A SHOWER OF FROGS.
Cloudburst Brings n Deluge OF the
Dazed Creatures.

DaEeu SrcGturcss
A traveller from Fort Ogden, Fla,
declared that he passed through an
avalanche of frogs ten miles south of
here recently, says dispatch from
Arcadia, Fla. 1t had been raining ter
ribly for three days and the other day
there was almost cloudburst in this
county, the rain coming down for four
hours in almost solid sheets. This man
started out and on the way he passed
through a section where for two miles
the frogs literally covered the ground.
The road was covered and the ground
In the woods as far as could be seen
on either side. They were crushed be-
meath his horses feet as he rode along.
There were three kinds or sizes, most
of them being the green so-called stree
frogs" so abundant there. The small
ones were about an inch long, the others
being two and three inches. There
were millions of them and the noise
they made was deafening. He brought
several along as specimens.
It's the general opinion here that the
cloudburst brought them. This is the
first time that this thing has ever hap
pened in this section and the people
are greatly excited over it. The man
stated that the frogs seemed dazed and
hardly moved as he came along.

German settlement In In diana.

Four towns in two counties in In
diana make up German settlement
where German customs prevail exclu-
sively in the home habits of the people,
although all the inhabitants speak Eng
lish and the children learn English as
well as German. The towns are Ferdi-
nand and st. Henry, in Dubois county,
and st. Meinrad and Maria Hill, in
Spencer county. Ferdinand, the old
est of the towns, was founded by mis-
sionary priest, Father Kendrick. in 1910,
and was named in honor of Ferdinand L.
of Austria. There are no Americans in
it, and there are only two families of
Americans in st. Meinrad, which is the
seat of Benedictine monastery.

Long ago this favored child-he's an
Irishman by birth and his name is
Michael Grath-discovered the folly of
toiling for his living. Before the dis
covery he owned little tract of land
that was as sterile and barren rs strip
of tho Jersey coast. He titled and
plowed until he was wrinllled and bent
and all he got was barely enough to
keep body and soul together. But one
day he found that that barren little
strip of land was oo2ing with oil He
said nothing about it, but he redoubled
his efforts, and after awhile he had
enough money saved to put down u
well. He struck oil the day the ripyers
threatened to quit unless they received
their pay.
The we'll was not gushcr. 1t was
what is known in the oil regions as a
"small producer and yielded on an
average IL barrels n day.

some method to pipe his oil the rains

mans labor was to charge double the

1t matters little to him what the
price of oil may be. The cost of produc-

it down to so cents Il barrel he is sure
of an income of Sl2 per day, and that
is enough to meet all his needs. When

North Carolina Conference.

Princeton, n. c., Sept. IA, 1897.
To the Editor;
The annual session of the North
Carolina conference was held at the
Meadow meeting house Aug. 2Sth ana
10Th, in commodious bowery erected
on the ground four miles north OF
Princeton, Johnston Co, N C. The
weather was favorable and the people
turned out very literally at all of the
meetings and especially on Sunday,
there being from 500 to l,OOO people
present.
Saturday morning, Aug. 2Sth, con-
ference began with forty Elders and
about 800 people in attendance The
speakers We're Elders lisa Baker and
Walter NJ. Eveftou on the atonement
and faith respectively At the after
noon session Elders Lorenzo n. Stohl
and Riley C. Savage treated the sub
iects of repentance and baptism.
Sunday morning. Aug. 18th, YER
liable multitude thronged the grounds
and hundreds stood up during the eN-
ercises. The speakers We're Elders
Byron Carter, Holy Ghost; Ezra c.
Robinson, Church of Christ. In the
afternoon Elder Albert Matheson
representing, President Kimball, took
up the time In an able discourse.
Saints came twenty and thirty miles
to attend conference and all went
home feeling well repaid for their
trip. Our friends entertained us
royalty and treated us as kindly as
they We're able to.
In our council and testimony meet
ings on Monday we enjoyed a spirit
url feast never to be forgotten.
Elder Matheson, clothed upon with
the power of the Holy Ghost, spoke
at length upon our duties and then a
testimony meeting was held Mt which
all of the Elders spoke. Many faith
ftI horne and the rift
of prophecy was enjoyed. Some
Elders We're heard to say that it was
the best meeting they had attended
in their lives. The room was over
Swallowed with the Holy Ghost and II
seemed almost like Il Pentecost to us.
Most Of the Elders left for their
fields on Tuesday, Aug. Goth.
A blind child was presented to us
Sunday to whom we administered, and
it is rapidly recovering its sight.
Yesterday we closed n series of
twenty-five meetings, having baptized
! five and organized a Sunday school
and branch of the church. We took a
/ lady from her sick bed and baptized
her and she came from the waters
much stronger At o'clock in the
morning she was PROSTATE upon her
/ bed with n fever, We administered
| to her and the Lord raised her up SO
| that she was able to ride five or six
miles, and was baptized shortly after
/ ~ o'clock.
We have seen the sick healed
/ devils cast out and the eyes of the
| blind opened by the power of the
/ Priesthood, restored in these latter
| days and we do know that these
signs do follow them that believe and
| all honor be given to the God OF
Israel the everlasting Father.
