Parish Clerks Record.

The Yarmouth (Eng.) Parish Maya,
zine claims that Mr.. E. ]. Lupson, the
parish clerk in that town, has a rec
ord unparalleled in the Church of Eng
land. Appointed forty-two years ago,
he has served under seven Wears, and
since 1868 has been absent from Var
mouth only once in 2,162 Sundays,
while temporary indisposition has pre-
vented the performance of his duty
in the parish church on but three
other occasions. He has attended
1892 marriages, and has given
away" the bride ON 1864 occasions.
These marriages were solemnized by
218 different clergymen. Mr.. Lupson
still performs his duties with all the
alertness of a man twenty years
younger.

The future historian Of the United

ing reading when he tackles the pri-
vate cables which, within the last 60
days, passed between President Roose-
welt, King Edward of England, the
German Kaiser, President Loubet of
the French Republic, the Car and
the Mikado. Some of these cables,
1t is stated, are of an exceedingly
personal nature, but they show, it is
AIDED, the persistence of President
Roosevelt, accompanied by remarks
as to sound financial and economic
sense, and they display also, it is as
serted, the kindness of England's
King and the helpfulness of the Ger
man Emperor and of the President of
the French Republic. Incidentally, it
is averred, continues the New York
Sun, some of the cables give momen-
tary evidences of testines on the part
of the Car and the Mikado. These
private cables will be tucked away in
the secret vaults of the State Depart
ment at Washington and will not see
the light of day until all the great
actors in the peace climax have gone
to eternity and a future Bancroft IL
permitted to handle them.

The big rush of homeseekers
to the Twin Falls country to be
present at the opening of the last
section of land on the south side
of Snake river reached climax
yesterday, say dispatch to the
Statesman. For the past week
every train has brought in
crowds looking for homes on the
new land. The stage facilities
between Shoshone and Twin
Falls has been taxed to it's ut
most, although five stage lines
are in operation. Livery rigs
and private conveyances have
been called into service and yet
there have not been accommoda-
tons for all the people going
into the new town.
There has not been day dur

number of persons who could not
secure transportation across the
desert have started out of Sho-
shone to walk the 30 dreary
miles across the sage brush ind
lava rock to the new country.
Hotel accommodations in that
place have been crowded to their
utmost capacity. Lodging hous-

in the railroad station occupied
by sleepy homeseekers who can
not find other quarters for the

In double balloon ascension
this afternoon, the lower part of

every bone in O'Dell's body was
broken. He is still alive and is
getting along nicely. Dare did
not sustain a broken bone but
was internally injured and died
at 6 o'clock tonight.
A young boy named Gibson
was caught by the falling bal
Don and completely covered. The
hot air burned him about the
face and body before he could be
from underneath.
AS soon as the balloon left the
ground the lower part of the
bag could be seen ripping away.
