Scarcity of Water In Northeastern Missouri
Said to Be Working Great Hardships

strong, prominent stockman of Mis-
souri,, arrived in St. Paul and con-
ferred with the general freight de-
partment of the Omaha railway with
a view of arranging for the shipment
Of trainloads of stock from his country
to the grass district of northern Wis
consin. He told some pitiful tales of
the conditions in his neighborhood,
where, he said, water is so scarce as
to command a high price. He related
one instance where farmer owning
125 head of cattle paid a neighbor,
who was fortunate enough to have a
pond, $40 for watering his stock once.
Other farmers, he said, are cutting
down trees that their stock may eat
the leaves.
The stock raisers find it cheaper to
ship the cattle to northern Wiscon-
sin, where thousands of acres of clover
and timothy grass land is going to
waste and where water is very album
dant.

Des Moines, Ia, July 22.-''What

Carl E. Seashore, of the University

tects and records the mental traits
of people. Prof. Seashore thus de-
scribes it: II have in this machine
an instrument that will be of great
value in aiding employers in testing
the capacity of those who apply for
work. L can tell what scholar is the
brightest, what pupil is the earnest
plodder, what one is quick, but unre-
liable. In short the psychergograph
will test the power of the individual
and compare the capacity of many
persons to do certain kinds of work
specified, to associate ideas, to de-
velop mental working power with
age and to perform many other men

INSANE FROM FEAR.
Life of John Nolan, a Young Man at Os-
ceOla, Mo-, Ruined by a Foolish
Idea of HumOr.

Osceola, Mo-, July ia week ago
John Nolan was one of the finest
specimens of physical manhood in Os-
ceola. To-day he is a total mental
and physical wreck, to whom death
would be relief. And all on account
of practical joke. Nolan came from
Dallas county and secured work. He
was very superstitious, and among
his beliefs was a firm conviction that
spirits returned to this earth to plague
those who had tormented them or
against whom, in life, they had enter
tanned a grudge. This became known
to the young men who boarded at the
hotel and a few nights ago one of
them borrowed a white dress from a
woman friend. Toward the hour of
midnight Nolan was awakened by a
white figure standing over his bed.
He slowly arose upon his elbow, and
his hair began to stand on end. Just
then the sepulchral voice of the
ghost informed Nolan that his time
had come. This was too much for
his nerves, and, with a shrek that
could be heard half a block, he
sprang from the bed and fell fainting
to the floor. Lights were procured
and the unfortunate man partially
revived, but reason had fled, and since
then he has gone from fit to fit.

RESULT OF A FAKE STORY.
Newspaper Correspondents Home Wrecked
by Dynamite Because He Was Suspected
of Sending Out q Yarn.

Albany, Mo-, July 2O.-The home of
Hillman, newspaper correspondent,
was wrecked by dynamite Thursday
night. Hillman is charged with be-
ing the correspondent who wrote the
story telling of a frog that ate dyna-
mite, exploded, and killed or serious
" injured the three children of Geo.
AIcCurry. The trouble with the story
was that McCurry was single, had no
children, dynamite or frog. Some
friends of McCurry's decided to hoist
Hillman by his own petard. Thurs
day night a quantity of dynamite
was placed under the correspondents
house with the intention of giving
the writer a taste of higher journal
ism. HiIlman, however, was away
from home. The explosion lifted the
roof off the house and tore great
gaps in the walls. Hillman denies he
wrote the frog story and has ap-
pealed to the police to find the men
who wrecked his house.
