HAS FOUNDATION IN ROCK
Remarkable Church in German Town
Around Which There Linger
Superstitious Tales.

In the quaint old German town OF
Oberstein an ancient church stands,
built in the great rock rising from the
river. The front of the building is of
stone. but the church itself is hol-
lowed out of the rock and penetrates
far into its heart. Tradition says that
in The fourteenth century the count
of Oberstein, one of the old rObber
barons. fell deeply in love with a
beautiful young lady. the daughter of
a ne%ighboring knight. His brother
also sought the fair maiden's hand
and the two suitors had a violent
quarrel. The upshot was that the
count flung his hapless brother from
the top of his castle wall, high up
the preeipitous cliff. Repeating of his
awful deed, the count vowed that he
would build a church where his broth
ers body first touched the ground.
He did so. %eXcavating the church in
the rock, and tradition goes ON to say

church is now the only Protestant

Houses of Corncobs.

In certain parts of Europe eorncobs
are utilized for building purposes. The
cobs are taken to a factory. where
heavy congresses crush and mold
them into blocks of various sizes, just
as bricks are variously nodded. These
blocks are then bound with wire so as
to make them hold together. They
are then soaked in tar in order that
they may be w~atertight, and, after this
last operation, they are ready for the
market.
This product is. of course, much
lighter than brick; and they are al
ways dry. which cannot be said of the
brick. 1t is said hat the corncob con-
struction affords a good house for the

We saw with II own sober eye on
Wednesday of last week the double,
headed young rattlesnake caught a
couple of weeks ago on an island in
Buck Greek swamp by Messrs. Hair

rattlesnake, some six or seven inches
long, about the size of the largest part
of the body of a pipestem and beau,

fully developed. There was a little

The people are the government and
the Falls City administration of the
past is just what II was, because the
people were what they were. When
form there will be reform, as has
been so clearly demonstrated In Kan

places. Mayor Keeling and his oun

for the dissatisfaction Is general, The
question is what can we do to inn

election It was the fear of making

from voting for a change and not any

a drag on the progress of reform.
We want certain improvements and
we want them quickly. Not only do
the people want them, but the mayor
and councilmen also. How may we
succeed In comprising their accom-
plishment without waiting for anoth-
err election? Mayor Keeling believes
he is true to the majority. Like IL
president, Mr.. Taft, he thinks he is
serving the people. Its not true,
however, and the people are begin
ming to protest. The truth Of the
matter is that these men are serving
their advisors. They are being bias
ed by their little circle of eonfiden-
tial friends. The way to get a hear
ing is 10 make yourself one of the
mayors advisors. It's your business
and your duty. Don't stand off and
growi because the other fellow has
gotten an audience, but wade in and
make yourself heard. If every free
holder in Falls City will do this, CON
ditions in Falls City will change
