An Epidemic,

In view of the number of
rAroat trouble and diptheria cases
that have developed within the
last few weeks, disclosing an ep.
idemic of the disease, the city
board of health has deemed it the
part of prudence to order the
schools closed and prohibit all
public gatherings, including
church services, lodge meetings
and entertainments of every
kind, that the trouble may be the
more quickly stamped out. While
the epidemic in a majority of
instances is in a very light form,
there have been several cases
that have proved fatal, and the
board is certainly justified in the
action taken, and it is hoped that
their efforts to check the disease
will be given a cheerful and
prompt compliance with the or
ders issued and a careful OBJ
sarvance of the quarantine where
it is established.

The manager of the round ele
vator, E. E. Ingold, met with
quite serious accident last
Tuesday afternoon, and he was
fortunate in escaping as lightly
as he did. The day being chilly
he had donned duck coat, and
in attempting to put a belt upon
a shaft the coat caught on a nut
and he was thrown around sever
al times before the engine was
stopped. His cries brought John
Johnson, who happened to be
near by, to his assis tance, and
DR.. Ferguson was summoned
and the man taken home. A. care
full examination by the doctor
disclosed the fact that Mr.. lngold
was badly bruised in several
places and made sore all over,
but there were no bones broken
or internal injuries, and he will
soon be himself again, although
his escape from fatal injuries was
almost miraculous.

Incident of the Reign Of Terror.

dramatic incident of the reign Of
terror in France was the saving Of her
fathers life from the guillotine by
Mile. de Sombreuil. M. de Sombreuil
and his daughter were condemned to
death at the time Of the September
massacres and We're waiting in the
cart, surrounded by the mob, for their
turn to mount the scaffold Mile. de
Sombreuil turned to the crowd and
asked what harm a weak old man like
her father could do to the nation. Some
Of the men answered that if she would
drink glass of blood to the nation
they would let him go and passed up q
glass. She drank it down Immediately
The crowd took her and her father
from the cart. They escaped and made
their way to England. She thought at
the time she drank blood, but after
ward she concluded that it was red
wine, for she saw no one stoop to fill
the glass. TO her death she was never
able. however, to see red wine in a
glass without a shudder.

NaDOleOn'S First Ceuse. N1ua

That man is made Of mud by spon-
taneous generation under the suns
heat was the deliberate opinion Of Ma
poleon, first of the moderns, if General
Gourgaud can be believed.
Referring to ancient civilizations in
the east, Napoleon one day said to
Gourgaud:
All this leads me to think that the
world is not so very old, at least, as
inhabited by man, and within one or
two thousand years l am disposed to
accept the chronology appended to the
sacred writings. l think that man
was formed by the heat Of the sun
acting upon mud. Herodotus tells us
that in his time the slime Of the Nile
changed into rats and that they could
be seen in process Of formation"

A Pillar In Venice.

At a corner of st Marks church in
Venice, the one nearest the ducal pal
ace. there has been standing since the
eleventh century pillar Of red por-
phyry carved with the portraitures Of
four noble gentlemen Of Albania In
fact they were brothers who went TO
Venice in ship laden with vast
wealth. One couple plotted against the
other to secure all the treasure and at
feast each duo of plotters poisoned
the other. The signory of Venice seiZ-
ed upon their goods. In commemoru-
ton of so unbrotherly conspiracy and
as a warning against avarice the
unique and exquisitely carved pillar
was erected.

Slips OF Artists.


It Is part Of the seeming i'll luck
belonging to circumstance that an
artist may spend time and genius on
a piece of work and then fail con-
spicuously in some detail.
There Is story that one royal
academician gave hand five fingers
and thumb and that another painted
q live lobster bright red.
The clever Goodall had been engaged
In painting number Of laborers drag
ging a huge stone across the desert.
and a man Of science, entering the
studio, said to him:
Il say, Goodall, if you want those
fellows to pull that stone you must
double their number. 1t would take
Just twice as many"
But it Is not modern painters alone
who slip up on points Of accuracy.
Even Albert Durer, in a scene repre-
senting Peter denying Christ, painted
one Of the Roman soldiers in the act
OF smoking. Turner put a rainbow
beside the sun, and in another picture
he got woefully tangled in the ships

Strength Of Treasury Notes.

A single treasury note measures
three and one-eighth inches in width
by seven and one-fourth inches In
length. 1t will sustain, without break
ing, lengthwise, weight of forty
one pounds; crosswise, weight OF
ninety-one pounds. The notes run four
to sheet, sheet being eight and
one-fourth inches wide by thirteen and
one-half inches long. One of these
sheets lengthwise will suspend 1O0
pounds and crosswise 1T pounds. It
will be noted that a single note IL
capable of sustaining, crosswise, a
weight of ninety-on pounds, which is
twice the amount by nine pounds OF
the weight the note can sustain length
wise, while, in the case Of the sheet.
the crosswise sheet lacks thirty nine
pounds of double the sustaining power
of the lengthwise sheet.

A Bird In the Hand.

It Is impossible to trace the earliest
use Of the proverh "A bird in the hand
IS worth two in the bush," which in Va
rious forms of expression is common
to many countries
In middle English we find phrases
which have the same purport. Thus In
Hille's Commonplace Book" Q53O) We
find, "A byrde yn honde Us better than
three in the wode," and in Rhodes
"Babees' Book" also of early date, "A
byrd in hand is worth ten flye at
large"
No doubt our modern version springs
from these old saws, and it Is possible
that they may have originated in the
quaint remonstrance Of one Will Som
ers, jester in the court of Henry
VIII, to whom Lord Surrey, in graft
tude for many good turn, had given
a kingfsher from his aviary. When
Surrey sought to recover II, promisin4
to replace it another day, the sapient
Jester is said to have declined, saying,
II prefer one bird in the hand to two

The Seven sleepers Of Ephesu..


The seven sleepers Of Ephesus weeo
Constantine, Dionysius, John. Max
imian, Malchus, Martinian and Sera-
pion, seven young men, converts to
Christianity, who during the persecu-
ton OF Christians under the Emperor
Decius, A. D. 25O, refused to bow be-
fore an idol set up by the emperor at
Ephesus. The story goes that they
fed to cave In Mount Celion and that
Decius, in his rage, ordered all caves
in that mountain to be sealed up.
Nothing was heard OF them for go
years, when they were discovered By
some workmen who were digging foun-
dations. Awaking from their long
sleep, they offered, coins of such an
tlquity that the attention Of the au-
thorities was attracted. They did not
long survive and their bodies were
taken for burial in a large stone coffin
to st. Victor's church, Marseilles.

The following from the Sisse-
ton Standard shows the disposi-
ton made of the case of the State
VS.. Zach Flute, the Indian charg-
ed with the murder Of M. E. Col
by and Ed Peterson, which came
before the Roberts county circuit
court last week, Sears & Potter
appearing for the defen dant:
The attorneys for the defence then
sprung surprise by filing an affid davit
challenging the entire jury that had
been summoned to serve at this term
of court, on the grounds shown by af-
fdavits, that in the drawing of the
jury all the Indian citizens of the
county were excluded from the list OF
persons eligible for jury duty in a
county where, out of about 5000 vot-
ers there are about 400 Indian voters
and the defence in lengthy argument
asked that the jury be quashed. The
affida avit set forth thatIthere is a pre-
cedent for such achallenge established
by the Supreme Court of the United
States and which is reported in Vol.
lit of the reports of that court. in
which it was held in a case that went
up from one of the southern states, tn at
when a negro was on trial for a crime
committed and it was shown that all
negroes had been excluded in the
drawing of the jury, solely on account
of there color, that a jury SO drawn
was not fair and impartial jury with
in the meaning of the state and feder-
al courts. Motion granted and jury
quashed and case continued over until
next term of court.
