WHEATFIELD.

Mr. John Collins of Chicago Heights, is visiting relatives at this place this week. Miss Rviia Newcomb of Barkley tp.. was tin-guest of Miss Della Harlow of this place, lust Sunday. Janies Hazelett of this place, made his departure for Dakota last Monday, w here he expects to remain for some time. The ball game played here between the Chronic Kickers aud the Professional Grumblers last Sunday resulted in the Kickers seoiiping the Grumblers up. 17 to 5. Ask Mr. C —- why the dog has got to following him home when he goes out north, aiid why he is opposed to red hair? We do not like red hair ourself, but would rather have that than none at all. We see by what Mr. John Ade says that this part of the country in 1838-39 was settled by Indians called the Pottow attomies. We will say that no longer than about three I years ago there was a tribe here of the same name, but these so-called Indians were not of a very wild nature and w e believe that this tribe all reside at this place yet and are good citizens. We presume if the Coal Road officials would unburden themselves and load the cross-eyed "gentleman" of the Telephone down with an annual pass that he would have no further cause to growl against that corporation. They w ill hardly do this, though, for it- is not customary we understand, for railroads to give transportation on advertising to transcient new spapers edited and published by tourist prints. W. B. McNeil, who has been sick for some time, is able to be out again. He was shooting sparrows for pastime, the other day. He took aim at a sparrow and fired, the ball glanced and went into H. Clark's saloon, doing no damage to any one. At that a man came running out aud told Mac that he had shot a man. Mac went to see the man claimed to have been shot and passed his opinion that the man was only about three-fourths shot. We understand that some of the boys have agreed to furnish the follow ing articles opposite their names to a certain young man if he will get married 1 Alex Jensen. 1 table and 12 chairs. Charley Gerber, license and justice-fee. Parry Wyant, stove, Fred Lidtka, 25 yards carpet, Edd Pinter, set of dishes and 30 lbs flour, Harry Rem ley, stove, 8. 0. Bunch, bible.

Ed Smith, three bushels of potatoes. Dr. Schrayer, pug dog. We believe most of these articles to be acceptable to any one. and boys, if your offer is accepted, you should be us good as your word. You may in some other way want to be favored some time, yourselves. The JasperC'ounty Telephone Co., want a 25-year franchise here. This should not be granted unless the company will pay a reasonable sum for it. Twenty-five years is a long time, and many changes will take place in and about Wheatfield ere one-fourtfy that elapses. The day has passed for giving away valuable franchises. Our people should insist on some remuneration for those which it may have to dispose of. They should remember that Remington insisted on having pay for a 15-year franchise from this same company, and that they were finally given $175 in cash and u free phone during the life of tne franchise. Let’s go Remington one better and charge an annual pole tax, then us the lines are extended to meet the increasing business of the town we will receive more revenue. Don’t give away this franchise, and don’t grant one for more than 10 or 15 year s time.

The hum of the threshing machine can be heard now. The reported yield of oats is 60 bushels per acre. The happiest man around Sharon is G. G. Garrison, all on account of the arrival of a 10 lb. girl at his home. x Oats cutting and hay making are a thing of the past now. and the farmers are busy taking care of the grain.

Wilford Daley gave the last of his report of the Detroit. Y. P. S. C. E. Convention last Sunday evening proving that the society made no mistake w hen they chose him as their delegate.

The much talked of McKinley prosperity has reached us for sure. Everything the farmer is compelled to buy is still going higher while the price of the farm products is getting lower. The Temperance lecture by Rev. Bonseib. on Wednesbay evening of last week was well attended and left an impression on the minds of our people that sometniug other than the present system of fostering the liquor traffic is needed. Miss Stella Miller was bitten by a kissing bug at her home four miles south of here last Thursday afternoon, while sleeping in a hammock, and is reported us being in a dangerous condition-at present’. Several of the bngsjiuvi- been seen around here— - Everything is quiet since the May-Dluzak affair took place. Previous to that there were numerous crises of petty thieving, but poultry roosts and granaries have not suffered of late. It must have ordained a quietus in our surrounding territory, at least the people hope for it, anyway.

SUBMARINE EUROPE.

Ages Ago the British Channel Was But a River Course. If England and France are not always at one now, there was a time when they were physically united, ac- ' cording to a map shown by Prof. Edward Hull at the Royal Geographical [ society, where he read a paper On i “Sub-Oceanic Features of the Coast iof Western Europe.” Among these features he described a deep canyon river course in the center of the English channel, running from the , Straights of Dover westward for a distance of 70 miles, known as “Hurd’s Deep,” Commander Hurd having discovered it while making soundings I for the admiralty. This gorge has a ! depth of 200 to 250 feet below the bed of the channel. It was kept open by | the force of the waters of the English channel as they rose and felt Very curious features were observed in the case of the Adour in France. The ravine through which it flowed at some ancient date was discoverable for a distance of GO or 70 miles from the ! coast, and about 50 miles out it divided, forming, as it were, an island, 9,000 feet down under the sea level. At one time there must have been some magnificent cascades in these gorges, as the declines in t-heir courses amounted to as much as 1 1,000 feet in a mile. Undoubtedly at one time the land extended far out into what is now the sea, and was several thousand feet higher than it is to-day, but the action of the water had worn the earth away. In the Bay of Biscay, 40 miles off Cape Pieto, is a scastack 200 fathoms below the surface of the sea, measuring on the land side 4,800 feet, and and on ftl« other side 7.800 feet from crown to base.—London Telegraph.

A COURAGEOUS GIRL.

Exciting Adventure of Jennie Perry with a Wildcat. Jennie Perry, a 16-year-old girl, the daughter of Charlie Perry, living a couple of miles northwest of North Yakima, had a terrible experience one day recently. The young woman had a couple of pet ducks, and, hearing a* commotion, she went into the yard and found one of the ducks in the claws of a veritable wildcat. With the one determination in her mind that the intruder must be killed, she seized a stick of stovewood and let drive at the “vannint,”. who, letting go of the duck, fell over as if dead. Miss Perry, seeing her little brother open the door, ran to him, and, shoving him inside, grabbed that woman’s true weapon, a broom, and cautiously approached where the animal lay to see if she really had dispatched him. All at once the beast sprang at her throat, when she delivered a stunning blow between its eyes and then< jumped with both feet with an energy born of desperation on the prostrate wildcat until life was extinct. Then, as she returned to the house, and womanlike consulted her mirror, she exclaimed: “Why, I’m as white as a sheet!” “Well, ! declare!” said her mother, “Jennie, you’ve made yourself famous. You’ve killed a wildcat!” And so it was that the beast, driven by hunger from adjacent foothills, was despoiled of its feast and its life at the same ,time by a Yakima girl’s undaunted heroism.—North Yakima (Wash.) Herald.
