OWLS PRESIDENT

TO GO TO To Appear There to Answer , Fraud Charges. South Bend, Ind., July IS. John, W. Talbott of South Bend, president of the Order of Owls, which holds a national membership of .'!9,000, has made arrangements to go to Chattanooga, Tenn., to enter his appearance in the Commissioner's court and file a bond for his appearance at the September term of the Federal court at Nashville, Tenn., to answer to the charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Talbott was notified that warrants had been issued for his arrest by the United States commissioner at Chattanooga on complaint of Detective Pogue and H. A. Garrett, members of the Owls' Nest in this city. He said he knew nothing of the matter from an official source, but that he would go immediately to that city and submit to arrest. ORANK TO SAVt. A CITY. Legend of the Quaint Old Town of Itotbeaburir. Much Is made of the legends and history ef the quaint mediaeval town of Rothenburg, as is natural where they lay so much stress on their past glories, says the Metropolitan Magazine. The shop windows are full of big glass cups with painted figures of the emperor, the seven electors and other worthies (souvenirs for the unwary tourist), and in some of the decorations of inns and wine rooms a man la pictured drinking out of such a cup, accompanied by verses alluding to a Georg Nusch and to a Meister-Trunk. We wondered about it till we found ft local guide book with tbe explanation. It seems this Nusch by his famous drink saved the town several centuries ago. He was a senator and a son of the innkeeper of the Rother Hahn (Red Cock), which is still standing a little way down the street here. Many of the Inns are hundreds of years old and are run under the same name? they have always borne. Well, during the wars of the reformation this was a Protestant town and was besieged and taken by Tilly after a spirited resistance. He entered the place followed by his train and proceeded to the Rathus, where the burgermelster and the senators were assembled, and In the barbarous style of those days rdered that they all be beheaded. Then there was such wailing and entreaties from the wives and children and townspeople that he finally said he would be content with the death of four, but the rest would not listen to this and said all of them or none, or something to that effect, and the burgermeister was sent off to get the executioner. At length, when everything was In a great uproar, Tilly called for drinks, and a trembling barmaid brought him a great stirrup cup of Tauber wine. He drank from it and passed It on to some of his men, and still It wasn't emptied when suddenly 6trucW by Its size and being in a better humor from the wine he said in Jest: "If any man of you can empty this full cup at one draft I will show mercy and spare the town." At this ajl the people stood and stared, not one daring to undertake It (the cup held three quarts) until Nusch, thinking that would at least be the pleasanter death and probably used to drinking a great deal, said he would try It. Everybody was breathless with suspense, fearing he would give out before emptying the cup, but on and on be went till the last drop was drained. He had only strength enough left to band the cup to Tilly and say, "Thy promise," when he fell fainting to the ground, ne recovered, lb a few days, however, and lived to be eighty. And Tilly kept his word. The First Submarine Boats. In 1644 Van Drebbel, a Dutchman, built Ip London a submarine boat which could contain twelve rowers as well as some passengers, and on one occasion James I. descended beneath the Thames In the vessel. The Inventor Is said to have discovered a liquid possessing the important property of rendering the air in the confined space under hatches suitable for repeated Inhalation and thus to prolong the time Which could be spent under water. The first submarine boat used in warfare, 1777, was built by David Bushnell in Connecticut. It was managed by one man, who could remain thirty minutes under water. Fulton, a New Yorker, made one to hold eight men, who could be supplied with air for eight hours under water. Fan a aa Dustpans. In Japan the uses of the fan are many and various. They are wielded by men, women and children, by soldier and civilian. A butterfly shaped fan in the bands of the umpire at a wrestling match is made to convey all sorts of messages, which are promptly understood and attended to by the combatants. Grain Is winnowed by the farmer with a stout fan, and the domestic servant not only fans the embers of a charcoal fire, but she also uses her coarse paper fan as a dustpan for taking up the ashes. A Ship's Speed. A ship's speed is reckoned by knots, a knot being a geographical mile, or one-sixtieth of a degree. Six geographical miles are about equal to seven statute miles, and a ship that sails 12 knots therefore Is really moving at the rate of fourteen statute miles an hour. It should be remembered that it la incorrect to say so many "knots an hour." simply so many knots, for a knot means "one mile an hour." StrlnlnK" Him. A smart young fellow called out to a farmer who was sowing seed in his field: "Well done, old fellow. You sow. I reap the fruits. "Maybe you wfil," said the farmer, ."for I'm sowing hemp."

She never lost an opportunity to tell them how slight was the importance of Buch things. 1 "The reasou I didn't come last Sunday was because my coat wasn't finished," said small Mary Potter one day when questioned as to her nonappearance the week before. "My old one had spots on it that wouldn't come off and a place where the buttons had torn through." "But, Mary, dear," said the teacher gently, "you know it's not the outside that really matters." "Yes'm, I know.'vsaid little Mary, "but, Miss Willing, mother had ripped the lining out, so there wasn't any inside to look at!" Youth's Companion. The Strenaoas Life of Old. This is said to be a "strenuous" age. Doctors or people who dabble in the doctor's art talk about the "pace" we all live now, the stress and storm of life In England In the twentieth century, and so forth. But are we all so tremendously strenuous? Are we greater in will or work than Englishmen were in the Elizabethan age or than they were, say we take date at random in 1S0C? English literature and history do not show convincingly that this is so. London Saturday lieview. Xo Thoroaghfare.

FINALS OF SENIOR TENNIS TOURNAMENT Tom Campbell Meeting T. 0. Harrington Today. The finals of the senior tennis tournament are being played this evening between Tom Campbell and T. C Harrington. The finals of last year were between the same men. Campbell was winner of the singles for Earlham at the state met and is expected to win the match. He was the city champion of last year.

The Cutter Stock company, as organized, enlarged and perfected for the present season, producing all royalty productions will appear at the Gennett for two weeks, commencing with Monday evening, July 2th. No manager can surpass this mammoth popular priced organization, it is claimed which acknowledges no peer. All they ask Is an honest count and a truthful reckoning, and with these the management claims it can show that the Cutter company stands alone and reaches into realms impossible to others in the repertoire world. The opening play announced for Monday evening is: "For Home and Honor," a sensational society drama. It is brimful of good dramatic situations with an excellent vein of comedy running throughout. Prices for the week have been placed within the reach of all and ladies' free tickets will be given Monday night. lut i. .... y l:i Spelltnnr. "An English profosjor visited this country a few years ago," said a New York merchant, "and the first thins which attracted his attention was the spelling of the word 'whisky' In ah advertisement which was generously and prominently displayed from many points of vantage. The professor was accustomed to spell it 'whiskey.' "He did not. however, question the correctness of the spelling, but was curious to know why the advertiser preferred the shorter word. "The business man received his Inquirer politely and in answer to the professor's question said: " 'Our mhod of spelling makes unnecessary the Illumination of an extra letter in our electric signs.' " A Generous Offer. When Miss Helen Keller was at the exposition in St. Louis in 1904 she visited the Japanese tea house and for a few minutes shook hands with sqne of the waitresses, little olive colored women who spoke almost no English, but expressed their interest and intelligence without words. Many weeks after Miss Keller had returned to Boston she heard from an official of the exposition that one of the Japanese waitresses had gone to a St Louis physician and asked to have one of her eyes taken out and given to Miss Keller.

SCHEMES OF THIEVES

TRICKS OF THOSE WHO OPERATE IN JEWELRY STORES. The Way One Place Waa Completely Cleaned Oat Ho Show Wlndowa Are Broken Gettias a. Safe That Was Bolted to the Flooring. A number of Jewelers were dining together and with the cigars the talk turned on jewelry thieves and their methods. The first story was told of an individual who was seen lounging about the plate front window of a jewelry 6tore. No particular attention was paid to the man at the time, but the clerks recalled the incident after the robbery. In this instance the man appeared a number of times in front of the store. One evening soon after dark there was a sudden crash, and a robber was actively engaged in scooping In jewels with a hooked stick. In thirty seconds he was done and away. Bystanders stood as if petrified until the man struck out at a run. Then the store people and the bystanders realized what had occurred and shouting "Thief:" started after the man. The man dropped his bag. The pursuers stopped and seized the bag. They returned to the store with the bag in high glee, .remarking incidentally that there was no need In chasing the thief because here were the good. The proprietor of the store, and all the clerks had followed, but, having farther to go than the crowd, were behind and were met by the people with the bag. Proudly the bag was opened. It contained a brick. The thief had dropped it to check the pursuit. Realizing the trick had succeeded, the crowd, headed by the salesmen and proprietor, went back to the store, only to discover that the window had been cleaned of stock and the counters were bare of a number of costly articles. A policeman ou duty said that after the proprietor and clerks of the store ran for the departing thief a neatly dressed gentleman, with all the airs of a member of the firm, gave directions to two other men to get the stuff out of the windows and told him (the officer) that this was being done as a precaution against theft while the window was broken. In some first class stores there is a regular danger signal arranged, and the men are drilled each week. When the danger gong sounds one man takes his place at the door, another at the telephone to send word to the police, another with running qualities makes for the door in readiness to pursue, and so on. Among other stories told were some relating to the tricks and devices of the jewelry thieves. The robber often works at night or sometimes during a crowd by cutting out a disk of glass near where some costly goods ape shown. He may reach in and secure something and be off before detected if he Is quick. Sometimes he has a tong Instrument hidden under his coat, 60 that he can reach In and pick up a watch. Often again be uses a simple 6tick with a slightly turned end, booking Into a ring. The process of crushing In a plate frout .during the intervals of the patrol of the police, at the same time making no noise, is done by pasting cloth or heavy paper on the glass. A wood mallet is used, the hammer ends being securely bound up in a heavy woolen fabric stuffed with excelsior or kindred material. With this soft headed mallet It is possible to bang away noiselessly at the glass until the pane begins to crumble. Unless the plate Is usually thick an opening can be made without much trouble. In recent years jewelry thieves, like bank robbers, have rented quarters near the place they Intended to rob and lived there long enough to study the situation. In one case a room was hired over a jewelry store and entrance effected to the storn by means of a rope ladder dropped from the window of the room to a window leading to a hall In the store portion. In another case the bar spreader was used to open the bars of a window. This device consists of a spirally threaded shaft fitted Into, two blocks, with a central piece with a bar for turning. The blocks are adjusted between two bars, the central piece turned, whereupon the spiral shaft causes the blocks to expand sidewise, forcing the bars open. Then the Intruder can pass in. A story was told of the removal of a safe in which the proprietor of a Jewelry store was accustomed to put his costly stock each night. It was not a large safe, but exceedingly strong, and because of its light weight a number of bolts were put through the floor and connected with the safe bottom. The proprietor often said that thieves could not take the safe unless they took floor and all. Not long after the store was entered, and. behold, the thieves had sawed out the section of the floor to which the safe was fixed. The safe was bound up with rope, the latter passed under the separated section of flooring, and, when the boards were sawed through, safe, floor and all were lowered Into the basement and readily moved out through the basement door, put into an express wagon and carted off.

A PECULIAR MAN.

His Sana Waa Laisrss, and He Hast a Peeallar Experience. "In one of my voyages from Cap Town to England." writes a traveler, "I shared my cabin with a feculiar man, whose name was Lazarus. He made me promise that If he should die during the voyage I would prevent his burial at sea. He said that on a previous voyage he had fallen sick tnd was taken for dead and put into a sack for burial. A quartermaster had been put on to watch the body until it was time for the funeral. When the burial party arrived the quartermaster Informed the captain that he thought the body had moved ia the sack. The sack was opened, and Lazarus eventually came to life again. Such was the Btory Lazarus told me. Lazarus was a thin man with a sallow face. He had an enormous appetite and appeared at every meal, to which he devoted his whole energies. The good feeding only seemed to add to his corpselike appearance. One evening, sure enough, when we were about halfway to our voyage's end, he apparently died again. The doctors took him in charge this time, however, and he came out of his trance without any shotted sack episode. He was met at the London docks by a number of relatives and friends, all of whom looked as if they might be suffering from the same complaint." JUST EIGHT YEARS APART. Odd Fact Reaardlna; the A ares of Five Successive Presidents. John Adams was eight years older than his successor, Jefferson; Jefferson was eight years older than his successor, Madison; Madison was eight years older than his successor, Monroe, and Monroe was eight years older than his successor, John Quincy Adams. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe ended their terms each in the sixty-sixth year of his age. John Adams, Jefferson and Monroe ended their days on the Fourth of July, the two former dying within a few hours of each other, Just half a century after the Declaration of Independence. John Adams lived to be ninety years and eight months old, while Garfield died at the middle age of forty-nine years and ten months. Jefferson, Madison and John Quincy Adams lived to be octogenarians; Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore and Buchanan got well into the seventies, and Washington, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Johnson and Grant only reached into the sixties. Polk died at the age of fiftythree years and Lincoln and Arthur at fifty-six. Washington Post. THE STOMACH. If Yon Treat It Properly 'It Will Re turn tho Compliment. It Is not an uncommon thing to bear a man or woman say, "There Is something the matter with my stomach." They never stop to think whether they themselves are not at fault Instead of the stomach. It Is so easy to blame the stomach. It can't say anything back. But the truth of the matter is th stomach Is all right; nothing the mat ter with It at all. It is what Is put Into the stomach that Is causing the trou ble. The stomach knows when it re celves something that will be Injurious to the body or when It has been over loaded, and it protests against the In digestible article or the surplus amount of food. It Is acting as a friend and sending out a warning against this abuse. But Instead of being grateful to the stom ach and leaving off the Indigestible food and the big dinners the man ox tbe woman continues to load it with pie and cake, pickles and sauces, por.k and pancakes and all sorts of horrid things, and then they complain thai there Is something, the matter with their stomachs. London Mall. When tho Thwndes- Rolls. Excellent authorities agree that in a thunderstorm the middle of a room Is much the safest place in a house. A carpeted floor or one covered by a heavy thick rug is better to stand on than bare wood. It is well to keep away from chimneys and out of cellars. In the open air tall trees art dangerous. A person sheltered undet a low tree or shrub thirty or forty feel from a large and lofty tree is quIM safe. If lightning strikes in the immediate vicinity It will hit the hlgt -tree as a rule, with few exceptions Water is a very good conductor, and it is well to avoid the banks of strearai In a violent thunderstorm.

KERN WILL NOT ATTEND CELEBRATION Forced to Decline Henry Watterson's Invitation. Indianapolis, Ind., July 18. John Worth Kern, Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, was obliged to decline a pressing invitation from Henry Watterson and other prominent Kentuckians to attend the "greater LouIbville celebration next Wednesday. "I would have been pleased to have attended," said Kern, "but it was impossible to make arrangements to be present." Thfi Vice Presidential nominee looks as if he has been through the mill.

In Chesapeake bay, 125 miles south of Baltimore, with which city communication by boat three times a week may be depended upon during the summer season. Is the strange Island of Tangier, so completely isolated from the usual lines of travel that it hardly seems possible that It can be a part of the state of Virginia. Imagine, if you can, an islaud about five miles long and .three-fourths of a mile iu width, with a population of nearly 1,500, where each house is connected with Chesapeake bay by a tiny canal; an Island where the population has built homes along one narrow street but nine feet In width, without sidewalks, roadbed or gutter; an Island where the women go about with bare feet and calico gowns during tbe week and where the men leave for their work at an early hour on Mouday morning and remain away until Saturday afternoon; an Island where Intoxicating liquors are not sold, where billiard rooms and pool rooms are unknown; an island where one physician and the minister constitute the professional class; an Island where profanity Is punished by fine; an island without a Jail or lockup and where religion Is the rule and to be outside of the church Is to be outside of the pale of the best society; an Island where public cemeteries are unknown and where tbe dead of each home are buried in the front yard. If you can imagine all this, you may have some faint idea of the peculiar surroundings of tbe inhabitants w angler. Four Track News. Value of Ttart.
