wear it, and they were courageous enough
to keep their word.
II buried another woman not long ago
dressed in complete set of furs Spite, not
sentiment, was at the bottom Of that ex-
hibition of bad taste. The furs were very
costly and there had long been bitter
dispute among the female members of the
old lady's family as to who should wear
them after she was done with them. AS
the time of her departure drew near the
quarrel over the prospective ownership
waxed hotter. The old lady herself was
sorely perplexed over the merits Of the
various claimants. Now she inclined to-
ward this one, now toward that. Finally
she concluded since the coveted furS were
bound to create discord SO long they
were above ground. nobody should have
them, but that she would settle the rivalry
and spite the whole brood of scheming
nieces and cousins by wearing the furs
herself to the end of the chapter.
"The relations fumed and fused over
this dictum. and II they had had their
way probably would have refused to carry
out her Instructions. But the old lady
had foreseen this tempest in the family
teapot and had taken the precaution to
entrust her post-mortem toilet to disin-
terested outsider who had nothing to gain
by disregarding her wishes. Threats and
adjurat tons had no effect upon that hard
hearted sartorial executor. SO we put her
ladyship away on the hottest day OF sum-

MUD VOLCANOES.
Nature Of Those That Spout in Italy,
Asia and Central America.

From Mines and Minerals.
Mud volcanoes are found in northern Italy
near Modena, In Sicily near Girgenti, on
the shores of the Sea of Azof and the Cas-
plan. in Central America and In other parts
of the globe. The gas frequently escapes
from them with such violence that mud is
thrown into the air to the height of several
hundred feet. Sometimes this gas Is in
fammable, consisting of sulphuretted hy-
drogen. hydrogen or some hydrocarbons,
and these gases occasionally take fire, so
that true flames issue from these mud vol
canoes. In other cases the mud volcanoes
appear to be formed by either hot or cold
springs, containing large quantities Of sus-
pended materials, and the liquid mud issues
from the vent without any violent eruptive
action.
Prof. Bunsen, in his account of the
pseudo-volcanic phenomena of Iceland, de-
scribes many valleys where sulphurous and
aqueous VapOrS burst forth with kissing
sound from the hot soil formed of volcanic
tuff. In such spots a pool of boiling water
is seen, in which a bluish-black argilla-
ceous paste issues in huge bubbles. These
bubbles, on bursting, throw the boiling mud
to a height of fifteen feet and upward
that 1t accumulates in lodges around the
crater and base of the spring.
The formation of a new mud volcano was
witnessed, according to Lyell on November
p, 1927, at Tokmali, on the peninsula of
Abscheron, east Of Baku on the Caspian.
Flames blazed up to an extraordinary
height for three hours and continued for
twenty hours more to rise about three feet
from crater from which mud was elected
At another point in the same district where
flames issued fragments of rock of large
size were hurled up into the air and scat
tered around
Near Girgenti. in Sicily. are several conf
cal mounds ten to thirty feet high, with
small craters at their SUBMITS from which
cold water mixed with mud and bitumen is
cast off. Bubbles of carbonic acid and car
buretted hydrogen gas are also disengaged
from these springs, and at certain periods
with such violence as to throw the mud
two hundred feet high. These mud or "air
volcanoes" are known to have been in &C
tivity for the last fifteen centuries. An area
of not less than one thousand square miles,
100 miles northwest of Clutch and the
mouths of the Indus, is covered over by nu-
merous mud volcanoes. One Of the cones Is
four hundred feet high, composed of light
colored earth and having at It's summit a
crater thirty yards in diameter. The liquid
mud which fills the crater is continually dis
turbed by air bubbles, and here and there
is cast up In small jets.
Who shall say but what Rosita, Silver
Cliff and Cripple Creek in Colorado witness
ed many such phenomena?

ing a city Passenger
station.

The Chicago Great Western railroad ex-
pects to be running trains into Council
Bluffs by September 1. This is the ofhcial
statement of General Trafic Manager P. G.
stohr. contained in a letter from him to
Commissioner Loomis Of the Commercial
club. which was received here yesterday.
But little grading remains to be done
and the work Of track laying will be com
menced in this vicinity within a week or
30. With the track laying machine a little
better than two miles of steel can be laid
a day. Contractor wickham is pushing the
work on the company's round house and
other buildings and has also begun work
on the freight depot.
The effort Of the Commercial club to in
duce the Wabash railroad to erect a local
passenger station has SO far not been sue
cessful. The Wabash maintains a local
freight depot, but has always used the
Union Pacific transfer depot for Its pas
senger business in Council Bluffs. An APP
peal was made by the Commercial club to
J.. Ramsey. IT,, pesident Of the Wabash
road. and in a letter to Commissioner
LOOMS Mr.. Ramsey states that as his
company runs its trains through to Omaha,
a local passenger depot, other than the one
now used, would necessitate the backing Of
It's trains into the local station which
would consume considerable time, or else
require the running Of separate trains
which would add greatly to the expense Of
the operating department. While not Of
fering any hope that his road erect a local
passenger station. President Ramsey states
he will look further into the matter.

At the Thirty-second street school these

memoratlve OF the Louisiana purchase. The
exercises will be be OF a historical nature,
carrying out the idea OF the st. Louis ex-
position and dealing also with the history
of Iowa.
Tree planting will form part OF the ex-
ercises and in this connection effort will
be made to interest the children in nature
work and the beautincation Of the school
grounds. At several OF the schools the
work OF beautifying the grounds with fow-
erbeds and trim lawns has been begun, q
work in which the pupils are showing much
interest. Superintendent Clifford is hope
full that Arbor day this year will mark the
Inauguration of a permanent movement for
the proper care and Identification OF school
grounds.
At a number Of the larger school build
ings there will be exhibits of the work OF
the pupils in connection with the exercises.
and a general invitation has been extended

anything definite. for the reason that II Is
still unsettled whether II shall be a four

important point is settled, and II is said Il

In, the meantime everything is in the air.
The hitch at yesterdays meeting arose
from the failure Of Lincoln and Nebraska

have franchises in the league. During the
meeting word was received from both
cities that they could not make the propo-
sition go. An effort will be made between

TELLS OF M'DANIEL'S DEATH
witness Swears Dying Man Cried
Out "They Did IL, They
DId It,"


AVoCA. Ia. April 29.--(Special)-The
second day Of the McDaniels-Levix murder
trial opened up with standing room at a
premium 1t is thought the rest of this
week and possibly next will be taken with
it. All other Jurors were excused until
Tuesday of next week. Between fifty and
sixty witnesses have been subpoenaed.
H.. L. Smith testified that as he was driv-
ing past McDaniel's house on February IA,
McDaniels came running from the house
down toward the road crying. They did
It! They did It! They did it," half a
dozen times or more. that he heard him
very plainly and could not be mistaken.
The REORGANIZATION failed to change his
testimony.
John Burger was the next witness. He
said he was going to Macedonia and hap
pened along by McDanieIs' house between
1880 and IL o'clock on February IA; that
he saw Smith standing by his team in the
road and Levix vas near him. He also saw
McDaniels laying in the yard about thirty
feet from the fence; he was lying on his
face in the snow without coat, vest, hat or
shoes on. Mrs. McDaniels was right by
McDaniels. Levlx, got in my buggy with
me and we started for the doctor. 1 ran
my horses some distance when he said to
me there is no use to hurry, we can't do
anything for him; he has cut his throat
with a razor. As we drove along 1 noticed
blood on the right side OF Levix's face.
DR.. Besore Of Macedonia said in sub
stance: When 1 reached McDaniels he
was on the couch. dead. with the juguiar
vein severed, wind pipe partially so-and
that in his opinion a man thus wounded
would be unable to walk more than twenty
feet.
