To Th.t City.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Rome, Aug. 19-Rumors that the
epidemic of cholera, which has broken
out in Apulia had spread to Rome,

infected regions that Queen Helena
will insist upon following him.

KILLED COON FOR
STEALING FOWLS
A. e. HARRISON Put Quietus on Thief
That Had Been Robbing His
Hen Roost.

A. e. HARRISON has gained some no.
toriety by reason of having killed
chicken thief which had been robbing
his hen roosts, and the further fact
that he will not be called upon by the
courts to explain the why and where
fore of his deed.
Recently Mr.. HARRISON has noticed
that several of his fowls were miss
ing, and, believing they were be-
ing stolen, decided to sit up and watch
for the thief. He loaded his shotgun
and got ready for the nocturnal prowl-
er, and did not have to wait long be-
fore there was something doing.
Hearing the fowls make noise as
if everything was not just as it should
be, Mr. HARRISON took the gun and
proceeded towards the hen house.
He had not gone far before he no.
ticed something unusual on the top
of the house, and, upon going nearer,
discovered the object to be a large
raccoon. 1t took Mr.. HARRISON only
short time to dispose of the animal
and an examination of the premises
disclosed the fact that the coon had
killed hen, but had dropped it when
Mr.. HARRISON approached.
The raccoon was weighed and tip
ped the scales at 25 pounds.

PROHIBITION CRADLE
Will Be ABANDONED
(Bp Associated PreSs.)

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 19.-Never
again will religious services be held
in the old First Methodist church, an
edifice here known throughout the
State as the Cradle of Prohibition"
Recently fire destroyed part of the
structure and the church trustees
have decided to abandon 1t.
In the early "70s" the prohibition
movement, which eventually drove
saloons out of Kansas, was given birth
in the church. A saloon just across
the street kept open on Sundays, its
owner defying the church members
to make him close. His defiant atti-
tude caused the members Of the
church to start the first prohibition
campaign in the State. =

whole. Such expression as pleasure

OF the term from the fact that all auto
