LEAVES HAUNTED HOUSE.
Stephen Phillips, Well-Known Poet
and Author, Driven from Eng
lish Home by Ghosts.

Stephen Phillips, the well-known
English poet-dramatist, author OF
"Paolo and Francesca" and "Herod,' -
has been having an experience which
he thinks the Psychical Research 80.
eiety should set about investigating
Mr.. Phillips recently leased detached
house in Egham, England, a sleepy up
river town near Windsor. He says:
mo sooner had we been installed
in the place than the uncanniest noises
conceivable beset US. There were
knockings and rappings, footballs, soft
and loud; hasty, stealthy hurryings
and scurryings and sounds as of q
human creature being chased and
caught and then strangled or choked.
Doors banged and were opened and
closed unaccountably, as IL by unseen
hands.
II would be sitting quietly in the
study writing, when the door would
open soundlessly. That in itself was
enough in the dead of night to man
with his imagination afame.
1T is needless to say we threw up
our lease of the residence and got
out of 1T like a shot. The servants
left SO precipitately that they did not
even take their boxes, so you may
Imagine how scared they WERE"

conqreaationaiists Adjourn.

The national Congregational coun-
Gil at Des Moines was adjourned last
week by Moderator Washington Glad
den after two strong addresses, one
by himself interpreting the signifi-
canoe of the council as related to the
future of Congregationalism and an
other by President Cyrus C. Northrcp
of the University of Minnesota. The
delegates were carried by special train
to st. Louis and held services at the
exposition Friday. The council is de-
clared to be the most important in the
history of the church because of at
least two important actions-the adop-
ton of plans for church federation with
the Methodist Protestant and the
United Brethren churches and for the
enlargement of the duties of the
moderator. The committee appointed
to consider the divorce question recon-
mended that a committee of FIVE be
appointed to study the question for a
period of three years and to report at
the next annual meeting of the council.
The council refused to draw the color
line by adding the word "colored"
after the name of negro churches.

HOGS MAY HAVE CONSUMPTION.
Disease Said to Be More Fatal Than
Cholera

OnOISTds
According 10 DR.. R. e. Commit, mem
Der of the state board of health, who
has just returned to Sioux City from
meeting of that body in Des Moines, a
seourge of consumption is prevalent
among the hogs of Iowa and that the
disease is more fatal than cholera.
This is a new development of the
malady, which is terror to the hui
man race and which battles the skill
OF physicians. At the Des Moines
meeting, the matter of establishing a
state sanitarium for consumptives was
given serious consideration. DR.. Con-
milf, who has championed this idea
for years, presented an able paper and
the idea will be carried out if the leg
islature can be convinced of its FEAST
bility. No thought of erecting elabo-
rate buildings is entertained, but more
of camp, where outdoor work and
plenty of air will be afforded. Most
of the consumptives would be self
supporting. 1t is estimated there are
about 5000 tuberculosis sufferers in
Iowa and from rs to 80 per cent of
these could take care of themselves,
if the state would properly direct their
efforts. The rest of the population
would therefore escape contagion.

STRANGE GARB AT WEDDING
Bridegroom Wears a Colored Shirt
Without Collar, and Keeps His
Hat On During Ceremony.

Whether Mark W. Flower was try
ing to win wager or was in his ac-
customed garb when he was married to
Miss Dale Lott in Belleville, ILL.,, the
other day is question which is agitat-
Ing those who saw the bride and BRIDE
groom as they stood up for the cere-
mony, which was performed by Rev.
o. H. Clark
The man gave his age as SO and
looked all of it; the girl made affidavit
that she was 10, but did not look that
old by two years. The difference in
age was the least noticeable contrast
between them. however. 1t was the
difference in their dress and personal
appearance which attracted the great
est attention.
The girl was beautiful, with clear
cut features which indicated intelli-
gence and refinement. She wore q
cream-colored dress, stylishly made
and trimmed with black. Her large
picture hat was fashionable, expensive
and becoming.
The man was not unusually hand
some, even to accept the opinion Of the
most charitable Of those who comment
ed upon his appearance. He wore a
colored shirt that was not fresh, and
was without collar. His hat was q
battered straw of ancient manufacture,
and his clothes suggested remarks
about the famous Panhandle Pete" by
their lack Of fit, continuity or newness.
He kept his hat on his head in the
presence of the bride.
Both Mr.. Flower and Miss Lott said
they lived in st. Louis. Mr.. Flower
refused to go into more particulars as
to their places of residence or social
or business connections. He became
angry at jocose comments which he
overheard, and went SO far as to
threaten to whip several bystanders,
either singly or together He declared
he had been put to so much trouble
to secure the marriage license that he
was unwilling to be worried any more.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Flower went their way, presumably to-
ward their home in St. Louis.

Branded Durinu Initiation.

Claiming that he was branded with
a red-hot iron while being initiated in
to that order, Roland Hunnewell of
Boone filed suit for $4,000 damages
against the Modern Woodmen Of
America. The suit, which is brought
against the members of Peterson
lodge of Boone, has attracted wide at
tention throughout that section, the
Modern Woodmen being one of the
strongest orders in Iowa. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the branding
irons said to have been used in the in
citations were unintentionally made
too hot and that the branding was &C.
cidental.
