raj of the local brcthF1n regard

to the half hose habit. He is

There are just two towns in
this part of Iowa that do not
want water, Persia and Shelby,
that is they have no waterworks
and don't seem to want any.
Both towns get their water ship

while Persia blings it in pint
bottles, judging from the obser-

Missouri Valley and Logan
have developed a new phase of
the jealous sentiment that has
long existed between the towns.
Their authorities have lately
been engaged in arresting citi-
zens of the enemy who unluck-
lily engaged in some infraction
of the village laws and impos-
ing fines on them. At the last
published report Missouri Val
ley was $685. ahead on the
deal, having raked in $50 worth
of fines while Logan had only
got hold Of $l.65. The Valley
with her numerous saloons has
a decided advantage in such a
game. -Woodbine Chronicle.

SIX HUNDRED DROWNED
By Great Tidal Waves That Swept Over The
Tuamotu Groupof Tahiti.

~ Determined 10 Fake Them All
Back Into Her Bosom,

Papeete, Tahiti, July %. via San
Francisco, Aug, s.-(Correspondence or
the Associated Press)--It would seem
that the 80 Islands known varlously as
the Low Archipelago or Tuamotu
group, are destined to be reclaimed by
the Pacific ocean.
Last January they were swept by
food composed Of high waves from the
ocean and the lesser ones from the en-
closed lagoons, and Ia consequence
nearly 900 OF the inhabitants were
drowned and property 10 the value OF
one half million dollars was destroyed.
And now. six months later fierce gales
from the southwest and southeast have
again caused great surgng crests to
sweep over some OF the islands. SO far
only four persons are believed to have
persisted, but the fear is great that
when all the islands are heard from
there may be a distressing list Of fatal
tiles.
The steamer Excelsior suffered much
damage during the series Of gales while
she was on her trip from Tahiti to the
Marquesas group.
Three OF Tuamotu Islands were under
water 10 such an extent that the in
habitants had to climb cocoanut trees
for safety, Houses and stores. coprA
and finally the cocoanut trees were des-
troyed, while the inhabitants had
close call to death. Il IS thought most
OF the islands Of the group were Wis
tied by the storm.
The IAN OF July the anniversary Of
the falling OF the bas,ile. and the fol-
lowing week was celebrated here with
much enthusiasm.
