rale Pronounced q Joke.

De7 MOines. Ia. Dec 2S.--A telephone
message from What Cheer this morn
ing declares there is not a. word of
truth in the story that fOrty-nine chill
dren drowned there while skating. 1t
is stated that the story is a joke of
some trainmen, and that they first said
the accident had occurred at Pekay, a
little town near What Cheer.
The righteousness of the story, it is
declared. is apparent from the fact
that there is not a pond big enough in
the town to hold ten persons, let alone
forty-nine.
