Aug. 6.—The body of Miss Minnie West, 18 years old, was found with a bullet hole in the breast in the bed ofadry creek a bout seven miles from town yester- day. Mise West was last seen alive Saturday, when she went to the home of a neighbor and borrowed a re- volver, saying that it was for a Doctor Wilson. A pistol shot was heard in the woods half an hour af- terward, but no heed was paid to it. When she failed to return, home a search was instituted, and the body finally found. The bullet which caus- ed her death pierced the heart.

Washington, Aug. 6 —It Admira) Evans had good navigators on al his battleships of she Atlantic fiset. they could maneuver, without collid- ing, inthe beer produced in this country in the year ending June 30 ast. lt necessary, all the battlsbip: afloat, no matter what their nation ality, could be berthed in a basin filled with the products of American breweries. Even then there would be more than enough left according to the opinion of the teetotalers, to quench the thirst of the crowds that would gather to see the 210 battle- ships, which is the number the world owns. The production of beer, according to the preliminary report issued by tho Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue, was 54,651,637 barrels of thirty-one and a half gallons each, or 1,721,526,664 gallons, about twenty billlon hage “schooners” of the Hqutd. That gave each of the 80,000,000 of Americans an allowance of about 260 schooners, or about five per woek, Cutting the allowance down to the ordinary sized “beer” that comes over the bar to the thirety one who produces the necessary nickel, the allowance will eastly be more than 400 glaaves to each ind!- vidual. Apparently, the prohibition laws of the country have not reduced the consumption of beer a particle. Oa the contrary, the {ncrease in produc- tion and, of course, {n consumption, over the preceeding year amounted to 160,000,000 gallons, or two ad- ditional gallons for each individual. The total revenue from fermented liquors, practically all beer, were $55,641,858. The recelpts from beer alone were $54,651,636. The receiptsfrom spirits amounted to $148,894,055. an increase of $7,435,542 over the last fiscal year. The Sncrease in the receipts from tobacco was $2,763,086, the total being $48,422,997. The total in- come from all sources for the year was $256,102,738, against $234,- 187,976, an increase of $14,914,761. The largest increase was in chewlog and smoking tobacco, the receipts from this {tem being $21,204,029, against $20,069,346 the year before. Of the grand total, the following was contributed by Southwestern States: Missouri, $8,752,729. IllMnois, $52,471,405. Arkansas, $125,046. Kansas, $320,147. Texas, $690,368.

WALKING ON HOT STONES. A Ceremony That is Siill a Fee- ture of Celebration In Tahiti. From the World To-day. In Tabiti men still believein magic At certain celebrations they make a bed of red hotstones. A necromanc- er raises his bamboo wand, moves It slowly from side to side, mounts slowly to the top of the causeway, stands for an instant with armsrais- ed aloft, ps moving rapidly; then deliberately and carefully steps from stone to stone. A second time he crosses the path of red hot fire fol- lowed by his four disctples. Through an iuterpreter all are urged to have faith, and tread the necromaucer’s flery paw. A young Frenchman steps forward, defiantly twirling bis little mustache; an American tourist follows; then one or two natives whose daring {1s ap plauded by their fellows. Once more the necrowsiver stepe | up the Incline of the causeway, al- ways waving his wand. With set lips the novices follow, shrinking fearfully at firet, then proceeding with confidence, shading faces and eyes from the fierce radiation of the heated stones. Accomplishing the transit, they show that thelr shoe soles were not even singed, but they offer no explanation further than, “Don’t ask me how it {s done; I can’t understand it!” A bucket of water is brought, one of the red-hot stoues dropped into {t, and up spouts a cloud of steam. The necromancer walke through the crowd, offerlog himeelt for!nspection and for touch. Like the three chil- dren of Holy Writ, “upon his body fire has had no power, nor {ea hair of his head singed, nor has the smell of fire passed on him.” CORNER-STONE LAYING.

The central com mittee of the social democrats was captured and pluced tn prison in the sarily bours and the greatest confu- ation prevails in the revolutionary camp. The hope of the revolutiontsts is now centered in Moscow. The St Petersburg railroad committee has de- cided to ewalt the result af the strika at Moscow before attempting to order gut the men, Wednesday is now the day on which they say the railroad strike will begin. The employes oi several af the street railroad lines who struck Saturlay have resumed work. The prefect of poltce of Oronstadt acting under the authority of the com- mander of the fortress bas notified the striking longshoremen there that un- less they return to work Tuesday they will be expelled from the island. A private dispatch from the Weet- inghouse branch at Moscow received late Monday said the men Were at work and that the manager had been assured by the prefect of police that a general strike {n Moscow was tm possible, The authorities are using all the means at their disposal to block the revolutionary moves in every dire thon and appear convinced that the strike leaders cannot gather sufficient headway to endanger the life of the state. Indeed they believe that noth- tng more than local strikes which will soon degenerate into the ald story of crimé and terrorism will result. The principal danger is expected in south Russia, from which the tide might sweep northward. The Novoe Vremya Hkens the present war pro- claimed by the revolutionists to “in turieted beasts, striking blindly and wildly in the dark.” Moscow, Aug. 6.—All fhe railroad stations Monday morning were ooccu- pied by troops and heavy reinforce ments were sent to the Industrial sections. The police are arresting the members of all the central committees ot the various trades uniona, No trains left Moscow Monday morning over the Kazan railroad which took {the head in the strike of last Novem- vst. The employes of the electric light plant failed to appear for duty Mon- day. Cossacks and other troops are protecting the water works.
