plantation

Half crazed by jealousy, Mrs. Robert
Shultz, wife of saloonkeeper at Dew.
cy. Mont, threw two ounces of vitriol
in her husbands face. Her revenge
may make him blind for life. 1t is said
she intended the vitriol for the woman
she believes TO be the recipient of her
husbands attentions. but not being
able to find her, threw it on Shultz
instead.
Shultz was behind the bar serving a
glass OF beer to customer when his
wife, who is young and handsome,
entered. Her face was flushed and her
hair disheveled. Without uttering a
word she walked up to the bar, and as
her husband looked at her inquiringly,
she threw the vitriol in his face.
The couple were married only last
fail, and until Mrs. Shultz became
Jealous OF another woman they were
thought to be happy. Mrs. Shultz was
arrested. Relatives of the husband
have induced him to prosecute the case,
he is said to be loath to do
so. A divorce suit will probably fol-
low. Physicians believe Scbultz's eye
sight is destroyed.

ONE THOUSAND KILLED.
Terrible Loss OF Life In Riots In Ts Hing
Flu, China


Chinese officials say that thousand
people have been killed in riots at Ia
Ming Flu. the southernmost prefecture
of the province Of Chi Ii. This is. per-
haPs, an exsggeration. but the loss Of
life was undoubtedly great.
The riots were due to attempts Of
local officials to collect indemnities for
the Catholics, as arranged between the
officials and the priests.
Soldiers have been dispatched to
quell the disturbances and a Tao Tai
has been sent to adjust the difficulties
The officials warn the missionaries
to keep out Of the disturbed districts
Such resistance to the payment of
the missionary claims is to be expected
in localities where the population is
poor and large sums are needed.

A Score OF Victims Perish in Recent Storm

Reports from the flooded districts OF
Tennessee emphasize the gravity OF
the situation. 1t is believed that the
damage will reach 81, 900, 900, while
twenty-five lives are known to be lost
Several counties, certain to have suf-
fered severely, are yet cut off from
communication, and the loss of prop
erty and life may go higher than these
figures.
The section visited by the flood en-
braces one of the richest portions of
the state, and damage to farm lands is
a serious item. 1t includes counties
lying between the mountains on the
east and the Tennessee river on the
west, and between the Cumberland
river and the Alabama line.

BUILDER OF EMPIRE DEAD.
Cecil Rhodes. the African millionaire
Passes Away After Long Illness.

Cecil Rhodes long illness termina-
ted in his death at Capetown at 5:45
p. m. Wednesday. The immediate
cause of his death was two successive
attacks of heart failure.
Cecil John Rhodes, known as the
diamond king, was the younger son of
an English clergyman. His father
sent him to Oxford, but signs of con-
sumption necessitated change of eli
mate and air. An older brother was
farming in Natal and thither Cecil
Rhodes was sent.
Kimberly at this time was becoming
famous, by reason of the discovery of
diamonds there, and Herbert Rhodes
caught the fever. After a year the
younger brother was greatly improved
in health and then was the commence
ment of his successful career.
He and his brother stalzed out claims
and worked them. Fortune smiled on
a small fortune. Cecil Rhodes then
ceased his work, returned home, re-
entered college and took his degree.
His means being exhausted he returned
once more to the diamond fields and
started TO work again with renewed
energy. He proved slSillful in working
the mines, but 10 selling his wares
was where he evinced the most skill.
He made splendid profits and doomed
up as successful man in the COMPETE
tive race, as the output was so large
that the supply exceeded the demand.
After much argument he succeeded in
getting the miners to combine for mu-
tai protection. The great De Beers
company was then formed aud Cecil
Rhodes practically controlled it. The
capital of the company is placed at
$40, 000, 900, and previous to the start
ing of the Boer war it paid dividend
averaging 40 per cent.
What he did in the diamond fields
Rhodes repeated on small scale in
African gold. Although he did not
have monopoly in the gold field, yet
his holdings were so successfully |
worked that a dividend of 25 per cent |
was paid.
Once. in the office of Kimberley dia-
mond merchant with the map of Africa
before him, he swept his hand over the
great central region from the cape to
Lake ranganyika. and said:
"All that for England. 1t is the
dream of my life"
He believed in the imperial idea and
the British flag, and no obstacle seemed
too great for him to surmount. In
wrestling possessions from the control
of rightful owners he never faltered,
and it was not until the Jameson raid
that he received his first setback. In
l $50 he was made member of the Cape
house of assembly and at the age of %
was treasurer general of Cape Colony.
In 1890 he was elected to the Cape pre-
AS premier he acquired
vast expanse of territory, which he
named Rhodesia. He spent his money
ecklessly in furthering his am billions.
Cecil Rhodes was never married, and
was pronounced woman hater, hav-
ng an adherence for society and for

TO REORGANlZE THE BOARD
LIKELIHOOD THAT POWER TO APPOINT
RAPID TRANSIT COMMISSION WILL
BE GIVEN TO THE MAYOR.

The Rapid Transit Commission in all proba-
bility will be reorganized by special act OF the
legislature next winter. and the Mayor will have
the power to appoint the commissioners. At
present the commission, which was organized
by special act. is a self-peTpetuating body. va
cancies being filled by vote of the board itself.
Il have had several talks with President Orr
of the commission" said Controller Grout yes
terday. "and he admits that 1t would perhaps
be wiser for the board to be reorganized and
the appointing power placed in the Mayor 1t
seems to me that there can be no objection 10
n provision that will make the tenure OF office
for the commissioners six years. This tenure
seems to meet the ideas of Mr.. Orr and his col
leagues on the commission. The bill. if intro
duced. doubtless will give the Mayor the ap-
pointing OF a full board of six regular members
and will provide that the terms of the commits
sioners to be appointed by him shall terminate
in two four and six years This will make it
possible to make changes in the board from time
to time. so that any unwise general policy could
not be continued for an indefinite length OF
time.
II do not wish to be understood criticising
the present commissioners. They have the con-
fidence of the people. and are men of unusual
experience and ability. If any change is made
it will be for the purpose of placing the board
oa a basis that ii cannot be criticised as
self f-perpetuating body"
Whether not the sentiment on the part OF
some of Mr. CIRCUITS and Mr.. Lows friends in ia
of a change in the constitution of the Rapid
Transit Commission is due To the recent differ
ence of opinion over ducts in the subway remains
be seen. The Mayor and Controller GrOuI con-
tended that the ducts. which are to aCCommo-
date the electric power wires on both walls of
the tunnel should be regarded as part of the
equipment of the underground system, and as
sue should he paid for by the contractor, Mr..
Mcdonald. President Orr and the other
commissioners held 70 the opinion that the
ducts, which are to cost about Il l.Wb.WN. should
be regarded as part of construction" and IS
such be paid for by the city. The contractor.
Mr.. Mcdonald. has informe Mr.. GrOut that he
is going TO bring a friendly suit to make the
city pay for the ducts thus far installed, and the
Mayor and Controller are content to have the
subject thrashed out in the courts

band wagon is becoming crowded and
more are daily climbing on. Not
withstanding the heavy support given
his opposition, Halden is constantly
gaining supporters from the ranks.
The press of the lower country is
throwing all manner of boquets at
the st. Louis county auditor, and
this in the face of the fact that the
lower part of the state is supposed to
be dramatically opposed to anything
eminating from the northern end.

to Halden as the nominee of the con-
vention.

NOTHING strange or startling has
developed in the congressional situa-

talked of and should he decide to not
allow his name to be used, the chances
are that j. Adam Bede will be the
next congressman. Mr.. Kinney has
not returned from the south and his
friends are at a loss as to the mode of
procedure. Should he decide to ac-
cept, he would be IL formidable oppon-
ent for any of the numerous mention
ed aspirants, with the best chances
for the nomination and election.
