Not Get Them-Farmers In Pursuit.
number of farmers near Haysville
were in the city yesterday with blood in
their eye and with determination OF
administering punishment upon GER
tain parties. if caught, which while not
prescribed by the statutes, they believe
would be perfectly satisfactory and
would result in much good.
The farmers were lead by ]. y. Dean
and the two Davis brothers and they
were after three water melon thieves
not hat any one OF the farmers II.
7urs,rst did not have the II =. s. a
.pect for a ordinary water mellon
lief. but these three men who gave
rheir names as Brown, Stevens and
Long had rather overreached what
the farmers deemed was true etiquet
smong watermelon thieves, and they
swore4 tf,at If they captured them they
would administer a severe horse whip
ping to the men.
Thursday the three men came to the
fruit packing house Of Dean, on Market
street and said they We're desirous OF
purchasing twenty baskets of plumbs
and the price asked was readily agreed
upon and Dean accompanied them to
frfs farm where hands were set to work
TO gather the plunlbs. By night the
rIumbs were gathered and Mr.. Dean
concluded that it would be better to
set the baskets in the cellar until morn
ing.
The men also wanted to purchase
load cf watermellons and Mr.. Dean in
troduced them to the Davis brothers
and the price was agreed upon for the
MELONS which were to be loaded in
the morning.
The night was warm and after supper
the three men said they preferred to
sleep in their wagons and this arrange
nent was adopted. When breakfast
was ready the next morning Dean rang
his bell to call the fruit buyers to break
fast. but they failed TO put IN their ap-
paarsnce at the breakfast table. An
investigation showed that they had
left during the night, but the plumbs
were still in the cellar.
While Ike was asking grace over his
meal there came loud ray at the door
and in walked the Davis brothers and
wanted to know where in thunder Ike's
friends were. 1t was soon learned
that during the night the strangers had
visited the watermelon patch and load

It was evident they had not come to

Up to a late hour last night the

but a mighty interesting stream for ali
that 1t issues from the sides of a
mountain in thousand tiny rills, more
or less, and of almost as many colors.
These gather themselves into pools and
lakelets on the mountain side. covering
an area of about 200 acres. Overlooking
their boundaries, they slowly trickle
down the sides Of the mountain, forming
small cliffs, the most wonderful in the
world. From distance one can hardly
believe what the eyesight reveals--white,
black. orange, lemon, terra Gotta, green,
blue, red, pink, separate and in manifold
combinations, stand out before him. Ii
is hill of painted cliffs on the sides Of
the mountain that rises high above. And
the odd part of it is that each of these
exquisite colors represents a different
temperature. Does that startle your Gre
dulity? Even so; it is true.
When through with this beautiful
painting process these waters again come
together, and then, as if full of mischief
like pack of small boys trying to play
hide and seek, dive down and remain un-
der the ground for space Of two miles,
and then flow out from the mouth of a
convenitaas one of the clearest, most
beautiful green streams imaginable.
Where these waters emerge from the
mountains into the little lakes they are
hot, boiling hot. During their dark,
underground journey they fall several
hundred feet and also many degrees in
holiness, so that when they. again see
daylight they are much cooler. This,
then, is Boiling river, an underground
mountain stream of hot water.

WOULDN'T CARRY A CHINAMAN
A Brooklyn Police Officer Despised
the Job He Was Given.

A Brooklyn officer was ahead of the
Washington policeman who refused to
help carry Ii Hung Chang in distin-
gushing himself in this way. It was on
the day that he visited BROOKLYN. The
policeman is Michael O'Brien of the
Eastern Parkway station.
The incident occurred at noon of Sep
TENDER 2 in front of the Union League
club house in Bedford avenue, Brooklyn.
Lii drove up there in a carriage with
Mayor Frederick w. Wurster and Will
liam Berri, who is president of the Union
League Club. When they stopped it was
expected that four policemen would
come trotting to carry the visitor into
the club house in a sedan chair. The
four policemen did not appear. Sergeant
Gregory picked out the four biggest men
he could find. One of these was O'Brien.
who is as big as Mayor Gleason of Long
Island City. Gregory told the men what
to do. O'Brien stood up very straight
and inflated his chest to bursting. His
big brown mustache bristled, and his
gray eye sf1ashed.

asked.

Strange Appearances in the Little

Strange Appearances in the Little
Town of Canton.s
A recent dispatch from Canton, in the
southern part OF this state, says that the
village is all excitement again over the
visits and miraculous occurrences growing
out Of the pilgrimages to its shrine. The
attention of theo,ogians and scientists was
attracted by the appearance of an appari-
tion connected with the Catholic church
there about August, 1892. Several cures
all parts of the United States and Canada
visited the place. The clergy of the do
cese of Winona, as we'll as the bishop, dis
approved of the methods of Rev. d. A.
Jones. the pastor, and he was for time
removed and not allowed to say mass in the
church Pilgrims, in scattering groups,
have continued to visit the place since the
closing of the church, Notwithstanding the
warning and admonitions Of the bishop to
the contrary. The spot where the appari-
ton appeared has undergone change,
which some are willing to proclaim to be
wonderful and miraculous.
On very recent date Thomas Nichols, of
Duluth, was positively cured Of a very Sc
we're case of chronic rheumatism of long
standing. Sidney Boyd, justice of the peace
at VanBuren Beach, DR.. r. A. Sturgeon,
postmaster, James Manuel and others, all
prominent business men of that place, and
P1otestants in religion, will verify the
above statements. Cases Of conversion and
temporary relief are exceedingly numerous
and even actual cures could be cited. But
this particular one is held out to the world
as perfectly miraculous cure, as the man
himself will testify. He was so elated that
he placed in the hands of Mrs. w. Douglas
$50 to he given to the church. All this
took place by simply visiting the spot on
which the lonely little church stands, the
Catholic priest of the parish being many
miles distant at the time. The writer is
opposed to fakes, superstitious practices
idolatry and Misrepresentation, but feels
that if th6re is a shrine in lonely Canton
worthy Of recognition by the public press
and the Catholic hierarchy of America, this
village is just as much entitled to it as are
Lourdes, St. Annes Tabernacle, Margrette
Mound, Knock, Ireland, Guadalupe, Mex
leo, etc. Living human beings and the best
documentary evidence can be presented to
sustain the statement that supernatural
power has at times visited this spot and
miracles wonderful in the eyes of many
taken place.
The apparition was first seen in a window
in the church. A new glass was put in, and
it reappeared with the same effect SUPER
natural figure appearing each time. When
the priest was sent away, the church closed
and the window covered with boards and
painted, Rt. Rev. ]. B. Cotter thought to
smother further developments and revela-
tons, but without effect. The painted
boards, hiding from view the pictures in the
glass, are actually undergoing transforna-
ton and assuming an appearance not at ALL
natural, but rather supernatural, as any
good and truthful citizen Of Canton will
testify.

Anthony Kelly, the well~known whole

after two months trip in Ireland. The
primary object in visiting his native
land was to attend the great national
convention of Irishmen in Dublin,

speaks in the highest terms of the work
of that body. .asa
In Dublin he found the people pros
porous and to a certain extent content
ed. In the west of lreland-in. the
County Mayo-his birthplace, he was
surprised to observe the thrift displayed
and the prosperous condition of all

contentment would result if the people
would turn their attention less to. poll

the whole, Mr. Kelly was delighted with

When he awoke, cold and stiff, nights last
deep slumbers were troubled with dreams
Of day. The few tired stars winked pale
and forlorn, and the skies were pallid and
chill. The fog lay folded close and white
about the tawny breast Of the great brown
flood slipping swift and noiseless through
the low wide land.
1t was Christmas day
And as the vast sweet smile of light
deepened through the world, and the morn
ing wind whirled the fog away in long
shreds up through the blue, Mace thought
it cloud Of those white angels who had
watched the world tenderly on Christ's
birthnight, and now flew upward in light
to sing endless praise and glory to God for
the peace and goodwill upon earth. He
had seen ''sperits" at last but they gave
him JOY and courage, so that when the up
ward-bound steamer found him and carried
him home, he burst into the kitchen, where
Aunt Patsey was dropping tears among the
batter cakes, as she fried them, and cried:
''Chrismus gif', mawi Merry Chrismusl"
His vague strivings alone on the river
would seem not to have been in vain. for
after embraces and explanations were done,
he got down upon his knees and hauled out
from under the stove the old battered tin
pan.
