LONDON, July 18.-The Zionist
Conference here to-day adopted the
recommendation of the Commission

amid great uproar raised by the
Socialists in the conference who favor
ed the minority report. The minority
recommendation was that Che land
and property be declared Immediate ~
the property of the Jewish state and
that private ownership and specuia-
ton be forbidden.
Adolph Bohm, an Austrian delegate,
presented the majority report, which
produced such heated discussion in
4iddish that Baron de Rothschld, who
presided, maintained order with diff
tculty. Bohm said the plan was to col
onlZe Palestine by the settlement there
OF Jews without means, by BUYING;
land out of the Jewish national fund
and employing Jewish labor exclu-
slvely. The settlers should place them
selves unh esltatjngly under the CON
troll Of the fund. Bohm added, and
agree to eventual naturalization of
the land.
The speakers on behalf of the mi
norlty report declared that the true
Zionist ideals would be lost sight of

properly developed unless there were

CAN'T PAY TAXES YET
Delay In Receiving Official levies
from Executive Council Prevents
Completion of Tax Lists.

Tax paying is going to start off
rather late in Decatur county this
year, as on account of the changes
made by the executive council and
the official levies not yet been
received by the auditor, it is i'm
possible to extend the tax lists and
have them ready to turn over to the
county treasurer. The new tax re-
ceipts to be used by treasurer Chew,
have not yet been printed, as they
cannot be finished up until the
levies are received, so they can be
printed on the tax receipts. 1t will
be impossible to have the tax books
ready before the middle of January,
and it may be later before they are
ready, so it will be useless to go to
the treasurer's office to pay your
taxes until the books are complet-
ed. Due notice will be given when
the county treasurer will be ready
to receive taxes The executive
council made many changes in the
assessed value of real estate and
personal property, and while the
assessed values as changed will be
considerable higher, the levies will
be made lower, so that taxts will
not be increased near so much as
the increase in the assessment
values would indicate.

fant child and her husband, an
Apostolic preacher, a few days
afterward, while in a trance or a
dream, seems to have heard the
voice of his dead wife and, behold,
as he looked up he saw her exact
image on the wall.
Now it appears that the image is
fixed and constant and is visible to
all who visit the home. It Is al
legged that over 1000 people have
visited the place in the past few
days and all have come away de-
claring that the face is plainly
visible. ri
Many people from Corydon have
driven TO the home near Mercer to

A MYSTERIOUS PICTURE
On the Ceiling of a farm House
Near Princeton, NO., is Causing
Great Excitement There.

People down in the vicinity of
Princeton, Mo-, are greatly excited
over mysterious picture which has
appeared on the, ceiling at the home
of j. M. Donelson, an Apostolic
preacher, who claims the picture
suddenly appeared on the ceiling
his wife and baby who died last
October. The following newspaper
articles tells of the strange event:
The home OF J. M. Donelson, who
by the way is one of the very best
last Friday night by an apparition,
which many believed and recognized
as picture of Mr.. Donelson's wife
and baby who died October 9Th, last.
The picture was on the ceiling OF
the sitting room which was finished
IN white. Mr.: Donelson and his
father were sitting talking Friday
upstairs to bed and Mr.. Donelson
raised his eyes to the ceiling and
readily discerned his wife's picture.
He called his fathers attention to
it and he also recognized the pic
ture. About the same time his lit
tie girl upstairs recognized it and
called out Papa, there is mamma" /"
The next morning the picture was
still on the ceiling and neighbors
recognized the apparition as the
picture of Mrs Donelson and her
baby.
The news excited a great deal Of
comment and on Sunday probably
400 people visited the home and
viewed the apparition and many
recognizing it as the, picture of the
former Mrs. Donelson.
Among those in town who went
Ceilings, the barber, Cecil Shoe
maker, proprietor of the Royal
Cafe and Levi Lowry, a University
student who is home spending his
vacation These and many others
living nearer the home which is
about five miles north of town claim
to have recognized the picture which
is a little larger than mans hand:

The home of Morg Donaldson,
just north of Alvord is the scene of
much excitement as the result OF an

Mr. Donaldson's wife and little
baby died. While seated in this
house Friday night he says she ap-
peared before him. Then he saw
a hand on the ceiling and it left a
picture there of the lady and child
as they appeared in their burial
casket. His father and mother who
live with him, were in the room and
state that they too. saw the hand.N
The drawing still appears on the
ceiling and hundreds of people have
been going there since to see it.
The picture is traced in white and
is easily seen. Mr.. Donaldson, who
is a very religious man, says it ap-
pears to him as sign to the 'un-
believer.
To visitors it is quite mystifying.
A Post reporter visited the Donald
son home Monday. He was shown
the picture and Mr.. Donaldson and
members of his family told of how
it came there. Cars were coming
crowded the house and yard, dis

Injured by q Bull.

Bob Axes was painfully injured
by one of their bulls at the Axes
farm south of Leon last Wednesday
afternoon. He was caring for the
animal in the barn and when he
would not move to suit him Bob
went after him to make him and Mr..
Bull resented it and went after Bob
pretty hard, knocking him against
the side of the stall breaking cou-
pie of ribs and tearing the ligaments
of his leg. The enraged animal
might have killed him if his Collie
attacked the bull allowing Bob to
get away from him.
