Investigation showed that Smith,
according to the allegations, had built
submerged pier out into the river
on piles. the tops of which came with
in about a foot of the surface of the
muddy water. On the piles boards
had been placed, by means of which
walking on the water was reduced to
fine and practical art.
It happened that while Smith was
nracticing this miracle in order to
perform it without any chance OF
mishap. some boys, who had sought
the secluded spot for swim, sur
prised him at work They watched
him from hiding, and when he left
they Investigated. Keeping the Sc
cret of their discovery to themselves,
they waited until the day when he
announced that he would repeat the
miracle, and then removed one OF
the boards from the submerged pier
at a point where the water was about
ten feet deep. The prophets in
voluntary bath was the dramatic re-
suit.
The same old history gives another
story of Smiths undOing. He had
declared from his pulpit that his per-
son was divine, and that no one could
with safety lay hands upon him to in
lure or hurt him. Soon after this
rash assertion Smith was passing the
house where lived Nathan Arlington,
young man of a strict inductive
method. He sprang at the prophet,
knocktd him down, and gave him a
bird of a walloping, while Smith
yelled for mercy, and was finally re-
leased much the worse for wear.
Nathan said he simply wanted to
show that Smith was a liar.
Smith had quite vogue in the
vicinity of Alton as caster-out OF
devils. Upon his trial upon the
charge of being an imposter, several
witnesses testified that they had seen
Smith turn the trick. One said he
saw a devil about the size of a wood
chuck leave one of the prophets pa
tients, and run away. Another wit
ness said that a devil he had seen
Smith exercise from one man looked
like a yellow dog when it left it's
victim.
But, of course, this testimony of
the prophets failures and shortcom-
ings is from his home section where
no man can be either hero or sage.
Driven from his own state, he sue

great church that has been power
full enough at times to defy even the
government of the United States.

THESE phenomena always occur in

"ROOLS ARE ROOLS".
But the Dairy Commissioner Won't
Tell What They Are.

Rules for the government of the
dairymen and milk sellers of the state
have been adopted by the state dairy
commission but have not been made
public.
1t is to be the object of the state
dairy commission to give to H. C. Ken
dali, the state dairy commissioner, the
exclusive authority in making public
the rules. Hence the type written
copies of the rules, although prepared
yesterday at the office of F. D. Coburn
at the state house, were, by order of
the dairy commission sent to Mr..
Kendall at Manhattan without being
made public.
These rules are said to deal largely
with the handling of milk and cream
which is delivered to creameries. 1t
seems to be the general purpose of the
state law to regulate the dairymen.
At the meeting of the state dairy COM
mission when the new rules were I'M
der discussion there were present re-
presentati ves from nearly all of the
leading crea meries in this and adjoin-
ing states, but not a single dairyman
was there to state his side of the case.
The creamery interests are well organ
lied, and can look out for themselves.
Hence the tendency of the meeting
was to place the big end of the blame
for poor butter ON the dairymen. The
creamery men were sure they were do
ing their part, but they were equally
sure that the board should issue some
official regulations to compel the farm
ers and cowmen to take better care Of
their cream.
The law seems to be drafted primarily
for the protection of the creamery men.
Section says:
This law shall apply to such farm
ers or dairymen as sell or offer for sale
milk or cream to public diaries, cream
cries, butter OF cheese factories, and in
all cases it shall be unlawful to sell
