A GLOOMY PROPHECY.

man hermit fOf6tOld the AusCrO-
Russian and FracO- -Prus sian
wars, the death of Pope Plus and
the Turko-Russian debate at
arms He said that Germany
would have three emperors IN
one year before the end of the
century, and indicated the death
of two Uniteda States presidents
by assination. All these things
have come TO pass.
In the same article he said that
when the twentieth, century opens
great seismic disturbance will
t}ke place, which will cause the
submersion of New York city and
the western half of the city of
Havana. Cuba is to break in two,
while Florida and Lower Cali.
fornia are to suffer total extinc-
ton. The shock of these earth
quakes will raze building to the
ground in almost every city on
the continent, millions of lives
and billions of dollarr' worth of
property will be lost.
There is to be change in the
oconimic7 conditions of almost
every civilized nation, He fore
tells the growth of a democratic
spirit in England, which will re-
suit in a revolution that will
over throw the present form of
government and make the country
q republic. He says the last rul-
or of England will be the best
the country ever had; and the
president of new nation will
be one of the royal family.
Queen Victoria is by long odds
the best ruler England has ever
had, and in a recent speech the
Prince of Wales said it is his de-
sire to live to see England a re-
public.
According to the hermit, Rus.
Sia, France and Italy will form
an alliance and will enter into
war with Turkey. This War is
to be the outgrowth of Turkish
persecution of Christian subjects.
This triple alliance will conquer
the domain of the Sick Man of
the East At the expiration of
the war complications will arise
which will plunge Italy and
France into war with Russia.
The result will be that the two
countries will be gobbled up by
the northern power, and will
cease to exist as independent ma
tiOns. While war is being waged
betwenn them the pope will
move the seat of Catholicism
from Rome to some town in SOU
thern ireland.
A rebellion will take place in the
land of the shamrock, III which
the country will become inde-
pendent Of England. Then a
conflict will arise between the
ultra Catholic of the north. in
which the southerns will be tie
victors. A kingdom will be es-
tablished, and it is predicted that
the reign of the first potenthte
will become historic for it's ty-
ranny.
The phophet paints dark fu-
ture for the. United States, He
says at the close of the century
a feeling of unrest will seize the
people. This feeling will be the
ontgrowth of unequal social and
economic conditions. He pre-.
diets that the twenty. fifth pfesi,
dent will be the last executive
head of the United States. Dur,
ing his administration the discon.
tented masses will break sinto
open rebellion and the establish-
cd form of government will be rent
asunder, and for year or more
anarchy will prevail. When or.
dor shall be brought out Of chaos
six republics will be formed
with capitals ut the following
cities: San Francisco. Denver

But why was 1t that the early Chris

In one of the old Christian frescoes

scented as pulling a fish out OF Int

Nebraska was at the Hotel Baltimore
last night on his way to his home IN
O'Neill, Neh, from the South. Con-
gresham Kinkaid Is h might be
called a "persistent' republican. He
made three successive races for con-
grsss in his district before being elect
ed. The Sixth district, which lies In
the extreme western part of Nebraska,
was, until the election of Congressman

The fence question is occupying the
attention Of the public extensively in
his district, Congressman Kinkaid
says. He believes that the matter will

satisfactory to both farmers n the
