of Cattle With Fatal Effect.
Winthrop, Oct. 2.-As the second
section of Illinois Central freight train
No. 81 was pulling into this city about
q o'clock yesterday morning, it struck
q herd of cattle that were being driven
over the crossing, killing dozen of the
animals outright and injuring mnny
more. Portions of the engine were
badly sprung and broken. but aside
from a slight delay in removing some
of the carcasses from the track, little
damage was done the train.
The accident occurred at the first
crossing east of Winthrop and was
caused by the owners OF the cattle,
which were being driven to Winthrop
to ship. trying to get them across
ahead of the train. No. 81 is fast
freight and as engineer Yordy on en-
CINE 43 rounded the curve at about 80
miles an hour, he was powerless to
prevent the collision. There We're about
fifty head of cattle in the herd and
as soon as the beasts saw the trnin
bearing down upon them. they crowded
together and turned down the track.
The speed of the train threw those that
were on the track ahead of the engine
off to the side of the right of way. but
a few crowded against the side and
were caught under the wheels. The
train was stopped as soon as possible
and the dead cattle removed from near
the tracks. A few repairs were made
to the engine before the train proceeded
to Waterloo. The cattle We're ready
for market and belonged to a well to do

On cross.examination Sharp was
questioned in great detail by Capt.
Parker in regard to the entries in the
log Of the Brooklyn for the period COW
ering the Cuban campaign. He referred
to entries concerning the yixen's firing
upon locomotive engine on the shore
near Santiago, taking 1t for gunbos,t.
He ELECTED from the witness the state
ment that at the time the Vixen had not
been very near the shore. Sharp said
the result of the bombardment OF the
Colon had been to develop the Spanish
shore batteries and thtlt the position Of
the Vixen during the blockade was not
correctly given by the official chart. He
was nearer the shore than there shown.
Judge Advocate Lemle,t had the witness
compare the original copy Of HarioN's
notes with the copy printed on board
the Brooklyn, with the result of showing
that the notes had been changed before
being printed, so as to make the ac-
count say: .At 1905 two of the leading
ships OF the enemy bore well on the

smalIpox AMONG Indians.

ST. Paul, Mimi. Oct. 2.-sheriff Clag-
gett. of Mile Laos county, has reported
to the state board of health the serious
condition of affairs among the Indians
about Mile Lacs Lake. Smallpox is
prevalent. No attempt is made to regu-
late the disease and the local health au-
thorities are powerless. There are about
500 Chippewas suuatting on the shores
of Mile Laos. The village authorities
of Robins tried to keep the Indians from
circulating among the farmers and set
a guard over them. The braves turned
out in force, armed, and made such a
demonstration that the guards went
home, leaving the Indians to roam at
will. A clash between the settlers and
Indians is possible at any time.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The reports to

spread of the plague in most sections.
In British East India during the week
ended Aug. 2, last, there were 1922 new
plague cases, 1880 deaths being recorded
in the Bombay presidency, an increase
of more than 200 deaths over the previ-

in the city of Bombay that week, and
many others were suspected. In Egypt
the total number of bubonic plague
cases from April Z to Sept. was 1872,

BURNED TO DEATH.
Miss Eliza Fry, Employed at Mitchell-

Meets With Horrible Accident.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
Des Moines. Oct. 2.-Miss Eliza Fry,
matron of the sewing room at the Nit
chelville industrial school, was burned
to death last night. She had returned
home about p. m. and retired to her
room. AT 10 o'clock the watcher heard
a scream and saw light in her room,
and breaking in the door found Miss
Fry enveloped in flames. She never re-
covered consciousness and died this
morning. She was 20 years old. Her
parents lived in Corydon and she had
been an inmate of the institution, but
was paroled and given employment as
she wished to fit herself for institution
work and was very popular. 1t is not
known how she caught fire.

is no crime for one to go on strike at
that institution and seek exployement
elsewhere. One Thomas King Joined
with another of squad of eighty and
dropped into crevice in the rocks at
the stone quarry, where they remained
for two days hid and then departed quif
city. King was sentenced to year TO
breaking and escaping from the pen
tentiary. The supreme court holds th
the stone quarry is not the penlte
tiary and King didn't break anythi..~-
when he got away, hence was wrongly
convicted. Presumably If this is good
law the only way to keep the boys at
work at the Anamosa prison quarry is
to use moral suasion or apply that mod
ell prison discipline which is the boast of
the wardens and state officials.
The potato crop at the state farms
will not be as bad as anticipated. When
the superintendent reported last sum
mer that the drought had ruined all the
potatoes and that the board of control
would have to buy many thousand
bushels of potatoes this year, Mr.. Cow
ME, of the board, sent out circular let
ter asking the superintendent to follow
the plan of having the gardens cultfvat-
ed often. They were to be hoed and
plowed as often as possible right thru
the fall, using shallow cultivation in the
main, and he wrote that this would
conserve the moisture and keep the
crops growing. Instructions We're fol-
lowed. with the result that reports are
row being received from many of the
state farms where this was followed,
and the reports are highly pleasing to
the board of control. The potatoes have
continued to grow right along all fall,
and when the fall rains came they We're
still growing. In fact the potatoes are
growing yet in October and will keep 1t
up until stopped by the frosts. which
have not yet come. The estimate of
the number of potatoes to be purchased
will be revised. The state is better off
by many thousand dollars by reason of
the extra care taken in cultiyating the
potato fields,
