Banker Morgan has been highly
complimented for his shrewdness and
courage in the discovery and ex
posture of cheating by gamblers in the
smoking-room of the steamship on
which he went to Europe. The
gamblers were fleeing some inno-
cents. 1t is unfortunate that there
are no such men as Mr.. Morgan in

the schemes by which some Of the

for volunteer teachers has begun.

". IS the first to volunteer She
offered to leach eight weeks without
compensation. in order that the
school in her district NAV have 4
longer term. Miss Fannie Heck. of

continuance of % public schools by

dent has replied in letter, warmly
thanking her for her interest in the
work, and assuring her of his CO.
operation. This movement is likely
to spread. 1t is argued that young
men and Young women might do

ENDS LIFE IN AWFUL WAY
York County Young Man Determined
to Die.

Guy Anderson, young man twenty
six years old committed suicide in a
horrible manner at his home just south
OF Waco, Neb. The body was found
lying beside pile of burning rubbish
in field near the barn, blackened and
burned almost beyond recognition.
1t seemed that in order to make his
desperate work more certain he first
tied his legs together with wire and
then fastened the wire to fence post
near pile of rubbish. lie then must
have set fire to this rubbish and there.
after cut his throat with a pocket
knife, severing both the windpipe and
the jugular vein. He was perhaps
dead before the fire had any effect
upon his body.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict
that deceased had died from the acts
of his own hands.

GRAIN GOES UP IN SMOKE,
Elevator Fire at st. Louis Causes Loss of
&45O.OOO.

Sparks from a switch engine set fire
to the big elevator owned by the st.
Louis Elevator & Storage company. at
st. Louis, and within less than two
hours the building was reduced to
ashes entailing a loss of $3.50. 900 The
building and contents which consisted
of about 100000 bushels of wheat and
corn, were fully insured.
Ii. c. Haarsticls, president Of the
company, said the building and con-
tents was fully insured. 1t was his
opinion that the loss of the grain would
not affect the local market
The burned elevator was the second
largest in st. Louis and was used for
storage purposes by others than MEM
bers of the st. Louis Elevator & Stor-
age Co., but the latter at this time
happened to own almost all the grain.
The building contained corn and wheat
of grades below No. .. Only small
amount of high class cereals was stored
there. The building was insured for
100000 and the storage company's
grain for S550,000. The other insur-
ance on private storage will aggre-
gate $4,000. There will be little if
any, grain salvage, the fire and water
having made "a clean sweep.

GOES TO UNION IRON WORKS
contract Awarded for Building the Crui..

Contract Awarded for building the Crui..
er Milwaukee.
Ihe navy department has decided to
award the contract for the building of
the protected cruiser Milwaukee to the
union iron works at San Francisco.
When the bids were received they were
referred by Secretary Long to the
BOARD OF construction. The board went
over the subject and then submitted o
written report to Secretary Long. This
report points out that the Pacific coast
mas received only one of eight vessels,
when 1t was the evident purpose Of
congress that at least two OF the vessels
should go there in case the price was
not excessive. In the present case the
bid OF the Union works is S2.sos, 900,
which, the board points out, is CON
siderably less than 4 per cent above
the contract price on similar ships
built in the east. The law allows 4
per cent additional ON ships built on
the Pacific coast.
The first of the new type of five-inch
guns designed for cruisers OF the Den
vor class, was tested at the Indian
head proving ground with very salts
factory results. A projectile weighing
sixty pounds was fired with powder
charge of twenty-six pounds. The
nuzzle velocity reached the exception
ally high figure of 2,99o feet per sec
ond, showing a muzzle energy OF 2.79%
foot tons. This is sixty-tive per cent
more muzzle energy than guns of the
same type have made heretofore. 1t
is sufficient to pierce seven inches of
krupp armor at the muzzle and five
inches of Krupp armor at 1000 yards.
