SUNDAY is JUDGMENT DAY.
Prediction OF Il Kansas R~cclusc--As-
ccnston Robes Being Prepared,

ccnsfon Robes Being Prepared.
Wichita. Kan, Dec. 2S.--Mrs. Harriet
Quinby, an aged lady who lives the life
of a recluse and processes to see Wonder
full visions of the future life startled the
city Thursday by the prophesy that the
world would be destroyed Sunday night.
She says she has been chosen by the
Lord to bear the message to the dying
world. The knowlede of her great mis-
sion has been with her since childhood,
and throughout her whole life she has
been reading mystic signs in the moor
which We're visible to her alone. They
have unlocked the mysteries of the bible
touching the end of the world.
The lunar signs have appeared in HI
form of crosses, whose varying angles
afforded the key to portions of scripture
which she quotes with marvellous X
ctness. She has prepared ascension
robes for herself and her grandchildren
and arranged all her affairs so as to be
ready for h great change. She says
that the great cities will be blown to
atoms and the world shall pass away
with a great fire. The good will be taken
to a new earth in their natural bodies
and the righteous dead will also come
forth from their graves in their natural
bodies. The new Jerusalem will be &
place where business will be carried on
as it is on the earth, except there will be
no dishonesty.
Mrs. Quinby, through a long series of
scripture quotations. shows why she
was chosen to sound the warning note.
Her mother hated her from birth and
mad attempts to kill her. Her husband
likeN,.se mated her and sought her life,
and the several churches with which she
has been identified threw her out be-
cause of her strange belief regarding
her destiny. These and many other cir
cumstances, coupled with certain pas
sages of scripture, lead her to believe
that she is to be the herald of the new
kingdom and the mother of the mighty
nation when the redeemed gain the new
Jerusalem. Many people nave faith in
her predictions and are preparing their
ascension robes.

sffered a resolution which went over un
Ill tomorrow, calling on the secretary of
the navy for information as to whether
prices paid, or agreed to be paid, for
lrmor for vessels of the navy are as low
rs the prices charged by the same man
n~factureres to foreign governments;
whether these prices have been in
creased on account of patents, and if so,
whether the increase in price has been
fair and reasonable; also whether any
government officials are interested in
such patents.
The house bill as to bonds was laid
before the senate, read twice and refer
red to the finance committee.
The resolution heretofore offered by
Mr.. Quay. rep, Pennsylvania, calling on

No OmciaI knowledge.

New York, Dec. So.-The usual ru-
mors about a bond issue were current
again today but it is impossible to OBJ
tain anything of an official character.
The street now thinks that the president
may ask for subscriptions for 500, OOO,-
600 4 per cents after 3 O'Clock tomorrow.
1t also believes that a contract has been
made with New York bankers for the
purpose of procuring the gold for which
the bonds are to be sold. Very little con-
fidence is placed in the popular theory
and none at all in the report current last
week that a syndicate would take all the
bonds left after the closing of the popu-
lar subscription books. In the meantime
the picking up of gold continues and bull
lion brokers are obtaining a small pre-
MUM for metal wrich Is being taken by
bankers and others who are getting
ready for the new government loan.

The Ceded sioux Lands.

Chamberlain, s. D., Dec. 30.-Parties
acting in behalf OF the settlers on that
portion of the coded Sioux land lying
within Gregory county are making an
earnest effort to have the plats of the
land filed in the United States land
office, in his city, at the earliest posi-
Bile moment so the settlers can make
entry of their homesteads without fur
ther delay. The settlers. or squatters.
have been on the land nearly six years,
the fact that the land was not sur
veyed until quite recently prevented
them making entry. The work OF sur
veying the land was completed only q
few months ago. and If the plats were
completed In their regular order in the
office of the United States surveyor gen.
eral at Huron, 1t would be nearly a year
before the necessary red tape could be
gone through with and the settlers
make their filings. However, efforts
are being made to have the work made
special, and the commissioner Of the
general land office will undoubtedly so
Instruct the surveyor general at an
early date. In this event the settlers
will be enabled to make their entries be-
fore the close OF the present fiscal year,
and the government would, in a meas
ure. atone for the injustice done them.
Many of the settlers have improves
ments on their land to the amount of
several thousand dollars.

payable in United States gold coin of
the present weight and %tineness. or in
standard silver dollars. at the option of
the holders Of such bonds; but no bond
containing such option shall bear a rate
of interest exceeding 8 per cent per an
nun, payable quarterly. ;,
M. Hill addressed the nat in sups
port of the joint resolution. In his
speech, Mr.. Hill said: The option is
here presented to save the people mill
ions of dollars in the shape of interest.
n why not avail ourselves of it? If
those who have money to loan are will
ing to charge us a lesser rate of inter-
est, If the bonds to be issued are made
payable in gold. it is difficult to see
what reasonable objection can he urged
to making them so payable at the option
of the holder. why" he asked, Should
any prejudice against gold be permitted
to interfere with such a transaction?
Why should any question about inde-
pendent or International free coinage be
allowed to prevent the contamination of
a favorable bargain to the government
and the people%H
