thorities for foaters in the. Missouri.
Many people are missing, of whose
deaths their friends have no positive in
formation. Most of them have proba-

st. Paul, Minn., April 1O-The Mis-
sissippi began to rise again Friday
morning and is now 179 feet. People
along the rivers bank are = moving
again. Signal service officers say the
rise is occasioned by melting snow in
the woods. Mellete, S: D., is flooded and
railroads are washed out. There have
been no mails there for two weeks. The
James river has risen seven feet higher
than ever before, and is a, mile wide.
It has washed out the three large iron
bridges In that county. Three farmers
are reported drowned at different points
while trying to ford swollen streams.
Much live stock has persisted in the
flood. All farm dwellings, ON the river
bottom are swept away.

Guilt Confessed.

Jacksonville, ILL.,, April Sat last the
mystery of the murder of Charles J..
Hastings has been cleared away. C. L.
Draper, in Jail for the crime, has made
confession, explaining every detail Of
the affair. Draper's statement Gre
ated the greatest excitement here,
where interest in the death of Hastings
has been intense. Hastings was an alb
stract clerk in the Office of Judge E. P
Kirby. On the morning; of April 1 his
body was found in the Office, terribly
nnutilated and bearing many CHASTITY
wounds, evidently inflicted with a
pocketknife. Draper, who, it was
claimed, was an enemy of Hastings.
was arrested on suspicion. Blood was
found on his clothing, and, although
he stoutly maintained his innocence,
circumstances seemed to implicate him
in the affair.

TARIFF BILL HELD BACK.
Senate Finance Committee Delays
Presenting the Measure.


Preventing the Measure.
Washington, April 10. - The repub-
lican senators who are acting as a sub
committee of the senate committee OF
finance in the preparation of the tariff
bill are inclined in their estimates now
preparing to postpone the date of the
presentation to the senate a little be-
ycnd the limit originally fixed by them.
They express the opinion that it may
be two weeks from the present time
before it will be in shape to be reported
Some of them postpone the time until
two weeks from Monday.
While no detailed information can b.
secured it is understood that many re-
auctions in duties have been made. The
disposition of the committee is to make
quite general reduction, but this is
found to be task not easy of accom-
plishment because of the insistence of
senators upon having the strongest pro-
lection for the articles in which they
are particularly interested. There are,
indeed, many demands for increases,
and some of these are so pressing that
the members of the committee are find
ing themselves considerably embar-
raised between their desire to satisfy
senators whose votes will be essential
to the success of the bill and their con-
viction that the interests of the party
demand reduction rather than increase.

Proposed at tho Table.

'.The best dinner yarn that I ever
heard" observed woman at Bos-
ton dining party recently, was the
story of the young man who was much
in love with a certain young lady but
hadn't the courage to tell her so. One
evening they were dining out together
and it so happened that; a hated rival
took the girl in to dinner. Something
in the rivals manner made the bash
full lover suspect that the rival intend
ed to propose to the girl that very even
ing. AS the dinner progressed the
lover became absolutely sure Of this and,
spurred on by necessity, he resolved to
nut his own fortune to test and at once.
Tearing leaf from his notebook he
accordingly scrubbed line or two,
folded it and gave it to the nearest
servant with a hand that to the lady in
blue. CThere was fortunately but one
such at the table or matters might
have been complicated.) The girl re-
ceiyed the note, opened it and read:
will you be my wife?' followed by his
name. He had forgotten to send the
pencil, however. But the girl was as
ready as the man was lacking and she
turned to the servant and said, calmly:
Just tell the gentleman yes. Boston

Gold Resources Of the Transvaal,

ID ,
OF his recent extended study Of the
gold resources of South Africa, DR..
Becker says that the Transvaal repub-
lie contains the largest gold deposits in
the world. Within fifteen miles of
Johannesburg there is an amount Of
gold, practically in sight, estimated to
be worth $3,5O0,00O, 000 or nearly as
much as the entire volume of gold
coin now in the world. The gold is ex-
traordinarily uniform, as uniform as
coal in an ordinary deposit, as shown
by shafts which have been sunk to a
depth of 1900 feet, and diamond drill
ings which have gone still further. At
present the gold is being taken out at
the rate of $10OOO0,00O a year. But the
most surprising news which DR.. Becker
brings is the testimony of an American
who was formerly his assistant in the
Geological survery, and who is now en-
gagged in mining in the Transvaal,
where he has made several millions of
dollars. This American mining expert
says to his knowledge and belief, the
gold deposits, instead being thirty miles
long-the region now in Sights prac-
tically 1000 miles long except that in
the rest of the region later deposits
have come in over the gold. This,
however, will not prevent economical
mining, but will simply delay it.

ChiIdren's Letters.

The following little story was sent to
the editor some time ago to be used IN
the Christmas editions:
Dear Editor: My papa takes your
paper, and we like it very much. l am
9 years old and thought would write
story.
It was Christmas Eve. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bartelle were sitting by the table talk
ing of the old times, when all at once
there was cry without. They both
went to the door. There was a little
girl who said she was hunting Santa
Claus, and that her mother was sick and
that she was wanting him to come there
and give them something to eat and
to burn in their stove. They told her
to come in and she would go and see
her mother. She did, and found her
awful sick. The next day she died (she
was a widow. Mr.. and Mrs. Bartelle
kept the little girl who introduced her
self as Lily Madison. She went to
school every day that she could. She
was very smart and learned very fast.
Some Of the scholars were very mean
to her at first, but it was not very long
until every one loved her. She soon
grew up and taught school and helped
the old folks along. Many happy New
Years and happy Christmas she spent
there. Always be kind to the old, BLIND
and poor. and you will get paved bach
in a better way. Lulu Rean1.
