FIVE WERE LOST.
Survivors of Crew of an American
Bark Stranded Near Hong
Kong Reach Frisco.

San Francisco, March 10.-Captain
Jergensen and nine of the crew of the
American bark Alex Mcneil, which
was stranded on Pratas reef, near
Hong-Kong. on December "a, arrived
here Monday on the steamer Coptic
from the Orient. The sailors state
that shortly after the vessel left Hong
Kong on December 10, the officers be-
came intoxicated and the vessel drift
ed from her proper course, finally
bringing up on the reef, where she went
to pieces. A drunken fight followed
the stranding of the vessel, during
which, the sailors assert, the ships
carpenter emptied his revolver at the
officers, but was too intoxicated to aim
with precision-and no one was injured.
A boat containing the first mate and
four of the crew was lost and no trace
of the men was found. The stranded
sailors remained on the reef for three
weeks, finally putting to sea in an i'm
provised boat, headed for Hong Kong.
They were picked up by steamer and
taken to Hong Kong, where the Ameri-
can consul looked after their comforts.
He arranged for their transportation
to this port. Captain Jergensen de-
MES that he or any of the officers were
drunk.

PRESIDENT PLANS A TRIP.
Will Leave Washington About the
First of April for n Rest
I'm the West.

Washington, March 13.-President
Roosevelt's contemplated western trip
was subject of some discussionat the
white house Thursday.
The Kansas people are urging the
president to make some stops in their
state after the dedication of the expo
sition grounds April 80. Only one
stop thus far has been arranged. The
president has accepted an invitation to
attend meeting of the railway branch
of the Y. NJ. c. A., to be held at Topeka
May 1. Few other details of the tim
erary have been worked out. 1t has
been decided with practical definite
ness that only one trip will be made.
While no date for the beginning of the
trip can be fixed definitely until the
senate shall have adjourned it is ex-
pected now that it will not be far from
April 1. After leaving Washington
the president will not return to Wash
ington until some time in June.
1t is likely that the first two or
three weeks of the trip will be passed
principally in the Yellowstone Park.
There the president will seek rest and
recreation, but it is understood that
he will do little hunting.

BLOODY DEEDS.
A Series of Dispatches which Form
Chapter of Unseemly
Horrors.

tucson, ArlZ., Marcn l4.-Mehcan
bandits held up the stage which runs
between Potam and TORN, on the
Iaqui river, in Sonora, killing all of
the six passengers and the driver.
Among them was Filiberto Alvarado,
a wealthy Mexican, who owns num-
Der of ranches along the iaqui river.
Alvarado and his wife. of two months
had taken the stage from Potam to
TORN and the men no doubt thought
they carried a large sum of money
with them. The stage carried very
little mail and scarcely any money or
yaluables except those carried by Al
yarado, so that he must have been
the mark for the bandits.
The hold-up took place about half
way between the two towns, but just
how the stage was attacked will
never be known, as all of the passen-
gers and the driver were killed. They
were picked up the same afternoon
of the tragedy and the circumstances
give evidence that they put up hard
light, else all of them would not have
been killed. Their bodies were
stripped of everything of value. The
traces had been cut and the horses
had been allowed to run wild. The
cover and sides of the stage were
shot full of holes.
Wynee, Ark, March 14.-Five de-
tectives were killed in battle with
Ku- Klux here and 10 members of the
band placed under arrest. The men
in custody are in danger OF lynching
Two hundred negroes are fleeing to
places of safety.
For two weeks the county has been
in a reign of terror over the riotous
acts of mounted band of despera-
does who have been riding over the
country at night and firing volleys OF
iuckshot into the homes of both
whites and negroes. This rioting
was caused by an attempt to drive all
the negroes out of the county and
has caused over 200 of them to aban-
don their homes and flee for their
lives. Warnings were posted on trees
and houses and the negroes were
given a limited time in which to
leave.
Peoria. H., March 14.-William
Minch. one of the best known resi-
dents of Washington. Tazewell coun-
w. on Friday rode to the home of his
brother-in-law, Adam Oetzel, one mile
east Of Farmland, and shot him in
the back, killing him instantly. Then
Minch rode to Washington, to the
home of his former wife, picked up
"A butcher knife, cut off her right
car and one of the fingers of her
left hand. When he had accomplished
this he ran from the house, mounted
his horse and rode to the Santa re
depot. When within few yards OF
the building he placed the revolver to
his head and fired, dying within O

81 hired q girl to mind the chill
dren and to do whatever else she
could. couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as 1 was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
I got up after a few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but l paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret
full and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, didn't think much of that.
Even when q rash broke out on his
face I wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that 10 quite
common with teething babies. Sew
eral of my others had It when little,
and thought nothing about It.
"But the rash on Charles poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. I had never seen any
thing quite like 1t before. The skin
rose in little Jumps, and matter
came out. MY baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer He wouldn't
eat, and night after night walked
the floor with him, weak as ] was.
Often I had to stop because / felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
~ believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some Of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that 10 not catching, they told
me. Yes, gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. /
don't think they were all useless.
Once in while the itching seemed
to let up q bit, but there was not
much change for the better until
lady across the street asked me why
I didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
I told her had no faith In those
things you read about in the papers.
