A delegation of miners from BoiS.
court, Linn county, visited Kansas City,
Kansas, soliciting assistance for the
striking coal miners. They carried q
paper signed by a number of county
officials, stating the case and the local
situation OF the miners. They visited
the court house and the merchants and
representatives Of the labor organiza-
tions, and secured very liberal response
from nearly all the places visited. The
members Of the delegation stated that
they were forced TO take this method Of
securing help from the public on ac-
count OF the actual restitution among
the striking miners. They have ex-
hausted all local support and assistance.
The police Of Kansas City, Kan, have
again begun war upon the drivers of
the beer wagons Officer Nash arrested
one OF Helms drivers and seized load
OF beer that he had with him. He was
locked up, but later released on $50
cash bond, until Monday, when the case
will be called in the police court. 1t will
probably be continued at that time, as
the company's attorney stated that the
case would not be ready for trial. The
company was very indignant over the
arrest and will fight the case bitterly.
The drivers are charged with doing
retail business here without license.
They drive about over the city taking
orders, delivering the goods and collect
ing the money. The police claim it is
illegal and must stop.
Ex-Governor Samuel J. Crawford has
been stopping at Baxter Springs for
the past two weeks, investigating the
mineral resources OF Cherokee county
and the Indian territory adjoining. He
has purchased three fine farms within
two miles Of this city, where mineral in
dications are most favorable, and will at
once commence prospecting for lead and
zinc ore on an extensive SCALE The
governor is closing up his Washington
City affairs and will spend most of his
time in and about Baxter Springs. He
says the climate and resources of this
county are superior to anything he has
found in the west. The crops are good,
money seems to be plenty, and business
was never better The coal strikes in
the northern part of the county have re-

Chanute Tribune: Smith Day, our
county commissioner, has been over in
Wilson county, examining the oil and
gas wells over there. He says the com
pany has struck number of very strong
gas and oil wells, and are still pushing
the work Of drilling wells. One gas well
that Mr.. Day saw, he gives it as his
opinion that it would be strong enough
to light our city and furnish it with fu-
el. Many Of the wells, although tightly
plugged with rubber balls, are yet
flowing oil into large tanks. The COM
pany has expended about $4,000 al
ready in prospecting, and will expend
great deal more. They are now pros
pecting near Benedict. One of the en-
gineers or managers told Mr.. Day that
the field was far the best one this side
of the Mississippi river. They also struck
a very heavy deposit of rock salt in one
Of their wells.

BRITISH educators have sent a COM
mittee Of women to this country to
investigate the educational methods
prevailing in our public schools, and
to ascertain those of its features
which it is desirable to embody in
the bill now being prepared for pres
entation to Parliament with a view
to improving the educational meth
DDS in England. This is pleasing
tribute to the American system of
education and the eminent fitness of
women as educators.

A Noble Corps Of Ignoble Men.

Probably the most remarkable
army division in the world is the
soreign legion Of France. 1t is this
legion which is invariably sent into
the greatest danger. Whenever
there are hardships to be borne to
which the French authorities do not
care to expose the regular troops the
foreign legion is invariably desig-
mated for that purpose.
Naturally the question arises:
Why is this so?
The character Of the men who fill
its ranks is the explanation.
Almost without exception they are
men who, while brave beyond ques-
tion, have past which they wish to
bury. Many of them are serving un-
der incognitos and place no value
upon their lives. Fully 80 per cent

TIE English language is spreading

The English language is spreading
through the civilized world, but it is
curious to note that a considerable
number in the British isles do not
speak it. In Jersey, French is the
most common language, while in
parts Of Ireland, Wales, and Scot
land the Gaelic tongue is spoken,
to the exclusion Of English. The
Emigration from these countries to
the United States has been almost
exclusively Of those who spoke En-
glish, though from Wales and the
south of Ireland there are many in
this counary who understand Gaelic
when they hear it, though they can
not speak 1t very plainly.

that his wife's conduct during his

boat, covered with shawls and a
tarpaulin, she had the pleasing habit
of humming strain Of his jovial sea-
song. The poet, who loved the sea,
but loved it best at a distance, had
very little life just then, but what
force he had was used in the entreaty:

Yet no doubt he loved the seal

Rhinebeck, N. Y, is fine old Dutch
American town in the valley of the Hud-
son, the summer home Of Vice President
Morton. Recently many Rhinebeckers
have taken up the notion that the vicinity
Is haunted. The ghost is in the form of a
tall old woman in black, and many have
seen it-not the superstitious only, but the
cool, nervy and hard headed.
John Judson was the first to see her (or

Sinclare was the next reliable person TO en-
counter the strange woman. He met her on
the outskirts Of the village about 10 o'clock
at night. She was pacing in the middle Of
the road with her head bent low and her
long arms clasped behind her Sinclare
merely took one look.
She was next seen in a schoolhOuse at dusk
by the sChoolteacher, Miss Welch, who fol-
lowed the usual rule in such cases by
ptreaking it for home. In the next six
weeks she was seen by many, always in the
same guise-that of very tall old woman
in black. The old town constable and de-
tective, Gus Quirk, thinks it is a tall young
man doing the funny business, but the sin
gular feature of it is that whenever any one
tries to get good view of it the apparition
vanishes into the woods All the asylums
are appealed to for information of any es-
capped lunatic

oaths in Olden Times.

The Roman oath of olden times was
made with great solemnity and elabora-
ton In Roman mythology Juno, max
ing promise to sleep, strengthened it
by taking the heavens in one hand and
the earth in the other. Greeks and Ro-
mans swore by their gods, by the Styx, by
Olympus, by hell, by their sacred springs,
wells and rivers, and by the sun and the
moon Their oaths were of much value
and meaning during the early days of the
republic, but worthless after they became
corrupt.
Oaths lost their sanctity and became
colloquial or profane at a very early time
among the Jews Greek ladies swore
daintily by Venus, Diana and Juno, and
now and then by some male god whose
name was frequently taken in vain by
their liege lords. The French monarchs,
too, had their own peculiar forms of
oaths. st. Louis Republic.

Leo is the 257th pope. Twenty-four Of
his predecessors were Johns, 16 were Greg

cents, II Leos, 9 Pulses, BOnifaces,
Pauls, S Urbans, Alexanders, 10 Stephens,
6 Adrians and each named Sextus, Mich
olas, Martin and Celestine. In the earliest
days of the church the prelates raised to the
pOntifcate retained their own names, but
the custom of adopting the name of some
predecessor has obtained for some centuries.
Fifteen of the popes have been French
men, l3 have been Greeks, have been Syr-
JAMS, 6 have been German. Spaniards, 2
came from Africa and each from Savoy,
England, Sweden, Dalmatia, Holland Por-
sugal and Crete. Since 1923 all the popes

than any of his predecessors, his pontiical
life extending over period of 81 years. St.

from A. d. 80 to &c. St. Felix II, the 37th
pope who died in 3G6, was the first pope to
die natural death. Eight popes died with

The pontifical court is the only Byzantine
court now left in existence. Its officers are

Etiquette has largely given place to ease in

CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

In North Dakota exhibit at the fair
there are LAG exhibits OF wheat and 300
kinds Of grain.
The gates of the fair grounds at Chr
Cago are to be kept open until ii o'clock
at night hereafter.
The expected Worlds Fair traffic from
Europe has thus far failed to materialize,
while the Eastward travel seems to be
undiminished.
Paymaster General Stewart has COM
pleted statement of expenditures of
the naval review. The total expense of
the review was $4,000.
Internal revenue officers actually
seized miniature distillery on exhibit
ton at the Worlds Fair, because all of
the red-tape techncalities had not been
complied with in setting it up.
The exposition authorities have set
apart October 10 to "a for the big re-
union of war veterans, both Confederate
and Union. The Grand Army posts will
make efforts to bring all the old soldiers
possible to Chicago.
Another attraction is being arranged
by the exposition authorizes and the
people of Midway PlaisanCe. 1t is pro-
posed that all the natives take part in a
grand ball, to be given the first week in
July. The ball proper is to be preceded
by grand march and the exhibition OF
all the strange dances to be seen on the
Midway.
The Methodists will not withdraw
their exhibit from the Worlds Fair
After three hours discussion commit
tee decided to cover up all exhibits of
the church Sundays, and all members
of the church are asked to do the same
with their individual exhibits.
Canada outstripped her competitors
in the June exhibit of cheese. There
were 667 exhibits, mostly of factory
cheese. OF these 1876 scored high enough
to win medals or diplomas, 126 of them
being Canadian manufacture. Thirty
one Canadian lots scored higher than
any from the United States, ranging in
excellance from 80 per cent down.
The council of administration will
hereafter have full authority over all
matters of general administration con-
nected with the exposition. The
directors have adopted the report of the
executive committee as outlined last
week. This action abolishes all the
committees of the local directory,
except the executive, finance and legis-
lative, and charges the council of ad-
ministration with carrying out the
orders of these three committees. The
council has been given authority to dis
charge or employ any officers.
