Some are from Ephesus, others from

prayer. The work Of beautifying this
old church was carried on for five CEN

captain Of a trading steamboat. On
one occasion ne had on board cargo
of forty elephants. The vessel was
anchored In a perfectly smooth sea OF
the coast OF Zanzibar. but to the great
surprise OF the passengers the steamer
began to ron. At first they supposed
the motion to be caused by the ground
sven; but when the motion kept fn-
creasing there was general alarm, and
the captain insigated an, inTestga-
lion. Thep it was revealed that the
elephants had in some way found that
BY. swaying to and fro all together
q rocking motion was produced that
seemed to please them immensely. So.
the great heads and bodies rolled and
swung In unison until the steamer,
which had no other cargo and rode
lightly, was in imminent danger Of
rolling clean over, The attendants
hurried down into their hold and, after
a great deal of shouting and 4humping,
managed to stop the dangerous aause

Outlook Editor Quietly Pass
ing Out Information That
Third Term Would be Ac-
ceptabIe.

Trenton, n. j.. Jan. 30-A positive
statement that Col. Roosevelt, If
nominated for the presidency, will ac-
cept and il elected will serve, was
made today by Lawrence Abbott, the
Outlook editor, in a letter to former
Governor Stokes of New Jersey. This
letter is the most authoritative state
ment yet made.
In the letter he says that if Col
will be because the people want him
for certain job," and not because he
seeks it,
Mr.. Abbott says he makes the
statement on his own authority.
Abbott's letter was dated yester-
day and is reply to one written by
Governor Stokes. 1t said in part:
What possible incentive can there
be for a man of Mr.. Roosevelt's rec
ord, European and American ad-
vancements and honors, to enter an
arduous disagreeable and often disas-
trous contest, into which candidates
who are struggling for the presi-
dency are inevitably plunged.
ST am convinced that he does not
desire the nomination and will enter
into no contest to secure it But 1 am
truly convinced that if his country
men are still in need of his services
he will no more decline the call than
he would decline to enlist if his SER
vices were needed in war"

Roosevelt, is Belief Of

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 30.-Despite
a heavy cold and inflamed throat,
President Taft arrived here today,
prepared for a strenuous campaign to
capture the Ohio delegation. He re-
ceived 5000 people in a hotel lobby.
Mr.. Taft contracted additional cold
in Cleveland last night when he spoke
in a room reeking with tobacco
smoke. He was compelled to suspend
his address several times on account
of coughing.
To enable the president to carry
out his program of speeches, DR..
Rhoades worked several hours re-
ducing the inflammation.
President Taft will hold several po-
litical conferences here today His
followers are much encouraged by
his Cleveland address last night in
which he appealed to the republicans
to stand confidentally by their guns
and declared the record showed that
party pledges have been fulfilled.
Regarding it National Committee
man Vorys said the speech was a
splendid effort; that his visit VIII
have remarkably good effect and
that Colonel Roosevelt would not run
for the nomination.

to join his wife and baby at Tacoma,
according to eports received here to-

Bound only by his word of honor,
Mack was parolcd one year ago in
order that he might have a chance to
save the home from being taken from
his aged parents. He secured a po-
sition with street paving company
and within few months had accom-
plished his purpose.
He returned alone to the Oregon
penitentiary after accomplishing the
task for his parents, arriving at the
prison about the first of this year,
and donned the stripes, resigned to
spend the remainder of his days be-
hind cell bars.
Governor West, in communication
with Mrs. Mack, recently arranged
for her to go to Tacoma and today
surprised the life prisoner with a pa
role and advice to join his family in
the Washington city.

UNUSUALLY LARGE
AMOUNT OF RAINFALL

One of the wettest Januaries in re-
cent years is drawing to close and
as a result of the wetness which it
brought, prospects for another bump
er crop have been materially bright
ened. The new year opened with the
rainfall for the season slightly below
normal, but the heavy rains and
snow of this month have more than
made up the shortage. Though the
average precipitation for January is
but 1.56 inches, according to Wealth
er Observer E. F. Averill, the precipi-
tation for this January lacks but
small fraction of being four inches,
most unusual amount of moisture
in this section for a period of thirty
days.
From all Of the farming commu-
mites of the county come reports of
fine crop conditions and the farmers
are happy people these days. Even
the light land sections have been
visited by drenching rains and the
moisture has had visible effect up
on the growing grain. The weather
for the past week or more has been
unusually balmy and the alternating
showers and sunshine make up what
the ranchers call ideal conditions.
