The big oil fire at Jennings, La, gave
the people there a new problem in fire
fighting. Water would not quench
the flames. 1t was not practicable to
cover them with dirt. Great jets of
steam were tried. to no purpose The
most promising extinguishing agent so
far found is mixture of fine salt,
powdered borax, muriate of ammonia
and powdered alum. A small guam
tity of this mixture was tried the 9TH
er day, with good results. The guam
tity at hand, however, was not large
enough to accomplish the desired re-
suit, so about two car loads of the
mixture were ordered from New Or
leans, and another trial with it will be
made.

Senator Tillman is kept busy these
days pitchforking South Carolina Dem
ocrats out of the party. The latest
victim of his activity is young lawyer
of Charleston, Mr.. Won Kolnitz, who
has represented his people in the lower
house Of the General Assembly as a
Democrat, and now aspires to serve
them in the upper house. The Senator
says Won -Kolnitz is a Republican, and
that if he is sent to the State Senate,
he (Tiilman) will never do another
thing for Charleston. And that prob
ably cooks Mr.. Won Kolnitz's- goose.
Tillman has done a good many things
for Charleston, and Charleston wants
him to keep right on at the good work.
1t may be that Charleston does not
like Tillman. but she is ever ready to
shout for him-and an appropriation.

GIRL SUICIDES BECAUSE SHE
FAILED TO SECURE FAME

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Sept. 13.-It was
because she found the world unlike
what her girlish fancy had pictured
it that Miss Edith NJ. Johnson, %
years old, pretty art student of Chi
cago, plunged into Rock river here
Monday evening and was drowned.
Her body was found by her brothtrs
in eight feet of water about four rods
from the point at which she is sup
posed to have jumped into the stream.
Miss Johnson for several years had
been looked upon as a gifted art stu
dent for whom a great future was
promised. From her childhood she
gave evidence of highly artistic tenn
permanent. She eXcelled both in
music and drawing and her family ex-
pected to see great things OF her. A
few years ago she concluded to dis
continue her studies in music so as
to devote herself entirely to art. To
her confidants she told of her ambi-
tious plans, including trip to Paris
to study painting and drawing and a
journey through Italy to see the
famous ruins and the art collections
of which she had heard so much.
For some reason Miss Johnson's
journey to Paris was delayed from
year to year and at last she grew I'M
willing to talk of her deferred plans.
But for all her assumed merriment
she was unhappy.
How disappointing the world is"
she would say during one of her rare
intervals Of melancholy I'VE dream
and build air castles only to find all
things tightly in the clutch of dreary
commonplace
Two months ago her father, Martin
M. Johnson, a pattern maker for the
Northwestern road, died To dispel
the gloom that seemed to hang over
the girls life her brothers induced
her to visit friends here till autumn
when it was intended that she should
return to the city and keep house for
the family.
Now that her body has been found
some of her friends remember that
she was fond of using odd quotations
apparently in jest. One of these was:
Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick"
Another was:
Repression eateth away the heart"
She always spoke these lines arch
ly but it is supposed that she was
venting her unhappiness in not being
able to use her talents in a broader
field

LAST ERUPTION
MORE TERRIBLE

Fort de France, Sept. 13.-Professor
Angelo Heilprin, president of the Phil
adelpnia Geographical society, who
is in Martinique in the interests of the
National Geographical society, made
report on the recent eruptions OF
Mont Pelee:

eruption far surpasses in extent that Of

persons were killed; as well as Morne

not less than l100 persons; Morne
Capot and the Heights somewhat this
side of Fonds st. Denis.
THE destructive blast was distrbut-
ed radically, crossing the low summit
of the volcano near the knob of Morne
Jacob, skipping the zones between its
rays. The danger from Mont Peloe
was thus materially increased and per-
haps no position in the north of the
island was absolutely safe. The gov
eminent judiciously ordered the evac-
uation of all points reached by ra-
dius Of s or 10 miles from the crater.
The recent phenomena were precisely
like those of May s, death resulting in
most cases from contact with the fer
ribly swift hot blast which burned and
suffocated. The destruction of several

Hall Game, speaking at Ramsey.
Isle of Man, at the opening OF a
Roman Catholic bazar, said that, as d
dramatist, he recognized the good
feeling which had pearly always ex-
listed between dramatists and the
Roman church. That church had
been the friend of the drama in nearly
all ages and countries. The English
drama, in its earliest forms, had prob
ably been made by monks and priests,
and the morality plays were certainly
intended as Illustrations to the teach
ings of the pulpit. From the earliest
times the Roman church had recog.
nized the power of the drama to teach,
instruct and amuse, and no dramatist,
whatever his faith, ought to fail of
gratitude to the church which had
done its best to keep his craft alive
even in times of degradation, excess
and sometimes merited persecution.
1t would be allowed by students of tae
drama that the dramatists had re-
ciprocated the goodwill of the Roman
church. If the church was tc be
dealt with In Lne drama, if its offices
were to be indicated or its ministers
were to be presented on the stage. let
1t be with the reverence that was due
to all sacred things and to all the
great profession. In that case Mr..
Game thought nothing but good could
come of the dramas recognition of
the church and its affairs among the

The interesting features on the

representative snorthorn stock and
the annual cavalcade of premium
stock, given before the grandstand.
The shorthorn sale was largely at
tended by farmers from all parts of
the state and large number of head
of young cattle of the shorthorn breed
were sold at very fair prices. The
sale was conducted under the auspices
of the Wisconsin Shorthorn Breeders
association, and was an experiment
this year. 1t will be followed in sub
sequent years by sales of other breeds
of Wisconsin cattle. The best price
paid for young shorthorn cows at the
sale on the grounds today was $275.
The average price paid for twenty-six
head of young cows was $240, nearly
all of which were bought by Igo, Bar
dolf & Co. of Iowa. Several cows
were sold to Wisconsin farmers. The
best price paid for a bull was $3.50
for 10-months-old specimen, and one
6-months-old brought $40.
The attendance at the fair on the
closing day proved disappointment,
and President McKerrow said: 1T
has always been a question whether
the Friday of state fair has been a
good idea, except where bad weather
interfered during the other days. 1t

on Thursday, which was not more
than $4,000 We will come out this
year able to pay all of our debts and
have considerable money ahead as a
result of the meeting, something we
have not realized for some years."
The attendance probably did not ex-
coed 1000 or 5000 and the grandstand
was not one-third full when the races
began. 1t was a chilly place.
During the week Sergt. Schneider
