Of Clerk Hngard. Of St Clair County. to
issue a marriage license to j. c. Williams,
a cOlored Baptist clergyman, to marry
Miss Lavina Davis a com y young white
woman. has caused the institution of le-
gal proceedings which will probably re-
suit in testing the constitutionaiity of the
equal rights law passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature.
The colored clergymans attorneys insist
that under the law the county clerk is
compelled to issue the marriage license.
and they propose to have the document
if they have to take the matter TO the
Supreme Court.
Miss Davis was born in England, but
has spent the greater part of her life in
this country. She says that she will mar
ry Williams sooner or later. i'm spite Of

CURRENT TOPICS.

Lake Doniphan, in Kansas, is one Of
the most peculiar bodies of water in the
world In the winter, when he lake is
covered with ice. it is possible to build
a large bonfire upon 1t by simply making
a hole through the ice and applying a
match to it. Instantly the flames shoot
up five or six feet and burn with great
brilliancy for a minute or two.
The supply for the flames is natural
gas, which bubbles up through the water
the year around, but 1t is only when the
surface is covered with ice that the gas
is prevented from escaping and is coll
, lected in large bubbles or pockets. from
ten to twenty yards square. If a pune
ture is made through the ice to these
pockets the gas escapes. and il lighted
furnishes the. skater an excellent fire at
which he may warm himself. In some
sections of the lake ice rarely forms, ex-
cept in extremely cold nights. for the gas,
being warmer than the water, and rising
in such large quantities. prevents the
water from freezing.
The lake itself is peculiar. 1t Is river
lake; that is ii was formed from a bend
of the Missouri River by the stream TAX
ing a shorter cut across the neck of the
bend. thus leaving a lake shaped like a
horseshoe about five miles in length. The
lake was made in 1881. The gas does not
rise from all sections of the lake. but
mostly in. the western arm. On the other
Missouri side of the river are three small
lakes formed exactly as Doniphan has
been, but from these there is no gas eX-
haied except occasional small bubbles.
Natural gas has been found In Kansas.
A well some fifty-five miles south of Lake
Doniphan, few years ago, gave limited
supply OF gas, while at lola a gas well
has furnished several million cubic feet
Of gas. 1t is believed that Kansas will
yet prove to have gas areas of no incOn-
siderable extent and it is thought that
should field be discovered il will be
found in an area of which Atchson, St.
Joseph and Kansas City Will form the
boundaries.

The official estimates of the gold Oh

CHARACTERI FEATURES.
Noses That Indicate Exesntive Tai

PhrenOlOgists hold that character may
be read in the features. for il is the
main factor that mOlds them Some be-
lieve that the eyes should be taken as
the index of the nature; others Judge by
the chin. while many consider the nose to
be the feature which is most surely
stamped with the true personality Of its
owner. The mouth and the expression
Of the eyes enable the person to express
passing emotions. while. except in the
case Of sensitive nOstrils. the nose may
be called indexibIe- Large noses are, for
the most part. liked in men. Il will be
remembered that Napoleon favored for
his friends or officers a prominent nose.
and diStFusted those men whose NOSES
were small. The DaTtiaity for the Greek
form in the well-knOwu direct line from

maintained because Of the belief that
il is the type Of literary talent. Phreu-
ologists say that this shape of nose is
less often seen now. because the spirit
Of the age is not one that would in
duce that kind Of mental development
which is found with this shape Of feat
