ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
DEs MONIES, March "A special tele-
gram from Casey says: There is little pond
OF stagnant water dignifed by the name of
Silver Lake, four miles west of Casey, on
the Rock Island Railroad. It has
history as bathing place, and as place
where three or four persons have been
drowned. Near by is . schoolhouse,
which has been utilized evenings
for spelling schools, debating societies,
etc., and in passing by the water the at
tendants have seen ghostly apparitions.
These occurred so often and were seen by 80
many that the neighborhood became ter
rorized.
About week ago it appeared and
frightened farmers team so that it ran
away, throwing out the farmers wife and
nearly killing her. Her husband pro-
cured shotgun and loaded it with buck
shot, and after four long patient
nights of watching and getting frost bitten,
he last night filed the ghost full of buck
shot. It cried. "My God, don't shoot
any more,P and fell PROSTATE. He was
carried home by the shooter and cared
for. No one but the attending physician
has seen him, and he refused to give any
name. he is suspected to be land-seeker
who wished to scare the owners and buy
cheap. Nothing positive can be gotten, as
the shooter and doctor are mum.

DANCERS POSITION.
Miss Mincing' asks: sCan you give me the
proper position of a dancer? Ihear that / am
considered to poke my head ont too far.n
This can only be learned with the aid of a
teacher. The upper part of the body should
be quiet, the head held IN natural position,
neither turned to one side or the other. The
partner puts his arm firmly round the lady's
waist-for in the sudden turns he must support
her-and takes her right hand in his left one.
The LADY turns the palm of her hand down.
ward. Her right arm should be nearly straight
but not stiff. The step should be In unison.
If the gentleman bends his right elbow too
too much he draws the lady's left shoulder
against his right, awkwardly. If gentleman
does not hold his par tner properly he is not a
good dancer.
The young Americans are, however. the best
dancers in the world. In a foreign casino, if
two young Americans begin to waltz, they soon
become a center of respectful groups, who
look at them with admiration and wonder.

1t is very fashionable. and the figures depend

A Carload of Cinnamon.

A telegram received hGSo today from
San Antonio, Tex. says: The Southern
Pacific passenger train from New Orleans
this morning contained one car of curl
Gus freight. In an ordinary emigrant
coach, attached to the rear sleeper, were
thirty-nine Cinnamon, en- route to China.
They came from Havana, Cuba, where
they were employed in cigar factory.
On their arrival by steamer at New Or
leans, the government officials forbade
their landing until it was explained that
they merely desired to so across the ter
ritory of the United States to San Fran
cisco, where they had engaged passage
to the flowery kingdom. The Southern
Pacific company was compelled to give
the government officials 4 bond of $3.50
for each of the Mongolian passengers be-
fore they We're permitted to board the
train. The bond was security that none
of the Cinnamon should escape from the
train en- route. The railroad company
had the train strongly guarded, and the
Cinnamon are not allowed to leave the
coach on any pretext, being compelled
to eat and sleep in the car.-Denver

NOCTURN.

Trees and the menace of night;
Then the long, lonely, laaden mere
Backed by the desolate fell
AS by a spectral battlement; and then,
Low brooding, interpenetrating all,
A vast, gray, listless, inexpensive sky
Where no live star can have so much as shot
Since life and death were one.
Hist In the trees full of night,
Is it the hurry of the rain?
Or the noise of drive of the dead
Streaming before the irresistible will,
Through the strange dusk Of this the debata-
BILE land
Between their place and ours?
Like the forgetfulness
OF the work-a-day world made visible
A mist falls from the melancholy sky
A messenger from some lost and loving soul,
Hopeless, wide wandering, bewildered
Here in the provinces of life,
A great white moth fades mserably by
Through the trees in the strange, dead night,
Under the vast dead sky,
Forgetting and forgot, stream of ghosts
SIS TO the mystic mere, the phantom fell,
And the dim, infinite silences beyond.
