Canton, Mimi, seven years ago be-
came quite noted by parties claiming
to see the picture of Jesus and a
c,oss in the window of the Catholic
church. The glass was removed and
secured, during this time the window
was boarded up, but the spectre was
seen on the altar and on the boards.
Great crowds were attracted there
aud every business that filled the
wants of the people was taxed to it's
full capacity. It is claimed that this
vision has again made its appearance
and has been seen by a number OF
people. No explanation can be given
of this remarkable instance. It is in
credulous, yet it is vouched for by
reputable people.

The state fair this year will hold a
full week-from Monday morning
until Saturday night. Every exhibit
must be in place and ready for in
spection when the gates open Mon
day morning and the Saturday ev-
ening program will be the most bril-
liant of the entire week. As the
cities present no special attractions,
the fair will be the whole thing and
everything will move with a vim that
will not keep people waiting and
wondering impatiently what will
come next The managers have
spent several thousand dollars to
make great all-around fair, with
something good in it for everybody,
and they propose to keep things
humming from Monday morning
until Saturday night, in order to get
in all the good things the program
promises.
Henry Sieman was arrested Tues
day afternoon by F. H. Traeht for
cutting grain on Sunday, and
brought before Justice Ryan that
evening. No witness appearing
against him, Mr.. Sieman was dis
charged. He then had a warrant
sworn out for Traeht for malicious
arrest. Tracht was arrested and
brought before Ryan who released
him under bond of 500 to appear
in six days to answer to the charge.
Henry Nolte went his bonds and sent
him on bis way rejoicing. From
what the News could learn there has
been bad feeling between the two
men for some time over religious
matters and his arrest is the outcome.
Nearly every farmer in the country
cut grain Sunday owing to the way
it was spelling, and it is hard to find

sTOWAWAYS BRING LUCK
LFrom Casselrs Magazine

81 am not given to losing my temper
said one captain to the writer, but I
confess that when on one voyage we
found no fewer than IA men had man
aged to stow themselves away below
felt inclined to give them all ducking,
and said So" This was the captain of
an Atlantic liner a man to whom the
stowaway is a perpetual nuisance.
Though the strictest watch is kept to
prevent his getting on board, it is rare
for trip to be made without one or
two specimens of the dead-head fra
ternity being carried, willy nilly, free.
OF course, this is not done entirely
without connivance on the part of some
body on board the ship. The stokers
are not infrequently the guilty parties.
With their or others aid the stowaway
gets down into the hold and finds a
dark corner in which to Secrete himself
until the vessel is at sea. If then he is
discovered and set to work he does not
mind. 1t is not work he is afraid of,
but the being without work and the
bread that accompanies 1T. When it is
considered what an enormous thing an
Atlantic liner is, and how many dark
places there are in her vast interior, it
is not surprising to hear that scores OF
men during the course of a year get
free passage across the herring pond in
one ship or another-and this though a
steamer never leaves port without
search being made to see that no I'M
authorized person is on board. Many
are discovered in bunkerS, and other
such places, and, of course, carefully
conducted on shore; but not a few man.
age to elude detection, and, of course.
once away from land little is feared
from discovery. There is a curious no.
ton prevalent among some sailors; it is
that a stowaway is a lucky passenger
to carry. Asked once why it was, old
salt answered that he never heard of a
ship being lost that had a stowaway on
board. OF course, he had an instance
in point to relate. 1t was to the effect
that StOwaway was discovered in hid
ing an outgoing vessel at the last
moment and elected. Shaking his fist
at the captain, the would-be voyager
cried: I'm glad you've turned me out
of your rotten ship; neither she nor You
will live to see Christmas day, while 1
shall" The prophecy proved a true one.
The vessel went down within a week of
sailing, and only the second officer and
a few men were saved. One wonders
how such a superstition arose, if super
stition it can be called. Does it arise
from the notion-old as the hills-that
the unfortunate are ever under the
special protection of heaven, and that
it is particularly displeasing to the pro-
violence that watches over such waits if
anything be done to thwart their wiShes2
The foolish, the blind, children and
drunkards are proverbially said to be
under such peculiar guardianship and
care. Perhaps, henceforth, we must add
the StoWaway to the list.
