 White Channel gravel can be milled at a profit and that profit will be greater than can be made by hydraulicking. The reason being that the gold occurs in and gold held in the rocks themselves. By hydraulic methods only the first of these can be recovered, while by milling a high recovery of all three can be made.

DOUBT ADAM AND EVE.
Three Young Ministers VIII Strike 9
Snag When They Appear For
Ordination.

NEW YORK, July because they
have expressed doubts of the stories
of Adam and Eve, Jonah and the
whale and some of the miracles mar
rated in the Bible. three young Pres
byterian theological students will
probably have hard shedding when
they appear today before the New
York Presbytery for ordination as
ministers.
Although the Presbytery has al
ready granted licenses to the doubt
ers. the conservative ministers are
much dissatisfied with that action
and will probably attempt to reopen
the matter at today's ordination cere-
monies. The applicants will be ques-
toned at great length as to their the
illogical views by men opposed to
them, and if the replies are not sat
isfactory and the young men stand
by their heretical opinions, a long
and bitter fight may result.

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR
July 7.
IVAN STEPHANOVICH.

Two hundred and sixty five years
ago Ivan Stephanovich, the gallant
hetman of the Cossacks, was born in
Mazepintzi, and his birthday possesses
peculiar significance because of the
fact that the 200th anniversary of the
battle of PultoWa, in which he played
a leading part will be celebrated in
Russia tomorrow.
Mazeppa was descended from a poor
but noble family of Podolia, and began
life as a page at the court of King
John of Poland. A Polish nobleman
having surprised him in intrigue with
his wife, caused him to be stripped
naked and bound on his own horse,
lying on his back and with his head
to the animals tail. Through the
woods and thickets the horse carried
the battered and bleeding Mazeppa to
his own home, where he recovered, and
thereafter remained a gentleman OF
exemplary morals
After this escapade, Mazeppa joined
the COssacks, and in 1857 was elected
their hetman. He won the confidence of
Peter the Great, who loaded him with
honors and made him Prince of the
Ukraine Later, however, Peter cur
tailed the liberties of the Cossacks,
and Mazeppa headed an uprising with
the idea of throwing off the sover-
eighty of the ear
He entered into negotiations with
Charles XII. of Sweden, and that mon
arch, fresh from his brilliant victo-
ries over the soldiers of the car, con-
sented to take part in the rebellion OF
the Cossacks. The battle of PultoWa,
on July 8. 1909, marked the turning
point in the fortunes of the Swedish
king. who witnessed from litter the

Des Moines, Ia, June ga poem
may open the doors Of the Iowa Pen
itentiary and give freedom to one
who was once condemned to die and
is now held for life imprisonment.
The writer Is the one behind the iron
bars-the one condemned. He is
known as John Null and Is a mulat-
to. He was convicted Of helping
shoot three white men who pursued
him and two other men after they
had robbed the Greenville Bank in
Clay county.
Mystery surrounds Null. Soon az
ter his term began In 1902 he at
tr@tted attention of the prison au-
thoriues by his poems. He declines
to disclose his parentage or tell any
thinC of himself. Soon it was dis
covered he speaks five languages.
Cne day woman with little girl
called to see him.. They were ad-
mitted. But they and the prisoner
refused to diyulge what their asso-
Citations had been. The woman and
child have come many times to see
Null. Her residence cannot be learn
ed. Null admits he is not an Iowa
man.
Admirers Ask His Freedom.
His sole entertainment is to write
the poetry that is daily spreading his
reputation and already many re-
qnests have been made to the pardon
officials to open the doors and set the
singer free.
Listen to this song, entitled His
wife," and printed by the prisoner
recently with several others of his
poems:

is hedged by towering walls,
And black across my, humble name
