Of the Southern States, however, cannot fail to
produce the same scandals IL adopted now in the

MANY SEEK CADETsHIPs.
The War Department Flooded With
Applications.

The War Department Flooded With
Applications.
Many applications for appointment to
cadetships are being received at the War
Department in anticipation Of the pas
sage of the Army Reorganization bill. As
the bill makes provision for but 100 sd-
ditional cadetships the number Of appli-
cants is out Of all proportion to the
opportunities. The Department states
that it would be impossible to ar
range for the reception Of all the addi-
tional cadets at the Academy during the
present year, but should the bill pass
they will be allowed to appear at the ex-
aminations in September.
1t is held that the act will give each
Senator an opportunity to name candt-
date for cadetship. but it is probable
that the entire number will not be named
at once. Instead the choice is likely to
be extended over two years. the senior
Senator to have first choice.

A Leading Spirit in the Minera
Development Of this County

Mr.. VIM. Lowery, of Salem, was
in town Saturday. He has great
faith in the outcome of the min
eral developments now going on i'll
Crittenden and Livingston cour-
ties, and has perhaps done more
than any other man to induce cap
ital to this section for investiga-
ton and development. He helped
to organize the Eagle Fluor Spar
Co., some two or more years ago,
and now this company, composed
chiefly of West Virginia capitalists,
own valuable mines and has invest
ed largely in mining plants. Mr..
Lowery has options on a large area
of spar lands in the two counties
and quite number of these he has
recently transferred to mining COM
panies which are preparing to open
up mines. He is in correspon-
dence with other parties and ex-
poets to bring in more capital. He
is thoroughly conversant with the
location of all the best veins and is
actively at work to interest CAPT
talists in them, and we are glad to
note that he is meeting with lar
ge measure of success. He is n
valuable man to the country and
to capital seeking investments Of
this kind.

The Flood Mt DnIIns-

DALLAS, Sept. 25.-The Trinity riv.
er is higher than it has been since 1890,
when it broke all records. The water
lacks only six feet of reaching the 1890
mark and is still rising. Owing to the
heavy rains Monday night on the Elm
Fork, the West Fork and the Clear Fork,
all of them emptying into the Trinity
river above Dallas, all are past the 1890
mark. No lives have been lost in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Dallas, but cotton and
live stock, notably sheep and hogs, have
suffered heavily. The county commission
ers of Dallas county estimate the loss in
the county at $4,000 Independent of the
numerous small bridges and the street
damages in the city of Dallas, which will
be nearly as much. The item of damage
to roads and bridges alone in the dozen
or more counties affected in northern
Texas will be about $250,000.

Dowieite Elders Mobbed.

MANSFIELD, O., Sept. PA mob
formed here yesterday, and the Dowie-
ite elders, Ephraim Bassinger of Bluff
ton and Silas Moot of Lima, were its vic
tins. The two elders came in on an
Erie train unknown to the authorities.
They were recognized by a small crowd
at the depot, which refused to let them
enter a cab, then followed them up the
street and surrounded them near the cen
ter of the city. They were then taken by
the mob to the Richland Buggy works,
where Bassinger disrobed, but the crowd
tore Moot's clothing from his body, as he
refused to disrobe himself. A paint
bucket and brush were then secured
and a smokestack varnish, a tarlike sub
stance, was daubed over them from head
to foot. 1t was matted in their hair, and
no part of their bodies escaped but their
faces. Their bodies were then partially
covered with their clothing, and the ED
ers were marched to the home of e. H.
Leiby, a Zion follower here, who was
driven out of the city last week. There
they promised not to return to Mansfield
but later they said they agreed not to re-
turn unless Overseer Piper ordered them
to come. They were then marched to
the city prison and locked up. By appli-
cations of lard and benzine the black
varnish was cut, and after new outfits
of clothing were furnished they were de-
ported on a Pennsylvania train at noon.

warning notices that the most terrific
food in the history of the Colorado riv-

warning from Representative Clements:
Notify all towns on Colorado river
and have towns notify country points
that river is ten feet higher than ever
before known and is still rapidly rising.
Very urgent"

tersheds very heavy rains have fallen
during the past four days, and the rise
reported coming down now is 20 feet
higher than the one that broke the Aus

power plant last April. 1t is expected
that the advance of this great rise will
sweep by Austin about midnight, and all
parties in the lowlands to the south OF
the city and all points reached by either
telegraph or telephone were communicat

FREAK OF DAN CUPID.
Girl Who Can't Speak German WEEDS
a Man Who Knows No
English.

There are descendants of Germans
In Berks county, Pa, who do not I'M
} derstand word of English, although
they have lived in this country all
their lives. One of these is Jacob
Weinsheimer, who owns what he calls
the Castle of Lobenstein, on the east
ern slope of Mount Penn, says an east
ern exchange. Until recently he lived
the life of hermit. The hillside lead
ing to Lobenstein is so steep that it
is impossible to use the ordinary
American farming implements drawn
by horses. Weinsheimer's principal
implement is the kind used in very
hilly portions of Germany. He calls
it Fkarst." 1t is shaped like big
horseshoe fastened to a wooden ham
die. With this he digs and stirs up
the earth instead of blowing and har-
rowing it. He also has numerous 9TH
er small hand implements. With these
he raises large quantities of vege-
tables, wheat, rye, barley, corn, sugar
cane, sweet potatoes and grapes. He
reaps his grain with a sickle and
threshes it with mallet
Cupid's dart pierced the heart of the
'ecluse a short time ago. He was
working for a farmer on the hills in
the neighborhood, when he was intro
duced to a Miss March, from Ohio
She was some 20 years younger than
he, but that made no difference. The
love-making was slow, for the woman
could not speak German and he was
unable to speak English. But the
language of love finally made itself
between them. He pro-
posed, was accepted, and now a hap
pier couple than Mr.. and Mrs. Vein
sheimer would be hard to find.
Weinsheimer is great admirer of
pets, such as dogs and cats. He is the
owner of black fox terrier which he
says he would not part with for 500
in gold. He is perfect terror to the
snakes and has killed more than 1900
copperhead and blacksnakes during
the last five years.

WAGE SCALE SIGNED.
Iron and Steel Mills to Resume Oh.
eratiOns.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.-The confer
ence committees of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION Of Iron and Steel Workers and
of the manufacturers after an all nigh
conference signed the wage scale thai
will be effective until July, 1901.
1t is what is known as the yearly
scale, which takes effect usually in July
Owing to the unusual fluctuations of the
market the new scale had not beer
signed when the mills shut down June
30, and the conditions have been unfa
vorable ever since June, so that the mills
have been idle for almost three months
As soon as the scale was signed mes
sages were sent in every direction be
fore the conferees breakfasted. Somt
mills started this morning, and all 9th
ers will resume as soon as possible. Thi,
decision means employment to over go,
900 workmen who have been idle since
June.
The reasons for the delay in adjustin
the wage scale as well as for the FIRE.
quent prolonged conferences are found
in the slump in the market and the huc'
tuations during the past year from the
highest to the lowest price. The work
ers wanted So per ton, based on l All
card rate. The manufacturers offered
$3.50 per ton on 1 cent card rate fol
boiling, and the differences were in about
the same proportion in other lines.
