Tho residents Of Harris Corners, q
farming community 10 miles east Of
this city, are agog over the deiugs Of q
witch. Several days ago young farm
er named Howard Hughes dug . well
upon . small hill, and when he had got
to what be believed to be sufficient
depth, much to his surprise, no water
appeared. He cogitated upon the mat
ter, and being . iirm believer in witches
and hobgoblins concluded that some
person had Gust a spell upon his land.
Within the limits Of this city lives
Dr.. Hon, an octogenarian, who deals in
herbs and claims supernatural powers.
To this strange old man Hughes repair
ed and hired him to 60 down to his
place and locate the trouble. Hoff went
with him, and building a fire threw
some OF his powders into it, and while
the fire burned consulted the spirits
through a powwow performance. He
told Hughes that the absence Of water
in his we'll was due to a neighbor
named Culp. who was a wizard, with
u poisonous breath and an evil eye, and
that tho we'll would remain dry until
he (Culp) was dead. Since the old
witch doctor revealed this startling in
formation the Hughes and dozen other
families who believe in witchc-aft have
ceased all intercourse with Culp and
avoid him as they would the evil one.
The affair has caused such stir that
tho matter resolved itself into n special
meeting held in the Methodist church
OF the village, to which all these people
belong. The Rev. J. E. HOLSTER of
this city. the pastor Of the church. PIE
sided ind called upon Hughes and his
followers to disavow witchcraft and
treat Culp rs 4 brother or leave the
church. This they refused to do, and
church trial will result.
Last spring Miss Sadie Loop, men,
bcr Of the church. was expelled Mt a
church trial for asserting that Culp was
q wizard, and it was thought at that
time that the ridiculous superstition
had been stamped out.-Alliance (O.)

man lived. The first peasant refused to
say and was Immediately cut down.
The second, declining to give any infor-
nation, was stabbed. The other two
led the brigands to the house of be-
nevolcnt wealthy man, Hadshi Hue-
sein. The latter hcsitated to say where
his money was kept, but dagger driv-
en- through the muscles Of his right arm
and left there induced him to lead the
robbers to his safe, where they found
10000 rubles in gold and valuables
worth an equal amount. Hadshi Hus-
sein was afterward decapitated.
His housekeeper wore gold earrings,
which attracted the attention of the
murderen. In moment her ears were
cut from her head. She sprang to the
door, but was stabbed. Her cries had
alarmed the villagers, who opened a
fusillade upon the robbers. The latter
made desperate sortie. regained their
horses and made good their retreat,
leaving four dead victims. All efforts
have failed to unearth the band.

Arrangements for Completing and Fur
nishinx the St. Louis City Hall
Storage Batteries.
Sr.LoUIs, April 29.-City officials have
been in conference this week over the
final details for completing the cree
ton Of the new city hall. The only
question involved is one OF expense. 1t
has been about decided that 81 100000
will be sufficient to complete the re-
manning stories of the hall and have 1t
ready for occupation. Tho furnishings
will cost considerable sum in addi-
ton but the result will be eminently
satisfactory. 1t is probable that
some Of the offices on the ground floor
will be occupied almost Immediately.
One of these will he used by the Re
corder of Deeds, whose Office is now
in the court house, and by the time the
building is completed and occupied
throughout there will be great deal
of change in the arrangement of mum
icipal apartments.
There is a good deal OF rejoicing in
the city over the early prospect of get
ting rid of the trolley wires used by the
electric ronds- Electric cars are very
popular and provide an excellent serv-
ice, but it has always been regarded
as a temporary expedient to use the
trolley wire. Experiments made this
week seem to demonstrate the possible
ity of using n storage battery under
conditions which will prove even more
profitable to the railroads than the
trolley wire, besides doing away with
the inconvenience and danger. slight
as the latter has proved to be.
There has been very efficient sys-
tenn of milk inspection in operation IN
st. Louis for long time, but the city
is now going into the business of pro-
tecting its people from all kinds of
food authorizations. Twocity chemists
have just been appointed, and their
duty is to inspect any sort of food that
is brought to them by suspicious pur-
chasers. If they find that the food is
adulteratcd, they must prosecute the
seller, and the law puts it into their
power to punish him severely. IL they
will accomplish what the milk bureau
has for st. Louis, the people ought to
be satisfied. This bureau began active
work five years ago, when complaint
of the quality of the milk sold in the
city was general.
Every large city in the country has
trouble with its street signs. New
York. Philadelphia, Chicago and Bos-
ton have signs that do very well in the
ut night. St. Lonis is now spending
thousands of dollars in putting most
excellent system into operation The
city used to have the names of the
streets painted on the glass of the gas
lamps at the corners, but when cleo ric
lights were substituted for the gas, the
lamps were removed. Then black tin
signs, painted with white letters
were put on the houses at
the corners. They were as good
rs those of other big cities, but they
couldn't be read at night. Hum
mated signs are being put up now,
and the crowds who come here next
fall for the season of tho festivities
will be able to find their way about
the streets on the darkest night
Each sign has the name OF the street
painted in white letters on a dark
background, the whole enclosed with
glass. The letters shine brightly in
the dark, and the blacler the night is,
the brighter they are.
