POWER PLANT PROGRESSES.
Northwestern Electric Work Near
Husum, Arouses Interest.

Husum = Many visitors are being
attracted to the scene of operations at
the site of the power plant, nearly a
mile below where the Northwestern
Electric company is constructing a
high dam. At the new camp several
buildings have been constructed, and
tents dot the hillside. A sheriff 8
office is located there, commanding a
full view of the entire works, where
ESQ men are employed, mostly Greeks
and Italians.

cavated for the power buildings,
which will be located near the waters
edge. Large derricks are operated by
donkey engines in excavating in solid
rock for the foundation of the power
plant. A tramway from the wagon
road, some distance up the embank-
ment, will carry material to the river
side.

Prune Crop Is Injured.

throughout the county have done con-

storms and there would be few prunes
to pick in the whole county. The

around Zelda, where there was fair
crop.

FUNERAL BEGINS.
Ancient and Modern Rites and Gus
toms Mingle at Toxic.

Ancient and Modern Rites and Gus
toms Mingle at Toxic.
Tokio-Funeral ceremonies of the
late Emperor Mutsuhito, of Japan,
posthumously known as 1.-THE Emperor
of the Era Of the Enlightenment, be-
gan amid surroundings in which CEN
turv-old rites and customs were min
gled with modern military display.
From the most extreme points OF
japan subjects have been assembling
in Toxic. At midnight great crowds
had gathered along the route of the
procession.
The weather was fair. A police
Gordon was established, shutting off
the streets through which the body of
the emperor will be transported and
upon which it is estimated half mil
lion persons will be accommodated.
Soon after midnight officials proceeded
to the palace in preparation for the
early ceremony.
The sombre coloring associated with
Western mourning was almost entire
ly absent, being replaced by the bril-
liant hues of the Orient.
Official representatives of every
country had come to Toxic to partici-
pate in the solemnities. Among them
were princes representing relgnlng
houses and special embassies commits
stoned by republican presidents. The
list included Philander G. Knox, Sec
rotary of state of the United States,
who was accompanied by Ransford B..
Miller, chief of the Far Eastern Sec
ton of the State department at Wash
ington; Rear Admiral Alfred Rey-
nolds and Brigadier General John j..
Pershing. Members of the regular
foreign diplomatic body were present
in their uniforms.
From an early hour the palace in its
great private park in the heart of the
capital was the goal toward which
virtually everybody in Toxic made his
way on foot. The late emperor only
occasionally during his life left the
moated Enclosure where his body had
laid in state since August 10. Since
that date on each tenth day, solemn
memorial services and sacrifices to the
spirit of the departed ruler were per-
formed.
The casket containing the body lay
in state in the main hall. 1t had been
decorated according to Shinto rites by
special corps of ritualists.
The casket measured nearly ten feet
by five and weighed one and half
tons.
The chief ritualist and his assistants
proffered the offerings of sacred food
to the continued accompaniment of
shinto music, after which other offer
ings of red and white cloth inclosed
in willow boxes were made. Prayers
for the dead were recited by the chief
ritualist.
The most solemn act of all followed
when the emperor, the empress, the
dowager empress and the princes and
princesses advanced toward the casket
and worshipped the spirit of the de-
parted emperor. A short silence
ensued; the professions were re-
formed and the members of the i'm
perial family retired.
The other members of the assem-
blages however, remained to worship
the dead emperor's spirit, after which
the Shinto ritualists advanced to the
altar and removed the offering to the
sound of sacred music. The screen in
front of the catafalque was lowered by
the chief ritualist and the first cere-
mony of the funeral was ended.

Rain Hurts Tekoa Grain.

Tekoa-F Following several days of

material damage had been done the

will result from the last downportr.

CONVICT A NEGRO

Bunk Ramsey, arrested in this city
six weeks ago, was sentenced to the
Kentucky penitentiary in Winchester.
Ky, to serve term of five years.
Ramsey was arrested in this city by
Chief Gormon who saw him walking
down Main street and suspected from
the way he walked that he had a pistol
in his pocket.
Ramsey was with another colored
man and when searched he was found
to possess a dirk and a revolver. Chief
Gormon then suspected that he was a
fugitive and sent out inquiries. He
learned from Chief of Police Woodson
McCord, of Winchester Ky, that Ram.
sey was wanted in that city for rob-
berry. He was sent there and was con,
victed on the charge. At the expira.
ton of his sentence he will face a

Morgan admitted under pressure
that many million dollars worth of Sc

Morgan admitted that his firm had

as fiscal agent. Morgan said he was
only one of the voting trustees of the

such procedure.
