Town Under Hammer.

Unless the courts intervene, the
entire town of Carlisle, Ark, and about
3,400 acres surrounding the town will
be sold at public sale on June 8, on an
order granted by the probate court OF
Lonoke county to the heirs of the
original owner of the land.
The order was secured by the guard
ian of three minor heirs of Mr.. Comic,
who years ago owned all the land on
which Carlisle stands, as well as much
OF the surrounding country.
The original owner sold most of the
land, but in 1879, presumably to make
title clear, he secured a patent from the
state for the whole track. He failed, ii
is said, to make new deeds for the land
which he had sold, and, as a result, the
heirs now claim the property. Three
of the grandchildren of the original
owner claim an undivided sixteenth OF
the property and through their guardian
secured an order for the sale of the
whole tract.
The citizens of Carlisle held a mass
meeting and decided to raise a fund to
carry on a fight against the claimants.

How Will You Spend Vacation?

Say, my boy, what are you going to
do during vacation? Loaf around town
make no effort to learn any good thing,
ask pay from your father if you so
much as pull weeds in the garden, or
are you going to brace up, hunt a place
in the country where you can learn
more in three months than is to be
learned in town in six, get the appetite
of a robust Christian, develope your
muscles, broaden your mind, get greater
respect for the men who toll, carr a few
dollars and come home with a increased
feeling of independence and personal
fitness to meet conditions? If you are
arranging to stay in town, and if you
are unable to find a ''job" where twenty
others are looking for the same thing,
whas is the matter of getting a piece of
ground and keeping yourself busy?
There is some money and a great lot of
satisfaction in the venture.

Don't Have to Pay Premium

The state supreme court of Minnesota
holds that a man can collect insurance
on a policy.on which no premiums have
ever been paid.
Herman Kollitz, of Minneapolis, in a
suit against the Equitable Mutual Fire
Insurance company is thus enabled to
collect 81 400 on the loss of a building
which burned just after he had taken
out insurance on it and before he had
paid the first premium. ---
Mr.. Kollitz secured his insurance
policy Feb. 20. 1903. 1t was delivered
to him without his having paid any
part of the premium. The building
burned March 3, and the next day Mr..
Kollitz sent a check for sS4 to pay the
premium, and at the same time sent
the required proof of the fire in order
to collect the value of his policy.
The check was returned to him and
the company maintained that he had no
claim against it because he had not paid
the premium within ten days after the

issuance Of the policy. A clause in the
application for the insurance required
that the premium should be paid within
that time.
The supreme court upholds the dis.
trict court in its contention that the ten
day requirement is no part Of the policy
itself. The court holds that the com.
pany in delivering the policy before
payment was made, simply extended
credit to the insured and cannot be
released from its liabilities.

Onion Saves Lives of Two.

An onion, strange as it may seem,
saved from instant death Rev. w. S.
O'Mara, one of the most prominent
Catholic priests of South Dakota, and a
friend, A. f. Doyle.
The priest and his friend were enjoy
ing a brief fishing trip to the shores of
Lake Kampeska, A heavy electrical
storm came up and the two took refuge
in an unoccupied cottage that had
recently been completed on the shores
of the lake.
AS the floor Of the cottage was newly
painted the two men did not go inside,
but took up a position, facing each other
in a doorway. Father O'Meara noticed
an onion lying in a sack nearby. He
picked it up and handed it to Mr.. Doyle
jokingly asking him if he would enjoy
some vegetables. Doyle good~-naturedly
accepted the onion, peeled it and ate
a part of it. Almost instantly he
realized that the onion had poisoned
him. He hastily stepped a few feet
from the doorway for the purpose of
splitting out the poisonous onion. Father
O'Mara, somewhat alarmed, followed
him for the purpose of rendering what
assistance he could.
The two men had scarcely stepped
from the doorway when there was a
terrific crash and a bolt Of lightning
struck the building and passed through
to the ground. The entire door frame
in which the men had been standsng
only a moment before was shattered
into thousands of pieces, and the walls
were knocked both inward and outward.
Neither of the men were seriously
injured by the shock, but had it not
been for the onion both would without
doubt have been instantly killed.

Parker Thinks He's Big.

A friend of Judge Parker, of New

manage such a big job?"
II have no doubt of it," replied
Justice Parker. II have no fear that
my lack of familiarity with life at
Washington will seriously handicap
me. If / am elected I believe I can fill

Important differences recently arose

The Mormon question being prosecuted

slight anxiety that might not other
wise be felt concerning Utah and Idaho

there. Labor troubles in Colorado will
also provoke a more than ordinarily

ticket, is the concern Of the contest in
Nebraska, for there. a United States
Senator is to be chosen to succeed Sen
