How She Foo'ed the Other Girls Neatly
 and Completely.
 The gil of my heart came home to attend cousins wedding on Thursday of last week and she stayed in town for two days before going back to schoo. for the commencement which will make her sophomore, says the Wash :ngton Post. It wouldn't be fair to tell the name of her school but it's an ex- cellent one, where the fashions of the mems college are followed, even to the possession of q college yell and the practIeing of hazing. The girl of my heart was hazed last fall. She did not Salnt when the girls touched her arm &lrn bit of ice and said they were branding her with an iron. She en- dured every ordeal so smilingly that the girls at last determined to do some thing perfectly dreadful. They marched her through dark halls, bind folded as she was, opened closet door III the physical laboratory, snatched the bandage from her eyes, pushed her in, locked the door and left he:@ shrieking in the arms of a skeleton. NOW, skeleton to her is no more teH- rHying than a hoopskirt, but she saw an opportunity to amuse herself. She IS one of the cleverest amateur actress es Washington possesses. She let down her hair and tangled it about her face. Her gown was an old one, so she sacrificed 1t and tore it to tatters. Then she waited. Presently she heard the girls returning. She began to croon softly to herself a weird song. The girls opened the door. She took no notice of them, but went on lavish ing kisses on the gfinning skull, laugh ing idiotically to herself the while. Finally one of them whispered: Girls, she's raEipg mad . That was the cue for the girl of my heart. She raved; she tore her hair; she shrieked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton; she laughed; she flung her. self about, and finally danced out into the outer room, moaning in a blood~ eurdling way. The girls dared not even breathe. They were ghastly. They elang to each other and shud- dered. The girl of my heart danced to the door. caught Up B knife from ta. ble, waved it with a hideous scream and sprang at them. Then, as they huddled together in a perfect agony cs fright, she dropped the knife aud opened the door. "Wel, girls" she said, drawlingly, T hope you've en- foyed the fun; I'm sire l have" Then she disappeared, and a dozen crest fallen girls, too frightened to dare to go into mysteries, too much relieved to be angry, stole quietly away. ley are clever girls at that college, but the girl of my heart is bell wether ot the flock.

POPE FORZA=DAY.

 Four Hours.

Four Hours.
 When Pope Leo XIII. dies his imme- dtate successor will be Cardinal Luigi oreglia, Camarlingo eff the Roman Catholic Church. He will not be called Pope, but according to the laws in force he will be Acting Pope until the heW Pope is elected. The Vatican reg ulations decree that the election of the new Pope cannot take place until after the burial of the late Pope, which takes place ten days after his deeease. In many instances the election is not completed for weeks or months, so that the Camarlinge may enjoy his papaI power for long time Leo XIII. helo the position Of GamarJngo when he himself was elected to the pont!f- cate, but it does not seem probable that his Camarlingo will succeed to the 7apal throne. It is the Camarlingo Who formally declares the pope dead after tapping his forehead three times With the silver hammer. He it is who breaks the seals and Ring of the Fish, erman," and then assumes the direc- tlen ot the Apostolic see until the new pope is chosen. The Camarlingo pre- sides over the sacred conclave of the cardinals having the election in hand, and keeps the key of the place of meet ing, so that none can enter or go out save with his consent. When the election is concluded he asks the new pontiff what name he intends to take. And after he has received the saluta- tion of the assembled cardinals it is the Cardinal-Camariingo who places on ta' finger the Ring of the Fisher man" He is, in fact, the actual sue- cessor of the pope, even though tenn porarily

r9ur Famous Statues.

The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thebes, and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of it's property of emitting sounds when it's lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally portrait model of King Amenophis III, and was one of pair of statues be- twefn sixty and seventy feet high, carfed out of single blocks Of saad- stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so we'll krewn the most remarkable is that of Bn Ina at Nara, raar Kioto, in Japan, winch was erected A. D. HOO. It is made of bronze. ard is ffty-three feet six Inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 9G6 curls, and the im- age is surrounded by glory or halo seventy-eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images, each twenty live feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight of metal In the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 600 pounds consist of gold

 Gomez Is Poor.

10 the honor of Gen. Maxine Gomez 1t must be said of him that while he has had many opportunities to get rich he IS today poor man, He can hard ly serape money enough together to pay his modest current bills. Not long since an agent of the United States government was dispatched to Cuba to consult with the general as to the best means of securing the disband- ment of the insurgent forces and their return quietly to peaceful avoeatfons, The negotiations eventually reached a point where it was deemed best for tue Cuban leader to send telegraphfc message to President Mckinley.
 You frame the dispatch and send It," said the envoy, "and I will be back in an hour
 At the time appointed. he appeared Did you telegraph the president of the United states?' was his first ques- ton.
 Gen. Gomez hesitated moment and then replied: @No, I haven't. I have prepared the dispatch. but have not put it on the wire. Here it is. Read it oyer."
 The visitor compiled, and after read ing the paper through handed it back with words of approval and the voiced suggestion:
 You had better send 1t right aWay.''
 The grizzled old veteran of haf- dozen revolutions flushed through hi1 sWarthy skin clear to the roots of his hair, twitched his fingers nervously, suffered and stammered and then with bowed head said:
 5enor, I would have sent it ere this, hut the truth is, I did not have the money and didn't know where to turn to get it. am deeply humiliated to have to cor ffess my poverty, but am obliged to do so lest you place a wrong construction on my hesitancy."
 There wys no further delay in get ting that dispatch off to Washington, and the visitor separated from the ven- erahle warrior with greater respect for him than he had ever felt before. The incident satisfied him that whatever might be his faults, Gen. Gomez was at least personally an honest man.

A Soldiers Tales,

From the Minneapolis (Kanl Mes. senger: During the first engagement while the company was firing at will into the woods ahead, forlorn water buffalo, the Philippine beast of burden. meandered into the rice field directly In front of the line The writer imme- diately directed his fire toward the buf- falo, with no apparent result. After ward, during full in the firing, we shamefully confessed to having wasted our strength in this ignoble manner. and were surprised to learn that every man had done likewise. At all events the beast made good it's escape, for it patiently plodded ahead until the timber swallowed it up. During the charge at Caloocan frenzled pig of diminutiVe size dashed from beneath a bamboo hut and apparently judging that all the commotion was for his benefit, thought best to retire. As the pig dashed past the writer We gently assisted with a shove from the butt of our gun and thought no more of it for some time. Afterward, upon glanc- ing to the rear, we saw four or five soldiers in hot pursuit of the same poor little swine. It is Iaughable, even in times of peace, to watch another man chase a hog, but when men forsake their places, forget the roar of conflict, the hum of bullets, the shouts Of the victors and the walls of the wounded, to grap- pie with an eight-pound shoat, the scene becomes iudicrous in the eA.
 treme. We took the trouble to learn that the pig got away At Caloocan the rebels had mounted two monstrous muzzle-loading guns captured in for mer time from the Spanish. They at tempted to fire one of these with dreadful results. The Americans col
 lected the remains of twenty rebels killed by the explosion of the. gun.
 The insurgents had not the courage to fire the remaining cannon, which was loaded and primed when Caloocan was captured. The natives had loaded the gun with complete curiosity shop. The cannon was filled with scissors, knives, coal, pieces of brick, nails, bolts, a thermometer. 2 horseshoe. a car link, a piece of rubber hose, and, to crown it all, a large quantity of hoop iron had been driven into the muzzle so tightly that it was necessary to file it before the charge could be drawn. A double dose of powder WAS found, and also quantity of dynamite. Nc wonder the other cannon esDleded.

 Raise for Protection. V
 On the departure of the spaniards the inhabitants of some of the Sulu Islands, notably Palawan, Balbabae and Kulion, applied for British protec- tion, and Capt. Pfort of the British steamer Labuan, visiting Palawan in response to the urgent request of the natives, handed to the latter a British flag, to be used in case of emergency. On the matter being reported to Sir Charles Mitchell. governor of the Straits, and subsequently, to the for eIgn office, the latter telegraphed to Singapore orders that the British flag should at once be hauled down, and ac- eording to adviees just received in Lon don, H. M s. Archer was dispatchea 10 Port Royalist. Palawan. to haul down the flag. From the report of Capt Pfort it appears that it was only en seeing the 1eally critical state of affairs that he gave the flag to the na- tIyes. The Labuan called at Port Roy alist, Palawan, on February 1. and found the people in great eonsterna- ton. The Spaniards had left three months previously, saying that the Americans would st.ske over the gov ernment in three days. On leaving, the Spaniards turned adrift, without food. clothes or money, all the native sol. diers. Tie conyiets. too, were set at liberty. and all arms and ammunition having been rep9oxed the people were entirely at the mercy of the disbanded soldiers and freed zeonvicts. who loot cd and pillaged the whole country. On his arrival Capt. Pfort was asked by theSaead man there if the governor of Sandahan would afford them protec- ton, and he. i'll reply, suggested that 2 letter in that sense should be dis patched to the governor of sandakan. Capt. Pfort also handed to them a Brit ssh merchant ensign with instructions to inform anyone seeking to molest them that the people were under Brit ish protection. He also gave to them this letter: Be it known unto all men that ]. Captain Pfort, master of the Brit sh steamer Labuan. having arrived at this port and found the people de- sircas of British protection, have this day given to the president of this port 8 British flag. which I have instructed him 10 use and call upon. all men to re- spect the same until suchs time as Her Britannia Maiestv, Queen Victoria. notifies her pleasure regarding the pro- lection of this port and the Island of Palawan in general" After leaving Port Royalist the Labuan called at Suraray and Jilandak ports, on the northwest coast of Palawan. and found RGimiiar condition Of things, the people being in terror in the mountains. Pro- ceeding to Kulion. an island seventy miles north of Palawan, Capt. Pfort found local republic set up under Aguinaldo. From this place he took oD board his steamer a number of refu- gees. The dispatch from Lord Sails. bury to Sir Charles Mitchell in refer ence to Capt. Pfort's action simply or dered the flag to be hauled down, and added that the British government dis approved of Capt. Pfert's action. Hel majesty government stated that Pala- wan and the adjacent islands, being portions of the Philippines, became by virtue of conquest, American territory.

CoMpLETE COUNTY TAX LEVY.
hoard of Supervisors Are In Session
Today.

from MOnuav Daily.
The total tax levy on Ottumwa prop
erty for the ensuing year will amonnt
to "a 4-1O mills, 81 mills of which are
included in the corporation levy;
1s 4-1O mills, in the county consoli,
dated; 80 in the city school levy, and
15 in the special railroad. assessment.
The board of supervisors met in regu-
lar session today and completed the
county tax levy. Last year the board
overlooked the one mill county school
levy which is provided by law. and
which is included this year in the to-
tai levy of 1s 4-10 mills. With this adj
dition the increase in the county con-
solidated levy this year over that of
last year is only 9-1O of q MILL The
board after consulting Attorneys A.
w. Enoch and George w. Heindel lev
led special assessment for building
the Ottumwa & Northern railroad. In
Richland and Kirkville townships the
levy was SO mills, and in the city of
Ottumwa is mills.
The increase in the total tax levy in
the city of Ottumwa is enormous. 1T
is true the assessment this year was
made on 25 per cent basis instead OF
a 40 per cent basis last year, and by
this change the taxable valuation OF
Ottumwa property will be one and one
half million dollars less than last year.
The increase in taxation will probably
fall heavier on the small property own
ers, in the majority Of which cases
there was very little reduction made in
the assessed valuation.

Irate Father-in-la1vE Kills One Man and
Commits Suicide


Commits Suicide
Longview, Tex, Sept. 15.-Panola
county, especially Beckvilie, is excited
over triple tragedy. The trouble
started with the marriage of James
Forsythe. highly respected young
man, and Miss Ollie Simpson, a belle Of
the neighborhood.
Eorsythe did not have the approval
of the girls father, Andrew Simpson,
but with several young men he succeed
ed in eloping with the young woman
and they We're married Saturday night.
This so angered the old man that he
saddled his horse and loaded a double
barreled shotgun and took his pistol,
declarinr that he would kill the whole
party concerned.
As Simpson rode up to Forsythe's
home he saw his son-in-law fleeing
through the orchard. He brought him
down with seven buckshot in the groin,
leaving him for dead. He then rode
toward the house. King Fl. Forsythe,
father of James, came out unarmed
to see what the trouble was, and was
instantly killed with load of bucllshot
in the abdomen. Simpson then dis
mounted and ran into the house, say
ing that he would, kill his daughter,
but the mother of young ForsNtke ran
between them and held his pistol until
the girl escaped. Simpson then walk
ed out the front gate, put his pistol to
his forehead and fired, killing himself
instantly.
Young Forsythe is desperately
wounded, but may recover.

RaIn MT Charlton.

Charlton, Sept. 1s.-The long
looked for and much needed
rain visited this section Saturday
evening. 1t began at about $3.50 p. M,
after very hot day, in which the
thermometer stood as high as 92 de-
grees above zero, and which is proba-
bly, the summers dying kick of hot
weather. The rain fell all night, a
slow, steady rain that gave the ground
plenty of time to soak it up. Sunday,
however, was a cold, dreary day and
last night cloudy and cold, not giving
the rain the chance to do the good TO
crops it might otherwise have done.
If it clears off warm the rain will do
thousands of dollars worth of good to
Lucas county, but should it remain
cold much corn will be ruined.
