ST, PETERSBURG, Sept ga dis
patch from Ufa, in southern Russia, says
that the steamer Admiral Gervals, with
200 passengers, while lying off the

neighboringvessels. Many passengers
jumped overheard to escape the flames
Some were rescued, but many more
were drowned. Two were burned to g
crisp and several others seriously. The

KILLING CANNIBAL FISH.
Iowa Lakes to bs Rid of Troublesome
Gar and Buffalo Species.

Sioux City, Iowa, Sept. 21.-An eff
fort is to be made to have the state
legislature next winter adopt plan
for the removing of Objectionable fish
in Spirit lake. For a number of years
the state has pursued a policy of en-
couraging the breedin of fish in
the streams and lakes and a
great many young fish have been
placed in Spirit lake, Okoboji lake
Clear lake and others in the northern
part of the state Recently it has been
discovered that the most of the fish
placed in Spirit lake became food for
the garfiSh, which are multiplying in
great numbers and thriving well on the
good food at state expense. Now it
is proposed that the lake be cleared of
the gar and also the buffalo fish, which
are plentiful.
B. f Stevens, of st. Louis, who has a.
fine cottage on the shore of Spirit lake
and spends his summers there, has Of
fered to donate something to assist in
having the lake cleared of the cannibal
hsh at private expense, but a number
of others, led by Frank Faulkes, of
Cedar Rapids, proposes to enlist the
interest of the sportsmen and have the
state do the work. 1t is claimed that
the gar can be taken out of the lake
quite easily by seining the edges of the
lake at spawning time.

LOST IN A CAVE.
Thrilling Experience of Searchers AT
ter Lost Exploring Party.

Cumberland Gap, Tenn, Sept I'll
the search party that went up the un-
derground river in search of the Henry
BourSon and Charles SOmmerS explOr-
ing expedition have returned unsuc-
cessful, worn out and in most deplora-
bic condition.
They had proceeded up the river for
about two miles, when they were swept
down by a sudden flow of water which
went on it's way roaring and Surging
against the sides of the cave, carrying
their frai1 boat with it, daShing it
against the sides and whirling it on
ward with its mighty force until they
were exhausted by endeavoring to keep
it away from dangerous whirlpOols,
side currents and projecting rocks. and
had reluctantly given up the unequal
struggle and lay in the bottom waiting
what seemed their inevitable destrue-
ton, when they felt their boat shoot
down steep falls. When it came to a
standstill in what seemed to be a large
pool into which the water was pouring
and apparently rising rapidly until at
the expiration of about "a hours the
flow gradually decreased, and they felt
the boat drawn out by the current into
the main stream, from where they
made their way as best they could to
the mouth of the cave, and were con-
veyed to their homes by awaiting
friends.
They have seen no sign of the explor-
ers, and are in such an exhausted con-
dition that no further intelligence can
be derived from them.

AN APACHE HARVARD.
The Young Indian Has Distinguished
Himself as an Indian War Cor
RESPONDENT.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 21.-Harvard
University is soon to attain the distinc-
tion which Holy Cross college but few
years ago was proud of-namely, to
welcome within it's walls a full-bloOded
Indian as a student. Unlike that hon
or which the Worcester college has un-
dergone in the well-known Sockalexis,
Harvard will receive a pure -blooded
Chirracabua Apache in place of one
from the forests of Maine.
A dark, handsome man of about "a
years, tall and straight, and with phys
ical development that a trained athlete
might well envy, is Antoni Apache. AS
an example of the youths brilliancy, it
is said that while engaged as a scout
and a young boy he also essayed news
paper correspondence, and many of the
Eastern and Western newspapers at
the time published his reports of the
work executed by the federal troops
against the Indians.
At present the young Indian is en-
gagged by a Sportsmen's association in
securing the woods of Maine and Cana
da in search of game trappers, Indian
guides and hunters When this task
has been completed it is expected he
will enter Cambridge University.

Adelaide Herrmann's Dances an Elab-
Grafton of Miss Fuller's.


Two years ago Topeka people saw for
the last time Alexander Hermann, or
Hermann the Great as he was COM
monty called. A few days prior to the
date he was booked to appear in this
city last year he died suddenly in his
private car in Buffalo. Tonight they
will have an opportunity of seeing not
only his successor in the art of leger-
demain, but what is said to be his
equal in the person of his nephew, Leon
Hermann.
Leon Hermann is accompanied by
Adelaide Hermann, the widow of the
late Alexander, and together they pro-
vide a splendid evenings entertain
ment. Besides assisting the young
magician in his feats of magic, Madame
Hermann appears in a series of beau
tiful spectacular dances. OF this part
Chicago Inter-Ocean printed the fol-
lowing:
1T remained for Madame Hermann
to exploit one of the most dazzling SER
les of spectacular dances ever witness
ed on the local stage. These dances, ii
may be stated, are not to be regarded as
terpSichOrean tests, the dancer is
merely the graceful figure adroitly pos
ing as the focal point for play of light.
The electric appliances used in this act
were of the most modern and complica-
ted character, and were all concealed
on, above, or below the stage, and
furnished most beautiful and fascinat-
ing results, artistically, in form and
color. The Vesuvian dance, with steam
effects, was startling in its way, and
the others were singularly beautiful in
blending of color on skillfully disposed

Weather observers from over the

Mr.. Jennings has issued the following
invitation which has been sent to every

THE second annual Fall Festival will

Undoubtedly many of our voluntary

and we hope every one that does will
feel free to make the weather bureau
office his headquarters. The weather
bureau office is in the Columbian build
ing on the fourth floor, room A on the

LONGSTREET TO GET AJOB
Will be Made Railroad Commissioner
as He Expected.

Washington, Sept. 21-Georgia Re
publicans here say that it is pretty well
settled that General Longstreet will be
appointed railroad commissioner to
succeed General Hampton some time
next month; at any rate, by the 1st of
November.
1t is said that General Hampton is
engaged in the preparation of his an
nual report This must be submitted
10 Secretary Bliss by the 1St of NOVeTn-
ber- 1t may be done before. 1t is not
desired, it is thought, to disturb Cen
eral Hampton until he has reported.
In connection with the report recently
circulated that the office of commits
sioner of railroads is to be abolished
Secretary of the Interior Bliss says
there is no foundation for such an i'm
preston. The Office was created by
congress, and, therefore, legislative ac-
ton is necessary to abolish it. Such
action would hardly be taken without
the recommendation of the administra-
ton. and judging from the past record
of the Republican party it is not given
TO abOhshing public offices.
1t is disposed to create additional Off
ces wherever the slightest prospect is
offered Secretary Bliss is in no hurry
to disturb General Hampton.

Ditch Between Lakes Michigan and

New York Sept. PA. Stewart Ap-

has alighted in New York with a budg-
ct of surprising projects. He is close
to the innermost sanctuary of the shin
ing lights of theosophy.
He is promoting a ship canal to be
run from Lake Michigan to Lake Erie
1t is an old scheme galvanized to life by
Appleton's magic touch. Mr.. Appleton
is just now giving part of his time to
the Michigan ship canal. From a great
ditch, to cost $50 200, 900, he has reduced
it to a very practical ditch to cost $4,-
,OOO
Mr.. Appleton will ask congress to or
der a new survey, the old survey hav-
ing been made in 1851. He knows q few
things about legislation at Washington
but he has found interest and indorse-
ment from sound business heads.
