GAY THBONGS FLOCK TO
SCENE OF OUNNE8S TRAGEDY
LA rOKTE, Jii1.p May 12. All roads
lu Lit l'o rU county leiul to the (fun
uesa farm Unlay, morn than 1."U sight
1 seom visiting tht-p laco of death before
i lie sou set.
Practically ery able hoiiit il resident
of this city made the trip and the rail
roads and trolley lines brought about
4000 more to the eity.
Mayor Darrow found it necessary to
issue stringent orders that the. Sunday
closing laws should be strictly enforced
and tlio hotels and restaurants were
overrun with patrons.
Practically every conveyance in the
town was pressed into service in nu at
tempt to provide transportation for the
crowds. Tn the afternoon these proved
insufficient mid lute comers wore forced
,nt mnko their way on foot.
The crowds began arriving in La
Porte when tho first trains from the
east arrived, shortly after r, o'clock in
tho morning. The strangers had no dif
ficulty in finding their way to the death
farm. The constant arrival of car
riage, omnibuses and wagnns, automo
biles and other vehirles pointed unmis
takable directions to those who were
unable to obtain places in tho convey
ances and were compelled to walk. The
" macadam road which winds past Clear
Lake and the Uuuncss farm was choked
so that even the automobiles were com
pelled to move at a snail's pace. Many
of the vehicles were umihlo to get with
tn a quarter of a mile of the farm, their
passengers joining the crowds which
walked across the intervening fields.
There was nothing to indicate thai,
the crowd was visiting a place where
the most grewsome tragedies of a de
cade had taken place. Jokes and laugh
iug comment on autecctlants of the farm
were heard on every side, aud exclama
t ions of jny from successful relic hunt
era were numerous. Family picnic par
ties grouped themselves on thes loping
lawn under tho fine pines and cedars
which dot the doorynnl, or found resting
places beneath the flowering apple, and
plum trees of the orchard. Children were
numerous and many of theso groups had
a baby cab as a nucleus.
Along the roadside in front of the
farm were lemonade stands and lunch
wagons. At the gates were souvenir
peddlers, thoes bearing a group picture
of Mrs. Ounuess and tho threo little
ones who met death with her finding
the readiest sale. A baseball game in
the vicinity was represented by strong
voiced barkers.
Sheriff Smuttzer will continue his in
vestigations at tho Ouiiness farm tomor
row. Tho first object of searching will
be the heaps of ashes and other refuse
in the cellar of the ruined houso. The
ashes and cinders are to be carefully
sifted and then sluiced by a miner in an
effort to discover the gold fillings
which nro said to have been iu Mrs.
dimness' teeth. The floor of the cel
lar may also be dug up and additional
sea vat ions may be mado whero the
ghastly cadavers have been unearthed.

TUe proprietor of a plumbing es tab
its h meat dowAiowu has a poor opinion
of goat initiations. A young rutin,
dapper and twenty, came into his
plumbing shop and asked to see an ex
pensive poreelalu bathtub. The pro
prietor explained at length tho good
qualities of a certain make.
"This seems to be uu excellent one,
said the young man.
Without warning he jiuued into tb
bathtub, drew his coat closely arouud
hi tii and exclaimed; "Quick, turn on
the water! I want to try it."
Tho proprietor thought he was In
sane and, soothlug his head, said,
'There, there, you're all right."
"Yea," tho young man gurgled,
splashing In the lmagiuary water; "Itg
very comfortable."
Then he began to squirm and splut
ter.
"Quick, quick!" he cried. "Turn oif
the water! I'm drowning!"
"Wolt till I reach the faucet," said
the proprietor softly, sldu stepping to
tho telephone.
Just at this moment two other young
tueu, a trifle older, entered.
"Well, Hub 1)3', had your bath?" they
inquired.
"Yes."
"Then come down to the vegetarian
restaurant and order a side of roast
beef." New York Globe.

"Do you know how to take a tight
cork out of a bottle without a cork
screw?' ivas asked by a woman the
other day at a gossip party. "It's a
mighty good thing to know tn an
emergency.
"My sister and I were coming back
from the mountains, aud she got faint
on the oars. I had a bottle of aro
matic spirits of ammonia iu my bag,
but when I tried to get the cork out I
simply couldn't make it budge.
" 'Let me take it out for you,' sug
gested a man across the aisle.
"Then, borrowing my pocketknlfe
and using his own with it, he removed
the cork In a Jiffy, lie Inserted the
blades on opposite sides between the
bottle and the cork, each one turned
in a different direction. Then when
the blades wore firmly pushed In he
simply pressed the two together, gave
them a wrench sideways, and the cork
came out without uny trouble. I have
since tried it on larger bottles with
success. It Is a trick worth knowing."

The Quest of Truth.
It is a good deal easier to poke fun
at history than to write history merit
ing credence. Mr. Bodley when writ
ing his '"France" experienced the force
of this iu a curious way. He shut
himself up In Frauce for years to get
the atmosphere and the knowledge
necessary for his work. One of his
trials arose over some question of elect
oral jurisprudence. It was not of in
ternational Importance, but stilt inter
esting to students of complicative, pro
cedure. Therefore he wrote to u dep
uty who Is a parliamentary expert to
clear up the obscurity -In which the
text books Involve the point and Incor
porated his reply In tho text of the
book. Later, being Invited by an ex
perienced mayor to be preseut ut a
pull over which he presided, Mr. Bod
ley put the question to him and re
ceived a quite different reply. Filially
the author referred the point to a
senator of indisputable authority, who
showed that the deputy and the mayor
were both wrong. Ht. James Gazette.
Woman's Wit.
An emperoi of Germany besieged a
city which belonged to one of his rebel
lious noblemen. After the siege had
lusl?d for a long time the emperor de
termined tu take It by storm ami to de
stroy all It contained by tire and sword.
Ho did not, however, wish to injure
the defenseless women; therefore, he
sent a proclamation into the town, say
ing that all the women might leave
the place unhurt and carry with them
whatever they held most precious. The
Uubleinau's wife Instantly decided to
take her husband, and the other wo
men followed her example. They soon
Issued from the city gate lu n long pro
cession, each one with her husband on
her shoulders. The emperor was so
much struck with the nublo conduct of
the women that he spared all; even the
city Itself was left untouched.
