LIVED ON LOCUST LEGS,
STRANGE STORIES COME FROM
KIMBERLY.
Rhodes Fared SumptuOusIy DUR
ing Seige of the Town. Ma
tiVes Ate Insects.

A New York World cable says;
Significant reticence is observed in all
dispatches, both cable and mail, about
the treatment of natives during the
sieges of Kimberly and Mafeking, but
strange stories are beginning to rcu-
late in society here on that subject.
Rochfote Mcguire, the right-handed
man of Cecil Rhodes, has already
acknowledged &hat during the later
stages of the Kimberly siege the ma
tives were feeding, when possible, on
locusts' legs. Now it is stated that
the first telegram sent from Kimberly
to Cape Town after the siege was
raised was for fresh salmon for Cecil
Rhodes party.
While the natives were starving to
death it is said that Rhodes and his
friends had plenty of food, and had
nightly, fine banquets. Even the Tor
mality of dressing for dinner was not
abandoned, as Labram, engineer OF
the De Beers company, was killed
while in the act of putting on his
evening suit to join dinner party at
Rhodes house a few days before the
close investment.
The Daily News quotes Rochfort
Mcguire as saying that down to the
last of the siege in Kimberly all the
whites had one quarter of a pound Of

MILES OF POSTAGE STAMPS
Annual Output of the 2-Cent Kind Will 10
Twice Around the World.

C. F. Jenkins, in the Scientlhc Am
erlcan, says that during the year 1923
the United States bureau OF pruning
and engraving issued 2,4OO,Ooo OF
the common red two-cent stamps
enough to go almost twice around the
earth.
Stacked one upon another they woulo
pile up $50 miles beyond our a.mos-
phere, equal in weight to two OF our

FAVORABLE REPORT.
Griggs Bill on Postal Rates for Agricultural
Departments.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Judge j.
NJ. Griggs is confident of a favorable
report by the post Office committee on
his bill providing that the publica-
tions of departments of agriculture be
given the benefit of pound rates in the
mails.
1t was found that there was little
chance Of bill extending to COM
missioners of agriculture the ranking
privilege, so Judge Griggs introduced
a bill giving their publications the
benefit Of pound rates.
This win be great boon to TIE de-
partments, largely increasing their
efficiency, and the bill will doubtless
pass.

SERIOUS CUTTING ARRAY
UNKNOWN YOUNG MAN SLABS A
GIRLS FATHER n ESCORT.
He Had Followed the Latter to this
Gate-The Men Both
Badly Hurt.

After escorting Ida wintergust, of leg
North Blackford street, TO and from a
party, Frank De versy. Az Minerva street.
and the girls father, Adam Wintergust,
were stabbed in front of the girls home by
a young man, who had followed the couple
home. The father was stabbed in the
back, the point of the knife striking the
spinal column. De Versy was stabbed in
the left size, the blade Of the knife enter
ing the thoracic cavity. The wound OF
each is dangerous and may result fatally.
DR.. Karchner, who attended them, said
the result could not be told for some time.
Their assaiIant ran across Military Park
and made his escape before the arrival OF
the police, who were then unable TO find
him. He was unknown to the father and
to De Versy, and the girl claims he was
not known to her, but members Of her
family and the police think she knew the
young fellow and now wishes 10 shield
him.
The story of the parties is that De versy
and Miss Wintergust went TO a party. Re-
turning they noticed when near Military
Park some one following. They sat for a
time in the park and their pursuer seated
himself near, again following them as they
went to the young woman's home. There
he took station near them as they talked
at the gate. De Versy objected to the in
terest he displayed in their doings and
asked what he wanted. The supposed un-
known young man said il was no business
OF his questioner's and remained. Adam
Wintergust returned from market about
that time, and upon being told the story
ordered the fellow away. He declined TO
go and Wintergust seized a fence picket
and went out the gate. The young man
drew a knife from his pocket. When asked
by the girl, who IL seems carried on most
of the conversation with him, why he
opened his knife he said, ITO clean my
tnger nails Wintergust went close TO
him and a fight followed, in which Winter
gust was stabbed. De Nersy m
TO assist Wintergust and was also stabbed.
Then amid the excitement the stranger
escaped, despite the large number of neigh
bors who had gathered. When the police
arrived there was some reluctance about
telling the story OF the cutting. and il
was thought by the police the girl knew
the assailant of her father and her escort.
The members Of the family were also con-
WINGED the girl knew. but she could not be
persuaded to tell. The police also Thought
De Nersy knew, as he made the remark.
IF she's game she won't tell IL she docs
know" They could not learn the cause for
this remark.

His Remarks Were Witty and Force.
full and Freely Applauded.

Senator Dolliver proved TO be the wittiest
of the speakers of the campaign in Indian
apolis and his speech was punctuated will
humorous remarks fully appreciated by
his audience. He seemed TO particularly
enjoy poking fun at Mr.. Bryan's preten-
sions as a prophet four years ago. In or
der to show more sharply the contrast be-
tween the conditions existing then and at
present the senator described the great
financial stringeney four years ago and
then continued as follows:

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. 2.-This was an
important day with the Indiana Yearly
Meeting Of Friends, and the action taken
will have a wide influence with the other
yearly meetings of the country. This
morning, without permitting any further
discussion of the subject, the question of
adopting the new constitution and disci-
pine, proposed for all the meetings in the
United States and Canada, came up for
final action, and a standing vote was taken
to decide for or against its adoption. The
vote was about three to one for adoption
and 1t was declared adopted. Indiana is
the fifth to take favorable action on the
new discipline. and when two more have
taken favorable action ii will become effec-
tive among those seven.
Formal decision was made to-day to be-
gin missionary work in Cuba. Two mis-
sions already have been established ut
Havana and Banes, but these were expert
mental. The work has been so successful
that II will be extended. Four mission
aries have been engaged, besides the Rev.
Zenas l.. Martin, of Iowa, head of the
department.
The report of the committee on evangelis-
tic work showed that S2,025.6f has been
raised, exclusive of the amount given by
The Yearly Meeting. Protested conversions
were LOOP. The amount expended in pas
toral work was s1,23S.69. Two meeting
houses were built.
Cyrus w. Hodgson and Hannah l.. Lewis
were elected delegates to the annual meet
ing of the National Anti-saloon League at
Washington.
A collection of $3O5 was taken for the
evangelistic and pastoral work, and Fran
els L. White, of New York. gave 500 to the
same account.
The officers of Earlham College were
before the joint session this afternoon and
the showing made was a highly encourag-
ing one to all interested in that institution.
The books of the treasurer show an in
crease of over 100 per cent. in the available
funds within the last eight years. The
total is now S151. 434. The substance of the
report by President ]. j. Mills has already
been given in the Journal. The total in
debtedness now amounts to about $4,000.
An effort was made TO raise this in the
meeting and nearly $1,000 was subscribed.
Morris NJ. White, the Cincinnati banker,
gave $1,000. A pleasant surprise came when
Mr.. White announced that his brother,
Francis T. White, the wealthy New York
er, has given SIS, 900 more to be added to the
endowment fund OF the college. This
makes $4,000 given by him. Encouraging
reports were also submitted from Spiceland
and Paramount Academies.
