He was quite successful la his effort, sad no sooner had the noose tightened up on the lad than he was thrown irom tho wagon and quite badly injured. A gash was cut in his throat and he was badly bruised on the legs and body. The boy was taken to his home and Dr. Schildknecht was called and dressed his wounds. The doctor stat ed that had tho cut been a trifle doep cr It would have resultod fatally, as the jugular vein would have been bov erod. As it is, tho boy will only be laid up for a few days. It has boon ascertained that Ed. Po terson Is tho boy who threw the laaso. He is about thirteon years of ago, and has a reputation as a mlschlof maker. A f'uv weeks ago a herd of rang horses was brought hore and sold. It was necessary to uso tho lasso on each of them, and ever alnco that time tho small boys about town have been al most insnne. Nearly every one you see has a long rcpo with a noose at its end, and so diligently havo they prac ticed that mmy of them have become quite expert. A number of youngstors have boon hurt, but nono so seriously as tho Itamgo boy. Marshal Slater has now takon tho matter in hand and promises to arrest each boy found with a rope.

From the Springfield Republican: The case of a younger son is usually pitied In Eng'and, but there was a nobla exception in the case of the fam ily of the late Earl of Mansfield, who died worth some 15,700.000. Viscount Stormont, the father of the first Earl of Mansfield, the great judge, was one of the poorest lords in Scotland, and "as poor as a Scottish lord" has long been a by-word In England. This yonc(r son, William Murray, born in 1703, one of a fimlly of twelve penni less children, rode off to London on his pony to attend Westminster school, and never, It Is said, saw his native land again, but he left an earldom and a vast fortune to his eldest brother's heir. The earl who recently died was the fifth of the title, and the sixth earl is his hrethr. Joseph Stockford, Hodgdon, Me., healed a sore running for seventeen years and cured his piles of long stand ing by using DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. It cures all skin diseases. F. G. Fricke A Co.

The Cel tic M a veritable floating stoie and warehouse, filled with no.ihd supplies of every kind required by a man-o'-war Hiid its crew on 11 lon voyage through varying climates. But the chief Inter est of tlii.s novel .-hip centers In her meat stoies and refriivratlng cham bers. Before leaving New York there were put Into her hold 200,000 pounds of fre.-h frozen mutton and 250,000 pounds of vegetable.-?. These supplies are so arranged that the battleships can at any time take from the cargo whatever meat and vegetables are needed for the nu-ss during the long voyage to the Philippines. These stores wore placed on hoaid for the iif-o of the feet's nnn. Such a tiling is un paralleled and unheard of In navnl his tory. And it has been leU to this government and to one of the great est poking companies to store up and send with a fleet on tho longest voyage of recovd a ship loaded with fresh sup plies from which the ofli :crs and crew can be fed, the same as on lend. i'i any climate. She left in company with the Oregon ami the Iowa, und will feed them en route as they yo. Be.ddes be ing novel in naval histoiy, it is a new departure in the meat trade. The meat was specially gotten up for thi- ship ment. It is sewn in cheese cloth, frozen in Chicago, and brought from there to New York in refrigerator cars in a frozen stale. To thus maintain carcasses of beef in a fro7cn .state dur ing so long a frei.rht journey Is a big undertaking in itself. It is seldom at tempted by the largest a?!d best equipped companies even fo:- a thortei distance. The cargo was loaded In a frozen state, and will he kept at a frigid temperature until il is consumed or the residue landed at Manila. Be fore the ships after touching at Hon olulu reach their destination the store ship Celtic will have performed the most wonderful voyage in the world's history in the meat line. She will have carried in her hold, and thiough all climates, a cargo of frozen fresh meats over the longest voyage of a meat ship in existence. She will have demon strated the limitless possibilities of re frigeration and of niutical cold stor age for distributing the world's sur plus meats and provisions to those climes and peoples who require them. This voyage of the warships and of their floating store, the Celtic, will take more than 100 days. Heretofore a voy age of sixty days for a frozen meat thip lias been regarded as a marvel in trade circles. The whole affair is one of great credit to the government at Washington and to the contractors. The possibilities in the case indicate in definite expansion for the meat and provision Industries of the United States, and the meat Iride is under obligation to the commcn lAble daring of our officials ai.d of our enterprising business concerns.

A singular and but little known In dustry la carried on in this city in the sale of oyster anil clam shells, say the New York Tribune.

From the eat ing houses where oysteis and clams are consumed the year round the shells lire collected by persons who either carry on that biiaineo for themnelves or are in the employ of the wholesale dealers. It seems incredible how largo an area of ground can be covered many feet deep with the conglomeration of shell and foreign matter that Is un avoidably collected with It. rnd appar ently amalgamates v.iihc.'t :eatroyIng the characteristics ot the harder ma terial. String a number of carts hf.ded with shells moving toward the same point would induce the supposi tion that mote reclaimed land was being li leI In with matciiai that would exclude the possibility of su.h land ever being used as a mat Let garden; or it might be taken for granted that another dump heap was a.!;; wed in some of the still nnoc tipicd up.r west side lots.
