During the electric storm last Sunday, some'of the motorneers took down
the trolleys, from the electric wires and
let the cars stand quietly during the
storm.   A wise precaution,—Democrat.
Tho YpsiUvntian partially attributes
the cause of the torrid state of the

The Chelsea, Herald says: "Feet"
socials are the latest. The girls sit on

What does he'mean, the feet or the

iwarded was §75.
The Tecumseh News says that there
was such a crowd at Anderson & Co.'s

compelled, ^o, olose the doors. Wonder
if the proprietors were afraid they
would get out without buying something and thought to be sure they would
try locking them in.

It is the little things of life that tax
one's nerves tho most, as a stalwart
youth of Kansas found when he accepted a wager that he could not stand a
quart of water dropped into his open
hand drop by drop from a height of
three feet. Before 500 drops had fallen
into his hand he almost cried with pain
aud said he had enough. After a little
water had fallen each drop seemed to
crush his hand, and a blister in the
center of it was the result.—Dundee

Brooklyn Exponent: A petitiou has
been circulated the past week, which it
is proposed to present to the council,
asking that honorable body to "close
all places of business on Sunday." Great
scott! One would be led to think that
the morals of our village were in a state
of depravity, while realy the character
and morals of Brooklyn are above reproach, and are looked up toandenyied
by our sister villages.
Judging from the above it is evident
that the editor of the Exponent is not
on to the racket or else this committee
are trying to play a trick on someoue.
The moral of Brooklyn we do not
doubt in the least.

Ear beyond words to tell.

PURSUED   BY  A  GRIZZLY.
The Stratagem Employed by an  Indian
to Save His Xlfe.
We shivered around the miserable
lire and listened to the blizzard's fierce
howlings, which then and other times
reminded me of Niagara's roar when
under the sheet of water on the Canada side, says a writer in the N. Y.
Ledger.
Vainly we hoped that it would at
least so abate that we could venture
on. As there seemed no present prospect of this it was decided that we
must have another story.
"Now, Sammo. it is your turn to
tell us something about grizzlies," I
said, as we turned to an Indian who
had come down from the North Saskatchewan river country the previous
summer, and was now of our party.
Who he was and what was" his history none of us knew. He was "very
reserved and no*Vcommunicatiye when
any one tried to find out his past record. There was even an uncertainty
as to the tribe to which he belonged,
although he had let slip the fact that
he had been much with "the "Blaekfeet
and had hunted grizzlies with them in
the mountaius. He talked Cree fluently, and it was in that language we
heard him on this occasion.
Like all western Indians in whose
hunting grounds the grizzlies are
found, he considered a fair battle with
a grizzly equal to a stand-up fight with
an armed warrior of another tribe, and
a necklace of grizzlies' claws thus won
is considered equal in value to the
soalp of an enemy, and gives him a
place of equal honor in the tribe.
"A queer animal is the grizzly,"
said Sammo, by way of introduction.
"Although he can pull down the biggest buffalo or horse if he can once get
his paws upon him, he is ever looking
after small food, like worms, and
grubs, aud berries. To get the Slugs
and worms he will turn over rocks and
old trnuks of trees so large aud heavy
that you would think it would have required a double team of horses to have
done it. He sometimes breaks off his
slaws amoug the rocks when at this
work and if he is getting old they do
uot alwa)'S grow out again.
"Once," said he. "I was out shooting antelope. They were scarce and
shy. 1 did not have very good success, and so I went on farther aud farther from the camp until I got in
among the foothills of the Rockies.
"I had with me a red cloth which I
would fix upon my ramrod or over
some sagebrush, to attract the antelope near, « liile I hid myself as well
as I could so as to shoot "them if they
came within range. These animals
have a great deal of curiosity, aud are
especially attracted by auy thing red.
So. if the scent of the liuulcr is not
caught by them, the shy creatures will
often come up very near. After
awhile I saw a couple of them in the
distance, and so, as soon as I had
found out how the wind blew, to keep
them from scenting me, I quietly set
up my red cloth and hid myself near
it. I had to crouch down in such a
poor place that when they came in
range and I fired I only succeeded in
breaking the leg of one of them. He
limped off with his comrade at a gr»at
rate and I after him. It surprised me
how he got over the ground, and so he
led me a long chase before I got another shot at him, which brought him
down.
"As it was near night now and I was
a long way from camp, I very quickly
skinned him and, cutting out the best
pieces of the meat, I made a pack and
started back for the camp. I was
among the hills, and I saw it would be
best to keep my eyes opeu, and ears,
too, for this seemed to me to be a tine
place for wild animals like grizzlies or
cinnamon bears.
"I gripped hard my gun and hurried
on, and s'oon I was about half way
through the hills, when I heard a snort
and a growl that made me feel almost
as cold that hot day as it is here in this
cold, miserable camp,
■'With a jump I was off, for I well
knew it was a grizzly, although I did
not at first see him. Although I had a
ball in my gun, I had not tliuch tight
in my heart just then, aud," he added,
with a little dry humor, "you know
those at the camp wanted the meal I
had on my back for supper.
"Well. I rau as fast as I oould, but I
was in a bad fix. Grizzlies can run
faster than. men,.and there was no tree
near that I could climb. If there had
been I would have been all right, for
these bears do not climb trees like the
black bears do.
"Soon 1 could hear him behind me.
I was afraid to turn and fire for fear I
would only wound him. and that would
make him"worse. I hated to give up
my meat, as that meant going without
my supper. But I felt he was gaining
on me, and something must be done.
So with one hand I loosened the pack
and dropped a piece of the meat. I
was very much more frightened when
1 found.he had passed it, and was still
coming on. So I dropped another
piece, and that did not suit him. I
had to think very fast then, and it
come to me that perhaps the red cloth
would stop him. So I wrapped a piece
of meat in it while I was running and
dropped it with the antelope skin.
There was. fortunately for me, still
light enough for him to see the bright
color, and it seemed to astonish him.
Anyway, it caused him to stop, and I
reached the camp with one small piece,
which I had fastened to my belt when
the rest had to go. It made but a
small supper for us.
' 'We got ready to fight the old fellow if he should come on. But whether
it was the tire, or that he thought it
best to be satisfied with what there
was along the trail, we never knew.
He did not show himself within range
and we never saw him afterward."
Mexican Conservatism.
A recent traveler in Mexico says the
natives are unwilling to adopt modern
ways, and it is nearly impossible to
make them change. An Englishman
engaged in mining put up a hoisting
plants but found at once that it was
money thrown away, as the workman
would not consent to its use. They
had long been accustoined to carry the
ore iu sacks supported by a broad canvas band passing over their foreheads,
and to receive so much for each sack
delivered at the mouth of the shaft.
To get it there an ascent of over 200
feet had to be made by means of ladders, and accordingly" progress was
very slow. But nothing would induce
them to use the hoisting machinery,
and it had to be abandoned, every man
working in the old fashion.
The investor who follows tips invariably loses his money in the long run.

The Voice
Is easily injured—the slightest irritation ol
the throat or larynx at once affecting its
tone, flexibility, or power. All efforts to
sing or speak in public, under such conditions, become not only painful hut dangerous, and, should be strictly avoided until
every symptom is removed. To effect a
speedy cure no other medicine is equal to
Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral
The best of anodynes, this preparation rapidly soothes irritation, strengthens the delicate organs of speech, and restores the voice
to its tone and power. No singer or public
speaker should be without it. l.ydia Thompson, the famous actress, certifies: "Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral has been of very great service to me. It improves, and strengthens
the voice, and is always effective for the
cure of colds and coughs."
"Upon several occasions I have suffered
from colds, causing hoarseness and entire
loss of voice. Iu my profession of an auctioneer any affection of the voice or throat
is a serious matter, but at each attack, I
have been relieved by a few doses of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. This remedy, with ordinary care, has worked such a
Magical Effect
that I have suffered very little inconvenience. I have also used it in my family, with
excellent results, in coughs, colds, &c."—

Description of the G-reat Train -which will
Leave for the West'July 4th.
(From the Springfield, Ohio Daily Republic-Times, June 28, 1891.)
At 8 o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth of July a, remarkable train will
leave tbe Arcade depot over the Big
Four, the I., I. &L. and Santa Fe routes
for Kansas City and the Great West.
It will consist of forty cars, all exactiy
alikein size and color, each of a carrying capacity of 60.000. lbs. loaded with
BUCKKYE LOW DOAVX 1MUXLS
of all styles anil sizes, over 1.600 in
number, including pin hoe ilrills.sprinc
hots drills and shoe drills of from eight
lo twenty-four shoes or hoes, some
with press wheels aud some without,
.-aid rigged for from two to six horses;
:\ud including quite a large* lot of the
combined grain and grass feed fertilizer
dulls, which the people ofKausas are
beginniug to call for, and which have
for years been used in the East.
This will be the largest shiiimen!" of
drills ever sent out by any factory, and
will be greater than the entire product,
of   some good-sized factories.    Some
idea of its raasuitude may be gathered |
from thu facts"lhat the weiirht of the \
drills will be about 1,450,000  pounds, j
their value, at wholesale, between 880.- •
000-and -390.000. aud the freight charges j
between S9.000 and §10.000. I
Each car will be elaborately decorat- S
wi with banners, Jlags, and bunting and
rt'ill be made otherwise attractive.
A special feature of the train  will be
TWO ADVEKTISIXe CA1!S.
One, an open platform car on which
will be a pair of handsome dapple-grey
horses, loi hands high, harnessed to a
Buckeye Low Down Shoe Drill, and at
all stops the people will bo given -an
opportunity to examine- the drill, and,
by competent attendant, will he shown
the advantages of the low-down principle, the four wheels, the'ijlimber tongue and the single lever. Both the
car and the horses will be decorated
and will make an exhibit worth going
miles to see.
From the'oUjer advertising car,which
will be the last in the train, will be distributed, very liberally, in the towns
en route, souvenirs of lhe great shipment in the form of au eleg-int,speeia,l-
ly imported picture aards commemor-
ativeof the occasion; also other advertising nove!tie.s*iu"useful and attractive
forms. The train will uot be run at
night in order that _al'l towns may bo
passed in daylight.
The drillsin this are sold to dealers
in Kansas and Western Missouri, and,
with the exception of a few ear loads,
which wlH be set out at different point's
in Missouri, the solid train will be run
through io Kansas City, where it will
be divided, and each car fordw.-irded to
its destination.
This shipment is the opening of the
season, only a starter for the tremendous fall trade which is already assured
and another large shipment will soon
follow to St. Louis, to supply the trade
tributary to that point in Sonthern 111
inois and Eastern Missouri. Still another will soon be started for Texas,
and later on another for Kansas and
Western Missouri, as this lor, does not
fill nearly ali the orders from that section, and many car loads are not to be
shipped until "Aug. 1st to loth, or later.
This shipment clearly breaks fhe
record in ihe drill business, and shows
the popularity of the Bncheye Low
Down Drills throughout the West.
