AXES INSTEAD OF BIBLES,

Five Women Attend a Prayer Meeting
with Axes Concealed Under Their
Shawls.
FARM1NGToN, Mo-, April 2.--Five wo-
men of this city to-day made determined
and successful raid upon the supplies of
the ''blind tiger" which has been running
in this vicinity for some time contrary to
the local option law which is in force in
this town. One woman recently made
single-handed attack with an axe upon
the saloons and this bringing the fact to
the attention of the women that several
saloons were running in violation of the
law, the ladies then served notice upon
the saloonkeepers that they must close
their places of business or be closed by
the crusaders. The saloonkeepers swore
out warrant against the women for con-
spiracy. Since that time the feeling has
become very bitter on the part of the
women, and this morning five of them,
Mrs. J. Foster, Mrs. G. A. Williams, Mrs.
Howard Jerrold, Mrs. VIM. Odgers and
Mrs. Finley met at the Presbyterian
church during ladies' prayer meeting,
by preconcerted plan. Each of them
wore heavy shawls, and concealed undor
them each carried an axe. After prayer
meeting the crusaders started out on
their raid. They smashed wagon load
of beer belonging to Aug. Thomson, and
also a lot of beer supplies consigned to
saloonist at Docrun. Thomson threatens
prosecution.

An Architect Submits a Plan for an I'm
mense Circular Structure.
CHICAGO, April 2.-Architect E. s..
Jennison explained to the Chicago real
estate board to-day his conception of a
big circular building, 5000 feet in diam
eter, with central tower 1892 feet high,
to be used for the worlds fair. The en-
tire exhibition would be contained in
this one structure, which would be in the
form of an immense tent, the greatest in
existence. The walls are planned to be
Of brick and the roof of corrugated iron
and glass. The exhibits would be ar
ranged in concentric circles, the same
radial divisions to represent each nation
in the different classes, thus making the
most perfect system possible. In the
construction of the roof $4,000 wires
would stretch from the tower to the
outer wall, which is to be sixty feet high.
Jennison said the building could be put
up in six months. 1t would Withstand
hurricane, and with sixty-six acres of
glass would be admirably lighted. Much
interest in the idea was shown by men,
bers of the board.

Woman Caught shop-Lifting, Declares
She Only Wanted to See If She Would
be Detected.
PHILADELPHIA, April "A woman
giving the name of Mary Rebecca Ship
ley and her residence as Staunton, Va,
was arrested here to-day for shop-lifting.
About $500 worth of goods we're recov-
cred. To the magistrate she made the
following statement: II have had many
romantic adventures, do you know, but
this is the most romantic one of them all.
had a gentleman friend from Philadel-
phia, who visited me at Staunton, and
read to me an account of the expertness
of female shop-ifters in large bazaars in
Philadelphia and New York. I fell to
thinking over the matter until finally
got the notion into my head that would
try my hand at it just to see whether I
could take anything without being de-
tected. Not with any idea of stealing,
you know, but just to see whether I had
the skill and audacity that they pos
sessed. Well, came here two weeks
ago. I had money to make my pur-
chases with, but went from one large
store to another, picking up any
little trife that took my fancy.
I took everything to my hotel
room, and have it there now.
I did not remove the price mark or tags
and can pick out the goods which 1
got at each store separately. I decided
to give supper at the hotel and invite
the superintepdents and head ladies from
each store from which had taken any,
thing to meet me and intended to have
each lady to identify their own goods and
return them to her. And by the way, I
had decided to do that very thing to-
morrow night. I would not use the
goods for myself. I had an abundance
without them. OF course I would not
want the story of my arrest to get into
the papers A romantic idea, altogether,
wasn't it." She seemed of the same opin-
ION when taken to prison and is thought
| to be insane.

Now for Irrigation Experiments.

Now for Irrigation Experiments.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-During the de-
bate on the Idaho bill to-day Congress-
man Henderson of Iowa made a speech
in opposition to the arteslan we'll irriga-
tion bill. He said he considered the
scheme in no wise practicable. Many
other members of the house are known
to hold the same views, so the appropri-
alton for this purpose for South Dakota
may not b 7santed. The senate bill
appropriating $4,000 for irrigation ex-
periments in North and South Dakota
passed the house to-day. It is expended
under the direction of the agricultural
department. Senator Pettigrew of South
Dakota is to be the recipient of new
honors. Senator Blair resigned as q
member of the public lands committee
to-day, and it has already been agreed
that Pettigrew shall be appointed in his
stead. Pettigrew will be better able to
serve his state on this committee than on
any other. Senator Moody to-day IN

CHICAGO, April 1.-The officials of the
board of trade to-day notified the West

mencing tomorrow none of the compa-

supposed to be the new step in carrying

THE STARS.

What are their years? The nights unfath-
omed deep
Rings back no answer gives no glimmering
key;
And still unknown, and beautiful they keep
The silent courses of eternity
What are their memories of creations days,
When startled chaos, from its kingdom
hurried,
First knew it's n aster, and with glad amaze
They sang the birth-song Of our trembling
world?
What have they looked on since, with pa
tent eyes,
Whlie million years uncounted rolled away?
Who claims antiquity for a man that dies
Before such records of the past as they?
Can they to man the mystery explain,
The why. the whence, of his uncertain
state?
Unlock the riddle that he reads in vain,
And clear the tangled problem of his fate?
Can they fashion to the fu ture give,
ana tell the whittier of mans anxious quest?
NJ AXE life a less than wearisome to live,
UT stay the hazard of his wild unrest?
Oh, stars! what midnight message do you
bear
10 minds grown weary with the years in
crease?
The wistful eyes that watch you shining
there,
Look out of troubled hearts that know
not peace.
