A test case on taxing wheat in store
in elevators is about to be made.
Several counties, including this coun-
ty, have assessed wheat in store In
elevators for q couple of years past,
some Of which wheat the elevators
claim belongs to other people, and
who, in many cases, are not known to
che elevator company; hence they
claim 1t is an injustice to tax them
for the wheat.

A serious blunder occurred In Z West

Der Of the farmers had sustained losses
OF sheep from their respective docks,
and, being skeptical a. 20 the e4aciency
Of the law omcers, one night took the
matter In their own hands. A dozen
or more Of them proceeded some miles
away to the house Of Hehobeth Jem.
son, and, Notwithstanding his protesta-
lions OF innocence, gave him q severe
drubbing.
The afiair created no little stir, as
Rehobeth was very respectable col
ored man, who owned q snug little
farm and was deacon In the Baptist
church. He had the confidence and e.
TEEN Of his white neighbors, who were
20 worked up over the matter that they
considered the expediency Of an In.
vestigation that should lead to the pun.
ishment Of the raiding party.
Within q few days the farmers dis
covered they had made an awkward
mistake, the guilty party having been
caught red-handed and had made q
full confession; SO being In the main a
right good set Of fellows they decided
to offer balm to Rehobeth for his many
wounds. Three Of their number were
designated a committee with full pow.
ers to act and they hastenetl to the
discharge of their duty. Old Rehobeth
was sitting in his neat little cabin with
bandaged head, while his wife was ap-
plying cooling wash to his lacerated
back. The committee looked foolish
and scarcely knew how to begin; but
finally one of the number stammered
out an apology, and added that they
were willing to pay reasonable
amount as recompense for his suffer-
ings.

| "A Queer Sect Tho 'onrtshea In the
State OF Wa nRton.
The Indians of this country have just
closed a religious revival and have left
for Pacific county, where they will en-
deavor to rekindle religious spirit
among the tribes there, says the Aber-
deem correspondent of the Portland
unique, strikingly original and dis
Shaker religion. 1t is said that 1t first
originated in the sound country, among
the Mud Bay Indians. The story is
that one Of the tribe, John Slocum, was
taken sick and gradually wasted away
and died. Preparations were made for
the funeral, but John surprised his
friends by coming to life again the day
tie funeral was to be held. He stated
that he had gone to heaven, but that
he was told to 60 back to earth again
and help his people; that they were
very wicked, and that he must help
them. His recovery was very rapid,
and he at once started this new sect.
It forbids the use of kerosene oil az an
|illuminnnt; also the use Of tobacco and
Intoxicating liquors Of any kind. It:
has worked wonders among the Che
halls bounty Indians. who previously
were not noted for their morality or
sobriety. One who has witnessed some
Of their meetings says:
"When q candidate announces q de-
sire to join he IL placed in the center
Of the room on his tip-toes, with his
arms extended full length over his
head. The crowd circles around him,
singing, shouting, ringing bells and
hammering anything that will make q
noise. Frequently one Of the heavy
bells 10 broken, and this is hailed with
delight, ~ It 10 supposed that the bad
spirit has left the candidate and en-
tered into the bell, filling 1t to bursting.
When this happens the candidate Is
completely cleansed from all evil and
10 born again. The candidate for ad-
mission. after standing in the position
for short time, commences to shake
through fatigue. This is taken as
sign that the good spirit is entering;
and the noise and din are, II possible,
increased as the poor victims shaking
increases, until, from sheer exhaustion,
he falls trembling upon the ground.
His conversion is then complete and
he IL admitted into full membership"

New Signal. for Crui.ers

new S18nN40 xOE CIU10CF0.
The experiments which have been
carried on at Portsmouth. England, in
the interchange of communication be-
tween ships at varying d.. ices, give
promise of a complete r.. tuition in
naval signaling. For example, sup
posing there are four cruisers ten miles
apart, and the flagship another ten
miles of, there will be chain fifty
miles long. BY use Of a cipher code
the furthest cruiser can. If she discov-
ers the whereabouts and course Of the
enemy, pass signal down the line
with almost the instantancousness Of
the telegraph. and the admiral can take
action promptly. So by having four
cruisers on each side of him the COM
mander of the feet can cover and Sc
cure instant communication over ra.
dius Of 100 miles. and 60 ON indefinitely.

be no mistake in the reading Of signals,
while the amount of time saved is q

Business Situation rraceable to Apprehen-
sIons ARISING Therefrom.
New York, Aug. pa. Edward Sim
mons, president of the Fourth Nation
al bank, is quoted as saying that out
of the political situation there has arisen
a good deal of apprehension on the part
of the general public and has brought
business to a condition Of almost utter
stagnation.
Mills" Simmons added, "are being
closed all over the country or else put
on half time. There has been little or
no demand for goods, and very re-
stricted sale of commercial paper, and
as a result the strain upon the mer-
chants is becoming intense and the re-
sIlting pressure upon the banks for
discount is most severe. This coming
at a time when the demand for money
for crop-moving purposes is active, as
usual at this season of the year, it is
only right that the banks of New oYrk
should extend such accommodation TO
their out-of-town customers, as well as
other merchants, as will enable the
crops to move freely. 1t will only be
with the view of avoiding serious dis
aster that clearing house loan certih-
Gates will be issued should the emer-
gency be considered sufficient, in the
opinion of the committee, to warrant
such action"

Free Coinage of silver Gripping the Home
Missions fund.

New York, Aug. 22.-The American
Baptist Home Mission society of the
United States, which expends annually
nearly half a million dollars, is calling
all mortgages on church property
throughout the country on account of
the free silver movement.
This society is one of the Oldest and
most prosperous church orga nizations
in this country, having been organized
in 1882. The present officers are the
Rev. DR.. Thomas J. Morgan, CORE
spond secretary; j. Greenwood Smelling,
treasurer; the Rev. DR.. H. L. More
house, field secretary; the Rev. DR.. NJ.
MacVicar, superintendent of education;
the Rev. Alexander Turnbuil, assistant
corresponding secretary, and Lwyer D..
w. Perkins, who is in charge of the
church edifice fund.
Last year the society expended $685.
1SS, while its receipts amounted to $685.
949. The society has a permanent trust
fund Of 1867, 600, and its loans on
church mortgages amount to nearly
s15O, 600
Mr.. Perkins, who attends to the finan-
ces, and who in his capacity as head of
the church edifice fund, knows all about
the mortgages outstanding on church
property, said today the society had
called in all these mortgages in view Of
the current free silver movement
THE work of our society" he said
extends throughout the United States
and territories. The letters received
from nearly every place show that the
silver agitation is so materially affect
ing the finances of the localities that it
makes it next 10 impossible TO raise
money.
I'VE are affected largely in another
way. We have a large church edifice
loan fund, which we have loaned to
churches in many of the states and ter
ritories. We are now endeavoring to
obtain payment of these loans.
But the report from the churches is
to the effect that it is utterly inpossi-
bic for them, in the present condition
or finances, to pay these mortgages. and
many OF them readily ADMIT that II
there should be a favorable vote for
free silver they probably will be COM
PEELED TO yield their church property.

crippled In its work, and our fear is II

The churches under such circur,-

EXTREMELY HOT

preston and Nervousness.


So far this season has been very hot
and sultry. The result is a great many
cases of nrostration, especially among
those who are not well. Women who
are suffering from any disease pecu-
liar to the sex find hot weather eSpe-
cially hard to bear. Too tired to per-
form their daily duties, too nervous TO
sleep, they wander about discouraged
and hopeless. There ia nothing in this
wide world that so quickly dispels all
this sort of thing as Pe-ru-na. Relief
is immediate, and the persistent use
of the medicine leads to permanent
cure. Mrs. c. c. Filler, 1857 South
Fourth street, Columbus, Ohio, says:
my nerves were terribly debilitated

nervous prostration; stomach bloat-

New York. Aug. PA meeting OF the

ciated banks viii be held on Monday to
consider applications for loan certifi-
Gates The committee is opposed to the
Issuing of certificates, believing such
action uncalled for by existing financial
and commercial conditions. This view
is not generally entertained in finan-
eial circles. AT the time OF the depres-
sion of 1893, when the stringency in
money compelled measures for the i'm
portation OF gold, there were outstand-
ing s3,0oo,000 of clearing house certifi-
rates. The issue at this time would. il
Is believed, greatly facilitate imports of
