WHAT A BELLED RAT DID

IReading, Pa, cor. N. Y Herald1
Never since the days of the Pied Piper
has there been such excitement in the
kingdom of rodents; never has there been
such a wholesale hegira of rats. great and
small; such a general and widespread
wedding out of rats, and all because of a
Misunderstanding sleighbell
The Carpenter steel works, where they
make great projectiles and greater guns
for the use of Uncle Sam, long was over
run with rats. There were thousands of
them. Their boldnesS was unexampled-
They helped themselves to the working
mems dinners, they ransacked their peck
cts, they even chewed their tobacco. They
laughed at traps. They jeered at cats.
Even a nine-inch gun apd a one thousand
pound projectile had no terrors for them
But one morning John Anderson,
workman, caught a lively and overfed
specimen and tied sleighben to its neck.
Then he let it loose. 1t Scampered away
in real alarm. AS it ran the bell tiEkled.
The more the bell tinkled the fast the
rat ran. The faster the rat ran the
louder and livelier the bell tinkled
Finally the rat leaped through a hole in
the floor, while the eternal tinkle still
pursued him.
Here he must have met other rats and
frightened them. for they came rushing
out pell nell. There was a helter-skelter
mob Of them-a wild riotous crew, a fren-
zied caravan. Dashing through the pud-
ding department and nearly plunging into
the furnaces of seething metal they made
for the river
A few of them managed to swim to land
and drag themselves out, but the rest
were drowned. There isn't a rat about
the whole place.

1t Will Be Held at AtchisOn
Sunday at 2 p. M.

John J. Ingalls, lived an agnostic, In
outward pretensions at least. but short
ly before the end came, he repeated af-
ter a devoted wife, the Lords prayer
This was a great effort for the once
great man. because life was ebbing
swiftly, but he finished the solemn words
and yielded to the inevitable.
The end came peacefully. The brilliant
ex-senator passed into sleep and then
to death. Mrs. Ingalls, and a son, Shelf
field, were present, death taking place
in the senator's room at the Montezuma
hotel at Las Vegas Hot Springs.

MR.. RISING LEAVES.
Special Rural Delivery Agent is
Transferred.

Special Agent Rising, who has been
making his headquarters in Topeka
while he has been establishing free ru-
raj delivery routes throughout the state,
has been recalled by the special agent in
charge of the middle division who has
headquarters in Indianapolis. The rea-
son for recalling Mr.. Rising is that
Kansas has been detached from the mid
die division and annexed to the western
division.
Mr.. Rising will probably be assigned
to work in Wisconsin or Minnesota as
that would be nearer his home, Fari-
bault, MINI. Colonel Rising has been in
Kansas for ten weeks and during that
time has esta blished 35 free rural deliv-
cry routes and has under consideration
about 100 more.
1t is not known who will take his place
here, but he has been notified that his
successor will be here Monday at which
time he will turn over all papers rela-
ton to the service.
Denver is the headquarters for the
western division of the rural delivery
service and now that Kansas has been
added to that division an effort will be
made at once to have Topeka designated
as headquarters.

New York Uptown Gossip.

New York, Aug. 17.-"After breakfast

braces a principle of conduct which may
readily explain the hesitation or rather
days stock market There has been OF
late what might be called a fairly, good
speculation on the bull side considering
the apathy of public and the many uncer-
tanties in the situation which might re-
tard aggressive operations Of the bull
traders. 1t is natural there should be
profit taking at the advance and 1t prob
ably seemed time to adopt this course
when pleasing considerations began to in
fiuence some little commission house buy
ing. The recent rapid advance of the all
lies toward PelSin persuaded the street
that a sentimental influence favorable to
the market would soon be furnished by
the rescue of the foreign legations. The
success of the British exchequer loan in
this country. and the relief which 1t inn
medately afforded to the European money
markets also furnished a stimulus to
some new buying. 1t would be simply in
line with usual speculative policies to
take profits on favorable news. and in
some instances profits undoubtedly had
accumulated.

ton of the President.

Popular Bluff, Mo, Aug. 1T hope
God will brand President Mckinley, and
if that be treason, make the most of it,
In this startling manner Mrs. Clara
G. t. u, ended an address here. Mrs
Hoffman's address was sensational on
account of her denunciatiOn of President
Mckinley and the Republican admins
tratiOn. It was as vigorous and fierce
as would characterize the speech of the
HOffman's attack on the president was
due to his action on the canteen meas
ure in the United States army, which
was passed by the late congress and
made a law when it received his sigma
ture. She stated that the evil effects
that the canteen system would produce
were pointed out to the president, both
by petition and personally. The White
House was fairly deluged with petitions
from all over the country, signed by
fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters,
pleading with the president to refrain
from signing the law, but to all the
pleadings he gave a deaf ear.
She charged that he signed the canteen
bill solely to gain the good will of the
brewers and distillers to aid him to be
reelected.
Again, in the case of Alaska, desperate
quor traffic from entering the territory,
but appeals to the president were in
vain. Civilization, she said, was being
introduced in the Philippines by means
of beer, whisky and the bullet. Four
hundred saloons are operated now in
Manila. She characterized the Philip
pine war as unjust, and quoted from a
letter received from a young nurse, pic
turing the drunkenness that prevailed in
the American army, and stating that she
had yet to see an intoxicated Filipino.
She asked, (which needs civilization the

ROOSEyELT's NAME KISSED
Negroes Resent His Criticism of
Colored Soldiers.

Boston, Mass, Aug 17.-Governor
Theodore Roosevelt's name was Kissed
at the meeting of the nOnpartlSan
(negro) conference held in Zion Ameri-
can Methodist Episcopal church in this
city yesterday. Recollections of Roose-
velt'S statement in his Santiago reports
rejecting upon the negro troops pro-
voked the outburst.
In an imprisoned speech the Rev
erned w. NJ. Scott brought on the dem
OnStratiOn.
'Our liberty is at stake" he said in
exhorting the negroes to unite political
ly, land 1 will be careful. They have in
this country rewarded treason and laud-
ed cowardice. They have abused negro

and privileges are fixed by the army
regulations, have to eat in kitchens,
while the white officers eat upstairs.

were towards and that he (2oosevelt)
drove them at the point of a revolver.
(Voices: He liedr"
ASK Touissant L'Ovverteur if the

If I was to form a ticket for this party

judgment, the negroes and the party of
Roosevelt have come to the parting of
the ways.

RATES ARE SMASHED.
Government Business Has De-
mOraIized Freight Agree
ment.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Transcontinenta
freight rates have gone to smash over
government business. It was learned
heer today that the roads have discover
ed that indiscriminate rate cutting has
been done in order to get contracts for
carrying government supplies to San
Francisco, where they are put aboard
transports bound for China or the Phil
ippines.
The greatest rate cutting has been
made in attempts to get the meat ship
ments from Chicago. It was asserted
today that secret rate cutting had
greatly diminished, if not completely OBJ
liberated profits. In railway circles the
danger of the freight war thus started
becoming general among transcontinen-
tai roads is regarded as imminent.
