over an outlet to the Upper Nile coun-
try have been Unexpectedly increased
by official advices to the foreign office
received from Khartum.
Both the British and French flags are
now flying upon the banks of the
Bahr-el-Ghazal river, and it Is a ques-
ton which of the two nations will
withdraw from this much coveted strip
in the dark continent.
The advices from Khartum to the
foreign office state that two British
gunboats sailed up the Bahr-el-GhazaI
as far as Meshra-er-Rak, where they
found military post with the French
flag flying. The gunboat returned to
Sobat, but hoisted the British flag at
several points along the river.
Lord Kitchener, conversing yester-
day with a circle OF professors at
Cambridge, after receiving the degree

chased from one Denver firm, that OF
Dake & Keller, to whom Gillet is said
10 have given a mortgage of $20S 900.
These cattle are three-year-old steers.
and cattlemen assert a low estimate of
their present value is $50 a head. or
about $40 . head more than the inter-
est in the cattle held by the Denver
firm. Another lot of cattle is about
$500 head, which Gillet and another
dealer own in Oklahoma These cattle
are said to be mortgaged for $I25, 600
and are said TO be worth a third more
than the amount against them.
a remarkable thing about Gnlets
methods of doing business was that he
kept no books, and took no one into
his confidence. All the details of his
enormous deals were carried in his
head. and this complicates matters.
Gillet is described as a careless finan-
cier, and those who know him best now
say that sheer luck carried him
through many Of his heaviest deals.
Many local stockmen declare that he
would not run away, even If he knew
his debts would wipe out his herds and
ranches, because he believes that luck
will always attend him. Nevertheless,
there was talk today that he had mort
gagged much of his cattle twice and
left TO avoid arrest.
THE FATAL DEAL.
The deal that carried GiHet to the
wall was $125,000 loan held by a Kan
sas City live stock firm The money
was advanced to him on $500 head of
feeding cattle in Oklahoma, and the
mortgage fell due last week The Kan
sas City firm declined to extend the
loan. Gillet tried hard to get money,
but, for the first time in his career, he
was unable to get backing. Close upon
the heels of that came a deal that he
had made with Vane & Gates, the
Arizona cattle magnates. Gillet had
paid 900 as earnest money on 1000
head Of cattle in the Pan Handle of
Texas, which Vane a Gates owned in
the famous IA" ranch. These cattle
were worth $1,000 and Gillet was un-
able to raise the money to take them.
He saw his $4,000 go TO buy liability
for the loss TO Vane & Gates.
AS soon as il was learned here that
Gillet was being pressed by one or two
of his creditors, others sent their rep
resentatives TO his ranch to protect
their loans. Meanwhile, the plunger
took his leave. Eastern holders of
Gillet's paper. which had passed
through the hands of the Kansas City
firms, began telegraphing, and today
few of the Kansas City houses are try
ing to sell live stock paper.
NOVEL METHODS.
Gillet's methods of operation were
novel. Gillet would buy cattle in big
punches, as many as 5000 in a bunch,
with borrowed money, secured by a
mortgage on the cattle, and would ship
them TO his Woodbine. Kan. ranch
and sell them in small lots TO feeders,
taking their notes. When these notes
were paid he would settle with the
commission men, from whom he bor-
rowed. The commission men would
receive from Gillet and 10 per cent
for their loans. They would sell the
paper TO bankers and others all over
the East and West, at and per cent
interest on their loans. II was these
enormous profits which made the COM

THE EXPLOSION.
The Horrible Scenes Following the Blow
ing Up of the Maine.

At 40 minutes past 9 on the even
ing of the 18th of February, the Maine
was destroyed by an explosion, by
which the entire forward part of the
ship was utterly wrecked. In this
catastrophe two officers and 264 of
her crew perished, those who were
not killed outright by her explosion
being penned between decks by the
tangle of wreckage and drowned by
the immediate sinking of the hull.
Prompt assistance was rendered by
the neighboring vessels anchored in
the harbor. aid being especially given
by the boats of the Spanish cruiser
Alphonso XII. and the Ward line
steamer City of Washington, which
lay not far distant.
The wounded were generously cared
for by the authorities of Havana. the
hospitals being freely opened to them,
while the earliest recovered bodies of
the dead were inferred by the muni-
cipality in apublic cemetery in the
city. Tribut-s of grief and sympthy
were offered from all official quarters
of the island.
The appalling calamity fell upon the
people of our country with crushing
force, and for a brief time an intense
excitement prevailed, which in com
munity less just and self-controlled
than ours might have led to hasty acts
of blind resentment.
This spirit, however, soon gave way
to the calmer processes of reason and
to the resolve to investigate the facts
and await material proofs before
forming judgment as to the cause.

warranted, the remedy due.
This course necessarily recommends

The usual procedure was followed
as in all cases of casualty to disaster
to national vessels of any maritime
state. A naval court of inquiry was at
once organized, composed of officers
well qualified by rank and practical
experience to discharge the onerous
duty imposed upon them.
Aided by Il strong force CT wrcckcrs
and divers, the court proceeded to
make Il thorough investigation on the
spot, employing every available means

pursued, no source of information was

Learn More Trades.

1t may sound little startling, but
it is said to be true that more young
men are learning trades in peniten-
tiaries than outside OF them, because
the parents are trying to make clerks,
doctors, lawyers, and even preachers
out of material intended for black
smiths, carpenters, and other trades
for mechanics. The trouble is that
boys are too eager to avoid the labor
of life, and too anxious to follow some
calling that does not soil their hands.
And the parent is responsible for this.
Boys should be taught that there is
more dignity in manuel labor than in
loating, and more honor in toll than in
independence. The farm and the shop
often yield more profit than the office
or counter.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
His Communication to Congress Recap
itulation of the Court of In



ituation of the Court of In
quiry's Report.
WASHINGTON. March 29-'Ihe pres
ident sent the following message to
congress-:
To the Congress of the United States:
For some time prior to the visit of
the Maine to Havana harbor, our con
sular representatives pointed out the
advantages to flow from the visit of
national ships to the Cuban waters, in
accustoming the people to the pres
ence of our flag as the symbol of good
will and of our ships in the fiulfillment
of the mission of protection to Ameri-
can interests, even though no inn
mediate need therefor might exist.
Accordingly, on the oath of January
last, after conference with the Span
ish minister, in which the renewal of
visits of our war vessels to Spanish
waters was discussed and accepted,
the Peninsular authorities at Madrid
and Havana were advised of the pur-
pose of this government to resume
friendly naval visits at Cuban ports,
and that in that view the Maine would
forthwith call at the port of Havana.
This announcement was received by
the Spanish government with appre-
citation of the friendly character of the
visit of the Maine, and with notitica
tion of intention to return the court
esy by sending Spanish ships to the
principal ports of the United States.
Meanwhile the Maine entered the
port of Havana on the 25th of Janu-
AIRY, her arrival beng marked with no
special incident besides the exchange

visits.
The Maine continued in the harbor
of Havana during the three weeks
following her arrival. No appreci-
able excitement attended her stay; on
the contrary, a feeling of relief and
confidence followed the resumption of
the long interrupted friendly inter
course.
So noticeable was this immediate
effect of her visit that the consul gen
eral strongly urged that the presence
of our ships in Cuban waters should
be kept up by retaining the Maine at
Havana. or in the event of her recall
by sending another vessel there to
take her place.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urin and let it stand twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys
When urin stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also a convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urin and scald-
ing pain in passing it,or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.
