A Typical South African Store. O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sunday's River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twentyfive miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty mil -s, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain’s remedies. All testily to their value in a household where a doctor’s advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by Long.

BAD ASSAULT AT NEWLAND.

’ James Blake, the 19 year old son of Al Blake, formerly of Rensselaer, is confined in jail here in defoult of SSOO bonds, charged with assault with intent to kill Henry Tinder, aged 52, a section hand on the Gifford road with whom young blake was working. The assault occurred last Friday and arose over Blake being discharged. He laid his discharge, it seems, to something Tinder had told the boss, and picked up the handle of a track jack, an oak piece of wood some three or four feet long, and when Tinder was bent over at his work on the track., struck him a tremendous blow upon the head, felling him to the ground and rendering him unconscious until Sunday morning, when he recovered consciousness to some extent, but has again relapsed into unconsciousness, it was reported Thursday, and fears of his denth are entertained.

After the assault young Blake made his escape and was finally captured by J. C. Mitchell, a member of the Horsethief Detective society residing in White county, some miles northwest of Reynolds, and was brought here and jailed. He stated when arrested that he intended to skip to California as soon as the affair quieted down enough so that he could get away, but thought to make the attempt at once would result in his being nabbed, therefore he got out in the country, nearer home where he was not known, as being the safest place. The Blake boy was arrested here about three years ago for breaking into a Monon freight car and stealing a lot of candy, and was sent to the reform school. He was parolled from that institution some time ago. Should Tinder die, which at this time appears altogether probable, it will go pretty hard with the boy.

WALLICK SHOOTS.

Former Rensselaer Resident Goes Gunning for Human Game in White County. J. Y. Wallick,who came here some years ago from Urbana, 111., and resided here for several years, removing to Fowler about two years ago, and later to near Monticello, shot and badly wounded a man over there Monday night. The following account of the shooting is taken from the Monticello Herald: “The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Y. Wallick, two and onehalf miles north-west of town, was the scene of a shooting affair late Monday evening which resulted in the arrest Tuesday of Wallick on an affidavit filed by Elmer Reynolds charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill. Wallick was brought to town by Deputy Marshall Rothrock and Constable Bernethy and given a bearing Tueshay before ’Squire Ross.” “Wallick had gone to Illinois on a business trip and was expected to return home Tuesday noon but missed the train at Reynolds. Afterwards he and two other gentlemen who were returning to Monticello, hired a rig and drove home arriving, it is supposed, about half past seven o’clock in the evening. At the preliminary hearing Tuesday it was shown that a party of the neighbors had gathered at the Wallick home to spend the evening. The party was composed of May and George Wysong and their uncle, Elmer Reynolds, Mrs. Wallick and her daughter. Gertie, and their hired hand, James Hsrt and possibly one or; two others. Sometime between eight and nine o’clock Reynolds! was out in the yard at the rear of ■ the house when a man, whom he i afterwards identified as Wallick, | appeared and fired at him with a revolver. Reynolds started to run across the yard when four more shots were fired at him. The first shot slightly wounded Reynolds in thn right arm. Reynolds went to Eph Wysong’s near by where he made his home, and then start! d to town with George Wysong to get his wound dressed. They had gone but a short distance from the house when they were find upon from behind some brush and witnesses saw Wallick walk away with a gun. The charge of shot struck Reynolds in the right hand. The shot was fired at point blank range. A little later a shot was fired through a window at the Wysong home. After hearing the eyiden.ee ’Squire Ross bound Wallick over to court under bond of SI,OOO, which he gave that evening. It is alleged that more sensational discoveries will be made when the case comes up for trial. Wallick’s actions are supposed to have been prompted by jealously.” Wallick, it seems, is insanely jealous of his wife, who is much younger than he, and it will be remembered pulled a revolver on a couple of men here about two years ago and threatened to shoot them, and no doubt would had not one of them taken advantage of the “gun” being pointed at the other and knocked Wallick down and disarmed him.

ROSE LAWN CATTLE THIEVES.

S. G. Anderson, formerly of Rensselaer, now near Rose Lawn, Charlie Sprague, aged 19, and Mandel Ward, aged 15, also of near Rose Lawn, were arrested in Chicago last Saturday for the theft of 15 fat steers from Mrs. Hixon’s herd of cattle near Rose Lawn. They had driven the stolen cattle through to Chicago and the theft was discovered the next day after they were taken, and Chicago cattle buyers notified to be on the watch for them. When they arrived with the steers they were nabbed. Henderson escaped arrest for awhile by flight, and the boys put spurs to their horses and fled also, being pursued eight miles before finally captured. Henderson .wanted to lift a mortgage on his home, it is said, and conceived the idea of stealing the cattle and disposing of. them for that purpose, induceing the boys to assist him.

ARRESTED FOR BASTARDY.

John Daugherty, a well known young farmer residing with his wife two miles south-east of town, was arrested last week, Thursday, on paternity charge, brought by Miss Dessie Turner, who alleges that she is but 15 years of age and that she resides at Remington. The girl was employed as a domestic in Daugherty’s home last summer. She alleges that it was at band concert in Rensselaer, Augtfst 22, that the act which caused her undoing wascommited, although they had had intercourse the day previous. The preliminary examination was held before Esq. Churchill, at which the girl was asked if another party might not be responsible for her condition, but she stoutly maintained that it was no one else but Daugherty The latter was bound over to the circuit court on S4OO bonds which was furnished by his father, T. R. Dougherty, and Chas. Phegley. The girl stated that she had only been informed of her condition about a week previous to her filing the affidavit, by Dr. Landon of Remington, to whom she went for treatment. The excitement incident to traveling and change of food and water often brings on diarrhoea, and for this reason no one should leave home without a bot>le of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

PUT HIS EYE ON IT.

There i 9 a 6torv about Walker Freese Smith at Tuxedo which is rather amusing. Mr. Smith is one of the few New York men who wear a monocle. In his case —and he is always ready to admit it—it is arranged to cleverly conceal a glass eye, Mr. Smith having had the misfortune to lose one of his eyes years ago. When golf was in the height of its popularity, Mr. Smith went in for all the rigors of the game. H® played under an instructor. This man was rather insistent upon his pupil following every rule of the game, lie was constant in his instruction, “Put your eve on th® ball.” At last Mr. Smith, after making several flukes in his strokes, was reminded again, “Put your eye on th® ball.” Suiting the action to th® word and taking the meaning literally, Smith, to the astonishment of the instructor and the horror of th® caddie, removed his monocle, and then, taking out his glass eye, deliberately stuck it on the ball and, turning around exclaimed: “Now, there! Is that all right?* •—New York Times.

Bigger Grain Crops Possible.

The department of agriculture is trying to push plant breeding in this country. It is a branch of farming work that is pursued much more diligently in Europe than in the United States, and if it wers carried on as it should be on this side of the water most important benefits would accrue to the producers of our crops. Only within the last few years has it been realized that plant life is to a wonderful extent subject to man’s control. Hs is almost able to act the part of ft creator in the vegetable world, so greatly is it in his power to modify species by hybridizing and by artificial selection. The government is already conducting such work on quite an extensive scale.—Saturday Evening Post.

Melting Iron In Five Seconds.

Iron is said to have been melted in five seconds in a recent experiment carried out by Mr. Louis Dreyfus at Mr. T. A. Edison’s laboratory at Orange, X. J. Mr. Dreyfus represented the Goldschmidt Chemical Thermo Industrie of Essen, Germany. He covered an iron wrench in a crucible with a secret composition and added a small quantity of powdered aluminium. The wrench, which was six inches long and.one-half inch thick, was melted in five seconds after ths mixture was set on fire, the temperature being estimated at 3,000 degrees C. The process is suggested as being applicable to ths melting of rails and pipes.
