heaven! but it will be rare sport to
break that fiery spirit! 1t will make

Something white and shadowy bound
his path. A spectral hand was laid on
his arm, chilling like ice, ever through
his clothing. The CHASTITY face of a
woman-a face framed in jet black hair
and lit up by great black eyes bright
as stars, glanced through the mirk of
the night.
The man gazed into the weird face,
and shook like a leaf in the blast. His
arm sank nerveless to his side, palsied
by that frozen touch. his voice was so
unnatural that he started at the sound.
My God! Arabel We're! Do the
dead come back?"
The great unnaturally brilliant eyes
seemed to burn into his brain. The
cold hand frightened on his arm. A
breath like wind freighted with snow
crossed his face.
Speak, for heavens sake" he cried.
"Am dreaming?"
Remember the banks of the Seine!"
said a s%ingularly sweet voice, which
sounded to Mr.. Paul Linmere as if it
came from leagues and leagues away.
When o sit by the side of the living
love. remember the dead! Think of
che dark rolling river, and of what it's
waters covered"
He started from the strange pres
ence, and caught at a post for support.
His self-possession was gone; he trem-
bled like the most abject coward. Only
for a moment-and then, when he
looked again, the apparition had van
ished.
Good God!" he cried, putting his
hand to his forehead. do the dead
indeed come back? l saw them take
her from the river-Oh. heaven! l saw
her when she sank beneath the ter
rible waters! Is there a hereafter, and
does a man sell his soul to damnation
who commits what the world calls mur-
der?"
He stopped under a lamp and drew
out his pocketbook, taking therefrom a
soiled scrap Of paper.
Eyes, I have it here. Found drowned,

We're, indeed! Pshaw! Paul Linmere,
you are an idiot"
Not daring to cast a look behind him
he hurried home, and up to his spacious
parlor on the second floor.
Linmere turned up the gas into a
fare, and, throwing off his coat, flung
himself into an armchair and wiped
the perspiration from his forehead. He
looked about the room with half fright
ened, searching eyes. He dreaded soli-
tude, and he feared company, yet felt
the necessity Of speaking to some one.
His eye lighted on the greyhound doz-
ing on the hearth rug.

responsive wag of the tail. You saw

HISTORICAL RELICS.
An Interesting Department OF the
Oskaloosa Public Library.

Cit;zens of Oskaloosa have many
reasons to be proud Of the CROWN OF
the public library patronage aad inc
steady development of good lpasy
feeling in the town. But there IS one
department of the work which mas NOT
attracted the attention which II Do
serves. This is the museum. Since
the completion of the upper story OF
the building there are shelves and
cabinets for the purpose OF displaying
and caring for specimens OF all kinds
and for historical relics. Not great
many of either kind are placed asyet.
Perhaps the most interesting rehc
along the historical line is the cabi-
net collection of American authors
homes and letters. These are placed
in the delivery room and are FREQ to
the inspection of the public. The
collection was made by ex-SupeIlr-
tendent Chas. A. Kelt.
| Up stairs we have the first bell
used on an 0skaloosa church. IL
was brought here from Keokuk in
1S45 and was hung in the Cumberland
| Presbyterian church. 1t is said that
the bell was hung in the wagon SO
that with every step of the oxen 1t
swung to and fro and announced the
onward march of civilization across
the virgin prairies- The late d. Nj.
Walton preserved it and it was pre-
sented to the library by him. Anoth-
er bell of great historical interest Is
a COW bell presented by Oliver
Vance. This bell was obtained by
Mr.. Vance's father and his two bro
theirs in Burlington in 1S43. These
pioneers had dug a load Of coal-Ma-
haska's first load of coal-and haufed
it to Burlington for sale. They could
find no purchaser, and finally traded
the load for COW bells.
] A small coin collection is on the
museum shelves and some others are
still to be placed. Mr.. John A. Kali
bach was the donor of these.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago. Jan. 26.--The Black Dfa,
mond today says; SALES agents AMI
operators are still looking this week
for bedrock on which to place the
market. Prices are constantly fiiiotu-
ating and change with every new OF
fer or bid. Bidding, however, is rare
as the supply of most of the classes
of coal is greater than the demand.
The feature of the week is the IN
creased demand for smokeless mine
run. In some cases this size OF coal
is bringing premium of ffses1 cents
The accentuated demand 81 tidewatsr,
together with washouts throughout
Ohio, have mitigated the supply ofthfs
product coming into the Chicago mar
ket. This has tende1 to make the
market strong. However, this does
not characterize the state Of the mar
ket on egg and lump. When the
slump in prices came last week many
operators closed down their mines
and this condition, together with him
ORANGES owing to the flood, will great
ly relieve the market Of an oversup-
ply of coal in the near future. Prices
are therefore firmer, which no doubt
is more due to the cold weather than
the curtailment of the supply. lndi,
ana and Illinois Goals are weak.
Springfield lump is very weak and has
sold as low as S1.75."

SECOND BIG FIRE
RACES IN PERRY
LOSS ESTIMATED AT FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AN TUSCALOOSA BOY INVOLVED
Clint oidham's Marble Works in the
Path of the Flames-Several
Firms Are Badly
Scorched.

Perry, Ia, San. ga fire that
started at 2:SU this morning, ragged for
nearly an hour, threatened great de
st-uction but was finally subdued
with property loss of about $4,000
The flames started on the west side OF
the triangle, in a row of brick two and
three story store buildings. The
whole row, consisting of eight store
fronts, seems destined to be wiped
out by flames. The efforts of the 10
cal fire department, aided by change
in the direction of the wind, were
awaiting. however, and the threaten
ed great loss was cut down to a min
imum.
The fire started in restaurant and
candy kitchen operated by E. n
Umphenour, who recently moved here
from Des Moines. When discovered
the entire building was in flames. AL
the business houses in the block were
more or less damaged, but none of the
losses are complete.
Those sustaining damage are:
Cooperative Grocery store, G. E.
Melick, proprietor .
Capin & Son, harness and hard.
ware.
E. N Umpheaour, restaurant and
candy kitchen.
Buckley Bros, dry goods.
The Aubrey livery.
Perry Model Laundry.
George Stamp, machine shop.
Clint Oldham, marble works.
Perry Bowling Alley.
The Ainley jewelry store.
Eagles Hall, which occupies the
two upper floors of the three-sto-y
section of this brick row.
Oldham's loss will not be large, ow-
ing to the nature of his business, but
his office was damaged, and some
valuable papers and books los'd
Perry is Unfortunate.
Perry has been unusually unfo-tu-
nate in its frequent fires. In 1897
Second street, the main business
street, was vfsitedEb by destructive
fire. which wiped out all of the stores
for distance of'over block On both
sides of the street.
On Dec. &c fire visited the Glenn
ents block, an imposing two-story
structure at the northeast side of the
triangle, and totally destroyed it.
The origin of he fire tnis morning
is unknown.
The Des Moines department was no
titled, but as the fire was brought IN
der partial control, Chief Knell sent
word that help was not necessary.
