Carrollton Democrat: "Osoar Andreen,
the popular representative Of the st. Louis
Paper Company, Ia In town today. He
told a reporter for h Democrat that since
he had given his fish story to b press
that the engineers, at Lexington, ave
found out that 1t was not q Hsh they
struck but q large steamboat. That by
some means the boat had become petrified,
and the rock formation had united to the
boat, making nearly a solid mass. He Is
very sorry to give up the fish, but circum-
stances are ali in favor of the steamboat,
as small pieces Of roc have been broken
of that show the great mass to be q boat.
He expects some startling discoveries to
be made when they begin blasting. 1t
may be that the boat contains q load OF
old Kentucky whisky, in which case it
will be very valuable. 1t may be that the
barrels are petrifed and the whisky also.
The name Of the boat Ia not known as

DEATHS.

Died, In Odessa, September II, 1894, Mrs.
Lucy, wife of Mr.. Luther Hancock, of
near Blackburn.
Died, near Waterloo, Sunday, September
18th, son Of Mr.. Charles Braden, aged
2 years.
The little fellow died suddenly, and 1t
is supposed, from q snake or spider bite.
A small scratch was noticed on his ankle
and his limbs were greatly swollen. There
no symptom Of any disease.
sugget, Of Blackburn. We understand
that she had undergone a surgical opera
ton, and died suddenly. Her sister, Miss
Sallie Sugget, q pupil OF b. r. c., was
summoned to Odessa, and went out
Tuesday.
Died, September II, 1894, of typhoid
fever, at the home of his father, Mr.. 8. Z.
Vaughn, Dover, Mo-, William Carter
Vaughn, aged seventeen years n seven
teen days.
This community has rarely been so
shocked and grieved as by the unlocked
for death of Willie Vaughn. Only a few
days since he was strong and vigorous,
full Of lusty life, with abundant indica-
tions of a long and useful career; and, by
reason OF these things, his death is re-
garded by all with peculiar and intense
sadness. He was one whose memory
deserves far moro than 'the passing
tribute of a sigh" He was esteemed by
his schoolmates, loved by his kindred and
idolized by his parents as an affectionate
| and dutiful son. Modest in his deport-
ment, Industrious and steady in his
habits, he gave large promise OF an honor
able and useful manhood. His parents
and large circle Of kindred have the deep
and sincere sympathy OF this whole CON-
munity. May He, that "tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb" deal gently with the
broken hearted parents. Amid ife's
sorrows and burdens, may we all find
comfort in the sentiment 40 unsteady
expressed by Mr.. Whittier:
The night is mother Of the day,
The winter of the spring,
And ever upon old Decay
The greenest MOSES cling.
Behind the cloud the starlight turks;
Through showers the sunbeams fall
For God, who lOveth all his works,
Has left His hope with all.

There is more catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put

was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced 1t q
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies. and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t
incurable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and, there
fore, 1t requires constitutional treatment.

THE APPLE CROP.

To the Editor of the Intelligcncer.
Government reports indicate less than
a half crop in the United States. In Mis-
souri, the northern half only has a good
crop. England has u greater shortage
than for years, aud there is the largest
demand for export ever known. Growers
who can store or hold their crop, will
realize big prices. The rushing into mar
kets, during the hot spell, of immature
and nsound apples may have depressed
prices, but with cool weather and In win
ter these will go higher than for years.

There is scarcely Il spot on his body

he and his son are in the prison for

The Peoples Party Shows Consider
able Strength in Montana.
Helena, Mont, April II. = Municipal
Gle cticns We're held in the cities and
towns of the state yesterday and the
results are significant as showing the
Tremendous strength of the Populist vote
in Montana. In Butte they gained two
aldermen and hold the balance of power
in the city council. They elected two
aldermen i'll Anaconda, half the number
voted fori gained one in Livingston and
ran nearly even with the Democrats in
other wards. In other places they had
tickets in the field and made strong show
lrgs. The Republicans lose control of
Butte, and the Democrats gain control
Of Great Falls. These are the only in
stances where there was a change of
political control. The strength developed
by the Populists, coming on top of their
recent remarkable showing in the Helena
election, makes it a foregone conclusion
that the fight for the legislature next fall
will be between the Republicans and q
populist-Democratic combination. The
legislature will elect two United States
senators, and if the Populists and Demo
Gratis effect Q faithful combine they can
easily carry the state.

man by the name of Walter NJ. Whirrell

crime Dutton IL alleged to have con-
fessed. Detective Greer has found no
tiece whatever of Dutton. He has in
vestigated the matter thoroughly, and he
does not hesitate to say that he consid-
ers the whole affair fake. He believes
that Stevenson's story IL absolutely un-
true. He has investigated the young
notary's record here. Detective Greer
will go from here to Billings, Mont, and
Kansas City, at both of which places
Stevenson has resided. He will investi-
gate Stevenson's record in these places
