Bushmen Hunting the Ostrich.
The bushman divrsts himself of all
hla encumbrancer:; Water vessels, foxl,
cloak, arsegat and par,dais an* left be¬
hind. Armed only with his bow. ar¬
rows and knife, he sets forth. Th"
nearest ostrich is feeding more than a
mile away, and there Is no covert but
the long, sun dried, yellow grass, but
that Is enough for the bushman
Worming himself over the ground
with tbe greatest caution, he crawls
fiat toward the bird. No serpent could
traverse the grass with less disturb¬
ance. In the space of an hour and a
half he has approached within a hun¬
dred yards of the tall bird. Nearer
he dare not creep on this bare plain,
and, at more than twenty-five paces, he
cannot trust his light reed arrows.
He lies patiently hidden in the gra-s,
his bow and arrows ready in front of
him, trusting that the ostrich “ay
draw nearer.
It is a long wait under the blazing
“sun, close on two hours, but his in
stinct serves him, and at last, as the
min shifts' a little, the great ostrich
feeds that way. It is a magnificent
male bird, Jet black as to Its body
plumage and adorned with magnificent
white feathers upon the wings nnl
tall. Kwaneet’s eyes glisten, but he
moves not a muscle. Closer and < los *i
the ostrich approaches. Thirty pace;
twenty-five, twenty. There Is a sligh'
musical twang upon the hot air. and
a tiny yellowish arrow slicks well into
the breast of the gigantic bird. The
ostrich feels a sharp pang and
at once. In that some instant a i
ond arrow is lodged in its side Just
under the wing feathers, Now th"
stricken bird raises its wings from its
body and speeds forth into the plain.
But Kwaned is quite content, The
poison of those two arrows will do his
work effectually. He gets up, follows
the ostrich, tracking it after it has dis¬
appeared from sight by its spoor, and
in two hours the game lies here before
him amid the grass, dead as a stone.—

WOOD IN BICYCLES.
The Wheel Create* a Coed Demand in
the Lumber Trade.
The continuing ar.'J growing demand
I for cycles bus its < m-ci upou .be turn-
wood lumber trade. It Is estimated
lhat there will be produced in Ameri-
can factories this year nearly 800,000
bicvclcs. Practically all of these are
equipped with wood rims. Each wood
rim requires 2% feet board measure,
and allowing one-third for waste, that
would mean a consumption of 6,000,000
feet, almost exclusively rock elm. This
is for the rims alone, to say nothing
of the guards and handle bars, but
of the latter there is another story,
says the Lumberman.
The consumption of 6,000,000 feet or
! j thereabouts of rork elm docs not look
very | arg(! ln B business which is ae-
customed to deal with hundreds of mil-
I lions, but when it is remembered that
I only a | lout p-, p f , r c ent. of hard maple
j , ls available for rim purposes, and that,
j therefore 40,000,000 feet of one of the
minor i mn i woo ds must, be handled
over in order to obtain this material,
(j , p importance of the bicycle demand
(ll thlK K p f .,.j a i way will be recognized,
We spoke above of wooden handle
I bars. That is to be the next thing in
|,j cyc i efl( according to authorities on
the subject. Wood, principally hlek-
ory , )er j,aps a little ash, is to be used
i inst( .nd of steel tubing, not because of
any dporr.ase in weight, but because of
t)l0 guper j or elasticity of the wood,
mak i nK the wheels easier to ride and
less fatiguing to the hands and arms.
Furthermore, it will be 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, the new
bars wdll be cheaper. There is no
prospect of any less number of bi¬
cycles being manufactured in the near
future than in the present or the past,
and perhaps 1,000,000 bicycles next
year may be placed new upon the mar-
kct.
A considerable portion of them, it
Is said, perhaps the majority, will have
hickory bars made of second growth
hickory. That is another thing for the
hard-wood men to take note of. But
the consumption of lumber, due to the
bicycle trade, does not stop with this,
There is crating. What, that amounts
to no one seems to know, lint about
every bicycle, sooner or later, is ln-
vested with a orate of ,ts own, and
this requirement must mean a con¬
siderable increase in consumption of
coarse lumber, so, though the blcyclo
is largely a thing of tubing, wire and
^gtn*. » has some influence on the
lumber trade.

Hostile Indians in Alaska.
A Klondike miner who recently vis¬
ited W. W. Wcare at the offices of
the Nortti American Transportation
and Trading Company in San Fran¬
cisco, Cal., said that there were moun¬
tains of gold in Alaska, and that more
t.' the yellow metal would remain in
the ground for years to come than
would he taken out, for the reason
that it was located in territories where
hostile Indians abounded. He said:
"There are tribes in Alaska which
have never seen a white man, have
never been counted and never even
mentioned hy name. The Innnits, or
Eskimos, live on tlie north and north¬
west coasts and up the lower Yukon,
Copper and Tanana rivers; they are
identical in race with the Klamaths,
Apaches and Navajos of this country,
and are fierce and dangerous. The
Thllnkets live on the southern coasts,
and are the merchants, traders and
pack-carriers, On Islands off tho
const, live the Hydas, who are often
practically white, and are supposed to
be of some unknown rnce—possibly
the name ns the Japanese.”
A White Throat Racer.
George Stewart, while working on
the farm of J. Kennedy Tod, the New
York banker, at Sound Beach, Conn.,
came upon a reptile known as a white
throat racer, which was coiled behind
a rock.
He procured a gun and fired at the
shake, 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 an hour thero was a run¬
ning fight between him and the snake.
When it was finally killed the reptile
was found to measure eight inches
around and nearly ten feet in length.
Tho snake is the largest ever seen
there.—Trenton (N. J.) American.

Hoad Dotcnnlned to Meet Ail Cut**
That May Ho Made Hy
Competitors.
Once more the Seaboard Air-Line
and the combination of its big rivals
headed by the Southern railway, are
engaged in a battle royai. Open war
has again been declared and the fight
will probably be one to the death.
The circular just issued by the Sea-
board announcing a differential pas-
senger tariff on through and local bus-
iness and the reduction of 33 1-3 per
cent. in fares contained therein is the
first shot in what may terminate in a
long continued struggle between tb«
associated railways which have refused
to haul the Seaboard through ears and
the Seaboard.
The rates are subject to change, and
this phrase, as defined by General
Passenger Agent Anderson, means
that the Seaboard will cut as often as
its lower rates are met by its competi-
tors in order to preserve the different-
ial features.
When questioned concerning the
possibility of interference by the
United States courts, as has been th&
case in former rate wars, Mr. Ander.
son said;
“This road is proceeding upon dil-
ferent lines from those adopted prevt-
ously, when cuts were merely made

as our weapon, as the northern and

new rates go into effect October 20th
and have already been filed with the
interstate commerce commission,
“During the past, three or four years
the Seaboard Air-Lino has made many
and frequent efforts to secure for itself
and the public the same through

LIVELY TIMES IS II.
MORE SENSATIONS SPRING , IN
THE CAR PIRACY TRIALS.
PEEPLES IS CONVICTED.
He Wan Agent of the TV. & A. Kailroad.
Another Prominent Merchant
Is Arrested.
Nearly all of Thursday and Friday
l in the celebrated robber
now ear cases
at Dalton, Ga., was taken up in the
trial of Captain T. J. Peeples, the
agent of the Western and Atlantic
railroad at Dalton.
Notwithstanding that Captain Pee¬
ples was ably defended, the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty.
Peeples has been the biggest game
so far that the prosecution has brought
down. His conviction created terror
among the accused, who have not yet
been brought to trial. There was
some doubt about getting twelve men
with the courage to find him guilty.
He has the reputation of a fighter.
The defense had the jurors polled,
but every one answered that it was his
verdict. Judge Fite did not pass sen¬
tence. There may be another case
against Peeples. It is rumored that he
may be tried for receiving stolen tobacco
from Bohannon. The penalty in the
case already decided may be either a
fine or imprisonment in the chamgang
or penitentiary. The recommenda¬
tion 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
and Atlantic railroad in Dalton for five
years.
Peeples was charged with buying a
carpet from Walter Bohannon. The
latter said that he sold it to Peeples
and received the money for it. The
defense attempted to impeach Bohan¬
non, but the jury believed him, and
the citizens generally believed. Pee¬
ples was deserted by his two sons at
the critical hour, and ho 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, a 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.
“Tliere Are Others.”
Anderson Giddings, a small mer¬
chant of Tunnel Hill, pleaded guilty
Friday to an indictment charging him
with receiving stolen goods. Sen¬
tence was deferred in his case, too.
The eftse against Mack Cannon was
called, but it was passed. Cannon’s
trial will probably last two days.
This will he 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 McTeer & 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 wife’s name. The store
is known as the Baltimore Clothing
House.
\V. 11. McCarson, who runs a large
store in North Dalton, was arrested
Friday for dealing with Bohannon’s
band of robbers.
The grand jury has been investiga¬
ting 0. 0. Bemis, the father-in-law of
Drew Peoples, who skipped.
There is au indictment against one
Buckholtz, who has a restaurant.
Many Radies I*rGsent.
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 be clearly stated that
the members of Dalton’s 400 do not
regard Bohannon as a hero.
Lee Anvood, who pleaded guilty to
buying a bicycle from Bohannon, with¬
drew his plea and went to trial while the
Peeples jury was out. Bohannon stat¬
ed that he did not think Anvood
knew the bicycle was stolen. Anvood
said that he did not know it, and on
this testimony Judge Fite directed the
jury to acquit the young man. So he
w as really tried and acquitted within
the ninety minutes that the Peeples
jury was out. This was tho first one
to get off, and he had pleaded guilty.

Build up the female organs. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will
save you from the hospital. It will put new life into you.
The following letter shows how Mrs. Lyness escaped the hospital and a
fearful operation. Her experience should encourage
N other women to follow her example. She says
to Mrs. Pinkham:
ja n “I thank you very much for what you have
HjC USk done for me, for I had given up in despair.
Last February, I had a miscarriage caused
li¬ by overwork. It affected my heart* caused
me to have sinking spells three to four a

I then three or four times a week for four
N months. Finally he said I would have to un¬
dergo an operation. Then I commenced taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and
after one week I began to recover and steadily improved until I was cured
completely. By taking the Pinkham medicine, I avoided an operation which
the doctor said I would certainly have to undergo. I am gaining every day
and will cheerfully tell anyone what you have done for me.”—M bs. Thos.

A STRANGE BIRDc
The Stately Bustard is Gradually Becom¬
ing Extinct!
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.
Australia possesses at least one largo
species.
It was thought at one time that the
bustard was nearly allied to the os¬
trich, blit that is a mistaken view.
He would seem to be more nearly re¬
lated to the cranes in one direction and
the piovers in another.
A male bustard measures from the
tip of its bill to the end of its tail four
feet or thereabouts, and its wings
have an expanse of eight feet or more
—double the length. If put on the
scales, it would weigh from twenty-
two to thirty-two pounds, according
to age. The female bird is smaller.
There is nothing ridiculous about the
appearance of the bustard, although
when compared With other birds fre¬
quenting open places its lggs are very
short. Indeed, it is quite a stately
creature, and when on the wing almost
as majestic as the eagle.
The bustard’s bill appears longer
than it really is on account of the
flatness of the head. The neck of the
male is thick, particularly in certain
seasons, and at such times he carries
his tail in an upright position, turning
it frequently forward, twisting his
head and neck along his back in a
most curious maflner. It is then, too,
he drops his wings and erects their
shorter feathers. The appearance It
most strange—for tail, head and neck
are almost buried amid the upstanding
feathers, and the breast is protruded
oddly.
The bustard la of a pale gray on
the neck and white beneath, but the
back is beautifully barred with russet
and black, and a band of deep tawny
brown or claret color descends from
either shoulder over the breast. No¬
tice the tuft of long, white, bristly
plumes springing up upon each side
of the head. These are only seen in
the male bird. The bustard loves the
open country and feeds on almost any
plant growing naturally In the country.
In winter, when natural or wild plants
are scarce, he readily feeds on those
which are grown tiy man. He is by no
moans a strict vegetarian, but adds to
his vegetable diet a fat worm or a liv¬
ing mouse, or anything that fives and
moves and is small enough.
Smallest Train in the World.
A “Tom Thumb” train, so-called be¬
cause it is the smallest in the world, is
to be exhibited at the Transmississippi
Exposition at Omaha. The engine
weighs 450 pounds. The driving
wheels are eight inches in diameter,
and yet the locomotive hauls six ob¬
servation cars, in each of which two
| children can he comfortably seated.
The entire train, consisting of engine,
tender, four observation cars, one box
car, and a caboose, is but twenty-nine
feet in length. Six gallons of water in
the tender tank and five ln 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.
