PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
How n Man Who Had Been Arrested
Took Hint.

A travelling man namei Brown so
named for the purpose OF this tory-1nd
representing an Omaha wholesale ECuor
house, was arrested in an eastern Iowa
town few days ago fot violating the
prohibition law. He was terribly worked
up over it, because K was his first trip
out and visions of disch;rse IL" ,;ed be-
fore his eyes After walking a beck or
two with the travelling mar, the city mar
shall said:
The mayor is not in town today, but
will be tomorrow. 80 you'll haze 10 give
bond for your appearance le-ore hiic at
10 o'clock. We amt got no jail here"
The travelling man 20 ! the marshal that
he was entire stranger and coCIc not

said the marshal suppose H2u iCct de-
post SO with me-
The frightened travelling man put up a
ten-spot and the marshal disappeared
The travelling man loafed around town
the rest of the afternoon, ate supper at
his hotel and spent the early part of the
evening in the hotel office reading a news
paper About 1879 the marshal dropped
into the Office and almost threw a fit
when he saw the travelling man there
Great GOSHEN" exclaimed the marshal,
Il thought you went out on the $40
train
Il am under bond to appear before the
mayor at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, >"
said the travelling man,
We'll. of all the dod-blamed innocents

train out At 7:i0 in the morning"
The travelling man took the hint, also
the ,rTit:' train 1t suddenly dawned upon
him that the city marshal was only eking
out a meagre salary.

Another grievahte IS the liabflity-in
these days of banks with remote
branches-to be renewed from one part
Of England to another at a days. even
minutes notice. Seeing that no al
lo~ance is made for removal expenses,
it is a distinct hardship for a married
man. Yet another grievance is the dis
missal of a clerk after twenty years
service for lack 1of,ability." 1t is con-
tended that lack of ability should have
been discovered many years before the
twentieth of service, In most banks
after such service. a clerk becomes en-
titled to draw a small pension if inca
pacitated by i'll health, and it is some
times asked if this may not have some
thing to do with it.
Shortness of holidays-a fortnight a
year for twenty years. and after that
time three weeks and no more-is an
other grievance. On the other hand, a
further complaint arises from long
hours At large branches and the head
offices the hours usually and unneces-
sarily extend from 9 a. m. to ! p. m,
and it should be remembered that the
work, which is carried on at high
pressure, under a strong sense of re-
sponsibility. is one form of work-the
very arduous form of headwork-all the
while.-London Mail

closed, as were the lighter wooden blinds
of the interior. Not one ray of light pene-
trated anywhere. No man could see his
neighbor link of the human chain. When
the front parlor was reached the two Off
GERS by Encouragement took the front
left-hand corner of the room. The two
reporters who afterward changed their
scene of action to Chicago took the front
corner directly opposite. while the big
scribe, who had been taken in at the elev-
enth hour. stole into a niche in the rear.
For one hour there was a breathless
waiting. The gloom of the place was
awful. and the silence had deathlike OPP
pressiveness. The ghost had appeared, ac-
cording to the story, at the windows of
the room directly overhead, and in that
dismal gruesome hour the ears of that
IL the truth be told. fear-haunted party
were strained TO catch some faint failing
footsteps. Another half hour of vitality
depressing silence. and the whole cham
Der TO at least one mtGd was becoming
horror-haunted from the suspense and the
blacknesS of the place.
Suddenly there came a sound-a sort of
q half-gurgling gasp. Then there fol-
lowed cry that had all the despair in
ii of the wall of a soul that knows hell
awaits. Following instantly came a sweep
ing noise like the swishing of the tail of
a woman's silk garment. Then another
gasp, and then crashing fall The hor-
ror. whatever 1t was, was in the room
grew weak, trembling and incapable of
action The horror of ii all was in his
heart, and had paralyzed every faculty
save that which made him conscious of an
awful fear.
The silence succeeding that cry of the
night was broken The two policemen
tore open the shutters, threw up the win
dow, and kicked out the heavy blinds. and
jumped through the window sheer ten
feet to the ground. One reporter, the
companion of him who had gone all a.
trembling, kept his nerve. He drew
matches. and, punching them, scratched
hon all at he Iiub rur III nd
in The farther corner was seen the body of
the giant reporter lying prone upon the
floor. The inky darkness. the suspense
and the strain of silence had thrown him
into a fit. 1t was his gasping for breath
as the stroke came on, it was the brush
ing of his body against the wall, it was
the impact of his great bulk with the floor,
that had given four men an experience
which certainly had in its compass as
much of dread as that which would come
to a man who might meet a real ghost
face to face.
He was a practical joker.

THE HUMBLE coRNcoB PIPE.
Originated in Missouri and Used the
World Over.
(lroln the Kansas City Journal. }

! NfFotl lle hatlSlS tlly JOuF1al4J
| Soldiers and sailors the world over and
| strangers in many strange lands have
| heard OF Missouri only through one me-
dinm, which is the Missouri meerschaum
| pipe.
Down in Union county is the little town
| Of Washington on the Missouri River
| about fifty-five miles west of St. Louis.
! 1t is the centre of a rather unusual branch
! of commercial activity which is the man
ufacture of cob pipes, or, as they are
better known abroad, Missouri meer-
schaums.
! twenty-five years ago II. Tibbe, a wood
turner in the little town of Washington,
made the first cob pipe ever sold as an
article of commerce. Two years or so ago
he died rich man. From the first lot Of
pipes sold at the corner grocery in the
town the manufacture has Increased until
today the house of IL. Ttbbe * Son Man
! ufacturing Company, turns out 10000
gross. or the enormous individual number
OF f,2SDOoO cob pipes yearly. They go TO
nearly every port and country on earth
and 100 people are employed in their man
ufacture.
w. j. Kork, former Kansas Cityan,
and member of the firm, was at the
Coates House yesterday, and was dicuss-
ing the peculiar quality of cob necessary
to make a marketable pipe. He said:
The 'meerschaum cob is only raised in
the Missouri River bottoms and within
radius of thirty miles around Washing
ton. The corn on this cob Is not unusual,
being about the same as any other seed
Iowa, but it is an extremely solid cob, as
hard as oak
''lmitators have taken the seed and at
tempted to raise this corn in various parts
Of the United States, but have always
failed to mature the cobs properly.
Washington is the centre of an agri-
cultural paradise. The farmers can be
seen driving into the little town every
day in the week-some of them with reg
ular misunderstanding their cobs TO
market. And they get more for the cobs
than they DO for the corn on them. The
average price for eebs ranges from l to 2
cents "A pound. IL tit
Some of these farmers have annual in
comes of $1,000 derived from corn pro-
ducts alone They are mostly Germans,
and, as an example OF their prosperity,
more Government and municipal bonds
are held at premium in Union county
than any agricultural locality in the
world. one bank--the Bank of Washing
ton--is the second largest purchaser of
bonds in the State,
After cobs are brought In from the
three years before they are ready to be
piped. ne g
Mr.. Kirk said that farming land around
Washington ranges from $50 TO 800 an
acre. NJ. l.. Weinick. who is at the head
of this distinctly Missouri business, is
also a former resident of Kansas City,
The display OF Missouri cob pipes at the
attention, and has fostered, the growth of
the business considerably.
Mr.. Kirk says the South African trade
has fallen off very much since the Boer
war began, but that 1t is increasing on
the continent of Europe and in the Orient.
A large shipment was made to the Phil
ippines last week.

VISITING a "HAUNTEDv HOUSE.
Experience of Two Boston Police
me,4 and n Newspaper Trio.
Frorn the Chicago Record-Herald.)

There are two Chicago newspaper men
who can tell all Interested people how a
man feels when he comes in touch with
the supernatural They were once in a
position when in the mind of neither was
there room for the slightest doubt that a
visitor from the neither world was their
close companion. If either had been asked
an hour before the visitation II he were
a believer in manifestations he would
have snapped his fingers at the idea, as
he thoroughly thought he would have
hours time they both felt different, and
possibly the uncanny tale Is worth the
telling.
The two Chicago newspaper men were
at one time working for rival Boston
dailies. They met at noon one day at
police station 10 at the fremont crossing
Two citizens entered and told the lieu
tenant that a house on Pynchon Street
was haunted. Every night as II o'clock
approached Il ghostly figure carrying
blue light passed slowly by the windows
of the second story. then repassed and
disappeared. The house had been vacant,
they said, for two months. The lieuten-
ant knew the standing of the citizens and
their story impressed him. He said he
would send a sergeant and patrolman
to the haunted house at O'Clock that
evening; he would have them secret
themselves on the premises until the
ghost walked, and then, he declared:
in the patrol wagon" While the story of
the ghostly visitation was being told
third reporter entered the station He
was d big fellow, almost a giant in size,
and was connected with an afternoon
paper. The three reporters secured per-
mission to go to the house that night
with the officers.
Darkness had settled down when five
men stole under the shadow of the trees

key had been supplied by the agent of
the place. The door was opened and the
five visitors removed their shoes, and.
feeling their way. stole softly upstairs to
the great front parlOr. In making the
journey they clasped hands and formed
chain, following a leader who had studied
