Embarrassing Greetings.


In the AIaldive Isles of the Indian ocean,
should your first visit to the old .Sultan of
Twelve Thousand Islands find him in the mid
die of a meal Gas it probably will, for he does
little else but eat all day long, he will show his
appreciation Of you, if you are SO fortunate as
to please him, by squeezing up into a ball a
handful of his boiled rice and thrustng it into
your mouth with fingers that look as if they
had not been washed for a month, this being
the most fattering form of complimentary well
come which he can give to any guest. An even
more embarrassing greeting was offered to me
by Kalmuck chief with whom l breakfasted
on the further side Of the Caspian sea on nv
way through Central Asia. Having kindly
spread a newly fayed sheepskin Draw side up
permost) for me to sit down on, he set before
me mess OF broth suggestive of that of the
witches in Macbeth, and then. pulling ont OF
his pouch large wooden spoon literally caked
with dirt he deliberately licked it clean and
handed it to me with a hospitable smile.

The body of an unknown colored man lies in
the mOrgue awaiting Identification. At about
IL o'clock this morning he was assisted off a
Columbia line car at New York avenue and
18th street and led to the sidewalk.
Some one suggested that he be taken
to the Emergency Hospital and the
first precinct patrol wagon was summoned.
The sick man objected to hospital treatment
and said he desired to be conveyed home. No
one asked him his name or where his home
was, and when the wagon arrived he
was too near unconsciousness to give any
information. He died before the hospital
could be reached. He was dark in color and
wore thin mustache and yellow straw
hat. Blue overalls and striped blue
shirt we're his principal garments; he
had been carving his coat on his
arm. His hands were dirty with newly ac-
quired dust and his general appearance was
that of n man whom sickness had suddenly
called away from hard labor.

MISSOURI ABROAD.

"Away back in the days when our
only means of transportation were the
waterways, Versailles was big town
on the map of Missouri" said Charles
S. Maldrum, of that town. at the
Sturtevant House. "In the old days
Morgan county, in which Versailles is
located, supported much of the
lead output of Missouri, Only sur
face mining was done, but long OK
trains dragged tens of ore to BOonville
Cooper county, and from there it was
shipped down the Missouri river to
market. The war coming on killed
all mining in Morgan county, but our
people are trying to get the mines in
workable shape AGAIN. On examina-
ton the old mines were found to be
flooded with wafer, but the two new
shafts sunk in the neighborhOod of
Versailles have disclosed fine pros
pect of lead and zinc. The country
internationally and geographically
gives as good prospects as those that
have been fulfilled in the Joplin and
Webb City region.
Morgan county is a great place
for stock, and some of the finest and
latest hogs and cattle come from
there. The Ozark Mountains, where
the second onyx mountain in the
world is said to have been found, fur
nish good and cheap pasturage for
sheep. What we need is better rail-
road facilities. New York Tele-

Hon. Henry A. Newman has long
been a popular man in Missouri, with
the thousands who know him and
admire him, but his recent noble,
gratuitous work in behalf of a great
charity, which lies near and dear to the
hearts of Missourians, the establish
ment of the state home for needy and
suffering ex-confederates, has not only
distinguished him as an orator and 9
speaker of great fervor and magnet
ism, which he has long been known to
be, but it has shown him to be a man
with a generous heart and great
deal of love for his fellow men. Major
Newman is inimitable, as a talker; elo-
quent, as an orator; true, as friend ;
generous, as a man and his popular.

DEADwOOD, s. ID.

The problem OF easy access to the
above point is now solved by the open
ing of the new line of the Burlington
route into this live city of the Black
Hills country.
On February first the new branch
of the b. q NJ. r. r., leaving the
main line of the Black Hills extension
at Edgemont, S. D., was opened fer
business, thus supplying a long felt
want for direct all rail line from the
Missouri river TO the Black Hills.
The service and equipment on this new
line will be up to the usual high stan
dard OF Burlington rout trains and
will consist of day coaches and pullman
palace sleeping cars. A through Pull
man sleeper will leave Omaha daily
at 1925 A. M. arriving In Dead

A CHASTITY FIND.
Human Skeletons Found in the
Creek COuntry-A Hunters
Paradise.

Denison, Texas, April 21:-J. n.
Irwin, who represents an insurance
company at Burlington, To-, is spend
ing the day in the city. Last week,
Mr.. Irwin, with party of two friends
and an Indian guide, left Oktaha, on
the line of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway, in the Greek Napton,
for a hunt in the Canadian country.
On the second night the party went
into camp in Jack Fork Mountains,
where game was so plentiful that two
deer and several turkeys were shot
from the camp. Last Wednesday the
party crossed the Canadian, and after
travelling all day established camp in
the Deep Fork district, where fishing
is. to quote Mr.. Irwin, Gas good as
any in the world" Thursday morn.
ing Irwin and the guide went in quest
of a bear which had been pros ling
around the camp during the night
and left signs in the mud along the
river bank. The bear was trailed
and there lost and the pur
suit was abandoned, as the
guide stated it would be dangerous tC
enter the cane brake without dogs.
While en- route to the camp the guide
suggested a cut off which he said was
about two miles nearer camp. After
fording a small stream which empties
into Deep Fork. the guide and Irwin
proceeded to the Hill country. Near
ledge of rocks the ruins of a cabin
were discovered. The roof had fallen
in and the entrance was blocked with
debris. A few yards from the cabin,
under ledge of rocks, a cave was
discovered. At the entrance and on
the outside human bones were scat
tered. Irwin believes that no less
than nine persons persisted there, but
under what circumstances he nor the
guide could not conjecture. The hunt
ing party returned to the railroad
Saturday and Mr.. Irwin arrived here
Sunday. His standing makes his
statement thoroughly reliable.
