scarcely a trace of them.

And make things what they seem

Since Roosevelt won the day.

IOWA HAS A LAKE OF MYSTERIES
With Its Companion Spirit Lake 0ko-
boji Lies at a High Altitude.

Okoboji. Iowa, Dec. l7.-Lying al
most seventeen hundred feet above the
sea level, the highest body of water ex
cept one between the Gulf of Mexico
and the Artic ocean, Lake 0koboji a
favorite summer resort of Iowa and
other states is one OF the most interest
ing of the small lake in the west.
1t is-a lake OF mysteries. A compan-
ion is Spirit Lake, the two being sepa-
rated by neck of about one hundred
yards>of land. But Spirit lake lies
eight feet higher than Okoboji and is
said to be the most elevated sheet of
water i'm, the entire Central valley of
North LAmerica.
Spipft lake derives its name from the
Indians who accounted for some of the
strange things about the two bodies of
water by assuming supernatural cause.
Spirit lake is shallower. but Okoboji is
bottomless. eN There is an area in it's
center, which cannot be sounded, be-
cause any weight which is lowered into
| it will be thrown upward after it has
descended about three hundred feet.
A powerful stream of water flowing
into the lake from some mysterious
source, probably of artesian rorlgin, is
supposed to cause the pressure. Many
efforts have been made to sound the
lake and investigate the source of this
great stream, but without success.
1t has been proposed recently by
summer residents who own property
about the lake to have an examination
madesby the United .States geological
survey.
Computations of the annual loss OF
these two lakes by drainage and eyapo
ration have been made. Compared
with the amount of water which can
be received from the limited water
shed tributary to them, it is found thai
AN immense volume must be poured il
/ from shis subterranean channel. Ii
Okoboji are several places, above thes,
mysterious geyser-like springs which
never freeze in the coldest weather
There are about sixty SQUARE miles o
water surface in the two lakes.

lakss lie considerably higher than tn

UNIQUE PLANS FOR BANQUETs
Guests at Jefferson Celebrations May
Hear Speeches by Phone.

NEW YORK. March 25.-It is possible
that the guests of the Jefferson birthday
banquet in this city and Chicago win be
enabled to listen to the speeches of the
more prominent orators in both cities on
the same evening by means of telephone
wires connecting the Two banquet halls. A
suggestion that such an arrangement be
brought about has been made by officials
of the Iroquois Club of Chicago and the
proposition will be considered by COM
mittee of the democratic club of this city
next Tuesday night.
Should the local club take favorable ac-
ton, plans will be perfected to have each
guest supplied with a telephone receiver
connected with a direct wire between the
banquet halls in Chicago and New York.
The voices of the orators will be caught in
reversed megaphonesss connecting with the
telephone transmitters, and will be heard in
the two cities a thousand miles apart at
the same instant.
William Jennings Bryan will become of the
principal speakers at the Chicago club,
while Alton B. Parker. who was the demo-
cratic candidate for president in the last
campaign. will be one of the speakers at
the banquet in thisScity.

FEARS FOR FATE OF BOY.
Locked in a Freight Car Somewhere in
the West

NEW YORK, March 25,-Locked in a
freight car somewhere between New York
and the great lakes. either dead or dying
from starvation and fright, is, the police
fear, the fate of seven-year- old John Dono-
hue of this city.
The lad has been missing from his home
since March 20, but it was not until today
that the possibility of such an end for the
little fellow occurred to the officers who
have been searching for him. 1t was not
until today that they succeeded in finding
any tangible clue upon which to work.
Then it was learned that young Donohue
with several companions was seen playing
around some empty freight cars at 18th
avenue and SD street late last Monday
night.
One of these boys has told the police that
he saw Donohue and another boy enter one
of the cars just before it was attached to
a train which was being made up. AS the
train was moving away the other boy
jumped out, but he saw nothing of Dono-
hue. Since that time nothing has been
heard from the missing boy. The police
believe the car may have been locked by
some trainman who did not know the lad
was inside, and that it now is somewhere
far out on the line.

MUST REIMBURSE HER FOR LOSS.
Steamship Company Ordered to Pay
Woman for Jewels Stolen

NEW YORK, March 25.-That the At
lantic Transport Company must pay to
Mrs. Frances NJ Barnes s6,9SS to refm-
burse her for the value of jewels which
she alleged were stolen from her state
room on board the steamship Minnetonka
has been decided by United States Com
missioner Herbert Green.
The decision will be reviewed by Judge
Adams of the United States court, who,
however has already declared that the
steamship company is liable. Mrs. Barnes
alleged that while crossing the ocean on
the Minnetonka last November a man
dressed in the uniform of a ships steward
burst into her state room, snatched a bag
containing the jewels and disappeared.
The Atlantic Transport Company con-
tended that the form of ticket bought by
Mrs Barnes exempted them from liability
for loss arising from theft.

TREPH1N1Ne FOR MENINGITIS.
Experiment Being Tried by New York
Physician.

Special Dispatch to The Sunday Sta:
NEW YORK, March 25-Physicians are
watching a novel attempt to cure cerebro-
spinal meningitis, the disease the spread of
which has become so alarming. The au-
thor of the remedy is DR.. William Tod
Helmuth, and the patient on whom it is
being tried is a nine-year-old boy, who was
brought to the Flower Hospital week
ago in the last stages of the disease. In
view of his condition and the fact that
science knows of no specific for the dis
ease, DR.. Helmuth determined to try
trephining the skull. The operation was
performed with the assistance of a number
of other physicians. small portion of
bone was removed from the skull ON both
sides of the head, the covering of the brain
pierced, and the puS and liquid which ac-
cumulates in the disease was drained off.
The patient experienced immediate relief.
The scalp was then stitched together over
the openings made.
The usual treatment is to pierce the
spinal canal and draw off the fluid there.
DR.. Helmuth and his assistant in the
operation had their faces covered with fine
gauze, saturated with an antiseptc. The
disease is supposed to be germ which en-
tiers through the nostrils and pierces the
brain, and is infectious.
