The Olympic.

The Wallace sisters, Jennie, Minnie
and Maud, whose busy brains have
evolved such a variety of whimsicalities
as to entitle them to rank as mistresses
of the art of tom-foolery, made their I'M

night at the head and front of two bright
burlesques: "Nancy Strap and cal
ladin." Without descending to the
coarse and vulgar, they succeeded in
amusing the large audience to won
derful degree, and were the recipients
of repeated and well-merited applause.
Thorn and Carleton, Lester Howard,
Jennie Southern, John L. Manning and
Charles E. DobsOn, banjOist OF super

A HUNT ON THE PLAINS.

Prairie Chickens in Texas.

Tiny Thompson Tells How They Hunt
Prairie Chickens in Texas.
A Savannah friend of Tiny B. Thompson,
who is conducting fancy retail grocery in
Dallas, Tex, has received q letter from
Thompson descriptive of a recent hunt over
the prairies for prairie chickens. He says,
writing under date of Sept. 20:
Last month | went off for a week in the
Panhandle portion OF Texas. We Travelled
nearly 200 miles by stage. ] will attempt
to give you a description of the hunt, for
hunt it was for prairie chickens We left
Dallas Aug. H. and went by rail to Fort
Worth; from there we took the Denver
road to a point called Clarendon, our last
stopping place by rail. Clarendon is one
of the Oldest places in Texas, and not later
than ten years ago was raided by the Chey-
enne Indians, and everybody they caught
was massacred. We met a family named
Loughlin that ESCAPED and lived in the hills
for a week before the United States troops
rescued them.
"After leaving Clarendon, we took stage to
place calle1 Mobeete, frontier town about
three quarters of mile from Fort Elliott,
where the government has 500 troops sta
toned, besides employing large number
Of Indian scouts. We camped here for
several days, hunting the country for
twenty-five miles around, shooting prairie
chickens, antelopss and wolves, aud keeping
our eyes open for Indians, as they some
times get out Of the reservation and kick
up the -.
"You will understand the nature of the
country VIII N l tell you we would travel all
day and not see living human being, or
see single tree or drop Of water. We car
ried all tho water we could use in barrels
and kegs. While on the prairies, we wit
messed sight that l have often read Of,
but never yet seen-a mirage on the plains.
We got up one morning aoout good day
break, and just as the sun was peepng out,
one of our boys discovered lake of water
seemingly about three miles ahead. We
could even see the trees around it and the
shadows in the water. We broke camp and
hitched horses up and again started and
travelled for the lake, but never found IL,
and we have been told since that it is very
frequent thing to see this deceptive sight on
the plains To sum up, our trip was grand,
and we killed more game than have ever
seen before, and gained eight pounds
while on the hunt"

How a North Carolinian's Auction
Purchase Got Him into Trouble.
Jerry Mack. a North Carolinian, who
has been employed in this city for the past
five OF six weeks at the rosin sheds. was
run in at the barracks yesterday on a
charge which, it is thought, is not war
ranted by the facts. Mack went 70 Freid's
clothing establishment, and wanted to trade
package containing twenty yards of silk
for suit of clothes. The merchant was
suspicious, and reported his customer to the
police, who arrested Mack, and entered a
charge opposite bis name of having goods
in his possession supposed to have been
stolen. In searching Mack at police head
quarters a fiye-barreed Smith g. Wesson
revolver was found ON his person, and
another charge was entered against him of
carrying concealed weapons.
Mack says he purchased the silk at an
auction store, intending to take it to a rela-
tive in North Carolina, and the officer on
duty at the barracks says he is inclined to
believe the statement to be true. Mack
says the pistol belongs to his brother up in
the northern part OF the state, and that he
intended to take it TO him, and was not car
rying it with intent TO violate the statute
governing in such cases.

How a Colored Porter Made Raise of
Suit of Sunday Harness.
A very well-planned burglary, but poorly
concealed one, is alleged against Vincent
Gwinn, a colored porter about the saloon
of Frank Dunno, at Houston and South
Broad streets. Yesterday morning Gwinn
visited Dunno's bed chamber, and,
awakening his employer, notified Kim
that some one had broken into
and burglarized the bar. Dunno dressed
himself and accompanied Gwin to the sa-
loon, where a careful examination revealed
the fact that no door or window had been
broken through or disturbed, and that the
money drawer was the only thing that had
been tampered with. It had been
forced, and Sl4 so had been taken out.
1t was plainly evident that the act had been
committed by some one familiar with the
surroundings and who had easy access to
the place. Dunno. thus impressed, charged
Gwinn with the stealing, and after some in
quiry Gwinn confessed that he was the
guilty man. He took Dunno to a tree-box
at the corner of East Broad and South
Broad, where he had concealed $3 O5 in a
handkerchief. The rest of the money Gwinn
said bad been spent for a suit OF clothes.
Dunno expects to return the suit to the
dealer and demand the money paid by
Gwinn. The latter has been lodged In the

PLANTERS FEAR FROST.
THE RICE CROP THR REATENED BY a
NEW DANGER.


The Cold Weather Likely to Do Great
Damage to the Young Rice-Planters
Unable Yet to Estimate Their Losses
from the Flood-The Mill Receipts
Estimated at 100000 Bushels he
Drop Expected to Be All In by Nov. /.
"What are the indications about the rice
crop now," planter was asked last night.
"a new danger seems about to confront
u.s." was the reply. "The June rice is now
in the milk, and the threatened frosts would
greatly damage if not entirely destroy it.
Even a light frost would damage it."
"Have planters been able to approximate
their probable loss from the fioodl
1T would be hard to give individual
estimates. / do not think our mill receipts
of rice of this years crop will go beyond
100000 bushels, and it may not exceed
100000 bushels; in fact, think the latter
figures are much nearer the mark The
losses in the Savannah river valley have
been very heavy from the freshet, and
heavy losses have been sustained by the New
river planters.
DAMAGE FROM THE RAINS.
The damage has been very great from the
rains, which caught so much rice on the stub
Bile The loss, too has been considerable in our
ripe rice from the frequent handling, which
was necessary to dry it out. Some of it had
to be handled three or four times, and
every time it was handled ther2 was loss.
Rice sprouted badly, and stacked rice, bas-
tily harvested, NOV burned, and entailed a
loss in the deterioration Of the rice.
"The rice III the Ogeecheo river valley
was not damaged by fleshets, but the crop
.laYu 4lNy fto raI w
Harvesting was hurried here as it was on
the Savannah, tecause it was not believed
that the banks would stand the local freshet
augmented 10y the waters that
swept across the country by the way of
Eden and emptied INTO the Ogeechee. For
tunately there were not the usual east winds
and high tides, and the water was not
backed up on us All tide water rice on
the Ogeechee and Altamaha escaped what
seemed to be inevitable submergence from
spring tides, as it did on the Savannah
river"
THE CROP IN BY Nov. l.
"When will the rice crop be in?"
81 think" said the planter, "that the
bulk of the crop will be in by Nov. l. If
frosts do not come within week the June
rice will have time to mature. The next
four to six weeks will be q very busy period
with rice planters
The individual losses vary. Where
freshets followed the wet weather and the
fields were submerged the loss was greater.
Some planters will save only about one
fourth of their acreage; others will not lose
more than one-fourth, but all of them will
find the rice will not grade up to the usual
standard Until the rice is in the mills the
damage the rice planters have suffered can
not be accurately stated, but rough esti-
mate might be made that planters viii not
have more than from one-half to five
eighths of what they expected before the
rainy season set in.
