An Interesting Relic.
lSt. Louis Republican. ]

A somewhat interesting relic was dug
up near Chester, Illinois, about hum
bred miles below this city, last week.
1t was an image sixteen inches high,
thirty-two inches round the waist, and
weighing forty-one pounds. 1t is soaps
stone or slate. 1t Is in sitting posture.
with the right leg drawn up and the
right hand resting on the knee. There
is nothing remarkable in t'iis; but there
are carvings on the idol which attract
attention. On its breast Is the figure OF
an elephant, which shows either that
the makers knew something about the
Asiatic elephant, or that the elephant
existed In this country spontaneously
with the race that carved these images.
Around the head, too, there Is an inscrip-
ton which. if it could be deciphered,
would probably tell an interesting story.
The writing is said 10 resemble the
Egyptian hieroglyphics

THE Philadelphia correspondent OF

account OF the expose of the pious fraud,

old Swedish church In that city. Shrack
pretended to die and come to life again.
about ten days ago. Since then he ha>
been supported by his brethren. Hi
case has attracted great attention, and
accounts OF his resurrection have been
published in nearly every newspaper il
the country. he pretended to have eX-
perienced the ecstacies OF heaven. Tn,
church of which he is member has in
vestigated the case, and the result is that
the pastor who was to have administer d
communion to him refused to do 30,
and tho attending rhy stefan discontinued
his visits. Shrack proves to be disre-
putable character whose only notoriety
heretofore was the giving Of remarkable
entertainments, known In England a.
"drags." His particular delight was to
invite his own particular friends, all
men, TO what he called "drag," al
English term, wherein half the company
would be- attirei in women's clothes and
The remainder dressed In their proper
costume. A woman was ..neyer seen to
enter the house save the housekeeper.
At one of these "drags" Shrack boosted
that his evening dress had cost him
$3.50, and the expenses of the night
reached $500. DR.. Cantrell says:
Shrack undoubtedly had nervous
spasms OF the heart, but he
believes they were produced by
an effort Of his powerful will. He Is
capable OF preventing, to certain ex.
tent, the full volume of air going into
his lungs, and thus impairing the full
action OF his heart. This he can do by

ribs still, and making the muscles be,

tected by making an examination Of his

Decatur Review.

Oglesby is making lively bid for the
popular vote next year. He Is trying to
steal Democratic thunder. But the odds
are all against him, The policy and
leaders are all against him. The Dem
ocracy, governed and controlled by a
liberal policy, will carry this state by O
good, round majority at the next cleo
ton. 1t carried it in 1915, by majority
of 9s2 on the congressional vote. A
change of a little more than one>half Of
one per cent. would have defeated Gull
lum, and Hayes had only one-fiith OF one
per cent. more than the popular vote
This, all in the face Of the fact that the
managers OF the campaign from the first
conceded the state to the Republicans.
