The News is in receipt of the fol
lowing invitation: "Mr. and Mrs
Henry L. Sproles request the honor of
your presence at the marriage of their
daughter, Marion Olive, to Mr.. John
Henry Venable, on Wednesday after
noon, November the nineteenth, at
one o'clock, First Baptist Church,
Vicksburg, Mississippi" The father
of the young lady, Rev. H. FSproles,
is well known in this county, as is al
so Mr.. Venable, who taught school
several sessions at Braxton.
Charles Lawson, of Mt Creek, who
was in Brandon last Thursday, had a
very narrow escape from death that
night. He was the guest of Mayor
| Cole, and about o'clock he left the
room and started down town. The
night was very dark, and after leaving
Mr.. Coles gate, he fell headforemost
down the high embankment along
side the yard fence. He was removed
to the house and his wounds were
dressed by DR. Berry, and was able
to go home Friday evening. He was
badly bruised about the head and face.
The distance down the embankment is
about twenty feet.

We have been panied to learn that
Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson, who
has for some time been in New York,
under the treatment of specialists for
cancer of the throat, has failed to find
relief, and that his physicians offer
him no hope. Our dispatches say
that he is now EN- route to his home

ried that he might spend his few re-
naming days among his people.
This is indeed sad news, not only to
his diocese, but to the entire state, for
every one revers and esteems the dis
tinguished Bishop, regardless of sect
or creed. He is a grand man, and we
fermently hope he may even yet be
spared to carry OH his great work.

Heat of Volcanoes.

The Maoris of New Zealand. cook
their potatoes and other vegetables in
volcanic heat. There are a few VOL
canoes in New Zealand. and some of
the Maoris live up in the mountains
near them. They make the volcanoes
do several useful things for them, but
the queerest is the cooking. A few
Of the volcanoes have a sort of periodic
action. They heat up the ground in
the fall and then lie idle the remaind-
er of the year. Those volcanoes are of
a quiet disposition and never break
loose, but they heat the ground Just
enough to do the native cooking. The
plan of the Maoris is to dig pit about
Ave or six feet deep and bed it with
straw. Then they put in their vege-
tables. filling up the pit quite full. and
then cover it over with more straw
and then n layer of earth. And then
then they go away and lie low. Then
the volcano begins to heat up and
gets in It's fine work and the potatoes
and mangoes cook. The natives let
them stay there for long time after
the heat departs from the earth, take
them out whenever they want them.

Eastern Farm Lands.
Press.

In the eastern states prices of agri-
cultural land have generally fallen in
recent years, in some cases about SO
per cent of the figures asked during
the time of high prices. One of the
chief causes for the decline in the
value of land in the east appears to
be loss of fertility in the land itself,
due. perhaps, to careless farming. In
the central and western states there
appears to be no such marked decline
in farm values as in the east. In the
northwest land seems to have been in
creasing in value, and in some locali-
ties to very marked degree. Farm
laborers seem to have profited more in
the past few years than their en-
ployers, or, since the fall in the prices
of farm products, even better off than
some of the farmers who employ them.
1t is also said that there is a greater
opportunity for laborers to rise to in
dependent positions in agriculture
than ever before.-Detroit Free Press.

A GREAT MAGNET.
Such Is tho Character of the Planet We In
habit.

Such is the Character of the Planet We In
habit.
While we know that the earth Is a
magnet, no one Is able to say what
makes it so. The fundamental secret
of terrestrial magnetism has not been
solved. Then, too, there are various
changes In direction which mark the
behavior of the needle that remains
to be explained.
These questions are often asked:
what influence is 1t that makes the
needle swing to and fro to a micro
scopic extent every day? Why Is 1t
that the diurnal swing Is greater In
years of sun spot abundance than Mt
the minimum stage of solar activity?
Why do the Indications of the needle
differ in summer from those Of winter?
What is the key to the mystery of the
long period movement that makes 1t
necessary to rechart the situation?
What causes the convulsive behavior
of the magnets for few hours or days
when there is great outbreak OF
sun spots? And is there any relation
between the weather and the fuctllt-
tions in the earth's magnetism?' There
are theories on these subjects. but no
generally accepted doctrines, but the
human mind Is so constituted that 1t
will not rest until further light is OBJ
tained.

"a COLORADO COLONEL"
BY WIN. c. CAMPBELL.

When railroad attorney turns his
hand to literary work his books are
not likely to be dull. His calling is
in itself suggestion of life, hustle and
variety, and his point of view Is natu-
rally that of the traveller and cosmopol-
ltan. "a Colorado Colonel and Other
Sketches" by William Carey Camp
bell, is chiefly remarkable for the fact
that it is permeated In every line by
the spirit of the West. A western story
written by n tenderfoot is invariably
as much off color as Is n western land
scape painted by an eastern artist from
photograph. In both, while the out
lines may be wholly western, the at
mosphere Is that of the East.
Mr.. Campbell lives in Prescott, Ari-
zona, and is general attorney for the
Santa Fe & Phoenix railway and the
Prescott & Eastern railroad. Formerly
he lived in Topeka, Kansas, and he Is
substantially product of the West.
Hence in describing western scenes and
western people he never touches
false note. His westerners live and
breathe In their natural atmosphere.
His book consists of one tolerably
long story. "a Western Colonel" and
nineteen shorter sketches of life and
scenes In Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado,
and sketches are alike Kaleidoscope
and in some instances unstudied and
sketchy after the impressionist style.
The delightful Colonel Golden s. Fer
guson Is mine promoter or boomer"
of the Colonel Sellers style, and his
peculiarities are exaggerated in the
story to the point of the burlesque.
The romance is furnished by the love
affairs of the younger people. whose
fortune 1t is to become associated with
him.
After saying that the local coloring
is always perfect, the character of the
gested by their titles, which are ns
follows: 1.-THE Bucking Bronco"

Jackrabbit," "a Cat Creek Conversa-
tion," "The Backsliding at Cat Creek"

"The Opening of the Cherokee Strip"
"Christmas on the Huerfano," Heap

While there is much quiet humor and
some exaggeration in the stories, they
are in no way sensational. They are
smoothly and entertainingly written
and make easy reading. A few of
them appeared in magazines or news
papers before they were put in book
form.
The work is handsomely illustrated
by n large number of half tones from
photographs and drawings. The ty
Biography, paper, presswork and bind
ing are highly creditable to the pub

Steamer Undine VIII Ply on the Grand
and Green Rivers,

A few days ago the Inhabitants of
the little town of Moab, located ON the
Grand river in eastern Utah, were as
tonished at the sight of genuine
steamboat making its way slowly up
the river and stopping in front of their
place. There was no wharf to tie to.
1t was the steamer Undine, Captain
Summerville. that had made its way
down the Green river from Green Riv-
err station, on the Rio Grande Western,
to Its junction with the Grand, and
then up the Grand to Moab. The de-
tails of this initial trip are given by
the Grand Junction Sun. The Undine
is sixty feet long, with ten-foot
beam, and is capable of carrying thirty
tons of freight. The time occupied in
the trip is not stated, but Captain
Summerville announced to the people
of Moab that he would carry their
freight to and from Green River sta
tion ut much less cost than the pres
ent wagon haul. This proposition was
enthusiastically received by the farm
ers and fruit growers of that section,
who thus saw way to get their fruit
to market instead Of permitting it to
rot on the trees, as has been the GUS
tom heretofore. If he can obtain
enough freight the captain will inau-
gurate a regular service. The currents
of these rivers are very swift, but II
the Undine is built as she should be,
there is no reason known to the News
why steamboat service should not be
successfully inaugurated on these riv-
ers. Steamboating in the very heart
of the continent may strike some peo-
pie as novel, II not impractical, but 1t
should be remembered that the Green
and the Grand are both might rivers
with volumes of water exceeded by
few streams on the continent.-Denver

REFORM IN MEMS DRESS.
Club Formed at Berlin VIII Endoavor
to Eject y Change.

Club Formed at Berhn VIII Endoavor
to Eject Change.
Under the leadership of Prof. Her
man Widner. number of noted men
Of artistic taste have formed at Berlin
the only male dress reform club in the
world, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
A great crusade has been inaugur-
ated against the severe cut of the pres
ent day attire which forces one of tho
sterner sex to put aside his own in
dividuality and follow fashion re-
flected upon every man he meets.
While the members of the German
Male Dress Reform club do not favor
the ruffies and laces of Louis XIV. they
would compromise between that mode
Of dress and the twentieth century
fashion.
Prof. Widner has issued call for
suggestions, and many hundreds of de-
signs, some practical and others very
grotesQue, have been submitted to
these organized revolters against the
laws Of fashion. The idea first selected
is design worked out at mass meet
ing by the artists of the club. 1t is a
modified form of the uniform worn by
a German Hussar regiment.
The short coat or jacket fits snugly
at the waist and suggests the use of
stays, though these reformers are after
solid comfort. Rows of braid. silver or
gold. to match the cloth, as the fancy
dictates. outline the graceful curves OF
the spinal column, the sleeves are
trifie fuller than men usually wear and
the shoulders have that long, graceful
slope SO much desired by the society
belle" and SO strenuously avoided by
men until these artists changed the
fashion.
American Beau Brummels" scoff at
the idea OF wearing coat the shoulder
seam OF which commences about two
inches down the arm, for, besides being
in their eyes effeminate-that awful
word which stands for everything man
should avoid-and ugly. they must be
uncomfortable, or 1t seems to the poor,
unenlightened fashions slaves and fol-
lowers Of long established custom on
this side Of the water. The German
Male Dress Reform Club trousers fit
tight, loosening somewhat below the
hhSS' anu thcy are tIlmmeu Win JUL
tons from the knee down.
The waistcoat is thickly padded,
showing to good advantage the chest
formation. With the thermometer at
zero, this is comfort. But is the COM
bination of the broad and manly chests
with the slender. willowy form artis-
tic? As the chief aim and object of
these reformers is to be beautiful as
we'll as comfortable. the question is a
reflection on the good judgment of the
club.
The garments are to be manufac-
tured OF gay-colored cloths, varied in
tones. this being intended to give the
portrait painters relief from the dull
monotony Of the present colors. The
club has written to artist fraternities
all over Europe soliciting further de-
signs. and whole volumes OF drawings
and suggestions have been received in
reply.
All the members are wearing the at
tire first selected until something else
Is decided upon.
