THE EMPRESS EMSY.
Lady Whom the Emperor of Corea
Privately Espoused and Gave
Many HOnOrs.

In discussing the other day the sit
uation in Corea, the Sviet asked who
was Lady Emsy. The Russian journal
now replies to it's own inquiry. Emsy
is the lady whom the emperor of Corea
privately espoused after the murder of
his consort, and he has since heaped
the highest court honors upon her.
His majesty has declared his intention
on the occasion of the fortieth ami
versary of his reign of having Lady
Emsy proclaimed empress, and her
SON the imperial crown prince. The fu-
ture empress is woman of intelli-
gence and ambition. The emperor de-
send special representatives to Seoul
for the jubilee festivities and the en-
thronement of Empress Emsy. With
the exception of England and Japan
these invitations were declined, says
the London Standard. The Sviet adds:
Gin consideration of the important
role which Empress Emsy is likely
to play in the future, court politics Of
Corea, the Toxic government has prom
Used to send member of the mikado's
family to assist at the coming festivi-
ties at Seoul. England follows the ex-
ample of her ally, and will be specially
represented by Sir Claude Macdonald,
the British minister at Toxic. There
can be no doubt, of course, that these
courtesies on the part of Japan and
England will secure to those powers

transformation of species having both
complete and incomplete metamor-
phoses.
g. A collection of about 100 of the
more common interesting species
found in the field, together with Sc
,ies illustrating the various stages and
habits of some of the more important
forms
8. The same as No. 2, but COM
posed largely of insects met with in
the spring.
4 Special collections of about the
same size as those described and rep
resenting limited groups, for example:
Economic insects, mimicry, bees and
their allies, flies, butterflies and
moths, etc. These special collections
will be prepared only in response to
several requests. Other phrases of in
sect life may be illustrated if there

A Sunday Row.

A row occurred on West Main street
Sunday afternoon in which several of
the. young men of the city were mixed
up. They seemed to have been left to
fight it out as no arrests were made.
Such performances certainly should not
be allowed in the city, on Sunday or
any other day. They who disregard the
law should remember that there are
others with rights to be considered and
to whom such occurrences as that of
Sunday are very annoying.

DITCH MATTER NEXT MONDAY
Parties Interested in New Channel
for Boyer to Appear on
That Date.

The matter OF the construction of the
big on-Pottawattamie county ditch
Tor the Strengthening OF the Boyer river
came up before the County Board of SUI
pervisors when II convened in regular June
session yesterday. There was considerable
discussion of the matter. but no further
action was taken, next Monday being set
as the time for hearing all interested
parties on both sides OF the question. BY
the proposed improvement It is stated by
Colonel Baker. who Is advocating the en-.
terprise, that where II now takes water
forty-eight hours 20 travel from Missouri
Valley to the Missouri river by the devious
course OF the Boyer, the new ditch would
make the distance so much shorter and the
fall per mile so much greater that the
water would find its way into the Missouri
from the Valley in just four hours. BY
thus Increasing the capacity OF the water.
way to carry off the water great beneht
would accrue to the owners of land in
that vicinity.
The proposed ditch for the Improvement
OF Pigeon creek contemplates substituting
a ditch four miles in length for fifteen miles
OF winding creek bed. II constructed the
ditch will have a fall OF two feet eight
inches TO the mile and Will carry the
water on many times faster than is now
the case.
AS the result OF the floods now prevalent
the board received an unusually large
number Of petitions for new bridges. Lewis
township alone asked for hve. The greater
portion of this township is on the river
bottoms south OF the city and has been
badly flooded. and AT the present time
large sections OF II are under water.
The board let the contract for construct
ing the new cement sidewalk In front OF
the court house to z. A. Wickham at M
cents a square foot.

people proposed building on the corner they
appealed to the city for three feet Of the

left three-foot Offset and the Telephone
company objected to having it's building in

swindIed His GRANDMOTHER.

A requisition was issued by the governor

Chicago of one Henry Leighton, against
whom has been filed an information ac-
cusing him OF cheating by false pretenses.
Leighton is a young man without parents

He was living with his grandmother, who

made a statement 10 her to the effect that
he wanted $500 for certain purpose. She
signed an order or note and thought moth
ing more about It until she read In the
paper about the young man getting q
larger sum. and on investigation she found
he had secured $500. with which he had
