LATER.-It has been ascertainod that dead
alligator gets "gamoy" very early at this
season in Florida, and that this particular
specimen went overheard on that account
soon after he was killed. Only for this
reason, Mr.. Phillips would have had him
stuffed, as above stated.

az saw tho ruins of Grinnell twenty-four
hours after it was laid waste by one of the
most destructive cyclones that has visited the
wipd-swept region west of the Mississippi for
many years. The living were buryng the
dead and nursing the MANNED. Tho scene of
dosolation was sickening. Tho cyclone had
made track through tho town two or three
hundred yards wide. 1t looked as though a
mighty roller had passed over the land,
crushing everything in its path, and
flirting the fragments out behind as thresh-
ing maohi ne throws straw and chafT. DWELL
ings were mashed and then picked up and
hurled through the air hundreds of yards.
Great trees wero twisted Off close to
the ground and the trunks projected
through solid walls with the force of thou
sand battering rams. An iron safe weighing
three or four hundred pounds was
found half buried in the college campus
two hundred yards from where it had stood
when the cyclone seized it, Cows, hogs, and
dogs were carried long distances. Fowls
were plucked of feathers as clean as though
by human hands, pigeons faring no better
than barnyard hens Fleeing men, women,
and children were murdered by flying
timbers their skulls being crushed,
ribs broken and ontrails punched out by ioists,
heavy boards, and other missiles. Above the
awful, crashing, crunching roar of the storm
could be heard an unearthly, horrifying, and
indescribably malignant shrek that fairly
paralyzed the souls of men with superstitious
awe. Balls of fire and tongues of flame
leaped and played around, above, under, and
through the rolling, resistless column. Those
who witnessed the awful spectacle told me
they thought the end of The world had come.
The volume of wind and flame ricochettod
across the country for a distance of forty
miles, touching the earth from time to time,
tearing things up for n distance, and then
bounding over depression and striking
again, repeating the performance with
greater or less frequency and VIC.
lcncc until it was finally dissipated.
Clothing and papers were carried through the
air thirty miles, and the face of the country
for twenty miles was strown with pieces of
wreck from Grinnell. 1t was a memorable
storm, and destroyed nearly hundred lives.

A Flood Of Now Securities.

The New York Commercial Advertiser has
discovered that the stagnation in the stock
market is due to the listing of $3.50, 100000
new securities since the first of January, and
a popular and growing distrust of railway
managers. "What rights" it asks, "does the
holder of common stock hold to-day that the
managers of railways are bound to respect?"
This pertinent inquiry it proceeds to
answer by calling attention to the grow
ing tendency on the part of companies
that cannot pay dividends and barely
the interest on their mortgage bonds
to overwhelm themselves with income
bonds and collateral trust bonds, policy
which is undermining their credit and pro-
ducipg the impression upon the country that
they are issuing promises which can never
be fulfilled. The disgusted financial prophet
scolds the companies for flooding an already
stagnated market with doubtful securities,
and concludes with the following:
Under such a condition of things the person
who expects to see stocks advance labors under a
mild hallucination, If not an attack Of idiocy.
Big bull combinations NAV be talked Of, may be
formed, and put into operation. But they cannot
work nor prove successful nor lucrative

THE producers of beef cattle owe DIR. Lor'
ing, commissioner of agriculture, a debt of
gratitude. The bureau has been engaged for
several months, under his direction, upon a
series of experiments designed to throw light
on the causes of that deadly plague pleuro-
pneumonia and enable cattle men TO take
practical measures to check the progress of
epidemic diseases when they get started.
Cattle men have lost millions upon millions
of dollars from the rayages of pleuro-
pneumonia and kindred plaques, but
they have never until quito lately
taken organized action to obtain insurance
against porpetua occurrence of terrible losses
They struggled along in almost absolute ig-
norance Of tho cause Of the destructive dis
order, without knowing how to guard against
it, or successfully combat it. Tho expert

appointed are already attended by the best
results, and the work is full Of promise. The

United States represents more than half a

A rose In her hand, a rose in her breast,
A rose for her pillow her cheek has pressed,
The sun must shine though the rose is shed
And must live though she is dead.
The nightingale sings on as loud
Although they wind her in her shroud;
The garden stays where the flowers have fed
And must live though she is dead. '.-
Each month had seemed summer weather
Could we have braved each month together;
But winters come while the rose is red
And must live though she is dead.
We vowed that none should part us ever

She could not stay though she were we'd
And. i must live though she is dead.

A SLEEP THAT ENDED IN DEATH
Sunday afternoon John Michael,
aged about 26 years, son of Harmon

taken to Jail in a carriage by Mrs.

fuence Of an opiats, and would prob
ably not wake for several hours. He
was placed in a cell, and Monday
morning was found dead, without

his removal to Cumberland.
DR.. Jones stated outside of his tss-

The verdict was that the deceased
