of Campbell and
Oakley avenues, nnd assaulted the aston¬
ished workmen with saws, hatchets and
other tools. Four men were severely cut.
Tin; foreman was in the second story at
the time. Hearing the row, he rushed
(o the stairway anti fired a shot at one oi
the intimidators. It caused a panic
among them and they fled. The foreman
fired several shots at the crowd and they
left. The patrol wagon arrived too late
to capture any of the assailants.
ANOTHER BANK FAILURE.
Departure of Its President to Canada witb
the Funds.
Dundy County bank, of Benkleman,
Neb., failed Wednesday. Mr. Belzer,
president, skipped to Canada and took
with him about $100,000 in funds and se¬
curities. Business men and farmers fee!
the loss greatly, as many have lost the
last dollar they had on earth. Several
homesteaders had their little all in the
bank and were to prove up to-day. Many
will have to abandon their claims. The
greatest excitement prevails. Belzci had
transferred Ids available property to his
wife before leaving. Many eastern banks
, m(l firm8 ]ose heavily. McCarther & Bel-
The bank firm was
zer. The firm was quoted in Bradstreet’s
at from *35,000 to *40,00(1, and their
credit was very good. Bemkleman is a
town of about 300 people. It is claimed
that Belzer took with h im $100,000 in
funds and securities. It is quite likely
that a large portion of this amount was
entrusted to him by eastern individual parties losers to
loan out. Details as to
an( j accounts have not yet been received
here. The bank only claimed a capital
f « 10 O oo and it is not believed by
Q mah a bankers that Belzer could have
taken *100,000 unless he had some east-
em money loaner’s funds.

Timidity—A Hindoo Fable.
A Billy mouse, thinking each thiug a cat,
Foil into helpless worriment thereat;
But, noticed by a Wizard living near,
Was turned into a cat to ond its fear.
No sooner was the transformation done
^
Now, when the Wizard saw this last throe,
••Here, be a dog," he mid, “and end your
woe.”
But 'fear though a dog its soul had no roleasc,
p or some tiger might disturb its peace.
Into a tiger next the beast was made, ,
And still ’twas pitiful and sore afraid;
Because the huntsman might, some illstarred
day
Happen along and take his life away,
“Then,” said the Wizard, turning to his
’
couse,
“You have a mouse’s heart—now be a mouse.
Tta bo with men, no earthlv earthly help help or or dower dower
Can add one atom to their native power,

No art can make a lion from a mouse.

magnificent painting on the hall floor,
choosing this singular place because all l.li
other pictures had been “skied” to such au
extent that it was a real pleasure to have
one, at least, as far away from the ceil¬
ing as possible. He didn’t by any means
take kindly to Ariadne’s proposition that
he should consider her his niece.
Then her saltatory slave, the best walt-
zer she knew, put in an appearance, and
wouldn’t listen to her offer of a second-
oousinship; nor did her muscular mash,
who could run a mile in five minutes,
and had the largest biceps ever seen off a
gorilla, with whom she attended all sorts
of athletic games, wish her to be his
third-cousin, which was ail she had to
to give, her stock of relationship being
closed out.

the patent of one of his predecessors.
At this moment he entered, amply pro¬
vided with manly beanty, immense
wealth, splendid talents, and everything
else necessary for the equipment of a first-
class, super-extra hero.

The Lost Tribes of Israel.
A proclamation was lately issued by
the Ameer of Afghanistan which brings
forward one of the most curious riddles
in history; the disappearance of the ten
lost tribes of Israel. Ethnologists and
antiquarians have followed every trace
of these vanished nations with the ardor
of sleuth-hounds on a trail.
There is hardly a race in Asia, Europe
or America that has not at some time
been proved to be descended from the
lost Israelites. Chief among these are
the Chinese, the Mongol Tartars, the
Japanese, the Cossacks, the Gypsies, and
the American Indians. Even the Saxons,
through whom bluff John Bull and Puri¬
tan New England got into the world,
have had, and still have, their supporters
as to this mysterious claim. A library of
learned tomes has been written on thir
single question.
The Afghans in feature strongly re¬
semble the Hebrews, but they hold them¬
selves aloof from the modem Jews, of
whom there are large numbers in the
kingdom. The Afghans call themselves
Beni Melik Talut, or Sons of Saul,
and the legend of their origin is that
when David took possession of the throne
of Saul, that King’s grandson Afghan,
a giant in size and strength, established
himself in the mountains of Persia, and
afterwards in the country now known as
Afghanistan.
sir.William Jones, the great antiqua¬
rian, examined the proofs of this story and
gave it credence.
The Ameer’s recent claim is of interest
to the Hebrews and others who attempt
to interpret the ancient prophecies, as
many of them hold the belief that the
Hebrew race will all be gathered again
into the Holy Land, and that immedi¬
ately before this restoration the tec lost
tribes will be discovered somewhere in
the neighborhood of Afghanistan. It is,
in any case, a curious question, involving
the descent of a race through the most
mysterious regions of history. — Youth't

A Good Position.
“What pay do you get?” asked a man
who had just arrived in a western Dako¬
ta town, of the marshal.
“Twenty-five dollars a month."
“Isn’t that pretty small wages?”
“Oh, yes, it would be if I had to work
all the time. You see, whenever the
cowboys come in and got drunk and ;..e
air begins to get sort of thick and sultry
like with bullets I go home and crawl
into the cellar. They are here pretty
frequent so I have an easy time of it.” —
