About Those Brick.

In speaking Of Senator Tillman's ar
rival in Columbia from his trip to Cuba
the Columbia State says the Senator
vas looking rather tired and not com
munieative. He was waiting for the
train to come so that he could ask the
secretary Of war to send the Second
regiment to Columbia. However the
newspaper man could not refrain from
asking:
Senator, have you been keeping in
touch with the penitentiary investiga-
tion?"
"No, l haven't seen the papers much
lately" he replied.
well, l suppose you have heard
about that carload of brick they say
you got?''

it, but will have to wait until | get

great volume Of water and tons of dirt
and debris in manganese mine nine
miles from Gainesville, Ca, where they
met death by being mashed and smother
de by the great mass above where they
were working caving in on them. The

The mine is on the Canton road and is
known as the Clumber Hill mine. It
has recently been leased by Messrs.
White & McEver and worked with a
force Of from three to Eve hands. It
may take several days to recover the
bodies of the men, as the water in the
shaft is 50 feet deep and will have to
be pumped out before other work to-
ward rescuiug them can proceed.

Fatal College Eazing.

James 7. Mount, the victim Of the
hazing at the Chicago College Of Dental
Surgery. is dead. Friends and rela-
tives of Mount at Petersburg, Ind, his
home, will begin at once to prosecute
the students who are said to be response
bic for his death Mount was rela-
tive of Governor Mount, Of Indiana.
When it was discovered that Mount
had been injured seriouly by hazing
last Wednesday, he was taken to the
Presbyterian hospital for treatment.
He had apparently recovered sufficient
ly Thursday morning to justify the
hospital authorities in allo.7ing him to
90 to his home. On the way home he
become suddenly i'll on the train and
died before he reached his destination.
Mounts death was due to internal in
juries caused by being ''passed up" in
the dental college amphitheatre and
then passed down. by his fellow stu
dents. Passing" consists in pulling a
student over the backs Of the seats to
the top tier and then down again.
Mount, it is said, was thrown heavily to
the floor when passed down.

a Remarkable Incident.

\ remarkable incident in connection
with the Seventh Day Adventist con-
ference now in session at Battle Greek,
Mich, is being related. Among those
in attendance is Elder +. H. Westrhal,
who has charge Of their mission in Bue-
nos Ayres, South America He came
from Southampton on the Hamburg
Line because it was the cheapest, and
met on board ship Capt. Norman, re-
ported to be several times millionaire
The captain became interested in the
Adventist faith and cane to the meet
ings here. AS climax he has given
the muniicent sum of S4GO, 600. The
Adventists believe that the coming Of
Elder Westphal when he could not
really afford the expense and meeting

Starvation in Russia.

The newspapers Of St. Petersburg,
Russia, published pitiable accounts OF
the so. called famine districts Of Russia,
especially Samara, in the eastern part
Of European Russia. The efforts of the
Red Cross society have STAYED of the
horrors of actual starvation, but the so
ciety's funds are almost exhausted, and
the dire distress, compelling the con-
sumption of all kinds Of garbage, has
produced an epidemic Of terrible NOR
tality, with typhus, scurvy and other
pestilential diseases. The peasants are
compelled to sell everything, and are
living in cold, damp and filthy cabins.
Weakened by hunger, they fall ready
victims of typhus and acute scurvy.
Unless the government gives prompt
aid, the provinces appear doomed to a
repetition of the horrors of 1891 and
1902

BRYAN'S IDEAS.
He Will Talk Of the Party Policy IN
the Next Campaign.

the Next Campaign.
The Jefferson banquet Of the Chica-
90 Platform Democrats Of New York
will take place on the night Of April IS.
Col. ". j. Bryan has given positive
assurances that he will be present. 1t
is expected that he will make notable
speech stating the stand which he be-
lieves the Democratic party should take
in the national campaign of next year.
1t is planned to have the labor unions
take very prominent part IN the dln-
ner.
Eugene V. Brewster, who is manag-
ing the Bryan dinner, said: Some
confusion has arisen over the name Of
the dinner. 1t was decided at first not
to call it dinner of Chicago Platfor"
Democrats because Of Gov. Pingree
and others who are Republicans. We
arranged that matter in committee all
right, however, and sent the invitation
in the name of the Chicago platform
people.
I'VE have such financial backing
that we will be able to give dollar
dinner such as has never been held be-
fore Applications have come fr'm
places in Florida, from Duluth and
from Bosom. I wired to the Grand
Central palace as soon as heard from
Mr.. Bryan Wednesday night and en-
gagged 1t.
Because of the confusion no invita-
tions were sent to anybody but Mr..
Bryan. We have learned, however,
from Gov. Pingree, Mr.. Aitgeld and
Chairman Jones that they would come
any day after April Is. ,
Richard Croker said: Il don't care
to say anything about Mr.. Bryan's let,
ter Of declination. I am sorry he can
not understand difference Of opinion.
AS to the fact that he will go to the
one dollar dinner-well, l hope he will
help the cause Of Democracy. The
more big dinners there are in New York
the better for the working people.
The promoters Of the Bryan dinner take
it for granted that Gov. Pingrce will be
one Of the guests. Ex-senator Cor.
man, it is understood, will attend the
! Croker banquet.

ABDUCTEDCHILD FOUND.
An Interesting Sequel to Crime Com
mitted Last May.

\ startling sequel to the abduction
of Gerald Lapiner, the three-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Lapiner,
which occurred in Chicago May 30,
1898, developed at Panesville, o., on
Tuesday Of last week, in the recovery
and restoration of the child to his moth
er, and the arrest of Mrs. Ann Inger-
soil and John G. Collins, who live
about mile west Of PainesVille, at
whose place the child was found and
where he had been keptsince last June.
On May 80 Gerald Lapiner was abduct-
cd by a mysterious woman from in iron:
Of his parents home, 1885 Prairie ave-
nue., Chicago. The woman and child
were traced for short time and then all
track Of them was lost. A large reward
was offered for the recovery Of the child
and although the Chicago police made
every effort to bring the kidnappers to
justice, nothing further could be learn
ed. Two months ago newspaper ac-
count of the abduction and the reward
offered came under the notice Of Mr.. T.
Z. Ferris, and his sister, Miss .: 9.
Ferris, neighbors of the Ingersolls. Mr..
and Miss Ferris suspected that the lit
tie boy who had been at the residence
of Mrs. Ingersoll since last June might
be the missing child, and they entered
into correspondence with the Chicago
police. After about two months inves-
tigation and correspondence, it was de-
termined that the child was the miss
ing Gerald Lapiner Mrs. Lapiner was
not satisfied and arrived at PanesVille
Wednesday morning. She was met at
the station by Deputy Sheriff A: I.
May, who has been in charge Of the
case and was taken to the lngersoll
place, while Sheriff St. John went on
ahead to prevent the escape Of the ab-
ductors. Access to the house was
gained through the rear door, and
there, tied in high chair, half dress
ed, the boy vas found. Both Mrs. In
gersoll and Collins were placed under
arrest. Mrs. Ingersoll denies the
charge of abduction and could not be in
duced to say nothing about the case.

Left them Destitute.

The twenty-seven colored families
numbering lO4 persons in all, who are
stranded in Jersey City after having
come from the west to 60 to Liberia, as
is alleged, under contract with the
International Migration society, were
notified Wednesday by the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey that they would
have to leave the railroad cars in which
they have remained since their arrival
in Jersey City. 1t is claimed that
the International Migration society
promised to send these people to Libe-
ria, and that they have failed to carry
out their promise. Most Of them are
destitute and their condition is pltiable.

ON 4 LARGE SCALE.
How Big Profits Are Made at
Wholesale Farming.
SOME BALANCE SHEETS
Showing the Receipts and Ex-
penses Of Immense Wheat
and Corn arms in Iowa
and Dahnfa
and Dakota.

The following special article was pre-
pared by Mr.. Frank Spcarman for the
Review Of Reviews:
We know what the railroads DID last
year; we know what the manufacturers
diG; we know what the merchants did.
In year, then, like 1898, when re-
cords in so many branches Of American
industry were smashed, what did the
American farmer do?
Balance sheets are unhappily scarce
among farmers: the feE wi.ich are ia ken
are hard to get at; for these reasons the
one here presented is Of especial inter
est. 1t is not from a paper farm: 1t IS
not paper balance; nor is it 4 paper
farmer who makes this showing. 1t IS
what no American review has ever be-
fore presented to its readers-an actual
glimpse at the books and workings Of a
model American farm. This farm, 10
Gated in the State Of Iowa, contains
S 900 acres and its business is to pro-
ducc corn.
Look first at the investment and note
that the land was not bought in an
early day for song, but within three
Years and at the market price.

For the wheat farm 1898 was an aver
age year, the yield being IS bIshels per
acre and the price an averag" price. 1t
has produced for its owner seventeen
successive crops, one OF which alone
netted him 81, 900.
The two expense accounts show curl.
Gus differences. In Iowa men are hired
for the entire crop season OF eight
months at SIS and board per month.
In Dakota they are hired for the actual
seeding in the spring and the harvest
in. the fall at from $l.3C to 50 per day.
Ia the end the laoor, or money-wage
account, is about the same thing, as will
be seen; but the house supply account
is much heavier or the corn farm.
On the corn farm the item Of repairs
was nominal, the plant, under present
ownership being new, while the items
of repairs and machines on the wheat
farm represent the average annual eX-
pcnditure Tor replacing md keeping up
the machinery Twinc is naturally the
larger item on the wheat farm. The
Iowa farm supplies its own fuel. On
the Dakota farm coal is required.
Here, TOO. note that the corn farm Is
planted with 600 bushels Of corn, cost
ing $3.50, while to seed the wheat farm
requires 5000 bushels Of wheat, worth
in 1898 IS. 600. Again in Dakota five
hundred acres Of oats barely feeds the
100 head Of mules, while in Iowa 2oO
acres Of corn feeds the same number
easily. These differences, together
with the seed difference and the tTlne
difference. sometimes handicap the

A SPLENDID SUCCESS
The Episcopal Entertainment Both
 Pleasant and Profitable.

The festival and ball given by the Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal church at the Savage hall was all that could be expected in way of entertainment.
 The ladies commenced serving ice cream and other dellcacies at about 8 o'clock, and long before the enter tainment closed the refreshments pre- pared had been sold.
 At about 9 o'clock the dance was started and the merry crowd kept step with good music until a late hour, A great many of Mena's society people enjoyed the refreshments who did not dance and they were entertained in the lodge room at the front of the building.
 Besides being a success socially, the affair was very profitable one, good sum being realized by the ladies in charge, which will be used for the benefit of the church. The ladies of the Guild are untiring in their efforts to entertain and the people always enjoy their entertainments.

NEW P & 6 RECEIVERS.
WEBSTER WITHERS AND S. w.
 FORDYcE THE MEN.
RobeIt Gillham, Manager-State Re ceivership Discussed-The Road
 in the Governments Charge.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 2S.-What is practically compromise was the re suit of the hearing of the Pittsburg & Gulf receivership case before Judge Thayer in the federal court, Thursday. The motion to remand the case to the Jackson county circuit court was with drawn by the attorneys for the re ceivers, and the whole question was left in the hands of the fed. eral court, and Webster Withers ot this city and $. w, Fordyce of St. Louis were named as the new receiv- CTS of The Kansas City, Pittsburg X Gulf railway. The court ordered that Robert Gillham be retained as general manager of the road.
 Webster Withers is well known in Kansas City, having lived here for many years. He was collector of in- ternal revenue during President Cleve- lands second administration.
 $. w. Fordyce was formerly presi- dent and twice receiver of the Cotton Belt railroad.
 Mir. Gillham had the endorc ement for receiver of all the bondholders, the trustees and both reorganized com mltteeS.
 Immediately after the federal court convened to-day, J. McD. Trim e, general councelor for the 2ittsburg & Gulf, made few vital movements in the receivership case, which were sur prislng to those not ou the inside. First he resigned as one of the receiv- CTS of the road, next he withdrew the motion to have the case remanded to the state court, and then he dismissed the suit in the state court by vertue of which Judge Gibson named Robert Gillham, E. l.. Martin and J. McD Trimble as receivers of the Pittsburg & Gulf. The last move nulli6ed the action of Judge Gibson and left the case in the hands of the two federal judges to appoint whom they pleased as receivers The suit of the State Trnst company of New York to fore close the 23 million mortgage still stands on the federal court docket.

Captivating Eloquence.

Booker T. Washington's recent ad- dress before an exclusive white mems club" at Birmingham, Ala, captivated the hearers. Says the Birmingham News. For an hour and half the speaker held the audience, and held it well. His wit was at times superbly brilliant. He received more applause than any speaker who has been in Bir- mingham in years. The force of truth was in him, and there is the secret of his power. ."-Kansas City Journal
