a Haunted Library.

tiquity, where Mary. queen of Scots,
rested when she was being conveyed
prisoner through England. 1t Is mani
Tested In the library and takes the
form that the books cannot be kept In
order. They move about or are moved
about from shelf to shelf. If you ar
range the works of Shakespeare In cor
rect order ON one shelf by next morn
Ing the volumes are scattered anyhow
on different shelves. This has gone on
for years. At different times the IL
brary has been searched and locked,
watches have been set all night serv-
ants have come and gone, but the mys-
FERROUS occurrence goes on and Is
vouched for, not by the family, but by
the guests who have stayed in the
house. There is no legend to account
for it.-London Mail.

beginning with two which few orators
ever more persistently violated-"First,
study plainness of language. always
preferring the simple word: second.
shortness of sentences; third. distinct
ness Of articulation; fourth, test and
question your own arguments before

an unexpired term beside. We
did not know he held the record

Pen Picturs of the Typical American
by an English Artist.
The Americans as Il race walk better
than the English more freely, with a

How much of this is due to living in
democracy and how much to wearing

mine.
But certainly it is the land of belts
and therefore of more loosely moving
bodies.
Also Americans take their coats off,
which is sensible, and they can do it
the more beautifully because they are
belted and not braced. They take their
coats of eveivw'lere and anywhere
and somehow it strikes the visitor az
the most symbolic thing about them.

Coulthard Gets Title to
500 Acres of Land.

Lincoln, Neb., July IL Title
to 500 acres of land in Wash
ington county, in dispute be-
cause Of the Missouri rivers
trickery, was settled by the
state supreme court today in
George Coulthard. The Iowa
Railroad Land Co. was fighting
his claims. The decision afirms
the lower courts judgment.
The case was once up in Iowa
courts, but was finally thrown
out when it was decided that
the property in litigation was
in Nebraska.
The principal question was
whether the Missouri had cut
a new channel and left this
land detached from Iowa or
whether or not it was Nebraska
land built up by constant acre
tions. The court holds to the
Latter view.

Mobiles Lake Fatality

Mobiles Lake had its first &C.
'cident Of the season last night,
when Harry, the oldest son of
MIR. and Mrs. Gale Mills of Lo-
gan, was drowned.
He, accompanied by Miss
Hildred johnson, also of Logan,
had rowed out in the lake aua
he had dived out of the boat
several Zines. The last tim
he dived. he rose to the surface
as usual, but told Miss Johnson
to cali help, which she did i'm
ms diateIy Her cries soon
brought assistance, hut he sank
at once and never rose again.
A call for help was at once
phoned to Mo. Valley, where
the fire bell aroused its many
citizens, who most willingly
gave all the assistance they
could. Automobiles we're plac-
ed at the disposal of everyone
and the male inhabitants hast
ened to the scene. All night
long the divers worked faith
fully, the auto headlights maxi
ing the waters as clear as dav.
Today every known means is
being used to find the body but
so far they are unsuccessful.
Harry is a young man of 20
years, a graduate of the Logan
High School in the class of 1913
and at present was employed
in the Post Office there. He
was a boy of very good habits,
a kind disposition ard known
and beloved by everyone. His
uniimelv death is a blow to the
entire community.
Miss johnson suffered a nerv-
GUS collapse after being rowed
to shore which required medical
attention, but is resting easily
today.

of j. 3. Barrett, Friday night.
The dog was not a high bred
pedigreed animal, but simply a
good faithful playmate of the
children and probably never did
anything worse in its life than
chase cat up a tree or some
thing equally as serious. 1t
stayed with the children con-
stantly, watched over them
faithfully and was more of a
companion than a dog. Why
any man would want to kill a
dog Of that kind is more than
we can see.

Nearly everyone in this city
who could swim or who offered
help in any way went to Mobiles
Lake last night to help search
for the body Of the Mills boy.
Quite a number worked all
night until they were worn out
but without result and this
morning a new crowd went out
and are continuing the work.
IL would seem the bottom of
the lake has been covered as
with a fine toothed comb but
still the body has not been
brought to the surface. The
electric head light on the cars
threw considerable light over
the water which aided the
searchers a great deal, while
one of the men drove his car

that the light would cover the
