A NEW KIND OF MISTAKE.
I Contributor to Fundi ef Church Fur-
nlihed a Surprise.
'‘Possibly most men who handle
I church collections have had experl-
I encc with the man who has mistaken
a flve-dollar gold piece for a penny,”
I said the assistant treasurer of a
Broadway church. "I have mot the
gentleman frequently myself. Some-
times he l as given me trouble mixed
with surprise, but. the last time I had
dealings with him he simply furnished
the surprise minus the trouble. He
came to sec mo early on Monday
[ morning.
■ 'I attended service yesterday,’ he
said. "I made a mistake when you
took up the collection. I had a penny
and a flve-dollar gold piece in my
pocket. I think--”
| "The old gentleman stopped to take
breath. Before he could go on I cut
in impatiently. I had heard the same
complaint before and thought it Just
as well to shut down on him before
he had a chance to commit himself.
I think you are mistaken,’ I aald.
'We had no flve-dollar gold pieces in
Sunday’s collection.'
i hat is just wnat i am trying to
get at.' said the old gentleman. ‘You
should have had one. I meant to put
mine in the basket, hut I made a mis-
take and dropped In the penny in-
stead. i came back this morning on
purpose to give you the five.' ”
Why it Thii True?

Charles L. Pendleton of Providence,
has given to the Rhode Island school
of Design the art collection which he
has gathered through a groat many
years of collecting. His collection
comprises eighteenth century English
and colonial furniture, pictures, an-
tique Chinese porcelains, Chinese
china of the eighteenth century, early
eighteenth century English pottery,
antique rugs and sixteenth century
textiles.
Auk's Egg Brings £200.
A great auk's egg was sold in Lon-
don recently for 200 guineas. It is
regarded as one of the best marked
of the sixty or seventy specimens in
existence. The history of the egg is
interesting, in 1842 it was sold for
£2. Ten years later the price was in-
creased to £04, for which sum it was
purchased by Lord Garvage. Then
it disappeared, and was reported to
have been broken by a careless ser-
vant.

More Than They Can Stand.

Peninsula.
THE FLOOD AT FLOODED POINTS.
A Serious Problem Where Towns Were
Just Recovering From Floods.
Kansas City, Mo.. July 12.—The
suburbs of Kansas City. Kansas, are
having a serious time. It is thought
■probable that Armourdale will never
again be occupied. The people are
discouraged at the floods of the past
thirteen months. In this district the
flood is as serious last year.
The Smoky Hill is making trouble
yet for Salina and Junction City.
Obanute, Iola, Burlington and other
towns in the Neosho valley report
little change in the flood. Water is
four feet deep In some of the leading
stores of Burlington.
The Cottonwood is receding at
Emporia and other points In that vi-
cinity.
In Ottawa the third flood of the
year has done great damage. The
town is just begining to recover.
Railroad traffic is yet seriously re-
tarded. In most instances the roads
expect to be in working order by
the first of the week.
No estimate of the damage to the
crops has been made. It will be enor-
mous. Dickinson county estimates
that CO pc-r cent of the lowland wheat
there is ruined. Corn is badly hurt.
Harvest of the upland wheat can com-
mence at once, if no more rain falls.
Kansaas City. Mo., July 12.—Not
for many days will normal conditions
prevail at Armourdale. Argentine
and the low lying portion of eastern
Kansas City, Kan., where hundreds
of houses of the working classes are
under water, and many plants are
inundated. In the low portion of Ar-
mourdale. which is located in the
most unfavorable portion of the flood
district, the water is from three to
six feet deep, while surrounding the
Nelson Morris packing house, north-
east of Armourdale and close to the
mouth of the Kaw the river is twelve
feet deep.
Armourdale is practically aban-
doned. the streets running rivers, and
this town if 5,000 may never be re-
built, two disastrous floods in thir-
teen months utterly discouraging a
majority of its former inhabitants.
The loss will be heavy.
After flooding a portion of the west
bottoms of the Missouri side to a
depth of four feet, the water in the
jobbing district and in the railroad
yards became stationary at noon, and
began to fall when within three
blocks of the Hnion station. The
flood in the west bottoms was caused
uj back water, which receded quick-
ly when the Kaw began to go down.
1 St. Petersburg, July 12.—The cap-
ture of Kai Chou by the Japanese,
announced from Tokio, is not official-
ly confirmed at the war office, but
there is no disposition to question the
probable correctness of the report, as
the latest advices received made it
plain that the Japanese were advanc-
ing in force along the railroad against
the Russian position.
The Emperor and hjs military suite
who left. St. Petersburg for the Volga
region to bid farewell to the Fifth
and Sixth army corps, may have al-
ready received General Kumpatkin’s
report, but the general staff has not
yet received General Sakharoff’s re-
port. which usually follows Kuropat-
kin’s at a short interval. The occu-
pation of Kai Chou, while it is not
believed that it will exercise mater-
ial influence on Kuropatkin's strat-
egy, is of importance to the Japanese,
as it brings them within reach of
Newchwang, facilitating General
Oku’s juncture with General Kuroki,
who may already be in touch.
The capture of Kai Chou (Kai
Ping) throws the Japanese line clear
across the Liao Tung peninsula and
from tho Yalu river to the Laio Tung
gulf. Kai Chou is about twenty-five
miles sc-.ith of Yin Kow, the port of
Newchwang. which is on the railway,
and about twelve miles to the south-
east of Newchwang.

Clever Woman Had Purpose in Not
Resenting Remark.
Adolf Von Menzel, the Grand Old
Man of Germany, world famous as
both scholar and artist, loves music
and hates women—"dislikes” may be
a more accurate word. Every year
he goes to Kissingen for the "cure”
and to enjoy the music, and as both
o t lose bring the old gentleman
rather more closely into touch with
leminme society than is to his own
Pleasing there are many good stories
told oi what he has said and dene
under provocation.”
One afternoon he was seated with a
friend in the Kur Garten, listening to
a favorite march, when a couple cf
ladies sealed themselves at the next
fable and at once started conversing
m an extra loud tone. Menzel stood
it for less than a minute.
"I wish those geese would stop
cackling!" he exclaimed to his vis-a-
vis.
But one of the geese evidently knew
him at least by sight, for rising and
crossing to the gre-’t man she said, in
tones that showed he was not in the
least offended: "May 1 ask vou to

Russians Retreated.
Tokio, July 13.—The Russian cruis-
ers, Bayan. Novik and Pallada. two
gunboats and seven torpedo boat de-
stroyers came out of the harbor of
Port Arthur on Saturday morning.
July 9, preceded by a number of
steamers engaged in clearing a way-
mines. The Russian vessels reached
a point between Sensikat and Lun
Wan Tang, where they were attacked
by a Japanese flotilla of torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers.
Fire w.as exchanged with the Bayan!
The Russian vessels retreated to the
harbor.
Admiral Togo reports that the Jap-
anese vessels had one cabin boy
slightly wounded. The vessels them-
selves sustained no damage.

We Now Have Radiumitis.

the word “electric" leaped info fame
with the arc light, the telephone and
the trolley ear, has a newly discov-
ered term been so popular as ra->' —-i
and its derivatives. Already we

tooth paste, and so on, just as there
used to be electric soap, electric pol-
ish. electric tooth powder, electric
cleaning material and even electric
silk. The properties of the mysteri-
ous radium, of course, no more enter
into tho a:tides which bear that
name or names allied to it, than soap
or silk, polish or powder was electri-
fied. Yet the new term. ap-'!d even
to old and well-known at os, ap-
peals to many people who don't both-
er to think what it may or may rot
mean.
Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers say they don't keep
defiance Starch. This is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands
containing only 12 oz in a package
which they won't be able to sell first’
boeause Defiance contains 16 o*. for
the same money.
Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 o*.
for same money? Then buy Defiance

vided he doesn't work the wrong

Against Allen and Anthony.
Topeka. Kans.. July 1C.—The Su-
preme Court today decided against
H J. Allen and D. R. Anthony. Jr., in
the congressional contest cases. The
c- nrt says no evidence of fraud Is
produced against the contest board.
I fit that it is a question of the con-
struction of the law by the board
and the court will not take up this
question or bear «he contests on
Go ir merits. This is the final action
in the contests and means that the
names of Congressmen Curtis and
Bowersock will go on ibe republican

the most capable man in the college
is a German who came here with a
Rhodes, scholarship. Ho is also. I
should say. the most popular man in
