MYSTERY IN FATE
OF FLOODS VICTIM
BODY OF BERT LOYAL, OF Angus
TIA, SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN
DROWNED, is NOT FOUND.

AUGUSTA, Ca, March S.-There is a
mystery about the fate of Bert Loyal that
remains unsolved.
He is the young white man who was lost
in the flood last Saturday afternoon. To-
gether with a friend he had gone to the
river bank to look at the water and they
were near the foot of Washington street
when train passed over the bridge. Both
tried to Jump on the train, which was
moving very slowly. LoyaFs companion
landed safely. Loyal missed his footing
and was knocked against an obstruction,
falling through the bridge into the water.
He was swiftly swept on by the rushing
flood, though he did not sink. He had On
a rubber overcoat which inflated as he
fell into the water, and sustained him on
the surface like a huge life preserver
Quite a number Of men saw him as he
was thus swept down on the river
though it was impossible to help him, and
the last seen of him was when he was car
ried under and beyond the bridge on Cen
ter street. well out in the stream, but still
floating.
1t was believed that he had been drown
ed, and was so reported. His father Of
fered a reward for the recovery of the
body, and river men have been searching
for it all the week, but without success.
Yesterday the report was brought to the
city that a negro living in Beech Island,
below the city, was caring for a young
white man at his house, whom he had
pulled out of an eddy in the river late Sat
urday evening in an exhausted condition.
The sufferer was unable to speak, but It
was believed that he must be young Loyal
The young mans father went at once to
investigate, but was unable to find the
negro at whose house the white man was
said to be. Mr.. Hanxinson, on whose
place he was supposed TO live, knew
nothing about It, Still it is insisted that
the message was sent to the city, and no
trace of the young mans body having
been found, the hope Is still entertained
that the report may be true. The father.
with a party of friends. is still out trying
to trace the source Of the report.
The young mans mother is Frustrated.

The MARUi GRAS.
How They Prepare For the Great
Festival Mt New Orleans.


Festival mt New Orleans.
The time required for the production
, of the eighty odd floats that enter each
year into the carnival parades at New
Orleans, day and night, is something
like eight months sd that work must
be vigorously prosecuted from early
July in order to have the floats in fin
ished shape by the following February.
The work is done under the Strictest
pledge of secrecy, no one being permit
ted to enter the storage barns, and no
information is obtainable as to the sub.
plays a very important part in the fes
, tivities Of the carnival, says w. G..
Bowdoin in the February Woman's
Home Companion.
The cost of producing each complet
ed float ranges from $500 as mini
more, as the work is more or less or
nate. The float cartoons that are in
spra tons for the artists are accOmpa
MED by elaborate sketches of each OF
the hundred costumes that must be
worn by those actually participating
in the parade. These are done in water
colors upon cardboards little larger
than an imperial photograph. They
show color and other details. The
names of the materials that enter into
the costumes are given on these cards,
and they are subject to criticism by
the design committee
While these things are taking place
all the floats are in the hands of theil
creators, and work is done from de
signs about twenty times the size OF
the costume cards. in which the charac
tiers are posed as they will appear upon
the floats in the street parade. When
no seeming flaw remains, set, accom-
panied by the individual costume cards.

Each suit is numbered and packed in a
separate case. The costumes are usu'
ally delivered during the early part OF
December, after which they are :e-
moved to the "den," where they are
arranged on long pine tables, each Suit
surmounted by its appropriate picture
The members are kept busy for weeks
having their costumes fitted by tailors
armorers and millners. When all prep
arations are at last finished, the vari-
Gus costumes are replaced in their sew
eral boxes, which are kept locked until
the eventful day or night when they
are to be publicly used.
