A MILLION FOR SIGHT.

Charles Kouss, tho New York Millionaire,
Offers = Royal Fee for Restored Eye
sight.
NEW YoRK. July 14--For the restora-
ton of sight to his rapidlyfailing eyes,
Charles Broadway Rouss. millionaire
of this city, will pay 81, 900, 900. This
offer is open to anyone who may wish
to try. man, woman or child Mr..
Rouss first became alarmed for his
eyes about two years ago, when his
sight began to fail very rapidly
He consulted all the noted eye spe-
cialists. but without relief. Mr.. Rouss
then determined he would try new
way of solving the problem, and
offered the 81. 600, coo to any one who
could make him see clearly as he
did five or six years ago. The result
of this proceeding was as might have
been expected. Medical people of every
school, clairvoyants, faith healers,
Christian scientists, spiritualists, In
dian doctors and cranks of all
sorts have poured letters in
upon the blind man by the thou
sand Scores have called in person
and others have sent their agents.
Mr. Rouss does not try all the cures
that are offered him. Indeed, he tries
only those which commend themselves
to his Judgment but as yet he has
failed to find one that has had the
least effect upon the ruined nerve.

MALAGA IN JULY.

the Sight-Seer.

the Sight-Seer.
1t was July, and we had arrived at
Malaga from Marseilles by water The
town lay white and shining under
barren umphitheater of mountains.
Between it and the Vinuesa was great
stretch of hot, hazy, shimmering. sun
lit water, over which little boats each
with white awning up. pulled out to
meet us. We had read in Mr.. Hare's
"Wanderings in Spain" of the eXtortion
and shocking manners of Malaga's
boatmen; the same story was in Muir
ray, with an added warning to keep
our temper. But we had no trouble.
Once we had landed, and on the open
quay j had unstrapped and I'M
locked all our bags for a customs Off
Ger, who was too lazy to look into them;
and at the Hotel Victoria the landlord
had given us large, clean, airy, brick
fioored bedroom, for which he asked
less than the guide-bool1 told us to beat
him down to; we We're free without
further delay or bother to make our
plans and be off on the road at any
moment we chose.
But first of all we went out to have
look at Malaga. Who was it said that
sightseeing is the art of disappoint-
ment? Surely we had not come all
this way to the town of Hamet ell Zegri,
to walk through brand-new, wide
streets, lined with big modern shops
and clubs and cafes. The huge interior
OF the cathedral was unimpressive- The
broken walls of the old Moorish fortress
stood on the top of far too high a hill
to be climbed in the staring sunshine
of a July day. And even Murray conld
direct us to nothing else but a plain,
bare church, where the banner of ST.
Ferdinand is said to hang, which we
found fast shut; and an old Moorish
arch, now neatly restored; and a river,
dried up by the blazing sun of a tropical
summer, with railway track running
down the middle of its bed, between
groups of wooden shanties. We met
women in black lace mantillas, or else
In long, pointed shawls, a gay flower
stuck in their hair, and men with clean
shaven faces, in low, broad-brimmed
hats and wide red belts. We saw plenty

to have known better than to expect
more. Still, somehow, its absence add

AWFUL ACCIDENT.
A Loaded Excursion Train and q
Fast Freight Collide.
Twenty-Eight People Killed Outright and
FIfty-One Injured Many of Whom VIII
Die-Responsibility for the Accident
Rests ON Engineer Montgomery.

OMAHA, Neb., July IA heavy
loaded excursion train and a fast
freight on the Northwestern road col
lided shortly after six o'clock Saturday
evening near Logan, Ia, % people
were killed and 81 injured. Many of
the latter will die. Omaha was city
of mourning yesterday. The bright
Sabbath morning brought the full
realization of the greatest catastrophe
that ever wreaked death and desola-
ton in the hearts and firesides of its
people. No part of the city was spared.
There are broken homes and bleeding
hearts everywhere, and sorrow reigns
supreme. Twenty-four dead are iden-
titled, and the remains of the others
are so badly mutilated that identitica-
ton is hardly possible, all semblance
of humanity being crushed out of the
corpses-
1t took much time to prepare the in
jured for their journey to this city. 1t
was necessary to transport them a con-
siderable distance after their wounds
were dressed. Owing to the mum Der,
it took still more time for the physi-
clans, even though they worked as
hard and fast as they could, to adjust
the bandages and to tenderly dress the
gaping wounds that caused men, wom-
en- and children to scream in the loud
est tones in their supreme agony.
OF the more seriously injured some
will die, some will hold their beds for
weeks and months, some are in COM
parison but slightly injured. The
wounds range from surface cuts to in
ternal injuries, which must result in
death.
The responsibility for the accident
rests on Engineer Montgomery of the
Inflated excursion train. His orders
were to wait at Logan for the fast mail
and fast freight. He started his train
out Immediately after the mail passed,
forgetting about the freight The
head end collision occurred 20 minutes
later on a curve. The heavy freight
passed partially over the passenger.
All the people killed were in the front
coach of the excursion train.

ceives the Foraker Club.
CANTON, O., July 13.-In a speech to
the Foraker club. which visited him
Saturday, ex-Gov. William Mckinley
said:
Recent events have imposed upon the pa
triotic people of this country responsibility
and duty greater than that of any since the
civil war Then it was a struggle to preserve
the government of the United States Now it
is struggle to preserve the financial honor of
the government of the United States. Then it
was contest to save the union. Now it is a
contest to save, spotless, its credit. Then ser
ton was arrayed against section. Now men OF
all sections can unite, and will unite, to rebuke
the reputation of our obligations and the de-
basement of our currency. In this contest pa
triotism is above party and national honor is
dearer than any party name. The currency
and credit of the government are good now,
and must be kept good forever.
Our trouble is not with the character of the
money that we have. but with the threat to de-
base it. We have the same currency that we
had in 1S92-good the world over and unques-
toned by any people Then, too, we had
unexamped credit and prosperity. Our
difficulty is to get that money in cir
culation and invested in productive en-
lean labor. This is impossible with the dis
trust that hangs over the country at the pres
ent time, and every effort to make our dollars,
or any one of them, worth less than 100 cents
What we want is a sound policy, financial and
industrial, which will give courage and conf

money-the lille money that we already have
in gainful pursuits will put every idle man in

there is wages. and when there are work and
wages there are consumers vino constitute the
best market for the products of our country.
Having destroyed business and confidence

Swung to a Limb Near Tishomingo, I. t.
Relieved to Have Been Horse Thieves.

Gill, sheriff of Tishomingo county,
came in from Tishomingo, the capital
of the Chicl1asaw nation, and reports
that three white men were found one
morning recently hanging to a limb
near Reagan post Office, a few miles
from Tishomingo. The men were
strangers in the neigh borhood, and
the crime is a mystery. It is
generally believed that they were
horse thieves, and were followed and
captured by a party of Texans and
swung up on the spot They were
still hanging when the sheriff left the
