Five million dollars in bonds accepted Friday by the treasury department, have not yet been delivered to the department. The offer was made in the name of a well known and responsible Philadelphia firm. An investigation is now in progress and it is thought it will show the oiler was a bo gus one and that the signatures to it are forgeries. Hopes to Cet the County Scat. AitMNGTON, Neb., May" 22' Twenty five thousand dollars is already subscrib ed by representative citizens with which to build a court'house if a special elec tion votes the county seat to Arlington. The present cuunty seat, Blair, wants the county bonded to build a court house for that place. But the subscription of the amount to build with seems to be likely to take the votes. Accidently Shot Himself. Fjiemont, Neb., May 22. Yesterday afternoon Alfred, the eight-year-old son of Senator Sprick, living at Fontenelle. accidentally shot himself and the wound is likely to prove fatal. The boy secur ed an old horse pistol which had been lying around the house for tome time, and going to the barn wns playing with it, when it was discharged, the full effect of the load striking him in tlia lower part of the abdomen. Plenty of Snakes. Dcnison, Tex., May 21. The past week has been an eventful one. A num ber of venomous snakes principally rat tler?, have been killed at business houses and private residences almost in the heart of the city. Several persons haye also been brought to the city to be treated for snake bites. In one instance a hypoder mic injection of a solution of permanga nate of potash was used, and the relief was almost immediate. Found in the Riyer. Lawrence, Kan., May 21. About 2 o'clock this afternoon while two boys were gathering driftwood along the south bank of the Kansas river, two miles ibove this city, they discovered the body of a young boy lodged in the drift. The authorities were notified, and th sheriff nnscoroner proceeded to the place and held an inquest. The body was that of a white boy about 8 years old, apparently had been well dressed, but was in advanc ed stage of decomposition. There was nothing about his clothes to iden'ify him. It is reported that a boy has bet n missirg from Wamego, and it is thought this is the one. Tlia Womo-i in the Case. Summit, Miss., May 22. A bhooting affray occurred near this city Saturday night, i i which four men were wounded one being hutt fatally. It grew out of bulldozing negroe?. Mrs. Kennedy (white), visiti d the home of Alexander James (clored), for th s purpose ef col lecting a bill from James' wife. A dis pute arose, when Mrs. Kennedy struck the Jam.'s woman with a stick. The lat ter retaliated, and bandied Mrs. Kennedy roughlv. Mr. Kennedy upon being in formed of the affair, in company with others, applied to Ellzey, -justice of the peace, for a warrant for the arrest of the woman, but, they being greatly infuriat ed and excited, it was thought best by the justice not to issue the warrant. They then went to James' house at night and, not finding his vifc, took him out, tied him up, and began to whip him to force him to tell where his wife was. While they were whipping the negro they were fired upon by some unknown persons tyho were lyiug concealed m the woods. Amos Kepnedy was fatally wounded, J and Wright Pounds and Lee Hinson badly. The negro was also wounded in the hand. The assailants have not been apprehended. Fatalities of the Flood. Otincy, 111., May 22. Reports receiv ed today record the drowning of Samuel Moore in Indian Grove Levee district, and of two children of William Johnson of Sny district. Two families living in Sny district are unaccounted for. No trace of them can be found. It is prob able many fatalities will be recorded when all the facts regarding the floods are fully known. Much sickness prevails among the destitute people from the in undated districts, but the relief commit tees of Quincy are rendering every pos sible assistance to those in distress. The river today is falling slowly, having de clined nine inches from the liisrhest point reached. Trains on the western roads will be resumed tomorrow and the da mage to all roads in this locality will be repaired as sjeedily as possible. Old People Am IllD'etent. Old men cronies are among the most in teresting studies in life; young men have no particular depth of friendship about them as a rule. If they quarrel, there's an end. and probably they will never coino together again. They don't quarrel al ways; they let one another go and have uo more interest. Old people are different When they quarrel they have a lively old quarrel. They abuse ono another and are very rabid for awhile. Then they meet accidentally and lu a minute they are just as they were. They have forgot ten their fight, what it was about, and the only danger in any allusiou to it is that eaeh apologizes to the other so strongly that it ends in another quarrel. San Francisco Chronicle "Undertones." Characteristics Which Surround Old Age. An English physician, who has investi gated the characteristics and surround ings of centenarians, says ho found that the average qualities were a good family history, a well made frame, of average stature, spare rather than stout, robust, with good health, appetito and digestion, capable of exertion, good sleepers, of placid temperament and good intelligence, with little need for and little consump tion of alcohol and animal food- Scien tific American. Why Oil "Wears Out." Oil seems to wear out by long continued use, and to lose to some extent its lubri cating qualities. It has been suggested as a reason for this that tho minute spher ical globules, of which the oil is conceived to bo made up, become flattened by the wear and pressure, and so do not slide and roll over each other as easily as be fore.

Iteurded Monkey "Howlers." Frcfessor Albert S. Eickmoro's morning lecture at the American Museum of Natural History tho other day was on "Alouke3si)f the New WoiiiL" Tho word inonkev. he said, ho.l k .1 l j" i iecii iienvrii i rn::i u::::ri:c;.i i; uoua...... u.m meant "unfortunate little fellow." Iu South America monkeys are to bo found on nud south of a line between tho City of Mexico and Vera Cruz, but none nbovo that lino. The American monkeys have n broad noso, and their nostrils turn outward and down ward. A jweuliar species was tho tote, oidy 5 inches hih, which has two more teeth than any monkey in Africa. Another was the bearded rnonla', so named becauso of. a beard which surrounded his face in a fashion made notable by a celebrated journalist, some years deceased. Tho unii:ial (the mon key) was very careful of his bomd and never wet it while drinking. IIo would hollow his hand into the form of a cup, dip it into and fill it with water, and then drink from his hand slowly, while with ono of his other bands he would caref uil y press his beard out of the way of contuct with any drops of water that might falL Another odd species was tho white throated monkey, and still another, "Humboldt's" monkey, discovered by that great explorer, and sometimes called tho "negro" monkey, becauso of tho curly wool upon its heatU Other monkeys had tails so sensitive that when their owners were passing rapidly through the forests, dragging their tails be hind them, they could tell instajjtly when their caudal apjendage5 camo into contact with anything good to eat. The same tails were very Kvverful, and their owners could hook them over a limb, and, hanging by that support, go fast asleep. If a monkey were shot when in this position ho would not f?. he would simply continue to cling ti;ei e unr til decomposition set in. Tha l'atives shoot mouke3-s with poisoned arrows, which they blow out of long l.ollow reeds. When tha wounded monkey becomes unconscious from the effects of the pyi.-ion, the hunter runs up and puts some salt into his mouth, alter so curing him, and tho salt being a:i antidote for the poison, the hunter gets a live monkey as good as new. The lecturer described in dttail the species of the South American monkey known r.stho "howlers." These monkeys travel in groups and they ore very jealous of each other's abilities as howlers. Each group has a cham pion howler, and when two groups meet ono howler from each sits opposite tho other, sur rounded by the rest, and then each tries to outhowl the other.the respective groups join ing in the chorus. This din can be heard lit a distance of from two to three miles, and tlio terror of a huntsman who goes to sleep in the forest und is suddenly awakened by a group of howlers in tho trees above him can bo better imagined than describe!. Monkeys like bananas better than anything el so, al though they ore fond of green corn and tho breadfruit, which grows abundantly in tho luxuriant forests of South America. New York Times. The Hath Houses of I'ari. The manner of bathing is considered ;i luxury, and the public bath houses ure the most used by people i:i moderate cir cumstances. These bath houses aro to Ixj found on every other block, and there are first, second and third class ones, sot hero is no excuse for uncleanliness in Paris. They are always very nicely kept, and the service is excellent. A bower of palms and flowers greets you ;is you enter, and the whole appearance of tlia place is inviting. In the first class c.-ta!-lishments tiie waiting rooms and bath rooms are very handsome. You take your bath ticket at the door for a plain or bran bath with towels; a peignoir is always extra, and to is the lining of the tubs with a s'lcot. You can purdwt) soaps, combs and brushes, perfumery, and all toilet articles at a counter i:i the waiting room. You nrc allowed a half hour in your bath room, and a bell rinrvs in your room to w?:m you it is tiuio to vacate when the regulation hour is reached. Of late years all apartment houses are being built with bath rcoin. and no doubt the public bath houses will in time bo entirely given over to the poorer classes. Paris Cor. The Argonaut. Stret Car Triivi 1 in 3Iunni:i, The cars have three compartments; tho middle one, having cushioned spats, is called fir&t class, and the one at each end, which haa no scats, is second class. They are open at all .sides, and are rough, clumsily constructed and poorly painted concerns, carrying a conductor and a driver, who keeps a police whistle be tween his teeth and blows it incessantly from one end of the line to the ether. Two little Australian ponies pull each car, and they go at a fair rate of speed. Sometimes these ponies, which are not much larger than Joe Emmet's bigf dog and are quite remarkably intelligent. take a notion to balk. Then tlia driver gets down, puts his whistle in his pocket, and, with the assistance of the conductor , drags them along tho track until tlr.y get ashamed of themselves and are ready to declare the strike off. The driver and conductor climb into the car again, the former resumes his shrill whiotlinand thn car continues its journey. But, of course, none but the natives and very xxr ti'- j eigne-rs who have no social standing ever think of riding in a street car. St. Loui? Republican. .
