Remarkable Story of What Happened
From Drinking Water Having Iron In 1T.

Remarkable Story of What Happened
From Drinking Water Having Iron In 1t.
A remarkable story comes from the
upper Yakima country, Washington.
Two years ago Peter Stromstadt located
OH IL piece of land near what is now
known as Borax Springs, his family
consisting of his wife and two children.
A few days after his settlement Stro,n-
stadt discovered Il spring close to the
shack he had built, the water of which.
was strongly impregnatcd with iron,
but not unpalatable. Stromstadt dug
and dcepened the spring, and since .Ju-
ly, 1898, tho family has used the water
for all domestic purposes.
One night recently II heavy electric
storm passed over the cascades, accom-
panied by vivid displays of lightning.
The following day Mrs. Stromstadt,
while kindling a fire i'll the stove, found
it almost impossible to separate the
stove litter from her hand. Her hus-
band, hearing her scream, ran to her
assistance, when to his surprise lie
found that lie, too, experienced great
difficulty i'll detaching any article of
iron with which his hands came in con-
tact. Breakfast was finally prepared,
and the family sat down to the meal
The children, girls of 5 and years re-
spectivelv, drank their milk from tin
cups, and upon raising their cups to
their mouths fonnd themselves unable
to detach the cups from their lips.
Stromstadt, who is an intelligent immi-
grant from Sweden, was nonpluscd,
and while unable to account for the
wonderful occurrence nevertheless
laughed ut his wifc's excited declarl-
lions that the family was bcwitched
A member of the Portland (Or. J
Academy of Science, to whom the cir
cumstances We're related. says that the
Stromstadt family has become saturated
with iron, which was rendered magnet
ic by the passaseof electricity from the
clouds to the earth during the recent
electric storm. Stromstadt himself takes
the matter philosophically and, aside
from tho Inconvenience of having his
head decorated with Il fringe of knives,
forks and teaspoons. which are attached
to him, is inclined to regard the occur
renee lightly.

THINK WELL OF THEIR TOWN.
Residents of an Ohio City Have Faith In
Its Future Greatness.

Its future Greatness.
Ono of the newspapers Of Columbus,
o., has been interviewing prominent
citizens as to their idea of the progress
the city will have made in 100 years
from the present time. The answers re-
ceived are doubtless Of small account as
prophecies, but it is interesting to note
what faith Americans have i'll the des-
TIMES which are to be wrought ont i'll
the next century, The probable popnla-
ton of Columbus i'll 1895 is set by most
of the guesscrs ut 500, 900, though some
are inclined to venture a figure even as
high as ] 900. 900 souls. the area of the
city proper will include from IL to 30
square miles. and the taxable property,
reckoned on the present basis. will not
be less than 5000, 900, 600. The ground
for these large estimates of the probable
growth Of Columbus is the fact that the
city is II railroad center. and as such is
likely to increase rapidly i'll commercial
importance. Passenger transportation
i'll this millennium of the prophets will
be by means of some sort of aerial nuvi-
CATION, and the street railroads of today
will be either entirely abandoned or i'll
u state of hopeless bankruptcy OF ac
count of lack of patronage. One local
patriot was moved to predict that the
Ohio State university, which has its seat
ut Columbus, will on this centennial
anniversary he numbering its students
by the thousand.

OUR OLDEST THEATER.
Relic of the Early American Stage Being
Torn Down In Savannah.

Torn Down In Savannah.
A building believed to be the Oldest
tleater i'll America is now being demol-
ishcd at Savannah to give place to %
new amusement structure with lar
ger setting capacity and all the modern
improvements. The Savannah thcatcr
was built i'll 1918 and has remained up
to the present day practically without
change. During all of this time it has
witnessed the growth of Savannah from
small and ill paved town to ono of the
finest cities i'll the world, and war and
pcstilence have ragged about it without
altering its original character.
There arc many traditions connected
with the old structure now being torn
down, and it has harborcd within its
walls all of the great theatrical lights
who have made the history of the Amer
lean stage. When rummaging through
the rooms of the old structure, workmcn
came upon Il spinning wheel covered
with dust and worm eaten. The old spin
ming wheel excited much discussion and
curiosity. People were at loss to ac-
count for the presence of this article of
domestic use i'll such a place until some
remembered that such i, wheel had been
used i'll scenes OF "Faust" and MAR
tina
Then it turned ont that this was the
wheel which had been used by Jenny
Lind when she sang in the opera of
"Martlla" at this thcuter. 1t had been
brought to America from the Haymar-
liet theater i'll London 76'years ago, and
having been an old one at the time is
believed to be at least 100 years old.
Nobody knows who built the old
theater It is known to he at least "a
years of age, but its early days are
shrouded i'll uncertainty. It's late man
age. says that i'll his opinion it is the
Oldest theatcr i'll the world standing i'll
its original condition.
1t has been impossible for years to
get amy one to sleep i'll the theatcr be-
cause OF IL popular superstition that it
| was haunted. On account of this alb
sencc OF Il Waterman Il queer thing hap
pened many years ago which is still re-
lated i'll Savannah us mysterious. The
manager, coming one morning to the
theatcr, found in tho center dressing
room Il hole about two feet i'll diameter
burned right through tho floor. There
was no other evidence of fire, and an ex-
animation showed that there had been
no means of ingrcss to the building

TO THE POLE BY BALLOON
a Talk With One of tic Acron:.u,s Who

A gentleman Just returned from Lon

logical office, an honorary member Of
the meteorological society of London,
who is to be one of the three persons
who will join Mr.. Antlrce in an attempt

gions He is now about IL years of age.

will start not later than July, 1898,
and the ascent will take place from Il

will he taken for The safety of thc aero
nauts, and the Swedish Academy of Sci
cncc will not give its consent to the en-
petition until it has carefully examined
every detail. Mr.. Ekholm said that,
while he fully understood the great dan
gers of the enterprise. it must be re-
membcrcd that the whole business will
be managed bymen who are accustomed
to the difficulties of such work IN con
trasting Mr.. Andree's expedition with
that of Nanscn, Mr.. I.kholm argues
that his risks are not nearly so great as
those of Nansen. Mr.. Andrce. he says,
will trust to winds which are IL great
deal quicker and i'll many ways safer
than those of the ocean, and he does not
consider that the members of the bal

Efficiency of Sand Filtration.

The report of the analysis of IS sam
pies of the water collected during the
month Of February last from the mains
of the London Water companies should
remove any doubt rs to the value of
sand filtration in the treatment of mn-
nicipal water supplies. meteorological
examinations made daily of the water
from the general filter wells into which
the water enters after passing through
the sand beds showed an average for the
month of Al bacteria to the cubic cent?

before filtration contained 1884 bacteria
to the same volume. London may justly
be proud of Il system of water purifica-
ton that SO thoroughly destroys the

HARLAN's BOOM.
The Supreme Court Judge Said to Have an
Eye on the Presidency.

Eyc on the Presidency.
A new presidential boom is now crop
ping out and is likely to cause much
talk and receive considerable attention
among certain elements of both the
Democratic and Republican parties,
chiefly located i'll the south and west.
The new presidential candidate is Asso-
ciate Justice Harlan of tho supreme
court, whose dissenting opinion on the
income tax case created such u scene at
the capitol.
The gossip regarding Mr.. Harlan's
supposed candidacy for the Office of pres
ident has up to the present time been
chiefly confined to the members of the
supreme court itself. Those who be-
licve that Mr.. Harlan is preparing to
loom up for presidential honors say
that he is by nature as mucha politician
as he is Il great, honorcd and powerful
jurist. They say that his speech before
the supreme court evidently had i'll view
IL purpose outside of that court, and
that. purpose was no less. they assert,
than to attract to himself the great body
of discontinued and restless people III

parties, us we'll rs among the Populists,

TO coLoNlze THE WEST.
Arid Lands tn BE Developed by Irrigation
and Eastern Colonista.


1t has been years since the cry of
sWestward, hot" has been heard i'll the
eastern states, and meantime the cities
and thriving manufacturing centers east
Of the Mississippi have been rapidly fill
ing to the point of overcrowding until
labor is Il drug on the market. Mining,
which attracted so many hundreds of
people from the east many years ago,
has lost it's glamour, hunting and trap
ping have too many devotecs already to
encourage more to enter this life today,
granger life OH the western scale re-
quires too much capital, and the too
plentiful foreclosure of western farm
mortgages has been discouraging to
those who may have been considering
emigration. All these things have tend
ed to stagnate the population of the
cast, and the result is alarming TO all
concerned, capital and labor alike.
An opportunity has presented itself at
last through what is known as the Carey
law, passed by the Fifty third congress,
by which each of eight western states
was granted 100000 acres of arid
lands located within their borders on
condition that they utilize them for
agriculture, through irrigation, and
prove to the secretary of the interior
that their irrigation plans are feasible.
Five OF the eight states have accepted
tho proposition, and one more is expect
ed to reply favorably before long. The
national irrigation congress, Il body
composed of delegates from 23 western
states, has appointed Il national irriga-
tion commission, which bodyis engaged
i'll forming colonies totake upthesc arid
lands and carry them on by irrigation
under proper and scientific direction.
1t is the purpose of thecommisson to
form colonial clubs throughout the cast
wherever there is Il congestion OF popu-
lation, and these clubs will disseminate
information concerning the present and
future possibilities of the western corln-
try. 1t is not intended to send out sep
arate families, which would certainly
become cntanglcd in difficulties if not
properly directed. Whole colonies are
to be organized and dispatched to favor
able localities, with men competent to
teach them the solution of the problem
of irrigation and agriculture. These
colonists it is proposed to organize on
the principles upon which the successful
Mormon colonies We're carried on. An
organization to he known as the Plym-
outh colony is now being formed to
take up lands i'll Idaho. Each member
of this colony is to furnish 81, 900 CAPT
tai. The land is to be taken i'll small
holdings and the whole managed on
the basis of u cooperative village.
