The Siciiiaa Prince of yalgnanera a.
the beginning OF the last century was
monomaniac of rare description.
he succeeded 10 one OF the largest for
tunes in Europe. his habits were stndi-
Gus aud economical, lie had no chill
dren. but in spite of these advantages
for saving money he eontrived 10 ruin
himself. The prince had a fancy for
erotesque statues, with which he adorn-
ed the stately mansion of his forefa-
tiers. Many descriptions of the place
are exiant. for il was renowned
throughout Europe in its day. Bry-
done visited it, and he has left Us
pleasant picture. Approaching by
noble avenue. one found the palace
encircled by an army" of monsters.

agination which created them is not
less astonishing than its wonderful
fertility" says Brydone. Some We're
compound of five or six animals
which have no resemblance in nature.
In one instance the head of a lion was
set upon the neck of a goose, with the
body of 4 lizard, the eyes of Il goat
and the tail of a fox. Upon the back
of this object stood another with five
or six heads and a grove of horns.
There is no kind OF horn in the world

OF such horrors there were 600 in
the avenue and courtyard alone when
Brydone saw the collection, and the
prince maintained q regiment Of sculp
tors who We're rewarded proportion
ately to their success in designing new
and unparalleled combinations. The
effect upon a superstitious pcasantry
may be imagined. SO serious was the
agitation that the government of Sicily
threatened 10 demolish the wonderful
array several times. but prince OF
Nalguanera was not to be offended in
those days without the gravest cause.
Matrons of Palermo would not take
their drives in that direction, fearing
dire results. The inside of the house
was eccentric in another fashion.

China was rare and fine in Sicily "a

Good Buying of Corn.

The corn market was higher, partly
in sympathy with wheat and oats and
partly because of excellent buying by
commission houses. The failure of
the predicted frosts in the Northwest
was also factor for higher figures.
Pit traders and commission houses
were active buyers of oats at the
opening. Trading was in large vol
ume, and the only sales in evidence
seemed to be those made by bulls who
wished to realize on profits.

Attorney General Moody, whose resig-
nation will become effective about the

ruary.
For one of the vacancies to be cr@-
ated the President will name George

Russia, but for the other he is not
ready to announce a successor.
Mr. Roosevelt has sought TO prevail

net, but the latter, because of business
arrangements he has made, has found
it impossible to do so. He also would
like to have Secretary Bonaparte take
Mr.. Moody's place when the latter re-
tires, but the former prefers the posi-
ton at the head of the Navy Depart
ment, with whose workings he has be-
come thoroughly familiar. Some sug.
gestions have been made that Secre.
tary Metcalf of the Department of
Commerce and Labor take one of the
positions 10 he made vacant in the pro

Havana.-The alacrity with which
the rebels are laying down their arms
to the commission appointed to super
intend that important phase of the ter
mination of the revolution is the great
est surprise the provisional govern
ment has encountered in its smooth
working program
This operation is now well under
way in the vicinity of Havana, 700 of
Guelra's men, with their horses, hav-
ing already been entrained for Pinar
Del Rio, while one brigade marched to
Guanajay Wednesday without a sign
of disorder
Hundreds of persons from Havana
went out 10 Santiago De Las Vegas and
Rincon Wednesday to view the disarm-
ament. They were disappointed at not
seeing the rebels actually surrender
their guns. but nevertheless they wit
messed an interesting sight.
AS concession to the men General
Funston and Maor Ladd permitted
them to take their arms to Pinar Del
Rio, where most of the men Joined the
insurgent army The rifles, however.
were first counted by officers of ma
rines under the direction of Major
Ladd and the men will be required
to surrender them before leaving tho
train at Pinar Del Rio.
The marines sent to Pinar Del Rio
last night were prepared to enforce
the order hnt Jich cd
rebels dispersed quietly to their homes.
General Guerra had promised that
1000 men would be ready for entrain,
ment to-day, but the preparation of the
muster rolls required so much time as
to delay them The remainder of Guer
ra's men will be marched to Guanajay
and other near by points in Pinar Del
Rio province as rapidly as the muster
rolls are prepared.
According to the testimony OF an
American named Harvey. formerly
Roosevelt rough rider, who has been
with the insurgents. the amount of act
ual fighting during this revolution was
really very small. Harvey says that
most of the fighting he had seen was
between game cocks About ten per
cent. of Guerra's men carried fighting
cocks tied to their saddles.
The revolutiopists encamped at vari-
GUS points along the line were all will
ing to disarm and disband, believing
thoroughly in the honorable intention
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft. The speech delivered by Gov
ernor Taft before the University of
Havana has been received with great
satisfaction by both the revolutionists
and the government party in Santa
Clara province.
Governor Taft has received dis
patch that the threatened disturbances
in Cienfuegos have been obviated by
the Withdrawal of the insurgents from
that city.

PLATTEvlLLE RESERVOIR.
Large Lake to Be Formed Near
PlatteviIlc.

ley.-lncorporation papers have
been filed by the Platteville Reservoir
Company to build reservoir three
miles east of Platteville, with capac-
ity of 500,OO0,000 cubic feet. to cos>
100000, and from which $4,000 acres
will draw a water supply.
The reservoir will deliver water to
the English. the Bucker and Farmers
Independent bitches. and new ditch
will also be constructed by the COM
pany to carry water 10 lands lying
above the bitches now there. !
The reservoir site covers 600 acres
in natural depression, about a part
of which dam thirty-five feet high
and one mile long will be built.
The money to build the reservoir
will be furnished by eastern capitalists
and the farmers whose land it will
benefit are not asked to subscribe to-
wards construction. However, they
will be allowed to purchase reservoir
rights, 100000 of which have already
been purchased.
The officers Of the company are all
Greeley men James Houseman is
president, V. G., Kindred, secretary and
Frank Madden, treasurer. In three
weeks grading will begin on the reser-
voir and The work pushed with all
speed.
The country near Platteville, which
the country will water, has always
been handicapped for sufficient late
water to use on crops, and as a conse7
quence yields there have not been, OF
TIE best. This section has an unusu-
ally fertile soil and with the antici-
pated water supply may compete with
others in growing potatoes, beets and
