George Potter, salesman for the Hawkeye
Broom factory, created a little sensation
som time ago by leaving a dead horse and
an empty wagon on the roadside, a few miles
east Of town, and disappearing. 1t was
thought for a while that he had been robbed
and perhaps murdered, but later inquiries
proved that he had only sold his goods,
stolen his employers money. killed his
horse and left the country. Francis Smith,
proprietor of the broom factory, has received
word that Potter is located in Colorado. A
short time after he disappeared, his wife and
family quietly left the city. They were
traced 10 a town In Colorado. Smith has
not yet decided to bring the fellow back
and prosecute him for embezzlement He
feels, however, strongly tempted to do so,
for il was the second time Potter had
been guilty Of embezzling the broom fac
tory's money after he had sold goods en-
trusted to him.

REMARKABLE KANAKA DIVER.

Went Down to the Bottom to Release a
FouIed Anchor and Set q Ship Free.
Had 1t not been for the skill and en-
durance of a Kanaka shell diver, the
chances are that the barkentine John
d. Spreckles, which plies between this
port and the Hawaiian islands, would
have had to sacrifice a costly anchor
and chain while at Mahukona recently.
The vessel made her usual visit to that
little harbor, and, having discharged
her supplies and taken on considerable
sugar, tried to take her departure. The
seamen found, however, that the an
Choir had become fast to the rocks at
the bottom, and they could not dislodge
it. They waited for the turf of sew
eral tides. and still they could not free
the anchor.
Capt. Christensen did not want to
lose the anchor, and yet that seemed to
be the only way out of the predica-
mcnt. At last a happy thought struck
him. He sent ashore for a Kannka,
who was reputed to be a skillful diver,
and, when the dark-skinned fellow ar
rived, made a bargain with him to re-
lease the anchor, which was lying in
ten fathoms of water. This did not
seem to bother the Kanaka in the least,
however, and he plunged overheard for
a accommodating tour. He was gone
about two minutes, and then returned
to the surface to report that the anchor
was clinging to a conical-shaped bowl
der, and would have to be dragged
away from it. One of the sailors
warned the diver to be on his guard, as
several sharks had been seen in the
vicinity. The fellow only grinned.
"Shark no bite Kanaka," he said, and
then started for the bottom again, after
giving instructions to have h chain
slackened.
This time the diver was gone nearly
three minutes, says Capt. Christian
sen. BY the time he returned to the
surface the rapid drifting of the YES
sci told those on board that h anchor
had been released. The captain says
the anchor was by no means a light one,
and he is still wondering how the Kan
aka could handle it and yet survive
in that depth of water.-San Francisco
Examiner.

The Judge rises and gives this decis-
ion, never to be changed. never to be
revoked: There is, therefore, now no
condemnation to them who are in

Is coming n day of trial in which not
only the saint but the sinner must APP
pear. That day of trial will come very
suddenly. The farmer will be at the
pillow, the merchant will be in the
counting room, the WOO Imam will be
ringing his AK on the hickories, the
weaver will have his foot on the
treadle, the manufacturer will be
walking amid the buzz of looms and

Lol The sun hides. Night comes

granite cliffs in avalanche of rock.
Rivers pause in their chase for the sea,

Clouds fly like fiocks of swift eagles.

against you, and the Lord God AL
mighty is against you? Better this
day secure an Advocate.
