LIGHTNING ,NAconvlcr CAMP.
Four Criminals Killed and Twenty Others
Escaped In the Resnlting PanIc.

Escaped In the Resulting Panic.
Chicago, June 2S.-A Daily News spe-
cial from Dakota, Georgia, says:
During terrific thunder storm
lightning struck convict camp near
here last night and as a result four con-
yicts are dead. Three are dying and
twenty escaped during the panic which
ensued. The camp Is at the lumber
mills of Grees Bros. and about 100
prisoners from the state penitentiary
We're at work there. Last night during
supper the storm came up and struck
the dining shack, demolishing IL. Two
convicts, negroes, were instantly killed
by the lightning: two others died from
their injuries few minutes later and
several are shocked SO badly that they
are dying.
Twenty convicts seeing their oppor
tunity. dashed past the guards, who
were panlc-stricken, and made their es-
cape. Bloodhounds were put on their
trail. but owing TO the heavy rain the
trail had been covered up. Two of the
men We're captured and they had been
In the hospital there for few days and
were too weak to get away. The Wild
est excitement relgns and hundreds of
people are out In pursuit. The state
will offer reward II the men are not
captured.

KEANE is COMING BACK.
Catholic Archbishop Prefers to Live In the
Unitcd States.

New York. June 2S.-The Journal
and Advertiser says: Archbishop
Keane, former rector of the Catholic
university at Washington, is about to
return to the United States. Letters re-
ceived here say that he will relinquish
his duties at the propaganda within n
few days and will then go to France,
where he expects to pass few weeks
with personal friends. He will arrive
in this city during the last week in
July. But 1t Is more than probable
that unexpected circumstances will
bring him here sooner than he expects.
1t is said that he is to be appointed
archbishop of New Orleans to succeed
the venerable archbishop Janssens,
who died suddenly week ago. 1t Is
known that Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland will favor the ap-
pointment of Archbishop Keane to this
important charge. He is very close to
them and they are anxious that he
should once more resume his work
among the hierarchy here. 1t is also an
open secret that the archbishop Is not
satisfied with his work in Rome and
that he would prefer to be here among
his own friends.

The United States government at
tempted to make a temporary arrange
ment with Great Britain that joint
measures be taken for the better pro-
lection of the seal herds against in
discriminate slaughter. but the attempt
was unsuccessful. partly perhaps be-
cause the British commission which
investigated the subject last year does
not believe the extinction of the herds
TO be so imminent as the American
commission thinks 1t TO be. Both gov
ernments have reappointed the COM
missioners who Investigated the sub
ject last year to make another investi-
CATION this season. and the United
States has assigned three revenue cut
tiers to patrol duty TO prevent depre-
dations on the herds. Under the eX-
isting agreement the way will be open
to new arrangements next year.

Of Rogers Il Son some time early In the
evening. They had previously attached
"A wire To the trolley line OF the electric
railway. This wire was run through
an alley, over a transom and to the
safe. Another wire. attached 10 the
rail OF the street ear track, was brought
into the bank. Al the end OF these
wires were carbon points. With these
carbons an attempt was made with the

OF the combination. The experiment
worked all right and the knob had
been nearly melted away when the
current was shut on shortly after mid.
night. The burglars then gave up the
task. The Job was planned scicntin.

the trouble OF placing little pail OF

metal to fall on, and thus avoid set

The Importance which often attaches
to a single word has been emphasized
in a curious way in New Jersey. The
legislature. at its last session. took
favorable action on proposed amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting
all kinds of gambling. In some way
the word prohibited" was altered to
provided" in the amendment as acted
on, and the error is so serious that the
legislature has been called together in
special session to rectify it.

II. A. Huston. state chemist of In
diana, in n report says: The estimated
sales OF commercial fertilizers in In
diana during 1896 amounted 10 1900
tons. This is an apparent decrease OF
5000 tons from the estimated sales in
1895. The decrease is, ! believe, only
apparent, for II now seems probable
that the estimate for 1895 was too
high. owing to considerable number
OF tags being carried over which were
really used in 1896. although they ap-
pear 10 the 1895 sales. 1t is probable
that an estimate OF $4,000 tons in 1895
and $4,000 tons In 1896 would more
nearly express the real facts. In the
1900 tons for which tags were
issued were 10.I00 tons OF bone
and non-acldulated packing house
products: 21.soo tons of com
pietc" fertilizer. that is. acIdu-
lated goods containing phosphorlc acid.

that the use Of typesetting machines

ceive but ten cents per thousand "ems"

Mt this rate the machines cannot be OPP

Government had withdrawn it's Sl5,O
appropriation for the State Agricultural
College was untrue, the letter in the last

possible doubt relative to the matter
the following letter from Hon. James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, is
given. 1t is sent to the ADVOCATE by
!. d. Graham, Secretary of the AgTicul-
tural College. In the letter Mr.. Wilson
says: sit is not fact that we have
withdrawn the $4,000 from the Expert
ment Station in Kansas, nor have we
ever thought Of doing it. / recognize
that the people Of Kansas have perfect
right to make such faculty as they see
fit The only justification that we would
have in recommending to the proper
official that the money be withheld
would be the devotion Of it to uses not
intended by law. have no evidence
whatever that any such use Of the money
has been made may say further that
we do not look into the faculties Of the
States as far as our relations with them
ARE concerned. Kansas has perfect
right to adopt whatever political ideas
she may see fit, be it Republican, Demo-
cratic or Populist, So long as the money
appropriated by Congress is used along
the lines intended, the endorsement of
this department will be cheerfully given"
