' WM . S. FLYNN. Lawn Social at "Lilacs." The lawn social given Wednesday night at the "Lilacs," the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Warner, by the Mount Pleasant Civic Improvement Club was a very successful affair, both so cially and financially. The grounds were beautifully lighted with Chinese lanterns, and the house was artistic ally decorated with flags and bunting. The "Lilacs" Is one of the prettiest sites in Mount Pleasant for an affair of this kind. During the evening C. A. Miller sang several of his popular songs, and was forced to respond to a hearty encore. Harold Swafford, who is well known in this city as an excel lent whistler, delighted his hearers with several selections. The proceeds of the entertainment, which will go to the Mount Pleasant Civic Improvement Club, amounted to $11. There was no admission charged, but Ice cream and cake were sold by the women of the club. Use Water Sparingly. Economy In the use 'of water Is recommended by the Water Commis sion, for at noon yesterday the head works at the basin were torn out to be replaced with concrete. This work will take about 10 days, and in the meantime the water will be pumped by an electric motor.

It Is a true sto ry and hasn't any of the dream ele ments about it. Dr. McConnell was sitting on the porch when be saw a cat coming up the lawn dragging a rattlesnake about three feet long. The cat bad the snake by the nape of the neck and apparently waa expe riencing no trouble whatever in "tot ing" unload. ; . A The feline carried his snakeshlp un der the porch, and there for fifteen minutes she lovingly fondled It with her paws. Dr. McConnell called the members of Dr. Harrison's family to watch the performance. Finally a disagreement arose and the serpent was seen to strike viciously at the cat Tabby liked this phase of the situation fully as well as the amorous stunts and fought back with Best. The snake and the cat kept the duel up for probably five minutes, when the spectators thought It was time to Inter fere, and the snake was killed. The cat was bitten In a dozen places, but the bites bad no effect other than to ruffle her fur. The snake had a number of deep scratches on Its body. Fourteen rat tles were taken from Its tall. OLD CLOCK A PROPHET. Three Timet It Hat Foretold the Hour of Death, Stored away lu a dusty attic at the home of Dr. W. T. Porch, the oldest and most prominent physician of Ba- kervllle, Humphreys county, Tenn., Is an old fashioned Beth Thomas clock. Dust covered and time worn, this old dock many years ago refused to fur ther record the neetlug hours and was put away In the attic, One Sunday morning, long after the clock had been discarded and as Dr. Porch and his daughter Carrie were preparing to attend Sunday school, tan plain and distinct strokes rang out from the old clock in the attic. But little attention was paid to the Inci dent at the time, and it was believed that a mouse or rat had become entan gled in the clock wire and caused It to strike. However, it was noticeable that the ten strokes were as plain and dlBtinct as if the clock bad been run ning. Shortly afterward Miss Carrie complained of not feeling well and stated that she would not attend Sun day school. She rapidly grew wort and at exactly 10 o'clock lapsed Into unconsciousness and died. Time wore on, and the doctor's next oldest child, John Boy, was taken sick. For a long while he lingered between life and death, and one night at friends and members of the family tat around the bedside there rang out clear and distinct from the old clock In the attic eight strokes. Next morn ing at 8 o'clock John Boy passed Into the great unknown. In the course of a few years Porter. "'StrJ- Z RUH..VU M , J i" v.w- i was despaired of, and one night the attending physician, who had been called In consultation with the young man's father, stated to the company present that be did not believe the patient would live until 4 o'clock tnt next morning and left tbe room. Soon BZVZN STROKES PEALHD FOBTH FBOM 1 OLD OliOOK. afttr his departure seven strokes peal ed forth from the old clock to plain that they were beard all over the house. So true had been lta warning! In the two deaths before that the par ents and loved ones of the young man prepared for the Inevitable. And It came tbe next morning. The patient outlived the predictions of the phyti clans one hour and passed away at 7 o'clock, as foretold by the old time piece. Dr. Porch does not hesitate to dis cuss the strange actions of tbe old clock, but says he Is unable to offer any explanation, nis word cannot bt doubted, and that these happening actually occurred is vouched for by good and reliable people who were present and heard tbe mytterlout strokes. Tbere haa not been a death In the Immediate family since Porter died, several years ago, and since that the old clock has remained silent. Dr. Porch refuses to part with the old relic and sayt he will keep It until It record i tbe time of his death, although his wife has made many appeal to do away with It Suet Orange Barbur For Divorce.

Horse stealing by the wholesale has aroused the county court to action In Clackamas - County and Judge G. B. Dlmlck and Commissioners Lewellen and Klllln this afternoon offered a standing reward of $250 for the arrest and conviction of any person stealing horses In the county. This offer Is supplemented by William LUlle, who owns a part of the old Hackett place on the Clackamas road, and who last Monday night lost four horses. There were six animals In his pasture, one of them owned by W. A. Holmes, of Parkplace, and another by William Kruger, of this city. Llllie offers $250 for the return of his four horses, as one of them was a very valuable dap ple gray mare, weighing 1600 pounds and worth more than $300. While the horses were stolen some time Monday night, their absence was not discover ed until the afternoon if the following day and was not reported to the au thorities until this afternoon. The police believe that the theft Is the work of an organized gang, who op erated extensively in Marlon County last Spring. During the past two months horses have been stolen from Thomas Kelland, of Mount Pleasant; John Rlsley, of Oak Grove; James Tracy, of Logan and Albert Grlbble, of Macksburg, who lost two horses. An animal was stolen recently from Gres ham, and a saddle horse -was taken from near Golf Links. Mrs. Griffin, who lives one-half mile from Baker's Bridge, heard the tramp of many horses passing her house on Monday night, and while Mr. Llllie and J. S. Byers, of Clackamas, hunted diligently yesterday for some trace of the animals, they were unsucessful. PETER BURGESS INSANE. Imagines a Man It After Him with a Pitchfork and Jumpa In River.
