AN INDIAN GHOST STORY.

1t Describes an All-Night Contest Between
Young Brave and Spooh.
Among the ghost stories with moral
which have been told thousand times
by Indians who claim knowledge Of
ancient history and unseen wonders,
one deals with the power achieved by
certain, celebrated chiefs by fighting
with and overcoming superhuman OBJ
jects. The story runs that young
Indian of exceptional strength was
stopped one winters night by terri
ble-looking object something like
human being, but very tall and devoid
OF arms or legs. It had every appear
ance of a corpse, except that it fought
with great activity. The unequal and
uncanny contest continued through the:
night, but as day began to dawn the
young man caught a strong hold upon,
his adversary and refused to let him go.
BE continued the fight until he was in
sensible, and when he recovered his
reason he found himself battered all
over and badly injured. But he ig-:
nored the pain because he was told by
the wise men of his tribe that having:
fought ghost without being worsted.
he would have superhuman power to;
the end of his days. This proved to be-
correct, for he was able single-handed
to fight a whole squad of men, and
rigors of climate had no fears for him.
This story is told in connection with
the very old superstitution that the
man who conquers a ghost can conquer
the world

ss ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 27.-As inds-
Gated from various points In Minnesoe
ia, North and South Dakota and north
sern Iowa Thursday was one of the hot
test ever recorded in the north
west. From 100 to 112 in the shade
is reported. The long continued
heat is proving disastrous to crops.
Wheat in South Dakota is reported
nearly all out Of the way, but corn
must have rain Immediately to save it.
The same conditions exist in northern,
Minnesota. Reports from northern
Iowa say corn Is injured beyond the
power of rain to restore The situation
is some better in North Dakota. Fol
lowing are some of the records re-
ported.

reported.
DIES MONIES. "a, July 27.-The heat
here Thursday was the greatest in ten
years according to official records.
The wind blew all day almost gale
from the southwest. 1t was SO hot
that it dried up what was left of green
grass. Agricultural Iowa is in de-
plOrable condition 80
OMAHA. Neb., July 27.-An unprece-
dentedly hot wind is blowing over Ne
braska from the south and is doing
irreparable.damage to corn. The wind
feels as if it came from fur
mace. and it is blasting corn
as effectually as prairie fire.
At noon Thursday the thermometer
registered 103 in the shade. From
all parts of the territory tributary to
Omaha, a strip of 800 miles north and
south and 500 miles east and west,
come reports of the terrible effects of
the hot winds. A special from Chad
ron says rain fell there just after &
o'clock p. m. Thursday. The tempera-
ture there reached 1O8.
HASTINGS, Neb., July 2s.-Thursday
was the hottest day in the history OF
central Nebraska, 10 degrees in the
shade here. The hot wind prevailing
has completely ruined the prospects
for corn in central Nebraska and no
amount of rain would be of any avail
now.
BLOOMINGTON. Ill, July 2s.-Thurs-
day was the hottest day of all this un-
precedentedly warm summer. The mer-
curry was above 100 degrees most of the
day, averaging one degree higher than

BERLIN, July 31.-Advices received
here from Seoul by way of Shanghai
show that upon the refusal of Corea to
accede to Japan's demand that the
Chinese troops be sent out of the coun-
try, the Japanese advanced on Seoul.
After short encounter, in which the
Coreans were defeated, the Japanese
occupied the royal palace. The king
of Corea thereupon asked the foreign
representatives to intervene.
Adispatch from Shanghai gives fur
ther details of the recent naval en-
gagement One OF the japanese war
ships got within comparatively short
distance of the transport Kow Shing
and discharged a torpedo at her.
The missile was well directed
and struck the transport fairly. A
terrific explosion followed and the
Kow Shing began at once to.fill. Prior
to the discharge of the torpedo the
crew of the transport, which was
armed, and the military force on board
: of her made hard fight against the
attacklng force. Many or those on
board of her were shot dead on her
deck.
The loss Of life was very great, OF
nearly 1900 Chinese troops On board of
her only forty were saved. They were
picked up by the French gunboat

WAsHINGToN, July so. -Itis admitted
in diplomatic circles here that the king
of Corea is virtual prisoner, but it is
insisted that actual possession of his
person has not been taken by the Jap

palace of the Corean king is surround
ed by large grounds and that around
these the Japanese have placed an
armed guard, SO as to control the
movements of the king.

telegram from the captain of the

which was conveying the Wellman
arctic expedition to the edge Of the

at the nearest place the Erling touched
at, saying that all were well on board.
The Ragnvald Jarl had been beset by
pack-ice which had delayed her prog
ress considerably. But We1lman and
his party were then free OF the ice and
they should now be well on their way
to the north pole.

Glad to SEQ Them.

& Three American women abroad one.
pleasant Sunday morning dropped into.
chapel in the west of Ireland during
service. The priest, who had just be-
gun the celebration, saw the strangers
out of the tail of his eye. There were
no pews in the chapel. So the rev.
erend father, hastily summoning the
big boy who was serving him, whis-
pered: '"Three chairs for the Amer
lean ladies, Michael; three chair for
the American ladies' The boy
looked astonished for moment
and then walked briskly to the
altar rail and facing the kneeling
congregation of peasants and the three
strangers, he yelled at the top of his
voice: ''Three cheers for the American
ladies" The congregation and the
priest, and the American ladies, too,
were paralyzed at the unexpected OUT
burst. But the good father saw in
stantly that he had been misunder-
stood, and went quietly on with the
service as if nothing remarkable had
happened. AS for the dear American
ladies', they never knew the difference,
but they said afterward that the Irish
were certainly the most exuberant
people that they had ever met.
