Something that Nobody Knows

The stars are spinning their threads.
And clouds are the dust that flies;
And the suns arc weaving them up
For the time when the slccpGrs shall rise,
The ocean in music rolls.
And the gems are turning to eyes;
And the trees are gathering souls
For the time when the sleepers shall rise.
The weepers arc learning to smile,
And laughter to CLEAN the s:ghs;
Burn and bury the care and guile,
For the day when the sleepers shall rise.
Oh, the Jews and the moths and the daisy red
The larl1s and the glimmers and flows;
The lilies and sparrows and daily bread,
And the something that nobody knows

The Strongest Man On Earth
Philadelphia Press.

George Jagendorter, who is now
exhibiting here, is probably the
strongest man in the world. He is OF
medium hight, but of more than pro-
portionate breadth and depth of
chest. His forearm is bigger than
the calf of all ordinary mans leg,
measuring 49, inches, and the muscle
near the shoulder is IS! inches in cir
cumference. His legs are also mus
cularly developed, and sometimes he
lays promo on his back and plays
sportiveIy with 2O0-pound balls,
which he tosses about much as ordi-
nary men would toss balls of the
same size made of India rubber. His
''finger lift," meaning lift by the
second finger of the right hand, is
$50 pounds. Tt is cannon that he
lifts by u ring and holds while it is
fired off. His shoulder lift is horse
(the last weighed 96O pounds) which
is test of plain strength which has
never been seen before. The litter
stands on a platform, the horse be-
Meath, and the lift is one of pure
strength. without any mechanical as
sistance save straps over the shoul-
ders, When Jagendorfer exercises
with dumb bells he "puts up" $50
Founders, and juggles in the air with
100 or 15O-pounders, much as the Or
binary gymnast handles five and ten
Founders. He carries five men, two
on each end of the pole and one on
his shoulder, and can resist the pull
ing strength of three strong men
with the second finger of his right
hand. He purposes as soon as ar
rangements can be perfected, to lift a
l, 400 pound elephant.

Dublin Notes.

DUBLIN, June 27.-Parnell in a
speech at Monaghon in the interest
of Healy's candidate for the Com

to make reduced rents date from the
time of application to the court
provide that tenants shall
be allowed for improvements
made within thirty or forty years,
and SO that lease holders shall be ad-
mitted tu the benefits of the act.
The court of appeals rendered a
decision in the important test case OF
Chaine vs.. Nebon, on which AZ, 600
other eases depend. The court held
that November rents became payable
from first day after the act was
passed and rot from the day when
they were fixed by the commission
ers.

Flood Notes.

ST. LOUIS, June 25.-The river fel
one inch to-day and there is general
rejoicing. Everybody looks for a
rapid decline before the June rise.
In East st. Louis no further danger
is feared. Every weak or dangerous
point about town is well protected,
and work is still kept up to guard
against possible contingency. Bow
man dyke holds firmly. The water is
now backing up against Pittsburg
dyke, and to guard against the at
tempt to cut it, which has been
threatened, a deputy sheriff, with ten
men, will watch it tonight. The
leak in the calvert under the Cairo
Short Lines track at Jarrett's station
has been stopped, and all fears of the
water from that source getting into
the city are allayed. The farmers in
that vicinity, however, are highly in
censed at the closing of the culyert,
as the water passing through there
drained their lands. They have in
structed a lawyer to bring action
against the railroad company in case
they are damaged. Work on the
break in the Chicago Il Alton en-
bankment at Newport progressed
rapidly to-day.

The Water Falling.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 26.-The
river is on the stand since last night.
At St. Joe the fall was five inches
during the night. No rains are re-
ported in this region since Monday
morning and strong hopes are enter
tanned that the season Of excessive
rains has ceased. In which case the
present flood will most likely disap-
pear to a great extent before the June
rise.
ST.. LOUIS, June 27.-Word comes
this mornina from east st. Louis that
the river continues to fall slowly this
morning and in all that section Of
the country west Of the railroad track.
At Newport, Nameoki and Mitchell,
the water has fallen nearly. If not
a foot, but in that part of the bottom
east of the above named road, a
stream is still pouring through
the crevasse near Newport. A COM
putation based upon information re-
ceived from well informed sources
makes the number of acres of farm
land overtlowed in three townships
in Madison county 1000; this land
is covered with wheat, corn. and
potatoes, which reckoned at $50 per
acre, rather a low estimate, makes
the total loss to crops alone $2lO, 900
in that section. In st. Clair county
east and south of Cardonlet, SO far as
is known at present, 5000 acres OF
corn, wheat and potatoes are under
water

Dietiller's Association.

CHICAGO, June GA committee
of fifteen distillers of the National
Export Association met here to-day
One of the main questions for settle
ment was whether the present rate
of MASKING, as agreed on some time
since, should be continued beyond
July lst. the date to which the agree
ment originally extended. The COM
mittee decided to recommend that
this agreement be continued in force
until tho stock of spirits ON hand
shows psrceptibly that it is decreas-
ing. The question of forming q new
pool in September, the date at which
the present pool expires, was
not definitely acted on.
The high wine distillers were
asked to accept q lower rate Of pro-
duction in proportion to capacity
than distillers Of whisky. In view Of
the large quantity of high wines in
the market the high wine men de-
clined this proposition, and it was
decided to refer the whole question
of limiting production to general
meeting of members of the pool to be
held in Chicago July 1lth. The
complaints that Cincinnati distillers
violated the agreement by exceeding
the percentage of production were
investigated and pronounced to be

The Great Northwest.

The great increase in travel tc the
Northwest, has forced the "Famous
Albert Lea Route" to put upon its
line magnificent dining cars, in which
passengers will he served meals Sec
ond in quality to no first-class hotel,
for the small sum Of seventy.five
cents each.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway, which controls this route,
has always maintained reputation
for giving travellers first-class meals
on its dining cars, and in putting on
this line the same class OF cars, it fills
a want that the travelling public will
appreciate.
"The Albert Lea Route is carry
ing a very large share of the North
western travel, and,..although. early
in the season, has commenced to sell
tourists tickets to the various pleas
ure resorts in q volume sufficiently
large to guarantee an immense sum-
mer traffic.

swore no proposition had been made
by him to withdraw for ten per cent.

was connected with never had a con-
tract with the government while he
was in the government employ. No
reason was assigned for his dismissal
from the department. The co-part-
nership of Simons, johnson & Gan
non was dissolved before Hill became
supervising architect. Hill then took
the stand and said a portion of the
testimony of Wilbur was true and a
portion false. He never had any con-
versation with Wilbur in which it
was said by either or intimated l
would receive or permit any cOmpen-
sation to be paid for the settlement of
the claim in charge of Wilbur. 1t
was absolutely false. Adjourned.
The President approved the find
ing and full sentence of the court
martial in Paymaster Wasson's case.
An order will be issued from the

announcing his sentence, which is to
be dismissal from the army and con-
