Notice to Lot Owners

1t is gratifying to the management of
Lebanon cemetery to see that there are
a few who have responded to the appeal
to fix up their burial lots. But the
majority of lot owners have done moth
ing as yet to aid in the work. The
heavy rains have caused a very rank
growth OF grass and weeds, which gives
the place an unkempt and neglected ap-
pearance. We again appeal to you to
get busy and fix up your lots, either by
doing the work yourself or paying for
work done on them, which you can
arranged for by consulting with the
undersigned.

of Warning to European Metropolis.
The city of Washington will soon be
destroyed by an earthquakes!
At least that is the prediction of
Elias f. w. Kaspereit of Chicago, who
styles himself "the promised Prophet
Elias" and who travels around the
country foretelling disasters.
Of course the prophet admits that
Washington might possibly be saved
if the people would only repent and
abandon their wicked ways. The rea-
son for the destruction of this nations
capital is the utter disregard of the
people for the teachings Of the Bible.
Prophet Elias is not prepared to say
just when the dreadful calamity will
happen or whether the city will be
swallowed completely in the earth
quake or whether the disaster will be
the tumbling down of buildings, &C.
companied by fire. But there is one
thing the prophet is certain of. and

"The prophet" claims to have sent
out warnings of the Boxer uprising of
last year. He states that he told the
people the uprising would not occur
until after April Z. 1t occurred about
the middle Of the month.
The prophet claims to have sent
warnings Of the upheaval in Rome to
the king of Italy and also to have no.
tilted the king of Portugal of the late
uprising in that country. He says he
is sent by a higher power" to visit
twelve large cities in the world within
the coming year. He arrives in each
city on the seventh day of the month
and remains sever days.
How Visions Come.
The prophet claims to have his
visions in various manners. Some
times they come while he is asleep,
and at other times when he is alone
a voice is heard telling him to convey
a message to the people. and again he
is visited by angels.
The route which the prophet has
marked out for himself for the next
year will lead from Washington to
Rome, where he will arrive on May Z.
From there he will go to Paris, Lon
