Clock INSCRIPTIONS,

In former times it was the custom of
clockmakers to inscribe on the dial
plates of their clocks quaint verses.
one of the most common being the fol-
lowing:
4 serve thee here with all my might
TO tell the hours by day. by night.
:; Therefore example take by me
To serve thy God as serve thee.
Another favorite inscription was
"Tempus Fugit," or 'sTime Flies,'' and
thereby hangs tale. A we'll known
English clockmaker who fourished to-
ward the close Of the last century, on
being asked by customer whether a
certain clock was of home manufacture.

Organized -.


Organized !.
Havana, Oct. 9.-The preliminaries
OF an organization to be called the
Good Government league of Cuba
were begun at a meeting of Amer
leans, Cubans and others, at which
resolutions were passed to the effect
that the purpose of the association
should be the promoting by all legit-
innate means the establishment and
maintenance of permanent, stable
and lawful government, competent to
administer justice, insure domestic
tranquility, promote the general well
fare and insure the blessings of lib
erty to all the inhabitants of the ISL

It was declared that the league in
tends to adopt whatever means to this
end are deemed wisest by majority
OF the membership, which is intended
to be representative of all nationali-
ties and all sections and not to be
committed to any line of action un-
less 1t is decided what is most con-
ducive to the objects named.
While there was no expression to
that effect the movement is generally
regarded as pointing eventually to-
ward some more definite degree Of
American control or oversight in Gu
ban affairs than is vouchsafed by the
Plat amendment.

Receives q Command to Abandon Plan
for Mexican Colony.
Chicago, Oct. 9.-John Alexander
Dowie's plan for a Mexican colony
was abandoned in obedience to COM
mand received by Dowie in a vision
that came to him last Friday night,

templates the raising of $1,O00,0O0 in
Chicago for the purpose of restoring
Dowie's power and prestige. All
preparations for Dowie's departure for
Mexico had been completed when in a
vision the First Apostle" declared he

Man Killed.
Minneapolis, Oct 9.-William A.
Dowell, city editor of the Minneapolis
Tribune, was shot and killed by John
P. Quirk, retired saloonkeeper, in
front of whose home the shooting took
place. -.~a.---s-as.. ..F
The shooting was the result of a
long standing quarrel between the two
over the attentions paid by Dowell,
who was forty-nine years of age, to
Quirk's stepdaughter,- Bessie Squires,
press agent of the, Unique theater,
who is comely young woman of
twenty three. Oh - =
Dowell, who had formerly been a
boarder in the Quirk household, and
Miss Squires, who has not been living
at the Quirk home recently, called
there to see the girls mother. ~.
- Quirk Indignantly demanded by
house, which he had been forbidden
to enter, and Miss Squires answered
that it was by her invitation and to
prevent trouble persuaded Dowell to
accompany her away. ~.
Quirk followed the couple to the
street, still berating Dowell for. his
conduct, and in an alteration at the
sidewalk fired revolver at Dowell's
head and buried the bullet in his
temple.
Dowell fell to the sidewalk uncon-
scious and died two hours later at the
city hospital, where he was hurried
after the crime. -
Quirk told Chief Of Police Doyle
and County Attorney AL J. Smith that
he shot in self-defense, Dowell having
drawn a knife on him, and it is re-
ported by the hospital authorities
that an open penknife was found in
Dowell's overcoat pocket when his
clothing was searched.

DISARMAMENT OF REBEL AND

TlcALLY COMPLETES.
sL|6HT DISTURBANCES ARE REPORTED
TROUBLE At TWO POINTS DUE
TO ExUBERANcE OF THE
LIBERAL FACTION.

Havana. Oct. 9.-The reports re.
ceivsd by the provisional government
show that the pacification of Cuba is
practically complete, with the excep.
ton OF the province of Santa Clara,
where matters are rapidly nearing a
settlement. The only trouble known
to exist IS at Alquizar, province Of
Havana, where the Liberals and Mod
crates are about equally divided, and
irritation has been caused by the rein
statement of a Liberal mayor. The
disquieting condition at Alquizar, how
ever, has been caused by the exuber.
ance of the more reckless of the dis
banded insurgents and 1t Is believed
that the thirty rural guards there will
bs able to keep the peace. The dis
turbance at Guines has been sup
pressed. The disorderly former in.
surgents left the town and the marines
sent there report that the Liberals
celebration Of their victory passed off
without any further disorder. None
Of the men cut with machetes was
seriously injured.
A closer examination of the rifles
surrendered by the insurgents shows
that very few of them are fit for any
thing but the scrap heap.
Governor Taft and Assistant Secre-
tary of State Bacon took up their resi-
dence at the palace during the day.
Mr.. Taft was busily engaged with ex-
aiming the reports of the heads Of
departments on the first weeks work
under the provisional government.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The vacancy
caused by the retirement of Governor
Charles E. Magoon from the Panama
canal zone will not, it is said, be filled
until after the return of Secretary

sires to 60 over the situation very
thoroughly with the secretary before
reaching any conclusion in the matter
of filling the position.
Governor Magoon filled both the
position of governor and that of Amer
lean minister to Panama. 1t Is under
stood, however, that the president has
under consideration the question of
making some immediate appointment
to these Offices.

would be better off. That being I'M

duce passports they should be placed

Every one has noticed how, when a
large branch of tree is cut Off, small
branches will shoot out around the
stump. These branches are from the

great number at every portion of their
