Twelve hours a elapsed before the
deep slumber induced by the narcotic
given Agnes and Hera terminated.
Agnes was the first from whom the
stupor passed. She made a light move
ment, which served to awaken Hera.
The two sisters opened their eyes at
the same moment, and raised them
selves on the bed, where they rested
side by side.
At the bungalow they shared the
same chamber, but slept in separate
beds. Finding themselves almost in
each others arms, they looked at each
other in amaze, their minds still be-
wildered by the narcotic. and forgetful
OF all that had taken place.
Their astOnishment increased when
they discovered that they were fully

chamber revealed its stranganess.

STORYETTES.

A pugilist in Chicago was giving an
interview to a reporter recently. The
pugilist is from Australia, and has
travelled in South Africa, so the re-
porter asked him IL he had met Cecil
Rhodes. Rhodes" replied the Aus
t~ralian; whats his weight?"
A British tourist wandered into the
Rustlers' Retreat in an Arizona town
recently, and languidly asked for a Ugh
ball. Jake called the accommodate
ing barkeeper to his assistant, 'the
gent wants a eye-ball; l dunno wat fer,
but he wants it. Go out and ketch a
Chinaman."
Friends OF the two remember the
quarrels that used TO go on between
the late Sir Rowland Hill and Anthony
Trollope when they both were con-
nected with the postofice. A discus
of official language and private"
language. "In Official life," said Sir
Rowland, glazing at Trollope, 81 am

Its only a small sum-the editor
don't need it; get as mad as you
can and tell him to stop the paper
you never read anyhow: Go

be busy. Make him feel as if he
were intruding. When the adver-
Using or job man comes, tell him
you don't need to advertise
everybody knows you; that you
will try to get along without
printed stationery-it's too ex-
pensive; that business is slack
and you must economize. Never
drop in to see the editor unless
you want a complimentary notice
or a lengthy obituary for q beloved
relative. Never recommend the
paper to anybody. When you

Suit was commenced in the district
court yesterday In the name Of the
State of Iowa to prevent the draining
of Mobiles Lake, located along the
county line in Rockford township,
adjoining Harrison county. The suit
was brought at the instance of At
torney General Remley, and on the
showing in the petition that w. A.
Smith, who lives in the vicinity of the
lake, had already COMMENCED to Grain
the water from the lake into the
Missouri river. A temporary writ of
injunction was issued by Judge Smith
and q deputy sheriff was dispatched
Immediately to serve papers on Smith

to saving the lake.

A few days ago 1t came to the notice
of County Attorney Killpack that
Smith was digging q ditch from the

and the supposition was that he was
about to drain the lake. MI. Killpack
reported the matter to the attorney
general and the latter advised him to
employ, attorneys and begin injunc.
ton proceedings on behalf of the state.
1t is not known, of course, what
Smiths intentions were, but it is stated
that he has already made considerable
progress with the enterprise and that
if he had not been stopped he might
have had the lake dry by to.

he could have, would be to gain the &C.
creted land, which would be consider
bable, as the lake is two miles long and
q quarter of Q mile wide. On Smiths
behalf it is stated that possibly he in.
tended only to drain the overflow
water from his land adjoining the
lake.

On THURSDAY night, as a sample
of the prosperity which our friend D
NJ. still insists does not exist here
sbouts, there were in the RAILROAD
bound. So congested with traffic is
the main line of the Q. u N. w, that
out without blocking the road. The
yards were SO full of cars here that
the ordinary switching was almost inn
possible. The yard men say if this
condition of things continues much
longer, they will 0e compelled.E1o vote
i feT tfee sssas again as the only SURE
That's a fact-lf Mckinley had not
been elected President in 1896, not q
bushel of grain would have been rails
ed in the west, and not q car would
have been needed to carry grain to the
eastern market, the long drouth would
nave continued. and we of the west
would have been compelled to vote for
protection to save the manufacturers
of the east from ruin. 1t is wonderful
to think how the election of q republic
san President. and the enactment of
the Dingley tariff bill made the rains
of heaven descend caused the grain and
grass to grow, caused the cattle on o
thousand hills to increase an fatten.
and thus increase shipment on the rail
roads, and if this rush continues we
will be compelled to elect a democrat
in 1900 to stop the rush; the only thing
lacking to make the county happy Is
to raise the price of labor in proper
ton with this prosperity. With Major
Mckinley in the White House, rains
descend, crops grow. railroads prosper,
but after all. don't you think, my dear
brother, that it is possible that all this
might have happened, no difference
who is PRESIDENT The tariff has but
little to do with rain fall or tho grow
ing of crops, and the carrying trade is
dependent upon the amount to ship,
and not upon the federal administra-
ton or a political party.

We are permitted to publish the
following letter from Miss Edith
Amen descriptive of their trip in
the east:
Little Boar's Head, N. b., July
14, 1899.-We arrived here last
Wednesday 80 you see We were
over q week on the way. We
went from home to Chicago, from
there to Detroit and from Detroit
to Buffalo on an elegant steamer.
For greenies it was immense can
tell you.
From Buffalo we went to Mag
ara and here we had a lovely time.
l enjoyed the Falls hugely. Then
to Toronto and from Toronto to
Montreal on the water. We went
from Montreal to Prescott on q
brand new boat and it was lovely.
At Prescott we got on a smaller
boat for a large one can't shoot the
rapids in the river. The thous-
and islands are awfully pretty but
we had to get up about s a m to
see the prettiest ones and 1 didn't
Hike that part Of it.
We got on the boat about 2 o m
and didn't get off till z p m the
next day. 1t was nice until the
morning of the second day when
it began to rain and so we had to
stay inside till the middle of the
afternoon. 1t was fun shooting
the rapids on that trip for It
rocked the boat quite a little.
From here we went to the White
mountains and while there went
up Mt Washington, which was a
delightful trip. From there we
came here aud although we en-
joyed the journey immensely We
we're glad to get where we could
feel a little more settled.
Yesterday, Papa, Harlan,
Cousin Bessie, and 1 went to
Portland, NJ r to visit the "White
Squadron" The Mass, New
York, New Orleans, Brooklyn,
Ind, and Texas were in the feet
or rather composed it, and it was
an imposing sight. 1t made one
feel rather small. We visited the
Texas on which Hobson was. The
others we're there but we didn't
have time to examine them. The
places where shells struck are all
mended and everything in perfect
order. The sailors allseem happy
and are delighted to show YOU
around and answer questions.
They we're getting supper and
the cooking utensils are immense,
for they cook for over four hun
dred. They, l don't NEAR the
four hundred, are stationery and
some a great deal larger than a
wash boiler. They were making
some kind of a hash, l guess, and
twas lots of fun to watch the
cooks cut up onions and potatoes.
They didn't watch their work at
all but stood and watched the
crowd. Some we're sewing and it
looked SO funny, but they seemed
to understand their business.
Wa went into the boiler rooms
and it was dreadfully hot. One
man said, ooh! it isn't hot in
here. You ought to go into the
fire rooms" He said the temper
ature got as high as 1902. Just
think of it, and they work there
for four hours at a time. The
floors are terrible and we could
stand it for only a minute.
We visited the cable building
near here, the other day, and It
was very interesting. The GENTLE
man showed US how they found a
break, the different sized cables,
the way they repair it, and, oh!
80 much about it. Every mess
age that comes over their cable
comes through this building and
the message is recorded.
We went bathing this morning
and had lots of fun, although the
