vIctim of Somnambullsm.

Lars Christianson, whose death at
Albion was reported to have been
caused by sunstroke, was in reality a
victim of somnambulism. He arose
from his sleeping apartments, and in
making an attempt to descend the
flight of stairs he made misstep
which caused him to lurch headlong
downward, consequently alighting on
his head and shoulders at the bottom,
causing almost instant death. After
summoning a physician it was found
his neck was broken and one shoulder
dislocated.

Married m the storm.

A rather novel marriage occurred out
on Lake Superior on the propeller
Japan. Robert Inglis, of Bayfield, and
Mrs. Walton, of Philadelphia, were
married by Dean Gardner, of Omaha,
while the boat was tossing in a storm.
Both parties are prominent aud well
known and the marriage was great
surprise to their friends at Ashland
Mrs. Walton is a summer tourist
visitor and the romantic marriage
caused quite fiutter in social circles.

A Pearl Fishery.

Maiden Rock has pearl fishery and
there is considerable excitement n the
vicinity. The clans are found in water
from 10 to 20 feet deep, and divers are
kept busy furnishing pearl seekers
with shells to open. The bottom of
the river is strewn with thousands of
clans, but heretofore there has been
no systematic search for pearls. The
divers are also making considerable
money out of the craze, more than the
openers in most cases, as they charge
one dollar per bushel delivered on the
shore.

LOWER TARIFF ON GRAIN.

Germany TO Make Further Concessions to
This Country-A Modified Schedule on
Grain and Provisions Produced in the
United stated TO BE Issued in Berlin.
WASHINGTON. Sept 7.-Germany is
going to follow its removal of the en-
barge on American pork by making
tariff concessions on grains and pro-
visions from the United States. The
German government is not ready to adj
NIT this fact officially because the de-
tails have not been agreed
on, but in the near future
proclamation may be looked for
from Berlin giving a modified tariff
schedule on this class of importations
from the United States The plan is to
give this country the same concessions
that are given Russia under the favored
nation clause of its treaty with GER
many. Russia is selected because Of its
recent order prohibiting the expectation
of rye, which cut off an important
source of Germany'S food supply. The
German legation has been making in
quiries recently at Chicago and other
grain centcrs as to what the United
States could do in making good the
deficiency This country has been
sending Germany $4,000, 600 to So
100000 bushels; now it wants
5O,OOO 600 bushels Secretary Rusk
has had pet notion that if
the Europeans understood fully the
nutritious quality of the Indian corn
or maize grown in the Unite States
they would draw largely on it to
make up for the frequent failure of
their wheat crop. So the attention of
the German government was turned TO
corn as well as to rye and wheat
All these matters were dis
cussed in the negotiations for
the removal of the pork en-
barge, and the suggestion that the
kaiser's subjects would be pleased to
get American grain on more favorable
terms was well received, especially as
a large element in the empire was
clamoring for it. The outcome was the
arrangement which is soon to be pro-
claimed at Berlin

WAVES ROLLED WILDLY.

A Rare Sight Witnessed by Visitors at
Asbury Park, y. J.-They Are Treated
to View of "a Monster Waterspout 800
Feet in Height
AsBURY PARK, n. j., Sept. THE
visitors who journeyed to the beach
Saturday to watch the unusually heavy
sea were treated to a sight rarely wit
messed near shore. About Q o'clock the
wind was blowing furiously from the
northeast. Suddenly the sea, at a
spot near the shore, was unusually
agitated and as the eyes of all were
directed to the spot d. huge water
spout formed and began moving sea-
ward in southeasterly direction The
volume of water was balloon-shaped
and was fully 800 feet high There
was no vessel in its track, but Tyler
Emmons, fisherman, narrow
ly escaped being caught by
the mountain of water. He saw
it approaching and pulled his
boat out of the way Of the swirling
column, which passed within 100 yards
of him. The waterspout left in it's
wake broad track Of foaming water
and the incoming breakers rolled
mountain high for half an hour after
the spout disappeared.
The bluff at Long Branch has been
eaten away in many places and bulk
heads badly scattered, especially in
front of the Octagon hotel, by a high
sea and heavy wind. at Sea Bright
the Highland Beach railroad tracks are
inundated. In this village streets are
washed out, while in the lowlands near
here the first floors Of dwelling houses
are flnnded

Rich ore at Mellen.

1t has long been believed that the
very richest part of the ore deposits of
the Gogebie range We're located near
Mellen. John Elsner, while surveying
lots for Samuel Ogrady, noticed that
the compass on the instrument would
not work Upon investigation he dug
about four feet into the bluff and dis
covered the very highest grade of ore
in the ledge. Samples of the ore show
it to be very fine grade.
