Ka-Klux Khan Nomenclature.

The Ku-Klux Khan had the most
certifying system of nomenclature ever
known in the history of the English
language. A local lodge, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, was called a
Den, the members called themselves
Ghouls and the master Cyclops. A
country was province, which was gov
erned by Grand Giant and four Cob
Inns. 4 congressional district was
called dominion and governed by a
Grand Titan and six Furies. A state
was realm, presided over by Grand
Dragon and eight Hydras, while the
whole south was an empire, ruled by a
Grand Wizard and ten Genii Such
names as these cunningly repeated
with bated breath in the ears of the
superstitious colored people were OF
themselves sufficiently terrible to in
spire intense fear, but when to these
were added dragon banner, mask
descending to the breast. full assert
ment Of deadly weapons, a set of owl
boots and blood curdling wolf yells, no
wonder the colored people were thrown
into state of fright bordering on
lunacy.

AN INDIAN TRADITION
The Old Legend of the .StandIng Rock"
of North Dakota.

The Old Legend of the .StandIng Rock"
of North Dakota.
The Indian agency of Standing Rock,
located eleven miles north of the line
which divides the two Dakotas, takes
its name from a remarkable natural
formutiOn-a lone rock which stands in
such manner as to bear a strong re-
semblance to a human being. 1t is
even said that a faint stretch of the
Imagination gives the stone the out
lines of a woman with a pappoose in
her arms. According to Indian tradi-
ton, in ages long past young buck"
with his wife and baby, was journeying
through that region. At what is now
Standing Rock" they met a company
Of Indians going south. For several
days they Toasted and danced together,
until finally the time came for separat-
ing. The young married buck" and
wife were on the way to visit some of
their people on the lakes lying to the
north, and when the main company
started off south he resolved to accom-
pany them, leaving the heartbrozen
squaw and baby to continue the Jour
ney alone, he having fallen violently in
love with one of the young women of
the party The wife pleaded with tears
and heartrending shrieks for the pos
session of her lawful lord, but, with
true Indian stoicism, he rode off with
the new-found flame. FINALLY the grief
stricken woman asked the Great Spirit
to turn her to stone rather than let her
live and carry her great weight of sor-
row. Since that moment she has stood
upon the plain, monument to mans

L. Party Homeward Bound.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29.-President Har.
rison and the immediate members of his
family were driven from the cemetery
directly after the funeral to the residence
of Mr.. R. S. Mckee, where he rested and
after wards partook of luncheon.
Throughout the trying ordeal the
bereaved husband bore himself with re-
markable fortitude and his effort toward
self control was communicated to the
ladies of the party, enabling them to
maintain some degree of composure.
Mr.. Scott, the venerable father of Mrs.
Harrison, appeared like one in q dream
and was apparently oblivious to the try
ing features of the solemn occasion.
The great concourse of people which
surrounded the church and filled Crown
Hill cemetery yesterday testified better
than words can tell to the respect in
which the Presidents wife was held.
Nearly every citizen of this capital knew
and admired Caroline Scott Harrison,
and that her death was deplored as
personal affliction by those who were not
closely acquainted with her, was ap-
parent in the out-pouring of all classes

The funeral party left on it's return to
Washington at 7:30 in the evening.
During the few moments that re-
manned before the departure of the train
the President received the pail bearers
and few other intimates in his private
car, and feelingly expressed his gratitude
for the part they had taken in the SOL
emn event of the day. Just before the
train left the President dictated and
signed the following, with the request
that it should be furnished to the local
press:
''My dear friends and neighbors-I
cannot leave you without saying that the
tender and gracious sympathy which
you have shown to-day for me and for
my children, and, much more, the touch
ing evidences you have given for the
dear wife and mother, have deeply moved
our hearts.
eve yearn to tarry with you, and to
rest near the hallowed spot where your
loving hands have laid our dead; but the
little grandch ildren watch in wondering
silence for our return and need our care,
and some public business will no longer
wait upon my sorrow. May a gracious
God keep and bless you all.
Most gratefully yours,

FIGHT FOR A WIDOW.
A Bloody Duel in Idaho Between Two
Stock RaIsers.

A Bloody Duel in Idaho Between Two
Stock Ralsers.
GOLD HILL, Idaho, Oct. 29.-George
Barker and Henry Paxton fought duel
with knives fifteen miles from here.
Both will die and Maggie Brandt, over
whom the men quarrelled, will be dis
figured for life.
Both men are well-to-do stock raisers
and Mrs. Brandt, who is prepossessing
widow, was employed as a housekeeper
by man named Meserve.
She betrothed herself to both her lovers
and for nearly two months neither of
them suspected that anything was
wrong.
Last Saturday the two men met at Me-
serves house. Both drew large knives.
They were in u room about fifteen feet
square.
AS the half-crazed men clrcled about
the room they upset and broke articles of
furniture and at every blow blood flew.
Mrs. Brandt stood just outside the door
and witnessed the affray.
She did not call upon anyone to inter
fere, and it. is said she enjoyed the san
culinary scene
After fully ten minutes of desperate
fighting Barker fell from terrible
badly hurt. A blow from Bankers knife
nearly scalped him.
Mrs. Brandt rushed in and attempted
to embrace him, when he cut her nose off
and put out her eye with a slash.

THE MINISTER AN Ex-CoNvIcT.
How ii Shrawd Individual Imposed on the
Swiss Government.


Swiss Government.
BERNE, Oct 29.-The Swiss government
has cancelled the mission of the new
Minister from the Republic of Salvador,
in Central America. This action has
been taken in view of an astounding dis
covery to the effect that the Minister is
an exconvict, who had been in prison in
Paris, and whose measurement, from the
thumb to toe NAIL is now in the posses
sion of the Partisan police.
This convict diplomat is a Sicilian
adventurer who, finding the field for
brigandage in that island not sufficiently
profitable, perhaps too dangerous,
changed the scene of his operations to
the French capital, and there came to
grief
The description of him taken by the
French police before he had his head
shaved preparatory to a course of prison
diet and compulsory exercise, leaves no
doubt as to identity, and the Swiss gov
ernment is satisfied that the man is a
fraud and a Swindler.

AS the mail train was running be-
tween Pierrefitte and Villiers recently,
says a Paris letter, the clerks in the
postal van for Cologne were startled by
the noise Of an explosion, and discovered
that parcel addressed to Berlin was
IN flames and threatening to set fire to
the other contents of the sorting
tender. The box was therefore thrown
out of the window on to the line and
telegram sent to the nearest station
master to look out for it. On being re-
covered 1t was found to consist Of
cardboard box, which was completely

had entirely disappeared. 1t was dis
patched to Berlin by manufacturer of
combs, and is supposed to have con.
tanned articles made of celluloid, which.

a DREAM OF MURDER.
Verified Very Quickly by the Death OF tn,
Dreamer's Husband.

Verified Very Quickly by the Death OF thu
Dreamer's Husband.
A farmers wife dreamed that she was
walking near the house Of a rejected
lover, one O'Flanagan, attended by a
beautiful hound, of which she was
fond, when n raven dashed at him,
killed him, and, tearing out his heart,
flew away with it. She next imagined
that she was running home, and met
funeral, and from the coffin blood
flowed upon the ground. The bearers
placed it at her feet, opened the lid and
exhibited her husband, murdered, and
his heart torn out. She awoke, as
might be expected, in great terror. But
here follows the most incomprehensi-
BILE part of the narrative. Her hus-
band entertained an idiot cousin in the
house, and he in doggerel rhyme re-
peated the very same dream to gossip,
to whom the farmers wife had related
hers.
That very night, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, the farmer was murdered, and
the next morning the poor idiot, to the
horror of all, exclaimed as he rose from
his bed: "Ulick"-ULick Mcguire was
the farmers name-'is kilt! Shamus
dhu More kilt him." (Shamus dhu More
O'Flanagan big black james,, land
buried him under the new ditch at the
back of the garden. I dreamed it last
night-every word of it." Search was
made at the spot indicated by the dream,
and the body was found with the skull
nearly cleft in two. In the meanwhile
OFlanagan absconded and enlisted, but
was subsequently arrested, confessed his
crime and was executed.

An elderly person in a pea-jacket,
with frizzy whiskers and smell of
stale seaweed about him, was observed
on the beach at Asbury Park the other
day gathering driftwood. AS fast as he
secured an armful of>such flotsam and
jetsam he would carry it to the road
way on the other side of the board walk
and deposit it in a small wagon that
was attached to a cadaverous-looking
horse. Within less than an hour he had
fair load, and a Washington Star cor
respondent ventured to congratulate
him on getting his frewood so easily
and cheaply.

remarked, interrogatively.

Any thoughtful person who takes
notice of the driftwood along the
beaches cannot but be astonished at the
enormous quantities of it that are
thrown up by the waves, particularly
during and after big storms. 1t seems
beyond imagining where all of it comes
from. But it must be remembered that
the oceans are vast; that the craft sail
ing upon them are innumerable, and
that whatever is set afloat finds its way
eventually to the shore. At the same
time only small fraction of such ma
terial is actual wreckage from lost or
damaged vessels. Much of it represents
the debris of rotted piles which have
been destroyed by the teredo. The
bulllheads erected to resist the advance
Of the breakers are continually being
washed away, thus adding large con-
tribution. Wherever there is wood
under the water it is attacked and
quickly disintegrated by the destructive
agencies, among which the teredo is
chief. Thus people who live by the sea
need rarely patronize the wood dealer
for fuel.
