For 20 years Lempertz has been a
coal miner. He worked in the mines
Of Germany and America, but a few
years ago he had to give up mining on

duced Next Week.

BLOOMINGTON, H., May 1G.-The
battle for Gel. Tom Smells millions will
be renewed in the De Witt county cir
cult court next week. Judge PhiIbrick,
who is to preside, has issued an order

other county in order to avoid delay in
selecting a jury. All kinds Of rumors
are afoat about the discovery of new
letters and other evidence which may
tend to prove the insanity of the old
man and also that he was unduy influ-
enced The lawyers for Dick Smell, the
disinherited son, are nOncommittaI.

The Explosive Force of Water.

Water, looked upon as the tamest of
liquids, is as great an explosive as
dynamite, under certain conditions. In
one day water breaks up more earth
and rock than all the gunpowder, gun
cotton and dynamite in the world do
in year. These explosives can be
controlled by human agency, but water
does not hold itself accountable to man.
1t runs into the ground, freezes, ex-
pands and splits the soil into little
pieces. Finding a crack in a huge
rock, it repeats the same process,
forcing it asunder. If frozen in the
pores of a tree it often explodes with
a report like a gunshot and the force
of a dynamite bomb.-Dundee Adyer-
