to building properties.
According to the telegraph and
telephone people, they haven't had as
much trouble with crippled wires
since the memorable snow and ice
storm that swept the Middle Atlantic
States when President Taft was in
augurated, On March 4, 1909.
A remarkable storm that struck
Baltimore destroyed communication
with that city for both Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies,
which lost all their wires between
Philadelphia and Baltimore. Exchange
of news between Washington and
New York was paralyzed, and 1t was
carried on by roundabout routes,
and then only with the greatest diff
Guilty.
Evening newspapers had to get
along without baseball scores, and
even the news from the national cap
ital was held up.
Storms swept over Syracuse and
other upstate points and communica-
ton was practically cut off.
AS for the newspapers, conditions
were much the same last night as ex-
listed before the days Of telegraphy.
The big Pennsylvania railroad
system felt the shock of the light
ming flashes, for it's wires went out
of business along with the others be-
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The storm in Baltimore was said
to be the worst In many years. Hall
and a terrific wind made life out OF
doors miserable and great damage
was done tt houses and other proper
ty, as we'll as to the wires. The area
damaged extends from C~ockeysyille
at the north, Green Spring Valley at
the west, to Baltimore.
Philadelphia.-The worst storm in
years swept W Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. With
wires down on all sides, the reports
are meagre, but from those received
the loss Of life may be large, and the
property loss will probably exceed ST.

WAR ON PHOSSY JAW
FrightfuI Disease That Attacks
the Match Workers.
Caused by the Absorption Of Phos.
phorous Through the Teeth or
Gums and Agonizing Death
Often Results.

Washington.-In 1909 the American
cooperation with the United States
bureau of labor, Investigated the
match industry in America, and in
May, 1910, the result was published
in Bulletin SO of the bureau of labor.
The investigation showed that
"phossy jaw" has attacked large num-
bers Of match workers, and that IS
per cent. of all employed In the match
industry are liable to contract the
disease. while 95 per cent. of the
women, and SO per cent. of the chill
dren are so exposed. And the list
Of victims Is growing month by
month.
The disease is caused by the ABSORB
ton of PHOSPHORUS through the teeth
or gums. Infiamm alton Is set lp,
which extends along the Jaw, killing
the teeth and bones. The gums be-
come swollen and purple, the teeth
loosen and drop out, and the jaw
bones decompose, passing away in
~nauseating pus, which sometimes
breaks through the neck in the form
of an abscess. or oozes into the
mouth.
When the disease is once estab
lished, a surgical operation is usually
the only means of arresting it. En-
tire jaws have been cut out, and agon-
izing deaths occasionally result. The
stencil from the decomposing bones
is in~describable, and Is SO nauseating
that dentists and physicians alike

CIPHER GUIDES
TEMPLE HUNT
Finnish Scholar Found Hint Of
Secret in Bible.
RICH TREASURE HIDDEN
Way to Secret Hiding Place Under
Mosque In Jerusalem Disclosed by
Scrlptures-Explorers Make
Discoveries.

London.-Further light has been
shed on the secret cipher that is sup
posed to have led the English syndi-
cate under Captain Parker to begin
excavations under the Mosue OF
Omar, in Jerusalem, q labor that re-
suited recently In the unearthing OF
valuable Biblical antiquities.
DR.. Walter H. Juvelius of Helsing,
fors, Finland, in the course OF MS
Biblical studies, found traces OF what
he believed to be q complicated
cipher, which was In part used in the
Hebrew texts. He turned to the Tai
mud and found there, in the Book Of
Mischna, an indication that, hidden
In the Book o. Ezekiel and in certain
of Moses's books, were valuable sac
red secrets. In his continued search
he found in Ezekiel, in cipher, a de-
scription of a secret hiding place In
Jerusalem. In order to check the In
formation DR.. Juvelius turned his at
tention tt the books Of Moses, as q
consequence Of the hint in the Tai
mud that they also contained infor-
nation in the same cipher and bear
ing on the situation Of the hiding
place. In Deuteronomy the doctor
found futher descriptions of the hid
ing place, and still more proof is said
to have been found in the fragments
known as the Book of Jesu zen Sy~
rak.
The information conveyed in the
cipher was:
/. That there was a secret hiding
place In the rayon of Mount Orphel,
certainly containing the Tables OF the
Law, the Temple Archives and the
Temple Treasures.
2. That this hiding place was con-
nected with the Blood Canal used for
the carrying off Of the blood of the
sacrificial offerings in the Temple.
8. That this hiding place was in
connection also with David's City. 1t
is not stated in the cipher that the
Blood Canal and David's City were In
direct communication, though this Is
probable.
4. That David's City was on Mount
Orphel.
s. That the immediate entrance to
the treasure chamber was through a
cleft deep down In the rock, which
was filled up at the time of the hiding
of the treasures, and must conse-
quently first be cleared out.
6. That the Blood Canal stood in
connection with the Temple water
system.
7. That there were three ap-
proaches to the water system and
thence to the Blood Canal. One Of
those was through the Temple itself,
now the Mosque Of Omar, and an
other zeal to the Virgins Well (dis-
covered by Sir Charles WARREN. The
third approach was at a considera-
BILE distance and in these days una
valuable.
In August, 1909, the first excava-
tions were begun in the greatest Sc
crecy and under various subterfuges
as to the real object Of the expedition.
The work has been continued since,
but with certain necessary Interrupt
lions. Dispatches received from Jeru-
salem set forth that the excavators
had found and carried away certain
treasures hidden from the Romans
when they sacked Jerusalem in A. d.
20, including Solomon's crown, sword
and ring.

The Interior Journal added 1l5 new
subscribers to it's list in the month OF
April.
Considering the fact that the paper
was already going to practically every
Family in Lincoln count, this was
something of a record in subscription
work. And it is further satisfying be-
cause not single name was added
as a result of premium offer, contest
or any other such scheme which is
sometimes reported to my newspapers
in an effort to build up large circula-
ton. The new readers took the paper
because they wanted it and paid their
money in advance for it. which proves
that they did.
Most of the new subscribers put on
were added in the East End of the

counties, where the /. Us indefati-

The !. J.,s list is rapidly moving to-
ward the 5000 mark. which it is our
ambition to reach very soon. And this
will give us a circulation larger than
any other country paper in the state
and larger than most of the small
city dailies, most of which the l. j..
now eclipses. A strong effort has
been made to induce the management
to put on a piano popularity contest

effective, as well as more satisfactory
