AN ACT OF PROVIDENCE.
The Remarkable Problem That Has
Come Before Congress for Set
Element,

A claim has been put in congress
and referred to a senate committee
which has already been the subject of
some very interesting decisions in re-
gard to the true nature of an "act of
Providence" reports the Washington
Star. The claim is for the loss or dam.
age of two trunks belonging to an
army surgeon on the occasion of the
great storm at Galveston, Tex, Sep
TENDER s, 1900. The chief quartermas-
ter at San Antonio refused to order a
board of survey on the case, as he said
the storm was an act of Providence,
for which the carrier could not be held
responsible. The claimant took excep-
tion to this statement.
sit is an article of faith" he said,
"with all good Christians, that the
ways of Providence are inscrutable
and past finding OUT
"This last proposition being accept
ted as fact by all Christians, l have
the honor 20 maintain that II the
storm of September s, 1900, had been
an act of Providence it could not have
been foretold by man, whereas, as a
matter of fact, it was predicted by the
United States weather bureau, and the
people of Galveston were warned of
the approach and its expected visi-
lance"
In order to more firmly establish his
claim that the storm at Galveston was
not an act of Providence, the claimant
has submitted the full report of the
weather bureau descriptive of the ca
tastrophe.

ADOPT AMNESTY BILL.
Cuban Senators Put Through the
Measure to Set Americans
mt Liberty.

Havana, June 9.-The senate
passed the bill granting full amnesty
to all American citizens under sem
tence in Cuba or against whom pro-
ceedings are pending. AS the house
has already passed the bill, nothing
but few formalities stand between
c. F. W. Nicely and Estes G. Rathbone
and freedom. Rathbone says he APP
preciates the sentiments of the Gu
bans but what he wanted was a new
and fair trial. If he cannot obtain q
trial in the United States he will in
sist that congress investigate his ac-
tions in Cuba. A proposal to make
the bill applicable to Cubans who had
fought in the war was rejected on
the ground that this was not within
the sphere of the legislature. 1t was
decided, however, to recommend that
the president pardon all offenders of
this class.

tray cloths, tea coverings and cush-
ions, and ever so many other arti-
cles. They show that he possesses
high degree of skill and delicate
appreciation of the artistic in de-
sign and color effects.
But when NJ. Santos really wants

ship he knits, clicking the flying nee
dies in true German fashion and
scarcely ever glancing at them.
His apartments are in keeping
with his home occupations. The
drawing room is paneled in white
and gold. No one would dream of
using the delicate chairs with their
dainty brocade coverings, and it is
difficult to escape the many tables
laden with bric-a-brac.
In the bedroom the walls are COW
cred with pale blue silk, over which
white dotted net is draped. The
curtains of the window and of the
canopied bed are held back with
huge bows of blue satin ribbon.

A BALKY BOX CAR.
Agrivating Troubles of the Iowa
Central Railroad.

The Iowa Central, which has been
congratulating itself that with all the
rain along its lines it has escaped
washouts, ran up against an alligator
last night. While no damage was
done to property and no one was
even scratched the roads troubles
were too many to tell to policeman,
A box car on north bound freight
was derailed just north of the Skunk
river bridge about midnight and
settled down lengthwise across the
track. OF course to be contrary the
car went off where the grading work
is being done, and where the mud
was the softest and stickiest to be
found on the whole line.
The wreck train and large crew
of men were dispatched to the scene
of trouble, but the car proved to be
an elephant on their hands. Until
the place was planked about the only
thing the men could do was 10 take
turns pulling each other out of the
mire. Finally after nearly eight
hours of cold work the beast was
landed and the track cleared for
traffic.
The delay caused trains to pile up
at this station, and the yards were
almost full of cars. Five passenger
trains, six freight trains, and two
work trains were belated here, and
the busy scenes consequent, gave the
local station the appearance of the
grand central depot of st. Louis. II
was nine O'Clock before the trains
began to move, and since that time
no rust has grown on the rails in tits

CLASS RECEPTION.
Graduates are Royalty Entertained by
the Juniors.

The annual Junior Senior reception
given by the o. H. S. students was
held Friday evening at the home of
Miss Eva Kemb,e, 1906 @ Ave. east.
The house was decorated with the
stars and stripes, red, white and
blue streamers, flags, and class col
ors and presented a very attractive
appearance. There were flowers ga
lore and these added greatly to the
general effect.
The bull dog which did duty at the
opera house the night before had
been rescued from headquarters and
hung in most conspicuous place
where he could look down on the en-
tertainment. Schmitt's orchestra
furnished music for the occasion and
gave excellent service during the
evening. Madam Mosier entertained
the company with her palm reading
and fortune telling and very pleas
ant. half hour was spent in this way.
Autograph cards bearing 20. H. s..
'03" were passed and a general
scramble ensued to see who would
get the most names. Most of the
evening was spent on the lawn and
porches, which were decorated with
Japanese lanterns and .colors. A
huge engine headlight had been
placed on the lawn and this lit up
the surrounding country for several
blocks.
Frappe was served, the bowls be-
ing presided over by students from
the lower classes. Light refresh
ments were served later in the even
ing. Several musical numbers were
given and Mrs. Elsie Adler favored
the company with vocal solo which
was highly appreciated and roundiy
encored. 1t was typical B class re-
ception and all the class feeling of
the night before was entirely for
gotten. Everything that could be
thought of to make the Seniors en-
Joy their last evening in the o. FL. 3.
was done, and the evening was spent
as only fret year graduates and COM
ing Seniors could spend it.
