A FiMpino priest named Grogorie Agri pay, with the insurgents, is trying to lead a movement for tho independence of the church in the Philippines from tho Spanish priesthood. He has is sued a proclamation declaring himself tho vicar general of all tho Filipino priests in the district of American control on the island of Luzon, and is inciting the priests to disobey the regulations of the church and the brotherhoods. The archbishop of the district has issued a bull excommunicating Agri pny and this action has increased the feeling jetween the Filipinos and the church. The archbishop threatened to excommunicate the owners of Span ish papers publishing announcements of Protestant and Masonic meetings, whereupon an American paper warned him that ho might be bundled out of the island like any disturber of the peace if ho should incite reiiious animosities. The Dominic in friars have begun the publication of a newspaper under tho title of El Libertas for the purpo.-e of defending the brotherhood.

Victim of lh KogltlTO'a Wild Shooting Willi Lives H rot tier of Jesse Advises llliu to ICetorn and Stand Trial, lle Uevtns; He Will Me Able to I'nt I'p a (Strong Defense. OELLEVUE, Neb., July 23. Hubert, the victim of Jesse McCarty's wild shooting at Fort Crook City last night, still Uvea, with favorable chances of recovery and in a condition as com fortable as a 44-calibor ball In his back will permit under tho best of caro and medical skill. Tho would-bo asHassin is still at largo and badly in iurod. bo eomo of his friends hero assert. On arrival here this morning Sheriff Sam Startzor first searched McCarty's home and vicinity. This was about 2 a. m., while tho affray occurred about 10 p. m , and McCarty's wounds had been drossed by Dr. W. C. Huol, tho local physician hero at lip. m., after which suitable cover had boon at tended to, or a clean trail left. Apprehending this fact, Startzor then organized a posso of deputies and proceeded to search the dwellings f several of McCarty's relatives and friends, whose; unliable compliance served to confirm tho officer's belief that tho cover was deemed aaiisfac tory, more than which ttie dense Bfhrubberv investing a considerable portion of the town could leave noth ing to be desired. Every clue was faithfully traced. A misplaced oar near one of the boats at tho landing caused tho sheriff to cross the river in search of tho trail, but none was discovered, and about o clock this morning the chase was abandoned, while the pursuod was left, prosumablv. in the bosom of friends. i(: "Liusey," Jesse's hired man, who participated in the scrimmage, was taken into custody by the sheriff. In an interview with Jim McCarty, a brother of Jesse, ho laid tho whole blame to whisky, and said that if in his brother's place he would give him self up and fight tho case, claiming that Jesse did not do all tho shooting, and that tho evidence would show that Reynolds was using V.is gun at the same time that Jesse was struck down from behind, and that when Reynolds left beating him ho said: 'There, you've got a dead man; drag him out, showing an intention to give Jesse the worst of it in Reynolds' saloon. That some sucn course will ba pur sued is generally accepted, as Jesse McCarty, unlike his brothers, is quite thrifty, having some stock and valu able crops, which might enable him to put up a strong defense in a legal wav . LEAGUERS START FOR HOME Young MettioriiHts' Convention Considers Different I'haBes of Mission Work. Ixdianai'OIJS, Ind., July 23. The Epworth league convention formally adjourned tonight to meet in San Fran cisco in 1901. The work was practic ally ended last night. The final ses sion was devoted to addresses on "Mis sions. " Incoming trains today brought thoue ands of visitors and it was estimated that the nbmber of delegates had reached the 20,000 mark. The visiting ministers filled city pulpits in the morning and the after noon was devoted to missionary con ferences. Tonight Hon. F. D. Fuller of Topckn, Kan., presided in tho tent, Rev. J. F. Berry of Chicago at Tomlin fon hall, Rev. J. H. Riddell of Winni peg, Man., in the opera house and Rev, W. B. Chapman of Louisville at Rob erts Park church. Rev. John F. Goucher of Baltimore delivered an ad dress on mission work in India. He has j 'set returned from an inspection of the missionary stations in that coun try and spoke of the progress of the Epworth league. He had with him twenty n gs from India Epworth leasrues. Bishop McCabe, "tho chap- laio of Libby prison," spoke of "Mis sionary Work in the South." Other speakers of the evening were: Rev. Alonza Mink, Chattanooga; Rev. W. F. Wilson, Hamilton, Ont. ,Rov.

The delegates will leave the city tomorrow. The board of control will begin its meeting tomorrow morning, which will probably last till Wednesday. Bishop Ninde of Detroit is chairman of this board. The most important matter to come before the board will be the question of federation of the young people's societies of the league. The News prints the news. And the Fat Kan That ('rm-.doil Into a Car Seat. Boston Herald: I saw u fuLuy bight the other night on a boulevard elec tric, which rather knocked the "end hos" silly. A man weiain in the neighborhood of 400 pounds shoved a woman with him In the sr at which al ready held two other passengers; one of them yielded to pressure and moved in, the other held the fort, and then came the tug-of-war. The stout par ty became purple with rage: "Please move up." The "end ho.4" blandly answered: "I can't." Then the 400 rounder made one more desperate ef fort, and finally squeezed himself through the second place, puffing and panting with the exertion. But his woes were not over. A woman had stopped the car, and as the conductor counted hut four heads for this partic ular bench, he ordered her In thre; and she went, climbing over the "end hog" to a space of less than three inches besides the choleric passengor, who was the embodiment of six fur naces. It was more laughable to see the indignation on the count nanrco of those this last wedge had made miser able. The "end hog" hung his fare over the running hoard and tried to breathe; the fat party sprawled out hia elbows and grumbled to his compan ion, and the other end sealer lninch' d herself Into nothingness in vain. When the "fifth wheel" to this coach finally got off the car she was crushed to gether like an opera hat. Then Hie others expanded, and once more four passengers on that particular bench were more than it could convenient' accommodate. I was sorry to leave without knowing whether the s'oul gentleman had the right of war, or if he stepped on and obliterated foiever the "end hog" when he readied his destination. Special Summer .

In twenty-five years Sarah Bernhardt has, it is announced, been paid nearly 1 1,250,000 for her exertions on the stage and she is now fulfilling a compara tively short engagement which will add about another $250,000 to that large sum. In the last ten years her average gains have been $60,000 a year; In the last five, $100,000; yet in 1S72, at the Odeon theater, she earned only $40 a month. A good story is told of the young crown prince of Germany. Soon after Bismarck's retirement the emperor and empress were at dinner with their el der children and some eminent states men, when the young prince suddenly broke out with: "Tliey say, father, that now Prince Bismarck has gone, you will be able to tell the people to do just what you like, all by yourself. You will enjoy that, won't you?" The duchess of Marlborough and the duchess of Devonshire probably have the finest pearls in England, the Man chester necklace being very well known. Many smart ladies wear their pearls constantly, although they are not seen, as they are worn under a high dress, as pearls are supposea to keep their color better when worn next to the skin. Pearls have, within the last twenty-five years, increabed in value 1,000 per cent. A party of David City fishermen caught a large oel measuring thirty- two inches in length, nine inches in circumference, and weighing about five pounds.

It is not generally known that many flashes of lightning not only measure themselves but actually manufacture the recorder by which they are denned. When a bolt of lightning strikes a bed of sand it plunges downward into the sand for a distance lo.s or greater, transforming simultaneously into glass the silica in the material through which it passes. Thus, by its great heat, it forms a glass tube of precisely its own size. Now and then such a tube known as "fulpirit" found and dug up. Fulgurites have b-:en followed into the sand by excavation for nearly 30 feet. They vary in interior diame- ; ter from the size of a quill to three inches or more, according to the "bore" of the flash. Fulgurites are found also ! in solid rock, though very naturally of j slight depth, and frequently existing merely as a thin, glassy coating on the j surface. Such fulgurites occur in as- j tonishing abundance on the summit of ! Little Ararat in Armenia. The rock is i soft and so porous that blocks a foot j long can be obtained, perforated in all J directions by little tubes filled with j bottle-green glass formed from the j fused rock. There is a small Fpccini'sa : in the national museum which has the appearance of having been bored by the toredo, and the holes made by the worm subsequently filled with glass. Some wonderful fulgurites v.-ere found by Humboldt, on the high , vada de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of rock were covered with a thin layer of green glass. Its peculiar shiiua.er in the sun led Humboldt to ascend U.o precip itous peak, at the ri.k of his life. r.t !66 Cream da later m m m 6 u ..IN ALL FLAVORS OUR Chocolate and Vanilla Beat the World G ..DRUGGISTS.. m m m m m m 122 HI m m m m m w m m tx m m Oilicc-r Hen Stun. p. who wat chot bv ti tram p at Falls City one night last week, is still alive and m y recover, ! notwithstanding tb- fact that lie was j shot in the forehead with a U-ca liber j revolver.
