regard in •• the present Turkish troubles
in relation to proph.-.-y, Klder W. II.
Kbert, of l'ranktou, Ind.. one of the
leading exponents of that belief, said:
''We Seventh Day Adventists believe
the present Turkish crisis foreshadows
the end of the world, the destruction
of its kingdoms and the second com-
ing of Jesus Christ. Wc base
our belief upon the fulfillment of
prophecy and s.*e in tlie present move-
ment of nations the gathering together
of the nations to light the last great
1 ;i i tlo of t ho r ill uries t he bat tie of
Armageddon. The Ottoman power, or
Mohammedan power, is the one
meant in the ninth chapter of
Revelations, * which was to be
given power to torment men live
months, or 150 years in prophetic
time, when it was t ) gain supremacy
and be given power to kill men 391
years and fifteen days. The Ottoman
power fulfills all these conditions for
it was founded by Otlnnan July 27,
1299, and for I V) years tormented men
when it became supreme until August
11, 1840. The nations are now moving
towards that battlefield, and all their
terrible implements of modern war-
fare will be ther.' wh \ the seventh
vial is poured, when the ittle of
Armag< Ld< i,wh . N <!. i I in sym-

sult. The l.Tnited Stair will probably
not be represented in this battle, but
will be among the rvnn int left to be
destroyed aft i i \\ i • !. When this battle
occurs, as it shortly must, its climax
will be the second coining of Christ.
The end of all things is even now at
the door, and the nations cannot long
strangle tho Turkish complications, as
the unrest of nations is urging them
on to bring about th< 1 things, for fear
of which nations are trembling. The
time is near; watch."
Matty Hold Land .Swindles.
Sioi'x City, la., Nov. 21. — F. R Rob-
inson, an attorney of t iiis place, has
just succeeded in unearthing the oper-
ations of a Des Moines concern which
for some time has been engaged on a
large scale in the manufacture and
sale of bogus deeds and mortgages.
The company usually selected a piece
of land in some remote district, gener-
ally in a swampy or heavily timbered
country, the exact location of which
could not be proved except at great
expense, prepared a deed covering it
and exchanged the deed for encum-
bered land which the owner was
about to lose and for which ho
was glad to get whatever the
company was willing to give
him. The concern then paid off
the encumbrance on the property so
secured and sold it at a profit. The
locations usually selected for the
spurious deeds were Christian county,
Mo., Washington county, (ia.,and Wy-
oming county, W. Va. The deeds had
every appearance of being regular and
were accompanied by abstracts of title
purporting to cover the entire period
from the time of the grant by the gov-
ernment to the day of the transfer by
the company.

trained "bobbies" of Scotland yard.

secretary has given particular atten-
tion in his report to lite featuiv in re-
gard to the increase of the navy. It
has been stated that Mr. Herbert
would make no recommendations for
an increase. This is untru • The sec-
retary has nlwavs been ail advocate of
constant addition to the force of ves-
sels in service, and his report Ibis year
will not differ very much from
those lie has made in the
past. What the I'nitel States par-
ticularly need-, in the opinion of the
secretary are battleshios and torpedo
boats, and his report will contain rec-
ommendations for tho construction of
some nt' these vessels. The bureau of
ordnance recommended that twelve
torpedo boats be built, and this is
about the number Mr. Herbert will
ur;e congress to authorize. At pres-
ent it, looks as though he will ask for
two battlesh ps at least and the num-
ber of torpedo boats referred to. He
will also ask congress to authorize the
construction of two training ships, of
the sailing type, for the use of naval
cadets, their cost to be £250,000 each.

Ashland, Wis., Nov. 21.—One hun-
dred and twenty settlers • outh of Ash-
land are, by a decision received from
the general land ofliee yesterday, made
homeless. Their claims, 20,000 acres
of land with every quarter section
containing a house and I arn, will be
taken away from them by the govern- ;
ment and given to the Wisconsin Cen-
tral Railroad Co. This decision is car-
rying out the ruling of the supreme i
court in the Ivuight-Osborno ease, j
Under this ruling certain lands
through this region which were sup-
posed to belong to the government and ,
which have been opened for settlement
and entry by the government and have
been taken up by scores of settlers are
held by the supreme court to rightful- '
ly belong to the Visconsin Central
railway. Now the government is
obliged to cancel all the entries on 1
these lands in order to give the rail- 1
road company title.

The Cuban Insurgent tJeneral, Maximo Ho-
me*. Marching Toward (Jen Campos*
Headquarters V Reported Untile.
Kky Wkst, Kla.. Nov. 21.—Much
alarm exists in oflicial circles in Ha-
vana in consequence of the confirma-
tion of a rumor that the chief of the
insurgents, Maxim > liomez, is only a
short distance from the headquarters
of Martinez. Campos, near the village
of Santa Clara. The oldest son of (Jen.
Campos, accompanied by an inspector
of artillery, yesterday reconnoitered on
horseback the outskirts of Havana, lo-
cating the strategic points, where will
bo placed the new batteries of heavy
Krupp cannon which will shortly ar-
rive there.
A New York Herald dispatch from
Havana of late date says: Rebel re-
ports received here declared that a big
battle has been fought in Santa Clara
near Macanagua, the Cuban forces be-
ing led by Gome/., who defeated the
Spanish troops and killed Aldavo, their
general, with two other high military
officials. The report, however, is flatly
contradicted by the Spanish author-
ities.
Miner* Hranted Their Demands.

will report to a mass meeting of min-
ers. IJy the settlement at this mine
200 men will go back to work.
