A MEMORABLE CAREER,
The Last Of lhe Name.


The resolution Of Captain LeaihCrs
not 10 build an eighth Natrhez closes
the career Of a remarkable race OF
steamboats,, and many a wealthy tray
eler who has shared the hospitality Of
the big-hearted Commodore on the
Natchez, and many a poor wanderer
or deserving person without means
who was helped by the Captain aud
carried by the boat. win experience a
genuine sorrow at the announcement
Of the extinction Of the famous race
Of boats.
During all the years of Captain
Leathers's service on the riyerno Sister
Of Charity or Mercy was ever refused
transportation on the Natehez, and no
penniless or distressed man who had
any character at all was ever denied
passage. In the years Of 1913 and
1858. respectively, when yellow fever
scourged the South, the only boat that
was regular visitor At the New Or
leans wharf for a period Of sixty days
was the grand old Natchez Captain /
feathers has won the respect Of people /
all along the river. and those his boat 4
served have never had to complain Of
lack of attention or discrimination.
If there has been an oyorchargc 10 any
merchant or consignee or passenger
during all the years that the Natchez
has piled the waters Of the old Mes
schacebe Captain I.eathers says that
excess win be chcerfully returned ON
application to him. II has been the
proud boast OF the old veteran, whose
Individualism aud big-hearledness have
been stamped mdelibly upon all those
who have ever met him, and whose
familiar figure Is known to every set
lemcnt on the river, that during his
whole career not a life has been lost,
person injured, or a lady insultcd ON
lis boats.

remain. The loss is practically COM
plete, and win reach 100000. The
insurance was very light G. w. Old
and Thomas Wardell were terribly
burned, snd the couriers say they
can not live. Parties who drove
across the country to Westport, the
nearest railroad station, say that the
surrounding country is nearly devas-

in ashes, and carcasses of burned
stock are lying along the road. The
news continues to come in slowly and
shows the details of great disaster.
1t is probable that one-tenth of the
damages IS not yet reported. The
injured men, Old and Wardell, at last
accounts were very low. Editors
Herried and Beach, of Leola, are in
the city. They will publish their

MITCHELL, OAK, April 4.-Nobody
but ,Haan who has stood before
prairie fire and tried to stay its awfu
rush and roar when it is famed by {
fresh wind can appreciate its resistles:
force. The fires that have brought
so much loss and suffering to South
eastern Dakota in the last few days
were practically irresistible. Flames
in some instances leaped 100 feet OF
plowed ground and rushed away again
on their career Of destruction. All
ordinary precautions were vain. The
spring has been very dry and the top
of the ground has been dusty and
baked. The signal observer at Yank-
ton says that the humidity of the air
was but z per cent Tuesday, con-
dition of dryness never before attain
ed. As the mean annual humidity is
40, this shows that the atmosphere
was practically devoid of moisture.
Then the wind from the northeast
blew between forty and, fifty miles an
hour, tanning the flames into fury.
Under these conditions wherever
the fire touches the grass it burst out
with fash almost like powder and
shot away across the prairie like an
arrow, its course widening. To ex.
tinguish it by water, of course, was
out of the question. Flowing fire
breaks was slow work, and the high
winds often drove the flames across
them.
1t was 3 o'clock in the afternoon
when the people of Mount Vernon
saw the widespreading prairie north
west of them break out into a blaze
The smoke was dashed into and
through the town on the wings of the
wind. Tne flames rushed after with
savage fury. Mitchell was telegraphed
to for help, and 100 fremen with
hook and ladder were sent at once
The entire population of Mount Vernon
and the men from Mitchell met the
furious flames on the outskirts of the
town and fought with desperation, but
In vain. No lives were lost, but forty
five buildings were burned and 100
families left homeless. The loss is
put at 100000. Outside of the town
it is impossible veto say what the
loss is. Lonely little farm houses
scattered owe. thesprairies are wiped
out by dozens. Stories of losses of |
life may come in later. As near as
can. be estimated this morning, the
losses in South. dakota will reach
100000.

ABERDEEN, OAK, April 4.-The
terrible story of the complete destruc.
ton of Leola, the county seal Of Nc
Pherson County, has been brought in
by courier. Leola was a fine little
town of 300 inhabitants, and the
country for miles around was well
settled with an industrious and thrifty
people. It is twenty-five miles from
railroad and telegraph facilities, and
it is difficult to get complete informa-
ton. Out of thirty places of business
including two banks, two newspapers,

IS IT so?

Is DIR. ID. Il. McAnally, senior editor
of the St. Louis Christian Advocate,
"a narrow minded partisan ?"-'Op-
posed to the education OF women!
Such was the statement made by
Mrs. Clara Hoffman in the lecture AT
the Baptist church, III this city, on Sat
urday night, Dec. 9TH, 1859. What
called forth this bitter dennnciaUon
from her was the Dr's. criticism Oh The
Shoreham or Morton Gin Mill resoin-
tons as reported in II OF the Chicago
daily papers during the recent conven-
ton of the W. &. Il. u. i'll that city.
To the writer the charge was II of
great surprise, a. he has been reading
after him Tor thirty years and has
| always looked upon him as u OF the
| most liberal minded editors and Chris
| tan ministers of our land, and he has
heard hundreds of good and true
Christian men belonging to other de
| nominations than that to which the
| DR.. belongs, say much more for his
| Christian liberality than he shall nj
| tempt to say for him in this short arii-
| Gle, but as he was raised up from
| boyhood under the influence OF this
truly great and good man he could not
| sit i'm silence and not enter a word oil
protest. Such attacks upon such mer
as the veteran editor and Christian
minister will do the w. g. Il. U. mucl
more harm than good. The DIR. has
lived to see a score or more OF slmlia'
societies rise and fall but none of then
have ever diverted him from the plain
and beaten path, "The Kings high
way." and his Christian life and inilu
ence as a leader and teacher has draw
a grand host after him in that good,
way "and thousands will yet rise nj
and call him blessed D. "A. Il.
