At the pleasant, home of Chas. Crea

most enjoyable time was had by many
of the young people on . last Saturday
evening, who had gathered to spend
the evening at the kind request of the
host and hostess. We are informed by
one who was present that the road over
in that section is a very difficult one to
travel, especially if you are not very
familiar with the same, some of whom
on this occosion were not, and it is
claimed that one traveler on horseback
fell over the animals head while pass
mg down the steep . encline, bat was
not injured because he lit on the soft
est spot in the road of course not
his head, and another in passing around
some of the sharp comers met himself
coming back. Now we are not authority
for this. I know not what the truth may
be, I simply tell it as it was told to me,
At about the hour of twelve, alter a
most enjoyable evening at various
games, the tea ture hour "of the even
ing, especially if one happened to miss
their supper, was announced, and all
were invited to the heavily loaded
dining table, where each and every one
did ample justice to fill the inner man,
after which all departed home wishing
that the evening was many times as
long. Following were those present:

Did You See it?
On last Sunday morning considerable
excitement prevailed in this locality,
when N. C. Thomas, living near town,
telephoned to all his friends and neigh
bors telling them that he had suc
ceeded in killing the big man eating
animal that has been playing havoc in
this locality for the past few weeks,
and within a few hours it spread like
wild fire over the entire country, and
nearly 100 people called at the Thomas
home during the day to see the animal,
which proved to be a large and strange
looking dog, which Mr. Thomas well
knew, but he was in for a good joke,
and when his friends called at hia home
he simply presented them with one of
his sale bills, announcing his sale on
the 5th of February. Each man took
the joke good naturedly, and as he
passed home he told the long: string- of
people enroute to the house that they
must not miss seeing the strange
animal, it is wonderful. A. L. Baker,
the genial Murray postmaster was the
first to discover that it was a dtog, and
it is said that he was not long in; de
tecting it either. Among those who
called for one of Mr. Thomas"" sale
bills early Sunday morning were A. L.
Baker, Lee Nickels, C. S. Stoner M.
G. Churchill, Albert Young, Arrold
Holmes, Rex Young, Will Browra,
James Brown, Chas. Fergueson, Lliwd
Lewis, John Cook. We understand
that John Cook wanted the animal to
be mounted and place on exhibition is
his store window. Never mind Jofcn
we will have them kill a white or a
blue one for you next week .
Hogs Mysteriously Killed.
Some unknown animal visited the
home of Jeff Brendel over east of Mur
ray on last Sunday and killed one hog
for him, and again making the visit
Monday night and killed nine more, in
each case simply killing the shoats
which weighed about 90 pounds, by
cutting and eating the flesh from the
back of the neck, and cutting the r
terys letting them bleed to death.' This
is quiet a loss to Mr. Brendel as he was
just getting a nice start in the hog
business, and this will greatly reduce
the market number for the early spring.
The whole affair is a mystery to every
one.
Chicago Trio Concert
The Chicago Trio Concert Co. is the
next number on the Murray lecture
course, and is sure one of the best.
This high class musical organization will
appear at the Presbyterian church on
the evening of February 4. It is not of
ten that Murray is so fortunate in secur

it is your duty to attend and thereby
assist the promoters of1 this season's
course in defraying the expense of same.
In this manner you will pave the way
for more successful entertainments of
this character in the future. Remem-I
ber the date, and make it a point to at-
tend.

Yale leads the universities of Amer

Out of 21 sports in which the eastern
colleges have held championship
meets the Ells are supreme In 6
and if Yale chose to dispute Cornell's
right to the rowing honors she could
claim a tie In this snort. Yale was
first In football, basketball,' shooting,
water polo, wrestling and golf. But
In lustlee to the Ells it should be
said that there were four of these
sports In which they did not compete.
Cornell ranks next to Yale in the
number of championships won, the
Ithacans caDturing the title In three
and tying for a second. Pennsylvania
and Princeton are tied for third with
2V2 each, while Columbia follows with
2. the other chamuions being con
tent with 1 each. If each intercol
legiate championship were counted is

Barry McCormick, the clever Mil
waukee second sacker, has been made
manager or the Milwaukee American
association team to succeed Jack
Doyle. McCormick has seen: long
years of service in the big leagues.
and at one time was a member of the
Chicago Nationals. As a second base
man he won the distinction of befng
eme- of the fastest men in the business
when- it came to assisting in doutote
plays-. Barry is one of the headiest
nlavers on the team and many fams
believe that he will make an excellent
manager. He surely knows the game
from A to Z and is chuck full of ex
perience. McCormick is a steady go
ing: sober-minded fellow off the field,
but he does not lack the necessary-
aggressiveness of the game. As a
player he is popular with his team
mates. McCormick's home is- ia
Chicago.
In view of the determined attempt
that is to be made by the Intercol
legiate Athletic association to eradi
cate or at least modify the playing of
summer baseball "by college students
the ideas of Dave Fultz, former center
fielder of the Highlanders, are inter
esting. During his day as a student
at Brown university Fultz was one of
the best players in the college ranks.
During his career as a successful pro
fessional player Fultz often spoke in
terestingly on the aspects of college
baseball. Fultz Is a practicing lawyer
and a lecturer in the religious field.
Fultz views follow:
"I see no reason why the bona fide
college student of good standing, good
moral character, who engages in ath
letics for money during the summer
months as a means of obtaining his
education should not represent his col
lege. Our students sing In churches
or in summer opera companies and
then return to college and sing on our
glee clubs; the writer may -contribute
to newspapers, magazines and still
write for our college publications. He
of much wisdom may coach the delin
quent' student and still 'represent our
debating club. All this is done for
money, but the ethical status is never
Questioned." '

Freih frcm the . : ; Sis. 13,000
Miles, for the Crvl..n -Table.
Indon. South Auslr-l a has Just
embarked upon the export of new laid
eggs to l-Jnuland. At the London of
fices of the agent general of that col
ony there have JuhI been received
several thousand dozens of eggs,
which have been carefully packed and
sent to England and, despite their
long Journey of 13,000 inlluB, they
have arrived safely. Experts pro
nounce them to be good in every way
and for all usex, and state that they
are far superior to any of the conti
nental eggs, being larger, cleaner and
better for eating purposes than
French, Danish or the Russian . Im
port. MaJ. A. E. M. Norton, commercial
representative of the south Australian
government, says his government
hopes before long to be sending mil
lions of these eggs to Great Britain
annually.
"The secret of our success," he
said. "Is that all the eggs sent over
are Infertile, and, whereas fertile eggs
go bad, these, although they may
shrink a little, never go rotten.
"They are collected moHtly in th
neighborhood of Adelaide, are graded,
packed and chilled, but not frozen.
They will keep forever.
"A great point about the supply is
that In winter, when eggs are so dear
In London, the Australian product can
be sent over in any quantities and
sold at half the prices of home new
laid eggs. And they are quite a a
good."
TOKEN MONEY IN OHIO.
Wages Are Paid in Ax Handles, with
Hammer Handles for Change.
Conneaut, O. One weeks's wage
at eight dollars a week 32 ax handles.
Change to the amount of $3.50 after
purchasing tools 23 hammer handles.
This was the solution of a problem,
like unto ye olden time high finance,
which confronted John Mitchell when
the currency stringency wa at it
height.
Mitchell was employed in a small
wood working factory In East Spring
field, a small village east of here, but
quit his Job to come here to work, as
a machinist. When he asked for his
week's wages he was confronted with
the proposition of taking eight dol
lars worth of ax handles or nothing at
all. Naturally, he took the ax
handles.
At the general store he purchased
the necessary machinist's tools and"
having no money, tendered the
bundle of 32 ax handles, valued at 25
cents apiece, in payment of the bill ot
$4.50. The country merchant also be
ing out of cash, accepted the exchange
and for change to the amount of $3.45
tendered 23 hammer handles, valued
at 15 cents apiece.
With his tools and 23 hammer
handles Mitchell came to town.
GREATEST CONCRETE BRIDGE-
Just Finished at Washington and Re
markable for Several Reasons.
Washington. The largest concrete
bridge in the world has just received
the finishing touches at Washington.
The Connecticut avenue bridge, as it
is known, spans the deep gorge of
Rock creek, not 15 minutes by trolley
from the center of the city.
The structure is remarkable for sev
eral reasons. In the first place it is
built entirely of concrete without be
ing re-enforced with steel.
It is 1.421 feet long, with a 52-foot
roadway and a walk on either side.
The floor of the bridge i3 136 feet
above the ground. There are several
150-foot arches and two narrow ones
of 82 feet.
Work was begun about seven years
ago on the foundations, though the
plans had already tak?n about two
years to complete. The work halted
owing to the failure of congress to ap
propriate enough money to com
plete ft.
But about three years ago tbe nec
essary bills went through and a really
beautiful bridge is now the result.
Tie cost was $1,000,000.
Mole Is Lucky for Baby.
Port Jarvls, N. Y. The gambling ex
ample set in the White House is b
Ing followed. William H. Lent, an
Erie railway conductor, and John F.
Cross, a music teacher, offered to toss
a coin or pull straws to determine
which of two babies is Lent and
which is Cross.
The babies came almost simultan
ously to Mrs. Lent and Mrs. Cross la
Deer Park sanitarium. The nurses
mixed the babies up. The mammas
were almost hysterical, but tbe babies,
their first born, looked alike to the re
iolclng papas. The attending phys!
clan straightened out the mix-up. He
had noticed that the Cross baby h-id
a cute little mole on its round little
tummy.
New German Diet a Success.
Berlin. A commission has experi
mented with corn as food for chickens
and geese on the government farms at
Lichterfelds, near Berlin. The results
have shown that the German hen,
which has been in disgrace ever since
the glowing accounts of the produc
tiveness of her Missouri cousin ap
peared in almost every household
journal of the empire during the
world's fair at St. Louis, responds
readily to the new diet and experts
now say that the change in diet, from
wheat and barley to corn, has so Im
proved the German hen that she. lays
twice as many eggs during the cold
months as formerly.
