Bushman Hunting the Ostrich.
The bushmnn dlvcsta himself of nil
tile encumbrances; water vessels, ford,
cloak, assegai nnd sandals arc left be¬
hind. Armed only with his bow, ar¬
row* and knife, lie rets forth. Th'
nearest ostrich, la feeding morn thnn a
mile nwny, and there Is no covert but
the long, enn-drled, yellow urn"*, Lot
that is enough for th* bushmnn
Worming himself over the ground
with the greatest caution, ho cruwlc
flat toward the bird. No serpent could
traverse the grass with less disturb
unco, in the spare of an hour and «
ha't he hns approached within a hnn-
*«lred yards of the tall bird. Nearer
he dare not creep on this bare plain,
and, at more than twenty-five paces, h •
cannot trust his light, reetl arrows.
He lies patiently hidden In the grass,
his bow nnd arrow* ready In front of
him, trusting that the ostrich may
draw nearer.
It Is a long wait under the blazing
sun, close on two hours, but his in
minrt serves him, and at last, as the
Hun shlfia a little, the great ostrich
feeds that way. It la it magnificent
male bird, tot black as to Its bodv
plumage and adorned with magnificent
white feathers upon the wings and
tall. Kwaueot's eyes glisten, but he
''taoves not a muscle. Closer nnd closer
the ostrich approaches. Thirty pan .,
twenty-five, twenty. There Is a sllgh'
musical twang upon the hot air, nnd
a tiny yellowish arrow Btirks well Inn
the breast of the gigantic, bird, Th.
ostrich feels a sharp pang anil turn
at once, in that same Instant a sec¬
ond arrow is lodged In Its aide Just
under the wing feathers, Now the
stricken bird raises I1h wings from Its
body and speeds forth Into the plain.
But Kwancet Is tjulio content, The
poison of those two arrows will do his
work effectually. He gets up, follows
the ostrich, tracking H after H has dp
appeared from sight, by Its spoor, nnd
In two hours the game lies here before
him amid the grass, dead ns a stone.

WOOD IN BICYCLES.
1 he Wheel Creates e Good Demand In
thy Lumber Trade.
The continuing nnd growing dcnian-l
for i >< n e l.-s its i fleet up >:i u. n, i u-
v.ooll lumber trade. It la estimated
tint tlit.o will be produced In Atnsrl*
can factories this year nearly MWMJOO
bicycle*. Practically all of these are
equipped with wood rims. Each wood
rim roipWti s ‘J‘‘j feet boanl measure,
and allowing one-third for waste, that
would mean a consumption of (IjiOOgfiK)
feet, almost exclusively rock elm. This
Is far (h<- rltns alone, to say nothing
of the guards nnd baudlo bars, but
of the latter there Is another story,
says the Lumberman.
The consumption <*f «,OfiO/fi»r> feet or
thereabout# of rot k elm does not look
v'jcry largo In a business which Is ac¬
customed to deal with hundreds of mil¬
lions, but when It is remembered that
only about 15 per cent, of hard maple
Is available for rim purposes, aud that,
therefore 40,000,000 feet of one of the
minor hard woods must be handled
over in order to obtain ibis nail' rial,
Inc Importance of the bicycle demand
In this special way will b ■ recognized.
We spoke above of wooden handle
liars. That Is to be the next thing in
bicycles, according to authorities on
the subject, Wood, principally hick-
ory, perhaps n little ash, Is to be used
Instead of Steel tubing, not because if
any decrease in weight, hut because of
the superior elasticity of the wood,
making the wheels easier to ride and
less fatiguing to the hands and arms.
Furthermore, It will lie an advantage
to the manufacturers, as bent tubing
is a difficult article to manufacture,
whereas hickory can be bent into any
desired shape; and then again, tbQ new
liars will be cheaper. There Ih no
prospect of any less number of bl-
cyclca being manufactured In (be near
future than In the present or the past,
and perhaps t .< m, 0<x> bicycles next
year may be placed new upon the mar-
ket.
A coaslderablo portion of Ibom, it
Is said, perhaps Iho majority, will have
hickory bars made of second growth
hickory. That Is another thing for the
hard-wood men to take note of. ItUt
Ihe consumption of lumber, due to Ihe
bicycle trade, does not stop with this. .
There Is crating. What that amounts
to no one seems to know, but about
every bicycle, soonpr or later, Is In¬
vested with 11 crsl“ of ,ts own, and
thia requirement must uicnn a enn-
aldernlde incress* In consumption of
coarse lumber, m>. though the lilcyelo
Is largely a thing of tubing, wire nnd
forging, It Im h some Influence on the
lumber trade.
Hostile Indians in Alaska.
A Klondike minor who recently vis¬

that It was located In territories where

A White Throat Rneer.
Cleoreo Stewart, w-lille working on
the farm of J. Kennedy Tod, llie New
York bunker, at Sound Beach, Conn.,
came upon s reptile known ns a white
throat racer, which was coiled behlinl
a rock.
He procured a gun and fired at the
snake, slightly wounding it. The
snake, a monster, sprang at him and
hit him on the shoulder, but was
knocked to one side.
Mr. Stewart seized a rail, and for
more than nu hour there was a run¬
ning fight between kltu and tho snake.
NVhen it was finally killed the reptile
was found to measure eight Inches

MORE SENSATIONS NRRt'NG IN

CAPTAIN PEEPLES IS CONVICTED.
Ho Was Agent of Ihe XV. A A. Railroad.
Another Prominent Merchant
Is Arrested.
Nearly all of Thursday and Friday
in tho now celebrated ear robber cases
at Dalton, On., was taken up in the
trial of Captain T. J. Peeples, the
agent of the Western aud Atlantic
railroad at Dalton.
Notwithstanding that Captain Peo¬
ples was ably defended, the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty.
Peeples ha* been the biggest game
so far that the prosecution has brought
down. IDs conviction created terror
among the accused, who hove not yet
been brought to trial. There was
some doubt about getting twelve men
with the courage to find him guilty.

The defense had tho jurors polled,
but every one answered that it was his
verdict. Judge Fite did not pass sen¬
tence. There may bo another ease
against Peeples. It is rumored that I 10
may lie tried for recoivingstolen tobacco
from Bohannon. The penalty in the
ease already decided may he either a
fine or imprisonment in the chaingang
j or penitentiary. The recommenda-
tjon leaves it to the judge to say
whether it shall be punished as a mis-
demeanor or as a felony. Captain
Peeples has been agent of the Western
anil Atlantic railroad in Dalton for five
years. charged with buying
Peeples was The a
carpet from Walter Bohannon,
latter said that lie sold it to Peeples
and received the money for it. The
defense attempted to impeach Bohan¬
non, lint tho jury believed him, and
the citizens generally believed. Pee¬
ples was deserted by his two sons at
the critical hour, and he had to rely for
his defense wholly upon his own state¬
ment, and the evidence of a negro em¬
ployee. The defendant said that his
son Drew, n member of the city coun¬
cil, had bought a carpet for him a year
ago last summer in Chattanooga The
father did not produce any receipt or
memorandum of any kind to show
where they got the carpet that ruined
_
him.
“ I'hero Aro Othttm.'*
Anderson Giddings, a small mer-
eliant of Tunnel Hill, pleaded guilty
Friday to an indictment charging him
with receiving stolen goods. Men-
tence was deferred in his case, too.
Tho case against Mack Cannon was
called, but it was passed. Cannon's
trial will probably last two days.
This will be a sensational case. Bo¬
hannon says that Cannon often bought
goods of him. There was one lot of
clothing for which the Southern rail¬
way paid McTecr A- Co., of Knoxville,
$1,200. Bohannon says that Cannon
paid him $85 for the lot.
Cannon is the wealthiest merchant
in Dalton, and has the largest clothing
trade in north Georgia. Everything
is done in his w ife’s name. The store
is known as the Baltimore Clothing
House.
NV. B, MeCarson, who runs a large
store in North Dalton, was arrested
Friday for dealing with Bohannon’s
hand of robbers.
The grand jury has been investiga¬
ting (1. C. Hemis, the father-in-law of
Drew Peeples, who skipped.
There is an indictment against one

More ladies were in court Friday
than at any previous time in Whit¬
field's history. The ladies are for
convicting nearly every time. One of
them asks that it ho clearly stated that
the members of Dalton’s 400 do not
regard llolmnnon as a hero. *
Lee Arwood, who pleaded guilty to
buying a bicycle from Bohannon, while with¬
drew his plea and w ent to trial tlio
Peeples jury was out. Bohannon stat¬
ed that he did not think Arwood
knew the bicycle'was stolen. Arwood
said that ho did not know it, and on
iliis testimony Judge Fite directed tho
jury to acquit the young man. So he
was really tried and acquitted within
the ninety minutes that the Peeples
jury was out. This was the first one
to get off, and lip had pleaded guilty.

A Richmond dispatch says: Gover¬

opinion it is necessary to have tho
boundary line between Maryland and
Virginia in the Pocomoko sound and
river established arid that he himself
will have the matter attended to.
Tho matter referred to lias been re¬
peatedly investigated by both the
states concerned and Virginia has al¬
ways taken the ground that the down
ent boundary line is the one laid
by the Black and Jenkins award. Four
years ago tho legislature of both states
appointed special commissioners, who
went over tho ground very carefully
and the Virginia committee afterword
reported in favor of retaining tlio ex¬
isting boundary line.
The Maryland people declined to
accept this line.

The bustard has become extinct In
Great Britain and cannot be found in
America. It is true there is a so-called
bustard in British America, but it is
really the Canadian goose. Spain and
Africa are the chief strongholds of the
family, many well marked species be-
ing found in these countries. India,
too, has at least three distinct species.

most strange—for tail, head and neck

oddly.

A “Tom Thumb” train, so-called be¬
cause it is the smallest in the world, is
to be exhibited at the Transmisslssippi
Exposition at Omaha. The engine
weighs 450 pounds. The driving
wheels are eight inches in diameter,
and yet the locomotive hauls six ob¬

children can he comfortably seated.
The entire train, consisting of engine,
tender, four observation cars, one box
car, and a caboose, is hut twenty-nine
feet in length. Six gallons of water in
the tender tank and five !n the boiler
will furnish steam to propel it for two
hours. Coal is hauled and shoveled
out of the tender in the orthodox man¬
ner. In fact, the little engine is com¬
plete in miniature in every detail.
