AN ODD MISTAKE IN
 CONGO FREE STATE.
A Stupid Belgian Official Weeds Couple Who Call to Tell Him
 of a Death.

London.-An amusing story is brought by the last West African mail steamer of the blunder of Belgian official at Bona, in the Congo Free State.
 A European missionary having died at small up-river station, Swedish lady and gentleman who had been present at his decease went to Bona to notify the event to the registrar of the district. This official, however, spoke only Flemish, and the visitors had to use French.
 However, the registrar opened his books, made a prodigious number of notes as to names, ages, occupations, etc., and then with beaming smile shook hands with both lady and gen. tleman, wished them every happiness, and told them that his fee was one sovereign.
 The visitors then discovered that he had made them man and wife, but as they had already been married five years, the only sufferer by the trans action was the well meaning Belgian, who never got his fee.

LOCAL NEWS.

Tuesday morning Mrs. Peter
Geiger received intelligence of
the death of her brother, Duncan
McOnie, in Spokane, Washing
ton. The news came in letter
addressed to the postmaster at
Julesburg and written by the
county coroner in Spokane. Mr..
McOnie had been found dead,
and the only thing found upon
his body by the coroner by which
he could be identified was a letter
from Miss Tenia Geiger. The
letter was written in June, 1899;
it was dated at Julesburg and was
only signed by Miss Geiger's first
name, hence the coroner wrote to
the postmaster here for informa
ton as to the identity of the dead
man. Mrs. Geiger has written
to the coroner for further par
ticulars in reference to her broth
er's death.
