} "While it cannot be stated that it is an
American habit to light lamps and gas
with money" explained an official Of the
redemption division of the treasury de-
partment to a reporter, there are a
number who appear actually to have
money to burn and who now and then
burn 1t. There are more money burners,
too, than come to the front and demand
q redemption Of their partly destroyed
money, for some people hesitate before
they are willing to appear in such an in
defcnsibe position. don't want to be
understood as stating that 1t occurs ev-
cry day, for that would probably be
stretching it somewhat, but it is fact
that it occurs many more times than
would be supposed.
"A case of the kind came to the divi-
sion Inst week, where a fellow lighted
match at the door of his room and from
that lighted what he supposed was
piece of paper which he had in his pocket.
He started with the lighted paper to find
the gas jet. He found 1t. and as he blew
out his lighted paper he ascertaiued, to
his surprise and disgust, that his taper
was so BILL more than one-half Of
which had been burned. In his communi-
cation to the secretary Of the treasury, to
whom he was advised to write, he adj
milted that he was fool and deserved
kick instead of anything else, but said
as grass was rather short with him he
would have to appeal for redemption. He
furnished the necessary atfidavits which
under the law have to be filed in such
cases, and new bill was sent him for
the half burned note which he sent in for
redemption. Lots of times people burn
money, but make no claim for redemp-
ton. supposing that they have no redress

ment does not as Il rule, hunt up trouble;

Washington, July 27.--General Mac
Arthur has cabled the war depart
Iuent announcement of the successful
erection of another municipal gov
ernment in the Philippines under the
terms laid down by the Philippine
commission. This particular govern
ment is established at Vigan, on the
northwest coast of the island of Lu-
zon, at point made memorable by
the landing of Young's forces during
the pursuit of Aguinaldo, when that
leader was last in strength. The al
calde referred to in General Mac
Arthur's dispatch corresponds to the
Spanish alcalde, or American mayor.
NJ. j. Morley, manager of the orien.
tails, who is to be at the state fair,
has written to Secretary Van Houten
that his special train would be here
on time, and the 300 people ready for
shows on Monday of fair week. He
says the twelve cars of scenery and
costumes will be retained for the
company on sidetracks, and that the
midway will be one of the best feat

ANOTHER NOTE FROM CoNGER.
Message Is Dated Pekins, Jnly the
Fourth.

Washington, July 26.-Commander
of the Brooklyn, Thomas, cables the
navy department as follows:
"Chc Foo, Gully pa written mes,
sage signed by Conger, dated July A.,
was received at lien Isin July Fl, and
says:
"'IIave been besieged two weeks in
the British legation. Grave danger of
general massacre by the Chinese SOL
diers, who are Smelling legation daily.
The city is without govern
ment except the Chinese army.
1t is determined to mas
sacre all foreigners in Peking. The
entry of relief force into the city will
probably be hotly contested"
The message from Minister Conger,
which came over the wires from Cap
tain Thomas, was the first commune
cation of uDquestionable authentic
ity which has been received from the
American minister at Picking since
his urgent appeal for help July IL. 1t
establishes very clearly the fact that
the American minister. and probably
the other les ationers, was alive
July 4, though in sore straits.
Therefore it completely and finally
disposed of the first story published
in Shanghai, of the massacre on June
81. 1t is true it does not in itself
negative the subsequent report of the
massacre on July 6, two days later
than the day of the dispatch, but the
officials here feel there is quite much
reason to believe the second report
false, as in the case of the first r.
port, which is now shown to have
been erroneous.

Farmers Horrible Dea tn.

Iowa City, July 25.-Joseph Wa
mex, a prosperous farmer who lives
four miles southeast of Amana, net
with a frightful death. The old
man was engaged in cutting his
crop of hay when terrible accident
occurred which caused his death The
horses, from some unknown agency,
SHE'D violently, and Mr.. Wanek, who
was seated on the mower, was thrown
from the seat. Down in front of
the rapidly moving wheels he fell, and
the keen, glistening knives severed
his legs from his body. The horses
were dashing at breakneck speed.
With each step the hind feet of the
horses fell with deadly thud on the
head of the helpless man. The horses
soon broke loose from their awful
load and dashed on down the field.
When Mr.. Wanek was picked up
il was ascertained that the breath of
life had passed out. With both legs
cut off and the body a bruised and
bleeding mass, no hope for restora-
ton existed.

Boy Fell on a High CHI.

Dubuque, July PIE. c. Peters, a
student, was found lying unconscious
III a pool of blood at the foot of the
high bluff at Gordon's Ferry. Blood
flowed from an ugly wound in the
head. He was removed to his home
and the injury was dressed by local
surgeon, who found that the skull
had been fractured. The chances for
the patients recovery are against
him and the injury may prove fatal.
Peters is, of course, unable to tell
how it happened and only conjecture
can he INDUCED in. 1t is probable
that he tumbled off the cliff, which is
almost perpendicular, down couple
OF hundred feet, and that he alighted
on his head. Neither is it known how
long he had lain there before he was
found
