KEPT THEIR SUICIDE PACT.
Youth and Girl Leap Into River.
Bodies Not Found.

KEOKUK, Iowa, April 6.-Leaving notes
telling Of a suicide pact. Herman Bart
lett and Belva Pugh jumped together
into the Mississippi river at Alexandria,
Mo-. Sunday night.
The notes, one from each, were found
by the girls mother on a table in the
hall. where they could not be overlooked.
They told exactly where the couple would
jump into the river.
The mother spread the alarm and a
searching party was organized. Young
Bartlett and the girl were tracked to
the bank of the stream and the river
was dragged. but no bodies were found.
Early In the morning the search was re-
sumed. and the river has been dragged
for several miles without result.
Practically the, entire town joined the
searching party, women and children aid
ing the men in dragging the stream
Both Bartlett and Miss Pugh were
members of prominent families. and,
friends say. were to have been married
At first it was thought that the suicide
notes were a blind, or that the couple
had written them a joke, but this
theory is rejected by their parents and
the town authorities. Both left their
jewelry and wraps on the table in the
hall of the girls home. where the notes
were found. Bartletts hat and his money
also were left

Using TAU, China. April 6.-Admiral
Truppel of the German navy, who since
1897 has held the post of governor Of this
city, left today for a six-month holiday
via Dalny and st. Petersburg to Berlin.
The Chinese merchants gave him a great
banouet. as it was believed to be his
farewell to the city. 1t Is probable
that Admiral Truppel will be replaced
next year by civil governor.
Using Tau is situated at the entrance

STRIKING a Comet.

If we ask the effect Of a comets
striking the earth we will readily see
that if the head of the comet were COM
posed of powders a collision would
have disastrous consequences. A rain
of millions of great meteoric stones
would. of course. bring catastrophe.
If, however. it were merely a rain Of
small particles or dust we might never
become conscious Of it, for the parti-
cles would never reach us. They would
be fused into gas through friction with
our atmosphere many miles before
reaching the surface If the gases lib
Grated by friction were in excessive
volume we might suffer discomfort or
even disaster. It is estimated that
hundreds Of millions Of meteoric parti-
cles strike our atmosphere every day
This would be a serious matter if we
were not protected by our great shell
tering envelope of air. Occasionally
meteoric bowlder is large enough to
resist the heat generated by this fric-
ton and reaches the surface. This we
call a meteorite. The now established
connection between comets and me-
teors is a matter of great interest

nChoir.U

Churchgoers who follow the service
in their prayer books would certainly
miss the dear old phrase" concerning
"quires and places where they sing"
and in time the old fashioned "quires"
may be made new fashioned again by
the coming of rationalized spelling
"Choir'' was a most unnecessary out
rage upon the language. The old Eng
lish ''quer" or "quere" became quite
naturally "quyer" or "quire," and so
it remained until the end of the seven
teenth century, when somebody seems
to have introduced "choir'' bcause it
looked more like the French "choeur,"
as if that were valid reason. There
could have been no danger of confus-
ing church ''quire" and squire" Of

French ''cahier," probably from Latin

The cockade originated simply 10 the
knot of ribbons or strings by which
the broad flaps of the seventeenth GEN.
fury round hat were cooked or.
drawn up to the brim In fine weather,
and thus originated the three cornered
hat as well as the cooked hat of later
times. There was nothing specially
military about the usage. as the ig-
norant assert. The same strings sur
vive in the loops of the hats of bishops
and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in
Great Britain, in the strings of the
hats worn by French cures and Span
ish and Italian padres and in the cords
which are still seen on the hats of
some livery servants.
1t naturally became the custom for
military men to ''cock" their hats with
the livery color of the prince they
served, and as the Hanoverian color
was the convenient one of black the
"black cockade" became associated in
the minds of the people with military
uniform. In an old Scotch song Of
Shirramuir, citing "Woodword's Her
aldry," we read Of 1.-The red coat lads
with black cockades," and a knot of
white ribbons was naturally chosen as
the badge Of their opponents. When
the old use Of the strings was forgot
ten the knot, in the form Of rosette
Of ribbon, survived, just as did the
buttons on the backs Of our coats.

Locked Shah In House Of Commons


A shah of Persia, who made a state
visit to England in 1878, had a curl
Gus experience in the distinguished
strangers gallery of the house of COM
mons. He soon got tired of watching
the legislators at work, but when he
made move to go he was told he
could not leave the gallery. 1t hap
pened at that moment that a division
was called, and in accordance with the
practice which then prevailed all the
doors of the house were locked until
the vote was taken. Mr. Gladstone
made an interesting comment on the
incident. cit is" he wrote in his jour
nal. probably, or possibly, the first
time for more than 500 years that a
foreign sovereign has been under per-
sonal restraint of any kind in Eng
land. "-Westminster Gazette.

Especial to the Newark start

CLAYTON, Sept. 1-Fire, of I'M
known origin, destroyed thousands of
dollars worth of property here early
today, and would have swept the entire
town but for the timely assistance of
volunteers from nearby towns and the
townsfolk, including many of the
women, who, leaving their beds, tore
down fences and formed bucket
brigades to check the spread of the
flames.
The flames were discovered shortly
before 8 o'clock issuing from the stor-
age house of the rustic woodworking
establishment of James S. Mapes, and
gained such Roadway that they spread
to two other buildings and a barn on
the same property, completely destroy
ing them, despite the hard work of the
local firemen.
AS soon as the local firemen realized
the magnitude. of their task telephone
messages were sent to Pitman ana

fastened to the scene in record time by
means of relays of horses.

Threat of Disciplinary Meas.
nres' for Careless Militia
Heads.

Prompted by the feeling that there

manner in which militia officers respond

been published by Adiutant-G General
Sadler. prompted by Governor Fort, in
which careless officers are told that II
it ever happens again disciplinary
measures will be used.
Another circular from the division of

corning the safe-keeping and preserva-
ton of supplies, is also published to
the National Guard In this State, show
ing a decided effort to put the affairs
of the militia here In a condition which
more nearly approaches ship-shape.

are stored. 1t also Is signed by order

concerned that hereafter disciplinary meas

neglect.
