a weeks work with III evIsiting committee
Of the General Assembly. Senator Heather
is chairman of the committee, the other

GtaInpfu of Cole County and Representative
A. e. L. Gardiner of st. Louis County.
I'VE have visited the Insane Asylum in
St. Joseph, the Normal School in Kirksville.
the State Hospital for the Insane and the
Deaf and Dumb School in Fulton, the In
dustnal Home for Girls In Chillicothe and
the eRform School for Boys in Boonville."
said Senator Heather. 81 think that I have
learned more in the past fortnight than
during the two years previous to that time.
Some Of the things which I have seen
have surprised me more than I can tell. The
Boonville School impressed me more than
any other Of the Institutions which We Wis
fled. The work which is being done there
is one OF which every one in the State can
justly be proud. Next week We are going
into the southwestern part Of the State.
We shall spend next Sunday IN Nevada. ac-

that for over year no case or yellow fever

MAD ELEPHANT KILLED
GYPSY SHOT AFTER KILLING ITS
KEEPER, JAMES O'ROURKE.
Big Beast Escaped to the Woods and
Hunt Was Organized-Buried
Where 1t Fell.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. 23.-Gypsy, the
big elephant belonging to Harriss Nickel
plate shows and which injured its keeper
in winter quarters in Chicago several years
ago, went crazy, six miles from valdosta,
Yesterday and killed its keeper. James
O'Rourke. The circus train had been in a
wreck at Triton earlier in the day, when
several of the animal cars were wrecked
and two or three trained horses killed.
The elephant Gypsy was in nervous state
when the train pulled out for valdosta, the
next show point. Six miles out from that
town Gypsy became so noisy and restless
that O'Rourke entered the as the train
stopped at a small station to try to quiet
her. Immediately the mad brute attacked
the man and crushed his life out against
the side of the car. O'Rourke, for some
reason. did not close the door of the car
after him, so, after killing her keeper,
Gypsy escaped 10 the woods. The animals s
station and hunt was organized. The big
beast was shot a number of times before II
s,cc,inbed to rife bullets in the brain.
O'Rourke's body was taken 20 Valdosta,
where il was given burial this afternoon.
being taken to the cemetery I'm a circus
wagon drawn by six horses. His home was
i'm New Orleans. where he has wife and
family The skin and bones of the elephan
have been saved. Twelve men buried the
mountain OF flesh to-day In the woods
where Gypsy was killed
