A SURRENDERED FLAG
Which Had Been Held by CspfoT s
for Generation.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 5.-Another link
in the chain joining those who wore
the gray with those who wore the
blue was forged today in the return of
the battle flag of Terry's Texas Rang
ers by the survivors of the Seventeenth
Indiana regiment of Wilder's brigade,
by whom it was captured more than a
third Of century ago. Ever since the
close of the war the flag has been in
the war museum of the state of In
diana
The presentation of the flag took
place at the state fair grounds today
in the presence of an immense crowd
that included many union and con-
federate veterans. The address of well
come was made by Mayor John H
Traylor and the presentation of the
flag by Governor Mount of Indiana
In presenting the flag Governor
Mount said that the return of the flag
had been approved generally by the
people of Indiana. Governor Sayers
delivered a warm address in response
to that of Governor Mount.
Colonel ]. l. Weller, formerly a resi-
dent of Indiana, and who captured the
emblem, received the flag from Cover
nor Sayers and in turn presented it to
the survivors of the famous troop of
Rangers. Addresses were also made by
Commander Dunlap of the Indiana G.
A. R. and by the heads of the local
camps of Confederate veterans. The
flag is in very dilapidated condition
and much worn from the ravages of
time

FIND A NEW KLONDYKE
Region Tha Is Even Richer Than
she Yukon District.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Oct. 5.-The
Times publishes a letter from a cor
respondent at Fort Francis, Ont, un-
der date of September 20, which says:
''Ungavaland, a region as desolate
and unknown as the Klondyke was
four years ago, has just been penetrat-
ed by party OF pTcSpectors, headed by
newspaper man of this region and
consisting for the most part OF men
representing wealthy Boston syndi-
cate. From their reports and from
statements made by members of the
Canadian geological survey, whom
they found in that region, they have
run into new Klondyke, and one
richer in diversified minerals, of
larger extent and easy to reach, com
pared to the ice deserts of the Yu-
kon.'
About a year ago J. A. Osborne, edi-
tor of a newspaper OF this region, be-
came possessor of a diary that had
been the records of an old employee of
the Hudson Bay company. He was
astonished to find it told circumstan-

CHANGE IN PLANS
But Four Good Vessels Will
Be Sent TO MdniIo.
In Place of the GunboafS Marietta
and MsChiaS The Nashville and
Badger Will Accompany the
Brooklyn and New Orleans

Washington, Oct 5.-The navy de-
partment was busily engaged today in
arranging to reinforce the fleet in the
Philippines as suggested yesterday by
Admiral Dewey at his conference with
the president. 1t was found that
the plan conceived last evening, OF
sending the Marietta and the Mechias
with the Brooklyn would have to be
modified so as to drop the two gun
beats. By noon the department had
completed its programme and was in a
position to send orders to the ships
chosen to go. The New Orleans was
first telegraphed to proceed to the
New York navy yard to have some
changes made in her galley apparatus.
The Brooklyn will be turned back from
Hampton Reads and sent to New York,
whence she sailed this morning before
the department could reach her with
orders. She will be ready to sail by
the end 0f the next week.
"A cablegram was sent to the Nash
vile at Santo Domingo to proceed at
once to Manila via Suez, and she is ex-
pected to get out within twenty -four
hours. Orders were also telegraphed
to the Badger at Mare Island to pro-
ceed to the Philippines as soon as pos
.sVble. No orders have as yet been
sent to the Bancroft at Boston.

Persons and SuiCided.

Kosse, Tex, Oct. 5.-Early this
morning at Stranger, seven miles west
of Kosse, William Mckinney shot and
killed his wife, then went to the store
and had a duel with Paul Norman, in
which Norman was badly wounded; he
then went to an old outhouse one hun
dred yards away and blew his own
brains cut. He had had some trouble
with young Norman some time since.
but it was thought to be all settled
Why he killed his wife is mystery to
all; the supposition is he was de-
mented. He was probably 65 years of
age and his good wife was perhaps
So. 1t is a sad and deplorable affair
Young Norman was a most exem-
plary young man; had been married
only about six weeks. McKinney's fam

the country; his sons are bright busi-
ness men and one Of his daughters is
the Sam Houston normal at

Shamrock's stern. At 11:21 the yachts
were On even terms.
At 40 the yachts were three miles

At 12:1 IA p. m. the Shamrock was ap-

At 1920 p. m. the Columbia was

From 1920 to 1880 the Columbia in

At 1:4S the wind became very light

At 2:25 the yachts had covered two
thirds of the course, the Columbia be
ing one mile ahead.
The yachts caught a light breeze and
seemed to be about a hundred yards
apart.
At 3:O1 the fog had lifted and the
Columbia appeared to lead by a quar-

will be a race.
At 3:13 the two racers were about
six miles from finish. The race was
very close. The Shamrock was trife

At 3:17 the stern beat had pulled up,

At 3:21 there was apparently a half

At 4:02 both yachts took in their

Hogs ProntabIe i'm the south.

Up to within ten years, fully 80 per cent
of all the pork consumed In the South was
brought from Northern packing centers in
Kansas City, Chicago and Cincinnati, says
the Agriculturist. Very little thought was
given to its production In the Southern
States. When it is remembered that South
erners consumed more pounds of pork than
all other meats combined, it can easily be
seen that this item of food is a costly one.
OF late years Southerners are beginning
to realize that they can raise their own
pork. The great obstacle at first was the
fact that Indian corn was considered an
absolute necessity in feeding hogs. 1t has
been found. however, that there are a va
riety of other foods easily grown in the
South, which make most excellent food
5. NJ. Tracy, in farmers bulletin 100 calls
attention to these facts and shows that
cowpeas, sweet potatoes peanuts, chufas,
cassava, crimson clover, artichokes, can all
be grown i'm sufficient quantities to fatten
all the hogs necessary for Southern con-
sumption. OF course corn can be grown in
fair quantities in some sections of the
South. and can be used profitably in feed
ing young pigs and finishing fat hogs
Shorts and bran may also be used with
profit for growing stock, provided they can
be had for $50 per ton or less. Crimson
4,
where the soil is rich enough can easily
be raised for winter pasture along the
South Atlantic coast and some sections of
Florida, but is not universally satisfactory
west of Georgia.
1t will not pay to raise anything but
good hogs The razor backs of the South
must be discarded and some of the blooded
Poland-Chinas, Berkshires, Durocs, Ches-
ter Whites, ETC., selected. The difference
in breed is not of Importance. 1t is often
desirable. however, to grade up the native
herds. and while 1t takes longer in this
way to get a profitable herd. II is possibly
the better method, as the pative stock has
great vigor. while the pure-blooded ances-
tors will supply the early-maturlng and
other high-class qualities. Pure-blooded
hogs are to be preferred in the long run,
but are not at all necessary for the pro-
ductlon of frst-class pork-producing
stock.
For successful hograising almost any To-
cality that viii produce an abundant sup
ply of food, and where good water is OBJ
ta.nable will be satisfactory. Springs and
small. rum ng streams are excellent for
supplying water but large streams and
stagnant pools must not be tolerated No
