core of mission house under the hill

have long since fallen back into jungle.

Making a Dictionary.

Nearly every one has had the bright
idea that it must be tremendous
amount of work to get up dictionary,
but few have any notion of the real
size of the task. When johnson got
his famous dictionary started he cal
culated that with six assistants he
could complete the task in three years.
II took him nine years instead. He
received the small recompense of
81 500, end had TO pay his assistants
out of that.
Webster worked 2. years before his
dictionary made its bow to the world.
Webster was very punctilious in his
definitions, and SO painstaking that it
was wonder he completed the work
when he did,
The words which give the compiler
OF dictionary the most trouble are
the little one-syllable Saxon words.
Their history extends back into the
Saxon period, and their meaning has
become twisted in many directions.
Words with pcdigrecs are the hardest
to trace.
When new dictionary is projected
one man is selected as editor-in- chief,
and he appoints his sub editors. Then
appeals arc sent out to literary people
in general for voluntary contributions
in the nature of rare and curious words.
| There are over 1000 people who have
offered their services in the case Of
dictionary now making. They are to
read standard works, ancient and
modern, in the search for curious
words. their origin and meaning.
These words written on slips Of paper,
are filed in thousands of pigeonholes.
Over six tons Of slips have been put
away This means 6,000,OOO words.
But only 100000 will be printed.
The amount Of work necessary to
properly sort these is evident Chi

Peculiar Toys.

Most mothers. il they were asked,
could tell Of the love shown by their
children for various articles to be found
about the house and certainly never
intended as toys for children. One child
will take violent love for her mother 8
curling irons another will pin his affec-
tions to the metal pudding mold or the
feather duster. AS Is rule, when the
child is discovered with either Of these
possessions, 1t is promptly taken away
from him, and then follows either keen
disappointment or tears and howls, ac-
cording to the nature Of the child.
Now. why should not such an article
be bought specially for him as toy If
the possession would give so much
pleasures It would not cost more than
ain ordinary toy and in many cases
would be more vaiued.-New York

NO SPECIAL SESSION.
Governor Stanley Says He Will Not
Call One.

Governor Stanley arrived in the city
today from Wichita and left this after
noon at 4 o'clock to speak tomorrow at
Washington, Kan. A reporter for the
State Journal asked the governor if he
would call a special session of the leg
islature to appropriate money to pay
the expense Of bringing the Kansas
soldiers home from San Francisco. He
replied by saying2
mo, I will not call the legislature to-
gether for this purpose because do not
believe there is such an emergency con-
fronting US. special session of the
legislature for this purpose would mean
an enormous expense and do not be-
Heve it would be justifiable.'
Asked if his plan to have the rail-
roads bring the troops home and trust
to the next legislature for their pay
was working successfully, the governor
said:
I have yet to see the representatives
of one or two lines but I am confident
that the plan will succeed. The rail-
roads seem to consider the question IA
vorably and 1 believe they will bring
the Kansas boys home. I also believe
too that no Legislature would fail to re-
munerate the railroads for this public
service. 1t is a duty the state owes to
our fighters and one which I believe
the people will approve

DEAD IN THE STREET.
Body of a Woman Found on
Fashionable ThorOughfare.

Omaha, Aug. "a woman whose
identity is a mystery was found
dead on the pavement on Park avenue
this morning by a newspaper carrier.
Doctors say she had been dead for sew
eral hours and that death resulted from
a fracture of the skull evidently caused
by a fall on the pavement.
All that the people who live in the
vicinity know about it is that about IL
O'Clock last night they heard a woman
scream and saw a buggy passing in
which was a man and a woman. The
man was flashing the horse into run
and holding the woman, who was stand
ing up and evidently trying to jump out
of the buggy. There is at present
clue as to the identity of the dead wo-
man or the man who was with her.
She is well dressed and evidently a
woman of refinement. The street where
she was found is in the heart of the
best residence section of the city.

OHIO DEMOCRATS
Gather at GAINESVILLE For Their
State Convention.

GAINESVILLE, O., Aug. 29.-There is an un-
usually large attendance at the Demo-
cratic state convention this year. The S02
delegates constitute a small part of the
attendance. The only clubs in attendance
in bodies are those from Cincinnati and
Columbus. the homes of Mclean and Kill
bourne. There are many others here from
the IS counties in the interest of these two
leaders and of other candidates for gov
ernor. The new state central committee
selected today will hold over for the pres
idential year and the interest in the con
troll of the party machinery for the presl-
dency attracts many at this time.
There are those present who are Wllllng
to have a strong declaration against Nc
Kinley and imperialism, but they protest
against declaration against the war in the
Philippines.
There is no opposition to a declaration
against Hanna and bossism, or the usual
issues. The Chicago platform viii be re-
affirmed with a strong endorsement Of
Bryan. There is an unusual fight Tor the
committee on permanent organization as
the anti-McLean men objected to the Nc
Lean slate which included Congressman
]. A. Norton of Tiffin for permanent
chairman and Thomas J. Oogan OF Gin
ciunati for secretary.

ELEorING TEACHERs
Agricultural College Regents Are
Holding a Session.

J. NJ. Satterthwaite of Douglas, a
member of the board of regents of the
state agricultural college, was in the
city today on his way to Manhattan to
attend a special meeting of the board
this afternoon.
The board convenes to fill some va
canc1es in the corps of teachers. One of
the most important was caused by G.
w. Kendrick of Junction City, who, af-
ter being elected to the chair of Eng
lish, declined to accept the position.
Kendrick first applied for the presi-
dency of the college; he withdrew that
application and sought the chair OF
English to which he was elected. He
later declined.
1t is not improbable that the board
may select a president of the college.
At the last session of the board the
eral ballots We're taken for President.

is a case of espionage and advised
Picquart not to make too much use
of the lady's offers, saying to him:
There must be no petticoats.' .
At this 1uncture NJ. Labor informed
the president of the court that he had
received a telegram signed Pages, -
announcing the dispatch of a letter rel
alive to the relations between Colonel
Counsel added that he had himself re-
ceived a telegram as follows: Il de-
clare Colonel Sandherr told me dis
tinctly that neither before, nor after
the conviction was an offer of money
made to him.
Col. Jouaust announced that he
would not read the writer because he
did not know the writer and asked the
usual question of Dreyfus, who replied
that he would refer merely to the
scene on October Is. preceding his ar
rest.
1T was he said, 80 fantastic that
I frankly confess understood nothing
connected with it. 1t was conducted
under such conditions that I do not
know what manner of brain could have
conceived it and when l left the extra
ordinary scene my head literally reeIed,
so can not remember the facts and
details"
Major Lauth having been permitted
to speak said Col Cordfer's leave of
absence commenced September 10 and
not September % to which Cordier re-
torted that he was much surprised at
contradictions on such an unimportant
point. But nevertheless his original
statement was true.
Continuing, the major commented on
Col. Cordier's testimony, especially the
statement that there were no anti
semites on the headquarters staff, re-
marking that there was one exception
and this was Cordier himself who was
always expressing antipathy to the
Jews, especially when there was a ques-
ton of introducing Dreyfus to the de-
partment.
MAN WITH A CONSCIENCE
Yes" exclaimed Cordier, quite
true. was an anti-semite, but my
opinions never went to the length of
bringing false evidence against the
Jews. (Sensation) I am an honest
man and I have a conscience" Gre

an incentive to the city to improve the
balance.
