J. T. Ingraham, who resides
some four miles east of the city, has
purchased a handsome milk wagon
from the Duquesne Vehicle com
pany of Pittsburg. He expects tc
start a dairy and creamery In the
near future. He has also about
completed the erection of a commo
dious green house On his farm. We
are pleased to note the enterprise
and progress displayed by him.
The present fall weather has
surpassed all previous records for
elegance. The manifold beauties
OF nature are apparent in all direc
lions. The foliage Is unusually
pretty and attractive colors, and
the sunsets are beautiful beyond
description. If we don't have to
paw for this weather in cyclones and
billiards the season will long be
remembered with happy recollec-
tons Nature, however, compen
safes for these vagaries In her own
way, and If we have snow next
April and frost next May, we will
know the reason why.

The Largest Towboat Afloat. 1t is
3lS Feet Long and

The Boat Was Built at a Cost of Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars,

The owners of the Peter Sprague
report that the accident to the boat

as bad as reported. After being

where she had been having her
chains frightened up, one of the
chains. which was afterwards dis
covered to be defective, let go, aud
she was Immediately put back on

leaving there for the North with a

The Sprague is the largest tow
boat aHoat, being 3I8 feet long and
81 feet In width. She has three
Hopkin and two Auxiliary boilers.
This is the steamer that wrecked
the show boat of +. E. Eisenbarth

her owner several thousand dollars.
Mr.. Eisenbarth's first demand from
the company was $2o. 900 but later
the matter was settled for some.

Toe boat has been very unfortun-
ate since she was launched, and the
first reports from Saturdays acci.
dent were to the effect that the
boat had been broken in two. The
accident will delay her, however,
leaving New Orleans for a few
days. In all probability she will

Underwood Captured,

South Bend, WASH, June l6.-Paul
Underwood, who with his wife is charged
with the murder of their three weeks old
babe at Seattle, two weeks ago, was cap
turcd in the woods while making his
way to Cedar river. He almost walked
into the arms of Sheriff Cudihee of King
county and was brought to South Bend
on the steamer and is now in the
steel cage in the county Jail. He
looks none the worse for his fight and
life in the woods for the past 10 days.
He seems to take his capture philosophic-
ally, and says that he would have given
himself up before, but he was afraid he
would be shot before he could convince
his pursuers of his intention. He claims
that his baby was practically dead when
he threw it into the water.
The coroner's jury in Seattle charged
Underwood and his wife with murder, and
the latter has been in custody for 10 days.
As soon as the body of the child was
found in the bay and it became known
that its parents were suspected of muir.
der, Underwood fled to the woods, and
for the past 10 days has been pursued by
posse. Mrs. Underwood remained at
the home Of her parents, who reside in
Aberdeen, where she was arrested.
