IDUHA,

lDUnAs
A few days ago we asked Mr.. George
Wilson to explain the word "Iduna," +"
knowing his fondness for chasing such
information, and we give his answer,
as we know there are others who are
interested In the word.
1.-THE gods of the old Morse mythology
were Odin the "Allfather," his wife
Frigga; and Baldar, his son the god of
Light. Odin had two brothers Viii and
Ve Thor was another son OF Odin and
Frigga. Not necessarily immortal, they
all renewed their vigor by eating the
apples of Iduna.' a.''-Encyclopedia Brit
tanica.
''Idunu was the wife of Bragi, the old
Morse god of poetry. Our word "brag''
is believed to have come from this. In
saying that a man Dragged they meant
that he was using ths-fanguage of poetry
and not that Cf plain, close prose facts,
lust as we now politely say such one is
'sromanc!ng." The home of Idunn and
her husband Bragi was called Brunnakr,
literally the field of the fountain. Springs
were looked on as mysterious and OF
godlike origin among the ancients. In
old times in the north it was said OF a
poet that he had become the husband
of Iduna."-From Cleasby and Wig
fusson's Icelandic Dictionary and Jacob
Grimm's Deutsche Mythology, German
MythoIogy.)

There was plenty of excitement n town
Thursday evening. A telegram from
Kansas City stated that war had been
declared at 2 O'Clock. The news spread
rapidly. Everybody was excited. The
streets were full of people; flags were
unfurIed, crackers and anvils were fired,
business was neglected and the people
were wild with enthusiasm. The INTBL-
LIGENCER telegraphed to the Kansas City
! Times to know il the report was true.
| We waited an hour for an answer, and in
| the meantime the operator at Kansas
City told the operator here that the
people OF Kansas City were holding "hIgh
jinks" over the news. This seemed to
corroborate the first dispatch and the
band was gotten out and played several
patriotic airs. While the excitement was
at fever heat the answer from the Kansas
City Times was received. 1t said: "The
report is untrue" Our reporter, who was
at the telegraph Office, got the message
and started down the street telling the
people the news was not true. They
would not at first believe him. He says
he was called liar eight times before he
got to the INTELLIGENcER office. The
telegram fell like wet blanket on the
enthusiastic crowd, and in five minutes
the crowds were dispersed. But there
was a hot time in the old town while it
| lasted.
