quilted Him.
No man knoweth what may befall
when angry passions rise and over
whelm hun. The truth has just been
made apparent To Fred Zepnan, who
lives in Reserve township, near Pitts
burg, Pa, says an exchange. For rea-
sons not explained Mr., Zephan had be-
come displeased with his neighbor and
former friend, George Hoffman. He
determined on a unique plan Of revenge.
In pursuance of this plan he met
Hoffman ia the street and gazed ut
him with his steel-gray eye. The cold,
immoyable stare produced AN irritating
effect, and Hoffman uttered words of
feIfsive 20 ears polite and pious. The
plan was working. Zephan went at
once 10 "a magistrate and caused war
rant To be issued against Hoffman for
vic lating law Of 1898, which Furnishes
profanity and blasphemy with heavy
penalties.
The next day the offender was ar
raigned before Alderman Wagner for
trial. The accusation and the testi-
mony for the State were heard and
then Hoffman became a witness In his
own defence. lie spoke mildly and
after him came his wife. Her language
was stronger, as becometh the woman
who is called 20 speak in behalf Of her
husbands good name, and her words
offended and irritated ZephRn.
He accused her of unveracity, but
she talked on. And as she talked he
grew more and more excited, until he
fell into the frame Of mind In which
even truly good men sometimes know
not what they say. So when the trial
ended Hoffman came out Of the court
room a free man and guiltless under
the law, while against Zephan were
issued five warrants for using that
number Of straight up and down, iron
plated, unqualified oaths. Mrs. Hon

A New Sort Of Chest Troubling an
Iowa Town.
A black ghost has been frightening
the women and many of the men in
the town of Abba, Iowa. 1t is decid-
eddy funereal in its appearance. Instead
of being white and airy it is black as
night, and only disports itself while
the moon is at its height. In the sonthl
part of the city is house supposed to
be haunted. Years ago woman who
lived there mysteriously disappeared,
and it is from this house that the ebon-
lied spectre seems to base its opera
tions. 1t is in form a woman,
dressed in the deepest black,
and heavily yelled. 1t seems to have
schedule of hours, and never
appears earlier than III o'clock and he's
bern seen as late as o'clock in tie
morning. Lovers taking stroll are
confronted by it and put to flight by
the shade solemnly pointing a long
black finger at them. Her favorite
pastime seems to be to follow mac
companied women, and when they
gather up their raiment and flee she
simply stands and gazes wistfully after
them. She has been traced to the old
building, but no one has been found
brave enough to venture in after night

A model of ocean currents is TO be
exhibited ut the worlds fair which
will possess great practical value. This
model, which is huge scientific tank,
is made to represent the surface of the
earth spread out on an area of about
thirty feet square, the ocean and seas
being shown by actual water. Small
streams Of water are elected through
pipes under the model so that the
whole body of water moves exactly as
the ocean currents move. Tn. direc-

st. COLUMBIA left Ireland in the year
500 with dozen companions, and on
the evening of Whit Monday, 1871 years
ago exactly, landed on the Island of
Iona, one of the Hebrides, which is re-
markable for two reasons, i. e.: From
the fact that St. Columbia banished
cows and women from its sacred COM
fines, also because of the different ways
the name of the island has been spelled.
During the thousand years following
the close of the sixth century, says the
Detroit Sun, the name was variously
rendered as /, Ii, la, 10, Hy, Hi, Hi,
HE, Hio, HUI, Heu, Huy, Hin, Y and vi
1t is also known as Icolmkill, I-columb-
kille and Hii-colum-kille, besides Iona,
which is believed to be a misnomer, it
being thought that the m should be
''u."
When COLUMBIA landed on this par
ticular Hebride he gave orders that no
COW or woman should be admitted
Because" he argued, wherever there
is COW there will be a woman. and
where there is a woman there will be
mischief"
To this day the chief reasons why the
tourists visit Iona in such numbers is
because it is known to tradition as

a nnco netween sun and shot.

The highest velocity ever given to a
cannon ball is estimated at 1926 feet
per second, being equal to a mile in 30
seconds. The velocity of the earth at
the equator, due to its rotation on its
axis, is 1000 miles per hour, or mile
in $40 seconds. Therefore, if a cannon
ball were fired due west and could
maintain its initial velocity it would
beat the sun in his apparent journey
around the earth.

POLK FOR PRESIDENT.

Another good thing they did over
in North Carolina the other day
they agreed to present Col. L. L.
Folks name at Omaha for the head
of the ticket
We make no doubt that Georgia,
and every other Southern State will
second the nomination. In fact, had
opportunity presented, Geogia would
like to have been the first to have
nominated the man whom all men re-
spect and honor.
We believe, too, that the West
will not contend too strongly against
the head of the ticket coming from
the South.
The West has great big gener-
Gus heart and will we know consider
the situation calmly and without
prejudice and without selfish ends in
view.
The West will remember that ow-
ing to that which has past the South
has had no candidate for President
for very many years. So long has it
been since the South had candidate
for President that she is no longer
regarded by the two old parties as
having any right to recognition in
this respect, and no act of yielding on
her part is construed as an act of
generosity.
The South cannot be generous In
this matter of candidates. Even in
the new party the North out votes
her in convention.
# generosity is shown, therefore it
must be by the North, by the West
by the great hearted and open
handed men of the West.
And there are reasons why it would
be the part Of wisdom to be generous
in this matter-reasons which will
occur to ever thinking person.
The New Party is not only to
bring financial relief to the people of
the whole country, but it is to bring
harmony between all sections. Rather
it is to bring harmony that by united
action we may obtain financial relief.
We will not say that harmony can
only be secured by giving the South
the head of the ticket for it would
not be true. The South will stand
gallantly and Loyalty by the West in
the support Of any good Western
man who may be put at the head :;
but it would be regarded by our
Southern people as most kind and
brotherly act it would create a new
and indissoluable tie; it would make
our contest for victory over a relent-
less and bitter enemy here in the
South hundred fold easier if the
West were to concede the head Of
the ticket to that section which has
so long had no honors shown it
which has 50 long felt that it had no
staunch and generous friend to coun-
sci with and stand by.
