The Crews of Whalers in the Arotics
Killed by Esquimaux.
CHICAGO, Aug. ga Washington
special dispatch is as follows: A catas-
trophe is reported by the treasury de-
partment from the Arctic regions. It is
said that the crews of two small steam
whalers wintering near the mouth Of
the Mackenzie. about 500 miles east of
Point Barrow, have been massacred by
the natives of that region. All
told, the crews af the two ves-
sells numbered sixty persons, well
equipped and provisioned for a long
ssiege, with rifles and ammunition, not
SO much for purposes of defense as for
supplying themselves with game. Whal-
ing crews encamped on the land would
not be under such strict discipline as
might be enforced on shipboard, and if
theis intercourse with the natives was
otfaisive, they have probably Keen over
powered by superior numbers.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 25.-A daring
attempt was made to wreck the north
bound accommodation train from
Water Valley to Grand Junction on the
Illinois Central main line AS
the train came in sight of the bridge,
about seven miles north of Holly
Springs, the engineer noticed that one
rail seemed to be unduly elevated. He
quickly applied the air brakes and re-
versed his engine. AS the engine went
on the bridge it was discovered that a
piece of iron, known as stirrup among
bridgemen, had been securely fastened
to the rail and would have thrown the
train from the track. Had the train
been going ten miles an hour faster
there would have been horrible dis
aster, but luckily only the front trucks
of the engine left the rails. When the
train came to stop the engineer noticed
two negroes making away through the
brushes. A posse was speedily organ
lied and after chase of several hours
S"uSAU 1ue GWo ueSrOoS. luey gave
their names as William Frost and Will
liam Mcdowell and confessed to having
done the deed. Frost said that Nc
Dowell had large axe which he intend
ed to use for breaking open the coaches
in case of a wreck. The negroes were
taken to Holly Springs and jailed.
Both have the reputation of being hard
characters and it is thought they in
tended to wreck the train for the pur-
pose of robbery.

acre, while many pieces have produced
from thirty to thirty-eight bushels.
ST. VINCENT, Minn., Aug. 26.-Frost
has done no damage to grain in this To-

in full blast. though all grain is very
backward, and much of it is being cut

Col. A. B. Andrews Promoted.
The Raleigh State Chronicle says

The Raleigh State Chronicle says:
Col. A. B. Andrews, so we see it
stated in the papers, will shortly be-
come first Vice-President of the Rich
mond and Danville railroad. 1t was
thought he would decline this Office on
account of the necessity Of removing
to New York, but this objection
has been overcome and he will be
permitted to hold the position and re-
side in North Carolina.
The Chronicle rejoices in every honor
and preferment that comes to Col. An
drews. He is a man of fine executive
ability, a thorongh-going business man,
and patriotic North Carolinian. 1t is
largely due to bis wisdom that the
Richmond and Danville RAILROAD is an
organization of such vast power, ex-
tends over so large territory, and
such mighty agency for developing
the resources of the South. He is
worthy to be at the head of this great
corporation.

Ex-senator Joseph E. Mcdonald
died at his home in indianapolis, In

He was born in Butler county, Ohio,
August 20, 1919. With him there
passes away one OF the most notable
figures in national politics. For over
half century has been the greatest old
time Hoosier Democrat next to Hen
bricks before the people. After
serving three years as Attorney Gen
eral he was sent to Congress. He
served only one term in the House,
being beaten for a return by Oliver P.
Morton. Some years later he was
elected to the United States Senate,
taking his seat March 4, 1875, holding
it for six years. Few men of more
intense partisanship than Joseph f.
Mcdonald ever entered the Senate
His platform then, as repeatedly ex-
pressed by him, was: "Jacksonian
Democracy, Home Rule and Free
Trade" Mcdonald had strong fol-
lowing in the 1884 and 1888 Demo-
cratic Presidential conventions. Many
Indianians favored his nomination for
the Presidency in 1884.

HOW TO BUILD TOWNS.

This is a day of booms. Booms
are Western invention, and have
been worked more or less throughout
the West where they have built more
imaginary towns than one could shake
a stick at in thirty days. They have
helped to build some real towns, too,
but this was when the towns had some
thing more than booms to build upon.
The boom is all right when it has
something substantial behind it, but
when it hasn't it generally ends in a
collapse, a big burst where more or
less people get hurt, and that makes
every body cautious and suspicious
and hurts the towns which have some
thing better behind them than mere
booms. For this reason people who
desire the prosperity of the State, per-
manent and well-grounded prosperity,
should not encourage booms unless
they have something solid under
them.
The boom hasn't struck North Car
DINA yet, and there are no indications
that 1t will, something on which North
Carolina is to be congratulated. The
nearest approach to it is the Land
improvement Companies which have
been organized in many towns, and
which, II properly managed, may be
the instruments OF the advancement
and prosperity of the towns where they
operate, but, if not wisely managed
may do incalculable harm. A forced
growth, with nothing to sustain it,
must result in collapse.
1t Is an easy thing for number o.
shrewd, energetic men, with capital
at their command, to purchase sub,
urban tracts, divide the land of into
