DR.. L. w. Thomas, a prominent citi-

Thomas was given a hearing before the

The case of DR.. Thomas is extremely
unfortunate. His mind has been af-

feared he would do some one violence.
They attribute his present condition
to the use of morphine. DIR. Thomas
for fifteen years has enjoyed an ex-

made matter of record. The stlpula-
ton provides that Mr.. Pierce shall pay
to the city the sum of $3.50 in cash and
the city shall take the remaining por.l
ton of the wood uhsold. The value of
this wood is estimated at from So to
$IOO. In consideration, of this agreement
Mr.. Pierce valves all defense to the ac-
ton brought by the city and agrees that
judgment for 5000 may be entered
against him If the agreement is not
carried out on his part. He is given un-
til the first day OF the November term
of the district court in which to pay the
$3.50, and agrees to pay the costs in the
court action. On the part of the city it
is agreed to dismiss the present suit at
the November term of court in case the
money is paid.
The trial was set for this week. The
settlement on the basis agreed to is
probably the best and least expensive
for all concerned. The amount Of the

The reason Postum builds up the
human body to a prime condition of
health, is that when coffee Ii left off.

MIRAGE SURPRISES.
wonderful 1llusions That vaniah
From Sight Like n Shooting Star
and Some Others That LingeS Until
the Going Down of the SUN.

As the mirage is so infrequent in the
populous part ofsour country and as so
little is said about it, it is probable that
the majority Of Americans know it only
by name, though they may have read de-
scriptions Of the mirage Of the Sahara
desert or the Fata Morgana of Sicily and
southern Italy. Occasionally it may be
seen across Lake Ontario, and New York
state may look upon Canadian town
pictured upon the sky. This happens but
once in many years.
But the mirage of the southwest be-
comes friend, sort Of travelling COM
panion. AS the traveller passes through
Arizona on the train he sees the lakes
coming and going all the time and won
,iers il 1t is not mistake to call 1t a
desert. Occasionally he will be aston
ished to see wild animals come so near
the train, but when he sees some great
beasts, lnrger thnn the elephant, he be-
gins to ask questions and is likely to feel
skeptical when told that 1t is all fancy
and due to the mirage. Our party was
growing SO used to phantoins that we
were confident we could not be mistaken
again. Nevertheless we were.
We had left the MoQui reservation and
were travelling toward the Chitiquo river
when we beheld city chiseled out Of
marble, with cathedrals and towers, with
pillars capped with Grecian gods and
Christian saints. with streets of marble
and river winding its way through the
city. We believed it real city and
thought it was built of marble because it
was SO plentiful here. 1t was city of
splendor. but a child Of the sun, which
gave life and beauty TO the sand barren
desert, and, 10, when we look again the
magic city, with its wonderful towers and
pillars and river, has vanished like n

Along the Colorado river the mirage is
frequent. Sometimes the objects IRE re-
vcrsed and appear to be upside down,
sometimes vcrtical-that is. standing one
above the other. The scientists say that
these mirngcs IRE caused by the heating
Of the sand, the atmosphere being OF
much higher temperature near the sur
face. where It expands rapidly, but leaves
the greater volume OF air above dense;

Court Martial Is Ordered and q

William S. Jourdan the Man Who

Anarchy and treason do not go at the
Iowa Soldiers Home and as the result of
an expression of qualification because Of
the shooting Of President Mckinley Vet
eran William S. Jourdan has been given
a dishonorable discharge from tie IN
stitution, after trial by court martial.
When the news of the murderous as
sault on the president was received at
the Soldiers Home last Friday evening
Jourdan was heard to express his joy
over the deed of Czolgosz, and also the
hope that all the members OF; the presi-
dents cabinet would meet a like fate.
The attitude of Jourdan among this pa
triotic body of men caused Intense In
dignation. That there was one among
their number who, while accepting the
bounties of the state and government.
couldd hold views antagonistic to that
government and the chief executive of
the same was almost beyond the under
standing Of the veterans who, regard
less of political beliefs, are intensely pa
triotic.
Commandant c. c. Horton was in at
tendance at the reunion of the Second
Iowa Cavalry at Clear Lake at the time,
but on his return the matter was
brought to his attention. with the re-
quest that something be done to punish
j urban, provided 1T Could be clearly
proven that he gave utterance to the
remarks reported. A court martial was
ordered, and this was held Tuesday af-
ternoon. The court was organized from
among nom commissioned officers at the
Home and was conducted as all military
courts are.
The specific charge lodged against
Jourdan by the court was con-
duct unbecoming soldier, and
he was given an opportunity
to defend himself. When he APP
peared before the court, however he
plead guilty to the charge. The YER
dict of the court was a recommendation
that he be dishonorably discharged
from the institution, and Commandant
Horton at once carried out the findings
of the court.
Jourdan has been a member II the

and lasted but seven months. He was
