Drised.
A loving Moline wife bit upon the idea
OF giving her husband surprise when he
came from work the other evening. the
occasion being his birthday. Accord>
ingly she invited a number of their
friends in to take su PIPER aud spend the
evening in honor of the event. The
guests had arrived and with them thew
brought nice rocker to present to their
victim. Everything was in readiness.
even 10 the table being laid for supper.
The surprise was to prove great shock
TO the man. one that he would remember
ana think over So at every footstep
that was heard approaching the house
the expectant visitors went into hiding.
This was kept up for some time and
as they were despairing of his arrival a
step was heard outside. "Oh. here he
comesG' exclaimed the wife, and in less
time than it takes to tell it everyone was
In hiding. But the wife was doomed to
bitter disappointment, for as the husband
who is usually strictly temperate man,
stumbled into the house he muttered
something about being lin town" and
out OF sight" He had been out with
the boys. In common parlance he was
completely ''paralyzed." His chin rested
upon his chest, and his legs refusing
longer TO support him be sank by acciden,
into convenient chair.
1t is needless to add that the party was
not the brilliant success that had been
anticipated. The feelings of the poor
woman can be better imagined than de-
scribed. The couple have not spoken
word to each other since.

BNHRING TEST CASE.
Postponement of the Sayward Suit Until
Next October-Briefs Of Counsel Yilad.

Postponement of the Sayward Suit Until
Next October-Briefs OF Counsel FILED.
The suit brought into the U. s. SUI
preme court at the suggestion Of the
government Of Great Britain on behalf
Of the owner Of the schooner Sayward,
to test the question of the jurisdiction
of the United States over the seal fish,
cries in Behring Sea and their right to
seize vessels unlawfully taking seal
more than three miles from land, an
issue that has been pending between
the two governments during several
administrations, has been postponed
by the supreme court on account of
the illness of Justice Bradley until Oc-
tober 10, when argument will begin.
The case is before the court in the form
of petition to prohibit the U. s. au-
thorities selling the Sayward under a
decree of forfeiture for violating the
law against taking seal in the Behring.
The briefs of counsel on both sides
have been fled. They divide their
argument under two heads: First as
to the right to bring the case before the
court in the rather unusual form Of q
writ of prohibitions; second, as to the
relations between the legislative, exec.
utive and judicial departments of the
government, and the binding force upon
the judiciary of a decision by the ex.
ecutive as to the jurisdiction appertain.
ing to the United States.

PREHISTORIC VAULT.
A Mass Of Masonry Unearthed az
Huntington, Ind.
Il Il Thought to. BE the Work Of Mound
Builders.


Some rude masonry was disclosed to
view while cutting the lot of D. A.
Purviance, on North Jefferson street,
Huntington, Ind, to proper
level, Saturday. About six feet
below the natural surface Of the
earth pile of stones was encountered
which seemed to have been laid with a
purpose. They formed an irregular
hemispherical mass about six feet in
diameter and three feet high beneath
which were formed layers of tagging,
each layer formed by hagstone six
inches thick, six feet wide and eight
feet long. Below the mass of masonry
and the hagstone was an empty vault.
The stones were of the limestone va
riety, and kind that is never found in
that vicinity unless they have been
brought there. What the structure had
been intended for is a mystery, but It is
thought to have been the work of the
mound builders.
