Stockton, June 30.-While blowing corn
with a riding cultivator the Ives
place miles north OF town, P. J. Wick
wor got his foot caught in the wheel
as the horses started to run away, and
he was dragged and rolled on the
ground for about so yards before extri-
eating himself.
Although badly bruised he got up and
ran after the team for half a mile,
when he fell, completely exhausted and
unconscious. He lay for an hour in the
hot sun; then he rallied and walked to
the house. His injuries from the run
away are not serious, but in the drag
ging and running he became overhead
ed, and his long exposure to the intense
rays of the sun put him in a very bad
condition, and he is not expected to
live.

EZEKIEL PROPHETIC.
New York Minister Finds That tho
Bible Sustains Bicycles.

New York, June 30-The Rev. DR.. D.
H. King, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. Vineland, N. J., is one of those d.
vines who find a direct and modern appli-
cation in every line of the bible, includ-
ing the metaphors of the prophets. He
Sunday preached sermon on bicycles,
illustrating his moral-tipped precepts from
the phraseology of the wheel and its cult.
His text DR.. King took from Ezekiel X, 13:
LAS for the wheels 1t was cried unto
them in my hearing, o, wheel!''
Even the most erudite of the many
wheelmen and wheelwomen in the congre-
cation were astonished to learn that the
Venerab Bile Ezekiel many centuries ago had
fOreSeen the coming vogue of the bicycle,
and had been moved to interpret mild
warning against it's unhallowed use. Some
of the old time Presbyterians were more
than astonished at their pastors applica-
ton of the prophets words.
DR.. King used vigorous language in de-
ing parties and racing. He did more than
that. Adopting the style of the old Sun
day school fctionists, who inevitably
drowned little boys who went fishing or
boating on the Sabbath he pointed to three
recent accidents in which Vineland Sab
bath breaking wheelmen were killed or in
jured as horrible examples of the retribu-
people who go bicycling on the Lords day.
1T is a warning to consecrate your
wheels to God, and not to use them in
violating his holy commandments" said
the pastor empha tically. "A warning
against using your bicycle for pleasure on
the day that you are adjured to remem-
Der that we may keep 1t holy"

MANILA CATHEDRAL.
Twelve Years to Complete It at Cost
of One Million Dollars.

New York, June 3O.-Church condi-
tions among the, people Of the Philip
pine Islands are not ideal. Spain, which
demoralizes everything she touches, has
used the Roman Catholic church there
for political ends, and many priests are
VIGOROUSLY far from what they ought
to be as spiritual advisers and also as
men. By the law of the islands every
body is Roman Catholic. No other
church services of any kind are allow
ed. There are church buildings in eve
ry town, and the churches are the fin
est buildings as a rule, in the town. The
Roman Catholic Cathedral is the finest
edif1ce in the city of Manila 1t is I'M
der the care of the Jesuits, as are many
of the churches on the islands. 1t was
IL years in building, and cost 81, 000, 600.
The finest and hardest woods in the
Philippines were used for the finishing,
and the structure is of blush tint
marble. There are exquisite carvings,
some of which have recently been
made.
The education of the young on the
islands is in the care of the Roman
Catholic church authorities. There are
no endowed schools and no hospitals.
The children go to school only one hour
study almost nothing save church his
tory and a few verbs. Writing is not
taught, and reading is taught only to
the upper classes.
All marriages have to be celebrated
by the priests. Some time ago a mar
riage was performed between British
subjects in the British 1egat ton, and so
much trouble came from it that bat
tie well nigh ensued.

COMPLICATION OVER GAS.
Robert Lanyon's Sons Put Gas Well
on Land of Palmer Oil Company.

lola, June 30-Ex- County Surveyor
Dewitt has lately finished the work of
surveying and plating the ten acres
adjoining the townsite of LaHarpe, be-
longing to the Palmer Oil company
and according to the lines established
by this survey the big LaHarpe gas
well bored by the Robert LANNON'S
Sons Spelter company, is actually on
the Palmer company land, instead of
on the lot belonging to the canyons,
where it was intended to be put.
If the lines established by Mr. De-
Witt are officially confirmed the COM
plication will be an interesting one. A
gas we'll is permanent fixture. 1t
cannot very well be removed. Hence
it is part of the real estate and belongs
in the absence of contract to the con-
trary-to the owner of the land on
which it is located. Therefore If it is
proven that this well is actually on the
land belonging to the Palmer Oil COM
pany, it belongs to that company, and
the canyons have no legal right to it
and no recourse whatever against the
Palmer company. Indeed the Palmer
company, as the law stands, would be
able to get a judgment against the
canyons for damage to at least the
amount of the gas they have used and
sold out of the we'll. AS this is the
biggest we'll the canyons had yet found
in the LaHarpe field, the one which
supplies the town Of LaHarpe with fuel
and lights, and the one most depended
upon by them for fuel for the new
smelter, the serious side of it from their
standpoint may be easily seen. -

EFFECT OF THE WAR.
Stops Transportation of Freight Via
Gulf Ports.

ST. Louis, June 30.-Captain C. W.
Drown of New Orleans traffic manager of
the Red River line of packets, and chair
man of the meeting of the Louisiana rep
resentatives now being held at the South
ern hotel, talked, interestingly of the re-
cent scarcity of vessels in southern ports
due to the fear of getting in trouble with
the Spanish fleet, just before Cervera was
bottled up by Admiral Sampson in Santi-
ago harbOr.
1.-The war with Spain almost put stop
to the transportation of cotton-seed oil,
meal and other southern products" he
said 1.-The vessels that had been in the
trade did not feel sure of safety, and, as
a result, there was scarcely any tonnage
in the southern ports. The rates on cot
ton to Liverpool advanced to 1c a pound
and freight on cotton-seed oil products
went up from IS to 80 Shillings per ton,
with other freight in proportion. In con-
railroads and steamboats, fell off to al
most nothing. The people were afraid to
ship and freight was held at home by
owners until the conditions improved This
tonnage and business is moving on about
THE main object of our meeting here is
to arrange for the equi bic distribution
pers receipts The tax is lie on each re-
ceipt and each bill of lading and most of
the lines, believe, think it fair that the
railroad lines should pay for the 1c stamp
then let the shippers put the stamps
as many more they wish to have. These
receipts are usually in duplicate or tripH-
cate, or in fact, as many copies as the
the original the shipper should have to
pay for the additional stamps required"

Pittsburg Dispatch: 1.-The fact that
two nephews of the president, John De
Walt Barber and James F. Mckinley,
have been mustered into the volunteer
army as privates ought to set at rest
the growing about people with pulls
receiving appointments says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer. On the contrary, it
should have the effect of calling more
pointedly the attention of the people

this specimen of true patriotism the
