Another Break in the Levee Causes
a Fresh Inuudation.
New Orleans, May 12.-AnOthcr bad
break occurred in the Burton Company
levee at Baton Rouge. 1t is now about
twenty-five feet wide. Work had been go
ing on vigorously all last night on the other
break, and at daylight the water from
the lower end of the town had partly re-
ceded, but the fresh break Will put il back
again.
A very large force is now at work, and
will likely stop the flow of water from
the new break, but the whole line along
this levee is so rotten that it will be diff
cult to hold it until the new structure
along the railroad can be finished.

THE SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN.

At meeting of the senatorial com
mittee at Bowling Green, Friday, at
which Senators Hankey and Harbaugh
were present, it was decided that a
speaker of national prominence II such
can be secured, be chosen and that a
sort of gala-day be held at Fort Meigs,
to open the campaign in this district.
After the opening it was decided to
leave the rest of the work of the cam
paign in the hands of the committees OF
the respective counties. The commit
tee also recommended that Senator Har-
baugh ignore the challeuge for a joint
debate, issued by Rev. A. Schafer, the
Democratic candidate. 1t appears that
MIR. Schafer has all of his plans mapped
out and declined to give way to any
thing proposed by the Republican can
didate.

Jesse Park, the boy mixed up with
the passing by "Red" Kelly of one
dollar bill raised to a five, in the store
OF Parks father, at Dunbridge, was
held to the United States grand jury
Saturday by United States Commits
sioner Brough, in 1000 bail Kelly,
fixed up the note and young park took
it in oyer the counter as five, giving
the change. Kelly, who had hearing
the day before, was also held in $1,000
and confessed to the impeachment, i'm
plicating the Park boy, who had been
held as witness. Kelly was arrested
at Perrysburg, after getting away with
the change. Young Park was to haye
joined him and then they were to have
gone into the show business, Park as a
gymnast and Kelly as a slight-of-hand
performer.-Toledo Bee,
There is considerable doubt OF the
truthfulness of "Red" Kelly's story and
1t is thought he is only duplicating
young Park in order to help himself
out Of bad box.

Great Corn.

George Richards last Saturday left
the Sentinel Office Il sample of u II acre
patch of corn on his farm, southeast OF
Bowling Green, A bunch of six stalks
measures oyer IL feet in height
Some of the stalks contain two large
ears. The stalks are strong, sturdy and
healthy, and evidence very prolific
soil. The corn is of the Lehman var
ietY. Let's hear from some of the other
big corn raisers. Sentinel. &.
Corn l2 feet high is very small stuff
when compared with that raised on
Garden Island, where acres of it can be
found with scarcely stalk less than l6
feet high, all of them bearing three and
many four large ears each, and in the
tassel of each stalk is found a gourd con-
tanning half peck of shelled corn.
The stalks grow so heavy that it is nee
essary to use portable saw mill to cut
them down.
Pumpkin seed were planted on the
same soil, and the vines grew so long
and fast that the sides OF the pumpkins
were worn through, by being dragged
on the ground. The largest pumpkins
have been half-soled with leather to
saye them from wearing out. These
pumpkins often grow so large that they
are used for cisterns, by cutting hole
in the top removing the "inards" and
imbedding the shell in the ground
We haye witnesses to prove the above
statements.

BIRD CAGES, TROPICAL
FRUITS, ETC.

Everyone knows that a bird
in the hand is worth two in
the bush and this is particu-
larly the case when the bird is
a pet canary and a good singer.
Nice birds should be kept in
nice cages and then they will
have no desire to take to the
bushes. We have just opened
up a variety of Bird Cages in
painted wire at $3.50 to $3.50;
and in brass 81. so to $3.50; in
the prettieSt and newest de-
signs imaginable.
The mango season is now
on in all its force and the small
boy is engaged in his yearly
tuSsle with that luscious fruit.
In former years for every
mango fit to eat the boy
knocked down with a rock he
destroyed eight or ten unripe
ones besides half running the
tree. All this is changed now
since the introduction of our
Wire Fruit Pickers. With one
of these attached to a long pole
any particular mango can be
plucked without hurting the
tree or knocking off the unripe
fruit. By using one of these
handy pickers one gets several
times more fruit in better con-
dition than by the old way of
