Within the past year aid has been given to two or three large clay factories, and the Midland railroad is asking for $23,000 subsidy. A desire to secure the car-works may defeat the subsidy, especially in view of the fact ttat the Fort Wayne, Ten Haute & Southern, and the Chicago, Paxton & Cayuga roads are coming without subsidy, as indeed the Midland itself may. All the iron foundries that have been located here have prospered. They have built up an extensive trade and are paying investments. Being in the fuel belt explains this.

The well is located in the basement of his store, and the water had become so strong of coaloil that it could not be used.

Torn to Pieces by a Silver Tip, lie Travel 120 Miles Overland to See a Doctor. New York Bun. , "if it is true, os I read it in "the newspapers, that Jesse Bell, of Wind River, is dead," said C. P. Lorimer, of the Helen No. 3 Mining Company, "then the nerviest man that ever prospected, killed bears, and hunted Indians in the wilds of Wyoming, or any other wilds, is dead. The first time 1 ever saw Jesse Bell he had just completed a journey of 120 miles with his upper jaw and part of his nose and cheek gone, half of his scalp torn off, one foot crushed and mangled, his right arm badly lacerated, and three ribs broken. The journey had taken two days and a half and two nights and a half. It began at the mouth of Horse creek, on the Green river, and ended at Fort Bridger. 1 was at the fort when Jesse was brou ght in by his partner, Arkansas Bill, and another man, a stranger. 1 never saw such a sight as he- was. No explanations were asked for or iven until Jesse was placed safely in the hospital. Then the commandant said to Arkansas Bill: "Indians?' No replied Bill; 'bears.' "And then Bill told the story of one of the most terrific bear fights that any man in that region of big aud fierce boars and intrepid bear-hunters had ever heard of. Jesse and Bill had been prospecting, hunting and trapping about the headwaters of Snake, Wind and Green rivers for some time. They found no ore or sign of any, and the hunting and trapping were none of the best They worked their way down through McDougall's gap, struck the headwaters of Horse creek, which they followed to its mouth. There they struck great signs of otter, beaver and other fur animals, put up a cabin and settled down for a few weeks' trapping. One day they saw a herd of antelope and started out to bag one or two of the shy little deer. The antelope led them toward a high blurl. and they followed the game for eight miles without being able to get a shot The antelope finally passed around one edge of the bluff, and the two hunters began crawling along the bluff, out of sight of the antelope, with .the hope of getting within range. Jesse Bell was in the lead, and as he turned a sharp corner of rock he came face to face with a big she silver-tip bear, a yearling cub and two spring cubs. They wero not ten feet away, and they saw Jessee as soon as he saw them. They wore in a little hollow, and the position and place Jesso was in made it a dangerous spot either for an attack on the bears or for defense against them. Arkansas Bill had crept to Jeste's side before the latter could tell him what was ahead. He took in tho situation at once and jumped back. Before Jesse could follow him the old bear, her blood being op, made a rnshfor him. Jesso fired and broke the bear's shoulder. Then he jumped aside, but the bear was too close to him, and she caught him in the side. Both went down in a heap, the bear falling on top, at Arkansas Bill a feet The bear closed her great jaws on Jesse's side. . Her upper teeth were buried in the nesb, cracking three ribs like pipo-stems. Fortunately her under teeth struck a heavy leather bullet pouch that Jesse carried slung over his shoulder by a strap. That prevented the enormous jaws from closing together in Jesse's side and tearing a large portion of it away. All that Jesse could do was to give tho bear a tremendous kick in the stomach. At the same instant Arkansas Bill fired at the bear. The ball entered back of her shoulder. "The bear evidently thought the pain from the bullet was the result of Jesse's kick, for she turned and caught his foot just below the ankle and crushed it with one savage' bite. Not satisfied with that she bit and chewed at the foot and leg and tore away tire tlesb at every bite, while Jesse was struggling to get his revolver out of his belt All this time Arkansas Bill was loading his rifle, breech-loaders not yet having come in use out in that conntry. Jesse's itmgffles to turn and get his revolver caused the bear to wheel about again. She made a grab for Jesse's head. Bill had his gun loaded by this time and sent another bullet into the tough old bear. This toppled her over, ami Jesse raised partially to his feet and got his revolver in his left hand. The bear recovered herself and struck Jesse a blow with her paw on the head and face that knocked him down again. He held on to his revolver, and put a ball into the bear's body. Before he could shoot again the bear seized his arm between her teeth and crunched it clear through the bone. Jesse now lay so that Bill could not lire without endangering his life. Bill shouted to him to move his head. Jesse did so, but the instant he moved it the bear snapped at it quickly, as Jesse lay half face upward, and

closed down on his head clear to the upper

jaw. Jesse, in describing nis situation afterward, said that he could look runt down the bears throat But Arkansas Bill was equal to the occasion, and placing the muzzle of his rifle at the bear's ear. tired.' The bear sprang back. She did not take the trouble, though, to loosen her hold on Jesse's head and face, and tore away the upper jaw, part of the nose, one cheek and a piece of the scalp nine inches long and five wide. The hear fell over against Arkansas Bill dead. Her great body earn td him down with nertand pinned him fast by both legs. He extricated himself with difficulty, and limped to the aid of his companion. Jesse was sitting np, a ghastly spectacle. His jaw was hanging by a strip of flesh to his cheek. Bill cut it loose. While he was dressing Jesse's torn scalp, the yearling bear, which, with the two cubs, had been silent spectators of the fight, concluded to take it up where the old bear had been forced to leave it off. and made a savage rush upon the two hunters. Arkansas Bill had a lively tussle with the young silver tip before be managed to kill it with his six-shooter, every chamber being emptied before the bear gave up. "Jesse waited without a groan or a word until Bill had finished the young bear and returned to the dressing of his wounds. Having fixed them np the best he could with the means at hand, Bill took Jesse on his back and started for camp. . It was late in the afternoon, and it was important that camp should be reached before dark, for black wolves were numerous in the hills, and both Jesse and Bill knew they would follow their trail if darkness overtook them. Some idea of Arkansas Bill's capacity may' be had when it is known that Jesse Bell was a man six feet four in his stocking feet, and made in proportion. The camp was eight miles away, and the way was extremely rough. Bill reached the camp with his burden a short time after dark, and was nor. any too soon, for behind them, and not far h way, they began to hear the cries of pursuing wolves. r? ' "When they reached camp Bill found their cabin occupied by a prospector who had stumbled in the chelter and entered. He was a timely visitor. Together Bill and the stranger fixed up a bed of buckskin and fur on two tepee poles, whfch they fastened to a pony, Indian fashion, and, placing Jesse on the drag, started at once for the nearest place where medical and surgical aid could be had, Fort Bridger, 120 miles away, through a rough and unbroken wilderness. They traveled day and night stoppingonly to bathe Jesse's wounds at thojriverTT and creeks thev had tocrosa. They ate as they traveled, and on the afternoon of the third day they came into Fort Bridger with their terribly wounded charge. On all that memorable journey Jesse Bell never once complained of sufleriug either from pain or hardship. He was placed in the hospital, and the surgeon told Arkansas Bill that he could never survive his injuries. But he did and was out in a month, sadly and permanently .disfigured, but the same tough and intrepid mountaineer that ho was before his great bear fight" A Leper Village in Colombia. London Dally News. A strange community is that of Agua di Dios, the leper village in Colombia, as described by our consul at Bogota. Situated at about fourteen hundred feet above the sea level, with a dry, sandy soil, and a temEerature of 82 to 85 Fahrenheit, this spot as been chosen for the lazaretto by tho government on account of its ancient reputation for the cure of leprosy. Some 520 sullerers from this terrible visitation dwell here, and form about one-third of the population; but the most remarkable fact regarding the settlement is that lepers and healthy persons are described as living on terms of perfect intimacy, there being no specific leper quarter, though every house in the village stands apart in a garden. Mr. Wheeler states thr.t there is no case on' record of the disease having been contracted here by contagion. Even where lepers have married healthy persons, the husband or wife has never been known to take it from the other. On the other baud, the mournful fact is admitted that children born of such unions are generally aiuicted. ' Value of Creeds Rightly Uted. Rev. George Dana Boaxdman, in January Forum. Creeds, notwithstanding their stifling tendency, are necessary, at least, in this world, to the preservation of truth. They serve as receptacles for its custody, vehicles for its propagation. Viewed in this light, the world owes an incalculable debt to such profound systematizers as Athanasins, and Augustine, and Calvin. In fact, constructed as we are, we cannot do without forms. What skin is to wine, that creed is to truth. If, then, on the one hand, truth cannot do without creed, and if,' on the other hand, truth tends to burst creed, and creed to strangle truth, what are we to do? Simply this; put new wine into fresh skins. In other words, recognize the principle of growth, and adjust creed to it. Let us not, then, stereotype our conception of truth. Let us give ourconcentions chance to grow. m Women Less Sinful than Men. New York Sun. The snperiority of the moral fibre of the feminine sex to that of the masculine is again shown by the report of the board of police justices for this year. According to the report the number of men (85,069 ) arrested for violations of law was more than three times as great as the number of women (19,091). Tho statistics printed by the board are helpful to the formation of opinions upon several questions that are often brought under debate. ENTERTAIMENT8 TO COME.

Tho business at the theaters yesterday was not a disappointment to the managers, who had expected a generous attendance both afternoon and evening. They certainly -Jiave no reason to feel other than gratified at the encouraging manner in which'1 the new year was inaugurated.." "The Clemenceau Case," at thd Grand, was received with some show 5 of favor. It appears to be rather a hasty dramatization of Dumas's story, and is strong at two or three stages. The' jthctne is an unpleasant one, in which, as is generally known, immorality plays tho prominent part Immorality, in this instance, ispersonified by a very goodlooking woman, whose handsome figure is displayed for a few seconds, in white tights, on a pedestal, and, dnring the remainder of tho play, is robed fn exquisitely-fitting gowns, which are a delight to feminine eyes. Miss Laura Biggar, who plays this role of Iza, displays considerable dramatio talent, which can, however, in her present character elicit little if any admiration. It is one of those parts in witnessing the enactment of which one is unable to forget, even for a moment, its utter lack of any claim to admiration or sympathy, though acknowledging it is well played. - Another excellently acted, hut altogether disgusting character, is that of Iza's mother, tho Countess Dombronowska, taken by Miss Genevieve Beaman. The picture of a mother who not only planned her daughter's infidelity, but aids, encourages and glories in it, with the sole thought of profiting by it, is, to put it mildly, not a pleasing one. Miss Beaman heroically undergoes the ordeal of portraying this typo of woman, and - if any artistic merit can attach to such a portrayal, she is entitled to it Charles B. Welles puts enough fire into the part of Pierre Clemenceau to enlist the sympathies of the audience. He is Eartioularly good in the fourth act, where e discovers Iza's infidelity. The scene is one of much strength. M. J. Jordan is deserving of commendation for his work as Constantin. One of the strongest situations of the performance is the accusation - in the third act, and the audience thoroughly enjoys having some one appear at last who has full and accurate knowledge of Iza's misdeeds, and who seems disposed to make that fair but frail young person suffer for them. Miss Josephine Laurens is satisfactory as Madame Clemenceau, and the remainder of tho people are quite up to the not difficult requirements of their several characters. x The closing scene of the piece, in which Pierre strangles his wife across a table and in full view of the sympathizing audience, is rather more of a satisfaction than it would seem to be. If she was put to death out of sight, as it were, the audience would never feel quite certain as to her fate, for she certainly appears altogether too wicked to die. "The Clemenceau Case'' will be repeated to-night and to-morrow, both afternoon and evening. . English's .oPERA-nousr. "master and MAN." The melodramatic attraction at English's proved one of an excellent stripe, and the audiences yesterday were well pleased with it "Master and Man" is, in brief, the story of a long-persecuted man who had unfortunately antagonized a wealthy and unscrupulous individual by marrying a woman upon whom the latter had centered his evil affections. After a seriea of misfortunes the long-suffering hero finds peace, happiness and wealth, and the drama concludes with him in the bosom of his family, enjoying life, while the old, familiar, "even-handed justice" is being meted out to those who had endeavored to compass his ruin. The play is well staged, the fourth-act setting being especially excellent It represents the interior of an iron-works by night and tho glow of the furnace adds greatly to the realism of the scene. It is here that one of the best situations of the drama occurs. Dominick Murray, in the villainous character of Humpy Logan, the foreman of the works, is caught by several infuriated striking mill men, whose enemy he has always been, and who are about to - throw him in the furnace when he is rescued by Jack Walton (Ralph Delmore.) The abject terror of the intended victim is admirably represented by Mr. Murray. His appeals for mercy are strongly made, but the etlec t of the scene would be enhanced by the presenoe of a few more strikers. Mr. Murray's dialect is clever as ever, and he plays the part to perfection. Ralph Deltnoro is strong and manly in the leading role. Jack Waltou. As the unfortunate and revenge-seeking Jim Burleigh, Palmer Collins (iocs some good work. W. S. St Clair, as Robert Carlton, is the master villain of the piece, though the bard work in that line is done by Mr. Murray. Mr. St Clair is quite as disagreeable as is required by tho character he-enacts. The comedy element of the
