will not only nourish a particular

every other part. Yet, however

GSpSicS and Death.

The custom of placing the property
of the dead in their graves hIEs always
been followed ny the true Komany
gypSieS. 1t is du" 10 some old tradition
Of i'll luck attending the possession OF
an article who's" former owner is gone
and much valuable property is buried
in this belief. There is also 4 senti
Dient among %ypSi"S against the pos
session of anything that has belonged

remind the living of the departed and
inspire in them Il dread Of death. The
custom of burying their property with
gypsy dead dates from the earliest his,
tory of the Romany tribes.

AR.Early Riser

A strong, healthy, active consti-
tuition depends largely on the con-
dition of the liver. The famous
little pills known as DeWitt's Little
Early Risers not only cleanse the
system but they strengthen the
action of the liver and rebuild the
tissues supporting that organ.
Little Early Risers are easy to act,
they never grippe and yet they are
absolutely certain to produce re-
suits that are satisfactory In all
cases. Sold by

THE RUSSIAN DISASTER.
Special Correspondent Gives an Ac
curate Account of Same.

Norris Newman, one of the special
correspondents of The Inter-Ocean
and the New York World in the far
East, sends the following account OF
the disasters to the Russian ships
Yenesei and Boyarin, which were &C
cidentally destroyed:
Tien Tsin, Feb. .2O.-At New Chwang
survived the catastrophe to the zen
esei full details of the explosion
which destroyed her and of the subse-
quent loss of the Boyarin in Dalny
bay.
The Yenesei was engaged on Feb
II in laying 400 mines, and had plant
ed 39S. Tne three hundred and nine,
ty-ninth, instead of sinking, floated
on the surface of the water. On this
the Yenesei drew off and fired at II
with her light guns, attempting to
sink or explode it.
While thus occupied the lookout
man discovered the ship had drifted
close to another mine. He gave Tie
alarm and jumped overheard. One
hundred and ninety officers and men,
including the captain, were killeo,
while ninety more in the ship were
picked UP by boats and saved The
officer laying the mines, who was the
only man in the Russian fleet with a
knowledge of exactly how the mines
we're disposed. was among the killed
A violent storm followed When
the mines came to the surface they
floated about in all directions. The
next day the Boyarin was sent to ais
sist in securing them. She was caught
in storm, however, and driven
ashore on the rocks where she be
came total wreck.
The loss of the Russian fleet up to
date is eleven large ships wrecked or
permanently injured.
The rumors that Dalny has been oc.
cupied by the Japanese is quite un-
true. Trains are running all the way
from Port Arthut and Harbin, but
they are greatly delayed, though the
line is strictly guarded.

Only Once in Twelve Years.

George Cation, the popular Iowa
Central engineer, is in quandary.
He has not had birthday for the
past eight years, and now that he sees
one approaching in the near future
he is worried in a number of ways as
to the outcome Of the day He is
fully convinced of the fact that he is
older than the number of his birthday
anniversaries would indicate, but he
fears that the men who make the al
manacs may have made some sort of
error and that the day will not come.
George was born on the Goth day Of
February, and hence he comes very
near being the man without a birth
day. Since the event has been post
poned for the past eight years, and
there will not be another for four
more. One birthday in twelve years
is a scarcity Of the commodity that
brings the value above par. George
had been planning to do a number of
things as a sort of program of cele-
bration of the event. He has been
watching his wife's movements dur
ing the past several weeks, and hay-
ing detected nothing suspicious in her
actions nor in the greetings extend
ed him by the neighbors, he is fully
convinced that no one is inclined to
perpetrate surprise upon him, and
that there will be nothing doing. He
is certain that no one will dare to,
multiply birthday presents twelve
times one and donate what is justly
due him on the occasion, so he feels
perfectly safe in relying upon his
own resources for the days enter
tainment.

FIRE At BEACON
Residence Of Ben Templeton Burned
at Noon To-day.

Beacon, Feb, 20.The residence OF
Ben Templeton was burned to the
ground during the noon nour today.
The house, which stands toward the
east end of the main street Of Beacon,
was wholly destroyed, with a part or
the contents. The fire caught in the
roof either from a defective flue or
from sparks falling from the chimney.
The fire mad quite start when discoy-
cred and the efforts of neighbors and
crowd whicI quickly gathered
about the place were unavailing in
controlling the flames. The fire burn
ed quite rapidly and the heat became
SO intense that the fighters could not
get near enough to be of service in
that direction. Efforts to subdue the
fire were soon abandoned and energy
was directed toward saving the furni-
ture and contents of the building
Quite large part of the household
effects were saved. Mr.. Templeton is
an employe of the, Oskaloosa Coal
and Mining company and is in the
company store at this place.

Petitions to both the house and SEN

these a plea was made that there be
law made to prevent the shooting of
horses tails and to provide humane

chosen by herself, to see that the
photos were property taken.
The business session was then ad-

ment gave the program of the after

man of the department, in charge.
The first number on the program was
a vocal solo by Miss Helen Kalbach.
Miss Evans then told in very unique
manner of the TardshIps endured by
herself and several oher ladies of the
Shakespeare class in trying to get to
Abba that they might see Mr. William
