Drilling Gas We'll.

The owners of the Monarch
Milling Co. of this city are having
a we'll sunk on their premises in
the hopes of striking gas to furn-
ish power for their plant. Two
or three gas wells we're drilled in
this city several years ago and gas
struck, however, the supply was
small and soon gave out. 1t is
said that indications are that gas
will be struck on the premises now
being drilled upon and should they
be successful in striking a suffi-
Gent supply to run their machin
cry it will mean the saving of a
great deal of money to the Milling
Company.

KILLED FOR "soRcERER.p

Superstition was responsible for a
terrible crime committed recently
among Hungarian peasants at Lau-
senburg. A young farmer named
Maris of Masel murdered an old man
of the village, named Heyte, with a
Ratchet, and then surrendered to the
police. He declared that he had
killed Heyte because the latter was a
sorcerer, and had been paid by his
cousins, who recently lost a lawsuit
against him, to do him bodily harm.
Another reputed wizard in the vii
lage had revealed to Maris that the
epileptic fits from which he suffered
were Heyte's work, and therefore he
felt justified in killing him.

Brick Street Bids.

Hancock 6 Co., who are now
constructing the brick streets in
this city, was the only bidder for
the two streets ordered paved by
the council some weeks ago. The
bid was considerable higher than
they are now getting for the work
and the matter was referred to the
brick street paving committee.
1t is understood that il the
abutting property owners will
agree to pay cash upon the COM
pletion of the job that they can
save considerable money and it is
hoped that they will do this but
just what action will be taken in
the matter by the committee is un-
known as they had not met before
we went to press.

LARGE SUM LONG UNBOUND.

Strange was the discovery made
recently by the owner of a property
situated in the neighborhood of Pau,
France, when, as he was trimming a
hedge blythe railway, he picked up a
big pocketbook, which he found to
contain scrip of the value of $41, 900.
On making inquiries, he ascertained
that the owner was a crazy indi-
vidual, who, on his way from an
other town, had thrown the pocket
book out of a window of the carriage
in which he was seated, and had
finally been taken into custody at
Pau Station. The madman's pocket
book had lain in the hedge for more
than a year.

CHARACTER TOLD BY THE EYE
Different Celebrations Must Mean
Something, is the Argument Of
Distinguished Scientist.

Professor Punnet, in a recent
work, argues that it is difficult to
believe that the markedly different
eye colorations which occur in the
same species are not associated with
deep-seated chemical differences in
huencing the character and bent Of
the individual. ''May not these diff
ferences in fermentation" he asks,
"be coupled with and SO become in
some measure a guide to mental and
temperamental characteristics In
the national portrait gallery the pic
lures of celebrated men and women
are largely grouped according to
the vocations in which they have
succeeded. The observant will
probably have noticed that there is
a tendency for given type of eye
color to predominant in some of the
larger groups. 1t is rare to find any,
thing but a blue among the soldiers
and sailors, while among the actors,
preachers and orators the dark eye
is predominant, although for the
population as a whole it is far scare
er than the light. The facts are
suggestive, and it is not impossible
that research may reveal an init
mate connection between peculiari-
ties of fermentation and of mind"

PROPOSED SCHOOL "sHIFTs."

A proposal to work two "shifts"
daily. of teachers and scholars in the
elementary schools has been APP
proved by the Nottingham (Eng.)
city council. 1t is suggested that the
first batch of children should COM
mence at eight o'clock and work till
one, the second batch going on from
one o'clock till five. The only way
to stop the tremendous growth of
capital expenditure is to use existing
schools to better advantage, say the
promoters Of this plan.

ITO PAY THROUGH THE NOSE"
Hard to Establish Origin Of This Ven.
cradle and Generally Extremely
Common Saying.

1t is apparently impossible to de-
eide about the origin of the express
sion to "pay through the nose" Per-
haps some reader can help us.
Grimm, in his Antiquities of Ger
man Law" notes that Odin had in
Sweden a poll tax which was then
known as the nose tax !; it was a pen
ny a nose or poll. This is the ex-
PLANTATION usually offered for the
source of this locution. 1t is quite
clear that it is no explanation at all,
simply the statement of a collateral
fact about the nose. The sense of
the phrase relates to payment made
reluctantly and at great personal
cost. This meaning might find
clearer alliance with the legendary
instance of st. Dunstan at his forge,
who clapped his hot tongs to the
diabolic nose when it stuck into the
good saints business, and with that
vantage hold forced Satan to work
his will. The age of the proverb is
quite as uncertain as its source. 1t
does not appear in Ray or in Hey
wood, negative argument, yet a
satisfactory establishment of the
fact that it has attained currency
since their time, and is therefore
capable of modern explanation.

LOYAL TROOPS BALK
UPRISING PLOT WHEN
BOMB KILLS GENERAL

TEN TSIN, Aug. 27-A conspiracy
TO seize and loot the town of Ching
ting, $50 miles southwest of Pekin, on
the Pekin railway by mutinous SOL
diers, has been frustrated, according to
advices received here today.
The plot, which was purely local. was
revealed through the arrest and execu-
ton of five ring leaders of the mutt
neers who had assassinated a Banner
man general, Chang Shikuei.
Vigilance of troops recently sent to
Chingting by President Yuan Shat Kai
prevented the looting of the town. Gen
eral Chang was killed by bomb while
being carried through the streets in a
palanquin by coolies. Two of the cool
les were killed at the same time. This
was to have been the signal for the up-
rising. However, the loyal troops i'm
mediately took possession Of the streets
and so formidable were their numbers
that the mutineers were awed into sub
mission.
A small escort of troops who were
following the palanquin seized the
bomb thrower and his companions.
