Mysterious disappearances always Probably to the end of time there will be persons who believe that they know what became of the French dauphin, who, but for the revolution, would have been Louis XVII. Others will maintain that the official record of his death is correct. The fate of Arch duke John of Austria is likely to re main as uncertain as that of the dauphin The archduke renounced his royal claims several years ago, and sailed from London for South America under the name of John Orth. Nothing definite has since been heard of him or of his ship although he has been reported as living in one part of the world or another, says Youths Com panion. These reports have always been unverifed That the emperor Francis Joseph, the head of the family, thinks his kinsman may still be living was disclosed in a lawsuit in Switzer- land not long ago. when, in response to inquiries by the court, it was an- nounced that the emperor had ordered that the fortune of Archduke John, amounting to $S,OO0,O00 be kept intact till 1917, when it may be divided among the heirs.

In the discharge of this duty he should maintain an individual &C., Quaintance with members of the con gregation, listen to whatever they com municate, and by counsel assist them. He should be accessible to all, sympa- thize in sorrow and in joy, and help them bear their burdens. Scrupulous attention should be given the poor and the sick, and the clergyman should be in such relation to reputable physi- cians and surgeons as to direct those who require advice; he must also have the entree to hospitals.

With The Legislators
House Votes to Dust Mann.

The concurrent resolution providing for the discharge of George K. Mann as architect of the new state capitoi, introduced in the House, was adopted by that body after strenuous nght which lasted throughout the entlre day. The adoption of the resolution by a vote of 46 to 42 closed the hard est fought battle the House has seen this session, battle which was won' practically all legislators conceded, Dy the individual efforts of one man, Rep resentative Tillman B. Parks or La fayette, the only man who spoke Ill favor of the resolution from the tune il was introduced until the final vote was taken and who spoke for for'y minutes. closing the debate.
 Old and tried members of the House who have witnessed many battles OH the floor of the north chamber esIl- mated that there were not Zo votes in favor of MT. Parks resolution when he took the floor. The same men oiu not hesitate in saying that the re mainder of votes, or the other 2o' were brought over to the resolution by the author of the measure ln ms closing appeal.
 MT Parks denounced Mir Mann ana declared that he had been for the lh- terests of Caldwell & Drake agalhsl those of the state throughout the en- tire history of the capitol. lie urseu that the House choose the state In question of defending either the state or the man. He attacked the argu- ment that Mir. Mann had good bona by declaring that good bond dld not count for much in litigation. He de- clared that he believed the resolution would hold good and ridiculed those who would keep MT. Mann rather than have lawsuit.
 He spoke in a quiet, matter-offact manner during the greater part or ms speech. It was seen at the start that he intended to fight with matter-ol- fact argument. and not by resortlng to elouuence. He went over the mat ter from start to finish, replying 10 the argument of each man who had opposed him, and when he concluded he was given the only ovation gwen any of the speakers at the close o1 their speeches.
 The close attention paid MT. Parks during his speech and the ovation at the close appeared significant to the spectators who filled the gallery and lobby throughout the afternoon. The significance developed when the roll call started. and long before the clerk had reached the middle of the roll call 1t was seen that the speech of MT. Parks had brought about decided
 
 change in the situation.

House Disapproves Proposed Changes
 Two measures of statewide import ance were defeated in the House we'd nesday. but not until after vigorous defense of each. One was the meas ure by MT. Cartwright of Stone County providing for the general dis tribution of the common tax levleo upon railroads: the other was Dill by MT. Hurst of Washington providing for the right of cities and incorporated towns to use within their respective corporate limits four-fifths of the road tax levied in the city, and the re maining one-fourth to be expended in the same township as that in which the town or city is located
 MT Hurst spoke in defense Of the bill urged that the original intent of the present law was to effect Jusl what he intended to have his Dlil secure, but that owing to a laXnesss ol the provisions of the law the county judges could, and. in many instances, he declared, did defeat the purpose or the law by eXpending funds raised III one township in some other township and generally transferring road tax funds where they pleased.
 On a final vote, the resolution lost but the vote was much closer than would have evidently been the case had the measure been pressed to a vote a week ago. at which time 1t would almost certainly have been overwhelmingly voted down. It hac gained considerable favor during the past few days.
