And Eleven of its Occupants Find
Watery Graves.
AT Cairo, ILL.,, Wednesday morning
shortly after s o'clock the ferry boat,
Katherine, capsized and eleven per-
sons were drowned.
The boat left her landing ct 8
o'clock. and was near the Illinois
shore, about a mile below Cairo,
when the storm struck her. She
turned completely over and remained
in that position for some time,
while her upper works we're carried
away, nothing remaining but her hull
and engines.
The captain, John L. Hacker, En-
pineer George Magee, Clerk Stanley
Posey and Joseph Curry, a passenger,
escaped from the wreck and they as
sisted DR.. Orr, Of Wicklffe, Ky, an
other passenger, out Of the debris and
they all climbed up on the on erturned
hnll, which was partly submerged.
They expected every minute would
sink them, and Hacker, Posey and
Curry swan ashore, while Magee re-
NAMED with Orr, who could not swim.

oProtectiOno 10 Buuco steorers.

There are two kinds of oprotec-
ton" with which heAmerican people
are familiar. One is the favor shown
to crooks, gamblers, "green goods"
men and the other law breakers by
corrupt police officials who are paid to
allow those gentry TO prey on the
gullble public. This kind of protec-
ton is often very profitable to both
the rogues and the dishonest men VINO
are bribed to permit violations of the
law. But 1t is universally condemned
by all upright and moral citizens.
The other kind of protection is the
collision between lawmakers and
certain monopolists who wish to secure
LEGISLATION under which they eau
plumber the people. In return for this
favor the beneiciaries OF the protec-
tive system pay large sums to the
party which supports their policy.
In this way protection enriches both
the corrupt Legislators and the mono
polists who flourish under a high
tariff.
Why is it that bargain between
the law entorcers and the law-break-
ers lie immoral and criminal, while q
bargain between the men VINO make
the laws and the trusts which break
them is a grand and GLORIOUS policy on
which Mckinley should be elected
. PresidentP

TRADE TOPICS.
Bradstreet's Business Review for the
Past Week.

Bradstreet's Business Review for the
Past Week.
Bradstreet's report of business con-
ditions for the past week is as follows:
"The reactionary tendency in prices,
shrinkage in railroad earnings, the
falling off in bank clearings and the
fact that the present constitutes the be-
ginning of the between-seasons period,
include the more conspicuous features
of the general business situation. On
the other hand business failures have
fallen off sharply.
'"The total number of business fail
ares throughout the United States this
week shows marked falling of from
the weekly average during the past
four months-216 as compared with
265 last week and 206 in the like week
of 1895.
"The most favorable report comes
from Kansas City, where the average
movement of merchandise continues
relatively quite active, mercantile cur
lections are fair and the trade pros
poets were never better. Improvement
is also noted on the Pacific coast, due
to the weather, which has rendered the
crop outlook more favorable and stim-
ulated purchases in staple lines. The
boot and shoe industry is conspicuous
" strong in that section, having re-
acted sufficiently to furnish most fac
tories with orders for some time ahead
and thus stimulate quotations for
hides, leather and shoes.
''The iron and steel industry reports
a moderate increase in request for raw
material, but nothing sufficient to
strengthen prices.
cat the south the most encouraging
report comes from Savannah, where
excursions have resulted in an in
creased volume of business. Georgia,
South Carolina and the general truck
farmers complain that want Of rain has
injured the crops. Wholesale mer-
chants at Galveston are not pushing
business and report demand light.
General trade throughout the cen
trail west has not met anticipations.
Decreases in prices of staples are for
wheat, flour, Indian corn, oats, lard,
sugar, live hogs, petroleum and foun-
dry pig iron.
practically unchanged quotations
are reported for pork, coffee, cotton
and print cloths.

Had a letter yesterday from a suffer-

him to stop chopping cotton and SOW

the carpets and whitewash the palings

clean up things generally, for some
town kinfolks were threatening to visit
them. He said be was about TO outdo
the girls, but his wife REINFORCED
them and said they dident ask such
favors but twice a year and were the
best daughters in the world, and she
thought he might spare a hand for a
day or two, and now he writes to me
for advice. Must he surrender and take
a hand from the field or not? No, OF
course not. The way to do is to do oil
these little household jobs yourself.
You can take upa carpet and hang it on
the paling and beat the dust out of it
as we'll as anybody, and withdrawing
is nothing but good fun. You can
hang a window curtain or put in a
pane of glass or mend a baby carriage
or repaint the mantel piece. My girls
pNpered every room in our house.
Their mother trained us to do all these
things, aud it saves a lot Of money.
My friend, that whitewashing must be
done if the world comes to an end.

HOLMES SUCCESSOR.
A Preacher at salt Lake Accused of
Horrible Grimes.

Horrible Crimes.
A horrible tragedy, in many respects
similar to the murders said to have
been committed by Durrant at San
Francisco, has been unearthed in Salt
Lake, Utah. The victims were two
women.
Rev. Francis Hermann is accused of
the mrr5ers. The scene Of the crimes
was the First Scandinavian church, 15S
Second East street.
The partially burned remains of one
Of the women were found in the fur
mace Of the church. The body Of the
other is supposed to be concealed in
the church. The preacher has disap-
peared.
Developments lead to the belief that
the Rev. Francis Hermann, who is
suspected, is man with a record Of
crime little less extensive than that Of
Il . notorious Holmes.

The Numbering Of Trains on N. C. r. 4.

one hardly reads paper without
kind, when there is reference to train
number this, or train number that,
and it is the easiest thing in the
world to get confused is for the
unaccustomed.
The Nj. G. H. Il. has system of
numbering which is very convenient.
The West bound trains are given
even numbers; the east bound, odd
numbers.
Some think the number on the cab of
the locomotive is the number of the
train, but this is not So The train
number is always in the headlight
The passenger trains which pass to
and from Augusta at the time given
are as follows: West bound A. NJ.

are: A. M. 500, 800; r. NJ 500. BOG:

The freight trains are also numbered
on this odd and even basis.

The State library will be busy place
during the session of the Legislature,
not only from the greatly increased
call on law books, etc, but in all kinds
of reading.
The magazines come in for their
share of perusal at the library-per-
haps more than their share for that
matter. for there is noted there as is OBJ
served in libraries generally, decided
increasing demand for short, if not
light reading. The majority of people
don't seem to have time, nowadays, to
settle down to story of any length.

long book than a corresponding length
in short ones. The intermissions be-

all. Why neglect all of either?
