His Great Work.

A Chicago man who has written a
book was telling about it the other day
to friend who had once done him a
service.

of my work, if you care for it,"
II should be more than pleased to

you will write your name in it,"

Just around the corner. If you will ac-
company me, we will 90 there and get

After they had stopped to glance at
some of the new things in the book
store the author hailed a clerk and,
pushing his chest out very far asked
Tor the novel that he had written.
Yes, SIR" the clerk said. 1--WE have
1t around here somewhere, believe,
but you are the first one who has ever
asked for copy, and it may take me
some time to find it. Wouldn't some
thing else do just as well? We have a
great many better books at the same
price."-Chicago Times-Herald.

How He Obtained quiet.

At one Of the meetings during Mr..
Moody's services in Kansas City hymn
sheets were distributed by the ushers
just previous to his address. He was
feeling very tired, and speaking was a
great exertion; so. fearing the noise
that would result should the audience
rustic them. he resolved to get rid Of
them. He called out, "Will everybody
who has hymn sheet hold II upw
The sheets were held up all over the
hall. Mr.. Moody shouted, Now shake
themw
Twelve thousand fiimsy sheets of pa
per were shaken vigorously. They
made an indescribably musical sound.
There Is nothing to compare ii with.
One can only say 1t was vast rustic.
THAT will do" called Mr.. Moody at
the top Of his voice. The sound ceased.
"All right said Mr.. Moody. Now sit
on those hymn sheets" The audience
sat on them. Having taken this pre-
caution against interruption, Mr.. Moo
dy began his sermon.

IOWA STATE COLUMN.
Telegraphic Matters Of Interest to Our
Own People.
Happenings Throughout the State Re-.
corded for the Benefit of the Read
ers Of This Paper.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Sept. FIT is
believed that scores of men in Iowa,
generally known as tax ferrets,"
many of whom have made much money
mcovering tax dodgers. will shortly
find their business thing of the past.
A decision has just been handed down
by the supreme court of Minnesota
which is thought to be applicable in
this state, which holds that contracts
made by board of county commits
sioners for the payment of money col
lected as taxes for the hunting up
of property that has been hidden from
assessment are void.
In this county it is stated that the
''tax ferret has discovered enough
property that if spread upon the tax
books, and the taxes collected, will net
him the sum of $1,000. What is true
Of Linn county is true of almost every
other county in the state. 1t is ex-
pected that injunction suits will be be-
gun in all the counties in the state to
restrain the payment of any money to
these "ferrets," and that as cOnse-
Quence the business will be brought to
a SDeedy end.

1t has been practically decided by the
electricity to be generated by the water
power works on the Susquehanna River at
ConOwingo, and transmitted thence to this
city. While plans fer the completion Of the
enormous new powerhouse on Pratt street
have not been finally abandoned, work on the
structure is not being vigorously pushed.
Capitalists who are interested in the Susque-
| hanna power plant are also interested in the
| United Railways.
The charter for the Susquehanna works was
secured from the Maryland Legislature several
years ago, but no steps for the erection OF the
plant were taken until rect ntly. Last winter
rival company asked for and received a
charter for plant on the Hartford bank of
| the river. It's operations will not, however.
| conflict with these Of the older CONF any.
Surveys for the latter company's extensive
plant have been competed, and work will
| begin IN a short time. The first station to be
| erected will contain water-wheel and dynamo
capacity for 10000 electrical torse power.
In con: equence of the construction Of the
plant, it is anticipated that trolley line will
| be built from Baltimore through Baltimore
| and Hartford counties to the Susquebanna
River. There is already a charterin existence
| for the construction OF trolley road through
this territory.-Bdtimore american.

Acting Captain Of Detectives Tod Hall on
Tuesday declared that VIM. Black, the negro,
who is awaiting trial for the dastardly feloH-
ious assault upon young girl near Aberdeen
on February 81, was the same man who was
convicted under the name Of George Smith In
Cecil county about eleven years ago OF at
tempting to feloniously assault young white
girl. The girl who was about fourteen years
of age, was on an errsud, when the negro,
who was then about % years Of age, dragged
her from public road into a wooded place
and attempted the assault. This occurred
March 81, 1889. Hs was captured the same
night and after a trial, In which his counsel
offered no defense, he was sentenced to 10
years confinement In the penitentiary, from
which he was discharged July %, 1897.
Captain Hall and Detective O'Donnell were
looking over a descriptive list of long.term
prisoners who had been released, when they
found description which Tailed with that
of Black. They got his photograph from the
rogue's gallery and with 1t and the description
they visited the jail and saw the prisoner.
The picture closely resembles Black and the
description tallies with the description of him
in every particular. The Bertillon measure
ments correspond with great exactness, even
to the tattooed marks upon the arm Of the
n'gro. Mr.. John F. Weyler, tie warden OF
the penitentIary reco snfzed the picture az
that of George Smith, alias William Black.
Black denied that the picture was one oil
himself. He said he was never convicted OF
| crime in Cecil county. He claims 10 have o
