A BATHING beach doesn't appear to be a
very formidable affair, but statistics from all
over the country show that several hundred
people who went to summer resorts did not
come back The summer resort on the Mon
ument grounds is an exception. Supt. Stevens
of the bathing beach is TO be congratulated
that the swimming year has closed without
one drowning case among the regularly ad-
mitted patrons of his bailiwick. Nor were
the bathers less careless than usual, for it is
recorded that the attendants saved no less
than nineteen lives.

be simply borrowing time. The presi-
dent is prepared for such tricks, how
ever. His eyes are open. He is wide

can fool him. He will not rest until he
has both in his clutches"

them then?''

A Dangerous Invention.

Mr.. D. Parker, an old trapper and
mountaineer. has invented an ingenious
device for shooting bears. It is piece
OF heavy rife, about nine inches long,
arranged with breech loading appa-
ratus, two wires running through eyes
at each side of the barrel at the front,
with barb hooks at the ends on which to
fasten the bait. The other ends are con-
nected with brass collar that slips over
the back part of the breech and which
releases a spring hammer, when the
animal pulls at the bait, discharging the
contents of cartridge right into the
animals mouth. The trap is set SO that
it can be approached only from one
direction, thus insuring death to the
animal or person who attempts to pull
the bait off. Mr.. Parker has applied
for patent for the '.infernal machine"
but as such machine. would be very
dangerous to have around it is not likely
it will be patented.

Rio DE JANERIo, March 14.-Loriano
Peixoto is triumphant. The insurgent
vessels surrendered last night. without
having answered with single shot the
cannonade from the government hilltop
batteries. The insurgent forces deserted
Fort Nillegagnon Monday night, leaving
their fl gs flying, and took refuge on the
islands Euchades and Paqueta. There
was not a soul on board the rebel ships
during the bombardment. Admiral da
Cana left the harbor on the French ves-
sci Junon, which returned today. It is
not known whether the admiral is still
on board. ALI the insurgent officers ex-
ept the surgeon have fled. The Ameri-
can officers of the government warships
came ashore this afternoon. Ti.ey re-
port that the crews of the vessels are
well and delighted that they won with
out fight. Excepting the officers, no.
body aboard Peixoto's men of war seems
to have been eager for a battle. In COM
ing up the harbor this morning the gov
ernment feet saluted the United States
flag and Rear-Admiral Benham. The
United States feet will disperse
soon. The men aboard the
American warships are in excel
lent health. The end of insurgent

Polsonine from Charcoa1.

A new form of lead paralysis has ap-
peared in Paris among the hands of
chemical charcoal factory. The char
coal was rendered more combustible
by being treated by nitrate, and thus
better fitted for lighting fires. Nitrate
of soda or potash ought to be used for
this purpose, but the factory proprie-
tor found it more advantageous to use
nitrate of lead. which increased the
weight of the product. Naturally, the
workmen soon exhibited symptoms of
lead poisoning. tbs proposed to pass
a law forbidding the dangerous process
under penalty of a heavy fine and i'm
prisonment.' ~.

a REsERvoIE BURSTS.

The Town of Nampa Flooded and
Twenty Railroad Bridges Gone.
BOISE, Idaho, March 14.-News was
the Indian creek reservoir burst its
rocky barricade at 2 o'clock this morn
ing, the water sweeping down upon
ranches and villages, carrying destruc-
tion and ruin in its path. The reservoir
was constructed of solid masonry, and
covered 500 acres of land, and was said
to contain sufficient water to irrigate
many thousand acres. It cost SOC. 900 to
build it. The country between Risuka
and Caldwell is all under water. All
the railroad bridges between Nampa and
Risuka, twenty in NUM- Der, are washed
out, and many miles of railroad track is
submerged, which wall prevent trains
from running for many days. The dam
broke about noon, and messengers were
sent at breakneck speed on horseback to
warn settlers and urge families TO hasten
to places of safety. A mighty wall of
water came sweeping down Indian creek,
bearing on its bosom houses, barns,
farming utensils and livestock of all
kinds, and submerging whole farms on
both sides of the creek. The citizens of
Nampa, a town on the Oregon Short
Line, saw the approach of the devastat-
ing waters and fed to high ground.
Soon all the lower part of town was
under water from five to twenty feet
deep. Fifty houses at least are ruined,
and many families are without shelter
and bedding. Merchants are loaning
blankets to destitute families, and pro-
visions are being furnished to those in
need. 1t is reported here that two
men were drowned, one while attempt
ing to save his property, and another
who rushed to his assistance. The cause
of the disaster was the sudden turn of
the weather, coupled with heavy rains,
which caused a rapid melting of snow in
the mountains. Snake river rose eight
feet today, a fact unparalleled in its his
tory. This part of Idaho has had the
heaviest fall of snow this winter known
for many years, and this melting rapidly
filled the creeks and burst the dam.
The property is total loss. So far
Mountain home reservoir is safe, but
fears are entertained that it will share
the fate of its Indian-creek neighbor.
The loss is very great, and it may cause
the loss of the great orchards which the
reservoir has supplied with water.

Death on the Track

BOISE, Idaho, March 14.-Passenger
train No. 2, east-bound, on the Oregon
Short Line, was ditched four miles be-
yond Mountain Home last night, and
three tramps were killed. one of them a
boy of IA; the engineer, Evan Williams,
fatally wounded; the fireman, Betone,
slightly wounded, and the mail clerks,
Mahon and Upton, seriously wounded.
The accident was the result of the
excessive rains, and occurred in 40-foot
cut through the chalk bluffs. Mud had
washed down from the bluff until it
covered the track to depth of eight feet
and as the cut is on curve, the engineer
did not see the obstruction, and dashed
into it at full speed. The locomotive
was overturned and the baggage, postal
and express cars were ditched and smash
ed to splinters.
