HAD BUT a SINGLE DAUGHTER
Andthe Confectionery. Now Dead, VIII Have
M Other.


Reynolds. Ga. oct. General John
B. Gordon. commandments OF the
United Confederate Veterans. is at his
plantation near here resting. and at in
tervals pursuing his literary work The
general was shown the Associated Press
dispatch from Chicago in which Miss
Lucy Lee Hill is said to have had the
title. Daughter of the Confederaey,'
conferred upon her by her soTeheEn
friends since the death OF Winnie Davis.
The general was asked if the title could
be thus transferred. and answered with
earneStEess:
''EmphaticaHy no. Miss Winnie was
the only daughter of President Davis
horn in the Confederate White House
during the life of the Confederacy. AS
Jefferson Davis was the only president
of the Confederate government. no
daughter of any otherofficial could truly
represent the Confederacy. In the very
nature of the case no one except Miss
Winnie Davis Is entitled to be called
the Daughter of the Confederacy.'
THAT title was unique and peculiarly
her own, and is very properly to be
placed upon her tomb. To designate
any ore else by that title would be al
most d sacrnege. As with Jefferson
Davis passed the title of president of
the Cqnfederacy, so with Miss Winnie
has passed that of Daughter of the
Con eederacV'

Business Conditions

But There Is Nothing to GrumbIe Over in
Business Conditions.
New York. Oct 1-Bradstreet's says:
Though rather .quieter conditions are
reportable in a number of lines of trade
the volume of Business doing the coun-
try over is a very heavy one-sIightly
smaller. so far as bank cieaHngs would
indicate, than in September a year ago,
but comparing very favorably with cor
responding periods In all preceding
years While the edge appears to have
been taken off the active demand in the
west, northwest, and south rather bet
ter reports are received from the lead
ing eastern and middle state cities.
There has been continued heavy ex-
port movement Of leading cereals, un-
precedented activity in the manufac-
ture of nearly ell lines of iron and steel
and continued good reports as to gross
railway earnings.
Business failures for the third quar-
ter of 1898 were the fewest for at least
six years past, but because of one very
large failure in September the liabilities
are larger than ore year ago. For the
nine months period the total number OF
failures is $3.50, 10 per cent. fewer than
in 1897 and 81 per cent. smaller than in
1896. though 19 per cent. larger than in
1892 Liabilities involved aggregate S1O2.-
1877, So. Is per cent. smaller than last
year. 40 per cent smaller than in 1896
and 90 per cent. smaller than in 1891,
but 81 per cent. larger than in 1892.

Another Victim Near Rice Lalte-TerBible
Devastation All Around.
St Paul Mimi, Oct. IA Rice Lake,
Wis, special to the Pioneer Press says:
THE forest fires in this vicinity are
nearly abated but great damage has
been wrought for miles west Of this
city. Nels Nelson, a farmer living eight
miles west of this city, attempted to
save himself by going into his well. The
we'll house caught fire and his body was
found yesterday horribly burned. In
that locality teams hitched to wagons
could be found burned to death along
the road: the highways for miles are
literally covered with dead animals. The
fires seemed TO travel in great paths.
ranging from one-half mile to four
miles in width. The losses farther west
have been even GREATER than anywhere
in this vicinity. 1t is estimated that the
losses in Barron, Polk, Washburn and
Sawyer counties has been at least ST.
500, 600. Lumbermen northeast Of this
city have suffered heavy losses by the
fires.
ALFRED and James Johnson, Of the
johnson Bros. Lumber company, who
had mill and lumber yard about seven
miles west of this city. had a marrow
escape from being burned to death.
their mill and were unable to escape the
flames. They were very badly burned.
but viii recover. They lost their saw
mill, lumber yard and horses. Their
loss is about $1,000; no insurance. 1t is
not known whether any more lives were
lost.
Several people are missing, but only
one body has been found. People were
driven from their homes without saw

with nothing but the clothing they had
on Many women and children had mar
row escapes. Fully fifty farmers have
lost everything and are left destitute
in this vicinity. II is estimated that
fully 10000 tons Of hay, besides grain.
other products and farm machinery has
been destroyed. II is impossible TO get
full reports from the towns in the
burned district. as all telephone and tel
egraph wires are down. 1t is thought
that when reports are all il losses will
be much greater than reported"

FOREST FIRES IN COLORADO.
Bid Fair to Leave the Centennial state
without Timber.

Denver. Oct. 1.-Reports from the
western portion of the state continue to
tell of the ravaGes of the forest fires
which bid fair to devastate the greater
part of the forests OF the state. A spe-
cial from GIenwood Springs, the CEN
ter of the burning district, says: The
fires in the mountains near here have
taken fresh life, owing to high winds.
The sun was nearly obscured yesterday
and the atmosphere is heavy with
smoke.
The fire east of Glenwood Springs is
fortunately in an unsettled portion of
the county. and aside from the immense
loss by the burning of timber no loss
of life or other property has occurred
up to the present time. The stock on the
range as far as heard from has escaped

Hazing Was the BOYS Death.

Decatur. Ills. Oct. david c. Jones,
16 years old, died early Thursday morn
ing as the result of injuries received
while being hazed at the Opening of the
high school Sept. 6. 1t has been the
custom of the boys in the Deca sur high
school to put all the freshmen over the
fence the first day. This year there
was a lively fight as usual. Young
Jones received injuries to his back that
kept him from getting out of bed the
next day and he steadily grew worse.
