Row to Keep Plates hot.

One Of the latest adaptations of
electric heating is the electric "hot
plate" Tor keeping food hot during
dinner. The metal plate IS electrically
heated before being brought to the
table; but should ii be necessary te
renew the heat plug is inserted at
the side Of the plate, connection Is
made with socket on the table and
the current S kept on as long as
needed. A L W form Of hot plate for
kitchen use has three disks fitted in
row into stand, electrical connection
being established by a socket under
each plate. The stands are nickel
plated and the plates are each eight
inches in diameter.-N. Y. Sun.

TO DO CREDIT TO HERSELF.
The South Will Fill the Largest Bui Gug
that Can be Secured.

AUGUSTA. May 13 The orgaaizA-
ton Of exhibits for the Southern. States
exposition at Chicago is. proceeding
rapidly. The following general ex,
hioits nave b3eu decided upon, to
show the products Of the entire south.
Forest ProductS-In charge Of Prof.
B. Z. Fernow, chief Of division of for-
estry, United States agricultural de-
partment.
Mineral Products-In charge oil Dr..
David 7. Day, United States geologi-
cal survey.
Fibers-Probably IL charge of c R.
Dodge Of the United States agricultu-
raj department.
Each of the foregoing will occupy
at least 10000 square feet. a great
feature will be made of cotton, cotton
products and processes of manufacture,
which will require about 20, 900 square
feet. 1t will comprise the earliest and
most improved machinery and every
variety of cotton fabric. It is expect.
ed that this department will be under
the direction of widely known ex-
pert and prominent inventor of cotton
machinery.
The tobacco section will be planned
under the advice of DR.. II. P. Battle,
director of the United States expert
ment station, Raleigh, N. c., and
Prof. G. f. Vanderford, secretary Of
the United States experiment station,
Knoxville, Tenn, both of whom are
eminent authorities on tobacco cul
ture.
Prof. W. G. Stubbs, director. United
States sugar experiment station, New
Orleans, has been requested to super.
wise the sugar exhibit.
With these gentlemen will be asso-
ciated Prof. J. A. Holmes, State geol-
ogist Of North Carolina, who has the
best existing southern collection of
minerals and forest productions; Prof.
Yates, State geologist OF Georgia;
Messrs. Roche, Nesbitt, Lane and
Stone, commissioners of agriculture of
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi.
4 conference Of these and other
gentlemen will be held in Washington
probably Saturday or Monday, when
preliminary plans for arrangement
and division Of space will be submit
ted and final plans adopted by them.
These plans are now being drawn by
Architect G. A. Maxwell Of Augusta.
They provide for 10 States, and allow
0,000 square feet for each, and an
equal amount for general exhibits and
railroad displays. Applications for
space now entered aggregate about
115, 900 square feet.
G. D. Parker, who had prominent
part IN the installation of the govern
ment displays at Atlanta, will proba.
bly, be appointed chief Of installation
for the south.
Louisiana and Texas are waking up.
In response to urgent letters, ex.Sena
tor Walsh will probably visit those
States next week to assist in organiz
ing them. It is now certain that they
will not be LETT out, despite the inca
pacity and inaction of their nominal
committeeman who have done nothing
to forward the work. Efficient work
is in progress in Kentucky and West
Virginia and Chicago can rely upon
it that the south will I'll the biggest
building that can be secured.

ANOTHER RIVER TRAGEDY.
Eleven Lives Lost-Sunk in Less Than Five
Minutes.

Eleven Lives LoSt-Sunk In Less Inan rive
Minutes.
V1cKsBURG, Miss. May 11.-One of
the most terrible disasters Of recent
years occurred last night about 25
miles below this city. The tow boat
Harry Brown of Pittsburg upward
bound from New Orleans, exploded
her boilers at II o'clock. The boat
was complete wreck and sunk in less
than five minutes. Eleven lives are
known to have been lost, including
Pilot Norman K. Dravo;G G. w. Baros'
ley. steersman; VIM. Dougherty,
chief engineer; Tom Judge and Viii.
liam Wilson, fremen. The bodies OF
First Mate William Fitzsimmons, sec,
ond Mate Geo. KERN and VIM. kel-
ley, lamp trimmer, were recovered and
brought to this city by the steamer
Wash Honshell, which fortunately
was in sight OF the Brown at the time
OF the accident. The survivors and
also the wounded were brought to this
CITY on the HonShell Six of the Off
GERS SD crew of the Harry Brown are
in the marine wand Of the Eicksburg
hospital, as follows:
Captain John +. KERN, master, Sc
riousl : injured VIM. Cramme, carpen-
ter, leg broken; John Hardy, badly
scalded and otherwise seriously in
iureds Don Delaney, second engineer,
badly scalded and otherwise seriously
injured internally, Pilot Dravo, who
was lost, was of Pittsburg.
The tow boat Honshell was so near
the scene when the explosion occurred
that her yawls were lowered at once
and were promptly manned and saved
many lives that would have been lost
if it had not been for the pompt SER
vice.
Captain KERN. the master Of the
Brown also seriously injured remained
on the afterpart OF the cabin roof Of
the Brown, where be had been blown
bv the explosion. This portion of the
cabin noated off frcm the hull as.
sank. KERN and Pilot Dravo were in
the Browns pilot house when the ex-
plosion occurred. Captain KERN
states that it would be impossible for
any one to tell how many of the crew
perished, as the darkness prevented
any one seeing anything. He said it
seemed to him that the hull went down
in less than minute Captain KERN
says that he has no blame to attach to
any one, as the cause OF the explosion
will never be known, as the chief en-
gineer, VIM. Dougherty, who was on
watch, was lost.
The Harry Brown was built in 1882
and was owned by the big coal firm OF
Brown & Co. OF Pittsburg. The boat
was in perfect order, and had ust
cleaned boilers at New Orleans. Cap
tain KERN says she was running at
her usual speed, under no special pres
sure. The boat carried list of IS Off
GERS and crew, all white. She had in
tow six barges and two fuel boats.

Vote Themselves Clerks.

WASHINGTON, May s. -Afterseveral
years discussion and as many unsuc
cessful attempts, the house voted 13O
to 1OS, to place themselves on an equali'
ty with the senate in respect of the
matter of providing themselves with
clerks the year round, instead of for
the sessions of congress only. 1t was
not until 1898 that the house went even
so faraS that.

EX.SEN. Kellogg of Louisiana.

EN-SEN. Kellogg OF LOUISIANA, q
delegate to the st. Louis convention,
says that if the st. Louis convention
refuses to recognize silver and if the
Chicago convention follows suit, there
will be a third or silver ticket in the
field, and it is mis- belief that the elec-
toral college will fail to elect, and that
would throw the election in the House
OF Representatives. In such con-
tingency he believes that enough
States could be secured to elec. the
silver man. He counts on the entire
South with the possible exception OF
Maryland.

Fine Band.

The band with the Kirkhart-Ryan
circus gave concert at the head of
West Fourth street last evening
which was greatly enjoyed by several
hundred people. The band includ-
es about twenty men, and is not only
one of the best ever heard in Water

able to arrange for the assignments of
hours for the different amusements
on account of there being so many
Of various kinds but people certainly
know that when celebration of any

halves and that they are assured of a
good time so far as amusements and
entertainment goes. It is expected
there will be immense crowds from all
towns in this vicinity, and from

The old settlers held their annual
picnic in the Park last Saturday. A
portion of the forenoon was marred
with quite rain storm but the clouds
cleared away and g.. good 2 crowd
hastily gathered at the grounds and
erected temporary tables so that in a
short time everything was in readi-
ness for a good picnic. It is said that
there were about 300 people on the
grounds during the day,and about
$50 of them old settlers as designated
by the rules of the Old Settlers Asso=
citation. About fifty names were add
ed to the books as members.
The day was pleasantly passed in
eating, visiting and telling reminisen-
ces of pioneer days by the first set
tiers of this bountiful country. The
stories told of the hardships endured,
jokes that we're perpetrated, and of
the grasshopper days,were numerous,
bringing forth words of sympathy,
and created merriment for all listen
ers. While each one is deserving Of
cedit for ability in telling the most
interesting experiences, but it is said
Hon. Daniel Shell and j. A. Town
carried off the honors. Evenin g
brought the picnic to- a close, every
one present felt satisfied that the day
was one Of pleasure and wolud look
forward for another year to pass

MAD DOG.
Breaks LOOse-BitiDg Several
Dogs and is killed.

Monday night about II O'Clock
Christ Nessan, residing on section IL,
town of Dewald, was aroused by dogs
fighting in an addition he is building
to his house, where there were no out
side doors, and not yet occupied. He
looked out of his bedroom door and
could see his and another dog fight
ing, yelling at them the strange dog
left the room, went to Sidney Will
cox's house on section 3, biting his
dog, then went to Fred Kiehles' on
section2, there bis dog was bitten
six chickens and turkeys were killed
The next place visited was Trying
McBride's where more chickens were
killed, the dog then returned home.
On the following morning Chas'
Boldly, employed by Mr.. Nessan,
went cunning for the dog and those
bitten, killing the dogs belonging to
Wilcox, Mcbride, Kiehles and Lem
mers. Mr.. Nessan tied his dog up
while it showed no signs of being
mad, and killed it Tuesday after
noon for safety.
The dog causing the trouble be-
longed to A. Lemmers, was bitten
some three or four weeks ago and
was tied up with heavy chain but
showed no signs of hydrophobia. 1t
got loose by breaking the chain,
frothing at the mouth and showing
signs of being mad.
These cases are becoming frequent
in that locality and every precaution
should be taken to prevent further
damage being done by dogs to other
animals, if it is not done some person
will suffer through negligence and
death be the result. ,

WILLIAM .M'K1NLEY.

The nomination of VIM. Mckinley
at St. Louis was foregone con-
clusion for sometime past and created
but very little excitement throughout
the country. The action. of the con-
vention has received the approval of
the statwart republicans. Garret A.
Hobart of New Jersey as vice presi'
dent is said to be wise selection for
this Office. The platform is an
excellent one, one of interest and
benefit to the American p eople in
all stations. The action of the free
silver men is regretted yet the
republican party will continue on
prosperously without them, and be
returned to power in managing the
affairs of this country and prosperity
will once more prevail over this
fertile land. II ~ x 2:
