The mystery surrounding the fate OF
Charles Larson, the missing member
of the party thrown into the river by
the capSiZing of row boat near the
Omaha railroad bridge wednesday,
night, was dissipated yesterday by the
finding of Larson's body in the water
below the Robert street bridge. The
body was found by Robert Scott and
John Welty, living at PTS Midway ave-
nue., who discovered it floating down
stream and towed it to the bank
where Coroner Nelson made an exanl-
nation and ordered the remains re-
moved to the morgue. Shortly after
ward Larson's relatives identified the
body.
Notwithstanding the fact that it is
now established that Larson was
drowned instead of having safely
reached the shore, as was believed ir7
some quarters, the case is still occu-
plying the attention of the police, as
the dead mans family stoutly main

careful Investigation of the affair
seems to leave little ground for this
conclusion AS soon as the suspicious
of the family were made known to the

FLYING FISH.
They Are Plentiful in Tropical Wa

The flying fish loves deep wa, and
is found throughout the length and
breadth of tropical seas, says the
Forest and Stream. He is fond Of
feeding near the gulf weed of the Sar-
gassos, and deposits his stingy glut-
inouS spawn on its yellow branches.
Vessels bound from New York to the
Carribbee islands upon reaching the
"horse ATTITUDES" sometimes encounter
vast quantities of drifting weed. strung
out into long ribbon-like patches, about
an eighth of mile apart. Among this
golden weed, with it's delicate leaves
and globular seeds, exists a curious
family of cutie fish. crabs, mOllusks
and small fishes. Upon these the fly
ing fish preys and they in turn de-
YOUR its spawn. Every plunge of the
steamer as she plows through the blue
tropical waters friShtens dozens of fly
ing fish into the air, where they scat

glistening ON their gauzy wings.
The flying fish of the Atlantic at
tains a length of nearly one foot and
a breadth between wing-tips of eleven
inches. He has round, compact body,
about one inch in diameter near the
pectoral fins or wings There is also
an auxiliary pair of ventral fins or
wings, not nearly so large as the pee
toral pair. The wings are formed by
a thin, transparent membrane stretch

HER PAIN IS ENDED

HERSELF IN A CITY HOSPITAL

HAD SUFFERED FOR MONTHS,
AND SURGICAL SKILL HAD BEEN
UNABLE TO RESTORE HER
CONFIDENCE.
SHEET WAS AROUND HER MECH
When the LifeIess Body Was Found
Hanging in the Wardrobe Oh
Her Room.

MRS. Wenzel Mikesh, a Bohemian
woman whose residence has been at
429 Superior street, committed suicide
by hanging some time Saturday night,
at the city hospital where she has
been patient since Aug. 10. Mrs.
MikeSh was a sufferer from severe
pains in the abdomen, the exact cause
of which City Physician Ancker and
his associates were not able to deter
mine, although the case was diagnosed
as one of floating kidney" The ex-
iStence of an abdominal tumor, how
ever, was deemed possible, and DR..
Ancker. after several days considera-
ton. placed DR.. Charles A. Wheaton
in charge of the patient. An explora-
tory incision was made, which confirm
ed the diagnosis of the hospital physl-
clans, but did not disclose any tumor
as had been suspected Mrs. Mikesh for
some time continued to complain OF
severe pains. but during nearly week
past has been much improved. ana the
use of opiates, which she had required
to induce sleep, had been discontinued
for two or three days. She was still
left however, in the "one-bed" room,
to which she had been removed during
the period of her greatest suffering.
Saturday night the nurse in charge
was especially pleased with Mrs. Mi
kesh's apparent Improvement, and per-
mitted her to go to sleep without any
light in the room. Yesterday morning
at o'clock. however, it was found
that the woman had gotten up during
the night and, taking a sheet had hung
herself in the closet adjoining the
room. Life was extinct.
Mrs Mikeshs age was given as
thirty-three when she entered the hos
pital.

MONUMENT TO BETSY ROSS.
Twin Cities Backward About Trying
to Secure Us Location.

The Elizabeth Ross Monument as
sCciation, recently incorporated in this
state for the purpose Of erecting
monument to Betsy Ross, the maker
and designer of the country'S flag, the
stars ard stripes, has received the
hearty Endorsement of the leading men
and women from Maine to California.
President Mckinley and wife, and Vice
President Hobart and wife, were the
first to indorse and contribute to the
fund Of the association. Following
came members of the cabinet, congress
and governors and their wives, and
letters of encourag cement from such
women as Mrs. U. S. Grant and Mrs.
John A, Logan.
Up to the present time neither st.
Paul nor Minneapolis has put forth
any effort or interested Themselves IL
securing the location of this monument,
which promises to be one of the finest
ever erected, and the first one, it is
claimed to a patriotic woman in this
country The East, however, is in cor
Fespondence with the association, and
the secretary has already visited Phila-
deIphia, and next month after visiting
Boston, gees again to Philadelphia. at
which time it is expected a proposition
viii be presented to that city unless
either one or both Of the Twin Cities
takes some steps towards securing the
location of it here in the West. There
are number of slightly places in st.
Paul where such a monument would
attract the attention of every visitor
to the city. Como park would be a
very attractive and suitable place.
When the car line is extended through
from Minneapolis to St Paul by Ham
line, the state fair grounds it is
thought, would afford q. magnificent
site, and is believed the state would
set aside and care for suitable space.
The suggestion of a Midway" or an
'Interurban' park along the line OF the
present interurban track, in which the
two cities would be equally interested,
would afford a very beautiful location.
One nice feature connected with the
erection of this monument will be the
fact that the association expects that
most of the fund will be contributed
by the ladies and the school children,
and a direct appeal will be made to
them for that purpose The date set
for the dedication is one year from
next Fourth of July.

Theodore Borup received a dispatch
from Washington, D. c., yesterday,
informing him that his young nephew,
Thomas Hutchins, had been admitted
to the United States Naval academy
at Annapolis, Md. Mr.. Borups nephew

Thomas Rutchins is seventeen years
of age. He was appointed as an alter
nate from one of the Pennsylvania
congressional districts, where he re-
sided. The young man who received
the appointment as principal from the
same district failed to pass the rigor-
Gus examination to which all candi-
dates for admission to the naval acad-
envy are subjected. This gave Thomas
Hutchins the opportunity he desired.
Mr.. Bofup said that the young man
passed a highly creditable examination.
The many friends of Commander
Hutchins, who met him upon the occa-
sion of his visit to st. Paul some time
ago. will be pleased to hear Of his
sons success. The young man is also
a nephew of Mrs. E. S. Simpson, of
this city.

EyICTED CORPSES
Where the Dead HIVE Only 81 Tenn
nOrary Resting Place

Mexican cemeteries and burial customs are
very different from those in other parts Of
the world The little city of Guanajuato ex-
hibits these peculiarities to a marked ex
tent. There the dead man is entitled to but
temporary repose in the public cemetery
His body can rest in peace for five years
after which term, unless his family hire the
ground for an additional period, it is evicted
for nonpayment Of rent. The Gunanajuato
cemetery is filed with catacombs built with
extremely thick walls. Each holds a single
body, and after the tomb is closed the door
is Theoretically sealed with stone. Access
to the catacombs is allowed from morning un-
til nightfall, and the dead receive frequent
visits from their friends. At the end of five
years the corpse must give up his resting
place unless his family pay the municipality
S25 rent for a new term of repose. pc
culiarity of the Guanaiuato atmosphere pre-
vents decay, and rapidly transforms the
corpses in these temporary tombs into mum
mics. The bodies of the evicted dead, each
bearing a tablet inscribed with the corpse 5
name, are leaned in long rows against the
inside cemetery walls, and there they stay
for years before crumbling into dust.
