A CITY OF CHANGE.

Ephesus, Onco on tho Seacoast, Is Now
Located Far Inland.
Sir William Ramsay characterizes
Ephesus as the City of Change" And
truly it has seen marvellous changes
and its Inhabitants many removals. In
the days of st. Paul and st. John Eph-
esus was city of the seacoast; the
waters of the Aegean Tapped it's busy
wharves. Now the traveller to Ephesus
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea. To all appearances he is as
far away rs on one of our inland prai-
ries. The Cayster during all these ages
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the seashore. Even in st.
Johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging.
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part Of the inhabitants. The orig
inal city was built not far from Ayaso-
lou6 and the whole Ephesian valley
was an arm of the sea dotted with
rocky islands and bordered by pictur-
esque mountains and wooded promon-
tories" we are told. AS the sea receded

Glasgow, Mont, Sept. 26.-The
drawing for claims in the Fort Peck
Indian reservation, begun here by the
government on Tuesday, was ended
last night. when 1900 names had
been called. Eight thousand five hun
dred names we're called yesterday.
Miss Mabel Sims Of Glasgow, who
was the first person to register, drew
No. IA. Her claim is valued at $4,000.
James F. Collins OF st. Paul drew the
last number, 1900. While there are
but S,4o6 claims. it is estimated that
from 20 TO 40 per cent of those whose
names are included in the drawing will
not file. The 1000 extra names, il is
expected, will account for this dis
Crepancy.
Lee Jordan OF Jefferson City, Mo,
drew No. 10. He left his home Sept.
-. had berth No. - in the sleeper,
was the thirteenth in line, and had
room 13 at hotel.

ings came to light today Susan c.
Tivis, a cook, so years old, was told

scarcely any money. She was obliged
20 stop off ten times en- route to get

and arrived here almost penniless.

collapsed when the last name was an

WHERE BULLETS FLY.

A 13-year-old Detroit girl playing
in the yard of her home was hit in the
leg by stray bullet day or two
ago. and the best explanation the
police can give is that some small
boys of the neighborhood were play
ing with a gun. 1t is probably the
true explanation.
A few American soldiers were
wounded along the Texan border by
stray bullets from the Mexican side
where numerous federals and consti-
tutionalists were playing at war, and
a great hullaballoo was raised about
it. A little Detroit girl is shot at her
very doorstep where she has every
right to suppose herself safe, and the
incident arouses only passing interest.
Why this Indifference?
1t is an unusual happening for an
American soldier to be injured by a
Mexican bullet. 1t is common thing
for eDtroit child to be wounded or
killed by bullets from weapons in the
hands of other children.
Again we ask, why the deadly
weapon in a quiet and civilized COM

HISTORICAL MEN.

Strange as it may seem the panic
on the south side yesterday morning
was led by lot of men, who, when
the news first came that the St.
Mary's reservoir had broken. fed
white-lipped, rolling eyed, and tremb-
ling to their homes far above any
possible point of danger, and. as they
hurried, scattered the absurd in
formation that the river reinforced by
the waters of st. Mary's reservoir
would cut great cash in the south
side and inundate that section in a
mad chase to get to Toledo by a short
cut. Alarmed by the foolish vapor-
lngs of these men, women became
historical. children wept, and there
was hob to play generally, until the
failure of the expected doom to ar
rive on scheduled time tended to re-
assure the quaking victims of their
own too lively imaginations. Had
these men stopped to consider that
the south side beyond Creighton ave-
of the court house and that the bust
ness section and many miles of sur
rounding country would have to be
twenty feet under water before the
south side outside the strip along
Broadway south of Creighton avenue.
could possibly be touched, it is posi-
Bile that they might have spared the
women of their respective neighbor-
hoods the scare of their lives. But
possibly 1t is too much to expect of
some men the exercise of Judgment
in times of stress. For we know by
the sad experience of the years that
any fool on any night at any theater
by crying fire can start a lot of
long-limbed men Looping for the exits

len and children under foot.-Fort

SAVED BY suDD!

Among the problems facing the
world in the not remote future is a
scarcity of white paper for printing
newspapers on, the immense number
of publications having depleted the
visible supply of raw material.
The possible commercial value of
sudd, the inexhaustible jungle growth
of the upper reaches of the White
Nile, has been topic frequently dis
cussed in governmental and industrial
circles. After being used as briquets
for fuel, its possibilities as pulp for
paper were tested and found suitable
except that it could not be bleached
successfully.
This difficulty is now said to have
been overcome and the Nile region
can furnish enough pulp to supply
the world.
It's mercy the ancients didn't is
sue great daily and Sunday papers OF
they probably would have used up all
the sud- and left us still hunting a
substitute.

CRAWL FOR HEALTH.

Something new has come out of
Washington in the shape of crawl
ing teas" for health and beauty
strictly for women, of course
They organize. meet at one an
others houses, and after tea or tiffin
or luncheon just crawl The exercise
has been pronounced by physicians
one of the best aids to digestion and
development of certain muscles. 1t
will produce the perfect figure, say
its advocates; make the fat thin and
the thin fat.
It's something different from the
male diversion known as the "Picca-
dilly crawl" but just what it is must
be left to masculine imagination
Mere man can only picture fat wom-
an full of tea and ambition giving an
imitation of a turtle in hurry on a
polished hardwood floor, with spikes
barred
Suggestion is made that in the
summer the members don rompers and
crawl on the greensward in the parks.
IT'S only a step from that to chasing
the squirrels through the groves and
up the tree trunks.

ment, turned the head of the two
times president.
We view these incidents in re-
Prospect, with no further fear of a
dominating personality. We are
stripped of prejudice as we contem-
plate the ruins of personal ambition
still smouldering.
The progressive party today ranks
with the prohibition party, the social
lists party, the populist's party and
other forlorn hopes. In Chicago the
progressives elected three councilmen
to the republicans eleven. And Chi
cago six months ago was the hot-bed
of progressivism.
Thus may we be assured that no
man is greater than the party which
made him, no ambition may rise
higher than the limitations imposed
by this republican form of govern
ment. There is no place in this coun-
try for Porfirio Diaz

A WORTHY APPOINTMENT.

President Wilson has done more to
win the respect of the bulk and sinew
of this nation by appointing poor
man as ambassador to Britain than
anything else that he could have
done.
Suppose he cannot make a. show
ing" on the salary he will get, what
of it? He is not sent to England to
make showing" at the Court of
St. James. He is sent to serve this
country as it's representative not to
dazzle London by his social triumphs.
One thing for which the last two
republican administrations were criti-
cized was because rich men re-
CARELESS of qualification were sent to
represent this country in foreign en-
bassies and consulates. The poor
man no matter how well qualified
how worthy or how great his mental
and business attainment stood nc
show whatever in the race. If he
wasn't loaded with money his name
was Dennis.
We congratulate the president.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

A world perspective of the financial
situation indicates continued boom
in the stel business, which is our To-
cal interest. Heavy rains in the west
presage good crops and the floods will
also have their beneficial effects on
the grain. Good crops are the basis
Of prosperity in the steel industry. 1t
will mean that the railroads will
need much rolling stock and equip
ment to move the produce of the
fields
In Europe there are events oc-
curing with a direct local bearing
The capture of Adrianople by the
Bulgarians foreshadows the end of
the Balkan war. Within the past
few days the nightmare of a general
war in Europe has disappeared and
England's offer to build no naval
armament for a year is having its
effect. Consequently. with the end
of the Balkan war and the prospects
for no disturbance to the general
peace of Europe. money boarded in
cellars. stockings. and vaults in fear
of a war will be withdrawn from the
hiding places and set in circulation
to purchase the securities that will be
offered. And there will not be such
drain upon our own gold to meet
European demands
An optimistic spirit prevails III
financial circles because a conserva-
tive element is in control in congress
and there will be no rough handling
of the tariff question.
All of these things have an import
ant relation to US. The general signs
are favorable and a summing up of
conditions indicates a steady continu-
ance of the Calumet steel belts boom.
