A Pooh-Bah in Missouri.

LFrom the Omaha World Herald
Judge Beasley has been a justice of the
peace in a. northwest Missouri township
for so many years that the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary. A few
years ago Beasley was personally inter-
ested in a lawsuit, being a party thereto.
1t was necessary for him to make an
affidavit, and he deprecated the idea of
making it before another justice or a
notary and depriving himself of fee.
So he filled out his affidavit, swore to
it before himself signed it as justice and
witness and awaited developments. He
sure that he would win. and thus be able
to tax the costs up to the other side.
When the case came up before Judge
Kelley the affidavit was offered in evil
denee and promptly objected to, the rea-
son being given that a justice could not
Let me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley.
It was handed up to the judge. who
scanned it carefully for a few moments,
and then asked:
Mr.. Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself when
you swore yourself and identified your
own signature?"
That was very easy, your honor" re-
piled Beasley. I borrowed a looking
glass and went through the formalities
before it"
Beasley was somewhat astonished when
Judge Kelley sustained the objection.

new $4,000 ELEVATOR
Forbes Bros. Have Frame Work
of the Structure Up.

The frame work of the combined mill
and elevator, which is being erected by
Forbes Brothers at the site of the old
Henry Strong lumber yard adjoining
the Union Pacific tracks in North To-
peka is practically complete, and the
work for enclosing the building will be
commenced this week. Both the mill

The completion of the new building

mill and elevator enterprise of North
Topeka The Forbes Brothers have been
operating a mill and elevator on the
North side for a number of years, but
their present capacity for business is
small compared to what it will be in
their new quarters. The entire ma

moved to the new building, and five
times as much more purchased for its
equipment. 1t is estimated that the
combined mill and elevator, equipped
and complete. will cost s22, 900.
The elevator will have a capacity of
10000 bushels, and will be fitted espe-
cially for the quick transfer of grain.
The capacity of the mill will be 800 bar
relS of cereal product per day, and the
power will be furnished by 14x42 Cor

ELECTED THE PRIEST.

Montreal (Can) Cor Phila. North
Americana
An incident which has so medieval
a flavor that it could only have hap
pened in French Canada has created
considerable stir here. An entire com
munity has been compelled to do pen
ance for a breach of order committed
in the church.
The church is that of lie st. Ignace,
a, little place on the border of the St
Lawrence river, situated about 40 miles
from here between Berthier and Sorel
There had been disSension among the
Pensioners over the election of a GER
tain church warden. The matter had
even been dragged into the courts, but
the courts refused to have anything to
do with it. Finally it was decided to
have the question amicably settled at
a family gathering to be held last Sun
day afternoon in the church after high
mass. The priest presided, but the dis
cussiOn grew 50 warm that the men
came to blows, and a few drops of
blood were actually shed.
Nor was this all, for in the heat of
the argument one of the opposing fac
lions put the priest out of the church.
and the latter Immediately took a
sleigh and drove to Berthier, from
which place he refused to bulge. This
put the congregation in a. fix. Not Only
did the cure refuse to return, but lie
announced positively that it would be
impossible to hold any future services
in the church till it had been thor
oughly and spiritually cleansed.
The parishioners, beginning to rea-
lie what had happened, went humbly
to the archbishop here, and, casting
themselves upon his mercy, asked to
be helped out of the plight. The arch
bishop gave them a severe lecture, and
told them that the only thing he could
do would be to cleanse the church and
reconSecrate it again.
The pariShiOnerS have promised Arch
bishop Bruchesi to go and ask pardon
of their priest at Berthier and to
bring him back again.

Sauerkraut-

Sauerkraut is not found among the
remedies of medical men as a rule, but
there is a physician in Norristown who
prescribes it, with excellent results. He
claims that the fermentation of the
sauerkraut, which is the same fermen-
tatiOn as that which takes place in
wine, gives just such strengl and
tonic qualities to this juicy food as
wine has, only, whereas the tonic eff
feet of wine is but temporary, that of
sauerkraut-a solid substance that is
digested by the system-is permanent.
He gives these instances: A young wo-
man lay dying of tuberculosis in Allan
tic City. The physician, being summons
ed in consultation brought her to Nor
ristown, the home of sauerkraut and
fed her nothing else for two months
She gained in that time 40 pounds

were brought to Norristown in a hos
pital car, and the doctor, with his won
derful remedy, had them up and about
two weeks after their arrival. Sauer-
kraut, this physicians patients began
to think, is such valuable stuff that
some day it will be sold in pretty little
vials-a dollar vial-by the druggists

In view of the rather frantic display
of eccentricity INDUCED in by Vladimir

pianist, while in this city last Thurs
day, the following dispatch from Chi
cago is interesting:

to satisfy the whims of the artist. Mr..
DePachmann, having lived many years
in the climate of Russia. is accustomed
to sleep in {. cold room. After he had
been assigned to apartments on the
fourth floor he came rushing to Clerk
Kennedy, and, waving his hands above
his head, exclaimed: It's too hot up
there. l am almost choking. l have
opened all the windows, and it is still
so degrees, and even that is too warm"
oh, I can remedy that" replied the
clerk. Just return to your room, and
will make it all right"
The musician obeyed, and a few min
utes later four pals of ice were borne
to his apartments.
"Oh that is fne-fne!' exclaimed
DePachmann. Il will sleep noW-sleep
like an angel"
The pianist declared he had much
trouble While travelling in the United
States, because the railway coaches
were heated. q always have a drawing
room, he said, and though l keep
the windows open I cannot stay cool.

Buffalo, n. ", May 3.-The striking

will resume work in body, tomorrow
morning. This was agreed to at a

The other roads did not adjust the diff

but amicable negotiations are pending
and may be concluded, tomorrow.
There are no positive developments in
the strike of the railway freight hand

At the East Buffalo meeting, tonight,
it was stated that in the agreement
reached with Supt. Watt it had been
thoroughly understood that the Cen
trail men who returned to work should
not be asked to repair cars for any of
the roads on which the strike still eX-
listed. This removed any objection to
the resumption of work by the Cen
trail men. Attempts were made, today,
to settle the car repairerS strikes on
the other lines, but they were not sue
cessful.

tors of this city. since March 1, may

latest proposal of the manufacturers
namely. that hours shall constitute
4 days work with a minimum wage Of
% cents per hour, the existing piece
bill Of prices to be advanced IA per
cent, the same to hold good for five
years.
The cutters, by small majority, ac-
cepted the above with slight modifi-
cation as to the length of time the set
tlement shall last. Their desire is to
test the proposition uninterruptedly for
three years, and at the end of that
time, if any differences arise, they are
to continue work pending arbitration.
and at the end of this to submit to the
ruling of the arbitrator. This action
practically insurcs uninterrupted work
for five years, which is greatly to the
liking of both men and manufacturers.
All that now remains is to settle the
details and affiX signatures to the
bond. This will take place, tomorrow
night, at a joint session of the con-
