Sweeney of the' West Side, who is a laborer in the employ vf the 0. W. P. & Ry. Co., left her home on the West Side Tuesday morning about 10 o clock ano nas not been seen since. JNo reason can be given for her strange disappearance, other than the surmise that she was mentally unbalanced. This theory is supported by the (act that her mother is at present an inmate of the state insane asylum. The woman toot her five small child' ren to a neighbor's house Tuesday mor ning and left ihem in the hitter's charge for a short time, saying she was going out for awhile. Her husband searched for her in that vicinity as well as in Poitland, but neither he nor the local authorities can find any trace as to her whereabouts. She is 32 years of age, S feet ii height and weighs 110 pounds. She has brown hair, and wore a brown dress and a sailor hat when last seen. Used Profane Language. W. J. Lawson, an employe of Mr. G. Rosenstein, a local merchant, wm fined f 6 before Mayor Dimick Wednesday for using profane language toward his for mer employer, it seems Lawson has stolen goods from the store in which he was employed amounting to $10. When discharged he swore at bisemoloyer and called him vile names. Mr. Rosenstein was loth to prosecute the man, but de cided to make out a complaint after being cursed by Lawson. The com plaint sworn to by Rosenstein only cov ered the offense of Lawson in using pro fane language toward the merchant, but after tne offender serves out his three days in jail in default of paying his fine, he may face the charge of stealing goods from the merchant.

The principals, Ralph Tracy and Allie Smith, Mr. Dean and Lena Raney, were ' married at the Electric Hotel by Rey. Allen, of Bpringwater. War Notea. It is believed that General Kuropat kin must fight the Japs or retire to Muk- den. The latter is what the Japs pre fer, as the object of their campaign is to lorce toe uussians out of Munchuria and the retirement of the latter would be another advance for the Japanese troops. Kuropatkln desires to fall back. but Alexief opposes it. The Russians have about 100,000 men who are the best in the army, and they are in strongly intrenched positions, and it would seem idle to fall back before an attacking force of 80,000 men.

The great clock of Wells cathedral li England was built In 1322 for Gluston bury abbey and ran 250 years befon It was removed to Wells. The striking mechanism of the clock Is very curious and elaborate. ' Abovi the dial is a little battlemcuted turret. With four knights on horseback, armeo with lances, standing guard round It At some distance from the clock Itself. near the end of the transept, is a life size painted figure, quaintly ugly, with a battlear In Its band, while outside the cathedral is a second large dial guarded by two tall figures of knight in armor. When the gilt stars point to the hour. the painted figure (Jack Blandlvlr, a be Is called by the country people about Wells, no one knows why) strikes tbi quarters by striking his heels against two bells behind him and then tolls the great bell of the clock by striking it with his battlear. The two standing knights in armor strike the outside bell with their halberds, and at the first stroke of the great bell the four knight" oa horseback over the inside dial start at a gallop and rush round and round the turret In a mimic tournament, In which one knight is thrown from hi horse and regains his scat In every? revolution.
