By-the yesy, 7 vf.ndc wltti It. is that smcEi so Blwog abrat a roan? Is it his IxhIt or his breath.? X hav never boen We to make oat, TavA I 'saw somewliero the . ether thvy that in the-daek decoys the man who is workings tbt- dnet holds a little xcee of horning turf before his mouth, ant? tluvt if he' "lots this they cannot inuell ban, wbuth looks usthongli i(s weraie.hR'Bi4f Wclh Trhtover it was :ilout ine that attracted his attention, the rhinoceros soon smelt me. And within half a minute after the puff of wind had i a? d ho vas rjp and turning ronnd to get his hand np-wind. There he stood tor a few seconds and sniffed, K)d then he began to move, first of all - at l trot; then, 88 the scent grew sionger, at - a fnrions gallop. On he came, snorting like a runaway engine, with his tail stack straight us in the air; if he had seen, me lis down there he could not have made a better Mne. It was rather nervona work, I can tell yon, lying thc-re -waiting for his onslonght, tor . helooku." hke a mountain oi flmh, I determined, however, not to fire till I could plainly see his eye, for I tbjfek that rale always gives one the right dittance for big game. So I rested my rifle on the ant-heap and waited for hina, kneeling. At hat, when he was about forty yartls away, I saw that the time had come, and aiming straightfor the chest, I polled. 7 Thud went the heavy bullet, and with ' a tremesdbaa snort, over rolled the rhinocerons beneath its shock, fast like a shot rabbit Bnt if I had thought that he was done for 'I was mistaken, Car in another second he wss up and coming at me as hard as ever, only with his taad held low. I waited till he was within ten yards, in the hope that he wonld expose his chest, but be would do nothing of the sort. So I jnst had fib fine at his head with the left barrel and take my chance. Well, es luck would have it, of course the animal pat his horn in the way of the bnllet, which cut clean throngh it about three inches alio the root and then glanced off into spaoe. After that things got rather serious. My gun was empty and the rliiticceros was rapidly arriving so r- rajiidly, indeed, that I came to the tun"tsluiion that I had better moko way for htm. Accordingly I jumped to my feet and fan to tbe right as hard as X could go. As I did so he arrived lull tilt, knocked. my friendly ant-heap flat, .and for the second time that day went a wont magnificent eropper. Tins gave me a low seconds' start and I ran clown wind my word, I did -run! Unfortunately however, my modest retreat vrte observed and the rhraoeercs, ' as 4oon as he got his legs again, set to work to son after me. Now no man on earth can ran as fast as an irritated rhinoceros can gallop, and I knew that he anust soon catch me up. Bnt having some slight experience of this sort of thing, I luelcilv for myself, kept my head, and asl fled I managed to open my rifle, get the old cartridges out and put two fresh ones in. Todo thial had to Steady my pace a little, and by the time that I had. snapped the rifle to I heard him snorting and thundering away within a few paces of my back. I stopped, and as I did so rapidly cocked the rifle, and slewed round upon my heeL By this time the brute was within six or seven yards of me, bnt lnekily liii head was op. I lifted the rifle and fired at him. It was a snap, shot, bnt the bnllet struck him in the chest within three inches of the first and found its way into Ins kmgs. It did not stop hiir, however; so all I could do wfi to bound to one side, which I did with, snrpraiig activity and as he brushed past ine fire the other barrel into his side. That did for him. The ball passed in. behind the shoulder and right through his heart. He felt over -onto has side, gave one most awful squeal a doz:n pigs could sot have made such a noise and promptly died, keeping his wicked eyes wide open, alt the time. As for me, I blew my nose, and going np to ihe rhinoceros, sat on his head, and reflected hhat I had bad a capital morning's sbxting. . MUdtT Hwj' gartf nnr nlortj.

A few people wore allowed to see him, and with them he chatted cheerfully. A supper of delicacies was set before him at 7 o'clock. He invited a newspaper man who was present, to join him in his last supper, sad the two sat at the table and talked lor ten minutes, bnt not a morsel passed Honrun's lins. He had stolidly refused the ministrations of elenrvmea who called to see him, and whtfe refraining always from talking on religion, ho tins been regarded as a free thinker. After supper he was left alone with tbe gnard, the warden doclintne to allow any one tj see nun. The prison officials had doubled the guard on the walls and at rlt the gates, so that a strong besieging, force couid .have been withstood. At tan minnteK after one the warden informed Morean that the time had come for him to execute the sentence, and the party started from the cell into the execution room. Horaan was as cool as he had been all day, and walked npthe scaffold with a arm step. On the scaffold he ssmI' he had no report to make. The noWe was adjusted, and at laff the trap fell, Morgan saying just before, "Good-bye, Nellie," reforringto tf-.e Cleveland woman. Nolllowrev. who wab his former mistress.

"Blinky Morgan wrote a letter to the warden of the Columbus penitentiary, Hon. E. G. Coffin, thanking him for the kindness andiittention shown him while under Ids ears. Ho continued to declare his innocence, and sayf time will eventually prove it. If another hearing, had been granted him he could have brought witnesses, he says, who wonld show that he was in Philadelphia when the rescue wss made. His real name was divulged in a letter he wrote som time ago to ax old chum in New York.

The Uiyh li.-ouso feature of tho law wa-f declared valid by a unanimous vote, but the couit vns divided ou the local option feature, ti e voto .standing K to T ill favor of its constitutionality. Tho court upholds the classification pf licenses defined in the act on tho ground that the basis is a substantia! one, and beyond all fjueslion as to its legality. In discussing the local optioi branch of the litw tho court said that thero was no express provisiou in tho Const itution that legislative power shonld not b delegated. Tho mode proscribed by tie I tut and Tuvorn act for granting licenses has been declared valid; that the Legislature has a right to grant to municipal corporations tho power to rcgnlato and prohibit Iho salo of liquor; and tho Logislaturo has power lo puss a prohibitory law.

"GOD BLESS YOU, B0T&" John Aodejson, tho Hero of the Nebraska Well Episode, Finally Besetted.

He Relates a Thrilling Story f Ws Feelings While Buried Alive. (Johnstown (Neb.) special. John Anderson, who was buried in a caving well, nciu Johnstown, Nob., end was rescued after ton days of torturing uncertainty, tells a thrilling story of his experience. "The man who hoards me for the uexttan days," says Anderson, "will not got rich very fast. What hare I to say about my experience? A good deal. It wss awful. July 19 1 n-cut into R. H. Hall's well to clean it out and repair the curbing. Tho well, which was 150 foot deept'Was a very ditugorsus one and I Oltas though I ought not to work in it. Fifty feet down was whero the curbing needod the most repairing, as at this point the old curbing had givon away and about afoot of sand around the well bad caved in. After taking tho measurement t came out, put lay curbing together and lowered it, supported by four ropes. Of course this curbing was smaller than the other and would have to bo made fast. This I did by going helcwsnd nailing two by four inch stuff on the old curbing. In this new curbing I had laid throe boards across tho bottom, letting them rest on the old curbing, thereby making ft box. I Was in this lux stuiBng hay in behind, preparatory to filling in the small cavity With straw. "When I was tibont ready to leave the well I Baw it beginning to cave about mo. Jumping into the bucket I called for those abovo to pull me up quick, but before a move could bo made the sand and boards had closed in on mo and I was a prisoner. For tho first few minutes of my imprisonment words oannet express my feelings. That my time had come I did not doubt in the least, and tho thought of snob a horrible death was terrible. After collecting my thoughts a little I discovered I was held fast in tho bucket by two or three boards, but by a hard struggle I managed to extricate myself from this position and' dropped down into the bottom. From tho bottom of the box it was three and a half feet to the boards above, which in falling had foimed themselves into an arch aud protected me from the sand. " The box was now only about two feet square, and not room enough for mo to stand orcct. I could get on mykntfes or. sit down, buthad to stay in a crouching position the wholo time I was in tbe well. "About the first three days I got along very well, but after that I began to Want water badly. Tho fourth day when it rained I heard what I thought was water i slowly dripping. Fooling around I found it, and holding my mouth open man-; aged to this way lo got about a dozan j drops of water, which cave mo much re lief. I had no difficulty in breathing until the well below me came so near being filled by sand occasionally coming in, caused by the diggers above. I bad breathed the air over so much that it had become impure, causing mo to feci a smothering sensation, but about this time tho rescuers got near enough to mo ,to let in air from above. " ' "By having a good snpply of chowiug tobacco I did not suffer so much for food as might have been expected. From tbs beginning 1 could hear considerable that was said and done above. I heard tho wagon whon it started to town for lumber and heard some ono say the man is dead and. tho order givon to try to pull my box out. When thoy began to pull I knew there was groat danger 6t the boards giving way and crushing me, and fo- my own safety and to give ovidouco of being alivo I cut tho ropes and heard the exciting talk that prevailed whon it was discovered that I was ulivo. It was music to me, and from that time on I wag hopeful of being rescued. -Abo at tho sixth day I felt something crawling on my hand and found it to he a btuo-bottlo fly. I thought by this that an opening had been mado from above. X was- correct, for soon Honry Archer had tho opening largo enough to pass a wet rag to me. In reaching it to mo it became covered with sand, but no honey over tasted better than that wet rag. Soon a bottle of water and a piece of bread were given rue and I was truly thankful. "From this time on I began to gain strength, and by helping my rescuers the time passod quicker than one would suppose. When my feet, which are badly swollen, aro better, and I dare eat a square meal, I will be all right. I am very thankful to my frieuds for thoir persistent efforts to rescue me. ' When reaching the top of tho ground, Anderson shook hands with his roscuors and tried to thank them, but could only say, "God bless you, boys," when his voice was choked. Thero wore 200 people presont, and thore wero ve;y few dry eyes among them. He was at onee carried to "the farm-house, and placed under the core of two physicians. They say ho is doing as well as could lo expeotod, and that he will soon be rcstorod to health. The sympathy naturally called out by n situation such as Anderson's was intensified in the county wheio, by force of oir- i oumstancos, cvory settler is a noighbor, nnd for ten days business in Johnstown and Aiusworth and on tbe farms was practically suspended. So iutouso was tho excitement and airxioty that farmers loft tlieir fields nnd murchuuts their stores aud iloekod to the seeuo ot tho accident. Every day supplies wore sent to the workers from private residences and stores, and the women were unceasing in their kindly offices. But although the rescuing party did all iu thoir power, Anderson would never have beou saved hut for his own efforts. He planned and directed the work during the last two days, and was unceasing iu bis own efforts and encouraged tho men by bis cheerful words when they wero almost ready to despair. A HEROIC CHILD. lie Kilt One Burglar anil Wounds Another with a Revolver, Mrs. Jane Thompson lives on a farm noar Altoona, Pa., with hor 10-yoar-old son and a hired man and his wifo. Mrs. Thompsou js woalthy, and usually keeps a considerable sum or money iu the house. It wns this fact, piobably, that iuducod two thieves to visit the premises the ether night. Tbe hirod man and his wife were absent. The thieves obtaiuod entrance by smashing a wiudow. Mrs. Thompson, hearing the noise, awoke her son, gave him a revolver, and plnoed him st the head of Ihe stairs. The two thioves approached together. When within a few feet of him the boy fired two sl-o's in rapid sueeession. One of tbe thieves fell dead, and the other was woundod, as was ascertained from marks of blood along tho path by which he fled. After the shooting Mrs. Thompson fainted. Th young horo bus received many congratulations for Mb bravory. Tho dead thief has not boon recognized. Ho is supposed to have boon a trump. Ttoiiblng tho Dead.
