Moscow, May 81 Although the of
fetal report places the number of dead
at Lbs, it is highly probable that the
exact number of victims will never be
known. The vice-mayor reckons THAI
1886 persons were killed and % seri
ously, perhaps fatally injured. The
official accounts, however. do not In
clude any dead and injured who were
removed by friends. 1t would not be
surprising if the number of deaths was
largely in excess of the official fig
ures. Thirty bodies were found to-
day in an old disued wellia the middle

MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,, May 31.-The
coroner's official investigation shows
that only Mrs. Correll and her 19-year-
old son, Charles, and Charles King,
about the same age, were killed in this
county, while Robert Foster was killed
just over the line in Washington coun-
ty. All were struck by lightning. Others
reported dead were only wounded
more or less; none fatally. The north,
northwest and northeast parts of this
county suffered fearful loss of crops,
orchards and dwelling houses and
barns, and the loss is variously esti-
mated at from $40, 900 to $4,000 The
greatest loss was perhaps in Grand
Prairie township. The injured as re.
ported in yesterdays special are i'm

Defends Game Warden Osborn.

EDITOR Owosso TIMES:
Referring to an article in the Argus OF
December II, under the head of "Game
Laws Not Enforced" would like to say
just a word in explanation or justification
rather.
During the month of September last COM
plants were made to Mr.. Osborn that the
game laws were being openly and fiagrantly
violated, especially as to the hunting of deer
out of season, in Clare county. The COM
plainant wrote that If Mr.. Osborn would
send a deputy there he would give such
information as would lead to arrest and
conviction of the volators; and said, that
deer had been driven across the river only
a few days before.
MIR Osborn forwarded the letters to me,
with instructions to go to Glare county at
once and make thorough investigation,
and. If possible, secure conviction of the
guilty parties. On my arrival on the ground
l at once located the informant and found
that what he had reported as fact was
merely rumor or conjecture. went to the
runways, across the river, and could dis
cover no tracks made by either deer or dogs
within at least two months. was in the
locality four or five days and could not OBJ
tain even evidence enough on which to base
complaint, much less secure conviction.
find that as general thing that in cases
of reported violations of either fish or game
laws, it is almost impossible to find any per-
son who is willing to give evidence, and in
many instances those who complain the
loudest have themselves been guilty, and
dare say nothing in court for fear of retail
alton.
In conclusion would say that if those
who are most directly interested in enforcing
the game laws. (tbe settlers themselyes)
would lend their assistance, by making COM
plants and giving the evidence they might,
find less difficulty in performing their
duties; the state would be saved much use
less expense, and game and fish, in season,
would be IN abundance.
T. A. LAwRIE, Deputy Warden.
The article in the Argus was an interview
with E A. Vandercook, publisher of the
Clare Courier. THE TIMES has no doubt
but that Mr.. V. thought his information re-
liable. but the fact is so we'll known that
the game laws were never So we'll enforced
as under the direction of our present state
W rden, Hon. G. s. Osborn, that but one
conclusion can be drawn, viz: that Mr.. Van
dercook has been msinformed. The state
meDt that "Game Warden Osburn has been
written TO, but made no reply" would not
be for moment believed by any one who
has had business relations with Mr.. o.
born. His letters are invariably replied to
with unusual prOmptness,

Success BegetS SlandererS.

Let any man become successful, and
raise himself by sheer force of intellect
and power, on the pedestal of fame, and
hundred hands, a myriad of voices
seeks to wrench his well merited posi-
ton from him, or what is more feeble,
to attribute all to "his luck" DR.. Ott-
man has many detractors, but their as
saults have all been in vain. He proceeds
unswervipgly on in the line of duty
which experience has taught him best,
the doing of the utmost good to the great
est number No ailing one has ever APP
pealed to him in vain. He has restored
life, hope, health and strength to thous-
ands, after friends had given them up to
die, after pr yscans had told them that
all hope was at an end, after the patients
themselves had become reconciled to
what they deemed the inevitable. To-
day he stands willing to shoulder your
troubles, to redeem you from the grasp
of that malignant tyrant disease, to res
cue you if needs be, from a yawning
grave.

a large number of AK helyes are always used
In the lumber camps, of the north, the rail-
roads are usually heavy purchasers, and the
inactivity of the roads has had marked
effect in the demand for this commodity.
The dry kiln at the Estey factory b., has
been re- arranged and new system of dry
ing the lumber, similar to the system In use
at the old factory, has been put in. By this
system air is forced through coils of heated
pipes, where 1t is heated to a high tempera-
ture and then 1t is forced through the kilns
This process is much more rapid and effec-
tive than the old way of drying by pipes.
and the company does not expect to be an
noyed in the future by a lack of kiln dried
lumber.

One thing noticeable In their conversation
was the fiatterlng manner In which they
spoke of the work of Secretary Chas. A.

usually large amount of time. This, too,
despite the tact that his salsry was reduced
at the last annual meeting to $500, when 1t

more than double that amount. These
gentlemen expressed themselves as favorng
the reelection of Mr. Whelan at the annual

since Mr.. Whitaker became connected with

this state in the lead III the matter of fish

work until he has become one of the most
