BERLIN. Oct. 31.-Advices received
here state that $500 German colonists

peasants attack houses and all other
buildings in which they are likely
TO find plumber in order TO secure the
means of obtaining food. The authori-

to suppress all information, being un-
willing that the true condition of the
people should be made known.

An IncorrIgible Child.

An old couple at Guestrow in Mecklen'
burg, having no children, took fancy to
o little girl and adopted her. That was
five years ago and the girl was about z
years old. She had come tramping along,
and was not able, or not willing, TO give
an account of her past history, which
might have led to the discovery of her
parents. Hardly had she been received
into tho house when she began pilfering
and could not be cured of it. The old
people persevering in their efforts to re-
form the girl reused her anger. The de
sire for revenge, coupled with the wish to
be her own mistress caused the girl to sci
fire to the house. 1t was discovered in
time, very little damage having been done
The old people did not send the girl adrift
but still continued their efforts TO educate
her. A few weeks ago the old woman or
sitting down to her dinner perceived thu
food to emit pungent smell, which in
duced her to question the girl, now Il
years old. She confessed having mixed

a GHOST CAUGHT.
The Disguise Potato Thief Adopted TO

Prevent Detection.
Yrinzini, the Partisan murderer, dies
hard, although he was put TO death awhile
ago by the glillotine In orthodox manner
and declared dead lege artis by the PhySi,
clan regularly paid for the job. 1t was
the day after his execution that the good
peoplc of Ivry, near Paris, again saw
Pranzin-by that name, ut any rate, they
called what they saw-appearing in Held
adjoining their cemetery clad in white
shfoud and slowly walking up and down.
But the stiff exercise of walking did not
seem exertion enough for his spectral mus
Giles, as he was seen to stoop frequently
and now and then 10 squat on the ground
for several minutes. He repeated his visits
every night except when there was bright
moonshine, of which he seemed rather shy.
He preferred cloudy sky. The popula.
tion of lvry turned out in groups night
after night to see, with the last uncanny
stroke OF the midnight clock, the dismal
phantom raise itself to height much
above the size of any form In the flesh,
issuing from ditch just behind the wall
of the cemetery and beginning Its walk
diversified by its peculiar antics. The
more courageous of the crowd ventured
little nearer the specter and emptied the
five chambers of their revolvers upon 1t.
But the ghost was proof against any bul.
lets fred at such long range. No lady OF
Ivry ventured near the graveyard even in
DAYTIME without reliable companion by
her side and without crossing herself an
additional half -hundred times. The priest
tried his most approved methods OF exor
cism without effect, the sprite did not con-
sent to be layed by such means. In the
end there was nothing left but to inform
the police. The inspector detailed half O
dozen of his most trusted daredevil blue
coats, not without reminding them that
Pranzini was actually dead and not able to
withstand firm grip. 80 they went Ia
attend upon his ghostship, who did not
fail to appear at the stroke of 10. At first
they stood in awe. But they observed all
his actions, which were very far from
spirit like. At length the posse took cour'
age, approached stealthily, and at a given
signal precipitated themselves upon the
figure at the moment when it was quietly
Squirting upon the ground. They found
its hands busy in unearthing potatoes. q

Rail Men Want n Chance.
Nebraska State Journal. !

lNeDraSka SIAUe JOurndl.
In view OF the demand made so loudly
in some quarters for the suppression OF
speculation in food products, the agits-
ton that has been begun among the iron
and steel men for the extension OF the
future delivery system to their products
is Of peculiar interest. 1t is claimed on
behalf of the farmer that grain gam
bling and speculation in food is great
damage to the producing classes OF the
country, and that the whole system OF
purchase for future delivery ought to
be abolished as device ofmiddlemen to
rob the grower and eater to support q
useless and expensive nOn-producer.
Now comes the manufacturer OF steel
rails with proposition to adopt stand
ard weight and shape Of rails for the
United States, in order that the mills
can be running constantly, instead Of
merely working when there are orders
on hand. Then it is proposed that these
rails be put on the speculative market,
like grain cotton, wheat and petro-
leum, and sold subject 70 future deliv-
cry precisely as those commodities are
sold on the great exchanges Of the
country. 1t urges that this system will
enable the mills to run the year round
without stopping, insure on the whole a
more stable market, and be Of benefit to
the user of steel rails as well as the
manufacturer.
The theory is that the products Of the
rolling mills will be carried by spec
ulators, or gamblers you choose to call
them so, who will depend upon their
ability to squeeze each other for their
profits. The passion for gaming is in
this way made 70 serve as the great re-
serve force or balance wheel for BUSH
ness, giving uniformity and system TO
trade, while the TRADING may itself be
almost as tickle road 70 wealth Is the
