The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1902-06-25

Salem, June 2O.-The prison
suits of the fugitive convicts, Ira.
cy and Merrill have been recovered.
J. R. Coleman, who lives about 2A
miles southeast of Salem, found the
discarded garments in the timber
on his farm. On the morning of
their escape, the men forced an en-
trance to the wood camp on Cole
mans farm, where they appropriat-
ed change ofclothing, consisting of
overalls and jackets. 1t now devel-
ops that the costumes were changed
in the woods only few rods distant
from the cabin. This section was
thoroughly gone over by the search
ing parties on the day of the mems
escape, and it seems remarkable
that conflict did not take place,
for the pnrsuers at many times
must have been within few yards
of the murderers. The garments
found by Mr.. Coleman consisted of
two pairs of trousers and prison
shirt. The last named garment
was the property of Tracy, bearing
the number 40S8, by which Tracy
was known in the prison. None of
the garments were stained with
blood, nor could any bullet holss
be found to indicate that either of
the men had been wounded. The
right side Of Traey's jacket had
been torn away beneath the sleeve,
and has not been found. It is pre-
sumed that the fragment was used
for wrapping up some of their am
munitioa or one of their fire pieces.

INDORSE THE ARMY.
Manila Chamber of Commerce Adopts
Resolutions TO That Effect.

Manila, April 30.-The American
chamber of commerce has passed a
resolution indorsing the action of the
United States army in the Philip
pines, in an endeavor to counteract
what the members of the chamber
believe to be the opinion prevailing
in the United States, that officers and
soldiers have acted in violation of the
rules of war.
The preamble says the chamber is
composed exclusively of American
business men, who have been thrown
into immediate contact with the pre-
vailing conditions everywhere in the
archipela; o, and it was resolved that
without the constant watchfulness
and protection of the army in the
Philippines no property or business
interests would be safe, and that up
on it's influence depended the stability
of the civil government.
The resolution eulogizes Gen. Chat
fee, "whose earnest effort has sus-
tained and assisted the civil authori-
ties in the difficult task of the estab-
lishment of civil government" and
praises "his good Judgment and hui
manity, which have won him the ad-
miration and affection of all loyal
Americans in the islands,"

Honor to SchIey.

Memphis, Tenn, April 29.-The first
day of the visit to Memphis of Ad-

FEEDING SCRUB CATTLE.
That Rarely Pays n satisfnc-
tory Profit.

In an able article written by Mr.. T.
F. b. Sotham, and published in the an
nual report of the Kansas state board
of agriculture, he says: "Highly salts
factory results have been recorded
from feeding the grades of all the beef
breeds. What n significant lesson is
taught by the preeminent fact that not
one single instance of a profit with
scrubs is recorded. Men who feed
scrubs do not care to advertise their
methods; profit from them savors
too much of sharp practices. Men who
claim to have made money feeding
scrubs are few, and they are sly in
their operation. They buy anything
cheap; bulls, which they castrate and
dehorn; cock-horned, stunted three
year-olds are dehorned, in the eXpec-
tation of palming them off as year
lings-anything to improve appear
ances. Yet the operations of these
feeders, if carefully investigated, will
show that they never get above mar
ket price for their corn, and men who
have borrowed money to buy this sort
of cattle and fed purchased corn in
variably lost money, while for every
dollar profit made on scrub feeding
the same would have yielded far great
er results if fed to good stock. If in
isolated cases any real profit has been
made from feeding scrub cattle, it has
been invariably by owners of large
tracts of rich corn .ands feeding their
portion of corn, which is mainly raised
by renters. In majority of years it
is safe to say they do not receive
through their cattle the market price
for this corn, and in profit-yielding
years they have such large numbers
that n small average profit realizes a
large sum. In this these big feeders
of cheap cattle are like the packers.
who, killing thousands Of cattle per
day, are satisfied with so small profit
that small slaughterer cannot live in
competition. Feeding scrub cattle is
largely speculation. Where feeder
does not own the corn, debt free, he
runs dangerous financial risk. Scrub
cattle should be allowed to fill the
tins, off of grass, and that grass must
be cheap grass, in country where it
Is so plentiful and valueless that cattle
can be kept the year round for pit
tance. In such a section they may be
kept with only the loss of the profits
of "what might have been" had better
stock been kept in their place.

THE RAILS SPREAD.
Passenger Train Wrecked on
q Curve in Missouri.
Five Persons Were Killed and Twen.
ty-fhrce Seriously Hnjured--Tbo
Train Was Running Very
Fast--Cars Were All
Smashed Up.

Keolsuk, Ia, April 30.-The Cali.
fornia Limited, on the Atchison, To-
peka g. Santa Fe road, eastbound.
was derailed on n curve at Cana, a
switch five miles east of Medill Mo-,
Tuesday, while going at tremendous
speed. Five persons were killed and
30 injured. The dead:
S. T. French, Chicago.
Mr.. Weitheiner, San Diego, Cal.
"A son of Henry C. Gates, of Aus
tralia, five years old.
Two others, whose names are not
obtainable.
The injured include Conductor
Charles Sargent, and twin sister of
the Gates boy. The parents of the
twins were also badly injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gates were en- route
from Australia and were, with their
children, eating in the dining car
when the wreck occurred. The train
was over an hour late and passed
Wyaconda, the last station west, at
the rate of 65 miles an hour. When
the heavy train struck the curve at
Cana the rails spread.
The train consisted of two mail
cars, seven Pullmans and one din
ing car. The mail cars, the dining
car and the two forward sleepers
went into the ditch. The tender was
ditched, but the engine remained on
the track. The derailed coaches
were smashed to kindling wood, even
the axles being bent out of shape.
The conductor went to a farm house
and telephoned report of the
wreck. The railroad officials then
hurried a relief train from Fort
Madison.
The trainmen worked nobly, assist.
ed by unhurt passengers and neigh
boring farmers. The place of the
wreck is distant from all communica
ton.
Fourteen of the injured were taken
to the hospital at Fort Madison. The
others, except the mail clerk, Run
kle, continued on their journey. The
dead were taken to Fort Madison
The dining car turned completely
over and rolled down ten-foot EN-
banltment and two coaches were
thrown clear off the right of way.

Last weck-Other Crops.

NecR-Othcr trOphs
Washington, Apial 3o.-Following is
the weather bureaus summary of
crop conditions: Winter wheat has
experienced improvement in Illinois
and portions of Missouri, and is
slightly improved in Ohio and the
middle Atlantic states. In Kansas
and Nebraska it Is in need of mois
ture. Winter wheat is also in need
of rain in the central and upper Ohio
valleys, no improvement being re-
ported from Indiana, where n con-
siderable acreage in the southern
part of the state is being plowed up.
On the Pacific coast winter wheat
has made favorable progress.
Over the southern portion of the
spring wheat region seeding of spring
wheat is nearly completed, and the
early sown is coming up, but is maxi
ing slow growth.
Considerable corn has been planted
in Illinois, some in southern portions
of Ohio and Iowa, and planting is
well advanced in Missouri, Kansas,
Kentucky and Virginia. In the south
ern states corn has made good
growth and is in various stages of
cultivation.
Oats have made favorable growth
in the southern states and are gen.
orally improved in Missouri and Illi-
nois. Poor stands are reported from
Nebraska, and unsatisfactory in
Michigan and Pennsylvania. Seeding
continues in the northern sections.

SEVERE EXPLOSION.
1t Occurs on the Submarine Boat Full
ton-SeveraI NIen Injured.

Lewes, Del, April 30.-An explosion
of considerable severity which in
jured half dozen persons occurred
on the submarine boat Fulton Tues
day, as she was running into the har-
Dor of Delaware breakwater.
The most seriously injured are:
Lieut.. Oscar Kohen, of the Austrian
navy, severely bruised; Lieut.. Arthur
Macarthur, n. S. N, cut about the
head; Harry Moore, assistant ell
ginecr, injured about the head; c. b.
Minor, assistant engineer, nose split;
Charles Betchtol, gunner, severely
hurt on head and body.
All the injured were sent to the
United States marine hospital and af-
ter their wounds were dressed they
were discharged.
The explosion was caused by an ac-
emulation of gas, which had been
generated by the storage batteries.
Although the explosion was violent
one, the vessel was only slightly in
jured. She will be towed to the Hol-
land Co.'s station at New Suffolk for
repairs as soon as the weather mod
crates. 1t will take several days to
put the battery in serviceable condi-
tion.
Captain Frank S. Cable, who was in
command of the Fulton, said last
night: THE accident was an occur
renee which could never be foreseen,
but which can be guarded against in
the future, and which in no way af-
fects the eventual success of subma-
rine navigation, even while it has put
quietus on this particular trop."

WAS A DEADLY BLAST
Texas Town of Glenrose and VII
cinity Visited by Cyclone.
The Death List So Far ns Known
Numbers Fifteen - Fears Tint 1t
May lie Larger Fifty Persons
Injurcd-BuiIdings Wrecked.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 90, 3 n. M
A cyclone spread path of death and
desolation five miles in width and of
unknown length through central Tex
as shortly before six o'clock last night.
The storm centered in Somervell coun-
ty and swept down upon the town OF
Glenrose, the county seat, tearing to
pieces probably 200 buildings and kill
ing at least Is and iniuring so persons.
One-third of the business houses were
wrecked and many homes are now only
splintered beams scattered over a wide
area.
The cyclone struck the town almost
without moments warning. The res
idents were wholly unprepared for its
coming and if they had been warned
of its approach their utmost efforts
could have availed them nothing, for
no building of human construction
could withstand the force of the storm.
Houses were torn to shreds while the
frightened occupants were looking out
of windows or eating supper. Broken
!. timbers crashed down upon their
heads. Many persons, the roofs of
their homes having been whipped off
and the walls torn asunder, were
whirled along with the blast and the
debris.
Glenrose is wholly cut off from the
world through the destruction of the
telephone and telegraph wires to the
town. \ telegraph operator who es-
capped injury went five miles out, how
ever. tapped wire that had been left
in place and sent meager details of the
disaster to Morgan, 20 miles distant,
at the same time calling for aid from
surrounding villages and cities.

Following is the list of dead at Glen
rose so far as known: Mrs. Carl A.
Milan, three children of Mr.. and Mrs
Carl 4. Milan. Jesse Milan, two chill

Mrs. Henry Lewis, Rev. James Ford
pastor of Methodist church; - Mi,
lam. three-year-old daughter of Judge
Robert NJ. Milam; Miss Mary Connell
- Musgrove, a young man. More
than SO persons were injured in Glen
rose.
Glenrose was town of about / .00t
population. Though but small plac,
ii contained many wealthy residents
who were prominent throughout TIL,
state. Among these were the Milan
families. who suffered most from the
effects of the cyclone. Carl A. Milan
was cashier of the First national bank
His home was directly in the path o
the storm. The members of the famil,
of five were at windows watching tn,
cloud that was approaching when tn,
roof was lifted from the walls and th
entire building collapsed, crushing al
inside beneath the debris. In anothe
instant the center of the cyclon
reached down, picked up the wrecliag
and strewed it across the valley. Their
is now scarcely stick on the spo
where the house once stood. Milan
was found badly injured far from tn
site of his home. The members of hi
family. all of whom are dead, wer
found in various places in the storm
path.
