A QUEER BELIEF.
The Place of Torment to Which Wicked
Buddhists Arc Consigned,


Buddhists Arc Consigned,
The place of torment to which all
wicked Buddhists are to be assigned on
the day of final reckoning is a terrible
place of punishment. The Buddhist;c
hell is sort of apartment house, di-
vided into eight easy stages" In the
first the poor victim is compelled to
walk for untold ages in his bare feet
over hills thickly set with red-hot
needles, points upward. In the second
stage the skin is carefully filed or
rasped from the body and irritating
mixtures are applied In the third
stage the nails, hair and eyes are
plucked out and the denuded body
sawed and planed into all sorts of far
tastic shapes.
The fourth stage is that of SORROW
full lamentations" In the fifth the left
side of the body and the denuded head
are carefully roaster, Yoma, the Bud
dhist Satan, experimenting the work..
In the sixth stage the arms are torn
from the body and thrown into an i'm
mense vat among the eyes, nails and
hair previously removed. Then in
plain hearing of the sore-footed, blind,
manned, roasted and bleeding victim
the whole horrid mass is pounded into
jelly. In the seventh stage the other
side of the victim and his feet are roast
ed brown and then comes the eighth
and last stage, in which the candidate
is thrown into the bottomless pit of

western woman, who is desirous
that country neighborhoods should
more often unite their interests and
civilize their communities by good
schools, good roads, humanity to uni-
mails, a knowledge of the best ways to
carry on their homes and estates, says,
of visit to a club with these objects:
Almost every woman in it was farm
er's wife. There was not even church
at the Corners as it was called, but at
least so women were gathered in pri-
vate house, and several men came with
their wives. I was astonished at their
interest and eagerness for what they
expected to receive through their club,
and the pleasure with which they
looked forward TO the meeting of it,"

After having denounced the bicycle
for six months as the advance agent of
Satan, Washington's only woman re-
former, who is now travelling about New
York, announces she is about to collect
facts about the wheel and wheeling.
Most sane people would have collected
the facts at first. The follies that are
done in the name of reform are legion.

The specialization of industry which
charqcterizes the east more and more
each year does not as yet mark the west,
where diversity of accomplishment com
mends the individual to fortune. A far
rier of Oklahoma City announces that
he shoes mules and repairs parasols and
gasoline stoves, and on noted south

men who can sing and play will be en-
ployed as walters. After meals they are

court has been in session, and most Of
the time the jury has been CONSIDERING
the evidence in the case of Erjck Bratt
against the Packers and Butchers
mon. The jury was out six hours and
Drought IN verdict of $50 damages.
ihIS was test case and was foupht
with great tenacltv and bitterness
1here were about dozen defendants
who employed as many lawyers to de-
lend them. Judge Roberts was the at
torney for the plaintiff and made MIN
sell quite famous by his earnest efforts
in behalf of his client. The principIe
lhNoiNeu was whether the Butchers
Chlon could IN combination with the
packers charge what prices they pleased
Tor meat and freeze out a retailer ,yho
refused to Loin them. There have been
other suits before against the same par
ties, but they had either been defeated
or settled, this being the only case of
the KIND fought to a finish. This de-
clslon viii perhaps effect some of the
other organized protective associ-
which are banded together in
their own interests, and which regu-
late prices to suit themselves. and no
matter how willing you may be to sell
cheaper YOU are compelled in order TO
secure goods to conform to the rules of

CaSS Avenue.

The corporation well-borpr would
seem to be experiencing hard luck in
his efforts to secure good water on the
corner of Itasca street and Cass avenue.
He has made two efforts within the last
two weeks and failed in each case. If
tbs VSes 81 5e had 7tfnsf tt2pt t
in boring for water on Cass avenue they
would have gone farther from the lake.
instead of closer to it and been spared
the Illumination of two failures. a third
effort is now being made, casing being
used in order TO prevent failure from
the influence Of quick sand. 1t is to be
hoped it will succeed or the corporation
had better 60 out Of the well-boring
business.
When will tie supervisors Of this dis
trict awake 70 the necessity Of placing a
light at each end of the Nemadji bridge?
The trrfIic over the bridge at night is
rapidly increasing and lights are becom-
inc more and more a necessity. We
know of two lights could be transferred
to the bridge and the public would suf-
for no Inconvenience and the city be
put to little extra expense.
\ contract was let for laying a side
walk OH the south side of Cass avenue,
between Second and Fourth streets,
about month ago, but nothing has
been done yet. Could 1t be that there
is influence being brought to bear TO
keep the residents Of the south side out
of their rights. There is a Niger in the
/ fence somewhere.
Fred Uertline has about finished his
/ shoeshop and Will soon settle down to
/ his old trade Of shoemaking, having al
ready hung out his sign and secured a
supply of leather. He will also carry a
stock of stationery, soft drinks, fruit
newspapers, etc, and act as agent fol

Mr.. Bowman Goes,

For some reasons we are glad and for
many reasons we are sorry to announce
that Mr.. Bowman has decided to with
draw from the Nelson Dewey school
and accept the position of teacher of
mathematics and elocution in the Nor
mai. Among our reasons for being clad
we might mention that the work will be
some easier, and besides it is a promo
ton which recognizes his ability and
worth. In the second place we regret
his decision because it will he hard to
find man who will fill ms place. Mr..
Bowman has an enviable record. His
schools are the best organized of any in
the city, his teachers have one and all
respected, esteemed and honored him.
and by working in perfect harmony
with him have succeeded in their work.
The children from the least to the
greatest adored him and he had the
confidence of each and every pupil in
the building. Who will fill his place?
We all extend congratulations to Mr..
Bowman, but cannot help feeling that
what is his gain is our loss.
