RATHER CHASTITY RELIC.
FRAGMENT OF A SHELL THAT DID
MUCH FATAL WORK.
Dangerous Days on a Merchantmen
Off Formosa-Transporting Refu-
gees-Gems of the japanese.

Second Officer o. G. Anderson of the
Kinshieu Maru has in his possession II
piece of shell which passed through It
Chinaman in a fight off Formosa two
years ago, and has upon it a piece of
blue cloth, torn from the clothing of
the unfortunate.
Mr.. Anderson was an officer on the
Cash." one of two steamers belong
ing to the governor of Formosa. When
the japanese landed on the island, the
mandarins and Chinese soldiers en-
barked on ell the available shipping 10
go to Annoy. A number of mandarins
and about 1000 soldiers were taken
on board the Cash.
But when the steamer attempted to
pull up anchor she received shell
from neighboring Japanese station.
The shell struck on deck, exploded
and killed seven soldiers besides
wounding some twenty more. A sec
ond attempt to leave drew another
shot which struck the lower deck and
killed a mandarin. Fortunately this
shell, which struck within few feet
of Anderson's door, did not explode.
The steamer was held at Tam Sua by
the Japs until peace was declared.
Upon her deck was found the piece of
shell referred to above.
Mr.. Anderson is Swede. Though
he has been in the Orient several
years he has lived in America and is
well known on the Pacific Coast. He
is a special friend of George Otterson,

SPANISH MINES IN TEXAS.
There IL Talk of Reopening some of the
Old Ones.

The earliest settlers of Bell county,
Tex, found along the mountains north
east Of Bolton and near Nolan's creek
what appeared to be old mines that Rad
probably been worked by the Spaniards,
Indians or Actecs. Since then every
once in awhile there has been talk Of
trying to open the mines and see what
was in them, says the Galveston News.
They presented the appearance of deep
holes in the ground some of which had
been partially and others almost en-
tirely filed with dirt. In some instances
bushes had grown in these places. In
one or two cases large cedar logs had
been placed over these mine-holes and
dirt thrown on them. Some people
have always contended that il wOuld
pay TO reopen and work these Old mines,
but until now no one who desired to put
time or money in them.
The recent discovery of gold four or
five miles from Belton has given a new
interest in these old mines. in one of
these mines some men have begun work
in earnest, and are keeping AT il from
day TO day. They are not very cGm-
municative about their prospects for
success. tct this much they tell, hat
in short time they are going TO ship
some of what they think is their hest
paying ore 10 the smelter at eagle Pass.
After it has been smelted they will krow
more. Meanwhile there is good deal
of interest about il around town.

change, TO be certified on from the

its refusal TO pay fine imposed upon
it. In the appellate court it claimed
that that section of the rules of the
exchange giving it authority to assess
a fine was unconstitutional 1t was also
charged that the exchange was an
illegal body. The court, in deciding
the case, said that If the exchange was
an illegal organization, as charged.
then a member of it had no right to
come into court and ask for relief The
court is satisfied with the decision of
the appellate court and has refused to
hear the case, and, so far as the courts
of Kansas are concerned, the exchange

After time several members of the
choir arrived and the cat scamDered

wooden pillars which supported the
choir loft and walked down into the
aisle.
Several of the congregation endeav-

but the proud pussy ignored them and
with stately dignity climbed up .uto
the pulpit and sat on the Bible. Wheh

found the cat in possession of the pull

preacher and began to purr and arch

lad plenty of bedrooms. Therefore 1T
was decided not TO use certain large,
long room with cupboaris along one

scaled up with tape) in which things be-
longing to the owners of the house had
been put away. One evening one of the
daughters going to her room saw an
old lady wrapped in shawl walking
along the passage in front of her. The
old lady appeared TO know her way and
hurried ON without hesitation into the
unused room. The girl called her sister
and they followed the dame into the
room. But all was silent; no one was
there; the dust lying about showed no
signs OF footprints.
Shortly after the same young lady
was reading on the hearthrug by ire
light. Looking up she beheld the old
lady standing in the doorway watching
her. Greatly frightened, she sprang up
and. rushing downstairs, was found
fainting at the drawing-room door AZ

day when a friend was calling the curi'
Gus incident which have narrated was

willingly told her experiences. The Wis

let their house they went to reside at

actly to the description you have given,
