Twenty-Five Years Ago.

Nels Hanson, living near Albion, was
kicked in the face by horse, breaking
his jaw and skull.
Farmers are waiting for rain to COM
plete the tobacco planting. In some
sections scarcely any has been set.
A public exhibition of the working of
the first tobacco transplanter was made
in the field of Pomeroy & Pelton.
The public schools closed the work of
the year. There were no graduates
and public exercises were omitted.
The residence on the George Van
Antwerp farm near the railway east of
town was destroyed by fire. Scarcely
any of the contents were saved.
Things were lively about the engine
room at the brick yard Wednesday.
The governor belt broke, allowing the
engine to run away; next the exhaust
pipe burst, filling the room with steam
so that no one could get near the shut
off valve. The engine ran at lightning
speed for fully fifteen minutes until it
stopped of it's own accord.

Rev. Berkey Drowned.

Rev. J. H. Berkey of Monroe was
drowned in Crystal lake on Saturday.
He went to Huntley, ILL.,, on Wednes-
day to see about ten acres of land he
intended to devote to strawberries.
Some time Saturday afternoon he was
seen sitting by the lake, but when his
friend, H. A. Adrain of Monticello, tel
ephoned over for him he could not be
found. Later his body was recovered
from the lake.
Mr.. Berkey was formerly a newspap-
er man and was associated for time
with Brick Pomeroy. He had lately
been on lecture tour on temperance
in the state. About six years ago he
was the Prohibitionist candidate for
governor. He was IS years old and
leaves widow and five children. One

The New Highway Law.

The new state highway bill is law.
1t carries with it an appropriation of
$3.50, Geo which is to be used in improv-
ing. the highways of the state under the
direction of non-paid board which,
however, has the right to hire all the
expert help necessary for the proper
supervision for the building of the new
highways. The appropriations to towns
desiring to build permanent highways
will be made under the direction of q
commission, and only towns will be
aided which show desire by making
appropriations to be used with the
state appropriations for the building of
permanent roads. Although there are
some misgivings as to the wisdom of
the bill the friends of the measure
seem to think that eventually the bill
will find favor with the people of the
state.

Obituary.
WILLIAM LEE.

William Lee, one of Evansville's
most highly respected business men,
died at his home on Garfield avenue
Thursday morning. Mr.. Lee was taken
sick about a year ago with heart
trouble and has had several sick spells
during that period which have confined
him to his home the greater share of
the time. Of late he had been much
better and for several weeks had been
able to be at his place of business. On
Wednesday evening he suffered re-
lapse and the end came peacefully on
Thursday morning.

and Mary Lee and was born in Milwau-

received his education. He later moved
onto farm at Stebbinsville. On March
II, 1880, he was married to Miss Lett
tia Harden of Evansville. They re-
manned there one year when they re-
moved to Stebbinsville, and after resid-
ing there fifteen years went to Cooks
vile, where for eleven years he con-
Quoted meat market. He then re-
moved to Evansville and engaged IN
the same business, and his pleasant
manners and square methods of deal
ing drew to him host of friends. His
passing has caused most profound re-
gret among all classes of citizens.
He is survived by his widow,
daughter, Mrs Lee Drotning, and one
son, Ellsworth, both of Evansville,
brother, George Lee, and sister, Mrs.
Anna Wilson of Milwaukee. Mr.. Lee

A story comes from Jerusalem
that the Mohammedan inhabitants
have been aroused to the point of
rioting because party of Eng
lish psychologists are said to
have excavated beneath the
sacred Mosque OF Omar and re-
moved the ark of the covenant
and the holy vesseD which re-
posed In the temple of Jerusa-
lem while Israel was a nation.
The ark was constructed in the
wilderness after the exodus and
finally found resting place in
Solomon's temple and the Omar
mosque occupies the site of the
temple.
The vast majority OF scientists
and antiQuarians who made Pal
estine explorations study are
disposed to ridicule the story of
this dissertation. They say that
after the dispersion of Israel the
ark and the sacred vessels were
removed to Babylonia. They
base their views on II Chronicles,
chapter xxxvi. vere 10. which is
as follows:

Is ARK OF COVENANT
STILL IN EXISTENCE?

And when the year was ex-
PRED, King Nebuchadnezzar sent
and brought him to Bajbylonia
with the goodIy vessels of the
house of the Lord, and made
zedekiah, his brother, king over
Judah and Jerusalem"
They also point to the follow
ing prophesy by Isiah, in chap
ter xxx, verse 6:
Behold, the days come that all
that is in thine house, and that
which they fathers have laid up
in store until this day, shall be
carried to Babylon: nothing shall
be left, saith the Lord"
The other and smaller faction,
who for centuries believed that
the ark is concealed somewhere
in Jerusalem, ask: "If 1t was
taken to BabyIonia what became
of It? Where is It? There must
be some record OF it."
This faction always believed
that the ark was hidden away
and buried in the basement of
the temple. They say that King
Josiah, for fear that II taken TO
Babylon. the ark would never be

A HUMAN BELL

In our churches there is usually
metal bell to ring out and tell us
it is time to come to services.
But in Turkey and some other
eastern countries at the mosques,
as they call the Mohammedan
places of worship, they have a
very different kind of bell. A
man called "Muezzin" climbs up to
his place on the balcony of a high
tower and calls the faithful to
prayer as their religion DEGREES
"at dawn, near noon, in the after
noon, right after sunset and at
nightfall." He calls his orders in
a loud voice in each direction, for
all must hear the command.
AS he is up on such high
tower and can see If people obey
his calls, I'm sorry to say that
they generally elect blind man to
be their "Muezzin."
One day Muezzin had a veryl
severe cold and couldn't call his
orders loudly. All day people won
dered why their church bell didn't
tell them 1t was time for prayers.
But they went anyway at the &C.

In every colony or family of
bees will be found three men,
bers or groups of members: The
queen lays all the eggs from
which baby bees are Matched, the
worker bees-in a strong colony
there may be as many as $4,000
workers-and last the drones, OF
which in proportion to the
worker bees there should be a
very small per cent-the fewer
the better.
The worker bees, or honey
gatherers, are infertile female
bees. The drone or male bees
most patient sufferers they are
under the continuous admonish-
ment of their more productive
sisters-occupy an inconspicuous
place in the colony. but their
presence is nevertheless neces-
sary. In winter when the bees
begin their slumber period. Mr..
Drone is quietly but forcibly re-
minded that his company is nc
longer desired, and out the
drones go to die of hunger and
cold.
Let us consider for a few mo-
ments the family life of the
honey bees.
The worker bees are unde-
|veloped queens. In babyhood
they were confined in smaller
cradles and fed on coarser food
than the queen, and for this rea-
son they are unable to perform
the functions of a mother except
under peculiar conditions; and
even then the eggs that they may
lay will produce only drones.
The worker matches in about
three days. At the end of the
third day. IL the bees intend to
rear a worker, they will change
a bee.
The growth of the queen bee
Is much the same, except that the
very rich food or royal jelly"
as we call 1t, is continued long
enough to develop fully the re-
productive organs and slightly
increase the size of her body.
( Strange as it may seem, the
Queen may lay from 1000 to 1000
eggs a day, or an aggregate

Of the average individual is calmness.
1t is also profitable:
Calmness Is the twin sister Of com.

formed the habit Of calmness is apt %
be comfortable when others are m
comfortable.
Nor is it such q difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become a member of the family!
For calmness is about ninety pr
cent freedom from fear.
As rule. the person who is not calm
Is afraid Of something or somebody.
Afraid Of self. perhaps And that =
the most disconcerting sort of fear.
The way to be calm IS to be calm.

such a thing as a comfortable passage
