TOO MANY PICKERS.
10000 People Anxious to Gather the
Strawberry Crop of One Farm.

SARCOXIE. NO. May 18-The straw
berry picking season has opened up here
with the greatest and in many respects the
most picturesque gathering of people ever
assembled in any community. The Sarcoxie
Horticultural Association, controlling a
farm of 1,400 acres in strawberries, adver-
tised for ten thousand pickers Their cir
culars were responded to by fully twenty
thousand people, who are now besieging the
hotels and lodging houses of Sarcoxie. The
overflow has been so great that thousands
were forced to sleep on the ground and
prepare their meals in hastily improvised
dugouts or Shanties constructed of
branches and leaves. The line of campers
extends for ten miles up and down on either
side of Spring river, the long string of
tents and brightly burning camp fires re-
minding one of army life during the excit-
ing days of the war Men representing all
most every known vocation are here Some
of them have seen better days, but pow
erty having forced them to leave the ranks
of thousands of unemployed in large cit
les, they have sought the field as a means
of keeping soul and body together. The
weather is favorable now and the crop Is
being gathered very fast The first ship
ments are going now in carload lots to St
Paul and other Northern points. Trainload
shipments will commence in a few days.

tously by Mayor Maybury at the beginning

ST. ELIAS TO BE SCALED.
PennsyIvanians EN- Route to Alaska
to Explore "a Noted Mountain.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1S.-An expedi-
ton left here last evening that has for its
object the exploration of the country round
about Mount st. Elias, Alaska, and the
possible ascent of that mountain, which
was for a long time considered the highest
in America. It's exploration is particularly
interesting, because it lies in the disputed
territory between the United States and the
British possessions in North America, and
while there have been number of eXpedi-
lions started to explore and climb Mount
St. Elias, all attempts to do so have hith-
erto failed. The expedition has the coun-
tenance of the government and is to be
under the leadership of Henry G. Bryant
of Philadelphia who has had considerable
experience as an explorer. The other MEM
bers of the party are Samuel j. Entrikin,
of West Chester Pa, who was second in
command of the Peary expedition of 1885
1894, and Z. b. latham, of the United States
Coast Survey. The party will go by way OF
Chicago and ST. Paul to Seattle where a
steamer for Sitka will be taken on May 70.
1t will thus be seen that Prince Luigi of
Savoy will have interesting competition for
the honor of being the first to ascend Mt.
St. Elias which is over $1,000 feet high.
Prince Luigi proposes to reach San Fran
cisco early in June and go from there to
Tacoma, where he will take a steamer for
Yakatat bay which he calculates reaching
about June %, afterWard by boat and
sleigh, crossing the glaciers and mountains
to the foot of Mt. ST Elias. The prince
will be accompanied by several thoroughly
experienced Alpine guides, and he expects
to return to Italy the beginning Of October.
The prince also expects to climb Logan'S
Peak. He will be assisted in his expedition
by DR.. Paoli Vecchi, of San Francisco;
Professor Fay, eX-president of the APP
palachian Mountain Club, of Boston; Prof.
Davidson and Israel c. Russell of the
Geological Survey, and w. A. Ingraham, of
Seattle

POINTER FOR POLICE.
They Should Examine the Product of
the Sausage ManufactoryA


CHICAGO, May 18.-Additional develop
ments in the mystery surrounding the death
of Mrs. Luetgert, the imprisoned sausage
manufacturers wife, have led to the firm
belief that if Luetgert killed her he did so
without any help. There will be no attempt
to find any accomplices or make further
arrests A witness was found to-day who
is said to have told the officers he heard
screams coming from the sausage factory
the night Mrs. Luetgert is believed to have
been killed. Work is going on in the big
factory building and TIE surrounding lot
to find any trace of the crime that is be-
leved to have occurred there The police
have put several detectives at work in the
basement and on the first floor of the
one of which 4urs. Luetgert's body is sup
posed to have been destroyed. Two sewer
experts are assisting in the task.
AS a result of their search to-day the
police claim to have discovered a blood
stained chsel in Luetgerts sleeping room

gert's office in the factory A piece of dress
goods partly eaten by acid, was found in
the vat adjoining the one in which Mrs
Luetgert's wedding ring was found. About
half way between the watts and the furnace
was discovered what is firmly believed to
be a small portion of the woman's body.
Near the vat in which Mrs. Luetgert's
body is supposed to have been consumed
were found pieces OF burlaps partly de-

Bottle Makers ASK an Advance.

PITTSBURG. May 18.-The conference of
the wage committees of the green bottle
manufacturers and workers on the scale for
the next fire began at the Monongahela
House this morning. This is only 81 pre-
liminary skirmish, as both sides call it, for
nothing definite will be decided upon. Sug-
gestions of revisions in the present scale
were submitted and discussed. The work.
ers want an advance but are not making
extravagant claims. The season has been
a prosperous one so far as work is con-
cerned but the manufacturers contend that
business has not been good as prices are
low. No hitch in a settlement seems likely
