The president was up and stirring
about his car at the Union Pacific sta

ed to the small crowd gathered to see
him off, Congressman Curtis made
the introduction. The president said:
II will not attempt to make speech
to you, but simply wish you good
morning and tell you that have had
a good time in Topeka. I want to say
to you that part of this time has been
a very lively one and that last evening,
in driving from the governors resi-
dence to the auditorium, rode about
the liveliest gait of the trip, and don't
think I ever saw such fast running
policemen as you have here in Topeka.
and l want to now shake hands with
one of the sprinters."
He then reached over the railing and
gave hearty shake to the hand of a
big colored policeman, who showed
his delight in huge smile.

DEADLY R0CK-SL|DE
OyerwheIms a Small Town
in British Columbia.
NEARLY HUNDRED KILLED
Great Mass cf Boulders Dislodoed from
Top Of Turtle Mountain Hurled
Without Warning, Upon Sleep
ing Villagers.

Overwhelmed before daylight Wed
nesday by countless tons of rock hurl-
ed from the top of Turtle mountain
by some unknown force, which kiliea
near a hundred persons, Frank, min
ing town in southwestern Alberta
British Columbia, was threatened with
destruction by flood.
Old Mans river, which flows through
the middle Of the town, was choked
with the fallen rocks to the height
Of nearly 100 feet The waters OF the
river backed up for miles and the en-
tire valley above Frank was flooded.
A dispatch from Frank says: "A
tremendously loud reverberation shook
the whole valley of the Old Mans rlV'
er this morning at 4:10 o'clock, ana
before the inhabitants had awakened
to a realization of the impending dan
ger from the top of Turtle mountain
there were hurled millions Of tons OF
rock. -.-.. s.; 3
"The Frank mines, operated by the
French Canadian Coal Company,
across the river from the town, were
seen to be bYried under hundreds OF
feet of rock lust as .e morning light
was breaking. Inside OF FIVE minutes
from the first thunderous shock, ana
before half Of the town realized what
had happened. a small force OF men
had started to the relief OF the miners,
despite the great risk they ran OF De-
ing buried under the rocks, which
were still being precipitated from the
lofty mountain top. The volunteer re-
lief force was unable to get into the

"The disaster was not confined TO
the vicinity OF the mine alone, Tor
many of the dwelling houses in the
town of Frank were demolished by the
falling rock. Some OF the occupants
Of these houses escaped death, but
many others were instantly killed..
Ala O'Clock in the afternoon the 1ol'
lowing conservative estimate OF tne
loss of life was made: Men, women
and children killed in their beds, ~;
miners working outside the mines ana
instantly killed, IL; imprisoned IN tne
mine, IS.
Later News More Cheering.
Information from Frank later wed
nesday evening was somewhat more
reassuring than earlier news, in tna'
there now seems to be less danger
than was at first anticipated Of an ex-
tensive disaster through the threaten
ed food. A large force of men went
to work to create new channel, that
the damned up water OF the Old Man
river may run off.
Most Of the men imprisoned in tne
mine, whose death at first seemed cer'
tain, got out alive later in the Gay.
There were seventeen men In sne
mine. Two died from suffocation, out
the other fifteen worked their way OUT
uniniured after cutting their way
through thirty feet of debris. One OF
me men who escaped went home after
emerging from the mine and found his
oouse deserted and his wife and six
children dead.

mates the total number. OF dead at
1inety-five.

PRIEST HELDFOR MURDER.
Sensational Aftermath of Mysterious
Killing Of Young Girl in
lorair, Ohio.

A special from Lorain, Ohio, states
that Rev. J. Walser, a priest, was ar
rested Saturday on the charge of the
murder of Miss Reichlin, and was ta-
ken to jail at Elyria. Mayor King, who
ordered the arrest, said he did at as
much for the priests protection as for
anything else. The police have aban-
doned the theory that the murderer
entered by the ladder and window.
The hounds found no trail from the
ladder nor in the yard. Rev. Walser
WIS a guest for the night at the house
and his voom adjoined that of Miss
Reichlin. The doors between the room
could only be locked from his room.
Rev. Ferdinand Walser celebrated
his silver jubilee at st. Joseph's col
lege, Rensselaer,, Ind, March Is. He
is 81 yeors of age. On the Sunday fol-
lowing he was rendered a great recep.
tion at Sacred Heart church. He went
to Lorain on Wednesday last as a
guest at the home of Rev. Charles
Reichlin, pastor of st. Joseph's Cath
Ollie church in that town. The latter
was called to Kelly's island to oficiate
at funeral late Wedp esday. At his
home he left his sister and houscllaep-
er, Agatha, and younger brother, Cas-
imir, to entertain the visiting priest.
During the night, according to the
story of Rev. Walser, he heard screams
from the room occupied by the girl and
declared that he gained the hallway
just in time to see man disappear
ing through an open window. When
Casimer Reichlin reached his sisters
room she was dead, her head having
been nearly pounded to a pulp with
some blunt instrument.
Bloodhounds were sent from Fort
Wayne, Ind, and given the scent OF
the murderer. The dogs circled around
the house several times and finally
went to the room occupied by Rev.
Walser on the night of the murder.
They again took the trail and led the
officers direct to st. Joseph's hospital.
where Rev. Walser slept the following
night. He was found at the hospital
and placed under arrest the officers
claiming there were many suspicious
circumstances against him in addition
to the bloodhounds following his trail.
Rev. Walser showed no excitement
when placed under arrest and declared
he was innocent The murdered young
woman was handsome and had many
friends and admirers.

MARCUM ASSASSINATED.
Attorney for Feucist Faction in Ken.
lucky Shot Dead on Court Hours
Steps at Jackson.

Just after he had finished fling pa
pers, reopening the contested election
cases of Breathitt county, Kentucky,
Hon. James 3. Marcum was shot and
killed by an unknown assassin. He
fell in his tracks in the front entrance
cf the court house at Jackson, and
never spoke, death being almost in
stantaneous. He fell within few
yards of where Town Marshal James
Cockrell was shot down In July, the
assassin being stationed In the court
house in each instance.
Marcum was counsel for the fusion
lists, who are contesting for the Offices
of county Judge, sheriff and other
places now held by democrats.
AS result Of his efforts and his
sympathy with the Cockrell faction In
the Hargis-Cockre1l feud. he had for a
year been generally regarded as a
marked man." Various plots to assas-
sinate him have been reported and
sworn to by aff1davits. For seventy-two
days last fall he was prisoner in his
own home, daring not even to go out
on his porch. The bitterness Of the
feud somewhat abated, however, and
the election cases were allowed to
sleep until Monday.
At s o'clock Monday morning he
went to the court house at Jackson and
the papers were filed. He walked from
the clerks office to the front door Of
the court house facing the street and
engaged in conversation with Benja-
min Ewing, a friend. The corridor
stretching out to his back was full OF
men. Ewing was half leaning on Mar
Gums shoulder. The men had been
talking about three minutes, and 1t was
80 o'clock when the shot rang out IN
the rear of the corridor.
Marcum staggered and as he sank to
the floor another shot was fired. The
first bullet entered the back to the
right Of the spinal column and passing
through the breast and body struck the
door facing him. The next shot passed
through the top of his head and was
aimed as he reeled.
The shots appeared to come from a
doorway, or possibly from behind a
door in the corridor.

< Death of Colonel Gibbes.

Colonel James c. Gibbs, state land
agent and one of Columbia's oldest and
most distinguished citizens, died at his
home in that city the past week. He
had been in failing health for some
, time, but the news that he had suffered
a stroke of paralysis was shock to
his many friends. His physical condi-
tion was such that he never Recovered
consciousness, nor was he able to rally
in any way.
Colonel Gibbes was mayor of Colum-
,bia when Sherman's army came
through. Perhaps the most distin-
guished service he rendered his coun-
try during the war was the securing,
from wealthy German nobleman, the
loan of s6,00O,OOO, to repay which was
pledged the product of the cotton fields
of the southern states. Mr.. Gibbes was
born in Columbia on the 9Th Of jan

BOTH TEDDY AND GROVER
Guests at Dinner rendered Them by
Ex-Governor Francis at His
Home in st. Louis.

President Roosevelt arrived in st.
Louis Wednesday afternoon to partici-
pate in the dedication ceremonies OF
the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
To avoid the great crowd, arrange
ments were made to have him leave
the train at Forsyth Junction, three
miles from the center of the city. Mem
bers of the national commission Of the
worlds fair, reception committee,
headed by President Francis and a
crowd of spectators were present at
the junction to welcome the president.
After an informal welcome to st.
Louis, the president was at once driV-.
en- off to the Good Roads convention
at Odeon hall. The hall was packed
with a crowd which had been waiting
patiently for hours. The president
spoke OF, good roads in tones which
showed, as we'll as his words, that he
was thoroughly in sympathy with the
object of lne associations.
Roads," he declared, tell the great
ness Of a nation. The influence OF the
nations which have not been road
builders has been evanescent. Rome.
the most powerful of the older eiviliza-
tions, left her impress on literature
and speech; she changed the bounda-
ries of nations, but palmer than any
thing else left to remind US OF the Ro-
man civilization, are the Roman
roads,"
At this point in the presidents
speech the crowd rose and cheered,
waving handkerchiefs and hats.
The president declared that good
roads probably were the greatest
agency for regulating the flow from
the country to the city OF young men
AID young women.
From Odeon hall the president was
driven at sharp trot to St. LOUIS uni
versity A few minutes were spent
there, after which the president and
other guests repaired to the home OF
President Francis for dinner.
President Cleveland arrived over the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern at
$50 o'clock p. m, twenty-five minutes
late, and a large reception committee
was waiting for him. The members
of the diplomatic corps arrived shortly
before AS Mr.. Cleveland alighted
from the train, he was warmly greeted
by President Francis, who had driven
rapidly to the depot after greeting
President Roosevelt at Forsythe juno
ton. The members Of the committee
crowded around and Mr.. Cleveland
was unable to proceed for several min
utes, so thick was the throng about
him. A passage was finally cleared
and with President Francis he walked
through the aisles formed by the crowd
and entered a carriage, was driven to
thes residence of President Francis,
where President Roosevelt was also
guest. |

Only a Few Children Affected.

Suiy q =" Shi0t Gil SflSSeCCs
The child labor bill, known as the
Marshall law. went into effect through
out South Carolina on the first OF. this
month. Under it's provision no child
under 10 can legally work in any cot
ton mill
There were so few of such en-
ployees that the enforcement of the
law did rot create ripple at Colum-
bia. great factory center, where
about twenty children were affected.
These reported for work as usual, but
were promptly turned back and not
permitted to work.
An exception is made in the law in
cases where the labor Of children un-
der the prescribed age is absolutely
necessary to the support of a widowed
mother or helpless father, but no
case of that sort arose in Columbia.
