KILLED IN THE PHILIPPINES
Some "Details of Murder of the Me-
braska Woman

Crete.-Details have just been re-
ceived here concerning the murder Of
Miss Anna Hahn a teacher in the
American school at Bantangas, Phil
lipine Islands, which occurred on the
night of January 20 last in her room
in Bantangas.
1t seems that Miss Hahn had been
reading in her room and had laid aside
her book, sheathed her glasses and
had risen to her feet when the first
blow was struck above the temple.
She was also beaten over the head
many times with blunt instrument
The body was found the next morn
ing. Her large steamer trunk was
found in field near the house
broken open, but little of value was
taken.
Miss Hahn went from here to Ma.
lila in 1901 and had been continu-
ously in educational work in the

IOWA HELPS THE CORN SHOW.
Joins Hands With Omaha to Push
Alonu the Great Enterprise.

Along the Great Enterprise.
Iowa and Nebraska have joined
hands in an effort to promote the
greatest corn exposition on record,
to be held in Omaha on December 10
to 10, 1908. Iowa is interested in
the fact that Council Bluffs and
Omaha are jointly backing this great
enterprise, and because Iowa has a
dominate interest in corn, which
product 1t grows more than any other
state.
In a proclamation Governor A. B.
Cummins says "The development
of agricultural science during the
last decade Is the most remarkable
characteristic of the times. be-.
lieve the growth of knowledge with
respect to agriculture has in this
period added more to the material
wealth of the country than has re-
suited from any other branch of
learning and the fortunate thing is
that not only has it added wealth,
but farm life has been wonderfully
beautifled and clothed with a new
interest"
In order to enlist the cooperation
Of the people of Iowa and to insure
an adequate exhibition of Iowa corn
and other cereals at this national ex-
position, of which j. Wilkes Jones Is
the general manager, the following
commission of prominent business
men, farmers and agricultural au-
thorities was appointed: Prof. p. G.
Holden, chairman, representing the
Iowa state college; Charles A. Cam
eron, president of the Iowa state fair;
John Cownie, state board of control;
Henry Wallace of the Wallace Farm
err; e. e. Favill, editor of Successful
Farming; James Atkinson, editor of
the Iowa Homestead; Asa Turner
president of the Iowa Corn Growers
association; Melborn McFarlin, George
White and F. H. Hopping.

WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH.
Hypnotism, Not Drowsiness, Declared
to Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church.
They undergo an hypnotic trance.
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
Influences, and that is why the pews
resemble railroad track in the
abundance of their sleepers."
The speaker, a hypnotist, banged
the table vehement,y.
Don't laugh" he said. cts true.
Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve sound waves are
passed to your brain that are as eff
.ective as though professional hyp-
notist had made them. Sound, you
know, is the newest and best hyp-
motto.
'At first, in the church service, the
periodicity of the wave alterations is
short. There is little speaking,
then more music. And just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man, in modulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks on and on and on
and you begin to nod. You are, hyp-
notically speaking, entranced.
THE average church service is
scientifically correct hypnotic instru-
ment. No wonder, then, it puts many
of us to sleep"

said, with an inscrutable smile.

CHAPTER XI.
"You Are-the Boss"


She held out her left hand with a
sad little smile. 1T is good of you to
come so soon,' she said simply.
She had begged so earnestly to sit
up that Mrs. White had improvised an
invalid's chair out OF a huge old rocker
and cracker box. 1t did very well.
Then she had partially clothed the
girl in n skinny wrapper of the sort
Langford abominated, throwing a
mans silk handkerchief where the
wrapper failed to meet, and around
the injured arm. Mrs. White had
then recalled her husband from the
stables where he was on the point Of
mounting to join the relief party that
was to set off in search OF Wiliston
at 10 o'clock. The starting point unan-
mously agreed upon was to be the
pitiful remnants OF Williston's home.
Men shook their heads obviously
whenever the question of possible
leading trail was preached. The soil
was hard and dry from an almost
rainless July and August. The fugi-
tives might strike across country any
where with meager chances of their
trail being traced by any.
Mrs. White and her husband, kindly
souls both, lifted the girl as gently as
might be from the bed to the rudely
constructed invalids chair by the sit
ting-room window. Then they left
her-the woman to putter around her
kitchen, the man to make good his
appointment. But the eXertion had
been TO much for Mary She had

GLAD TO HAVE HIM GO.
Toll-Gate Keeper Thought He Had
Visit from His Satanic Majesty.

This is not the only age in which
motor cars have created excitement
and disturbance. In 1902 such appari-
tons were few and far between; at
present they are too frequent to at
tract attention. Mr.. Joseph Hatton, liz
"Old Lamps and New" tells OF the
fright caused by one Of Treyithick's
steam locomotives, made to run on
unrailed roads in the early part of the
last century.
Now and then one of these extraor-
binary vehicles would be encountered,
snorting and putting on the highway.
The countrymen regarded them as the
evil one in disguise.
One of the cars, coming to a toll
gate, stopped for the gate to be
opened. The toll-man came hurrying
out. He flung the gate open with
trembling hands, and teeth which
chartered audibly.
The driver asked him how much toll
there was to pay.
20, nothing. dear Mr.. Satan, moth
ing!" hastily assured the man, Go
on as fast as you like; there's nothing
to pay."-Youth's Companion.

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

AS old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made Of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the bran.coat of the wheat, are in

policyholders of the company for a

satisfied liabilities of the company.
All the solvent policyholders, to the
number of about 500, are made de-
PENDANTS in the case and the amount
of the assessment on eeach one var
les from 81 to $50. as the total liabil-

assessment be levied on the policy
holders to make good the liabilities.
