Ghost Story from Mapleton. ONAWA, TIa., April 17.—(Specia)—~The country south of Mapleton is in a state of excitement because of a haunted house in the community. All sorts of stories are- rife and people are very much alarmed. It has been established with undeniable proot that the house In question. is the scene of | strange nolses and cries. People who have been in the house when such affairs were occurring declare that spooks or spirits are visiting the place. A murder was com- mitted in the house once and neighbors says that the departed spirit has just re- turned for revenge. Watohing parties have trapped for the spirit intruder, but have | been unsuccessful so far and the noises still continue. The farm, which is a val uable one, is now for sale at a low price.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DBS MQINES, April 17.—(Speclal)—Gov= ernor Cafroll today signed, what is known, as the Bwift bill, fathered in the legl ture by the representative from Shelby county, being a law to penalise a raliroad company at the rate of $0 a day for fallure to obey an order of the rallzoad commission. As a matter of fact, the pen- alty for fallure to obey under the old law was $1,000 to $10,00, but is was so severe that the penalty had never been imposed by the courts. . A The occasion for the bill was the fact that along in the winter the railroads, hich center in Harlan. Shelby county, were directed by the rallrond commission to make physical connections, and up to the present they have not done so. Tt.is explained that the order gave them only 6 days in which to do the work, and it was at @ seadof when it could be dome to advantage. But the bill was demanded by a great many Interesta In the bellef that it would put a stop to appeals to the courts merely for the purpose of delay. It was opposed by the raflroads on the ground that it was a measure of drastic character and no such penalty is inflicted elsewhere for merely resorting to the courts. Will Have a BDee Inspector. One of the new bills passed and which has just been signed by the governor pro- vides for a state bee inspector with au- thorlty to destroy bees and hives where they are found to be in unhealty condition. The place pays $3 a day and expenses, and the governor Is looking about for & man who s an expert in catching bees and diagnosing their allments. There has been but little complaint of any disease among the bees of the state, but the sclen- tists claim that there is some danger. Trouble Over Time Cloeck, The state officials are having trouble over installing a time recording system in the state house. The legislature included in the omnibus appropriation bill $20 for installlng such a system for the use of the custodian in keeping tab on the watch- man. There are two night watchmen at the capitol, both war veterans, and while it is common knowledge that the state house has been left at times with little,| protection, yet they and their friends have started a movement to have the councll refuse to install the time recording sys- tem, They clalm it is an insult to them as old soldiers to compel them to make re- ports at different places in the bullding while on watch, and that they should be trusted to make the rounds. No Change on Medical Board Members of the State Board of Health have announced that Secretary Thomas will hold his position for the coming year. This announcement was made after their meeting Tuesday, in answer to the rumor that the secretary would be deposed at the July meeting. Work Slow on Railroads. Several hundred men were thrown out of work temporarily today by the action of the Rock Island road in closing its shops i Valley Junction. The order halts work in all the shops except the roundhouse until May 1 To Puild County Hespita The legislature placed on the statute books a law which will enable the countles of the state to erect and maln- taln county hospitals. Inasmuch as this ts about the only way the communities van provide for care of the tuberculosis vietims it Is probable there will be a number of these county hospitals erected. In this city a volunteer movement has maintained a hospital for tuberculosis, but will be unable longer to d6 so and plans are already being made for having the county start a hospital.

While doubleheaded calves and other accidents of nature are not un- usual and while several curious prodigies are mounted in the various offices, the sight of a matured animal still bearing the odd limbs with which it came into the world is rare. In fact, none of the commission men could remember a similar creature. The animal was handied by Wood brothers and was sold for exhibition purposes for $125. The extra limbs shoot out at the animal's shoulders from a point near the top of the back, giving the fore quarters of ths animal a most grotesque appearance. It uses only the four normal legs in walking. treak legs is not greatly de- veloped, but the other shows nearly per- feot. C. W. Owen of Springfield shipped the animal to the yards. The animal active as any of his kind and showed signs of a pugnacious dlsposition toward other masters of the herd Woman Wanders from Home.
