A man who had lived in DOB Molnes ,
Iowa , for 00 years dropped dead Christ
inas morning. People of rival lown
cities will probably concrde that ho had
rwxson for dropping dead.
The Poncn Journal has recently ah-
Korbcd the Dixon Tribune , making the
second paper it ban taken in within two
months. The Journal is exorcising the
practivitics of an octopus on a miwll

The report is that a man has fro/.en to
death in Louisiana. Ho escaped from
3'oil mid in an endeavor to ovndo the of-
ilcerH of the law the horrible fate overtook -
took him. It is expected that the next
uows will contain information of people
to death ou the Sahara desert.
And now it is claimed that a serum
liaa boon discovered for the oure of
oholorn , typhoid fever and other similar
discuses. It is to bo hoped that the
doctors Imvo not missed their guons.
Undoubtedly consumption and other
nppoBcd-tO'bo luourablo diseiiKOB will
likewise shortly fall before the progress

The practical joker has received an
other lesson. Frank Royal , n Duck
Jlill , MisH. , man , entered the homo of
his sinter after dark and failing to an-
HWOT her challenge UH to who was there ,
wns shot and killed by his nlocn , M

tangled npsomooll recognized theories ,

U. Kawol , a Japanese newspaperman ,
la in this country purchasing material
far n largo modern daily newspaper
plant in his country. There is little
doubt that the Japanese people are pro-
grossing. This is bnt another evidence
that their civilization is becoming of
the highest and that they are winning
their place as the leading country of the
far east.
luuis , the baud master , is QUO of the
greatest advertisers ou the road and
those , who believe kiu that method of
making things win , will not doubt Mrs.
Inues' claim that ho is making $30,000
to $60,000 a year from his concerts and
lias $100,000 invested In stocks. There
are those who will believe that his suit
for divorce is probably a shrewd adver
tising scheme.
Friends of Secretary Wilson had
feared that the appointment of Gover
nor Shaw to a cabinet position might
mean his retirement , but Governor
Shaw has relieved their anxiety
by announcing that ho made it a
condition of his acceptance that Secre
tory "Wilson should remain in the cabi
net. Iowa politicians are evidently
reaping a share of their reward for keep
ing the state in line with the national
administration.
The ecclesiastical court of jurisdiction
at Rome is evidently averse to hurry
ing religious matters in the way the
modern world hurries other things. It
lias recently decided that it would be
improper to hear confessions by tele
phone aud now it has decreed that the
asking and receiving of dispensations
from canonical laws by telegraph and
cable are not proper , Undoubtedly too
many people would perform their relig
IOUB functions on the rash order if they
were permitted to believe that it was
effective.

One day In a London tolmcconlst'i
fihop Sandow , the strong man , was
handed some change , and in the middle
of It he saw something that looked
like a bad shilling. He pushed It back
across the counter. "I think that one
Is bad , " he said.
"Nonsense , " said the shopkeeper ,
with an Incredulous air. He took up
the shilling and tried It In the little
brass coin tester that was screwed to
the side of the counter. Then he ten
dered it again. "It's quite good , " he
snld. "I can't bend It. "
Sandow smiled and took It between
his linger and thumb. "You can't bond
Itl May I try ? " he asked.
"Certainly , " said the man , with a
grin.

The strong man pressed the tip of
his forefinger toward the tip of his
