FINDS BOOK OF MORMON.
Illinois Farmer Makes the Claim Tha
He Dug Up the Original
Manuscript.

Interest has been created at Carbon
dale, ILL.,, over discovery made by
Marshal Penrod, who lives on farm
near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed black oak stump out of po-
tato field close to his residence and
found stone about, a foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled a
pocketbook, attracted his attention,
and, upon close examination, he found
carved on its face in the English Ian
guage the following words: "This
stone contains the original manuscript
of Moroni (Mormon) Joseph Smith"
The ravages of time had apparently
made but little Roadway on the stone
and upon closer examination he found
the stone was hollow and hole drilled
entirely through it and at both ends
red cedar plugs had been driven in
Upon removing one of the plugs several
sheets of parchment were found con-
tanning writing in hieroglyphics that
could not be deciphered.

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mishaps on n British Battleship Tina
Caused Fear Among
the Crew

While the British battleship Thun-
derer was off Milford Haven, Wales.
not long ago curious accident to
one of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew. A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechloading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only portion OF
the projectile was discharged, the
base plate Of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was removed the pres.
sure of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fred hole
about three inches in diameter was
blown through the projectile, the
other part Of the base plate being left
behind. The base plate was in this
case separated from the rest of the
projectile.
Such accidents are believed never
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for time
feared. 1t is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
damp OF there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns are
sound.

ARRESTS AT PARIS FAIR.
Police Report Also Tells of Strange
Articles Found in the Grounds
OF the Exposition.

The exposition police report, just
out, shows total of 1907 arrests
on the fair grounds. The causes are
thus divided, says the Chicago Trib-
une:
Murder, A; murderous assaults, 49,;
crimes against morals, 1862; minor as
saults, 1872; defacing property, 401;
theft, 4,6o3.
Strangers arrested were 1889. Oh
these A were Americans, which was
less than any other nation, except
Denmark and Polynesia, which had
one each. The total number of arti
Giles found and turned over to the
police was 66,317, including satchel
containing $45,700 in American money
which never was claimed; more than
5000 umbrellas, one set of false teeth
24s single garters, 20 corsets wrapped
in newspapers or otherwise, three bur
glars kits, five crosses of the Legion
of Honor, IA foreign decorations, one
pair of lady's russell slippers, only
slightly used, and many other queer
articles.

what may be claimed before May
1, will be sold at auction for the bene.

WILL LAST TWENTY YEARS
Durability of a New Kind of Cloth to
BE Manufactured by Mills
in England.

If the plans of certain English CAPT.
talists do not miscarry it will be
possible ere long for the economical
parent to purchase suit of clothes
which may be passed along among his
sons for the fifth of century, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Mills are now
being built in England for the manu-
facture of this kind of long-wearing
material, which can be turned out
in almost any color wanted. Think
of getting a suit of clothes that will
last for 20 years; that will cost only
a third more than suit costs now,
and that will be absolutely water
proof without appearing to be so.
Revolutionize is rather an overworked
word, but 1T fits this case exactly.
Instead of singing: "Papa's pants
will soon fit Johnnie" the refrain will
run: Johnnie soon will wear pas
pants" for when pa once begins to
wear these extremely useful articles
before Johnnie has got out of dresses
he may continue to wear them for the
next 20 years, and by that time John
ME will have grown up to them. The
same with little Mary and her moth
er's skirts. Instead of cutting down
the garments for the girl the moth
er will wear them for generation or
so and then turn them over to her
daughter.

FOUND IN AN OLD STUMp.
original Manuscript OF the Book oi
Mormon Is Discovered In
Illinois.

Considerable excitement has been
created recently in southern Illinois
over discovery made by Marshal PEN
rod, who lives on farm close to the
village of Dongola, in Union county,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Penrod
in digging black stump out of po-
tato field, close to his residence, found
astone which was about foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
pocketbook, attracted his attention.,
and upon close examination he found
carved on its face in English the fol-
lowing words: This stone contains
the original manuscript of the book Of
the Mormon. Joseph Smith"
The ravages Of time had apparently
made little Roadway on the stone, and
upon close examination he found the
stone was hollow. A hole had been
drilled entirely through it, and at both
ends red cedar plugs had been driven.
Upon removing one of the plugs, sever
al sheets of paper, containing writing
in hieroglyphics that could not be de-
ciphered, were found. The characters
are peculiar, following no known line
of ancient writing.
At the bottom OF the last page was
found written in English: THE finder
of this manuscript will deliver the
same to the elders of the Mormon
church." The stone still remains with
Mr.. Penrod, and already communica-
tion has been made with the Salt Lake
church, giving the incidents of the find.
1t is thought the Mormon church will
take steps at once to secure the stone
and also the manuscript,

VERY OLD CHECK CAsHED.

Ago, hut Was Good for

In the year 1879 c. w. Merchant, OF

weston (Tex.) News. In those days Fort
Worth was the headquarters for bank
ing business, and Mr.. Merchant, in COM
mon with all cowmen, had his money
on deposit in one of the banks there.
While in Haskell county that year he
purchased five head of beef cattle from
Mr.. Mobley and gave his check for
500. On account of the distance from
Fort Worth and the inconvenient IA
cilities for transacting such matters,
Mr.. Mobley did not present the check
for payment until six months after its
date. When presented the cashier in
formed the gentleman that Mr.. Mer-
chant had long since closed his account
with the bank. Nothing further was
ever done to collect the check, until
recently both gentlemen met in the
town of Haskell, just p years later,
and began talking of "old times"
Mr.. Mobley suggested to Mr.. Mer-
chant that he held an unpaid check
signed by him and dated 1870, and
wanted to know if it was still worth
| 100 cents on the dollar. He was in
formed that it was, and on inquiry as
to how it came into his possession ex-
plantations followed and Mr.. Mobley got
his 500.
In speaking of the incident to the
News correspondent Mr.. Merchant said
that in 1879 he purchased something
like 100000 worth of cattle, and most
of them in small herds, and that, with

plans to me further, and they were
certainly magnanimous, / said: "Doc-

ciate your kindness, and / will gladly

close the agreement / want to give you

house will necessarily throw me much
into contact with your daughter, and

For once in his life the doctor was
nonplused, but after few moments
thought he took my hand and said: II

have always put Off as an evil the
thought of some day having to give up

l thought how very seldom the young
men of to-day take into account the
feelings of the fathers whose homes
they deprive Of their brightest light

aching void.
My answer to him was commonplace,

NAMES CANNING INDUSTRY
One Hundred and Seventy-Five Fac.
tories That Pay $1,40O,OOO a
Year in Wages.

According to the report of Hon.
s. w. Mathews, state industrial and
labor commissioner, the Pine Tree
state is the champion saroine canning
community OF the country and is third
on the list of states that can sweet
corn. In fact, Maine is the only
state engaged in the industry of put
ting up small herring and other suit
able fish as sardines. There are about
IT'S canning factories within its bor-
ders, the value of which is about
$1,214,9o0, and give employment to
$4,000 operatives. The amount OF
wages paid in 1899 was about $1,4o0,-
600; to the farmers for corn, 1891 900,
and the value of the entire output
of all the factories was $4,000 dur
ing the year, quotes the New York
Sun.
Over 1000 acres, were planted to
sweet corn in 1899. The canning OF
clans, blueberries, apples, beans
squash, pumpkin and small fruits
seems to be on the increase, accord.
ing to Mr.. Mathews report, and he
does not see any good reason why
the industry should not increase
largely in the packing of these arti
cles. He also says that it appears tc
be generally conceded that the corn
apples and berries of Maine are su.
perior in quality to tie same products
in other states, owing, doubtless, tt
climatic conditions. In every kind O.
canning men, women and children are
paid remunerative wages, and the
canning factories give to many poor
families their only opportunity for
earning money.

MISTAKEN FOR "JoHN L."
An Amusing Anecdote Regarding
the Lnte Sir Arthur
Sullivan.

Among the many anecdotes of the
late Sir Arthur Sullivan which have
been travelling through two hemi-
spheres since the death of the eminent
composer, the following, as told in Sir
Arthur's own words, is by no means
the worst, says The Brooklyn Eagle:
II was travelling on stage in a
rather wild part Of California, and ar
rived at a mining camp, where we had
to get down for eshments. AS we
drove up the driver said: They are
expecting you, Mr.. Sullivan was
much pleased, and when / reached the
place found knot of prominent citi-
zens at the whisky store. The fore
most of them came up to big burly
man by my side and said: Are you Mr..
Sullivan? The man said NO. and
pointed to me. The citizen looked at
me rather contemptuously, and after
awhile said: why, how much do you
weigh?'
Il thought this was curious method
of testing the power of a composer, but
/ at once answered: About 1862
pounds. WELL said the man, that's
odd to me, anyhow. Do you mean to
say that you gave fits to John S. Black
more down in Kansas City?' I said:
NO; did not give him fits He then
said: Well. who are your Ireplied:

all title to that, and told him was Ar
