Jacob DIETRICH, in Holt couny, Mo.
He is believed to be Deitrich's son,
although there is no direct evidence
to prove it. 1t is certain that Del
trich kept him a prisoner from the
time of his birth, almost, until he
was % years old, and that he was
only liberated after the death of the
man supposed to be his father.
On the high hills that overlook the
Missouri river, in a district known as
Crackers Neck" stands the old
farmhouse in which Jacob DIETRICH
lived for more than 40 years. 1t is
an isolated place, and there is no
public road near it. The heavy
growth of trees was never cut from
the hills surrounding the DIETRICH
home, and for months at time no.

The old man died a few weeks ago,
and neighbors went to his house to
attend the funeral. A dozen men
and a few women went there for
the purpose of rendering any assist
ance possible in giving their eccen-
trio neighbor decent burial. 1t was
then the discovery was made that
DIETRICH had prisoner in stone
room that adjoined the old farm
house on the rear.
The prisoner was taken out. He
was "a man, possibly % or "a years
old. His appearance was more like
that of wild animal than a human.
The abject terror and the supreme
JOY that seized this poor creature
by turns when he beheld the faces of
the men who found him was a spec
tacle the simple farmers will never
forget.
The creature found in the stone
room back of Deitrich's house had
long, matted hair on it's head, and a
beard that covered the lower part
of the face. 1t. was dressed in cast
off clothing, through the rents in
which the body could be seen in
places. There was a general outline

another woman arrived at Deitrich's
house, and there was terrible
scene. There was a story in circula-
ton at the time that the second
woman was Deitrlch's sweetheart
whom he had left in the old country.
and that she had followed him to his
home in the new world, bent on re-
venge.
The woman remained at Deitrich's
home, and the neighbors knew moth
ing of the conditions on which she
was permitted to stay, or her status
there. They knew that she appeared
to have an influence over both Del
trich and his young wife. Such sto-
ries as they heard came from people
who went occasionally to the farm
house, and from men employed on
the place by DIETRICH. Even then
the other farmers in that locality
had little to do with DIETRICH and his
family. They never made any social
calls at the house, and the Deitrichs
had nothing to do with them.
About % years ago it was said
that baby was born at the DIETRICH
house, and one old woman in the
neighborhood claims to have seen
the child. She went there a few
days after it was born, and says it
was boy. The physician who att
tended at the birth of the child is
long since dead, and if there was
any secret about it, he appears to
have carried it with him to his
grave. The same physician attend
ed Mrs. DIETRICH q short time later.
and she died. Then the woman who
came from Germany died, and Del
trich was left alone.
The stone room stands on sloping
ground at the rear of the house, but
the floor of the prison is on level
with that part of the house in which
DIETRICH lived, and is connected with
it by passage leading from his
room. Through a slit in the heavy
oaken door DIETRICH evidently passed
food and water to the prisoner.
Near one corner of the stone room,
and separated from it by iron bars,
there is stove, used for heating
the prison. The stove cannot be seen
from the inside of the stone room.

How the Unclean Places in Cuba
Were Renovated by the Amer
lean Authorities.

Cuban cities, like Havana and San
tiago, previous to the Spanish war,
were great breeders of pestilence, and
menaces to the world. Now yellow
fever and smallpox have been practi-
callv stamped out, and the death rate
in the island has decreased one-half,
and was lower in Havana last winter
than in New York, says the Woman's
Home Companion.
In Havana an engineer corps insti-
tuted a general system of houseclean-
ing. Every house in the city was
cleaned from top to bottom under the
supervision of American officers,
whether the tenant was of high or low
degree: remonstrances availed moth
ing. AS many as 10000 houses were
cleaned in one month. The sewer sys-
tenn was given equal attention; the
American authorities cleansed and re-
paired every foot of sewer, and did it
SO thoroughly and scientifically that
not man in the cleaning squads was
taken i'll.

through the United States canal;
and our government had to refuse
Sir Garnet Wolsey the permission
when he asked for it for his troops.
The troops and supplies were landed
on the Canadian side, the empty yes-
sells passed through the canal and
reloaded on the Lake Superior side.
Another occurrence helped towards
the construction of a Canadian canal.
When rates were raised in 1892 on
American cargoes passing through
the WeJland canal, the government of
the United States began retaliation
by sending word to the Canadian
government that tolls would be
raised on Canadian vessels passing
through the Sault ST. Marie docks.
Whereupon the excessive tolls were
withdrawn, but the English decided
to go to work upon an independent
canal, waterway of their own. To-
day the Canadian vessels, as rule,
make use of the Canadian canal, al
though through the Am erican canal
all shipping passes free, both domes-
tic and foreign.
1t is very interesting to spend a
day at the $500" during the busy sea-
son and watch the motley craft com
ing and going through the wonderful
waterway. One can sit at ease in the
pleasant park bordering the canal,
and see glide along before him, with
out hitch or hating, a ceaseless pam
Drama of vessels. There are beauti-
full trim yachts, contrasting with the
big-snouted, clumsy-looling whale
backs, the pigs" as the sailors so
aptly call them; there are stately,
modern vessels, great floating pal
aces, also tubs of another day;
crowded passenger vessels, and huge
freight boats, with perhaps only a
couple of lonely men visible; putting,
energetic tugs near consorts stately
in size and general appearance. 1t
is show worth seeing.
These canals at the Sault have
ministered much to the rapid deveI-
opment of the lake cities. We quote
from writer treating of the lake
traffic of the present season: in its
astonishing magnitude the COM
merce of the great lakes is not only
an impressive exponent of the un-
usual business activities of the coun-
try, but reminder of the important
part the lake system plays in the
prosperity and development of doz-
en- states and a hundred or more cit.

A word about the history of the
canals. Long ago, when Canada be-
gan to be explored by the adventur-
Gus white men, schemes were devised
for facilitating transportation be-
tween Lake Superior and the other
waters of the Great Lakes. In 1889
canal was projected across st.
Mary's island, connecting Lakes Su-
perior and Huron, and ten years later
the canal was in readiness for navi-
cation. This early canal was but 800
feet in length and As feet in width,
with u lock SO feet long and nine feet
wide. One of the Northwestern Fur
companies was the originator of the
enterprise, which eventually fell into
the hands of the Hudson Bay COM
pany. This plucky little canal was
destroyed in the first days of the
troubles of 1912, a company of Amer
lean volunteers doing their work so
effectually that it was never rebuilt.
The state of Michigan some years
later pushed to completion canal on
the American side, and in 1855 there
was opened for business the first lock
ing a maximum of 11h feet. The
cost Of this canal was $1,OOO.0O0. The
first years tonnage was 100000 tons.
The succeeding years saw a very
rapid increase, as the iron ores about
Lake Superior became in great de-
mand. In 1880 the tonnage had risen
to 1,750,C00.
The increased tonnage demanded
improvements in the canal, and in
1881 there was opened to navigation
the lock now in use, a very wonder
full engineering work, costing $2,000,
600. This second canal is SIS feet in
length and so in width. The old can
ais and locks were assumed by the
government the same year, and very
extensive improvements were begun
to still further facilitate transporta-
ton. Congress called in the war de-
partment for information as to what
additional improvements were con-
sidered necessary, and the report in
answer asked for "the construction
of a dry dock in the canal, the i'm
provement of the Hay lake channel
and the immediate construction of
another lock-" The new lock, on the
site of the first one, the one of 1855,
is 500 feet long and 100 feet wide.
These last improvements, costing ST.
397. $50, allows of the passage of yes
sells of great depth, and statistics
show that the improvements already
made on the canals and the st.

were unnatural in their growth. At
first he crouched in corner, and
whined like frightened animal, but
in time he stood face to face with
the first of his kind that he had ever
seen, and laughed in an ecstacy of
JOY.
There is no doubt of the creature
found in that room having been a
prisoner there since early childhood,
and perhaps birth. Nobody in the
neighborhood had ever seen the
young man before, and older people
did not know that there was ever
child at Deitrich's home, since the
one born % years ago, of which they
had heard. They believed the child
long since dead and buried, or sent
away to some of Deitrich's relations
in Germany.
Jacob DIETRICH came to this coun-
try when a young man, and built
the house in which he lived all the
remainder of his life. He seldom
left it during the latter years, and
the neighbors nov think they under
stand why he remained so close. Tt
r
there, and to keep his presence from
becoming known to others. 1t was
40 years ago that DIETRICH built the
house in the hills, and he lived alone
in it a number of years. He bought
land in the valley, and became a
farmer. In the course of time he
rented his land, and lived comfort
ably on the money he received
from the renters. At the time of
his death he was reputed to be,
wealthy, although little was known
about his business by the neighbors.
About 35 years ago DIETRICH went
away and returned with a wife, the
older neighbors say. She was a
pretty girl, considerably younger
than her husband. A few years later

stuffed into the shape of the fruit. A
cape collar of embroidery and lace
is the finish.
Pretty for young women are the
shorter loose coats ending at the hip
dine, and made of silk, cloth and vel
vet. Double and triple collars are
feature of the coats, both on long
and short, and pipings of silk are
sometimes the finish.
AS FOL long coats, their name is le-
gion, since there is no limit to the
variety. They are made loose like
the shorter ones, with plaits and
abundant fullness, or half fitted to
the figure, if you like. Others seem
to have been cut circular in shape
and set into yoke at the shoulder
line.
Here, again, we have the same cape
collars, dangling ornaments, for
finish, and the large sleeves.
In dark cloths for travelling use
these coats are something on the or
der of a Newmarket slashed up high
at the back and sides to give oppor-
tunity for holding up the gown I'M
derneath. The finish is a stitched
band, triple collars and cord and
tassel ornamentation at the front.
At last fashion seems to have con-
sidered the wants of elderly women,
and has brought out the dolmans
again. At least, there is wrap
shown among the latest importa-
tions which very much resembles
the old-time dolman.
1t is made of black cloth, hand en-
broidered, if you like, falls well below
the hip line, and has a simulated
sleeve. In other words, the garment
is shaped to give the appearance of
sleeve without really having the arm
hole which old ladies like to avoid.
