Lost by a Toy Balloon.

Diamonds and other jewels have been
lost in all sorts of queer ways, but in
none more unusual than the accident
mentioned in the Boston Transcript, by
which a diamond brooch was snatched
from the owners dress and left some
where on the great plains.
A young woman was travelling by
rail through Kansas. At Kinsley, where
the train made a considerable stop, a
fair was in progress Here the young
woman bought of peddler a toy bal
loon for a little girl who had won for
fancy.
The child was delighted with the
plaything. and as they rode along she
chatted with her new friend and pulled
the balloon up and down. At length
she playfully fastened the string to
the lady's diamond brooch.
The train was rounding a curve at
the moment, and a strong gust of air
came through the car The balloon
was carried out through the open win
dow. The sudden jerk on the string
Ioosened the brooch, and away it sailed.
The jewel was so valuable that the
young woman offered reward of five
hundred dollars for it's recovery. Spur
red by this incentive, cowboys secured
the plains for days in all directions,
but without success.

CHATTER XKIV

From their place of concealment, Guide
Whitman and his companions saw every
thing of Importance that transpired in
the illumiuated valley beneath. They
were so close that had they chosen to
have used their rifles. they could have de-
.stroyed the chiefs gathering for the coun-
Gil.
Il can see ST. Armand and the Indian
girl" said Mike, after the crowd had
disappeared.
"Hush!' said Bertram Leroy, who had
been intently watching; 1.-The chiefs are
coming this way"
And there's that wretch, Richmond
walking with them as large as life. Guide
Whitman, would it be prudent to take a
shot at him? l can assure you it would
do me world of good!'
Not now, Mike. Hist! speak not an
other word till l tell you" replied Guide
Whitman.
The chiefs came under the rock and sat
down. The murmur of their voices could
be heard. The spark that lit the call-
met and the glow in the bowl could be
seen distinctly. Richmond's plea was
heard, every word of it, for he raised his
voice and spoke with the loud, bombastic
manner of stump speaker. They saw
Richmond after he had concluded, walk
ing away.
The time has come" whispered Guide
Whitman. Have you all your horse
ropes?"
All answered in the affirmative
Keep them secure; make no noise and
obey me implicitly"
Guide Whitman could have descended
directly ana reached the chiefs in few
minutes, but knowing that the least noise
would cause an alarm. he decided to
make detour and place his little force
directly between his objective point and
the camp. They went down as silently
as the shadows. and were crouching OH

price columns

The table shows that the wholesale
prices of these food products have tluc-
tuated in response to the auctuation in
that of the farm product from which
they are derived. But apparently rhe
average price of beef was proportionately
lower during 1901 than the price of cat
tie, as will be seen by comparing the
price of beef, .O7S in 1901, when cattle
averaged $3.50 per hundred, with the
price in 1892, 076, when cattle averaged
$110 lower per hundred.
Another table in the bulletin shows
that while the price Of cattle in 1901
compared with the average price for
1S90-1901 increased Is to Is per cent
that of fresh beef increased only 2 per
cent. The decrease in the price of sheep
and mutton was almost exactly relative,
being 1913 and 10.5 per cent respectively.

VALUABLE FOR COMPARISON.
Prices of Cattle and Meat During the
Past Twelve Years.


Bulletin No. 80, recently issued by the
Department of Labor, contains a most
valuable exposition of the course of
wholesale prices in the United States
for the years 1890 to 1901 inclusive.
Treating of the range of prices for cattle
during these twelve years it is interest
ing at the present time to recall that the
lowest price for choice to extra steers
was touched in April 1896, at from
1886 to $4.25 per 100 pounds, while the
highest for the same grade was reached
in October. 1899, at from $3.50 to ST.
The lowest and highest prices for good to
choice steers quoted respectively are So
to $500 in January, 1890, and $500 to
$6.40 in October, 1899 The lowest quo
tation for fresh beef, native sides, was
5 to cents per pound in March, 1894,
and the highest was II cents in Deem
Der of the same year.
The average price of cattle and sheep
per hundred pounds in Chicago, accord
ing to quotations from the Daily Trade
Bulletin during the years covered in this
report, is shown in the first two price col
umns in the table. The average price
per pound of beef and mutton during the
same period as quoted in the govern
ment's bulletin from the New York Jour
nal of Commerce is shown in the second
two price columns

DIE IN MINE HORROR.
One Hundred and Nine Miners Killed
by Explosion at Fernie, Il. c.

by Explosion at Fernie, Il. c.
One hundred and nine miners working
in the Fernie shafts, Nos. , and 3, locat-
ed in the eastern part of the province of
British Columbia, were killed by an e2-
plosion. Twenty-four of the employees
in the mines escaped to the surface with
various cuts and bruises.
Early reports were to the effect that
the mines were on fire and that the death
list would be greatly increased, but later
kilograms announce that the fire has
been controlled.
Careful investigation shows that 133
men were working in the two shafts at
the time of the disaster. Of this number
twenty four are accounted for, but it is
feared that all the others are dead.
The cause of the explosion is said to
have been the presence of fire damp, ig-
nited by a match with which a miner
was lighting a pipe in defiance of orders.
A tremendous explosion occurred in No.
2 mine, followed in a few seconds by an
other explosion in No. 3, connected by Il
short tunnel. The majority of the men
were in No. 3. Every family in the little
town is directly affected by the calamity.
and the entire population is in a state
of frenzy.
The two shafts in which the explosion
occurred are situated on Coal creek,
about six miles from Fernie. No. 2 mas
always been considered the more danger
Gus, being dry, dusty and gaseous. Re
Gently the dangerous conditions which
had hitherto prevailed in No. 2 tunnel
had been greatly modified and improved
New fans were Installed, furnishing an
excess of air with 40 per cent reserve.

TOWN OF DEBORAH INUNDATED.
Three Lives Lost and Property Dam
aged to Extent of $5OO,OOO.


The flood that swept through the town
of DEBORAH, Iowa, Wednesday, caused
the loss of three lives and did property
damage to the extent of over S5O0,0OO.
Scores of families are homeless and des-
titute. That the town and all its inhabit-
ants were not swept out of existence IS
little less than miraculous, according to
the stories of eye witnesses.
Following a cloudburst near the town,
Dry Rock creek became a river, a great
wall of water twelve to fifteen feet high
sweeping down upon the town of Deco
rah with hardly a moments warning.
Houses, bridges, trees. everything III
the path of the wave went down before
it. Wires in all directions were Destroy
ed. and from that time the town has been
cut off from communication with the out
side world Forty miles of railroad track,
principally that of the st. Paul road,
was swept away.
The deluge changed the map Of the
town, cutting channels where formerly
houses stood, washing great sections out
of streets, picking up dwellings and drop
ping them several blocks from their orig
inal sites.
Two of the victims who lost their lives
were John Carver and a child of Mrs.
Charles Clark. Carver died from shock
and exposure when he was swept from
his house and found himself unable to re-
gain entrance to it. Mrs. Clark grasped
her child in her arms when she heard
the flood sweeping down upon them, and
started to run for place of safety. The
frightened little one struggled from her
and was swept away, while the mother
was nearly drowned. The third person
drowned is child. not yet identified.
