A Trick Yarn THAT Requires Pretty Big
Pinch of salt
A correspondent writing from India
regarding the theory that the jugglers
perform their tricks by twill power"
says;
During the course Of the indian
mutiny ! made the acquaintance of one
Of these gentlemen OF India, who tried
20 instruct me how to perform these
tricks lie said IL was all imaginary
on tho part Of the spectators, as he
simply willed that they should see
those things. Yet I, in common with
western nations. was too animalized,
sensual and materialized by flesh eat
ing and consumption Of alcohol to re-
tain or accept any deep spiritual teach
ing.
"The most exciting performance that
he gave for my amusement was the
converting Of bamboo stick into a
native servant, who waited at the table
and supplied our wants.
"Afterwnrd-in his ABSENCE tried

was before me asking for instructions.
directed him TO ill the chatties in
the veranda with water from the well
in the compound. This he proceeded
20 do. When he had filed them all TO
overlooking I requested him TO stop.
He, however, tool no notice Of me and
went on stolidly bringing in the water
until, In my excited imagination, 1t
seemed that the bungalow would be
washed away.
"Finding that could not arrest or
stop his movements, he passing through
me as though did not exist, drew my
sword and lay in wait for him. Maxi
ing a slash, | apparently cut bim in

bringing in the water. neither OF whom
could / restrain or prevent from do
ing so.
Twas completely out of my depth,
when heard quiet laugh behind me,
and on turning found IL was my in
structor, who held mp his right hand
and the two men disappeared, the stick
rcsuming its place in the veranda and
10 crown all there was not the slight
est sign of any water having been
brought in. excitedly appealed 10
him for an explanation. lie said that

my attention to huge cavern, which

tered number of huge elephants and
camels issued from II in n continuous

stock lode and a score Of other lodes
in the silver state, but for surprise and
horror the fight between Bodlen and
Chimay In the Bodie saloon lay over
anything else by long odds. IL vas
about midnight that the men fell 20
shooting--whnt Il was about l forget
now-but the saloon was running full
blast and there was scattering TO get
out of the way of the shooting. But
the shooting was all on one side, for
the cylinder OF Chimay's pistol wouldn't
revolve, and Bodlen sent shots into him
until Chimay fell with holes enough In
him TO have let out three lives. lie las
carried into back room and laid /
on the floor 20 wait for the coroner,
and then everybody went back into
the front part OF the saloon, and the
gamcs and the drinking went on as
lively as before.
Bodlen, as the winner, was naturally
popular and n good deal looked mp TO
that night, and had good many invi-
tations TO drink, and he set 'em up
himself off and ON. lie was standing
at the bar with a group around him,
the hero of the night OF n sudden the
door of the back room, where Chimay
had been laid away, opened, and the
first man that looked gave yell like
an Indian and nearly fell backward,
and the rest of us felt like doing the
same thing when we saw that IL was
Chimay standing there, pistol in hand,
looking round. lie saw the man he
wanted, and by this time everybody
between him and Bodlen had got out
Of the way. lie raised his pistol and
Bodlcn pulled his, and the shots rang
out again, but this time Chimay's pis.
tol cylinder revolved. and at mis- second
shot Bodlen dropped his pistol, stag
gercd and went down on his face, shot
through the heart Chimay watched
him fall, and then his pistol dropped
from his hand and he fell backward
into the room a corpse for good this
time.
For clear nerve and resolution, what
Chimay had done beat anything ever
knew Of Left to himself he had re-
vived, picked up his pistol, taken it
apart, fixed the cylinder so that IL
would work and then came out and
shot his man. That was n specimen

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, April 26.-Special
dispatches tend TO show that the ter
ritory including portions of Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa experienced the
heaviest transforms In their history
between midnight and morning Sun
day. In northern Kansas more rain
fell within six hours than often falls
in six months Many small buildings
were washed away and there was
actual fear that entire towns would
be swept of into the swelling
streams. The rise of the water in
parts of Nebraska was so rapid that
people sleeping in the first stories of
their homes narrowly escaped drown
ing in their beds. They were COM
PEELED 70 take refuge in the upper
stories and on the roofs, and in many
instances, rescuers, with boats, took
half-dressed people from trees, into
which they had climbed in their forced
retreat
A telegram from Topeka. Kan, says:
The Kaw river at this point is higher
than II has been for the past eight
years, and Il Is still rising at the rate
OF two inches an hour. Reports from
central Kansas indicate that the rise
will continue for "a hours or perhaps
longer. Driftwood is coming down
the river in great quantities. Much of
II has lodged against the street rail-
way bridge on Kansas avenue, and
fears are entertained for the safety of
the structure.
At Ottumwa, Ia, the river broke over
the levees and flooded the bottoms,
carrying several houses down stream.
In some places the water Is above tho
first story Of the houses. One Burling-
ton main track is impossible and hun
dreds of men are at work attempting
To prevent damage TO the other line.
As n result Of the heavy storm and
consequent rise of the Blue river at
Beatrice, Neb., 200 houses were flooded
and 1, 100 people were driven from their
homes. All Of them were provided
with food, clothing and lodging.

the favor Of all who are interested In
seeing that the railroads are given no

that all interests are equally protected.

said among other things:

saying:
In my opinion the onicial agitation now going

ference Is not merely useless, but harmful In

hut Are Baked Ia Their Purpose.
PERRY, Ok, April aO.-John and Sam
uel Hunt, two brothers in Washita
county, attempted 10 drown Charlie
Goodall, who was wo rking for them. by
binding him securely 20 a horse, then
tying a rock to the hore's neck and push
ing them both over the bluff into a deep
hole Of water in the Washita river. They
had bound the man 10 the horse and
We're fixing the rock when he slipped
the bride of the horse and made a
dash for liberty. The men fired sew
cral shots at the fleeing man and gave
chase on horseback, but he succeeded
in getting TO farm house near by and
gave the alarm. The community in
which the parties live Is very much
wrought up over the matter and II the
parties are caught they will probably
be lvuched
