Killed Instantly.

The limited tram going west on the
Great Northern, while running sixty
miles an hour, struck and instantly killed
FIR ank Gress, an unmarried man thirty
81 ght years of age, about a mile and a
half east of this station. Gress and his
brot her Michael had been to Sank Centre
a nd were walking eastward toward
home-he was working on the farm OF
Ed. Morgan. and his brother on neigh
boring farm-when they observed the
train approaching some distance from
them. they were on fiji several feet
high, and at the approach OF the train
they separated, Michael stepping off on
the left and Frank on tie right. : After
the train had passed Michaei did not!
Gee bic 6rother shut ION coming back to
the track saw his body lying beside the
road a.hundred feet from where he had
evidently been struck, as his coat which
he had on his arm had fallen where he
was when struck by the train. his
brother went to him and found chat he
W as dead, the right side of his head be-
ing crushed to pulp. both arms broken,
and otherwise bruised.
The train stopped and backed up until
the engineer could see that the BODY was
in charge OF the brother, when he pro-
ceeded to the station and reported the
occurrence. Deputy Coroner Nc Masters,
Officer Fish, Claim Agent Howard ofthe
Great Northern, and one or two Others
took handcar and went to the scene of
the accident. DIR. McMasters enouired
into the matter from the brother. who
gave him the facts as above. and he de-
cided that no inquest. was necessary.
The body was taken IN charge by the
brother and removed to his home. The
Great Northern authorities authorized
Mr.. Howard to pay the expenses Of
burial. Deceased had lived in this yicin-
ity about year. and at one time oc-
cupied the Chnrles Brown place, lust
south of the city. Why he did not leave
the track TO point OF safety is and ever
will be mystery, as he had ample time
and there was nothing to prevent.

The Water-Hyaciutb.
lHarper's Weeklvl

Reports from the parishes declare that
the water-hyacinth approving far great
er nuisance this season than last year
that 1t is beyond the control OF the local
authorities, and that the Federal Govern
ment Will have TO take In charge the
task OF getting rldof 1t, or all the water
ways OF the Southwest will be- damned
UP and rendered unnavigable. The water
hyacinth is a Central American aquatic
plant. which produces a beautiful flower
of lilac or light blue. Nine years ago
1t attracted the attention OF a Louisiana
visitor. who brought a few OF the plants
here and cultivated them In q bucket
Nobody has traced the history OF the
plant for the next five or six years, but
three years ago a few OF these flowers
were found in Bayou St. John. one OF the
outlets OF New Orleans 1t seemed to
flourish IN the climate Of Louisiana even
more luxuriantly than in Central America.
When, however. freeze came, the water
hyacinth disappeared. died. and sunk to
the bottt i OF the bayou. Next spring.
however, II showed itself again. aud be-
fore the cold weather came It had COM
pletely covered the bayou. which looked
like field OF purple heather. the water
being absolutely invisible, hidden by the
thick foliage OF the plant and navigation
was seriously impeded. At considerable
expense the hyacinths I'm the bayou were
got rid Of but II has since been heard
from In a hundred different localities.

ling the lumber industry TO death. II
was resolved 10 abandon these bayous
already invaded by the hyacinth. as II
would cost too much TO get rid Of II, and
TO try to preserve those still free from II
by means of bocms or distractions
thrown across the stream The news now
Is that all the efforts made to stop the
spread OF the pest have failed. II has
invaded Grand Lake, forty miles long
and from two to ten broad, considerably
larger tnan Lake George, and threatens
10 convert II into a meadow-a score Of
purple islands composed OF water-hya-
cinths floating on It's bosom and being
waited from one side to the other. Even
the mighty Atchafalaya. the largest river
in Louisiana after the Mississippi, one
third the volume of that stream. and
with a velocity OF four or five miles an
hour. Is dotted with hyacinth islands
So far no means OF getting rid OF the
pest has been found. The hyacinth dIsap-
pears with cold weather. and occasionally.
without any apparent reason. the bulbs
sink to the bottom of the stream: but
whenever II does so II always comes TO
tho surface of the water next season
worse than ever. There are some $500
square miles of lakes and waterways In
Louisiana. and, II they are all given over
to water-hyacinths the latter will be
great public nuisance. as these water

are very "odoriferous" at times.

resolution had been consistently fol-

question about the position OF silver in
our currency, nor would there ever have
arisen any occasion for issuing bonds to
maintain the Treasury gold reserve. No
