given no cause for comment, and by some
had almost been forgotten. 1t now has
again presented it's claims for notoFiety
in manner which is certainly as aston
fishing as had ever been credited to 1t be-
fore. The water has been continually ris-
ing for several days and has reached
mark over Its natural height, and Is still
reaching out in an effort to cover more
territory. The pond Is now higher, it Is
reported by residents in the vicinity, than
1t has been since 1870.
The most peculiar feature connected
with the present conditions existing there
is the fact that farming land located at
a gerat distance from the lake has been
affected. John Strickland, who resides
near the Center church, recently plowed
a field located two and one-quarter miles
from the pond, on which he intended to
raise a crop of potatoes. He had also
completed large shed OH the lot for the
reception of the crop when 1t was har-
vested. The soil Is sandy, but Nj. Strick-
land had always considered 1t among the
most valuable of all his farming land, and
it has never given him reason to believe
otherwise. A few days ago he had occa-
sion to do some work on the lot with an
OK team, and great was his surprise to
find the soil wet and unfit for working.
He drove his team some distance onto the
field where one of the oxen sank down to
his body in the earth and was with much
difficulty extricated from his position.

tircly too easy. The governors wers
looked after more carefully. During
the presidential campaign Maj. .Mckin-
ley was guarded all the time, although
there was no ostentation of police pres
ence and protection. Cranks are al
ways likely to appear about executive
mansions, and precautions cannot be
too complete to cope with them, when
ever an emergency may arise.
''For example, while Mckinley was
governor told the colored doorkeeper
that if ever asked him to admit my
friend he must go at once for the cap
tain of the capitol police. That was a
good precaution, as you Will see. One
morning, while I was sitting back of q

heavy voice ask if the governor was
in. l didn't like the voice, and stepped
from behind my screen, just as the
clerk near the door, who was reading

was bound to get some good Office.
President Garfield saw him twice and
listened to his story. Guiteau wanted to
be sent as consul to Lyons, France.
President Garfield told him that, If
Hooker made that promise, it should
be kept. This also elated Guiteau.
Hooker afterwards saw Garfield, and
thereafter Garfield refused to see Gui-
teau.
...He went to the white house every
day until the middle of June. Then,
when he was refused permission to see
the president, he stated to several of the
white house employees that he had called
for the last time. He never called
again. He was never seen about the
white house. His disappointment had
worn upon his nerves for many weeks.
Finally, when the president refused to
see him, he became violently insane.
From that day his one aim was to find
an opportunity to commit murder.
Finally the opportunity came, and his
deadly purpose was accomplished"

private secretary to Gov. Foraker and
Gov. Mckinley of Ohio. was an atten-

In 1880 the crank, Guiteau, came to ma

"You know that cranks are thicker'n

new political plans whereby the enemy

an idea that, with financial aid, he could
make speeches in French for Garfield,
and carry the French quarters OF New
York and Chicago. He wanted to work
for the republican party, and he wanted

The new lovely rose color called

among rich or dainty summer textiles
and on French millinery in hats entire
or among the striking accessories.
Many dressmakers are using fionnces
cut straight from the goods, instead OF
the long-popular circular shapes cut

fabrics the former come from the laun-
dry in better condition than the others.
and on very light, airy fabrics they
hang better, even when the founces are
first arranged upon the skirt. White
India linen or Victoria lawn dresses
have three founceE on the skirt, gradu-
ated in size. They are each made with
1k-inch hem, with three tncks above
the hem. India muslins of pale forget
me-not blue are trimmed with deep
cream-colored lace insertion bands and
appliques. Some of the imported
dresses have tucked bodice and hip
yokes alternating with insertion, with
sleeves tucked and banded from wrist
to elbow. Blue nuns yelling gowns are
similarly made.
The toques, turbans and English
walking hats of this season are greatly
liked, these shapes being patronized by
some of the best dressed women Of the
city. A great fancy prevails this year
for making up tulle into sailor, toque
and other fashionable styles. Two col
ors are generally used on these models,
like green tulle combined with white
tulle, blue with violet, etc. A charm

white is trimmed with black velvet,
