We GAN BURY OUR OWN Dead.

all Needy and Deserving Con-
fedefafe Veterans.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 11.-The
Confederate Veterans of New Orleans
last night refused the proffered aid of
Gen. Torrance, commander in-chieE of
the Grand Army of the Republic. Taey
decline with thanks the money to build
a home for INDECENT Confederate SOL
diers in Alabama. The Army of the
Tennessee adopted resolutions referring
to Gen. Torrance's offer in the kindest
terms, declaring that he possesses a
noble heart, full of brotherly love, -
but the resolutions say:
-"We cannot accept even this gener-
ously profered assistance from any
source save from our OWE people. It
is the duty of the South alone, to pro-
vide for Confederate soldiers who may
need assistance. 70 permit others to
do that duty would, in our Judgment,
be both unbecoming and wrong to the
Southern people. But let it be well
understood that we are grateful to a
neighbor who offers financial assist
ance when the angel of death visits his
home. In both cases we must politely
but firmly decline to accept the offer.
There are certain duties which high
toned people cannot permit others to
perform and this is one Of them.''

Big Texas Oil Fire.

Beaumont, Texas, September 12.-
The oil field is on FIRE and, Judging by
the great volume Of smoke which is
flowing in from Spindle Top, there is
great danger that great loss will be
sustained, if this field is not destroy
ed.
The fire started early in the evening
in some waste OIL alongside the Texas
and Sabine tracks and burned about
sixty feet of trestle. This was gotten
under control and it was believed that
all danger had passed, but in some
way the FIRE has been communicated to
the field and number OF huge, set.
Ting tanks, containing thousands OF
barrels of petroleum, have already ex-
ploded and others are reported as being
in the direct line of the fire, which
has spread over wide area already. ;,
The ground is saturated with OIL
and there is no chance for stopping
the progress of the flames tonight. Ihe
fire is spreading rapidly and 1T IS be,
lieved the whole field will be ignlteo
before DAYLIGHT.

The MISSOURI SCANDAL.
All of The indicted Legislators
Want TO Turn States Evidence.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 1.-THE prin-
cipal items of interest today in connec-
tion with the investigation by Circuit
Attorney Folk into the alleged Doodle
combines in both branches..of the mum
cipal assembly, were the return OF
Former Delegate Nm. Tamblyn from
Cleveland in the custody Of an officer,
and the sessions of the grand jury.
Before being placed in cell, Tamblyn
asked to see Mr.. Folk.
His intention was to tell all he knew
about the doings of the combine in
the house of delegates; but be finally
decided not to say anything at this
time for the circuit attorney told
Tamblyn that if be desired to make
any statements about matters that
were being Investigated be must do so
voluntarily without hope of clemency.
Mr.. Folk said that he had all the
evidence needed to convict the mem
bers of the house combine.
In statement today, Circuit Attor-
ney Folk said chat almost every one
of the, indicted members of the house
Of delegates combine had offered to
turn States evidence, but he declined
to accept more than two or three with
a promise of clemency. Before j. K.
Murrell's return and confession the
members of the combine, Mr. Folk
said, were so sure of their position
that offers Of the authorities to take
care of the iDformers were spurned.
Now the sitaation is different.
The grand jury held two sessions to-
day. At each session several members
of the council that passed the city
lighting bill in 1899 were called on to
tell what they knew of the transactions
connected with the defeat and passage
of such measures.
All day long runors were rife that
indictments would be found soon
against memebrs Of the couMcit COM
b1ne, but the grand jury adjourned
until tomorrow without taking any
such action.
There was a furry of excitement
when the grand jury adjourned fog
lunch and four of the members Of the
city council were detained. It looked
as if they were to be held as priso2ersy
but this detention was explained when
adjournment was taken fog the night
and they were released. Fhe distinct
attorney stated that their detention
was merely for the purpose Of having
them ay hand for the opening Of the
afternoon session of the gyand jury.
Me-. Folk said the grand jury will con-
tiass the investigation into ahe light
ming scandal for several days.

70 q numerous class OF lakes
formed by the great glacial ice
sheet on it's final retreat toward
the north. Then and for some.
time after, when it was fed by the
heavy rains following the glacial
period, it had an outlet to the
south into the Sheyenne River;
and q will marked and empty
channel still remains between the
Lake and the river. Long before
settlers first came to the region
in 1880, the lake had sunk below
the level Of this channel and has
since been without an Eoutlet.
Regular observations for the last
nineteen years show a steady and
almost uninterrupted sinking Of
the water. Groves Of trees, which
once stood at the beach, are now
separatedfrom it bybroad strips of
sand, and the shallow parts of the
lake, notably the long arms and
bays have been left quite dry.
Another important and interest
ing feature is the change in the
water from fresh to salt; this has
taken place within, the memory of
man, and is in some particulars
producing unfavorable results.
Fish we're found in the lake in
great abundance up to about 1888;
since then they have grown rapid
ly less, until now, practically none
are caught.
The United States Geological
Survey has recently established a

Yet the beginning Of the end may
