Chicago, May 14. A dis-

J says : .Shortly bi foreb o'clock
! Inst night between 15 and 120
! men were at work in a new
building being erected for a
hotel bv Walter Hates, who
was acting as his own fore
man. Suddenly a trenieiidi
ous storm came up from the
southwest nni7 struck the
building with full force. The'
structure tottered for a mo
ment, and then eollasped bu
rying the workmen iu the
ruins.
Hundreds of citizens and
laborers were soon at work
; endeavoring to rescue the im-
j prisone-1 men. Inafewmin

The man who can tell more
i o,.. i,i;., fi.vloh.o- l,..;n.
! !nlI1f, ,1 ...a,, l;?,, oenoe-
ally than any other man west
of the Rockies is Carroll Rron
son, a pioneer of the Selkirk
mountains in British Colum
bia. It is forty-two years
since he made his way alone
from the headwaters of the
I.lisisouri to those mountains,
and he is now in San Francis
co, seeing for the first time in
all those years a town with
more thaua thousand people.
His face is scarred from ar
row wounds received in Indi
an fights, and if he lifts his
white hair from the side of
his head he shows a great cir
cular sear extending from a
bove his right eyeclear round
the right side and back of his
head almost to the left ear.
That is where the old man
was scalped.
"It was in '()(), with the
Sioux," he explained, 'audit
was the worse brush I ever
had with the Indians. They
came rpon a cam) of nine of
us and one of them pounced
upon me, seized me by the
hair, and cut right round my
head where you see the scar.
Then he gave a sharp wrench
upward with his right arm
and laid the wholeskull bare.
1 cannot describe the pain it
gave ine. audi dont believe
I could have endured any
more without simply dying
of it. There is no other tor
ture man can be subjected to
that will begin to compare
with being scalped.
"It is common belief that n
man can't live after being
f scalped, but Pvesurvivedthe
experience a matter of twenty-years,
and I don't think
I'm quite to the end of my
journey yet, even if I am 70.
I kuowanother man upthere,
too, who didn't die under the
scalping knife. The scalp was
torn completely off from the
top of his head so t hat it had
to be constantly swathed in
cotton and olive oil. He liv-
ed a year. That man knew

In a swamp north of the
town of Astor, Fla., John
Wilson cut a huge cypress
tree, and was surprised to
find therein an alligator sev
hi feet long. The opening in
the tree being not half large
enough to admit the reptile,
it presumed it got in while
young and subsisted on
small animals that therein
sought, shelter.

years old. It is a rare thing
to see one of those ancient
coins, or pieces of money, of
the kind for which Joseph was
sold into Egypt. This rare
old coin, an heirloom, has
been in Mr, Miller's family for
several generations. It was
brought from Jerusalem by
one II err Isaac Abrams away
