PRISONER HIS OWN POLICE
Takes Himself to jail Whom equire

There was q long, loud ring at
the portals Of the jail today and
when Warden Colling answered II
he found a stranger standing out.
side.
rWhat do you wantp" Injured
the warden.
T want to come In" replied the
stranger.
Collins inquired why, and in an
swer the man showed a paper
through the bars. CHANGING at 1t,
Collins read that 1t was a commit
ment issued by Squire Koch Of
Moore township for Harry Hahn.
Thinking that his visitor was q
constable, Collins inquired where
Hahn waa
"l'm Ham," replied the man.
"You see, Squire Koch didn't have
a constable handy, so he gave me
the commitment and told me to
come down here myself. He knows
me pretty well and wasn't afraid to
trust me-"
The squire lives about sixteen
miles from the county seat The
complaint against Hahn was lodged
by a young woman, who charged
that he was untrustworthy In keep
ing pledges; just the opposite Of the
squire's idea of the man.

The will of the late j. NJ Big.
staff was probated in the County
Court of this county last Wednes-
day. The gist of the will is as
follows:
After first giving 100000
each to his four grandchildren, the
income of which is to be devoted
to their education, he gives the
whole of his estate to his wife for
life, and at her death equally to
his four children for life, and at
their respective deaths to their
surviving children. He also pro-
vides that if any of his said chill
dren die without leaving decend-
ants surviving them. the share of
such one shall revert to the others.
He also charges some of his chill
dren with advancements made
them.
Mrs. Mary E. Bigstaff, his::wife,
at the same time filed her renunci-
alton of the provisions of the will,
agreeing to take her share as wild
ow instead of under the will.
This action will enable her chill
dren to at once get possession of
their respective interests.
Major d. j. Burchett qualified
as administrator of the estate, Mrs.
Bigstaff refusing to qualify.

ORE Deposits DUE TO EROSION.

A new theory covering the forma-
ton of deposits Of gold supposes
that certain regions under similar
geological conditions owe their en-
dowmsnt to the greater or less ac-

reached the deeper strata Of the ter
restrial crust Similarities in type
Of deposits Of metal are found IN
regions where geological conditions
are the same It is not by chanes
that certain regions are exception

other regions no 'leads" can b
found.-Harpers Weekly.

"Klng" Mcnamara Captured.

DIR. James Baker," a veterina-
rian's assistant, who built up a
good reputation in Louisville, is
none other than John H. King
Mcnamara. the alleged murderer
of Jacob Kellar, of Lexington, and
a fugitive from justice for more
than thirteen years. This was the
astounding revelation brought
about when the man was placed
under arrest Friday morning at
the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville
by Sheriff Daniel w. Scott, of
Lexington.
HARD TO BELIEVE.
The arrest of DIR. Baker," as
the alleged slayer of Kellar and
the missing king" Mcnamara
brings to an end one of the most
famous man hunts in Kentucky
history. The friends of DIR.

The London Academy, though it
is a sturdy opponent Of the new
spelling, is good enough to say that
the English language can never be
standardized, either as to its vocab-
ulary or its photography; and also
that, inasmuch as the Americans are
extremely energetic in the manu-
facture Of the word for the occasion
otherwise known as slang"-they
had better be left to their linguistic
diversions to form a new language
of their own if they wish to. And
why not?
In the days to come America may
be found big enough and original
enough to possess a language Of its
own. Latin split up into italian,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Rou-
Provencal, Catalan and sew
eral other tongues and dialects. Ger
man split up into a still greater
of derived tongues. Eng
lish will hardly be an exception to
the rule. It is probable that there
would already be an American Ian
guage if the English did not almost
instantly adopt every American ex-
preston and make it part Of the
language they call theirs. Boston

GEESE WORTH HAVING.

Ed Laramie has goose and gam
der on his farm which have been do
ing some very unusual things this
season. Along early in the spring
the goose laid eleven eggs and
brought out eleven goslings. In two
weeks she turned the brood over to
the gander and commenced laying
again. When she had laid nine
eggs she began sitting once more,
and brought out seven goslings. The
gander looked after the first family,
taking just as good care of them as
had the mother. The first and sec
ond families are now one.-Kings-

CROPS IN ALASKA.

1t is hard to believe that any vege-
table food Of consequence can be
produced in ice-clad Alaska, but re-
liable reports show that all the crops
which can be raised in Norway, Swe-
den, Finland and the northern prov
inces of Russia - potatoes, root
crops, barley, oats, carrots, beets,
turnips, celery-can be produced
there.
One farmer in the Tanana valley
secured the following yields: "From
three acres of potatoes, IS tons, the
market price being 1920 a ton;
acre of beets, s tons; 2 acres of car
rots, 712 tons, market price $40 a
tor; l acre Of turnips, s tons, at
$50 ton "a acre of rutabagas, 211h
tons, for which the market price was
800 ton; "a acre of red beets, /

AssIMILATINe NEW MEMBERS.

After the examination is over and
the right hand of fellowship has
been extended, the new recruit is not
yet a member of the church. He is
not full member until he has been
assimilated by the congregation, and
has found his place in the active life
of the institution. The reason why
so many new members are lost to the
church is because they never become
real members. They we're as much
outsiders inside as outside the
church.
A weak spot in the church today
is the way new members are re-
ceived.. Too much is taken for
granted when nothing should be
taken for granted. New members
should be followed up closely for
some months after they have been
received or until such time as they
have become a part of the life of the
institution. Just use a little more
common sense and the church will
be blessed with a larger number of
active workers. Exchange.

was full and every man was reading
his favorite evening paper, each
turned to get the full benefit of the
nearest electric light. The only
sounds we're the splashing of the
water and the occasional rustic when
some one turned his paper.
Don't it look funny? Everybody
reading and nobody saying any
thing"
Instantly pair Of eyes stared
blankly over the top Of each paper.
Then the papers were lowered and
every man looked inquiringly at ey-
cry other man. The voice had come
out of the air. Those at opposite
ends Of the cabin glared at each
other and those in the center seemed
bewildered. The position of the
voice could not be located. Aston
ishment turned to anger and with a
grunt some returned to their pa
pers, but subdued chuckle and a
few twitching mouths showed that a
few appreciated a joke.

tall, lanky old hayseed in the corner.

SEES REWARD IN THE FUTURE

only man in the world who ever
built stained-glass hencoop for his

not by any means a small affair,

"What gave you the idea for
building glass coop?" inquired
the Yonkersite, who also has a flock
of poultry.
"The First Methodist church in
our village. The trustees decided to
replace its stained-glass windows
with some Of plain glass. | made
a bid for the discarded material. My
offer was accepted. So I took the
stained sections home and set them
up on the farm. The result is a
handsome coop, well ventilated and
well lighted on the darkest day. The
whole thing is merely cemented to-
gether on a light framework. The
effect Of variegated light on the hens
is pleasing. l won't say that it has
improved the production of eggs, al
though the coop is equipped with
nests, water and food troughs, but
if the hens should take a notion to
lay eggs with colored shells along
about Easter there would be no COM

Because the wafer levels at the AM

last year the larger vessels are being
loaded with 200 to 500 tons of freight
more 20 the cargo.
Last year at this time the draught

The figures az the Canadian locks at
this time last year were Is feet and 6
inches; the present depth of water is

nine inches over the American side OF
the locks. Marine men explain the diff
ference by the fact that the Canadian
locks are deeper.
Smaller vessels plying along the
Niagara river are able to load seven
inches deeper, owing to the fact that
the draught this year is IA feet and 3
inches. as against lS feet and s inches

SPORTING EVENTS PLANNED.
Club May Be Formed to Stage Boxing
and Wrestlinq


Followers of boxing and wrestling
in the Portage Lake district are plan
ming on organizatlng a Copper Coun-
try Athletic association, which will
have for its object the promotion OF
clean sport in the copper country
The plan calls for the organization
of club with each member contrib
uting toward a fund which will finance
matches as staged. Should any ball
ance accrue from any of the matches
that are TO be pulled Off the coming
winter. the funds will be placed in a
treasury to meet times when deficits
arise
1t is believed that the plan is q
good one. and when the proposed
meeting is called it is probable IT
will be largely attended. 1t should not
be inferred from the organization OF
the proposed club that matches pre-
viously pulled off in the country have
been unfair, but i'm order TO make alb
solutely sure that matches are staged
right. the club will see to il that no
taking is allowed.
1t is practically certain that Orde-
mann will be brought TO Hancock the
coming winter to meet Alex Jarvinen,
the great Finnish wrestler, who SO
easily disposed of Carl T.ehto. The
latter wrestler is anxious to obtain
another go with Jaryinen, and it may
be arranged. Frank Gotch, too, may
be seen in action in the copper coun-
try if plans mature.
