ST. LOUIS Nov. 16.-Benjamn Harrison
citizen of Indiana is said to have caught
the South African mining fever and $500
investment realized 100000 or more for him.

who has just returned from South Africa. and
is enroute to New York. Two years ago a
syndicate composed of ex-President Harrison
and John c. Wright of the Chase National
bank of New York, sent him to the gold
fields of the Dark Continent to examine a
piece of mining property. Later the mine
was sold, and Mr.. Sherard received 5000, 900
and 1000 shares in the new company to b.
formed. Sir Richard Brown of the Bank of
England bought the property for $3.50 900
and issued to the syndicate 10000 shares of
stock in the new company John c.
Wright received about half and the remainder
was divided between ex-President Harrison
the Chase National bank and minor stock
holders

Pilgrim Fathers, Picnic.


Last Tuesday was the day set for River
side Colony of Pilgrim Fathers to hold
picnic, and despite the threatening weather
of the morning nearly 40 assembled in Pill
grim Grove on Cascade farm. This grove
has recently been cleared, tables erected,
swings put up, and is an ideal place for
picnics. The Pilgrims, however, lost some
of the pleasure of picncking, for no sooner
had the ladies started to make ready the
tables for lunch, then the sky became
heavily clouded and the baskets of food
and dishes were hastily taken to the new
barn on the farm. They were none too
lively, for they had hardly gotten into the
barn and nearby house when the terrific
shower of Tuesday noon was upon them.
When the shower had subsidized somewhat
a table was spread in the barn, and from
the way they all piled their plates with
baked beans, brown bread and fried pies,
with watermelon for dessert, it would seem
the shower did not lessen their appetites
The afternoon was spent socially with
cards, etc, and after the rain stopped and
the sun came out the company visited the
cascade, short distance from the grove,
where the water falls a hundred feet in
jumps of - to 20 feet in going distance Of
few rods. The gathering then broke up.

weather kept many at home.

right to control concessions out of which

penses. Monday the gates to the two
principal entrances at the stable and electric
road stations were closed, and keepers and
officers were in attendance. The syndicate
said that milk-men and hucksters should
not enter until they had obtained licenses
from them. One gate was opened to admit
an eXpressman who had license from the
syndicate, and the crowd lined up against
it AM prevented it from being closed. The
matter will now be fought in the courts.
