BOAT is A MONSTER
Pelican the Largest Graft Ever
Built on the Missis-A

HAS BEEN LAUNCHED AT DUBUQUE

Pass Down on

|. The Pelican. the largest boat, it is
said, ever built on the Mississippi,
was launched at Dubuque Monday af
ternoon, and within few days peo-
pie along the river here Will have a
glimpse of the monster craft, on it's
voyage to the lower river, if the low
stage of the water does not render
it impossible to transport the boat
southwark this summer.
The Pelican is 500 feet long and 90
feet over her guards. The hull is
constructed entirely of steel and as
she stands on the ways she looks like
an ocean steamer. The craft was
built for the Mississippi
Railway Transfer company, and the
fact that the Iowa Iron works was
the successful bidder out of large
number of eastern competitors re-
fleets great credit on Dubuque. 1t
demonstrates that inland Industries
are full of promise.
To Build Government Boat.
Work will begin at ONCE on another
boat, the Oleander-a boat ordered
by the United States government at
the Dubuque yards. 1t will be 169
feet long and will be used in the light
house service.
All the deck work on the Pelican
was done in Dubuque. Some of the
heavy machinery. however, will not
be placed until she reaches st. Louis.
because it is feared difficulty may be
experienced in getting through the
locks at Keokuk.
The Sprague, which was also built
by the Iowa Iron works and which
was towed down the river before She
was completed. is lying at the levec
at st. Louis ready TO be put into the
service. 1t is expected that steam
will be raised in her this week.

He DIDN'T FEAR THEM.
u Source of Amy Great Annoy
ance with Him.

There is doctor of the old school in one
of the New England villages near Ran
dolph, Mass, the former home of Mary
E. Wilkins, whose house is surrounded by a
cemetery. The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an eighth of a mile. Some might find such a
house lot doleful, and surely the neighbors are
not lively. But that thought never troubled
the villagers SO mucl as the prospect of
going home at night, says the New York
Tribune. In the country towns of New
England the graveyard at night is still a
thing of terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
footstones toward the east, so that the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day. So the doctor is often asked the
question: Are you not afraid to go home
sometimes at night"
And his answer is always the same: mo;
my neig irbors will never trouble me; they
all owe me money"

R;ebts of Fishermen.

Since the trout fishing season opened
there have been a number of conflicts
between landowners and sportsmen
over the right of the latter to fish in
creeks and other small streams. The
attorney general has received many
INQUIRIES as to the rights of the fish
ermen and the landowners under the
law. The law. of course, provides that
landowner has no property interest
in fish that may be in a navigable
stream running through his land The
attorney general holds that a, naviga-
bic stream may be only few feet wide,
large enough to float fence post per-
haps. or any other small piece of mer-
charitable property. As long as a fish
erman keeps on the surface of the
water or on the bed of the stream and
does not touch the land on either side
above the ordinary high water mark
he cannot be molested by the land
owner.

Delay in Reporting Bill Saving Of Time Lat.

Washington, Jan. 29.-An attempt is
being made to make capital out OF the
delay in reporting the canal bill, but
Senator Mitchell says that time will be
saved in having every possible feature
OF opposition to Nicaragua developed
III the committee, so that there can be
no requests for further investigation,
or further delay after the bill comes
before the senate. Then it will simply
be a question which is the best route,
and while the matter may be discussed
at length, debate cannot be drawn out
as it might be, should some senator
hold that the committee had not gath
cred all the facts obtainable. Senator
Hanna acknowledges that the commit
tee is surely in favor of the Nicaragua
bill, there being three majority against
Panama, whenever the committee is
ready to vote.

DEATH AND RUIN
GREAT EXPLOSION IN THE CITY
OF NEW YORK.
Six Men Lose Their Lives-Number Of In
iured Reaches One Hundred-Blast Goes
Off Without Warning at Tunnel Of New
Rapid Transit Railway-Property Loss is
Estimated at 100000.

New York, Jan. 29.-The reserve
supply of high explosives stored at the
Park avenue shaft OF the Rapid Transit
tunnel, now in course of construction,
blew up shortly after noon today. The
giant blast killed six persons, injured
100 others and damaged all the proper
ty reached by the flying debris and the
vibration of the shock.
The irregular square formed by the
Murray Hill hotel on the west, the
Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital and
the Grand Union hotel on the east =,
and the Grand Central station on the
north, was the scene of the explosion.
The buildings named sustained the
greatest damage, but the area extended
for several blocks in the four directions
from the center.
General alarms brought firemen, po-
lice reserves and every available ambu-
lance to the spot. A majority of the
wounded were treated on the spot and
the white coated ambulance surgeons
worked for an hour in the debris-strewn
streets. Police lines were thrown at
either end of Park avenue and across
the intersecting streets.
The cause of the explosion and the
quantity OF explosives that blew up are
not definitely known. Several causes
have been advanced. One was that Il
fire started near the powder room.
Another was that it started from
spark produced from Il stray current of
electricity. A third placed the blame
upon Il blast in the tunnel. Still
another gave Il gas explosion from cleo
trical contact with the trolley conduit
in the electrical subway. 1t will take
an official examination to reveal the
true explanation.
The damage may exceed 81 ,O00, 900.
The first estimate of the damage to the
Murray Hill hotel places the loss at
500, 900, but later the hotel was
abandoned as unsafe If the building
is condemned, the loss on it alone will
approximate 81 100000.

Destroying Foul Brood.

At the annual meeting of the Ontario
Beekeepers' Association at Woodstock,
Ont. Professor Harrison of the Onta-
rio Agricultural College at Guelph. de-
scribed new and simple method Of
destroying the germs of foul brood. He
placed combs containing larvae dead
from this disease. capped cells Of
brood, and cells of honey. in a box
which was alright except for small
hole at top and bottom. Then small
alcohol lamp was arranged with the
reservoir at the top containing forma-
lin. and connected by a rubber tube
with the bottom of the box. This con-
veys to the box the formalin vapOr
produced by the heat of the lamp.
When the box is so completely filled
with formalin that the gas issues free
ly from the hole in the top. both holes
are tightly closed for one hour. Pro-
fessor Harrison has been unable to OBJ
tain any signs of life from foul-br0od
germs treated in this apparatus.

Dole Not Asked to RESIGN.

Sam Parker, who was once promi-
nent in Hawaiian affairs, a member of
the Republican national committee
from that territory, is stirring up
more or less gossip about the governor
ship, and already several stories have
been published that he is to succeed
Dole. 1t was ascertained at the White
House today that Dole's resignation
had not yet been asked for, and the
president has not decided to select
Parker if he finds it necessary to make
a change. He is considering the case
and it is possible after he obtains all
the facts that Dole may be removed
and that Parker may be appointed
but some other man instead of Parker
stands just as good chance.
1t is reported that General Miles and
Admiral Dewey are to be sent to Europe
as representatives of the st. Louis ex-
position, to arouse interest in the en-
terpriSe and secure foreign exhibits.
Should this be done, both will first
have to obtain permission from their
respective departments.
