VOLCANO ACTIVE
IN NEBRASKA
Mountain Shows Alarming
Signs After 80 Years Of
Quiet Ropose.

Omaha, Neb., May lathe reports
of the frightful disaster at st. Pierre,
Martinique, have peculiar interest
to Nebraska people, and particularly
those of Cedar county, who are now
reported to be in a state of terror be-
cause the volcano there. as the people
believe it to be, has resumed its erup-
tions after 80 years Of repose. Direct
reports are unobtainable, but late mes
sages from PoDca report the volcanic
mountain in a state of eruption.
During the last twenty hours the
mountain has alarmed the residents
of that section by spewing forth dense
gases and smoke and by its rumbling
In 1871 the mountain @axed hot, and
badly scared the residents by its
grumblings and hot breath. Some
years ago an attempt was made to
sink shafts near the mountain for coal
veins, hut the attempt was given up.
At depth of a few feet the temper
ature was too hot for the boring tools.
Biologists state that the smoke and
steam is caused by stream of water
seeping into the limestone formation
of the mountain, but the people are
fearful of an eruption.
Travellers report that several fami-
lies are getting their belongings to-
gether, ready for hasty exodus
should the thing become more violent.

GRUESOME CHARGE
Made Against Ravenna ceme-
tary SuperIntendant-.like-
ly to Lose His Job.

Ravenna, O., May 14.-Considerable
excitement has been caused here by
the township trustees refusing to re-
appoint James Elmslie superintendent
of Maple Grove cemetery. 1t develop
ed that several years ago the remains
of Miss Thalia Bean were buried In q
wrong place by mistake of former
sexton. When Elmslie took charge
the mistake was discovered and rela-
tives ordered him to move the body.
After the sod had been removed
Elmslie is charged with stopping the
work, saying that the relatives would
never know the difference. The re-
mains were located today and the rel
atives are indignant for being de-
ceived. Mr.. Elmslie is the one who
participated in fight with an under
taker in the cemetery at funeral
some time ago.

The new game law is wonder. One
of it's provisions makes it unlawful to
catch blue gills or black bass during
the month of May. With the excep-
ton of these varieties, fish may be
caught with impunity. But the blue
gill-bass clause makes the sport pro-
hibitory. How is fisherman to know
when he drops his hook into some
limpid stream, whether he will haul
forth a somnolent sucker or fracture
the law by lifting blue gill or a bass?
The man, who fishes in May under the
existing law, is flirting with crime.
BY good luck he may come home with
a nice string of sunfish and a clean
conscience or he may hook blue gill
and ride in the patrol. May fishing,
just now, is strenuous occupation.

The power Of John Alexander
Dowie, Elijah H." has been put to
the test and found wanting Incident
ally the faith cure religion, of which
he was the chief exponent, has re-
ceived severe setback. His daugh-
ter, Esther, is dead, after the most
potent prayers have been sent heaven
ward in her behalf. 1t was case
where medical skill properly applied
would probably have saved the girls
life. At the very least it would have
afforded her surcease from pain. Ac-
cording to the press dispatches, when
the end came, Dowie, himself, was on
his knees at her bedside petitioning
for her life-the same Dowie, who, by
his own accounts, has long been in
direct communication with the Diety.
In this, his hour Of affliction, his
prayers were unheard and the great
prophet of Zion was as powerless TO
stay the hand of Death as a simple
peasant watching at the bedside of his
dying child.
