Fred Carruth Heard From.

sioux Falls Press.
Fred Carruth, who used to be a Da-
kota newspaper man, having achieved
distinction as editor Of the Estelline
Bell, and later by his connection with
Sam Glover in the publication Of the
Dakota Bell in this city. seems to have
won a place among the literary favor
ties of the east. In their annual pros
pectus of the Round Table, Harper
Brothers, the great New York publish
ers, make this announcement regarding
one of its short serials:
For this season the Round Table has
the good fortune to be able to announce
a most amusing story Of an entirely
new kind, one which will interest old
n young alike, and one which has the
merit of being largely an account Of
actual facts and experiences of the al

was a famous prairie schooner in
which a boy. two men and a dog tIav.
eled a good lei more than a thousand
miles over the western p~rairies through
the Black Hills and back. 1t is not only
amusing, but very instructive, in that
1t tells how such trips were made long
ago, and shows the present state OF
western life"
The Press remembers very well when
that prairie schooner voyage was made,
for it knew Fred even in those days,

things, and his peculiar knack in tell.

of the Round Table a lot of fun and
some occasional information-for in all
probability Fred is something like Mark
Twain tells of himself in his preface to

information hat it oozes from him un-
consciously, like ottar of roses from the
otter"

BATTLEsHlP TEXAS DAMAGED
Accident to the Great Vessel in Dry
Dock.

Washington, Now 12.-Reports have
been received here that the battleshir
Texas has been badly damaged at the
Brooklyn navy yard and the timber dock
in which she lies has been partly flooded
to prevent further disaster. The acct
dent. though similar to that which oc.
CURED to the Columbia, at Southamp-
ton, England, is stated to be of a more
serious character. 1t is learned that
the bottom of the vessel for some dis.
lance amidship has been bent in, crack
ing the cement lining on the inner skin,
that at least twenty ribs or frames
are buckled. The full extent of the dam
age is not known but the p~erplexing
problem at present, is how to save the
ship, as it would be hazardous to pump
out the dack without removing her guns
and all extra weights. The Texas was
put in the dry docks a week g today
in order to clear her submerged strainers
and to clean the barnacles from her
bottom. 1t was found that her propeller
and blades We're badly bent, necessitat-
ing ordering her spare blades from Nor
folk, which was promptly done. BY the
time the water was all pumped out,
those in charge discovered hat the ship
was steadily settling and the keel was
showing evidence Of collapsing, so the
order was given to flood the dock as deep
as the propeller shafts in order that the
water might partially support the ship.
This was done. but an examination OF
h interior of the vessel showed that
she was settling and the dock was
further flooded. An official report was
sent to the navy department, where the
matter is now under consideration.

German Is Downed.

" ftaL W-
Baltimore, Nov. 5.-There seems to be
no reason to doubt that the republicans
have elected their entire state and city
ticket and that they will have a working
majority in the next legislature, which
will choose a successor to United States
Senator Gibson. Even Howard county,,
the home of Senator German, has appar-
entity reversed its normal democratic
majority of 500 and gives Lowndes, re-
publican, for governor, a majority of at
least that number of votes. Baltimore
city goes for the republican ticket, both
state and municipal, by majorities rang
Ing from 5000 to 5000, and both branches
OF the city council will probably be re-
publican for the first time in many
years. In fact there Is not Il leg left for
the party to stand on In what has long
been considered one OF the safest demo.
cratic states in the union.

CONDITION OF THE NAVY YARDS
Some Pertinent Suggestions offered
by the Chief Engineer.

Washington, Nov. 11.-In his annual
report to the secretary of the navy. Com
modore Melville, engineer in chief of the
navy, gives an interesting summary Of
the progress during the past year in
steam engineering, and makes some val
liable suggestions for the Improvement
of the naval service. He says that a SER
les of tests are now being made at the
New York navy yard on one of the
Names torpedo launches to determine
the value of liquid fuel, and 1t is be-
lieved that much valuable information
will be derived therefrom. Speaking Of
water tube boilers, the chief says that
although great progress has been made
in their development no single type has
yet made its appearance that can be re-
garded as altogether satisfactory, and
therefore the bureau has not recon-
mended their adoption in the more i'm
portant vessels, believing 1t better for
the present at least to confine them to
torpedo boats, gunboats and the smaller
cruisers.
The engines of The Atlanta are said to
be obsolete Inc 1t is recommended that
they be replaced by new types similar
to those of the Marblehead at a cost Of
$500, 900 and which will weigh 142 tons
less thar the old engines, give a greater
coal capacity and be two knots faster,
making the Atlanta equal In speed to
any cruiser of her class atloat. New
boilers will also be required in the Bos-
ton after another cruise. In order to
thoroughly demonstrate the merits of
petroleum for fuel for naval vessels IL Is
strongly recommended that one of the
new g%unboats at Newport News be
fitted for testing 1t.
AS the Boston navy yard is now in
possession of a dry dock in fine order, it
is urged hat this yard be again made a
repair station. There is no better time
to make repairs to machinery than
when a vessel is in dock, and the Bos-
ton yard is admirably situated for CON
struction and repair purposes. The rec
ommendation that the League Island
yard be completed is renewed and it is
said that 1t will be second to no naval
station on earth.
The Norfolk yard is also in need Of adj
ditional machine shops, as those now in
use are not equipped for the handling of
heavy machinery. So, too, at Port
Royal. s. c., where a new dry dock has
just been opened, it Is urged that q
proper steam plant be Immediately pro-
vided, as the usefulness of the dock will
otherwise be limited. A suitable ma
chine shop is also asked for at the New
port naval station. Attention is called
to the fact that the naval academy is
not graduating engineer cadets in SUI
fcient numbers to supply the vacancies
In the corps caused by deaths and re-
tirements. and it is said that If the num-
Der cannot be increased recourse must
be had to the graduates of the technical
schools and colleges of the country. The
report concluded with a suggestion that
the naval station at Key West be i'm
mediately put in shape to perform ma
val works and that a number of power
tools be added to the equipment of the
Mare Island navy yard, the only Pacific
station 80. ."#H"" -E-I-

PHiLAnElPHlA's LExoW.
The Citizens Committee Has Got
Down to Business.


Down to Business.
Philadelphia, Nov. lin q small
room at the rear of the first floor of the
Hotel Metropole, there was inaugurated
shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon, an
an investigation which promises to ne
second in interest only to that conducts
ed by the famous Lexow committee, in
New York, and which resulted in he
disastrous overthrow OF Tammany at
the time of Mayor Strong's election.
The present investigation was brought
about by numerous and apparently well
founded allegations to the effect that the
municipal government of the city of
Brotherly Love is honeycombed with
corruption. The committee which will
conduct tie proceedings was selected
by the state lat ut the last session
OF the legislature, and consists of 6 ma
tors Andrews, Thomas. Grady ,MeCar-
rell, Kennedy and Hardenbergh. AT the
time Of the appointment of this commit
tee the political supremacy of Matthew
s.. Quay in the republican party of the
Keystone state was threatened, many of
his opponents hailing from Philadelphia
and hence, and not without reason, the
impression gained ground that the in
SSehte oNASAA "oo a q 4 "a =
Boss Quay proposed to bring the disaf-
fected element into line. This impress
sion was not weakened when, after
Quay's sweeping victory in the republi-
can state convention, the investigation
was postponed until after election.
If this was the game, however, the
Citizens Municipal association has
spoiled it. This latter organization rep
resents the solid citizens of Philadel-
phia, and it has pledged $4,000 for the
paymen, of the expenses Of the organic
alton, and in addition has collected an
enormous amount of evidence W!.ich Is
calculated to create a sensation not only
in this city but throughout h country.
1t is said that the revelations will be
of such a nature that the legislature.
willy nilly. cannot at its next session
call off the ~loodhoundS.

they awaited the arrival Of the bride.
Almost Immediately afterwards Bishop

Gently recovered, has given our reporter
the following interesting account:
INSTEAD of improving under the care'of
my physician | became worse. Fol five
weeks l was unable to get out of bed and
about six O'Clock each morning l suffered
horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated
from the marks of my teeth, for in my
efforts to keep freq screaming l sunk my
teeth deep into my lips. AT II times l
rolled and tos-ed until the bed shook like
an aspen leaf and it finally got SO serious
that he doctor-I won, tell you his name
gave me some morphine pills to take.
The very thought of them makes me
SILVER. These morphine pills simply put
me to sleep for Il while, and when | be-
came conscious again my agony was re-
newed.
''The pain IN my stomach ind back was
more than / could stand. Your blood is
poor said the doctor, take sulphur and
molasses,' and l did until it was a great
wonder that | was not a molasses cake.
1T was time wasted in taking it because l
was not benefited in tile least; my suffer-
ing continued, but by Il mighty effort after
being in bed so long, l got up. Oh, but |
was a sad sight then. From 112 pounds
l had fallen to ninety; my cheeks We're
pale and sunken and | limped; yes, ac-
tually hobbled from the extreme pain in
my side. Then l read of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and the testi-
monial in the News inspired me with hope.
l got the pills and tool them. Before
many days ! began to improve and before
l had finished one box l felt as if l could
go ont and walk for miles. l soon stopped
limping and through the Pink Pills l soon
bid good bye to my headaches, while the
pain in my stomach and back slowly but
surely succumbed to the influence of these
pills that seem to be able to persuade all
pain to leave ones body. Now l I'm as
l used to be; well and strong, light-heart-
