An EnaIish Ghost Story.

The ghost of Lord Tyrone, 1t is said, appeared to Lady Beresford, the wife of Sir Tristram Beresford, who died in 1873, and announced that Lord Tyrone, of whose death she had not heard, had died a few days before. The ghost went on to say that Lady Beresford would be blessed with q long desired heir; that she would marry again and would die at the age of forty The first three things came to pass, and Lady Beresford was congratulat- ing herself on approaching her forty eighth birthday when the clergyman who had christened her told her that she was really a year younger than she thought.
 "You have signed my death war rant" she said. "I have not much longer to live"
 That afternoon she told the story to her son and daughter and died, and on her wrist was the whitening mark where the ghost had touched her.

Office Lawyers,

"Ofice practice is what the average lawyer seeks for now" remarked an attorney, and that Is the business that makes the largest returns for the least waste of tissue. More money is made nowadays by keeping clients out of litigation and free from the dangers of the laws delay than by defending them, even successfully, in court. It is safe to say that there are some 6.OOO lawyers who are making d very good living in New York from law business that rarely or never takes them into court and that there are a large number of lawyers who from their counsel work and directing great enterprises and corporations, advising and guiding wealthy clients. take in each year princely-yes, even fabulous -amoun $. ."-Lawyers' Diary.

Emeroenov Rations.

On active service every English sol- dier carries what is known as an emer- gency ration, though its use is forbid. den except by the order of an officer or in extremity. When occasion for its use arises the center band is torn off, and two tins are disclosed. One tin contains one-quarter pound of concen- trated beef and the other one-quarter pound of cocoa paste. These rations can be eaten dry, but if water Is avail able greater benefit can be derived, An ounce of the beef boiled for an hour makes a pint of tea; by simmer ing one ounce of the cocoa paste in a pint of water for a quarter of an hour a liquid cocoa of good strength Is ob- tained. If the ration is eaten in small quantities at time 1t is calculated to maintain strength for thirty-six hours.

2,OOO MADE HOMELESS
 AS RIVERS OVERFLOW
LGVeG on Mississippi Breaks,
 Flooding Hickman, Ky.

A swift and muddy current eight feet deep sweeps through the business streets and the factory and tenement districts of Hickman. Ky. following the breaking of the Mississippi river levee From hill to hill the river flows, covering farms and flooding stores and factories
 Two thousand persons are homeless. Caring for the refugees began. They were temporarily sheltered by resi- dents of the highlands till the tents shipped by the state military arrived. Much of the food supply was destroyed in the rush of water and there are not enough provisions on hand to last the refugees through the week.
 Men who had been working in re- lays for four days to re-enforce tho levee had built the levee up with sand bags fully a foot above the surface of the river. Some of them had gone home to rest and most of the inhab- itants were in bed when the crash came.
 Property loss Is estimated at not less than S250OO0.
 Taft Asks For $5ooooo For Lsvees.
 President Taft at Washington sent to congress special message urging an appropriation of $500, 900 to strength en the levees of the Mississippi river and prevent further flood damage in states that border 1t.
 Fleeing to Hills at Cairo, IIl.
 The inha abitants of Cairo, H., are de- l hal belongings to the hills. Hundreds of the men are making every effort to bolster up the weakening levee.
 Alarming reports come from Kansas City, where three feet of water is standing in the houses in the bottoms.
 Little Rock, Ark, experienced the | heaviest downpour of rain recorded for many years, and 1t Is almost certain that the Arkansas river, already near the danger mark, will soon spread far beyond its banks.
 Governor McCreary of Kentucky or iered 300 national guard tents sent to Columbus. Ky. for many persons there have been forced to seek temporary homes in the hills.
 Scores Driven Out at Memphis, Tenn.
 At Memphis, Tenn, the river stage measured 41.2 feet, which is nine inch es higher than the previous high rec ord, made in 1907. On the east side of the river the levee has broken in sev- eral places. and scores of families have been driven from their homes. The city's supply of gas is threatened. for the water may rise sufficiently to till the mains.

forms of Sunday amusement that have been permitted there these many moons may improve West Haven as a resident center, but it will not improve Savin Rock as the amusement place after church hours on Sunday into which it has quite naturally evolved.
 or course the law should be enforced, even If 1t Is bad law, for that is the best way to get 1t off the statute books. If moving picture shows are forbidden by law on Sunday in New Haven or in Orange, the police authorities in both places should see to it that they are not permitted to anybody. Labelling them sacred concerts. and under this fimsy gulse permitting law violation ou the part of certain favorites, is not fair Everybody or nobody should be allowed to run moving picture show on Sun day, and the character of the perform ance, not what the proprietors see fit to call 1t, should govern the police in their attitude toward this class of Sunday amusement.
 Savln Rock Is more a Sunday play ground for New Haven than it is any thing else. Yet it is entirely under the jurisdiction of the West Haven authori. ties, and they can do with it exactly what they please. New Haven has no say ln the matter. If the Orange Civic asSoclatlon wants to make the Rock a Sunday school picnic ground and bar out from there on the Sabbath day all other forms of amusement other than Sunday revival services, they can do so. 1n that event we predic that the West

'' Good Feeling" |"

The acquittal of the Chicago packers, it is announced from that city, is her. aided as "the dawn of an era of good feeling" It is with some apprehension that we await the burst of the fell day upon whose dawning wt now look.
 Instantly the sel ing prices of the commodities controlled by the packers trust have been jaoked up. Within the week, $1 50 8 barrel has been added to pork; lard has advanced one-half cent 8 pound-a big increase; short ribs the same. Of these articles the packers combination controls the greater part of the visible supply-38.00O barrels pork, 112,OO0 tierces lard, 25,OO0,OOO pounds short ribs.
 Thus the gentlemen who have escaped jail sentences stand $379, ,750 to the good by reason of their prompt availment of the opportunity offered by their aoquit- tai. It is figured that their defence by high h-priced legal talent cost in the neighborhood of half million dollars. Already they have realized enough to meet the bulk of this drain upon their resources, and there is more coming as the weeks pass under their manipulation of the market.
 Good feeling There is no reason in the world why the packers should not feel good.-Boston Post.

"Showino" the Boxers.

An incident of the Boxer rebellion, when Yuan Shin Kai was viceroy of Chili, gives a suggestion of his quail ty, notes the Outlook. A number of the Boxer chiefs of his province came to ask him to take part in the leader ship of their movement. As an in- ducement they assured him that 1t was impossible that the movement should fail, because the Boxers were possess ed of magic which made them in- vulnerable to foreign bullets. Express he great interest in this invulnera- biiity, Yuan invited them to an excel lent dinner. N6hen they had dined he declared that it would be a very simple matter to test the lnvulnerability, be- cause his soldiers were equipped with foreign guns. He thereupon conducted his guests to the courtyard, stood them up against wall and, with a company of his own soldiers armed with foreign rifles, made n convincing test of the matter. Strange to say, not a single Boxer proved invulnerable.

 "I have been on the throne sixty four years, for forty-dve of which have been the constitutional king of Hungary" said the emperor. "I have watched her rise and growth with pleasure She never had better friend than I. but now they want to attack my sovereign rights and treat me with distrust If these resolutions are not abandoned nothing remains for me but to nbdlcate."
 The Hungarian ministers decided to drop the offensive proposal.

Storms That Beat About the Horn

SToTns | nat boaL Npodh tH0 E'OEHs
 The waters of Cape Horn have never been unvisited by storms for more than a week or two at a stretch with in the memory of man. Standing on the outpost of the world, Cape Horn Is the meeting place of ocean currents of very different temperatures, from the icy cold waters of the antarctic drift to the warmth of the Brazilian and Peruvian return currents. The prevailing winds are from the north west and west and these. coming from the warm regions of the Pacific, con- dense into fogs which the sailors call Cape Horn blankets" and which are the sure forerunners of storms. The extremely low levels to which the glaciers of Tierra del Fuego descend, the perpetual congelation of the sub soil, the meeting of conflicting winds of very different temperatures, are all direct or indirect causes combining to make this the most constantly stormy region in the world.

COUNCIL FOR
CITY MARKET
COMMITTEE APPOINTED LAST
NIGHT TO MAKE THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION

BY the appointment OF commlttee
Of three last night the city council ex'
pressed it's favor Of city market III
Ottumwa. On motion of Alderman A.
K. Swartz, Mayor l.. A. Gordon ap.
pointed Aldermen Swartz, Leeny and
Swanson to secure all the data pos
sible on city market conditions and re-
port back to the council at the flrst
meeting in July or the meeting there
after. It was the expression last night
that if a city market would be good
thing for Ottumwa, the council would
take the necessary steps to secure 1t.
If it was not good thing, 1t would
be dropped.
The market movement started last
wear. Nothing was done with it at that
time however. Alderman Swartz
brought the question up again last
night, He asserted that if the city
would name a certain portion of the
business district for farmers and vend-
ers to stand, the people OF OttumWa
would be given the benefits tnat
other cities are receiving at present.
He asserted action should be taken as
quickly as possible. Several otner
aldermen made statements that
favored the city market. The commit
tee will get to work Immediately
