Oddly Shaped Spiders.

Tho most peculiar spiders Ia tho world,
as we'll rs the largest ones, inhabit the Is
land of Sumntra They arc Of all conceiv-
able forms and colors, and some Of them
spin threads almost rs largo and strong as
the grocer's twine. Some quccrly shaped
spiders have square bodies poised on long
red legs, and others have crooked green
and yellow legs which support heart shaped
bodies. Ono of the very oldest Of the lot
has q body that looks like that Of u young
turtle, the "shcll' having round knobs
and pear shaped projections all over it.

CONDITIONS IN MISSISSIPPI.
Many Lives Lost and Damage Is
Enormous.

Memphis, Tenn, March 30.-Advices
from the flooded districts in Missis-
sippi tonight are that the waters are
slowly receding and it is believed that
the worst is over. The situation has
been critical one, and the damage to
railroads, farms and other property
will foot up an enormous sum. 1t
IS reported that many negroes lost
their lives, but the exact number cam
not be given at present.
Meridian. in the eastern part of the
state, has had no railroad communi-
cation for several days.
Railroad traffic continues paralyzed
In that section. Not one of the five
railroads entering the city have yet
been able to get trains through either
north or south. Mail. however, is
being transferred on the Alabama
Great Southern at Narkeeta creek.
Where the bridge was washd away.
Large forces are at work on all the
washouts and traffic may be resumed
north of Meridian tomorrow. The
damage south on the Northeastern, Mo-
pile and Ohio and Alabama and Vicks-
purg is more disastrous than first an
uelpated, and it is doubtful if traffic
IS resumed inside of eight and possibly
Ten days. The railroad officials are
having difficulty in securing work.

State Capital Printing Plant and
other Buildings Destroyed at To-
tai Loss of $3JO,0OO.
Guthrie, Okla, March 30.-Guthrie
was visited to-day by a $350,OO0 fire,
and as a result the State Capital
Printing Plant, the Hotel Capitol. the
st. James Hotel, the Canmack livery
stable and the Richey general store
are in ruins.
Everything in the State Capital
Printing Plant was destroyed, includ-
ing two presses, linotype machines,
electric and steam heating systems.
libraries and a large stock of sup
plies.
F. H. Greer the owner, states that
the total loss is $250,000. Not a thing
but the mailing lists of the paper was
saved. The loss in the other building
will make the total loss to the town
fully s350000.
The fire started in the basement of
the State Capital and was soon roar
ing up the elevator shafts. A high
wind was blowing and it was impos-
sible to check the flames. Assistance
was asked of Oklahoma City, Perry,
Kingfisher and other surrounding
cities, but the high wind did the work
before help could arrive. Work viii
commence at once on the construction
of new buildings for the State Capital.
AS no work had been in progress in
the newspaper building to-day, 1t is
believed the fire was of incendiary
origin.
