The passage of the interoceanic canal
bill by the late congress means more to
II he South than any legislation of recent
|years,-its advantage to this section
will be greater than to any other por-
ktion of the union. Whether it be Pana-
s,na or Nicaragua. matters little,-an
canal is what the South
needs and has long demanded. For va
srious reasons the Panama route is pre-
Eferred to the Nicaragua survey, though
to the South the latter would be more
advantageous, being closer at our doors
II and offering shorter route to the
Pacific coast. But a canal across the
Eisthmus is what has long been advocat-
ed, and be it Panama or Nicaragua, the
Southern states will rejoice ial it's COM
pletion.

BIG STORM IN DAKOTA.
Four Deaths Took Place Eight Mile:
East Of Rolia.

st. Paul, Aug. lS.-A special to the
Pioneer Press from Grand Forks, N.
d.. says; A terrific storm passed ov-
or the eastern portion of the state
last night. coming from the direction
OF the Turtle mountains. Reports re-
ceived from Rolla say that four deaths
occurred eight miles east of there as
a result OF the tornado. The house OF
a settler, whose name is unknown
was blown down and his wife and
three children were killed. His son
was killed instantly and his wife and
little daughters were caught in the
ruins and so badly crushed that they
lived but a short time. The country
about there is sparsely settled and
no other casualties are reported. The
storm passed directly over Rolla but
did no damage there. Beyond there.
however, the wind apparently increas-
ed In fury and many substantial build
ings were destroyed. In the Red Riy-
err valley, two sections of the storm
passed. one about 6 o'clock and the
other at 10 o'clock. In both lightning
was very severe and there was heavy
rainfall. Hail fell in some places In
sufficient quantities to destroy the
grain crop, which was just ready for
the sickle. Passengers tonight from
the east report everything hailed out
in the vicinity of Erskine. No har-
vesting was done today in the storm
belt, but work will be resumed tomor-
row

Whereas, the first Monday of Sep

hereby recommend that all industrial

Quoted negotiations. has been secured
by people interested in the company
and Mr., Dodd will probably be a
ager of the business.
Mr.. Redmon and his associates have
made a thorough investigation into
the conditions and are convinced that
there will be a great demand for
mules in this vicinity as soon as the
people learn OF their worth. At pres
ent there are comparatively few mules
in the northern part of the state, and
though many attempts to raise them
have been made, they have proved
generally unsuccessful, but this Is
said to have been due to a lack of
proper care of jacks and to efforts to
use only cayuse mares. Those who
have now become interested in the
matter will use only the best mares,
and fine jacks that are cared for.
They claim that a mule weanling
may be sold for as much as a three
year-old horse. that a mule is always
salable. that he is useful for a much
longer period than a horse, and that
in every way mules are better than
horses for farmers and for othe.
heavy work.
A corporation will be formed to con.
duct the business, and besides rails.

jacks for sale and in the stud.-Trib,

II. d. Redmon. one of the proprietors
of large mule sale yards in st. Louis

They will bring out from Tennessee
about 200 jacks and many mares, and
later secure mares in this vicinity,

The President of the Billion Dollar
Steel Trust Has Been Acting In
a Strange Manner.
WILL RETIRE FROM BUSINESS
Attending Physician Advises Him
to Seek Some Quiet Nook in
Foreign Cline.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1S.-A special to
the Pittsburg Dispatch from Loretto,
Pa, says:
President Charles NJ. Schwab of the
United States Steel corporation ac-
cepted the advice of his physician
and decided to retire indefinitely from
active business life.
He will leave America to seek some
quiet nook in some foreign cline.
This information is authentic. DR..
Golden leaves the Schwab home
and the exact nature of his patients
condition cannot be learned through
him. Mr.. Schwab is not contend to
his bed. but spends much of his time
on the wide veranda, which affords
fresh air and a sweeping view of the
mountain slope.
He is always with his wife Of his
parents. The strange part of Mr..
Schwab's illness is that he is always
within view of those who call at his
home, yet he will not allow any per-
SOL to approach him. Heretofore, the
visitors to the Schwab home were
greeted with a hearty welcome and
a vigorous handshake.
Now, the visitors are met at the
entrance and are told that Mr.. Schwab
cannot be seen. Intimates of the fam.
| lily receive the same information and
no one is able to with Mr..
Schwab since he came back to his
home.
The presence of sisters belonging
to the Order of Mercy who were in
his house day and night since Thurs
day was another indication of illness.
The nuns were not yelled, but it Is
generally known that they are nurs.
ing the man who has SO many times
%befriended them and their institutions.
Mr.. Schwab's destination will be kept
a secret and he will do nothing but
seek health until his nerve have
been restored to their normal condi-
ton and his mind fully relieved of
the great strain resulting from SO
many business cares.
1t was after learning that his health
was very bad and that he intended to-
devote a year to recuperation that /
passed into the grounds leading to
the home on the mountain top.
Mrs. Schwab said that her husband
would not see any person and had not
been seeing visitors for several days.
Mr.. Schwab sat on a couch within
hearing of our voices. A paper was
before his eyes. He exhibited no in
terest and made no attempt to move.
Business associates. 1t is said. have
met with a similar reception during
the past two days. Mr.. Schwab has
been directed by his doctors to rid
his mind of all business cares and he
is obeying the order r~eligiously.
Inquiry among the people of the
town who have c~onversed with the
| Schwabs fully corroborated the story
that he intends to retire from active
business life. His friends, however,
deny that II he leaves the United
States Steel corporation it will be at
the dictation of any other person
than himself.

The fire bell pealed forth its dread
alarm shortly after noon on Friday
and in a short space of time the
streets ere filled with enquiring cit
liens and hurrying fremen. It was
asccrtalncd that a small fire had
started at the Lained residence and
inside of five minutes the department
was on the spot, only to find that the
Games had been gotten under control.
The FIRE vas caused by a dirty fine
which caught fire and burned iercely
fer a few moments.
Capt. Harry willard left this morn
ing for San Francisco. where. after
a visit of several weeks with his
family. he will embark for the Phil
ippines. Whether the latter will ac-
company him depends largely upon
the post to which he is assigned in
our distant possessions. He thinks
1t quite probable that his wife and
child will accompany him. The cap
tain thinks he will return in about
two years. He has seen considerable
service in the tropics and is entitled
to a better post. However. he is the
last n to complain of his assign
ment.
The Rev. W. A. Winters and wife
returned to Lewistown on Friday ev-
ening after a pleasant trip of four
weeks duration. during which he at
tended the Methodist conference at
Bozeman. Mr.. Winters drove his own
team on the trip and left by the way
of Great Falls. returning via Bozeman
and Billings. When a short distance
the other side of TIBET he let the team
fill up on alkali water, and the con-
sequence was that on reaching the
neighborhood of the Won Tobel ranch
an attack of collie prevented one of
the animals from proceeding further.
Luckily, however, Ole Wight and Wal.
ker Wells were returning from Rock
creek. where they had taken the
Wells and Beebe party earlier in the
day. and were able to assist the min
lister in returning to town.
The fire alarm was sounded again
on Saturday at noon and a quick run
was made by the department to lower
Main street. where it was found that
a small blaze in one Of the Simpson
houses. near the livery barn, was the
of the call. Chief Bebb was at
the scene of the fire with an extin-
guisher, though 1t was not necessary
to use II. This is the second time
that the department has been called
to this house and the fire occurred in
identically the same place as before.
In connection with the late fires ii
would he well to sound a warning
note to parents. and mention the fact
that a small boy or girl, who is ca
yorting around in front of the fire
engine. when il Is being dragged to
the fire by the use of saddle horses.
is very liable to be run over.
