A number of stories are circulat ting con-
corning the incidents surrounding Father
Johns death at Cronstadt. 1t is reported
that large sums of money disappeared
from his house during his closing hours,
and that at the very end an abbess held
the unconscious priests hand and traced
his signature on will bequeathing his
property to her institution.
After his death a great part Of the
money contributed by his followers
throughout Russia and large collection
of unset gems were found scattered aim
Iessly throughout the rooms of his resi-
dence
The people of Cronstadt, foreseeing the
ultimate canoniZation of Father John and
harvest of aims from pilgrims at his
burial shrine protested against the inter
ment at ST Petersburg and raised an out
cry about the cathedral before the re-
moval of the body to the capital.

Kenrney friends Can speed Up.

KEARNEY, Neb., Aug. 25.-(specisl)-
Kearney's city council met Monday even
ing and took action on the speed ordinance.
The present ordinance limits the speed of
the automobile to six miles per hour and
this was thought too slow travelling. A new
ordinance was drawn up and passed which
will place the limit at ten miles per hour.
Mayor Patterson argues that there is no
more Danger from a swift flying machine
than a slow running car and that there
are just as as many accidents to pedes-
TRANS with slow running machines as fast
ones.

FA1RBURY MAN IN BIG LUCK
Draws Claim in Two of the North

FAIRBURY, Neb., Aug. 25.-(Special)-
If the horoscope OF Ed Mcconnell OF Fair
bury should be written It would un-
doubtedly show tina he was born under
one Of the luckiest stars that wrinkles.
An example of a lucky streak was shown
in the recent government land drawing.
During the registration period Mr.. Neon
nell made a trip to the northwest with his
family and while on the way the thought
occurred to him that it wouldn't be out Of
place to register in Uncle Sans lottery.
His name was recorded at all three Of the
drawings, but he thought nothing more
about the matter until a day or two before
the first district drawing was started.
Then he casually wondered If he would
be one of the fortunate ones. And sure
enough, among the second days list was
included Edward Mcconnell. Fairbury,
Neb.
But the Occur d'Alene district was even
more generous with him and his name was
No. 100. 1t is estimated that this tract of
land is worth at least $4,000 as it stands
today.
The third drawing had no gifts for the
lucky Nebraskan and some of his friends
are wondering what could have happened
to break the spell.
Mr.. Mcconnell has not said which dis
trict he intends to select his claim in. but
it is altogether probable that the No. 100
will be his choice.
