VALENTINE’S REVELATIONS. Ihe Imprisoned Rascal Further Expos/0| Unimprisonml Vascals. BROOKLYN, Nov. ll.—-E. Valentine, the swindier, whose confession of the opera— ’ tions of the Bough-McLaughlin-G'allagher gang have been published, is still in the Raymond Street jail, and there is no im- mediate prospeot of his release. He denies all knowledge of the forgeries that have been unearthed, and which are thought to indicate a conspiracy involving all the leading cities of the United States. Valentine says he was only a dupe of the gang, and the authorities :believe he tells the truth. ‘ To add to his troubles, Valentine’s wife has brought suit for divorce. The papers were served upon Valentine in the jail. Mrs. Valentine is 'a very estimable wom- an. She knew nothing of her husband’s relations with May Wintage until she read of the girl’s attempt [at suioir“ A few weeks ago Mrs. Valentine 0.1.. into pos- session of several thousand dollars through the death of a relative. The developments of the :‘Wmes con; cocted by the gang are comi. to light constantly. They run through the whole gamut of swindling operations. One of their plans, which shows the shrewdness of the leaders, was revealed today by Val- entine. Whenever a. man of means who was not Nell known died, the gang would get a de- scriptiomof a piece of real 'estate left by him. A deed for the property would be forged and taken to the county clerk's of- fice to be filed. The payment of a few dollars to a recording clerk would get the deed recorded without delay. Then the gang would destroy the forged deed. With certificates showing title to such pieces of property, they would go on all kinds of bonds, especially bonds in replevin oases. At least one of the swindlers did a big business in straw bonds in criminal 35585. , s f, A Requisition For Peters.

SHOT BY A MINISTER. In Self Defense Rev. Mr. Benedict Used His Revolver. LARRABOO, 1a., Nov. 11.——Rev. F. L. Benedict shot and fatally injured Harry Mewhirter, a prominent druggist. One day last week Mr. Benedict secured a search warrant and had Mewhirter’s drug store searched for liquors. This enraged the druggist, and he followed the minister into the Larraboo Review office. The minister extended his hand to Mewhirter with peaceful intent. The enraged drug- gist at the same moment dealt Benedict a. sever ': blow on the head with his fist.

The minister succeeded in freeing himself, and drawing a revolv- er shot Mcwhirter, who fell to the ground with a bullet in his breast. The minister was taken into custody.

Choking in cattle is usually caused by swallowing a potato, apple, piece of turnip or carrot, or a piece of corn- cob. No matter what part of the gui- let it is lodged in, it causes great dis- tress. The animal coughs, saliva runs from the mouth, eyes bulge out, back is arched, and bloating also takes place. If it is in the upper part of the gullet, the animal spon dies from suffocation. If it is in the middle or lower part, the animal may live for several days. If it is in the upper part of the gullet, give a little oil, and then rub the hand up and down the throat to scatter the accumulation. It may be necessary to give a little oil several times, and continue the rub- bing, as it may take some time to overcome the choking. In case no oil is at hand, a. similar attempt may be made by pouring down some water. If the obstruction cannot be forced up or down by oiling and rubbing the gullct, use a probang, which is made of spiral wire covered with leather, and which will bend with the neck. There is also a gag to put into the mouth, with a hole in the center through which the probang passes. Oil the probang, and let one man take hold of the animal's horns orears, while another passes the probang through a. hole in the gag and back into the gullet. Press gently until the object is felt, then by steady pressure it will pass into the stomach. Too much force should not be used for fear of rupturing the gullet. No unyielding article should be pressed down the gullet, as it is almost sure to rupture it. If a probang is not convenient, take a piece of rope about 97.1 to 1 inch in diameter, frizz out a little at the end, and tie a piece of string around it to form a soft knot, grease this well, and it will supply the place of a probang. In cases where an animal cannot be relieved by this treatment, cut down on the gullet with a. knife, making an incision and removing the material. Clean the wound, and bring the edges of the gullct together firmly with silk thread or catgut, letting the ends hang out of the external wound, bring the edges of the skin together, put a ban- dage around and keep it wet with cold water, and it will usually heal. Give the animal soft food fgr some days, or if a probang was used and the gullet not cut, give soft food for three days. Good Roads in the Schools. What has been done in other lines is suggestive; of what may be done to ward good reads. Several years ago a few persons, who were regarded by some as cranks and by others as merely a step in advance of their time, thought it would be a good thing to impress on the minds of growing boys and girls the importance of a knowledge of and love for trees, and now Arbor Day in the schools is vir- tually a- national institution. Does anyone doubt that its establishment was a good thing?. Does anyone re- gret the information concerning trees that has thus been implanted in thou- sands of breasts? While there is a sentimental side to Arbor Day, there is also a strongly practical side. Even a little knowledge of trees adds ap- preciably to the interest and pleasure of those who go countryward in the summer season; and those who know and love trees will never willingly consent to see them wastefully de- stroyed. It is easy to conceive of the time when there shall be a Road Day as well as an Arbor Day. General Stone in his Buffalo address called upon the educators of the country to “preach the gospel of good roads,” and further to teach a. little road-building in all the schools. It is a practical concern of everyday life, as be well remarked, and should inter- est parents as well as children, women as well as men. “You will need no text-books,” he said, “for no high-class technical knowledge is necessary to teach the rudiments of road construc- tion and repair.” Another practical suggestion was that the teachers could do much actually to improve the roads of the country. General Stone’s be- lief is that the great need of our coun- try roads is daily care, for in the ab sence of care every defect grows by geometrical progression. His estimate is that $~i0,000,000 is spent every year on road repairs, and yet the roads are no better. So he recommends that road leagues be organized among the older schoolboys, that the few neces- sary tools be supplied by the town- ship authorities, and that the boys be set at work as road repairers. The educational effect of this policy would undoubtedly be excellent, butlthe first thing to be done is to get good roads to be kept in remain—New York Trib- une. RAM’S HORN SAYINGS. “They say” is the plural of slander. There are some very good people who love to tell bad news. It is better to run the shoes down at the heel than to be too lazy; to walk. . If some people knew, that the sun had spots on it they would almost worry themselves to death. The man God uses is not the one who spends Limit of his time in look- ing for an as place. Church members who never smile will some day find out how, much harm they have done. Mock turtle soup is a stew pandoul from .--— Dansville Breeze. An Alleged Embezzler Arrested.

After swallowing ninety of the bivalves, Pat laid a dime on the coun- ter and said: “Bedad, you’ve won. I can’t eat any more. Speaking of oysters reminds me of Dixey’s story of the man who entered a country store on a cold day. A group of loungers were huddled about the stove, and the stranger could not get near enough to keep warm. “.Got any oysters?” he asked the proprie- tor, and receiving an affirmative reply said: “Take a dozen on the half shell out to my horse.” All hands crowded to the door to see a} horse eat oysters, and the stran- ger secured the most comfortable seat. The proprietor returned soon, and said the horse refused to eat the shell fish. “Well, give ’em to me, then,” said the foxy visitor, secure in his resting place. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 0 (£9 a (5% .l. ,_ At; 0.0 . h 1"?
