PLYMOUTH ROCKS CRACK.
Its Origin Involves Unique and Ri-
 diculous Bit of History.

It's Origin Involves Unique and Ri-
 diculeus Bit of History.
 Plymouth has been called the cradle of New England. It is on the coast, thirty eight miles south of Boston, and is thriving and prosperous New Eng land town, with good schools and churches, and town hall, and shops of all kinds, and comfortable homes.
 On the flat strip of land that runs for miles up and down the shore of the bay, the diminutive white houses of the fishermen are crowded close to- gether In the center of the same fiat land-strip, fanked on both sides by the fshermen's homes, is a large, open square forty yards from the wat CT front. Here stands Plymouth Rock, the first sight of which gives one mental shock, for, no doubt, fancy has pictured an immense boulder rising grandly out of the sea but, instead, the visitor sees only an oblong. irregularly shaped gray sandstone rock twelve feet in length and five feet in width at the widest point and two at the narrowest. Across one part runs large crack which has been filled with cement, and which gives to Plymouth Rock a highly artificial appearance. The origin or this crack is a bit of , unique history, and bears evidence to the early differences that at times di- yided the inhabitants into two fac lions.
 For long time there waged spirited and bitter wrangling between the op- posing parties, and It even settled down upon the much-cherished Ply mouth Rock, which one party declared ought to be removed to a more worthy position in the town square, and the ,, other wranglers protested 1t should not be moved an inch from its posi-. ton, even though they had to guard 1t with their bikes and guns.
 Finally, the stronger faction drew up their forces around Plymouth Rock, and in attempting to move 1t up the , hill split 1t asunder, which seemed a bad omen for those who had attempted such | thing, until an ardent Whig leader hourtshed his sword. and by an

 Again, there Is a notion that heart disease Is destructive process; that the flesh Is affected In much the same manner as when the skin is ulcerated or the lungs are consumptiye. That Is very seldom true. The most serious disorders of the heart are quite differ. ent in their nature.

what we have to deal with is merely a passing phase in the States devsa
 opment. Just at present there h ten
 dency among the farmers to sell, be- cause they can sell at good prices and Invest profitably in cheaper lands in the newer States. The phenomenon Is a natural and by no means new one. In times of great Western migrauons It has been observed in all the older States. But the tendency is said to be by the disposition of wealthy landowners to increase their holdings under modern conditions, the management of large farms as busi- ness enterprise being made so much easier through the introduction Of i'm proved farm machinery. Of course, It Is only a question of time, however, when the tendency must be checked by the occupation of the newer lands. In the meanwhile the class of tenant farmers may be increased, but steady decline in the rural population for any long period is not to be expected, though in Iowa. as elsewhere, the cities seem to be gaining at the expense of the country There was an increase in all but two of the larger cities, and
 Waterloo gained nearly 50 per cent and Des Molnes about 25 per cent.

The Heart Disease BoRy.

Comparatively few people know that it is rare to find a perfect heart beat What is termed "palpitation" Is an irregularity in the beat. It is most commonly caused by some dis turbance of the digestion; by undue indulgence in tea, coffee, tobacco or alcohol; by worry or by excitement. Many persons, detecting such an ir- regularity, think they have some seri- ous disease of the heart that may end their life at any moment. That Is a very grave mistake in a double sense;

D0WNEY'S
CASE IS
HEARD

The suit OF Michael r Downey against
Mary J. Fuller was before Chief Justice
Douglas aud Justices Dubois and Blod-
gett on defendants demurrer. This is
a SUIT to otrecover damages for malicious
and wrongful prosecution. Mrs Fuller
sued Downev 10 recover damages for al
legged breach OF promise OF marriage
Mrs. Fullers suit IL not wholly set
tied yet, but Mr.. Donney was discharged

cost him $1,000 to get bail in Mrs Full
ler's suit and that she sought 10 dis
grace him IN the eyes Of his friends, the
public generally and especially in the
eyes Of tho lady 10 whom he was then
engaged TO be married
Defendant demurred 10 Mr.. Downey' &
present suit on these grounds: Because
Il does not appear that the action on
which said suit is based or founded has
termina ted. that 1t does not appear that
the suit was started without probable
cause, that the plaintiff has miscon-
ceived his cause OF action as the facts
set forth show false arrest not malici-
Gus prosecution. and that no malice In
regard 10 the arrest is shown A fur
ther claim is that the discharge from
arrest was due TO the fact that the claim
was made for unliquidated damages and
the writ alleged liquidated damages
therefore said arrest failed because OF
an error I'm law. and so n af1rma-
lively appears there was no demurrer
The plaintiff says these points are not
sufficient.
